What's the point...

Annual pity threads not enough now?

Come on, let's not kick someone while he's down.

But then I'd never get to kick him :(

... of going forward if you see no chance of happiness?

Everything has happened before and will happen again.

Oh and man up and realise that you, just you can sort your life out.

Not cool. If you guys don't want to read it, don't drop in just to be a dick to him.

I was commenting on his original post and I was giving him some advice, something from his original post I got the impression he wanted.

Unless it's an attention whoring thread and in that case, my advise still stands.
 
So read it, but do you really need to go out of your way to be mean to the guy?

I can do both.

But really, this is like volume 30 or something, he starts the same thread over and over and over and expects us to change his life for him.
 
I think Happyness comes if you share it. Example: I sang in a choir and last Christmas, we went to a rest home and sang for them. They were very happy about this, some even with tears in their eyes, because they felt good and special that people though at them and came to sing just for them. I was happy, because they were happy.
And it did not cost any money.

Though I also understand that to have at least a reasonable amount of money to pay for the basics that are normal in our society does keep away certain worries.

Trekker, I don´t know why you feel so unhappy, but wish you thhat you very soon find again some happiness in you and with the world around you.

I don't get it. If you're so tired of it why don't you just avoid his threads then? Like I said, you're just going out of your way to be mean.

Indeed, hence my advise.

I'll admit, you said it better.

It comes from personal experience. It's only me (or in Trekkers case Trekker) who can sort their life out, something I did with out dozens of "woe-is-me" threads and doing bugger all about it.
 
I've helped quite a few people, I spend the odd few hours at a time some nights on Facebook talking to people who need it even if it means no sleep, but they go on to do something and I've seen them turn their lives around.

After about 6 years or more and at least twice as many woe-is-me things from Trekker I know it's a waste of time and effort at this point. I mean hundreds of posts have passed in those threads making the same point you eloquently made all to no aveil, forgotten and ignored by him.
 
I think that most if not all of us will continue to have moments and phases when we're fed up with things, to put it mildly. I think that a certain amount of strength and forbearance comes from simple recognition of that and the ability to make light of the fact that ultimately we're all screwed. Nobody has it made, probably not even cats. Look at any mover and shaker in history and chances are you will find someone who was in some way at odds with the world.

I'm really pulling for Trekker, though, in all seriousness. I'd like to see him be happy. It's just that change has to start from the inside, and even then, happiness will not come straight away. It takes lots of time and effort to become happy, particularly when it seems everything around you is damn determined to keep you miserable.
 
We all want him happy and for this current mentality to end but we've done our bit, over and over, and none of it ever sticks, he not only doesn't follow our advice he seems to outright forget it all and start from scratch, it wears on the nerves something awful after the first few years.

Maybe he needs a hug. See, I've got that hug build going. I was made for hugs.

I was made for biting but I can manage the odd hug. :D
