I really need to change

[Trekker4747]

There was a time on this board that I was well liked, people laughed at my jokes, respected my opinion and, well, liked me.

Now, I think everyone just sees me as a whiny bitch who should go away and I do not like that feeling. I do not know when or how I changed but it seems I did.

I just hope that my "rep" here isn't too far gone and that it can be recovered. Truth is I've been under a lot of stress over the last couple of years due to personal real-life issues I just assume not get into but it's deep, depressing, stuff and I guess I've been using this place to "vent" and I shouldn't.

And for that I am sorry.

I'm really a nice guy, who's funny and knows how to have fun, I've just been under stress and change which neither are things I deal with well.

LOL

You're fine Trek

Why would you worry about what people think of you on the internet?

 

[TheWifeOfBrian]

Well, perhaps you might consider not posting when angry and stressed, or at least starting "OMG I AM ANGRY/STRESS'D" shreads when you are.

That'll give you a place to vent and hopefully recover some of your mojo so you can get back to being the paragon of amusement you once were.

I still love 'ya!

Trekker, that's what I like about you. You're very honest and open. In another forum that I visit, I'm the one who gets labeled "whiny." You're a really cool and nice guy, and although we had disagreements in the past, you and I actually share things in common. I feel I can always relate to your posts and have enjoyed reading your comments and jokes through the years. I don't know what gave you the indication that you're not liked around here. Peace.

You really shouldn't worry about things like this.

I am sure there are some people here who would love to stuff a sock down my throat and chop off my fingers but I don't care. I act like myself here and if people dislike my personality, meh. It's just a forum. A lot of people just don't get my sarcasm. I am barely ever serious unless the conversation calls for it. Otherwise, I am just having fun and trying to put a smile on at least one person's face.

Everyone gets in a bad mood once in a while. I've posted once or twice while moody but people probably don't even remember those times. If you were a dick every single time you logged on, yeah, different story, but if you log on a few times and are feeling a bit angry/stressed, it's no big deal. Just post when in a good mood and people wont remember when you were bitchy.

I would give one word of advice, though:

Try and go a year without complaining about bad drivers.

Yes, Americans are horse shit drivers. We get it.

That's one problem I've ran into a few times -even in real life- is that people don't get my dry, sarcastic-wit sense of humor and think I'm serious all of the time when I quip.

Oh, but the boil my blood so much!

Well there's two reasons for this

Really? I can think of four.

There's nothing wrong with complaining, ranting, or whining about something. It's human nature. I've replied to and started threads talking about the shitty things (and people) I've had to deal with. Sometimes it does help to talk it out, whether you're just blogging or posting on an Internet board like this.

And see, people have ranted at me to get a blog. Like Misc is some hallowed ground of great discussion.

I know I do it a lot, but what can I say, I'm a tense person with a need to vent.

 

[Kestra]

The whining bothers me a bit, because so many people have lives that are completely awful and sometimes it seems like you need a bit of perspective. Then again, maybe you are one of those people with a really awful life. I wouldn't know.

I don't like when people are really negative, but I especially don't like when people seem to be looking down on others. It might just be my perception but it seems like you sometimes do this.

Honestly though Trekker, the place wouldn't be the same without you. Sometimes you get good conversations going, sometimes you start threads I wish I had never clicked on, but if you weren't around this place would be a lot more dull. You seem like a good guy, so I hope you find a way of dealing with the stress and start feeling better!

But at the same time it's not "what's on Trekker's mind right now."

A blog would be good for you, maybe even twitter or something.

Screw what few members may not laugh at your jokes or like you. Life isn't about being liked be a few lifeless series fans who probably live in their parent's basement and have never kissed a girl, why being a dick in TNZ.

Be your own man. And continue making those angry posts about grocery store clearks and what not -- I enjoy seeing them.

Listen to these two. They speak the truth.

Isn't that a signature on here or something. That looks so familiar.

 

[tharpdevenport]

Some Americans are horse shit drivers. Especially those from Alabama.

I rode behind a horse shit driver today who drove with her foot on the break all the way, with only brief secodn of takign it off. Annoying as sin; I won't know when she's breaking unti lthe car suddenly decellorates. Anyway, I live in the sweet knowledge this idiot PRobably goes threw at least one, maybe two sets of brakes every year because of that kind of constant use. Happy pocket book emptying, moron!
