I'm tired of being ugly and undateable (not a word, don't really care). I'm tired people (male and female) rubbing it in my face about their "dates" or hookups. I'm tired of being slow and stupid, and not knowing how to have a conversation and keep people interested.

I'm tired of being an uneducated, mentally ill bum that no one respects or views as their equal.

I'm tired of not having the skills and wherewithal to take care of myself, (can't drive, doesn't bathe and change clothes regularly) so I'm probably going to have to live off SSI and welfare for the rest of my life.

I'm tired of not having any friends and having both genders (mostly females) repulsed by me. I'm tired of not being normal. I'm so f*****g sick and tired of feeling lonely, bitter, depressed, and suicidal all the time.

Man I just I feel like taking a sledge hammer or an axe, and tearing through one of the walls inside my room.

What's so maddening and frustrating is that I can't change any of this crap. I'm basically stuck this way until I'm dead, or at the rate I'm going, commit suicide.

Well, I've given you advice numerous times.

Anyway, my last advice is. What can you change? What is in your power to change? If you can find something, anything in your power that you can change to be the way you want, do it, regardless of how trivial it seems. For me anyway, I can't solve my various social issues and general "weirdness" very easily, so instead of trying super hard to fix an almost unfixable problem, I instead put forth my effort into working out, which then raised my self image. You have to figure out what you have the power to change, even if it's trivial, and change it.

Really though, the fact you're in a "black" neighborhood pretty much is 90% of your problem. If you can find like, an anime club or something at a college in your area, you'd probably make some friends there. Bathing would help, but there's other people in anime clubs that don't bathe. Bathing is always a plus, though, hint hint.

But yeah, change what you can, and don't concentrate on what you can't. To an extent, though, some people are more driven than others. Helen Keller would be an example, she obviously had it much harder than any of us on this messageboard, and she managed to defeat her problems.

I'm a terrible motivational speaker, huh?

I don't think I'd do well around college people. They expect you to be intelligent and educated, both things I'm not. They also expect you to appear and act halfway normal, have a bunch a friend, and hook up a lot, (which is all that goes on in college apparently) needless to say none of those thing apply to me.

Also, I don't think there are any clubs for that stuff around here, at least not near where I live.

MR20 is a regular around here.
He made a post with his picture about his situation:his history/family issues/where he lived... and a few members suggested he tried to move to a healthier enviroment(he apparently lives in some sort of ghetto),having said that there are better ways to word that and 1000knives could have been a little more careful with his wording.

As for OP´s situation try to see what you can do to improve things.
Several members offered you advice in the past on how to slowly work through some of your issues, try to reconsider their advices. Try to find an activity you enjoy and join a free group about it,try to work on how you think others perceive you(thinking everyone out there hates you isnt going to help you in any way whatsoever and it makes things worse)...

I find it interesting that you talk bad about your education but your posts are usually quite eloquent. (Ok, this thread might not be the best example), but you present yourself in writing much better than you think.

i was like you once

I used to think life was so bad. I would just sit around in my room on the computer all day, doing nothing, getting no where. I'd convince myself I'm stupid, that i'm mentally ill and such.

Eventually I learned life isn't going to just come to me one day. No one's gonna feel sorry for me, date me or give me a huge sum of cash to get my life going somewhere.

So you know what I did?

I got off the computer. I found the motivation to go out and meet people and make friends. I got a job, and I stopped posting long rants on the internet hoping my life would someday just magically get better.

And, while I still feel as though there's more to my life I'd like to improve, I set a foundation for myself. I have a good job, car, I can support myself and I can continue to find the motivation to improve my life in other various aspects.

But I sure as hell didn't do it posting rants on message boards. I don't mean to sound harsh, I apologize if I do, but you need to learn life isn't going to come to you. If you're ugly, change your appearence. If you think you're fat, go running. If you're a bum, apply for jobs. If you're uneducated, buy some books. If you're lonely.. well, all 4 of the those you can accidentally bump into someone you can hold a conversation with. Sitting in your room at home won't change anything.

Nothing wrong with it per say but he stated that he felt that he couldnt relate to any of the other residents there and that made him feel even more isolated.
So members suggested he made an attempt to move to a place where he felt he belonged a little more

I can't change the way my face looks. I can't get a job because I don't have an education, and I have anxiety issue where I can't concentrate and function properly around crowds of people.

BTW, books about what? I can't comprehend most of that intelligent stuff (like politics, philosophy, science, history, literature, math, etc) and I don't have much interest in it.

I can't drive and I can barley take of myself while still living at home, imagine how things would be living on my own.

You have a higher functioning level than me, that's probably why you were able to do those things, while I couldn't

We all function at different levels, stop comparing our situations and projecting yourself on to me.

edit: BTW, "ranting on message boards" as you call it helps me blow off some frustration and steam. I'm going keep doing it regardless of what anyone says about it.

Yeah sadly I can't afford anything better than this, as no one in my house is working. We survive month to month off Social Security and disability payments.

Yeah, sadly, you always seems to come up with an excuse as to why the advice other people give could never, ever possibly work for one so miserable and underprivileged as you.

It seems that you have only three options from which to choose:

1. Accept the advice you've been given, follow it, and make a better life for yourself.

2. Accept the situation that you are in, and learn to be happy with what you already have.

3. Continue complaining about how much it sucks to be you while down-playing or ignoring any useful advice you may receive.
