What Is Wrong With Me?!

[Knightsaber Priss]

Er...k.

You've got no idea what 'influences' I've had in my life-- because I don't whine about them on a superhero message board. Crying about your 'vulnerabilities' doesn't take guts- picking up and living your damn life despite whatever 'influences' you think have the power to 'hold you back' does.

Well, since I am a woman I think I am entitled to being vulnerable. Not everybody can be an Alpha Female. Some of us happen to want to feel safe, secure and protected by a man. Not everybody can be the typical definition of a "liberated" woman. Just because I don't gravitate towards frilly things doesn't mean I'm not a caring, compassionate, loving person. If anything this...vulnerability....has caused me to be a less selfish more nurturing individual.

Yea but it's not as easy as that for every one.

And i don't think she was whining per se, just saying whats on here mind. Theres nothing wrong with that.

Because you're on the Hype!

All girls on the Hype are either males, hermaphrodites, lesbians, deranged, or DBella and AndThePickles.

I don't know which you are, but I was just giving it a guess... hence the "you might be a lesbian" part.

Being a woman doesn't 'entitle' you to anything. You have to earn anything and everything. I have no idea what you're babbling on about men and alpha females and 'liberated women'...? If you're convinced all this junk you've been talking about has been positive in your life, why are you even bringing it up? Want a cookie? Want all the people on the board to tell you how you're really awesome because you don't like frilly things and you seem cool and let's hug and be best friends?

My original point was- no vulnerability or situation in a person's life is an excuse to 'be held back.' Or to whine.

Yea but it's not as easy as that for every one.

I never said it was easy...? People always assume that if a person doesn't cry and talk about how hard something was, then it was easy. 'Easy' and 'attainable' are two entirely different things.

There is something wrong with starting a thread asking what's 'wrong' with oneself and obviously just fishing for people to feed her sugar coated ********.

Well yea I agree with that, I hate it when people do that.

But when I looked at the original post I got the feeling it was slightly tongue in cheek.

Smells like self conscious desperation to me.

No, it's actually not tongue in cheek. It's just that lately I've been questioning whether or not people consider me the least bit desirable to be in the company of because I'm getting mixed signals from everybody in my circle. It's quite frustrating for me and I don't expect everybody to understand me because it's not like you guys know me in a real life sense.

Smells like self conscious desperation to me.

Exactly. I am desperate because no one's given me a reason to believe in myself.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

You don't need to wait for someone to give you a reason to believe in youself. Only you can do that. You seem like a nice person, as long as you believe you're not a horrible person you shouldn't have to worry about what other people think.

I don't particulary care what other people think of me, if some one makes it clear that they have a problem with me, fair enough. If I feel it's a good reason i'll try to improve my self. If i think it isn't a good reason then, well, they can piss off basically. And if they don't piss off then they'll get a slap. I'm not saying thats the right thing to do, but not every one has to do the right thing all the time. Humans make mistakes, thats just the way it is.

Don't worry about it so much. If you was a truly horrible person, people would tell you to your face.

 

[Logan's Runt]

Where the hell did people get the idea that things are supposed to be given to them? Christ. 'Nobody gave me a reason to believe in myself' 'nobody gave me a chance' 'nobody gave me the opportunities you had'. Ugh.

You're using that **** as excuse not to do what it takes to have what you want.

 

[Badger]

In short, dude, sack the **** up.

 

[tzarinna]

You need to go on walk about.

I'm sensing you haven't had any true life experiences. If I'm wrong let me know. If I'm right then you need to get out there and live it up.

 

[AndThePickles]

A heap of women don't like all of those stereotypical things The only thing that could possibly be wrong is if you hated being a woman or something.

I'm gonna have to agree with all of this. Mainly because I saw her post in JAL's perfect girlfriend Christmas present thread something similar about not liking stereotypical girly things and having other posters give her kudos. Or is this supposed to be a thread to spark hatred against girly girls?

I'll be honest godzilla, you don't sound happy with yourself, so it sounds like you're looking for reassurance. Like what you like and don't worry about what others think of it.

 

[jaguarr]

Be yourself. Love yourself for who you are. Recognize your strengths. Know that you have value. Any questions?

I only hate being a woman once a month, then I'd like to sell my uterus to the highest bidder.

Wow. You pretty much set back women about fifty years with that post.

Go cook some turkey and mop the floor.

We all have something weird about us. I like the Golden Girls.

Last year (for like a couple of months) there wasn't a day that past when I didn't catch an episode. Without noticing, I gradually watched it less and less. I decided it was just a phase...for me at least

 

[SoulManX]

Yes, I love ABBA music as well. It's kind of weird because of my personality. But spin some ABBA and I'm dancing (Very badly.) along with the music. It's just that I can't get into that musical Mama Mia! at all.



Trust me, I'm not going to make myself out to be 100% without flaws. I think I listed a lot of my less than stellar personality traits, such as my shyness and my feisty stubborn nature. But realistically, no one is ever going to be perfect like something out of a 50's Family Sitcom. People are people regardless of their gender and we are prone to our emotions.



You know, I get this an awful lot from a lot of newbies who assume because of my spunky nature I am a guy and yes my user name does disguise my gender. But here's a fairly recent picture of me if you want to know.

Oh no! To most girls this might seem like a good thing, but for me it's a little scary. I mean if this were a real life situation, I'd be sort of scared of choosing because no matter who I'm with there will be a path of broken hearts left in our wake. And being the compassionate soul I am I'd feel just a tad bit guilty of causing such pain.



I don't really know about that anymore. I think someone has found me instead (I do work at a public place where I see a lot of people come and go.) but I'm not 100% certain yet until I can place a name and a face. That's how secret crushes go.

Tis a shame your not in North Carolina

I have been contemplating this for a very long time, and I've come to the conclusion there's definitely something wrong with me, but I have no idea what it is. You see, I just never could get into anything people labeled as strictly aimed at "the female demographic" whatever that means. I don't watch anything on the Lifetime Network. Movies/TV Shows like Sex and the City, Twilight, Mamma Mia!, or any chick related media medium makes me want to vomit. And whenever I go into the mall I get really bored really fast browsing in clothing stores unless I know what I want and where to get it. I also just hate styles of clothing that are "feminine", especially things that are splashed in the color pink. I tend to like a more "rock star" type look, or I'll wear sarcastic T-shirts with those Happy Bunny phrases on them. At the mall I'd rather spend my time actually having real fun at the arcade. But seriously, is there something wrong with me because I despise all things that have been labeled as "feminine"?

Well, lets go down that list...
Lifetime, for the most part, plays complete s*** movies and Tv shows.
Sex and the City, I presume, is about a group of money-grubbing prostitutes and their mom. No real appeal to that...
Twilight is actually okay, but I truly dislike its fan-base, so I cant hold that against you.
Mamma Mia is horrible. ABBA is horrible. It's all just terrible.
Malls consist mainly of clothing stores, which are incredibly boring places.

So, basically if all of those are in fact the "female demographic", then I cant really blame you for not being into it. Theres nothing wrong with not being into it.
