I stopped giving a flying fuck when I was in the 6th grade, and ever since then I have never once had a single depressing thought. Why do you guys care what other people think? In NO FREAKING WAY can it affect the outcome of your life. You control it, so why do you kids always get depressed.. its just so... weak

Replies Lawlarcakez Posted at 10:54 am on June 26, 2008 I'm sorry, what? I don't think you realize how difficult it is for some people to not care. Making statements like "ignore them and move on" does NOT work for some people. No matter how much people like this try, they cannot use this "technique", you could say. Sure, being fat may not be a big deal, but have you heard what some people say about larger people? Society is messed up. Unless you sit in your house for the rest of your life, it's impossible to avoid society, and the rude, mind-wrecking comments. You're lucky. By the way you're talking, I guess you could be a 1000 pound 65-year old dude who's homeless, jobless, and you could think you could talk to pigeons and pigs. People could know this and you wouldn't care at all. Congrats. Too bad it doesn't work that way for everyone. I would know, since I'm one of those people. LudovicoTechnique Posted at 2:03 pm on June 25, 2008 I do care what people think of me(Not everyone) and I've never been through depression. Explosion990 Posted at 1:59 pm on June 25, 2008 If people constantly call you fat on a daily basis, then obviously you are. Just admit to yourself that you ARE indeed fat, and you will find that it is alot easier to block people out. So what if your fat? How are the words of another person going to affect you if you already know it to be true? Honestly though, whats wrong with being fat? All that it changes is your appearance, and maybe you are a little selfish, but other than that, it does nothing to your personality. Once you know that being fat does not make you inhuman, you realize how useless it is to be offended by the term. Rayne237 Posted at 1:56 pm on June 25, 2008 Yes, and I know you think your already helping us all. But all these people are just going to put you down, and then you'll be like the rest of us. Please stay happy. If The rest of us can't, I would like to believe that someone is. Explosion990 Posted at 1:55 pm on June 25, 2008 You don't need an iron will, you just need a will period. Just find maybe 1 or 2 friends who you know wont insult you, and you're good to go. chicklover Posted at 1:54 pm on June 25, 2008 we give in to what others say because they won't let us forget it. and eventually they will say it so much that we will start believing it. and it may be weak but being weak will mean soon enough you will become strong and stronger then you Rayne237 Posted at 1:54 pm on June 25, 2008 We can. Your right. It's all our actions and our thoughts. nobody's perfect. I don't even know why that word was invented. It has a meaning. You don't let negative thoughts into your head. I Can't get them out. You seem like a happy person. Help me out then. roxxay Posted at 1:53 pm on June 25, 2008 Quote: from hivemind at 1:49 pm on June 25, 2008 some people just cant help but let there feeling rule how they live there lives same can be said for the fact that some people cant help but be self concious not so easy. =\ Natsy Posted at 1:53 pm on June 25, 2008 actually, it can. if someone is telling you everyday that you are pathetic, useless, worthless, no one cares about you, you're fat, etc, you WILL come to believe it, and you'd have to have an iron will to not be affected by it in some way. xsnortingxashesx Posted at 1:50 pm on June 25, 2008 Quote: from Explosion990 at 1:48 pm on June 25, 2008 Its just so pathetic though. All you have to do is shut out the rest of the world and your problems (emotional at least) will be over. Not if you have a problem with your brain chemistry. BackPorch Posted at 1:50 pm on June 25, 2008 I am glad it is so easy for you.   For others.. it isn't so easy. Pretty much everyone knows that the things people think of you aren't going to affect the outcome of your life, but it still makes you feel bad. Also, depression isn't just about what people think of you. In fact, I would say most of the time it isn't.   Like someone said above.. pick up a book on psychology. It could help you understand it better and stop judging people. camillelong 26 Posted at 1:50 pm on June 25, 2008 cuz not everyone can be as strong as you oh mighty one hivemind Posted at 1:49 pm on June 25, 2008 some people just cant help but let there feeling rule how they live there lives same can be said for the fact that some people cant help but be self concious Explosion990 Posted at 1:48 pm on June 25, 2008 Its just so pathetic though.
