Personally, I Hate Valentines Day. It's A Day For People To Spread The False Concept Of Love Around In A Non-Thought-About Way. I Don't See Why People Like To Spread Around Something Which Simply Isn't Real.

I went to an anti-valentine's party last year <.<

I hate Valentine's Day too, because I am spending it alone, again. :mad:

I do realise I would view it differently were things otherwise.

it may not be real to you but maybe it is to the people who choose to spend their time enjoying themselves together and making something special of their love.

personally i've never had anything to look forward to on valentine's day, ever, so now that i do - now that i have a girl i love - i'm gonna do my damnedest to make sure we get to share that love and that she knows just how special to me she is :fluffle:

A ploy by the corporations to make you spend money.

Agreed. Once a Hallmark holiday, always a Hallmark holiday.

true, but also a good excuse/opportunity to go overboard on the affection for a day :)

Possibly the same here. :( Commiserations.

You anti-valentine dolts DON'T buy anything, its a day to remind your S.O. that you are hip deep in love with them.

Jesus some of you are cold dead in the heart.

Heart? Who said we have one? <.<

If you really love somebody why do you need one specific day to show it?

Ok, So I Primarily Hate Valentines Day Because I Don't Have Anyone To Spend It With. That's Primarily Because My Standards Are WAY Too High. As In "Must Be This Intelligent In My Eyes". No One I've Met (Besides On Here) Has Met The Intelligence Standard. So Unless One Of You Feels Like Flying To Fairfield, California, I Really Don't Have Anyone To Spend Valentines Day With. And Besides, It IS A Conspiricy By Coporations To Make You Spend Money. But Tell Me, If Love Is Real, Why Is It That Married Couples, Who Vow To Love Each Other, Have A Cheating (In One Way Or Another) Rate Of 60%~? Why Is It That With Non-Married Couples, It's 75%~? So I Ask You, Is Love Real?

If you're with someone it's great. Corporate ploy?!? Pah! The best Valentines Day you can have involves spending nothing <<;) :fluffle: ;) >>

That would be my problem too. :rolleyes: I am very picky.

because it's easier to get a babysitter on Valentines:p

seriously, my husband and I celebrate too many "love" holidays, the anniversary of our first date, the anniversary of the date he proposed, the anniversary of our wedding, Friday the 13th, and Valentines day........I don't think I missed any......oh, yeah one more but I am not sharing it, it's private. ;)

You See Unfortunately, No One Tends To Come To Me. I Mean, The Reason Right Now Why I DON'T Have A Girlfriend Is Because Well, I Doubt Anyone Would Ever Want To BE My Girlfriend. I Tend To Have A Personality Which Is Completely Repulsive To Everyone Except For Those Who's Personality Is Identical, Among Other Things. So I Doubt Even If I Lowered My Standards To The Lowest Of The Low, There Is No Way I Could Get A Girlfriend. Well, Happy Sailing All Those Who Have Someone!

that cheating rate does not specify whether the cheating/affair is purely sexual in nature or whether it is (extra-marital) love-motivated.

either way its no valid arguement against love existing

For some reason I always thought you were a girl. :confused: It's frustrating if people don't come to you, and finding identical people is difficult in my case. Most people simply annoy me.

Yeah, I'm Kind Of, A Boy. I Really Doubt Even If I Tried My Hardest To Find Someone, I Still Wouldn't Find Anyone. Well, Here's To A Life Of Loneliness And Adoption!

I did find a guy I liked and who was really identical to me, but he is in Sweden, and now has a boyfriend. :) :headbang: Well for now anyway. XD

Wow... That Really Sucks...

i used to think that was the case with me, too. used to think there was no such thing as love, like you say now. used to think i was a total loser who'd never get a girl for 5 minutes, yet alone get to have a relationship with one and fall in love.

guess what happened.

i found her :fluffle: :D
and she changed my mind on all that... i now believe there's someone out there for everyone, its just a matter of luck, patience and attitude. good luck! :)

Ok, So I Primarily Hate Valentines Day Because I Don't Have Anyone To Spend It With.

As Aesop would say, a case of Sour Grapes. Possibly a Dog in the Manger.

(I do have someone to spend it with, and we WON'T be spending any cash on it.
:D

Wow... That Really Sucks...
It does. It made me really happy and almost un-goth, but it looks like they might break up anyway. So I'll just wait, and meet up with him when I go to Sweden.

Uhh.. Trust Me. There Is No One For Me. If There Is Someone For Me, Well Then, It Probably Means That I've Gone To An Afterlife Where I Can Make Anything I Want Happen. Oh, And I Really Don't Envy Anyone Who Has Someone. I've Gotten Very Used To The Loneliness. I Somewhat Enjoy The Loneliness, In Fact.

I might actually enjoy it if my girl wasn't over 3,000 miles away. Otherwise, I think it is the perfect holiday for the United States of Advertising...

The loneliness becomes sort of comforting.

you could try being less abrasive, I swear 4 months after I tried being less of a bitch I got married, I can be a bitch all I want to now, he is trapped. :eek: :D

Agreeing Whole Heartedly Maxima. It's A Strange Sort Of Comforting, Though. Now That I Think About It, I Enjoy The Loneliness Greatly... Maybe That's Why I Don't Have Anyone? Fate (Just Using As A Metaphor) Has Realized I Enjoy Loneliness, And Has Made No One For Me.

I don't mind Valentine's Day at all. I'm actually going to be on-call this year so I might be working, who knows! :) My good guy friends always come through on Valentine's Day and send me flowers, and if I'm dating anyone at the time it makes it even better. I wish you all a happy Valentine's Day, whether you're spending it with someone you care about or not!

Yeah, I sort of think the same. Luckily there is Nightwish to make the loneliness all the more melodic.

