Question:
<gently snipped ::I am beginning to understand how a ‘companion trained’ dog ::is useful. This dog shows many of the traits of a ‘companion trained’ dog. ::If I sit and zone off, he comes and nudges me. At last, I am back to work. :::I work at home with no one else to help during the school day. I am now in :::heaven. Dear Vandy, I’m so happy for you and for all the dogs you’ve saved, especially the two you kept. Animals are awesome creatures and really add so much to our lives. Most of my cats are strays I’ve taken in over the years. I can’t imagine my life without animals. Wishing you much happiness with your new furbabies.

Question:
It is amazing how things turn out — the people of this ng are wonderful. Thank you for all your help and feedback. I’ve saved your responses to reply to later. I have been thinking of loneliness – and how it applies when one is suddenly *not* lonely. I have had the fortune to meet people here and really enjoy the correspondence. As a result, my mood has perked up, and oddly has perked up my social life a bit. In the past week, 4 of the days have been with friends — I am just totally not used to not being alone. I would attribute this to the good people here, I have genuinely felt *less* depressed – not depressed at all, actually. This is the first time in many months that I have had such close interaction with anyone. Perhaps this is showing in my mood irl. Two female friends that I have just resumed getting to know have complimented me on my personality. This is truly a first, and perhaps I am radiating happiness for the first time.. I don’t know what it is. I don’t really know what to do — I am so un-used to not having tons of free time to mope and beat myself down… I just want to thank you all for your support.

It’s true – a mode of thinking I haven’t much practice with yet but it helps when you are around people you like and trust. I have been helped somewhat by getting out of the house a bit more and making some concrete plans for each day. — nonessential

Question:
I’m asking because I am happy at the moment. Everything is cool. Work is better, I feel very happy and content. Last week I went out with my female friend to see War of the Worlds. I had such a great time. I felt so comfortable and relaxed. I feel there is nothing to stop me going out with a real girlfriend and having a good time. Yet I come on here. The thing is I can’t go 2 or 3 days without coming on here and having a quick read. The question is : Should I (or any other happy person) still read this newsgroup ?

I find the negativity of certain posters to be especially draining at times (and sometimes I have to abstain from reading their posts* or stay away for a while, so while I don’t believe one "shouldn’t" come back here, it might be beneficial for you to stay away at times. *While any attacks on my character or whatever have no effect on my self image etc., I can become very dejected when I notice how lost some people here are. – Michaela

I don’t see any problem with it, as long as coming here doesn’t rob you of that happiness.

Reading this group tends to get me down, unless I’m already down, in which case it doesn’t have much effect; the reason being that as long as I’m able to ignore my loneliness and lack of a girlfriend, I’m able to lead a relatively bearable (I won’t say happy) life. But as soon as I start dwelling on the utterly miserable state of my social life, my happiness takes a steep plunge. Example – yesterday I was driving home in relatively high spirits, when I heard those two guys in the radio making fun of guys who never get dates. Boom. My buyoant mood totally collapsed, and remained low for the entire evening. Others’ mileage may vary.

One day I began to notice how I’d be in a really good/bad mood and big/small things seemed to just pass me by, but maybe suddenly a really small/big stupid/insignificant/mammoth event would become the centre of my attention and I’d give it the power to hi-jack my mood. And then I knew that there was something else going on. Isn’t it perhaps better to keep my power and make my own decisions on how I’m going to react/respond? Choice. – Michaela

We resentful folk take it one day at a time. As long as our bitterness can be temporarily sated by one example of justice — we’re happy.

Sorry, I’m not a relativist about happiness. It doesn’t do jackshit for me to think about poor Iraqis (just like it doesn’t do jackshit for poor Iraqis to think about poor Sudanese). > resentment over what?

That seems to be the story of most of our lives. Seems to me it’s often the result of looking for happiness outside of ourselves. ’soon as we get it, we shift the goalposts.

