do not be a slave to your emotions. i consider my emotions to be highly irrelevant. at most they get in the way of things that must be done. this kind of attitude will make it easier to stomp baby seal skulls when the situation demands it (or detonating warheads over large population centers for that matter). so stop being a bunch of emo dicks, and just focus on being dicks.

You're like Master Yoda. At least a dark side of the force version of Yoda. And you make Palpatine look like a moron, who haven't grasped yet, what it means to be truly evil.

I don't crutch myself to something or someone to make me happy. Afterall, what happens when it's removed? You lose the crutch and you fall down the cliff to your utter demise until you find another crutch. I strive to be happy without having something else make me happy. It's not working too good, but at least I don't get derailed if something goes wrong. Shrug it off and continue

What about kittens? How could kittens not make you feel happy? Somebody get this man a kitten picture!

Don't even get me started on those loud, annoying, obnoxious, ham-stealing, butter-licking, bread-eating, chair-destroying, scratching, shedding, biting, keyboard-walking creatures. 
The worst thing is, it's difficult to be angry at them for long, since after they destroy half of your house, they come to you with their puppy eyes and pretend nothing has happened.
BTW, in case I haven't mentioned, I live in a cattery. Anybody wants a Maine Coon (As soon as we have any for sale, that is. We're out of kittens as of now)?

i think the thing i like most about cats is how evil they are. i dont see how i go to flick him in the nose for chewing up my headphones, but only manage to get as far as wubbing his bewwy. i mean seriously they use their cuteness to get away with atrocious behavior. if hitler was a cat we would have just wubbed his bewwy and gave him back all the nations he conquered and a bag of catnip to boot.

To crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

You're a little late, Kara.

****! I saw the thread title and hoped I could post that before someone else. Bravo, sir. Bravo.

As for what makes me happy, that's debatable. But I can tell you what makes me unhappy; other pop-culture nerds jumping on jokes before I can post them.

That said, I'm actually rather comforted that I'm among so many likeminded souls that all think of the same damn gag at the same time.

Hanging with my buddies and following my plans and dreams make me happy.

Sounds like you're truly in love

[haloboy100]

I'm the same as you, Nemesis. Except I'm 17, so at least you probably have an excuse. and I'm finding it increasingly hard to even distract myself.

[Mars]

I suspect a lot of people are depressed at 17.

Every time I stop to think about it I'm happy, most of the time I think I'm too busy to notice - which is probably why I'm happy. Voltaire had a point.

[haloboy100]

I gotta ask - why do you suspect that? Maybe it's different where you live, all the kids I talk to are either fake-sad emo kids or just too ignorant to be sad about life. Whenever I try to talk about how I feel I get ridiculed for being different and pessimistic.

i didnt start getting depressed until well into adulthood. i mean they told me i was depressed, and they gave me pills for depression. id stack my meth pills for the weekends and it was quite fun. but generally speaking i wasnt totally depressed. in the late 90s we had goth kids (though the music they listened to equally ****ty as emo is), but i hung with the metalheads. everyone thought i had potential (foolish humans!), so at the time i had a good outlook. nah **** didnt start getting bad till later, like when i started working.

[Flipside]

Ah work, the consumer of souls.

I remember a manager once accused me of having Anger Management issues, to which I replied "Yes, just about everything Management does makes me angry."

^ this

thing is when you are at a young age it is easy to get help with mental issues, so if you have any of them its good to be young. but then you grow up and get a job, and that job doesnt have a health plan, and even if it did you couldnt afford it cause you are a newb and dont make a lot of money. for physical health issues its less of a problem, because you have the bonus of youth, but if you were crazy you get completely cut off from professional help that you were receiving things can go horribly, horribly wrong. of course add to that the fact that you are always tired, and you dont have time for relationships because you have to work weekends to eat. and if your relations with coworkers are bad then you are pretty much in a ****ty situation and have the potential to go nuclear as it were.

[haloboy100]

Funny, because I was referred to a mental health clinic after a bit of a breakdown a few months ago. I saw them once, at the end all they told me was that I "wasn't clinically psychotic" and that's the last I ever heard from them.
Either I'm missing something, or the school counselor referred me to the wrong people.