When it comes to finding that *special someone* everybody gets their chance if they choose to. If I can, anybody can.

Ehh, I Have Modest Mouse And Coldplay To Make It All Float Away. Try Listening To Them Sometime.

I don't really care one way or the other about Valentines Day but any holiday with delicious candy is great for me.

Ehh, I Have Modest Mouse And Coldplay To Make It All Float Away. Try Listening To Them Sometime.
I have. I like them.

Modest Mouse was one of our favorite bands to rock out to when drunk back in school... ah good times

I have. I like them.
How About Interpol? Or Death Cab For Cutie (Their More Recent Albums Perferablly)?

Valentines Day...one of the worst holidays for most guys.

I think you would become vastly more attractive to members of the opposite sex if you showed that you were capable of using the 'shift' key in a responsible manner.

Interpol was right up there on drunk rockout too, can't say the same for Death Cab, tho a buddy of mine from Seattle has been pushing them on me... who knows, maybe I'll cave eventually

I really want beer and pizza right now

I am very capable of using the 'shift' key in a responsible manner. It's not like I talk the way I type. Would that be even possible to capitilize the first letter of all my words when speaking?

How About Interpol? Or Death Cab For Cutie (Their More Recent Albums Perferablly)?
I've heard the later, and I think they're cool. I am mostly into gothic metal, like Nightwish, but I like most music either way, so long as it's good.

Age? I'm Sure Your In Your Early/Mid 20's. Death Cab Is More Melodic Than Interpol/Modest Mouse, So Not Suprised It's In The "Drunk Rockout" Category. Same With Coldplay.

Perhaps that is because you are too young to understand a loving relationship between two people?

My love for my wife is very real ....thank you!!

Mmm... For Gothic Metal I'll Take System Of A Down (They Still Are Technically, Moving More To Indie Rock, But Still Gothic Metal) Or Evanesance (Surpised?). Can't Say I Like Marilyn Manson, Considering He's One Of The Stupidest People I've Ever Seen. Don't Know If You Consider These Guys "Gothic Metal" At All, But I Hate H.I.M. Bunch Of Pretty Boys. I Friggin Hate Pretty Boys.

Ha. Believe Me, My Parents Said They Loved Each Other. I'm Sure Both Of Them Believed It. Then My Parents Cheated On Each Other. At The Same Time. I've Seen Plenty Of So-Called "Love", Even Though I May Have Never Experienced It.

Yeah that's def what it is - Coldplay more for when I'm in a chill mood. I just havn't heard Death Cab enough for it to hook me yet.

And you're right on - I'm 22

Evanescence is awesome. Nightwish is similar, and I daresay better. Their vocalist is out of this world. System of a Down is cool yeah. I hate those guys too, although I can stand H.I.M. from time to time.

I have no problem with pretty boys as eye-candy :p

H.I.M., Only If I Have Absoultetly No Idea It's Them. As In If The Song Is Entirely Acoustic (The Acoustics Are Damn Good, It's The Singing And Image I Have A Problem With). Unfortuantetly, I'm A Straight Male, So I Can't Use Them As Eye-Candy.

Shit happens: you can be a victim of a survivor. My parents cheated too, and usbsequently split (I was 12). IMO love is the most beautiful thing you can ever fall into. However, sadly it is impossible to understand it without understanding hate/anger (how can you feel sad if you've never felt happy). Anyways, I'm rambling...

Yeah, I realise that :p The singing could do with work. Much work. Eddie van Hylen (cannot remember what band he belongs to ) is quite awesome on guitar.

and Steam isn't updating my CS very friggin fast...

So why chose not to?

i dislike valentines day....it appers to be a holiday for the more popular people to show off what their bf or whoever got them and card companies to make money...its a lame holiday. id rather have a bf do somthing as a surpirse anyway cuz on valentines day everyone is expecting something ....

So why chose not to?

He did in this thread. You have to find it.

Why Do You Choose To Not Type Like Me? I Feel Like Typing This Way, As It Makes Me Happy. No Idea WHY It Makes Me Feel Happy, But Its Some Condolance To The Sadness That Is My Life.

She's out in Cali going to design school. She'll be visiting in March to check out a couple potential ceremony sites for our wedding next St. Patrick's Day.

Life has a funny way of turning things around when you least expect it. If for some reason things do so for the negative, I hope I don't give up on love. But like I said earlier, it's not something that just happens, you have to make the conscious choice to accept it - that choice is yours, and I am certianly not one to tell you what is right or wrong for you, only what is right or wrong for me. (that's also why I think psychologists are wacked... kind of like the IMF and World Bank trying to apply similar solutions to different problems... <--where the hell did that just come from??)

Out In California? May I Ask Where You Are, Kind Sir?

Nah, she's in cali outside Sac - im in DC on the east coast- thus I'm updating counterstrike and posting on forums at 11 on a friday night. I was out there for new years tho, and last july (i have a cousin who lives in Claremont as well)

Why Do You Choose To Not Type Like Me?


Why? Because it seems like an attempt to assert your individuality through affectation, and as such rings hollow.

Affirmative, shes a great gal. We're apart as a means to an end, if it doesn't pan out as planned, I'll cross that bridge if I ever get to it. Again, it's a decision I/we have made. It's right for us and will set us up to have things easier a little farther down the road.

I doubt it.

My boyfriend and I hate Valentine's Day and refuse to celebrate it. We made an agreement NOT to get each other anything because we don't need a day to celebrate our love.

So, TG, you're not along in your hatred for it. There are couples who don't celebrate it, and don't think that because you've got someone you love thay it makes it mandatory to celebrate this stupid holiday... because... it just doesn't.

Regardless of whether or not you like it, and regardless of whether it's just a blown up chemical reaction or not, there exists a conditin that is classified as love. It's just a block or two past lust, though many people take that turnoff mistakingly or on purpose. Don't go too far or you've hit obsession. There is love.

