Some have less pronounced accents than others. It can also be somewhat relative. In terms of a U.S. accent (yes, in and of itself that implies there is one) I don't really have a regional one. I was born and raised in the south, yet unless I get really drunk around those with a real southern accent, I don't have a very pronounced one. Others have told me they don't even notice that I have one.

That being said, if I go to any other country, of course people will say I have an accent. In this one, others don't seem to think I have one.

And now for my own rant... :P


I don't get people. Well, specifically women. Maybe it is normal women, maybe it is all women, maybe it is abnormal women and I just have great luck in finding mostly that kind, and specifically becoming interested in that type. Never on the same wavelength. Better yet, never on the same frequency. Even if there are mutual thoughts or inclinations (which seems to be rare enough,) it is never anywhere near the same timing. Or maybe it is that they're mildly interested, I f**k up, they get annoyed, they get over it, they get more interested, and by that point I've forced myself to do the best to move on. Not entirely move on, once I notice they are at the least acting interested (either as best as I can tell...which isn't all that great, or according to others), then my life is back to s**t and I"m back to square one, but this time paranoid, unsure of everything, and reluctant to act in any way whatsoever. Leading me into a worse situation than I had been in initially.

The timing. The timing always seems really... off. That's going to be the death of me. For now, it is just the slow and non-permanent injury of my left bicep. Eventually, it will be the death of me, from organ failure or otherwise.

Rant's over, but I can't think of a better place to put this, so...
Things are taking their toll already. I'm getting more bitter. Less caring. Catching myself thinking in much less positive ways in terms of others. More aggressive. More angry, in some ways angry at the world. I don't like it, but I don't know how to stop it.

You know, I dont care anymore. I don't give a f**k. We only had one or two msn conversations, to my recall, so get that fact right for a start. You did not always message me first. I find it amusing that you are another who seems intent on dragging me through the dirt and then when I respond, using my emotions against me, claiming me to be some sort of poor me who should shut up and deal with it. That is the implication. Latterly, you have done nothing but criticise me in your rants and put me down, and god knows what else. But of course, you cannot see my side at all... I am not human...you have never felt this way, so you COULDNT POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND, cos if you did, you would leave me the hell alone and quit taking digs are me all over the place as you have been.

And if your other little rant refers to me...read the threads on here...oh and pms where I have helped people. I bloody well help plenty of people, so don't even try and throw that one at me. It is the haven. IT was my right to use it the same as anyone else does. There is no rule that says you cannot post your difficult feelings as much as you need to.
But I suppose you would be happier to see someone commit suicide and keep their issues to themselves...seems to be the impression I get from you. Yeah :roll:

My life would be fine, for once, if people would leave me alone. I see someone who is using everything they can against me and entirely ignoring all the many other posts I make. That is just downright vindictive and nasty, in my eyes.

Yes real life where I always seem to be the only one who is singled out for criticism. No-one else on here gets this. Just me
The irony is that I already spend most of my days putting myself down, I dont need others to do it for me. I am sure it is great fun to join in and give me more justification for calling my own self a selfish b***h most days...you seem to have the impression that I am blind to my flaws. I am not. If no one had noticed, it is actually an AS thing to abhor being criticised. It is amazing how many here treat fellow members as if they are NTs and supposed to be able to see everything from a nice little all round, healthy point of view. I do not, and I have never claimed to. I have been nothing but honest about my faults around this forum. I have never hidden them. Yet people like yourself, as said, seem intent on seeing only that...my bad side. Maybe I should just have faked being all round 100% nice perfect person to make you happy, but I am sorry, I don't believe in pretense and coming here pretending to be someone I am not. Want me de-modded? Fine,, I dont even care about that anymore. This place can never feel secure to me again now anyway so my stay is unlikely to last. That is the way it goes once people have decided to shove my worthlessness in my face.

This thread is for ranting. Not "discussion" between two or more members. That would be considered fighting. A rant is something done by one person, not two, three, or twenty.

That being said, this thread shouldn't be in the haven. If people want to rant about other people, that's fine, but that could be viewed as an attack against others. So throw it in members discussion or something like that. The possibility of it being used for a rant against another member is reason enough for it to not be here.

observing all this...it makes me ask one question
what the hell?
When I first came here...I thought Graelwyn was a remarkable person, a fighter you know...
She seemed so sad and I really wanted to help, but I didn't quite know how so I decided to just have a nice talk to her instead...
I wanted to be her friend-she seems like a good person, but for some reason gets critisized for being so sad and sharing her feelings (which takes guts!)
It seems people don't get the idea of the haven :? and instead of trying to make Graelwyn feel better people make her feel worse
What the hell is all I can say...
rant done

Agreed. Maybe we should start NOT posting rants about other members
here. It just ends up being a case of trolling. This thread is in the haven,
where the rules should be even stricter than they are elsewhere.

I'm not sure how much longer I can handle my current living situation. Things are getting worse day by day. I'm usually a very tolerant person. Most people would call me easy-going, laid-back, care-free even. But my stress levels are through the roof because of my roommate. Everything is piling up higher and higher and my life is about to topple over.

I'm tired of being used and treated like a slave. I'm sick of taking on every responsiblity and then some. God knows I have a hard enough time with just normal every day life. I don't need double the amount of stress and anxiety just because I'm living here. Now I've developed some type of rash from anxiety and stress, which is only making my anxiety and stress even worse.

You're both right. The part on here, at least, is my fault. I apologize. I was out of line.

I've even been guilty of it in the past. In hindsight, it was inappropriate, but that's why I brought it up. I didn't put the two together at first, so I'm sure not everyone realized the issue caused by some of the posts here, with ranting / venting being helpful to deal with things, but at the same time running the risk of upsetting others in an area where the goal is to avoid upsetting people, if not help make them less upset.

Well, mother....

My sister is allowed to change, but I'm not. Is that because she's so innocent, and I've turned out to be such a gritter? What if I didn't come next weekend? I should have stayed home.

Some people say hindsight is 20/20. For me, it seems more like 20/15 or better. I completely miss some s**t "in the moment," but after the fact it is so clear that I can't believe that I missed it the first time. It makes sense, once I have a better understanding of all the input, it is easier to see where the output comes from. Not necessarily the why, but the how. Like using an equation or a program.

Why the f**k can't I get this when it matters? I only seem to get it once it is too late...


I'm slowly losing my mind. A little more each day. Strange, really didn't expect that I'd notice it. Also didn't expect it to be accompanied by moments of complete calm, where I accept the direction things are going. In one of those now. Every single day feels like a fight against myself, a fight to hold on to who I am, what I am. Every day it feels like I've lost ground. Right now, just hoping I'll be able to keep fighting, rather than just giving up.

I am sick and tired of making posts in a certain thread and then finding that no-one posts there anymore! It's like "AAAAAAAAAAHH RUN!! Cheerlessleader has made a post there! Now it's tainted and I can't make a post!" Thanks for making me feel SO accepted everyone!

See? You've all just proved my point! There aren't new posts ANYWHERE! I can't have tainted the whole of WP!
All my life if people haven't been making fun of every little thing I did they have been ignoring me, acting like I'm invisible, just acting like I don't even exist no matter WHAT I've said! Nice to know that WP is SO different to the real world!