Did you start the relating by giving her tons of attention all the time? Then it would seem ""normal"" that as you give les, she feels it as a loss of interest… Mayb a next time insist to keep some space for yourself, inner as well as surroundings… so it can grow closer in time, rather than the other feeling as if you lose interest inthem whne you go burn frying pans and set the flat on fire…?;-) Humph.

So, that’s what it’s called? I think that is a good name. It rhymes too – bonus! >> Or, more flakey than it already was, as the case may be. Humph.

Well, not really. Distance has kept the quantity of seeing each other pretty constant. I think I’ve been pretty constant in my attentiveness (or lack of it!) – I think (well, I know) it’s more a case of her making judgements on past experience, rather than present experience. But I’ve never tried to make her think she’s getting something I’m not. > Mayb a next time insist to keep some space for yourself, inner as well as > surroundings… so it can grow closer in time, rather than the other > feeling as if you lose interest inthem whne you go burn frying pans and > set the flat on fire…?;-)
Well, I have all week for that – or at least, the evenings. Our weekends are pretty intensive though. Trouble is, if I start saying I need time then – that really will look like rejection, since it’s our only time together! > Humph.

No no no.

I want : to be with her, I want to make this work, but it seems she interprets my : every little inattention as rejection. Humph. Why bother? If she wants to angst and look for things that aren’t there, don’t waste your time. There are millions of women in the world, this is just one, and one that is looking for reasons to find fault with you. That isn’t a good sign – want to know why? Because a woman that wants you will over-look pretty much every fault you can imagine… Married? Not a problem. Kids? Not a problem. Jerk? No problem, she’ll convince herself she can change you. The thing is that in those cases it’s usually because she doesn’t think she can have him. In this case, it’s pretty obvious you’re hers at her whim, so she isn’t interested. If there is any hope, the best thing to do is to stop seeing her – go out with other women. Enjoy life. If there is any hope she’ll come running – if not, don’t waste your time. Of course, I don’t expect you to believe any of that, or even listen but one day perhaps you’ll understand… : Funny thing is, this : lovely woman I’m seeing, she’s chased all the loneliness away. *sigh* You are looking for a woman to fix the faults that lie within. You are fixing your happiness on her being there. A lot of guys make that mistake and usually end up singing the "whoa is me" song. You should concentrate on being happy and having fun, and a funny thing will happen – people will want to be part of your circle of influence because you’re fun to be around. Don’t look to others to "chase the loneliness away" – look within, that is the only true solution… —-== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com – Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==—- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! >100,000 Newsgroups —= East/West-Coast Server Farms – Total Privacy via Encryption =—

Falzie, for intelligence’s sake…… Don’t lower yourself to that! Hitler suffered from a venerial disease he contracted through sleeping around without taking precautions, proving stupid already. He contracted syphillis, known to give way to insanity if left untreated. He left it untreated and got completely insane. As he saw his weewee fall to pieces, he blamed his mommy for it, the jews, the boogie man, and the big bad insects he shouted were after him on the screen of his dementia and hallucinations: he had more and more of those, until he lived under constant hallucinations as he aged, where his staff tried all they could to hide his psychotic, mad, insane episodes. What could you possibly have in common with insanity?? With any STD you’d have caught sleeping around unprotected like a moron? Yes, condoms existed then too, btw. You are an intelligent virgin man, not an idiotic male slut. You have a working mind, right? Then remain smart. Don’t fall for that cheap type of desperate teen provocation that only the insane could find admirable or even valuable. You got way too much intelligence to lower yourself to such easy cheap delirious wacko stuff. C —