Yeah, I Have Two Birth Defects Which Affect My Bone Joints. One Is Motor Skill Approxia, Which Screws Up My Hands. Strangley Enough, Without It, I'd Probably Not Be Able To Type As Fast As I Can (125 Words Per Minute At Fastest). Unfortuantetly, It Makes The Way I Write With Pen/Pencil Really Screwy. I Also Have Fetal Hypoxia, Which Screws Up My Legs. It Causes My The Way I Run To Be Screwed Up, But I Can Do Some Nifty Tricks With My Legs With It! For Example I Can Have My Legs Crossed With One Leg Entirely Over The Other.

....Motor Skill Approxia....

Well, For All Of Us Who Aren't Doing Anything With Anyone On Valentines Day, What Are You Going To Be Doing On Valentines Day? I'll Probably Listen To All Of My Death Cab For Cutie, Coldplay, System Of A Down, Interpol And Evanesance CD's Until I've Heard Them All, Then Come Back On Here And Laugh At Everyone Who's Posting About How Great Their Valentine Day Celebrations Are Going.

You medical students make me sick, with your "proper words for things" and your "correct spelling." Not all of us possess perfect typing skills. Some of us are forced to type by smashing our faces* into the keyboard and hoping that sheer random chance makes the proper words come out.

Well, Aren't You Lucky, Ehh, Mr. Fiddlebottoms? And How Could I Forget? I'll Play (NOT IN THAT WAY YOU SICK PERVERT) With My Four Cats. Oh They Are So Cute. They Can Make All My Worries And Sadness Go Away Better Than Any Music Can.

It does, however, make the sense of what you're trying to communicate more difficult to read. There's a reason that printers created lowecase letters.. it was to increase legibility so that a reader could read faster and more smoothly. We've all been trained to recognize a capital letter as either the beginning of a sentence or a proper name, so your style forces readers to "stutter" in their reading and stop at every individual word.

It's. Like. Putting. A. Period. At. The. End. Of. Every. Word.

I hate Valentines Day. I just don't believe that you should set aside one day out of the entire year to show someone that you love them. While I am not doubting love, I am questioning if I will ever find love. My first girlfriend moved away and allowed her mom to influence her thinking about me. Her mom hated me because she broke up with me. This is why I hate break up, because no matter who broke up with who, the man is always the bad guy. The second one was ok when we were in High School. However I went to college, she didn't. She basically became a Welfare Queen and expected me to provide for both of us when I get out of college, so out the door she goes. The third and latest one was a manuplative gold digging woman. I woke up after spending $200 on the prom and dumped her after the fact that I found out she cheated on me when I was in California on surgery.

I asked girls out, and they did show intrest in me, but I always get these lame replies "I'm trying to find myself" "I like you, and you'll find someone, but I just want us to be friends." "Yes I will go out with you (but never set a date, no matter how much I talk to them.)"

Eh, I came to the conclusion a long time ago that before my ear and jaw reconstruction surgeries, society has rejected me because I looked "diffrent". Due to the rejection the only time I'm willing to be social is at the airport or while I'm eating ni the cafeteria (Hey I gotta have supper). Other than that I'm by myself. Since my surgeries are now done and I am in the range of "normal" in the physical sense. I am having a hard time being social after being rejected. Anyways, due to the fact that I am not social, I will have a hard time meeting someone. So yea.

Valentines Day, blah.

Ok, So I Primarily Hate Valentines Day Because I Don't Have Anyone To Spend It With. That's Primarily Because My Standards Are WAY Too High. As In "Must Be This Intelligent In My Eyes". No One I've Met (Besides On Here) Has Met The Intelligence Standard. So Unless One Of You Feels Like Flying To Fairfield, California, I Really Don't Have Anyone To Spend Valentines Day With. And Besides, It IS A Conspiricy By Coporations To Make You Spend Money. But Tell Me, If Love Is Real, Why Is It That Married Couples, Who Vow To Love Each Other, Have A Cheating (In One Way Or Another) Rate Of 60%~? Why Is It That With Non-Married Couples, It's 75%~? So I Ask You, Is Love Real?

If we're going by those stats being right (which I'm sorry but I have seen no proof for:D ) then perhaps the other 40% love one another and the ones that cheat don't...

As for valentine's Day... well I'm not expecting it to be any diff than any other day... cept I'll feel slightly more jealous of people who are happy together and I'll be all nosy and try to find out who likes who...;)

it's a big waste of time

that is total bull, you can do that any day, it means sooo much more if you choose a random day to do everything you wouldon valentines day to do because its not forced like valentines is, i have a girlfriend and i hate valentines day because i am forced to do stuff that would be better some other time
you don't know my full situation, bub.

this will be the first opportunity i have to show and tell her, in person, what she means to me, etc. no you shouldn't just wait for a single or a couple of days a year to make her feel special and loved, but for me this is the first time in almost 6 months i'm actually going to meet her. ergo, i can't "do that every day" (though i do try when we talk), and what i say isn't 'total bull' if you knew me or my situation.
we chose valentine's day partly because of the romantic connotations - makes meeting romantically less strange for a first date between two people who know each other really quite well - and also because she's on holiday this week and its actually possible.


i find it quite amusing how many people, over the numerous valentine's day threads, seem to be having some kind of competition with each other to be the first one to say - or say most vehemently - that you should make her feel speical every day and valentine's day should be no excuse to do that but just another day, etc etc. i don't disagree with that, and i'm not passing judgement, i just find this strangle little competition quite funny



edit: You medical students make me sick, with your "proper words for things" and your "correct spelling." Not all of us possess perfect typing skills. Some of us are forced to type by smashing our faces* into the keyboard and hoping that sheer random chance makes the proper words come out.
*No, you don't want to know what my hands are doing
lol! well there there's one standard bodily appendage we can all type with: the nose... so i guess that makes sense. though, for us guys, we get another option, but i'll leave you to work that one out on your own ;)

I need the Valentine girl first, so ... it's just another day. :)
Yes, another single bachelor ...

