Home. Welp college was a pain, same 5 people picking on me patronisingly....after 1.5 years you'd think i'd have gotten used to it tbh.

@cavatina what do these people do? you can tell us, is it like what i had where they dont find something specific and just bully you? or do they have a hook to latch on to?
Monday, 05-Mar-12 17:12:54 UTC from web-
@purplephish20 Just anything random.
Monday, 05-Mar-12 17:14:12 UTC from web-
@cavatina but what is random? I was always the unathletic small guy so that was something for them to play on with me

@purplephish20 I'm the loud but reclused nerd that listens to weird music and is having trouble keeping up with the smart***s

@cavatina :sigh: #hugs people are mangoess, that will never change in life, and just remember to try your best to let it fly by, i used to be confrontational, and i can just say that giving them the satisfaction that theyre getting to you is a BAD thing to do and will only motivate them to do it more

@cavatina @purplephish20 I'm sort of the same, only I try and fit in and gets it straight back in my face.

@scribbs @purplephish20 I had a phase where I tried to fit in Year 7, pretended to enjoy fighting, football, the whole lot...but it only made me even MORE awkward than I was before, because I was trying to pretend to be someone else, and I am not a natrual born actor by any stretch of the imagination.

@leonkfox It's not that bad for me, considering I'm on an IT course, but I don't have the exact same tastes.
Monday, 05-Mar-12 17:24:27 UTC from web-
@scribbs I was mostly okay on I.T Courses, but this is circa Year 10 and 11, Years 7 through to 9 I was almost always in awkward classes, the only ones I liked were those made for...as much as I hate saying this, people like myself. I was in a bottom set English and Science class until Year 10 because of it, then I went up to 1st and 2nd sets respectivley.

@leonkfox i know that feel too...
Monday, 05-Mar-12 17:31:57 UTC from web -
@leonkfox Same here, IT, Media Studies and, in some ways, English were my main interests, but the people I had to work with were just, yeah, not on the same level as me.
Monday, 05-Mar-12 17:32:34 UTC from web-
@scribbs Which is why i went solo for all 3 projects. I knew off the bat i'd ruin everything if i gave the other people a chance. so i didnt.

@scribbs You can ask to be out of a group...thats what i did. i'm assertive in that way only.
Monday, 05-Mar-12 17:35:48 UTC from web-
@cavatina I never have the strength to ask out of a group, and even then, more than likely the answer will be 'no', even if it's with people I hate. (Such as at the beginning of the first year)

@leonkfox I had that phase for most of my life..
Monday, 05-Mar-12 17:27:05 UTC from web-
@cavatina Sorry to hear that. I stopped it after a few months, because it was actually making things worse rather than improving them. Trying to pretend to be interested in football was the hardest bit, I even got a season ticket to go and watch Bristol Rovers games with my cousin, late grandad and uncle to see if family could help me genuinly get into it...but it didn't. Well, can't say I didn't try, right?

@purplephish20 Exactly ;)

@purplephish20 I don't judge people who enjoy sport, I do take issue when people that do take it too seriously and fight over it though, or give me stick for not liking it etc. And I must confess I do enjoy professional wrestling a lot which emulates several sports into sort of a theatrical esque show, if that makes any sense.

@purplephish20 I'm a bit of an Attitude Era mark, I must admit, and I did take a 6 year break from Summerslam 2005 to February of last year, news of Rock's return motivated me to watch my first RAW episode in nearly 6 years the week after, and I've been back into it properly ever since, and not just for the odd Rock appearance, I honestly do enjoy it even if not as much as the Attitude Era.

@leonkfox i do admittedly enjoy watching football live...but i dont know what it is. Its F*** boring on TV, or even watching a game in a small crowd....i also only like it if the stadium is good...so maybe its my fascination with architecture? and the atmosphere too i guess
Monday, 05-Mar-12 17:33:25 UTC from web-
@cavatina I can sort of understand the atmosphere thing, but I felt like an onlooker to it even though. I want to go to a wrestling event with a lively crowd one day to experience it properly.
-
@leonkfox Yeah...tis my reason for wanting to go and see people like Deadmau5 live...not for the music, its the crowd and the show he puts on...my god

@purplephish20 @cavatina For me it was usually my accent, or the fact that I liked Sonic games and was generally awkward around "normal" people, which I still am to be perfectly honest. Also had this one guy who was big enough to go on a TV documentary saying I had a big head or some apples, which was hyprocritical to say the least. Bar for a few friends I made in Years 10 and 11 and some nice teachers I absolutley hated secondary school.

@leonkfox Oh and that reemindss me. @purplephish20 i have Aspergers Syndrome, ADHD too. Therefore, i am quite a strange person. I'm a veryyy easy target...
Monday, 05-Mar-12 17:18:48 UTC from web-
@cavatina @purplephish20 Yeah, the Aspergers probably didn't do me any favours, can't say I have ADHD though.
-
@cavatina @leonkfox i always wonder if i have some sort of dissorder like that... are there any test or anything?
Monday, 05-Mar-12 17:20:55 UTC from web-
@purplephish20 I was tested for it when I was like 5, totally forget what the test is though. So yes, there are. xD
Monday, 05-Mar-12 17:22:09 UTC from web -
@purplephish20 No, it's not something like say (as morbid as this may be) a brain tumour which has an objective, physical means of being diagnosed, it's entirley phsycological. (Spelling on that last word may be off)

@cavatina @leonkfox i never speak of this as its a phase in my life i would rather forget, but for quite a while a few years ago, i used to box..... a lot.... I was obsessed with boxing, I started through the motivation of toughening up (and the stupid inspiration of seeing rocky 2) and fighting back a bit... regardless of what you hear about boxing supposedly being disciplined and a gentlemans sport, its not. Its brainless and violent, and i learnt that first hand. it ruined me phychologicaly for a few years and I f****d up a massive amount of school because of it, socialy and academically. sure it made me built like a brick dole-house for a few years... but it made me a papayas

@cavatina wait - picking on you? In college? Did anyone tell them they're in college? That they should be too busy doing their work to worry themselves over bothering you? Like, really? And I thought I had free time.
Monday, 05-Mar-12 17:13:24 UTC from web-
@crusader8 Picking on me cause ironically they have free time, cause they are smarter than me.
Monday, 05-Mar-12 17:14:37 UTC from web-
@cavatina people are smarter and talented than me all the time.Like, it's the norm. But when some starts something with me, I let them know they have more pressing matters to attend to, and that if they can only view their immediate needs in terms of instant gratification that they're already wasting their own time as much mine. Then I remind them that I myself have more important things to do than to sit and hear out their garbage, because I could be doing something more productive. I am not kidding either, when I'm at the butt end of this stuff I will just start lecturing the guy. I had enough of it in middle school so I have a distate for childish nonsense.

@crusader8 that depends on whether it's college as in those two years after secondary school in british education, which people go to in order to avoid getting a job as much as they do for further education, or college as in university
