See, i dont mind the public places and all, its just the thought of losing a friend more than anything. This only applys (for me) if i am friends already with the girl, just not her boyfriend.

To be purely honest I have only one phobia that I can think of and that would be trying new/forgein foods, if somthing looks bad/Smells bad then its bad. Do give you an idea how bad off I am, I will give a list of some common things I don't eat.
Food Texter is scared to try: Hamburgers Cheese *unless on pizza* Salads and all other vegetables *Discluding corn,black eyed peas and peppers* Hot Dogs Toast Tacos Gravies List keeps going. To give a further indept view I will list the only things I do eat!. *wich is small* Foods that texter likes!: Pizza *Pepperoni Only!* Chicken *strips* French Fries *Fried only* Fish*Fried only* Bacon/Biscut Ramen Noodles *Chicken Mushroom flavor only* That is a complete list of things I do eat. To add to the further irony, I do not drink Milk/Orange juice and do not like choclates. ~Texter | |
Actually, the human body has a few pain blocking mechanisms built right in...
The body can release chemicals (endorphines) that numb pain sensations in times of extreme pain... It's a survival tool, I believe... For instance, if you're badly injured and feeling horrible pain, you're not likely to be able to make yourself move to get out of danger... However, if the pain becomes dulled, you can focus more on saving yourself... So, the body helps you out by numbing the pain... This reaction varies quite a bit between different people... And it seems to be heridetary to an extent... My mother has an extremely high tolerance for pain, and so do I... It's not necessarily that we can handle more pain than others, it's that our bodies are stronger at numbing pain through the above system (although, I believe I can definitely handle more pain than many people, numbed or otherwise, but that's mostly a mind-over-matter thing)... However, you're definitely right about the mind being able to control pain as well... After all, what is pain? It is a nerve impulse sent to our brains, where it is interpreted as pain... Essentially, pain really is "all in our heads"... So if you can force your mind to ignore the signals, then you can "shut off" the pain... | |

