You can't control how people behave. You can only control how you behave.

I have had all of your troubles and more. I want to hug you and tell you it will all be OK.

This is not about me. It's about you. If you want different things out of life than what you've gotten (which has never been fair) then YOU must change. The world will always have people in it that suck.

But not all people suck.

Cut your hair, buy a new outfit and a different shade of lipstick. Then go to an event that you have never been to before. Focus your mind on having fun. Make new friends even if it's only for the duration of the event you are at.
Like attracts like. You be the kind of person you would want to meet and someone with the traits you are displaying will come forth when you least expect it. YOU CAN ONLY CHANGE YOURSELF. Forget all the S---T and lousy people you have met. That is the past. It is up to you and your attitude too make the future what YOU want it to be. GO GET 'EM GIRL. SHINE THEM PEARLY WHITES with a great big smile. You gotta make it easy for the right people to find you. Smile be happy-Change your mind and change your life. It is up to you. I'll be praying for you! Peace Out
Thank you and I agree with you. This is what I've been trying to do this whole time ever since I started this thread. I have been doing and trying out a lot of NEW things on my own - I traveled to Mexico by myself on vacation. I have gone to new places I had not gone to before to meet new people. I have talked on this thread about wanting to branch out from my music scene, and I am slowly but surely working towards it. I talked about quitting smoking, and I did it. I AM already changing me and I don't need to be told this. That has been my entire purpose - my first post on this thread was that I need a life overhaul - well, that entails changing ME, my habits, and my behaviors. But this is lifelong conditioning and habits that I am trying to UNDO - and that takes TIME.... BABY STEPS.

That's what this whole entire thread has been about - changing... that doesn't just happen overnight. I know you mean well, but I don't think you get that this is what I am trying to accomplish.

Also, I am 54 years old and have been around the block for decades, so yes, I can say with certainty that most people DO suck. I've traveled across the globe to various different countries, and I have lived in many different states across the United States. I have met loads of people, and I have been interacting online for YEARS. Most people are oblivious about themselves and their behavior, and most are simply followers of the masses without thinking for themselves. Most people lack critical thinking skills and are not evolved to self individuation. Most people don't even like themselves and act out their self hatred or disdain.

Again, I know you mean well and I am not jumping down your throat - I am simply responding to what you wrote.
