So true ....

I don't see the topless pictures or evidence she put out either :O

Also, with regards to bullying. 99% of the forum are some kind of geek. Almost every geek is going to receive it and subsequently dish it back out in one form or another. The same goes for non geeks too. The difference between banter and bullying is how you feel about receiving it. Whether people get over it or not, it doesn't matter. It is a fact of life.

The issue with response to offence is nothing to do with physical superiorty, it is about the will to act. Some people give as good as they get. Other people just bottle up and take it until they snap. No matter how bad you think your first world problems are, there will always be someone out there who had it worse. It is the way it is and the way it has to be for the greater balance of the world and beyond. You are temporarily on the shitty end of the greater cosmic joke in which we are all caretakers of the universe keeping the environment changing and the wheels turning so this realm can persist a good long time before the next. The big bang wasn't an explosion, it was an implosion and after entropy has had its way you can bet your arse there will be more to follow.

People may understand the concept of yinyang or balance, but it sits in the back of their minds. When you do some introspection and finally have an epiphany and the answer and underderstanding is of your own conclusion, it is a universal truth which both penetrates and binds you so much so it will open your eyes and you won't see the drama of these problems in the same way ever again.

Oh and Theguyatthekeyboard. There are a good number of people with Autism/Asperger's here, myself included. Welcome to the club!

 

My childhood was really fucked up, everything between ages 6 and 16 was basically hell with parents drinking, divorcing, school being the worst because I was basically bullied for 10 years. Why? I was slightly smaller than everyone else. At one point, honestly the only reason I didn´t kill myself was that my self-esteem was so low that I really didn´t think I would succeed in a suicide.

Anyways, the bullying only happened between classes in school and eventually I found a way to hide such that no other kid would find me between classes. They never really wanted to bully me badly enough to totally stop doing other things and really concentrate on looking for me. Then at one point they stopped really caring for me at all. One turning point in my life was when a person in a shop smiled at me and seemed friendly. I was confused. Why would anyone do that? Do they think I am a person?

Still, I couldn´t deal with people before meeting my current wife. And I could only have met her because of alcohol making me a little bit braver. Gradually during the years I started to feel like I am just another human being. It was a slow process. Now I´m quite happy



I think computer and console games were also playing a big part in my recovery. I had fantasy worlds to escape to. Probably without them I would have totally lost my sanity.

 

Obviously you're an idiot, that's all that can be said about this statement above.