I don't particuarly dislike Valentine's Day, though I've never really liked it that much either. When I was a little kid, all right, it was fun. We'd all bring in little lollypops and chocolates for each other and have a great time. Yes, I know, Valentine's day is a day for corporations... they love little kids who do exactly what I did. But come on, who doesn't like getting a little card from your best friend that says "Bee mine!" and has a little candy attached to it? Now that I'm older - 8th grade - I feel more pressure to have a boyfriend on V-Day. I'm a loner if I don't, a loser with no friends. What can I say? I have plenty of fun with my other loser friends. :D

Hey! Just Because I Don't Have Any Friends And I Spend All Lunch Period In My Fourth Period Classroom Doing The Work For That Period And/Or Reading Doesn't Mean I'm A Loser! (Note, Am In 8th Grade). Please, I Don't Feel Any Pressure To Have A Girlfriend On The 14th Of Feburary. Sides, Not Like Any Of The Students At My School Cares About What I Do, So I Really Don't Have Pressure To Do Anything.

Personally, I Hate Valentines Day. It's A Day For People To Spread The False Concept Of Love Around In A Non-Thought-About Way. I Don't See Why People Like To Spread Around Something Which Simply Isn't Real.
I dislike Valentine's Day, but for a very different reason. I see it as the bastardisation and commercialisation of the very real concept of love, which I regrd as being quite personal.

Quite true. Hardly seems fair that personal feelings are demanded, as are personal gifts, by commercial companies.

true, but also a good excuse/opportunity to go overboard on the affection for a day :)True, true.. :)

O.K., So It Seems Most Of Us Hate Valentines Day! Some Because They Feel Like Valentines Day Is A Corporate Scam. Some Because They Feel As Though You Don't Need One Day To Celebrate "Love". Others, Like Europa Maxima And I, Hate It Because We Don't Believe In "Love", Or Simply Hate "Love".

I don't HATE valentines day but I'm not a huge fan of it and my reasons actually have nothing to do with the commercialization of it or anything like that. It's not even because I don't have someone special to spend it with. I don't like it cause it reminds me off my grandpas death. So i guess it is kind of connected to love cause I did love him and I lost him around this time of year (his funeral was actually on Valintines day hence my indifference to the day)

I H8 V-Day. It's stupid. Nobody loves me. V-Day Sux.

Dude, 1337 Is When You Subsitute Numbers For Words/Letters/Phrases/Syllables. For Example, 1337 Means Leet. H8 Means Hate. S8 Means Skate. 4 Means A. There Are Much More "1337" Words Out There. Research It Sometime.

Hmm... Maybe Because You Speak In 1337?

The two are generally concurrent.

Yeah, I'm sure that's why nobody loves me.. because I speak with letters And numbers. *Yup* .. that must be it. Good thinking. And it's sk8.

Nobody loves me because I dot my "I's" with X's instead of periods, it has nothing to do with dishonesty or a lack of conscience. Remember, always blame the petty little things for your problems, bigger issues are too hard to head think about.

Europa! I Watched The Music Video For "I Wish I Had An Angel" From Nightwish. Your're Right. They're Awesome. Can You Say Someone Has Moved Up To My Top Five Favorite Band List? Maybe A Little Too Dark For My Parents Tastes, But Who Cares What They Think? A Major Thing That I'm Happy About Is The Lead Singers Voice. Her Voice Isn't Like Any Other Female Singer I've Heard. It Actually Fits With Into The Gothic/Metal Genre!

What Ever.

I think you're just lonely. Try spelling things properly. I think that's your problem with relationships. That, and capitalizing every word.

That should be "Whatever."

Incidentally, dont take the above overly melevolently, I've been through the same myself, and audacity, pro-activeness and a positive frame of mine do help immensely.

Cats are the best ^^ I love them way more than dogs.

I have a cat purring, half asleep on my lap. I love my cats. They're so affectionate and warm and cuddly.

Cats are my little friends. I love cats. There's nothing quite like a cat to cheer me up.

Yeah, One Of My Cats, Cloud (Who Is Essentialy A Giant Furball) Will NOT Leave Me Alone. Everywhere I Go, Cloud Follows. I Sit Down, He Jumps On My Lap. I Put Him Off Me, He Gets Back On. It Does Get Annoying After A While, But You Cannot Deny The Cuteness Of These Little Cats.

i love cats :) :fluffle:

miss mine :(

it may not be real to you but maybe it is to the people who choose to spend their time enjoying themselves together and making something special of their love.

personally i've never had anything to look forward to on valentine's day, ever, so now that i do - now that i have a girl i love - i'm gonna do my damnedest to make sure we get to share that love and that she knows just how special to me she is :fluffle:

you gonna make her some chicken tikka masala or spag Bolognese?

hehe

you guys are either losers, or some emo kids...

cats, shmats

if you want an affectionate pet, get a dog!

hehe

though if i wanted to impress, i'd do her a lasagne :D

Or We Could Just Be Loners Who Hate/Don't Believe In "Love". Remeber, Emo Kids Believe And Like Love. And Loners Aren't Losers.

To my mind (and I'm sure plenty of cynics around here agree with me) it just falls into that category of over-commercialized holidays, same as Christmas, Thanksgiving, Hallowe'en, or Easter. It sickens me, and not just because I'm allergic to chocolate (as though I would ever get any? Or eat it if I did?). I'm sure you could argue that I'm just saying this because I'm resentful about not having someone to celebrate it with/for, but even in the patently impossible situation that I did, I'd say the same thing. There's no reason to create a holiday celebrating love, because it means so many different things to different people.

