Tell me your life story.
It seems that in just about every thread I see somebody posting about some issues they've had in life, (i have too, no worries friends) and I feel it's necessary to have a whole thread dedicated to people spilling their guts.
Go ahead, don't be shy. Let me see what you guys have on your minds. |

Re: Tell me your life story.
Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute Just sit right there I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air In west Philadelphia born and raised On the playground was where I spent most of my days Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school When a couple of guys who were up to no good Started making trouble in my neighborhood I got in one little fight and my mom got scared She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air' I begged and pleaded with her day after day But she packed my suit case and sent me on my way She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket. I put my Walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'. First class, yo this is bad Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass. Is this what the people of Bel-Air living like? Hmmmmm this might be alright. But wait I hear they're prissy, bourgeois, all that Is this the type of place that they just send this cool cat? I don't think so I'll see when I get there I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air Well, the plane landed and when I came out There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out I ain't trying to get arrested yet I just got here I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared I whistled for a cab and when it came near The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror If anything I could say that this cab was rare But I thought 'Nah, forget it' - 'Yo, homes to Bel Air' I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later' I looked at my kingdom I was finally there To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air In all seriousness I suppose: I was born in Renton Washington to a mother who smoked all her pregnancy. I got hit in the face with a bat, by my brother. It was a metal bat. I went to elementary and had three friends. Two of which moved around the beginning of third grade. I was also made fun of by a lot of the kids there, the worst offender being my brother. ADHD "diagnosis" I lived in Renton till the end of fourth grade. Had one friend from 3rd grade on. I still talk to him here and there. Moved out to Puyallup. Went through a bit more bullying from one load of trash kid. I hit him in the face with a very thick stick outside of school. 6th grade camp got into a physical fight with my brother at "6th grade camp" and won. 7th grade - 9th grade. Kept to myself. Didn't talk much, had a few friends. Mostly just bolted from class to class and went the hell home. 10th grade, things picked up a bit. I stopped being as withdrawn as I was, finally let a few things go. Had some damn good people near me at this time, which I will say helped immensely. 11th grade, figured out how much I liked Videography and Photography. Did a lot of things with that. Took some "advanced" courses. Got into a fight with my mother in which she actually asked me to speak my mind, so I told her I thought she was a bitch. Got bitch slapped 7 times, but worth it. Had a girlfriend here who lasted longer than a few weeks. Met a few of my friends I work with now. 12th grade, became actively involved in the school news stuff, photography things, my "advisory instructor" pretty much hated me, despite being one of the few people in that room who could be trusted with the master key to the school on many occasions. Pretty much everyone who I never talked to before, tried talking to me here, but having been so shut off it was a huge "why the fuck are you talking to me" ordeal. I actually asked someone that, and his answer was fucking awful. 4 years of college pretty much nothing changed. I played a lot of FFR, picked up League of Legends, Starcraft 2 and the like. Now I'm employed at a Wal-mart a mile down the road, I work 9 hours 4 days a week. Casually gaming and stuff. I live at home with my parents still. Last edited by XelNya; 08-19-2013 at 10:27 PM.. |

Re: Tell me your life story.
Well I had a really difficult time in my first year of on-campus housing in college. For my first semester, I hadn't cleaned the house regularly before college, so I wasn't used to cleaning the dishes everyday. I also wasn't used to vacuuming and sweeping every week, so my roommates ended up resenting me and never wanted to talk with me. In the end, they kicked me out at the end of the semester (even though you're supposed to stay in the same room for the whole year), and I had move into a different building and room for my second semester. Unfortunately, my second semester living on-campus was an even worse experience for me.
I was a lot better at cleaning by then, so that wasn't the problem. Two of my roommates were really nice to me, and we got along fairly well. However, my other roommate who lived in the same room as me (we're assigned three different people for our unit, and there's two bedrooms with two people living in each bedroom) ended up hating me. I think it first started when she was talking on the phone in our bedroom at 3 a.m. in the morning, and I politely, but assertively, asked her to please stop talking on the phone, since I was trying to sleep. Instead of complying, she told me in a very rude way that it's her room too and she can do whatever she would like. I then said that's fine and that I would just get our floor advisor to handle the situation, but before I left, she said that she would stop. After that day, I noticed her being rude to me all the time by ignoring me when I spoke to her, and insulting me every once in awhile when she was talking to me, which wasn't very often. Towards the end of the semester, she apparently resented me so much that she put a curtain over her bed so we wouldn't see each other while in the same room. I was so glad to be leaving for summer vacation, but I hope that my second year of college will be a lot better!

Re: Tell me your life story.
This summer I worked in a summer camp with a bunch (60) of mindless other individuals who worked there for apparently all the wrong reasons. Being the random and intellectual fellow that I am, I seldom felt out of place among them, even if I was one of the kids' favorite dude. Because I felt that way for 8 weeks in a row, I am starting more and more to feel reclusiveness to avoid it. It is the first time I felt this way in my whole life, and it scares me. I am getting more and more cynical, it is making me quite sad. I need to have a positive relationship with someone else than my girlfriend and my family to make me stay on the right track.
Basically, I feel so alone at times. And I feel so sad about being sad about what seems such a small problem compared to other people, like you guys who posted before me. This needs to end. Last edited by MarioNintendo; 08-19-2013 at 10:36 PM.. |

Re: Tell me your life story.
born in texas, had a fairly standard first 8 years of my life
moved 45 minutes away when i was 8 homeschooled most of my life with the exceptions of kindergarten, 6th grade and high school moved to florida with my grandma after completing 6th grade had the most fucked up period of my life from ages 12 to 14. dad was having PTSD issues and mom had to stay home to make sure my grandma didn't cause trouble for us (me and my brother). she's an evil bitch who can only be loved from a distance. developed anxiety issues from various traumatizing experiences, such as my dad's seizures and delusions. i should mention that the reason we moved both times in the first place was because "God called us there". notable that i don't consider myself a very religious person anymore. after that period of my life we moved to ohio. my dad got better and is now working as a therapist. high school was really tough because it was accompanied by my anxiety (both social and general, social anxiety is mostly gone now) but aside from that probably some of the best years of my life so far, having met rly good friends both irl and on the internet. also overcame my social anxiety through high school and medication although in some situations it still persists. now i'm just excited for college i guess. i can only hope my issues won't get in the way of my future. as a result of my own problems i take depression and anxiety very seriously. i know people like to exaggerate but there are so many people who say they're depressed that don't even know what it actually feels like. i'm just glad to be done with that part of my life tho, i shouldn't have had to gone through what i did at such a young age |

Re: Tell me your life story.
Holy fucking hell this is an enormous wall of text. Fuck it though, you asked for a life story... spoiler'd for ease I guess.
Edit: Oh man Choof, I'm glad you're enjoying life again... not once in my emotional turmoil have I ever felt the desire to attempt suicide, cut myself, etc., so I can't imagine how elated you must feel now. Last edited by smartdude1212; 08-20-2013 at 02:58 AM.. |
