i think it's a necessary part of an individual's personal development. the problem is that most parent's are really not comfortable talking to their kids about the fact that they thought about taking themselves out at some point and would hope their children aren't feeling the same kind of desolation. as a result the social message is 'it's wrong to think about it (because we're too uncomfortable with the topic to address it)'.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to depress everybody. I just needed to unload. I don't really have any outlet or much of anybody to talk to. I don't usually go off the deep end like that, but as I said, I'd been drinking. And anyways, maybe I can become ingrained into this forum and get to know some new people at some point :)

It's definitely the complete norm for me.

Don't apologise, it's what forums like this are for. I just hate it when people feel as bad as you do, always wish there was something I could do.. but yeah you should stick around, it's not bad on here but I just don't get on here often.

So, me and my best friend..let's just call him Dustin had one of our best friends pass away this week..he was a 21 year Air Force veteran and was pretty much our dad. Thursday night we had the memorial. We got home and decided to open up our "Dads" newly purchased jug of Captain Morgans. We got to 9 shots each pledging every one to our dear friend. Tactically taking 5 minutes in between each shot and eating pop-tarts we were able to successfully watch Schindler's List all night, laugh our asses off at the sarcastic jew killing nazi's, and wake up the next morning without even a trace of a headache. All in all it was an outstanding night, we got to celebrate the life of the greatest man we've ever known, watch one of the funniest movies ever made, get more ****ed up than ever before, and wake up the next morning feeling like new again.

I've been eating french fries for breakfast for around 2 weeks now.

:yikes:

No no...not possible. I tried some liver pate once when I was a child, and that stuff is vile. Even if I didn't have a shred of decency and compassion for other animals, I would NEVER eat foie gras.

This guy has been infatuated with me for months now, and I have no romantic interest in him whatsoever. I'm unable to let him down because I feel so bad about the whole situation, so every time it seems like he's about to say something I make up something so I don't have to talk to him anymore.

Today it was that I had to go back to the theatre because I left my ID and money there. I didn't. I just really don't want to get to the point where I absolutely have to say, "Look, you're a good friend, but I'm not interested, and I'm sorry," or lie and pretend to return the feelings.

I feel like a total douche.

If you feel you've given him a proper chance, I'd say let him off as soon as you can. It's usually only as awkward as you make it and it's better that you let him know sooner rather than later. Guys don't know how to look for signals very well, so you'll probably have to be direct but soft. Make sure he knows you enjoy his company as a friend but don't harbor those kinds of feelings toward him. And hide every let down between two compliments.

Just my 2 cents