Okay, whoa.

I haven't read the whole thread, so I might repeat something that's been said, I don't know.

Ritlina, I don't know how old you are, but this could potentially be aimed at you. (Oh, and I do find the typing style somewhat irritating, but if that's your thing, go for it. It's better than randomly capitalizing letters in the middle of words, lIke aLL tHOsE ReALly IrRitATing teEnAGeRS on mySpACe or something)

Whoever it was who is in 8th grade and is single, this is directed at you, too.

I didn't get my first boyfriend until my junior year of high school. Some people are single through high school and college.

Just because you don't have a significant other at this point in your life doesn't mean love/caring about people is a horrible thing. And just because the relationships you had/have have been short and somewhat disappointing doesn't mean every relationship will be that way. Yes, people do cheat on each other, but there are plenty of happy couples in the world who do love each other.

The sun will come out tomorrow! (Well, tomorrow meaning some day in the future.)

And chances are it will go away again, then return, then retreat, and you'll have stages of happiness and misery for the rest of your life.

But such is the way of being human.

Cats are the best ^^ I love them way more than dogs.
I prefer cats over dogs, humans, and most other animals, for that matter. Partly because we seem to share a certain dispassionate, logical outlook on life; a distaste for phoniness; an affinity for darkness; a keen sense of hearing; excellent survivability... In addition, the damn things keep climbing on me whenever I sit down within reach of one! ¬_¬ ;)

They also share your affinity for running around naked, torturing mice and then dragging their corpses into the garage.

Love is real: why some of us (me icluding) have yet to find that someone to share V day with; it doesn't mean it isn't exist.

Sometimes it would be better if it didn't: stop thinking about a certain girl, but crushes eventually pass. So will your anger at V day.

How true. :D

eh, I hate Valentine's Day too. I want to replace it with the nonexistent yet pretty cool 'February 31st'.

Ha. Believe Me, My Parents Said They Loved Each Other. I'm Sure Both Of Them Believed It. Then My Parents Cheated On Each Other. At The Same Time. I've Seen Plenty Of So-Called "Love", Even Though I May Have Never Experienced It.

Your situation reminds me of my own. I now have three rules by which I will rule my life:

1. Do not trust in love
2. Do not trust in hope
3. Do not trust in people

The third is the most important. People are bastards. All of them. And they will all end up betraying you, no matter how they proclaim to love you. Humanity is rotten to its core.

Yes, That Is Why I Would (If I Had The Chance) Have Every Single Human In The World Dissapear. Then I Simply Have The Animals To Keep Me Company, And They Are More Company Than Any Human Could Ever Be. Love? What's That? Hope? A Fool's Idea.

Well, For All Of Us Who Aren't Doing Anything With Anyone On Valentines Day, What Are You Going To Be Doing On Valentines Day? I'll Probably Listen To All Of My Death Cab For Cutie, Coldplay, System Of A Down, Interpol And Evanesance CD's Until I've Heard Them All, Then Come Back On Here And Laugh At Everyone Who's Posting About How Great Their Valentine Day Celebrations Are Going.

Drinking...sweet alcohol. It makes the world seem better.

Here's a tip for single guys (maybe girls too, i wouldn't know): Find a girl who would go out with you, spend a couple weeks with her, then decide whether or not you want to keep on going out with her. If you don't try, you'll never find the right one.

Reactions?

That's a bit selfish. I bet other people are thinking the same thing, make everyone else disappear except ME. And why do people like animals so much? They're mostly in it for the food we give them anyways. What kind anyways? Fluffy dogs? Cutesy wutesy cats? Ugh. When you say animals, you probably only mean the nice ones. No one cares about the tarsians or the emus, I'm betting. And I'm sure you wouldn't want an alligator keeping you company. It'd probably bite your head off in the next second.

Hmm... Lets See Here!

Reason 1: 85 Percent Of My School Population Are African Americans, Latinos Or "White Trash" Who Wouldn't Look Twice At Me Because They Can Tell By The Clothing I Wear I Listen To Rock

Reason 2: 95 Percent Of The School Population Is Repulsed By My Personality (Not A Saying Fuck You All The Time Personality, I'm Just Reclusive And Non-Social, Etc.)

Reason 3: The Remaining 5 Percent Are Either Preppies Or "Far Too Intelligent For Me" People Who Think They're Too Good For Me, Or Are Loners Themselves And Probably Wouldn't Talk To Me Even If I Went Up To Them And Tried To Initiate Conversation.

So, Any Questions?

Krakozha Asked Us To Give Advice On Her Baby. Silence And Nothing Asked For Advice On Her Suicidal Thoughts. Hell, I'm Sure Most Of You Who Knew Zooke Have Donated To The Zooke Breast Cancer Foundation. We Are All One Big Family, And There Is No Denying It.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that we're a family. More like a community. Since I don't know how you would react if I suddenly IMed you or emailed you out of the blue, as if we were old friends, or siblings, etc.

And I haven't (yet) talked to someone I didn't know in the hallways. I will do it in class, and I have made a few friends that way - who I normally wouldn't have been friends with if I hadn't had the chance to talk to them. But if I did have the chance, maybe I'd go up, say Hi, my name's -----, what's yours? Then maybe I'd strike up a conversation about something random. It works much better online if you're IMing someone, but as for real life, people are usually surrounded by their friends and I'd feel awkward just walking up. Because he or she probably wouldn't have the grace to allow me, a stranger, to intrude on their space and try to make friends with him or her.