You know, the funny thing is — he was an artist! He really, really thought of himself as an artist. He was persuasive because he had that artistic sensibility…no philosopher or policy wonk ever persuaded the masses…he often compared the masses to women…. It’s really fascinating that David Bowie referred to Hitler as the world’s first rock star. > The power of suggestion. So good can perhaps come from > his bad. I think you imply this below too… not certain. ?
Well, I suppose "good" could be made out of anything, provided the creator is imaginative enough, has the resources, etc. (lemonade out of lemons…), but I didn’t mean that the Jewish Lobby in America is a good thing, despite it being one of Hitler’s lasting legacies, however unintentional — I mean, you can be against any goddamned thing in American politics, but it’s political suicide to utter one disparging word about Israel, no matter what the party. It’s ironic, since at the time Hitler was railing about Jewish control, anti-Semitism was not a social taboo. He made it one — so much so that even criticism is easily made out to be anti-Semitism. > Wait. AH stood up for what he believed in up til the end? > Didn’t he kill himself? I dunno.

Oh, no — he so believed in a cataclysmic race war that when it was clear that Germany was losing, he personally ordered the country’s destruction as one obviously unworthy, through a sort of divine trial by combat, of inheriting the earth, leading the world, being the Master Race and so forth. He actually ordered a kind of Ragnarok (Norse Armageddon, one might say) given the way things turned out. So he was quite consistent. He really felt that only "the strong" deserved life. Since Germans have shown themselves weak, they deserved death. Of course, his own suicide had as much to do with fears of humiliation (the example of Mussolini’s end was heavy on his long-fevered mind) as with ideology, though it wasn’t simple "cowardice" that lead to his suicide. He simply saw no "point" to living any further. Remember, this is a guy who volunteered for the infantry, and volunteered for the dangerous job of running the mail around the trenches, who had dental work performed without anesthesia…I don’t think it was simple cowardice as such, no. > Stop splitting pears. (Just kidding, actually I have no > idea what you two were talking about here.)
Well, he was going on about Hitler and I was just making the point that results are what counts, whatever the guy says — and empowering "world Jewry" in the "moral superiority department" is poetic justice for his legacy. > Define "sane."
Well, as much as one perceives reality as it is, and not as one needs/wishes it to be, one is sane. Mental health has gradations like physical health. Most of us could/should be healthier, but that doesn’t mean we’re sick because we’re not at an optimal level of well-being. > I quite like the beetle.

I don’t think he was a "good" man at all, though he was an interesting character, in a very dark way.

As a result of his lunacy, you can’t say one damned thing about Jews or the State of Israel of the Jewish Lobby here in America, etc. > Most of all, he stood up > for what he believed in and saw it through until the end.

Hitler was a good man and he did some great things. Most of all, he stood up for what he believed in and saw it through until the end. That’s what matters. Yes he got sick and did some questionable things (notice how historians don’t bring this up, they prefer to think it was his plan from the start) but nevertheless he did plenty of good as well. Every hooknosed Jew ought to be gassed (and arabs along with them). Unfortunately the end results (ie. the power Jews now have and the state of Israel) weren’t so good but you can’t blame him for that. SIEG HEIL!

If you really want to do something, take the steps that will get you there. Another example… I was into home computers way back in 1981 – I looked over the magazines not able to decide what I wanted. Ended up buying an Atari 800 in London – about a year later, I started my first drawing on the computer, then did some others. I eventually got into designing game graphics for a friend’s computer game – he was a keen arcade games player (Home computer version only). He wanted to program his own games – found out that BASIC was way too slow, and slowly he learnt assembly language programming – from a book. About his third program, was a complete game, called "Laser Hawk" – which took about a year, part time to complete. I designed the graphics for him, in 1986 it was published in England and got limited sales there. We planned our next game, it eventually took 3 years to complete, as it was a massive game with an involved game design, called "HawkQuest" – being 360k of data. (Programs were around 32k to 48k back then) http://members.tripod.com/~hawkquest I never thought I would get around to working on a computer videogame, as I’ve always only played them. I didn’t think my friend would get around to writing his own computer game, as he didn’t know machine code – when you’ve seen his first two efforts at programming, you wouldn’t have been impressed at all. His 3rd effort led to a full game, incorporating what he learnt through his early efforts. So it seems to me now, how strange it was, that events did fall into place that enabled the completion of Laser Hawk and HawkQuest – lots of coincidences and contact with various people, etc which all HELPED to get those projects/games done. So given time (and effort, etc) anything is possible. Harvey

