May I post sg what I wrote approx. a year ago?
(If so, I'll ask someone to translate it)

[castor]

I present you my greatest worry what nothing was able to change so far: a lack of faith in myself, and, mostly, in my abilities.

Hey look around a bit. What do you see? A big proportion of the world and people on it.. a ****ed up mess.
Whatever you do, you couldn' t possibly do much worse. Just cheer up!

You know, on the other hand, low self-esteem is very trendy.

You should nurture it and then find a nice girl with equally low self-esteem.

I don't want to turn into an emo yet.

Well, thanks for cheering me up guys Started to write a short sory about a psychiatrist with a patient who thinks that has to p ecret information regarding a government conspiracy revolving around a Lithuanian farmer and his bedroom.

I'll post it if done. Never wrote anything as silly as that before...

Lithuanian farmer

ShadowGorrath?

Lithuanian farmer

ShadowGorrath?

Not necessarily

[Daniel P]

don't worry It took me about a year to figure out Fred.

I still suck at making Freespace ships. (But I am doing better)

Here is a tip: Always think positive thoughts.

F**k you.

my solution to the negativity issue is to be a bigger asshole than anyone who may judge you

I'm 36 and still feel that way, don't sweat it kid! Eventually you'll get by on people thinking your good at something. Most people in my circle believe I know about computers, I know a few things, but not a fraction of some people know on this forum! Keep visiting sites like this and learn all you can like myself. Believe me, HLP can be an education at times.

Indeed. For example, prior to reading this thread, I had no idea Androgeos Exeunt was Asian.

- never released corkroaches during a math lesson
- never smoked a cigar yet
- never ever "forgot" to attend on a lesson
- never cheated on exams

Sounds like me, except I'm 18

Seriously, your only 14 years old dude, I think I just _started_ learning how to program at about that age, unless you count my repeated failures with triggers in the age of mythology map editor when I was 11 xD

All you have to do is try things until you find something you really like doing, then consistently practice in that discipline while still exploring other possibilities. I never considered drawing as a possibility for me, but sadly if I had only started doing it earlier I wouldn't totally fail at it like I do now. I still draw, though. Just keep working at it - if everyone was a child prodigy then they wouldn't be particularly special.

Here is a tip: Always think positive thoughts.

That is useless information. No one can always think positive thoughts. The key is realizing that negative thoughts can be inflamed and illusionary, and to take them with a grain of salt. The impossible is not always as ridiculous as it seems.

I wouldn't enjoy reading my own stories

You think I enjoy listening to my music?

[NGTM-1R]

As for myself, I prefer a state of apathy about the thoughts and to some degree concerns of others. It is indistingushable externally from self-confidence, but perhaps harder-won, and certainly something very different internally.

I wouldn't enjoy reading my own stories

Funny; I can't say I actually enjoy reading my own work, but I frequently do anyways.

- never ever "forgot" to attend on a lesson

Reminds me of that time in year 10 when I was going to English and somehow completely messed up my thoughts, causing me to go to Drama instead. I finally got to English though, and fortunately I didn't get into any trouble.

I catch myself feeling down sometimes, and thoughts like yours are pretty normal for me, too.

Word of advice (from someone only 2 years older than you) Don't ever let yourself get into depression. I almost went as far as calling the ledge my friend. o_o Scary thought.

Anyways, Blackhole is right. Just keep looking for that one thing you like to do the most.

Always think positive? Nah, I think negatively all the time, most of the time it's directed at others though.

I enjoy looking at some of my work. (graphic art)


Also, you're still young. And me... well I'll be facing my future in 2 more years, hopefully. =/

This thread is like a big internet group hug.

I find that just a little pathetic.

You being one of the "others" that Pred directs his negative thoughts towards.

[iamzack]

I will absorb his negative thoughts and then produce a negativity ray gun. And then I will go after motivational speakers.

[Pred the Penguin]

My negative thoughts are directed at Taiwanese and Chinese...
The thing about the Internet is that we can all "hug" each other without fear of repercussions, at least that's the way it used to be. =/
Anyways, if someone asked for help in real life, they wouldn't get a fraction of the sympathy they do here, unless they had really good friends. Stuff like this can help you out, even if it's... pathetic.