Ain't Gonna Work With Loners. If You Want To Become Friends With Someone Who Normally Wouldn't Want Any Friends, I Recommend You Examine Them At School Almost To The Point Of Stalking. Find Out What Their Hobbies Are, What Ever It May Be. Then, During A Lunch Period Or Something Of The Other, Find Them, Sit About 10 Meters Away From Them. Start Doing What Hobby Of Theirs They're Doing. They Will Tend To Look Around, So They Will Eventually See You. They Won't Automatically Come Up To You And Talk To You. Do This Same Process For A Couple Of Weeks. Don't Do It Everyday, Otherwise It Will Look Like You Are Trying To Be Friends With Them, And They Won't Like That. Eventually, They May Scoot Over To Get Closer To You To See What Your Doing. Then Start Up A Conversation With Them About What Ever Your Doing. And A Friendship Will Start From There. Just Take It Slow, Though. After All, We Don't Exactly WANT Friends. Don't Introduce Them To Your Other Friends For A While, Too. We See That As Agressiveness. Wait Until You Become Good Friends, Then Introduce Them To Your Other Friends. And The Lesson About Becoming Friends With A Loner Is Done.

Do you want someone to do that to you? I'm already pretty well adjusted anyways at school. I just like knowing people, learning about personalities, not having strangers around me. Heh.

If I came up to you and started talking to you, you'd probably walk away or ignore me. Do you think people could ever let down their invisible barriers just enough to let other people in, people who WON'T hurt them?

Ok, Time For A Metaphor.

Say There Is A Wall Seperating Two Towns. If Someone From Either Town Started Taking Down That Wall Too Quickly, Even If It Is To Start A Friendship With The Other Town, The Other Town Would Consider It A Sign Of Agression And Get Mad. Now Then, If The Town Slowly Started Taking Down The Wall, Of Course People In The Other Town Would Be Scared, But Not Necessarily To The Point Of Attack. The Other Town Will Eventually Realize This Is A Sign Of Non-Agression. Then The Other Town Will Help Take Down The Wall, Creating A Friendship Between The Two Towns.

Metaphor Done. I'd Only Like People To Do It If I Didn't Even Realize It Was Happening. I Doubt That'll Be Easy, Concerning The Fact That I Know How People Work.

You know, I think I'm going to start talking to more people at my school. Not the preppies. Just the loners, the druggies, the goths, the others. Those who are more interesting to talk to, those who hide deep thoughts behind an outer facade. Yes. An experiment for myself.

I think you generalize too easily. There will always be exceptions. Maybe you just live among those who don't give you chances. On NS, you can share your thoughts easily because you don't really have to worry about physical impressions or social barriers - we don't know anything about you really, except for what you type.

I think someone will always be the first to initiate a friendship. Gahhhh.

Prepare To Face Many Dissapointments, Or Years Of Hard Working Making Friends. We Don't Want Our Inner, Dark Secrets To Be Known. You Would Have To Be As Close To One Of Those As Anyone Could Possibly Get In Order To Know Any Of Their Secrets. Even Then, They May Not Tell Anyone All Of Their Secrets.

I have my own "inner, dark secrets". And naturally, no one ever tells anyone EVERY SINGLE THING about themselves. I keep enough from my parents as it is. But again, you don't know me in person. LOL I think I'd surprise you. Or not. You'd probably just dismiss me :P

What kind of person are you at school? Do you ever speak up, or do you just sit, silently?

There will always be exceptions.
Which One Will Always Have Exceptions? Will Not All Loners Decide To Not Accept Friends? Or Do You Mean That All People Cannot Get Through To Loners? Either Way, It's Possible. But I've Never Met A Loner (Yes I Realize The Oxymoron In That Statement) Who Wants To Have Friends. And I've Never Met A Person Who Can Easily Get Through To A Loner.

Well, Loners Are Loners For A Reason. They Either Don't Want To Tell Anyone Anything About Themselves, Or They Have More Dark Secrets Than Usual. I Apply To Both. I Sit Silently. I Never Raise My Hand To Answer A Question. I Only Speak In Class If I Have To. During Lunch, I Stay In My Fourth Period Classroom Doing The Work For That Class So I Can Read The Whole Period. During Passing Periods, I Head Straight To My Next Class.

And I've Never Met A Person Who Can Easily Get Through To A Loner.

That's because you're not a loner. You don't belong. Loners talk to other loners. Law of the land.

Yet you talk to people on NS. So you're still seeking "human" companionship in a way, even it's just through words and the Internet.

Loners Don't Talk To Anyone. Why Would They Talk To Other Loners? Loners Don't Like To Hang Out With Other People, Even If Those People Don't Like To Hang Out With Other People.

Frankly, I don’t give a damn one way or the other. There are so many more important things to hate.

Curious, Ritlina. Do you have any siblings, or family that you talk to? I'm wondering what your life is like, besides the Internet and going to school. Unless that is all.

The Thing About The Internet Is No One Knows Who You Are. That's Whats So Wonderful About The Internet. Someone Finds Out Who You Are? Change Your Online Identity. Since No One Here Will Ever Know Who I Am In Real Life, And Never Be Able To Harm Me Emotionally With Any Information I Give On Here, I Find This Place A Perfect Way To Get Rid Of That Horrible Need That Is Social Interaction.

Ah yes, social interaction. I feel like a character on The Sims sometimes. Like I need to increase my social bar by going online. Heck, I'm doing that now, talking to you and other people.

But, I actually have met some people I call real friends online. I talk to some all the time on AIM, one boy has called me on my cell phone, another girl and I exchange letters. It just depends on how you are socially, whether you're not a pervert who preys on other people, and if you trust other people enough.

Good for you. Keep it up on NS. You have some good ideas and responses to other posts.

Also the Stupor Bowl (aka as the super bowl) is just a ploy to make people buy food, get fat, and then buy weight loss pills

And Are You A Loner? I Doubt It.

