I was a lot like Connor when I was his age. It really fucked me up. I'm still pretty fucked up. I didn't finish college until I was 26, and its taken me years to find full time employment (still hasn't happened). He needs to shape up NOW so he doesn't become a fuck up like me.
I don't normally get charged over shit like this, but COME ON, Connor. For 54 pages you've insisted that we've enlightened you and that now you're focusing on improving your life, only for you to come back a few days later wallowing in your own self-pity and cynicism. I've lost count of how many people have offered you genuinely good advice, only for you to throw it back in their faces by offering excuses or outright dismissing their help.
Just try to grow up. Just try to stop whining and start doing. Just fucking try. And if you aren't even going to try to try, then just shut up and stop trying to make us feel sorry for you.
Ignore him. He is not worth the effort.
We're too nice for our own good sometimes. Kind of funny seeing as how his fellow posters at Wrong Planet think we're a bunch of autism-hating monsters, but that's probably because we're not the asspat brigade.I don't know what's funnier; the fact that this kid is a whiny duplicate of the Golden Knight or the fact that you people are trying when he clearly sees you all as NPCs.

In all honesty, I really wanted Connor to change his ways because I sympathize with his position to a large degree. I even tried to encourage him to go out and volunteer at his local library because that's what I did to help get my first real job. If nothing else, I just hope other people look upon this thread as a tale of warning on how NOT to interact with people who are genuinely willing to help you out.I don't know what's funnier; the fact that this kid is a whiny duplicate of the Golden Knight or the fact that you people are trying when he clearly sees you all as NPCs.
Where did "fucky you" originate?
Connor said it in chat once, possibly to Null, possibly in reference to a crack about Molly Ringwald.

Oh, hush, you're not a fuck-up. The fact that you're here giving advice is proof of that. You haven't given up, right? So there you go. Besides, I'm 25 & still haven't finished my undergrad (though I hope to re-enroll this summer & knock it out once I get financial aid stuff straightened out). It's not a race, you know? Shit happens.I was a lot like Connor when I was his age. It really fucked me up. I'm still pretty fucked up.

This. You just gotta throw yourself into something, or you'll regret it if you don't. My mom was 45 by the time she was finally able to make associate professor, & now she's 50 & has just gotten remarried, tenure, & plans on being associate dean of the school of nursing. Her life is just beginning anew. You're never too old to make your dreams happen, I think.I had a lot of financial setbacks to finishing school. I was old enough to be a graduate student when I finally finished undergrad, and now I'm an associate professor at an age when most people are looking into securing tenure. It bothers me a lot, because I've really limited my employment potential due to circumstances where I had to choose between having a roof over my head and taking another year of school while literally living in my car. There were a lot of times when I asked myself "Why am I doing this? I'm going to be forty before I graduate." The only answer that is that I'm going to be forty whether or not I graduate; the only difference is whether I'll be forty with something I really want, or whether I'll be forty with a dream I gave up on. I went for the dream. It's not all what I imagined it would be, but I absolutely do not regret it, even when the student loan payments roll in.
Yeah, well. I think a lot of us see ourselves in Connor. Well, a few of us do. I don't think he's completely beyond redemption like GK is, though. He's just a dumb kid trying to be super-edgy, not a sadistic pedophile.I don't know what's funnier; the fact that this kid is a whiny duplicate of the Golden Knight or the fact that you people are trying when he clearly sees you all as NPCs.
I did, too. Whether or not Connor decides to take this advice is his prerogative. But I think that, if nothing else, this thread is a reminder that there's hope for everybody, as everyone here has dealt with some really horrible shit & persevered in some way.In all honesty, I really wanted Connor to change his ways because I sympathize with his position to a large degree. I even tried to encourage him to go out and volunteer at his local library because that's what I did to help get my first real job.

Whoever made it did it. . .last year, I think? Before Null changed his avatar.I like the use of oldschool Null, although the cynic in me thinks it was a choice made because that avatar is easier to draw.