Gott im Himmel! Wie sagt man "LOL" auf Deustch?? Actually, it’s quite interesting that you bring up Hitler in ASL…talk about lonely! That’s what happens when folks get real lonely and wrapped up in themselves. Amazing how many lonely people went along with him, eh? Because they didn’t know what to do with their existential angst, they sought to lose themselves in something greater than themselves. It’s a sort of reverse cannabalism.

As Nietzsche remarked, what if this life is the only life you’ll ever have? What if this is *it*? In that same vein, what if it gets worse? Is life inherently good, does it have intrinsic value, or is it something which we’ll "tolerate" only as long as we have fun, get enough "hits" out of it like some drug addict? Have you read Viktor Frankl’s "Man’s Searching for Meaning" yet? He was a psychotherapist who spent years in a Nazi death camp. It’s interesting to "compare notes" with someone like him, and I recommend you read that book. > Yes, it is. I remember my elementary school years when It was easy for > me to make friends.

Well, IIRC, your country can be as little as eight miles wide at its narrowest, right? You obviously don’t live in a city — but what’s preventing you from bicycling? Though I know those narrow country roads can be dangerous, too (same goes for suburban roads). Look, in your case you also have the issue of being a transplant at the delicate adolescent years…don’t discount the impact of that fact — in other words, much of your "problem" (more to the point, your perception of a problem) may relate to the usual adolescent angst that everyone goes through, but which some, like the popular kids, can easily brush aside and therefore doesn’t appear on their radar screens so often. > We used to hang out at the mall > and the streets every other day and just enjoy ourselves.

Well, you’re surely homesick, too. You know, maybe your situation is also a bit like a guy or gal who dates but cant’ help comparing everyone to their ex, who was the big crush of their lives. Know what I mean? There may also be the matter of your own expectations, as much as anything else. Don’t forget that Israeli society is rather more "cohesive" than here in the States. I remember reading — and I’ve no reason to doubt these first-hand accounts — that Israeli society is a lot more "structured" than ours, given the political situation there. You guys have a founding myth, whereas our founding myths have been under much attack (they still stand, but not with so much dignity as before)…I think y’all may have more of a sense of a common destiny there, a common national destiny…here in the States, it’s intellectual, our ties to fellow citizens are more intellectual than emotional, since we’re of such diverse backgrounds (and therefore tastes, really emotional stuff that’s beyond logic, like the idioms of a language which don’t translate well even if we can get the gist of their meaning). > I got to this newsgroup by looking at the groups Google has to offer. > I noticed at the veriaty and looked for the one that fits me, that is > depression/loneliness.

Its something that comes and goes.
Me, psychologically, I’ve somehow come to view the fun of others as my own, too, somewhat. For friends, I try to imagine the situation from their point of view, and when I’m successful doing that, I can actually feel a bit of their happiness rubbing off on me! Just a tiny bit, and that’s only sometimes. But what I’m trying to say is that if you could somehow claim their fun as your own, even if only conceptually…then you might not feel so bad, nor as often…like, with me, I see couples, or others having fun, and I feel a little "sentimental" — if that’s the right word here — and think, ah, I’m glad *somebody* is having fun, I’m glad life *does* go on, ’cause that gives me hope, hope that my turn may yet come around again! It’s like seeing someone doing something you used to do but no longer do and you start getting the old urge again and think, yes, that’s how it was! and you get kinda "inspired" by it…no need to take things "personally" in a negative way, no need to wonder "well how about *me* and mine"…like seeing someone with a BMW and a big mansion and not feeling jealous…. > Well, I think a girl is something all straight men are fantasizing > about, regardless of location and age.
Yes, in terms of sex — but I believe that some guys are actually happy, really, deeply happy with their current wives or girlfriends or whatever, and no longer "fantasize" about *love* and being loved…at such a time, it’s simply a matter of sexual taste or curiosity, it’s no longer a matter of "love"…if that makes any sense…. > The question is, what is your > dream in life you fantasizing about.