Why in the world are you clinging to some negativly viewed habit as mundane but as annoying as this, which is easy to rid yourself of? That's an interesting question, to which I don't really have an answer... I suppose the best I can do is to add that I am also extremely stubborn... Even moreso in the face of opposition... I'm one of those people who will argue a point even fiercer when the opposing side has all but annihilated it... Just on sheer spite...lol I'm not exactly proud of that fact (well, I suppose I am to an extent...lol), but that's how I am... Another factor is my incurable laziness... I rarely do anything without a good reason... And my "good reason" bar is set very high...lol I have plenty of good reasons to change this habit, but not plenty enough...lol IT IS HIGHLY ANNOYING JUST AS ANNOYING AS ALL USING CAPS Or Capitalizing The First Letter Of Every Word. It makes your sentances harder to read. Elipses are a way of emphisizing a hanging thought and you lose any emphisis when you constantly use them or there is no hanging thought at the end of the sentance. It's not a hard habit to break even if is a habit or you just do it for some kind of odd attention. I constantly screw up the ordering of you when I'm typing it fast, but I don't just leave it in as an annoying habit I fix it when I scan through my post and find those errors. I honestly am not that annoyed by people typing in all caps, or capitalizing every word... Sure, it bugs me that they're being conspicuously stupid, but it doesn't bother me that much... Of course, I usually have no problem understanding people on the 'net... Even those that type with extremely poor grammar... No punctuation, misspelled words, etc... I can pretty much always figure out what they're saying, even when others are going "huh? what the heck did you just say?" lol In fact, I often find myself "translating" for others because I seem to be the only one who does understand... (I've done it numerous times around here, but moreso on other forums I frequent) So problems like these don't matter to me... It's not much trouble for me to decypher things like this... And your example of the "yuo" typo (I assume that's what you meant) doesn't really apply... That's a mistake... Unintentional... My use of ellipses is very much intentional...lol I'm sure you're comforted by many things which make it clear you're not afraid of them, but I'm sure you don't waste your time acknoledging them everytime you pass by them. Of course not... I didn't mean to suggest that I keep using these ellipses incorrectly because it means that I'm controlling my fears...lol The worst part is that since you've been doing people have been imitating you not entirly knowing what they are imitating. They just leave some random number of trailing periods after each statment which is even worse than what you're doing. Heh, I love that part... About everywhere I go, I notice that it spreads like a disease...lol Of course, there are some places where people insist that they've been doing it since before they met me... But I know that in a lot of cases, people are picking it up directly from my example... It's an odd "I'm a trend setter" sort of feeling...lol | |
who doesn't? I doubt anyone here at byond over the age of 18 can honestly say they've never been depressed, or experienced something really bad. What's really bad? It's whatever is bad TO YOU. For instance, to me getting a bad grade on my homework doesn't mean much to me since I've experienced things to me that are worst, while to that one person who's been babied, etc and doesn't know how to deal with problems... They'd probably cry and have an excrutiating depression. I mean things vary from person to person of course, but that's what I'm getting at lol...
in the end we are always in conflict, I forget who said that if you're not finding problems in your life then you're not looking close enough at your life :) I do admit I've gone through some crazy times in my life... but I don't like to see myself as having gone through things worst then anyone else. I bet a good portion of these byonders have even considered suicide though, and I've only considered it... two or three times? What's funny is that there are 4 total siblings in my family and it seems everyone but me has a field dealing with psychology... haha :P I guess even though I've gone through so much hard stuff I doubt I'd wanna do it too much differently... because I've learned a lot from it, ya I may be screwed up emotionally a bit and mentally even but for the most part I feel I'm light years ahead of most kids my age... I can completely tell if someone is lieing to me, and I can read people pretty dang well just of body language, and I thank my past experiences for that... I had to beable to know people inside/out in order to survive back in my younger years, hard to believe that parts of the USA are still so primative as to threaten people with knives and such in school, and that a lot of indians in my old town(sisseton) never gave up on hating the white man, or maybe it was just the alcohol they brought to school in gatorade bottles (vodka anyone?), and the fact that some of them were like 4 years older then me in 8th grade. Of course my history teacher was bumped down to 8th grade teaching because he was caught sexually harrassing a young female in high school. I don't drink, do drugs, and I barely drink caffeine and that's mainly because of my past experiences I've just seen too much crap (ever seen people play bumper cars with their cars? Not pretty...) and I probably never will do any of them. Ya I know it's all about self control and will power... but there's a lot more to this decision. I'm not a person to say "I had a bad experience with this so I'm never going to do it again." I just more analyze the possibilities of things happening and such, and try to make an eduational judgement. I thought about it after awhile, and think about what else I could be thinking about when I'm thinking of my "addictions". That's a lot of wasted thought process's! I'd rather be thinking of programming a game or something :P you spend what, a year of your life waiting for a red light to turn green? Well think about how much time you spend thinking about addictions! or craving them, or doing them! on top of that, I'm in peak physical condition ( I weight about 130 pounds and lift around 200 max on bench press...) I mainly worked out because I wanted to beable to stand up for myself in any situation, have it be intelectual(working out teachs you a lot about focusing your mind, especially during painful times) or strength/body wise... So all in all I'm a better person, just... I think in some ways I'm weaker, because I sorta look at my life and sigh, then say "When the hell is it going to get better, I hope this isn't all I have to look foreward to in my life." Then I start questioning wether living my life is worth it or not, and then end up telling myself you have no clue what the future will hold, so stick it out you wuss. :P | |

First off I apologize for taking this thread so far off topic. Second I'm sorry for acting in such a hostile way SSGX. I handled the situation poorly and shouldn't have displayed my annoyance toward you with such sarcarsim or cynicism. Your habbit/style/whatever with the ellipses is highly annoying to me, and you don't appear to care or you just enjoy the fact that I do. Regardless it is well within my power not to be annoyed simply by avoiding your posts. But I should treat you with the same respect I wish to recieve regardless of whether or not you return the favor, since it's the example I'd like to set.
I worded my reply very poorly in the heat of the moment and didn't mean exactly what I was trying to get across. "Now that you've weeded out any possible redeeming values" What I meant to say was that you weeded out any reasons that I found good for doing what you do and I still can't fathom why you do it. I can't possibly know what redeeming values you have since I don't know much about you and don't really care to therefore it was way out of my bounds to make such an encompassing statment. "It definantly was wrong to think you were above the steriotype your name alludes you to being in. I'll make sure not to make that mistake in the future." This statement was said purely out of the aggrivation at the moment and I take it back and am sorry for venting my anger in such a way. To avoid further hostilities I will be ignoring your posts and anyone that finds it "cute" to mimick you. This is not out of disrespect on my part it's just a precaution so I'm not pushed over the edge again and make such a scene. [Edit] Whoops I intended to reply to my message not edit it :P. | |
I don't have any phobias that I'm aware of.... I'm the only one who'll walk around the house at night with the electricity out (I guess I'm afraid of stepping on something, the place is a mess). I don't fear spiders because when and if I catch one, I rip off its legs and burn it. I don't fear storms, I actually like to stand outside in one if it's not raining too hard. I don't fear social situations, I just don't want to socialize. I'm not afraid of heights, I climb up on my roof a lot just to be there, lol... I don't fear small spaces, dunno why, I just don't.

