Forums - General Discussion - Best and worst times of your life

Well I have been striving to become a better person in recent times (in part fueled by a certain movie with good values, though it predates that), and to try to be nice to people and help them when they're not feeling well. As I said, I'm not good at it. But it's in the attempt that you find real value.

I just can't take it as a joke when someone says "everyday is my worst day". Well I guess maybe it depends on context, but this thread isn't the kind of context I'll take to that potential irony lightly... and you know, sometimes it really is as simple as someone telling you that it's fine. Sometimes just a couple of simple words from someone you don't know can make you feel a lot better, and that's what I'm counting on.

Lol, hear I am making an effort to try to be less of a dick on these forums, and I start a reply chain in just about every thread. 

It's ok dude. I was just making a correction. I'm not offended or anything.

Best: Buying a ps2 in one of spring 2001's first shipments to funcoland after pre ordering a console a few months prior after missing out at launch. 

Worst: my first marriage.



My best was last summer, where I spent a month in China studying abroad and having fun and drinking. Best month ever. So much fun and memories and friends and good times.

My worst? Mhm. Maybe 8th or 9th grade? One of those was freaking miserable.

I'm not saying you were offended.

You told me not to try to make people feel better. Not in those words of course, but that's how I read it. I was offended, so I tried to make my point clear. Either way, I have noticed a trend of you eventually thinking someone's annoyed or "defensive" if a discussion goes on for too long, I recommend you work on that... and watch the movie, too.

I was just clearing the air. Also, you yourself are admitting you got defensive. I didn't assume you were getting defensive, i'm just saying that i've been an asshole before which caused big reply chains, and I don't want to be like that, and unfortunately this became a big reply chain, which makes me look like an asshole when really I was just giving some friendly advice. I would stop replying, but you keep saying stuff that warrants a reply. Anyways, I don't think it's a good idea to use a marvel movie as the basis for correcting someone on how they feel. In general the whole "don't feel this way" or "it's not that bad!" attitude is overplayed and it doesn't solve anything. But that's all I have to say , i'm just giving free friendly advice.

The thing is : They don't come off rough though. They were simple and easy to understand. Your original reply to the post was literally "*sigh* Don't be that dude, dude." If you were trying to be helpful, then I would say that was "rough". I don't know how posting "don't tell someone how to feel" or "just telling them that everything is fine doesn't make it better" is rough.... seems pretty easy to understand and not rude at all. It's like your trying to defend yourself by making up stuff. 

 

I didn't say anything against you trying to be a better person, that's cool. I just said that your original reply(which honestly sounded more like telling someone not to be emo, then something i'd assume is helpful in connotation) was a bit janky. This is all probably pointless though, because I doubt the person was being serious. Even if they were though, I don't feel like talking on their behalf. I'm merely communicating that telling other people how to post how they feel, or to cheer them up by saying "everything is fine" is dismissive, and it doesn't help. Either way, a mod will probably yell at us both, or ban us both for being off topic

Oh well, I'm just being honest, not trying to be a douche. I really didn't expect one correction to blow up like this, but you seem hellbent on defending yourself. I'm not making fun of your movie either, there's a lot of entertainment that can strive us to be a better person but it feels out of place in this discussion.

Best, when I was like 13-15, early secondary school/GCSE, no cares, great friends etc.

Worst, 2010. In general, a few too many bad things happened that year.



Hmm, pie.

Best moment: Meeting Britney Spears in person, even if it was for just a few seconds! =D

Worst times: Being homeless in 2011. I wouldn't recommend it.

Being in school was also great. I didn't have any serious worries whatsoever and life was pretty much all fun. Sadly, I didn't knew back then that life only gets worse when you get older. You think everything will be great once you earn money and can buy whatever you want and stuff. Turns out you don't have the time for doing just that plus you have to take care of paying your rent, paying taxes and all that shit. Ugh.

If you're in school right now, you better fucking enjoy that time as it will never come back! Just sayin'.



Official member of VGC's Nintendo family, approved by the one and only RolStoppable. I feel honored.

I have no idea what to write, because every bad thing has its good things. And every good thing has its bad things.

For example: The best time was when my father died, because the suffering finally ended. The worst time is when my father died, because I had no father anymore.

Or... The worst time was when I scewed up my chance of ever being able to study on a university. But at the same time its the best thing that happened to me. I took a different path for my career and so far I get 40k € a year, got a car by the company which I can use in private, got a home office contract and this is by far not the end of it. People like me are really hard to find on the market so they pay much better.

So... :/

Best was I guess the carefree childhood from 7 to 12 year old.

Worst was after highschool and in college at age of 18 to 20 cos parents treated me like shit.



My Etsy store

My Ebay store

Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

Best: When I was 5-6-7 years old. I don't know how good it actually was, but I have great memories of that time.

Worst: July 20th 2010 and the months after that, when my parents divorced.