Typical Israeli! =) My life goal, if that’s what you mean, is to be a novelist, and a much beloved one, financially successful as well as critically acclaimed — for all time! It’s not the kind of "easy" thing to achieve, as you can see. So I think it’s just as well that life has disciplined me to accept disappointment and so forth. =) > What’s my problem? Reread what you just read.
Not necessarily…you may have only described the symptoms, the manifestations of some underlying thing. I’m curious what you yourself, given the time of an honest effort, might think.

As you said about yourself, the thing that is keeping me going is the thought that life would get better after a while. Of course I would rather have a good high school experience, but I know that after the 4 years of high school life might turn differently. > > Then I moved to Florida.

Yes, it is. I remember my elementary school years when It was easy for me to make friends. The funny thing is, the best friends I do have live in my home country (Israel) and I knew all of them from elementary school. Few even from kindergarden. This has nothing to do with the topic, but I also remember how over there, unlike here, everything was at a walking distane. We used to hang out at the mall and the streets every other day and just enjoy ourselves. Every summer I go over there and hang out. They do not know that my life in the United States are a lonely one. I leave the expression that I am having the time of my life.

Yep. I dont always feel sad about being alone. Some days I just cope with it and think maybe it is the day I came to accept it, but then I see how others are having fun and just cant bare the sight of it, and I feel sad again. Its something that comes and goes. > You’re here now. Here, "we stand alone together." What’s on your > mind, really? What do you find yourself thinking about most of the > time?

Well, I think a girl is something all straight men are fantasizing about, regardless of location and age. The question is, what is your dream in life you fantasizing about. Is it becoming a doctor? opening a company? seeing sights? Mine is traveling in South America, Europe, and Asia.

You remember the story of Cain and Abel? God’s punishment for Cain murdering his brother Abel wasn’t the death penalty — it was exile. Loneliness is indeed worse than mere death. Even when I haven’t exactly been depressed I’ve wondered about suicide. It all just seems so pointless. What’s keeping from actually doing it? For me, aside from simple physical cowardice, is a sense of feeling like I haven’t quite lived yet…I would feel cheated indeed if I were to just die and not have had at least some of my goddamned dreams come true, you know…that, and curiosity: curiosity about where things will wind up, how things will develop, in my life, in the world. The real reason I have to keep going, even in the worst of times, is this sense of not having had my share yet of the good life, and simple curiosity whether I ever will. So, what kept you going?

Yeah, I can relate. It’s harder to make friends as one gets older, isn’t it? Funny but true. As kids, we can simply just hang out, we’ve got nothing better to do anyway, in a sense. How did you find this newsgroup?

What is it you want to talk about, exactly? I remember just suddenly feeling sad as a kid, too — just feeling very sad and wanting to cry. I’m not like that anymore, thank Goodness, but I still remember those days. Feeling so alone and all. You’re here now. Here, "we stand alone together." What’s on your mind, really? What do you find yourself thinking about most of the time? Me, I’m still fantasizing about having a girl, you know, having a love of my life. What’s your problem? =)

Find out what you like doing or want to, and take the steps to get you there. Try out new things. eg.

Question:

You can try to be contrary all you want, but it’s still irrelevant. I didn’t talk about "Lust". Claiming that lust is an emotion says nothing about "Love". It says quite a bit actually. No, actually it doesn’t. Your unconvincing assertion about Lust still says nothing directly about Love. It sharply differentiates love from an emotion. It certainly wasn’t sharp.

That is probably because the difference *is* hopelessly vague. You are under the erroneous impression that love is an emotion.
