Confession is good for the Hype. - - - Part 12

[Anubis]

I'm gonna buy a guitar and teach myself how to play.

 

[Warhammer]

I played piano today for the first time in months and months...and months. I'm definitely out of practice. But hey, nobody has to know since I was doing it at home and had the volume on the keyboard low.

Even really successful people fail. They just do it in private so nobody sees, or if they do do it in public, they get up and try again. You only fail permanently if you quit.

And that's the truth.

Just what I needed to hear.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I confess that my lack of confidence has been my downfall since I've was 18 years old. I was aimless with no aspirations. Now that I finally have a few avenues of interest, my doubts are shutting me down. I have to want it and at least try. Potential failure, while it sucks, is better than regret of not trying.

That sounds so damn corny.

Therapy sounds corny, no worries about it

I share the same trouble, working over it

 

[Teelie]

Don't worry, you'll fail. You'll fail all the time, in fact.

The thing is to make them small failures - really tiny failures that no one else will notice but you can learn from. Don't forget, you can fail in private too and only show your stuff publicly when you're ready.

The only way to learn IS to fail.

And sometimes people fail into success, so there's that upside.

Somebody on these boards tried to log into my account. I was locked out for like two hours. I guess I feel a little popular.

May not be someone here but still trying to gain access. With all the data breaches that go on someone might be trying their luck at a duplicate password from another site with the same username.

I get "forgotten password" notifications from Facebook all the time of people trying to log into my account either mistakenly or intentionally.

Maybe so. I get the Facebook lockouts once in a blue moon.

I too was locked out.

And we both post in the NFL thread. Hmmmm...

[Erzengel]

Don't worry about being that guy because I should have explained it. I guess I wasnt thinking all that well when I posted it, it hadn't been 5 minutes I don't think.

But it wouldn't go away, we chased it out of our yard 3-4 times, it alway came back and drove the dog up the wall. Killing it was the only real option that wouldn't have us chasing it off every 3 minutes. I didn't do it in a fit of rage or just for the sake of killing it. And it bothered me a lot to watch this thing die, I thought the second blow to the neck and the blow to the head would put it out of its misery quicker. It was hard and shocking for me. I guess I posted the confession in some weird attempt to find someone on the Hype who goes hunting or something who's seen the light in a living things eyes dim as they die. Someone I might be able to talk to about it.

And to be honest, after the fact, I was hesitant, maybe even scared enough this is the first time Ive been back in this thread, unsure how this would be replied too. So for everyone who read it and despite what their thoughts were didn't say anything that made me feel worse than I have since I did it or make me regret posting the.

Oh you know calling animal control.

Me too

I don't head there, why me?

I'm changing my password

 

[Warhammer]

That's weird. We're popular, guys. Somebody somewhere in the world wanted to gain access to your account. Feel proud.

 

[bullets]

I had the same issue yesterday. I couldn't log in on the computer and had to use my phone.

 

[Teelie]

That might just be a random glitch if several people ran into the same problem at the same time.

 

[Teelie]

Turns out it was nothing more than a server hiccup. No one's trying to hack anyone.

 

[Warhammer]

Damn it. My self-esteem has been further stomped on.

 

[E-Man]

Damn it. My self-esteem has been further stomped on.

You should worry about more than your self esteem...

Dude, that was all 4 years of college for me.

You learn that life's not a contest.

that's not what happened, so don't worry.
there's a thread about it in tech support

 

[Erzengel]

Why do Americans keep trying to do an Americanized version of Love Actually? You can't. Still with your awful Nicholas Sparks movies.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I don't care about stories greatly focusing on romance

what movie are you referring to?

 

[Anubis]

Valentines Day, New years day, New York I love you(which is really more of an American version of Paris Je t'aime), etc.

 

[enterthemadness]

The hotel scene in Before Midnight sure is hard to watch...

Think I like Before Sunset the most in the series...