Ain't Gonna Work With Loners. If You Want To Become Friends With Someone Who Normally Wouldn't Want Any Friends, I Recommend You Examine Them At School Almost To The Point Of Stalking. Find Out What Their Hobbies Are, What Ever It May Be. Then, During A Lunch Period Or Something Of The Other, Find Them, Sit About 10 Meters Away From Them. Start Doing What Hobby Of Theirs They're Doing. They Will Tend To Look Around, So They Will Eventually See You. They Won't Automatically Come Up To You And Talk To You.

All right...this is seriously getting annoying.

Most loners just want a friend. You know...someone that'll see beyond the fact that they're ugly or slow or fat or smart or whatever.

This holds true even for those that have "embraced the darkness of their so dark and dreadful lives!" *Insert over-the-top head movement and back of hand to the forehead*

How do I know?

I used to be one. The one that would cower alone in the lunch room...the one that would sit with her nose in a book on the play ground, wondering when we could freaking go back inside and away from the dreadful light of the sun.

The one that wouldn't look anyone in the eye when they were speaking to her.

The one that thought that love was a lie. It was a fairy tale thing.

I get to High School, join some clubs, make some friends (you gotta step outta your shell at some point. Just to shake things up).

I've had a boyfriend or two...one was a bastard...the other a stalker. And so I'm finally like "screw it. Just screw it. I'll f-ing be alone."

Not five months later, someone tells me he likes me completely out of the blue. I'm going to meet him in less than a week...see how it goes.

You sulk, you pout, you're ~ *SO* ~ EMO!

But you're also very young. Widdle baby boy doesn't have the world figured out yet.

And he never will if he doesn't give it a chance.

He'll never give it a chance if he doesn't quit pouting, get some confidence, and get out there.

And that is my say on the subject.

And If You Say I Need Help To Fix My Lonerdom, Your Saying Being A Loner Is A Bad Thing. That Makes You Ignorant. Besides, Emo Kids Hang Out With One Another. I Hang Out With My Books.

I just don't understand your pessimism about life. Being a "loner" (ugh, we're overusing that word) isn't completely bad, but why don't you have any friends to begin with? Isnt there one person you can talk to?

Ok, So I Primarily Hate Valentines Day Because I Don't Have Anyone To Spend It With. That's Primarily Because My Standards Are WAY Too High. As In "Must Be This Intelligent In My Eyes". No One I've Met (Besides On Here) Has Met The Intelligence Standard. So Unless One Of You Feels Like Flying To Fairfield, California, I Really Don't Have Anyone To Spend Valentines Day With. And Besides, It IS A Conspiricy By Coporations To Make You Spend Money. But Tell Me, If Love Is Real, Why Is It That Married Couples, Who Vow To Love Each Other, Have A Cheating (In One Way Or Another) Rate Of 60%~? Why Is It That With Non-Married Couples, It's 75%~? So I Ask You, Is Love Real?

From The Post You Quoted Me From. I NEVER SAID LIFE SUCKS. I'm Not Pessimistic About Life. I Hope It Will Get Better. Of Course, Getting Better Means Still Having No Friends. Friends Tend To Be A Nuisance. Have To Get Stuff For Them On Birthdays. Have To Carry Them In Emotional Crisises. Yet They Never Do The Same For You. What's The Point?

[QUOTE=Ritlina]Umm... What? I've Tried Making Friends When My Lonerdom Periodically Collapses. It Never Works. QUOTE]

You asked me how I would go about making friends with someone. How did you try to "make friends when your lonerdom collapsed"? Try in high school. There are definitely more people like you there. If you won't give them chances, they won't give you chances either.

It is a holiday for consumerists, it aggrevates me intensely, all you do is pend money on stuff you dont want, like what is the girl your trying to "woo" going to do with a bear that says "i wuv you" or somthing stupid liek that, its a hoilday to make you spend extra bucks that you need for more important stuff

Yes I am. Always have been.

I don't always get my friends presents. And I welcome being there for them when they do occasionally get emotional because they WOULD do the same thing for me. But admittedly, sometimes if they're too obsessed or into themselves, I leave them alone until they're out of their whole depressed shell and okay again.

I never said you said life sucked. Are you mistaking me for someone else? I just said you seemed pessimistic about other people.

About Other People? Yes. They Deserve It. I Have Tried To Make Friends. IT DOESN'T WORK. I've Tried Many Times, I Got No Where. And For The Last Time, I DON'T WANT FRIENDS. Life Is Better For Me If I Don't Have Friends.

You are hopeless. On another note, the Emo Kids are multiplying...

Quit the caps on every word, it makes you look stupid.

I think being a loner is a bad thing because I was a loner in elementary school, before I grew about 2 feet, and put on about 100 pounds of muscle. Be a man, not a whiny teen. I made most of my friends once I joined the Squad, and got a bit of confidence(being some 6 feet tall and some 200 pounds'll do that for you).

Love is not an illusion. Love is something I am familiar with, in that I experience it every time I talk to the woman I fell in love with.

About Other People? Yes. They Deserve It. I Have Tried To Make Friends. IT DOESN'T WORK. I've Tried Many Times, I Got No Where. And For The Last Time, I DON'T WANT FRIENDS. Life Is Better For Me If I Don't Have Friends.

Do you think you have friends online? What do you consider a friend anyways? Seems to me you think they're nothing but useless, crappy baggage who want you to give everything of yourself with nothing in return.

I think you do want to have friends, in your preconscious (not SUBconscious) somewhere. If not now, at some point in your life later you will. Unless you commit suicide now and you never get the chance, of course.

I Do Have Friends Online. Considerably, Friends Online Are Drastically Different Then Real Life Friends. You Don't HAVE To Go Online And Face Them. You Could Get A New Identity, And They'll Never Know Its You.

Love is an illusion - only because it's not tangible. All feelings are illusions. Happiness, sadness, anger - you can't feel them, so it's easy to just dismiss them, yet we do experience those illusions. I would like to have love in my life, even it's an illusion.

