Boo-hoo. Get over your HS stuff or whatever it is. Time to grow up.
If only it was that easy, Haltz, but it's not.
That was sort of tongue-in-cheek, Spider. Or I'm trying a new approach. But Cronos does need to realize the good things he brings to the table and stop dwelling on this self-perpetuating stuff. Easier said than done, I'm sure.
It's like whining about not getting any girls. Girls don't want guys that act desperate so you are just digging yourself a bigger hole. Maybe it's a slow process or maybe it's a moment of clarity, I don't really know. But what I do think is that Cronos needs to focus on the positives, that he has it pretty good and that he has something to offer and feel confident about. I think that's a start.

I'm glad you clarified what you said. I'll leave it at that, and echo what Spider said.
Question though: what's this "High chool" thing that both you and Planet are referring to? Did I say something in the past that implied something about my High school experience, or just referring to problems that a lot of people have? That has very little to do with it.

Tequila
Different drink, but that's probably what caused the thread to be created in the first place. Drinking seems to amplify whatever emotion I'm going through at the time.
I'm going to have to go against the flow and tell you that you need to quit drinking ASAP. And unless your goal is to be a tragic figure you need to figure out how to change your outlook and put together a plan to get mentally and emotionally healthy. Better to listen to Elliot Smith than to share his fate.

Hmm...is it bad that I've never even heard of Elliot Smith?
And nah; I'm in control of the drinking and I'd probably be worse without it.
