I humbly suggest that the next time you make a statement and want to be taken seriously that you not conclude your remarks with "Go figure. I'll go cry myself a river or something."

If your forum posts are any indication of your ftf communication style then it's no wonder you're having trouble interacting with people.

There are some people on this forum who are actually trying to help you, but you can't see that because you filter everything through your negative lens that says everyone is just being mean, and none of it is in response to your attitude. Trust me, I know of which I speak, when I was young I was a cynical, self-absorbed little punk who never took any responsibility for other people's reactions to my poor demeanor.

You seem like a basically nice guy, but you're so focused on defending your righteousness that there's no room to even consider that you in fact have immense power to shape your interactions with people - for better or worse.

By remaining locked into your current mindset you're only really hurting yourself. And I hope you take my remarks in the spirit in which they are intended - but whether you do or not ultimately won't matter to me.