It seems like you're contradicting yourself, Ritlina. You say you don't want friends, that you don't have friends. Then you say you have friends on NationStates. What do you mean by that? Are you considering us your friends only because we're "talking" to you, or are there other people on the forum who have said that they ARE your friends?

You're full of shit. If you didn't want friends, you wouldn't be talking to us, here. I think you're just not willing to admit it. And if you really don't want friends, then why don't you f--- off? Why do you continue having a conversation about it? Just f--- off! Be friendless. Who cares?

Love is always discovered to be an illusion... unless both people die simultaneously. Either they figure out that it's an illusion when they're alive or else one of them dies and the other one "falls in love" with some one else, the new person of course is their actual "true love"

Good Idea. Anyone Who Tries To Fall In Love Is Wasting Much Of Their Life. You'll Never Find Love, Since It Doesn't Exist.

It's really just another excuse to eat insane amounts of chocolate. Which I just realized I have none in the house. Damnit.

I might send that Fiddlebottoms fellow a Valentine though....

Listen Asshole. I Said I Don't Want REAL LIFE Friends! Friends On Here, NS, Aren't Real Life Friends. They're Internet Friends. There Is A Huge Different Between The Two.

Whoa.

I think friends are friends, doesn't matter how you know them, how you met them. Certainly, there is a difference in how you interact, but I don't think you just claim someone you've talked to a few times as your friend. There has to be some kind of connection.

not love in general... but the "being in love with someone" type

Ahh Yes! Send Fiddlebottoms All of Your Earthly Possesions And He Will Grant You Salvation!

Oh, Wait, You Still Believe In Love? Well Then, That's Some Respect Points Out The Window.

You can't TRY and fall in love. You just do.

Yeah, well, I posted at the same time as your reply. Forgive me for having only one instance of NS on my computer at one time. And your -sshole reply. You have zero social skills, that much is apparent. And now I understand why you don't want "real" friends; they don't want You. And I don't blame them. Because you're a total downer with nothing to give.

You're full of shit. If you didn't want friends, you wouldn't be talking to us, here. I think you're just not willing to admit it. And if you really don't want friends, then why don't you fuck off? Why do you continue having a conversation about it? Just fuck off! Be friendless. Who cares?

I would be careful. You don't want this thread locked I'm assuming.....

There Are Different Kinds Of Friends. You Have Friends Who You Meet With Nearly Daily. You Have Pen Pals, Who Write To Each Other Without Ever Seeing Each Other. You Have Forumites Like You And Me, Who Don't Know Each Other, Have Never Seen Each Other. There Is A Long List.

Oh, Wait, You Still Believe In Love? Well Then, That's Some Respect Points Out The Window.
Well it seems to me u love urself very well... or perhaps that's one of my weird crazily incorrect observations. Nobody is the perfect person for anyone.

Ahh Yes! Send Fiddlebottoms All of Your Earthly Possesions And He Will Grant You Salvation!

I'm sending you one too because I dig your typing.

Well Then, Even If I Have "Zero Social Skills", Aren't There Supposed To Be The Few People Who Will Try Their Best To Make Friends With People Like Me Who Have "Zero Social Skills", Who Try To Break Down The Barriers Set Up By A Person To The Outside World, Who Try To Get A Person To Stop Being A Loner? I'm Pretty Sure There Are. And I Hate Those People. And As I've Already Said, I Don't Need Nor Want Friends. If They Don't Want Me, It's All The Better. Hell, Even If I Didn't Have The NS Forums, I'd Still Be Happy.

And get gorgeous flowers :)!

Fiddlebottoms doesn't deserve a Valentine! He hates everyone....

And Why Exactly Do You Think I Believe He Deserves A Valentine?

Haha, aiming that one at me?

*coughjokecough*

A ploy by the corporations to make you spend money.Seconded.

I think a ceremony, rings, gifts for birthday/christmas/anniversary/etc., monetary & physical & emotional support, taking out the trash, putting the seat up/down, listening, cooking, cleaning, mowing the lawn, making lunch, seeing you first thing every morning, brushing my teeth, not farting (too much), etc, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year ought to get the point across clearly enough that "I love you!", whether or not I choose to buy a card/flowers/chocolate or whatever on someone else's idea of a romantic day. (bitch!)

We may try, yes. But if you keep offing us and offing us, fighting us, we will eventually give up. And you will remain friendless. And despite your thinking you don't want friends, I think you need friends. And despite me hating your guts, I like you. But you don't want friends. And so what should I do? I should go find someone who wants to be friends. It's a lot more fun that way.

I can respect people. I don't know where the whole like and dislike thing comes in. I respect Ritlina because he is himself, even if he does only claim to have online friends, and he does have good ideas about many topics.

Hmmmm. Let's all hold hands and dance in a circle, spreading flowers and good cheer while our hair flows long and free. *cough more sarcasm cough*

Yeah, We Keep Offing You Because We Don't Need Nor Want Friends. You Think We Need Friends? Why? Tell Me Why We Need Friends! I See Absolutetly NO Reason For Us To Have Friends.

Someone to watch your back, help you drain a two four on the weekend, and fly wingman for you when you're at the bar.

I Hate Drinking. Watch My Back? Chances Are They'll Be Asking Me To Watch Their Back Most Of The Time. Chances Are They'll Be Asking Me To Help Them In Every Single Little Thing. Chances Are By Helping Them, I'll Get Myself Screwed Over.

They. They. They. Maybe it just means you hypothetically picked pretty messed up friends. Not even friends. Just people who live off you like parasites. Heard once, friends are like bras. They give support where you most need it. My friends are wonderful bras to me, if I had friends like what you described above, they probably weren't friends to begin with.
