Taera, I had very similar experiences in high school (it seems like many of us did). Now that I'm more than twenty years removed from them, I have a sense of perspective about them, but (surprise) they still hurt. I wouldn't go through those years again if you paid me. So, if it's any help, you're not alone in your experiences.

[shiver]. Same here, although in my case it was almost entirely verbal abuse. But yes, the memories still hurt, twenty years later.

Hmmm... maybe I should rename a couple of neutral races, scan in some images from my old yearbooks and start a Genocide Game...

[Taera]

it is very funny how my thinking differs from time to time - better say mood to mood - i guess thats what they all talk about when saying 'teenagers'

yes, obviously this thread helped me.

(notice - the following post is made in one of my good moods. it also has a big load of me talking about myself which is very uncommon )

minipol, your impression is correct. i had a fine social life in Israel but i didnt take the right path ehre and there.. and it had built over a long time and a lot of suffering in school. bad times i dont like to think about

for my situation now it seems i've been pretty lucky - untill grade 8 i have almost never been beaten lol (only by big Groups) and then i abandoned all violence from my side because i didnt like it. at all. and i managed to live since then without a single quarrel with people.

and i took to great pains to remove my naturally
high shyness -- and surprisingly for the Last year-and-half ive been very successful. i taught myself not to be shy with girls and been successful so thats not an issue. what is is my lack of experience in beyond-friendship boy-girl relationships but hey, im only recently turned 17 and will have chances to learn, i guess.

just sometimes i feel very bored and very lonely on those evening lol because theres nothing for me to do *sigh* ohwell.

Thanks for the advice regarding karate and stuff. frankly as i said ive been avoiding fights and now dont have any knowledge there should i get into trouble (and my demeanor sometimes takes me to risks lol but ive been lucky till now) and i've always been interested in martial arts... just never took any.

ahh crap thats a lot of positive talking aint it
that girl... i wont talk about that much... but i usually talk to her every day -- that is, via MSN. she's a rare kind of computer-literate girl
we'll see where it goes. for now, i have a good mood

EDIT: minipol, thought over what you said (possible fast-forgettable crush) and thought i'd add - what you said, i've considered the option too, doesnt seem so.

Hell yes I do!

Taera, you should try these just for the language work. With a Russian accent you might even have an edge to play that I never would.

I am very proud of my name tag collection. The best is from Lisa in Disneyland; that one took flirting to get. Most actually come pretty easy, or just don't come at all. The rejection is part of the learning experience.

My friends often hand me the phone, should I be at their house when they get a solicitation call. They all love it when I do strange things to strangers, and the person on the other end of the phone usually can't do anything. As soon as all their employers start letting them hang up it will be much more difficult to play this game. I once brought a stop to all other conversation and activity, including corner-necking, at a party with my show-stopping horrid performance of "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond; I don't know all the words (mumble bumble) and make noises for the fanfare (BA Ba ba). It was my finest moment that month.

I originally got the idea for "Get a Job" from "American Beauty". I didn't really want the no-stress McDonalds job, but I decided to see what the interview would be like: what fun! Try it!

There is another good game for learning human behavior and social signals, but it's kind of dangerous: Poker. That'll teach you a few things. Just never play with fools or sharks, never bring money you can't lose, and if you go to a casino never ever play at the table with the local retirees.

The most important game is "Make the Stranger Talk". That's the game that started it all and the one that make it possible for me to talk to strangers today. It has also forged interesting and unexpected bonds with some usfull people. Some...

loser, i can see how good those games are but thats not me its not my personality-style jokes/games yet still thanks for the advice.

[Loser]

You are quite welcome.

Looking over what I've written, I guess it wouldn't work for anyone who doesn't play the part of the clown....
Oh well.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

forgive the people you hate...hate over even short periods of time does way more damage to you than to them. i'm doing that, and i'm alot happier.
besides, if your so annoyed all the time that you occasionally growl at annoying people, that's not good. if i went out more, i might have introduced some suriealty into some peoples lives.

1 hated person (completely mutual and complete personalities conflict. one thing i dont regret leaving in Israel) since four years ago. i learned that lesson, thanks.
