Didn't read the whole thread, just responding to the OP. If you are still in school, then you are far too unhappy for someone of your age, especially if you have a normal life in every other way (as in no domestic issues or poverty). Get out there, play some games or sports and connect with people. One day you are probably going to realize you cannot solve the world's problems so it's better not to get stuck feeling unhappy with the way things are. Enjoy every new day that you wake up to...it's not hard.

When I was in school, I was a severe asthmatic and the steroids would make me cranky and moody. And because I was this bookworm, 'friends' would not miss too many opportunities to taunt me when I fared awkwardly at games. But looking back, those were the most memorable moments of my childhood, for all the quibbling and quarreling and bullying that used to happen.

Not saying it is not possible. But our friend has had no luck so far...

I think his requirements might be too strict...

Quite possibly...

Yes, that is probably true.

As for sports, I used to do lots of sports, but now I find it hard to find the motivation and the energy.(Yes I know doing some sports would give me plenty of energy) I didn´t really write about my problems here to get answers. I just felt like I could use someone to talk to... Maybe get some sympathy...

Also I used to play the guitar, I played with varying frequency for over 6 years, but then I just got tired of it, because I couldn´t make myself practice enough to become as good as I wanted to be. In the last 2 years when I played, I think I didn´t make any progress.

I´m currently kind of stuck in a vicious circle with my thoughts and routines.

I like my eggs boiled and that´s it!

There's nothing wrong with wanting more for yourself, but 'always' wanting more, could mean that you're never happy.

You need to look at the reasons why you always want more.

True fulfillmenmt may never be within your grasp, if you are pre-disposed to never allowing it to be. You may find that you are looking for something that doesn't exist, and if that is the case, the earlier in your life you realise this, and accept it, the more time you will have to appreciate what you do have.

In any case, I wish you happiness.

Edited with less potentially offensive language..

Agreed

Off topic, but I had two unlikely prog experiences at work today..

1) I was having a coffee with an IT support guy in the cafeteria today, and Mike & the Mechanics came on the radio (Living Years) He rolled his eyes and said, when you think of all the great music Genesis made, all you ever hear on the radio is the drek that the individual members made. A bit harsh, I thought, but it did launch us into a discussion about Genesis and prog rock. Interestingly he said he really liked Pendragon and Marillion, but had never heard the term 'neo-prog'

2) Roughly an hour later, I took a package over to our shipping dept, and the packing room guy - again, who I'd known for years - was blasting out 'Seconds Out' on the stereo.

A good day for prog rock at my work place. Mind you, it is crawling with nerdy scientists...

Anyway..back on topic..slightly..it goes to show there are those out there, who appreciate our music. Seek and ye shall find.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I'm the same way. I have a very small circle of very close friends, most of them i;ve known since age 6.

We will always enjoy our company, but i'm pretty much the "music nerd". I lack a lot of similarities with them, and it seems they tend to drift away sometimes.

I enjoy being alone, but it wears down you eventually.

try to find something to fill your life like joint a sport team or learn to play a guitar

Is there some kind of hidden meaning here?

And to quote some other one: yes, exersize does help! A bit over an hour of running, strenght-training and stretching at the gym always leaves me feeling better than i did before

We'd probably end up with some pretty diverse neighborhoods, something like in Michael Marshall Smith's novel Only Forward...different neighborhoods for different interests, walls built around them, etc. I don't think I'd want to live in the Shred neighborhood, though...probably the ZART neighborhood, though even that could be pretty scary. LOL

I think it would be a lot more helpful of you to send a gun than to give such blatant and obvious advice. Make new friends? Dead

What the kind of an advice is that?

I'm sorry to laugh at your misery but this is incredibly funny. LOL