Wow, my respect for you as a person just dropped to zero, but I guess to someone like you it doesn't matter. If someone is poking you in the back with a stick constantly and won't be reasoned with what do you do? I'd tend to just avoid them which is exactly the case here. I don't really care too much about respect here as most people don't even seem to know what it means, though I'll still be respectful of others until they prove they're just being malicious. If SSGX were respectful he'd take into consideration that what he's doing is in fact annoying(it's not just me either!) and stop. This is just what considerate human beings do. He didn't give me any respect so why should I do the same for him? And if you've read many of my posts I generally don't attack people so this should clue you off that what he does really irks me. | |
Papaphobia- Fear of the Pope.
Paraskavedekatriaphobia- Fear of Friday the 13th. Phalacrophobia- Fear of becoming bald. Proctophobia- Fear of rectums. Pogonophobia- Fear of beards. Rhytiphobia- Fear of getting wrinkles. Zemmiphobia- Fear of the great mole rat. | |
Paraskavedekatriaphobia- Fear of Friday the 13th. The worst part about this one is the fact that you can describe the word in less space than it takes up :P. | |
Funny story:
I read your original post, and decided to put off replying to it until I had checked the rest of the forums (save "important" business for last and all) So, I just came back to it, clicked "Reply With Quote" and noticed that it had JUST been edited... Nice timing...lol Of course, this post itself is now a moot point, since you most likely won't read it...lol However, I'd like to apologize in return... I know the way that I worded my previous post makes it sound like I'm maliciously abusing my punctuation with the sole reason of annoying others (and heck, it does certainly seem that that is the case), but I'd like to clarify that that is not my intent... I'm doing what I'm doing for no reason other than I want to do it... Plain and simple... I have no real motive, I just wish to type this way... What I meant was that people trying to make me stop only strengthens my resolve to continue... I'm not trying to push people into confronting me about it (and I definitely don't enjoy getting such negative reactions, contrary to how it may seem), but when someone does, it serves no purpose other than making me want to keep doing it... Yes, that is rather childish, and disrespectful (especially when seen in the light of the "poking with a stick" analogy"...lol) and for that I apologize... But at the same time, I'm not sorry enough to change it...lol And there's no need to explain the "no redeeming values" statement... Or to apologize for it... I understood what you meant, and I even agree with you... This little habit really doesn't serve any valuable purpose (well, I can name a few, but they're rather contrived and relatively meaningless)... There must be some reason for me to be doing it (or else I wouldn't), but that reason can't be very good... I'll freely admit that... And for what it's worth, I'm also very sorry that I've annoyed you to that point... I myself don't see that the problem is great enough to cause such a strong reaction, so I can't see it from your point of view (which is shared by others, of course...but I still don't see the big deal), but I honestly am sorry that it's come to this... Oh well, life goes on, water under the bridge, and all that... It's been nice discussing with you up until now, but I suppose we'll be having nothing but one-sided conversations from now on...lol | |

Just like really decent theme park rides. The 45 minute queue increases you "This could be interesting" to "Sh**e, I cannot believe I am going to do this!!!". But when you finally ride it you think "Hmm, this is f***ing fun, but I don't see how it's scary!".
~Ease~ P.s. The new Nemesis Inferno RULES, it is unbelievably smooth, and although it only goes upside down 4 times and isn't that scary it is so fun. You go through a smoke chamber at the beginning which rules, it's just class. | |
Matter of fact I sleep with a lamp on in my room 24-7, and my black light hasn't been turned off for 2 years!
