Whenever I think of Zimbabwe I always wonder why can't someone from within the country stand up, find a weapon and put a few bullets through Mr Mugabe's heart. Golden chance to become a martyr. At least the impression that the outside world gets is that this person is the root cause of all the problems in that country.

Especially cunts that complain about reasonable (not the sponsoring retarded shit thing) spending on Maori culture, they're normally the dullest. Why do they teach music in school? Time better spent on Math. Get rid of history while you're at it, and make economics compulsory.

You managed to leave the country with your lowered IQ and self esteem? Congratulations there buddy.

But you've got a seriously fucked up view of what culture is, if you believe NZ culture would lack more if we removed funding from the Maori language in place of embracing the fact that we're entirely multi cultural and instead of giving reason for separatists to exist, trying to merge all cultures and fund people equally.

Why should I learn Maori in primary school if they're not going to teach me Tongan, Chinese or Korean?

Seriously, go back to fucking school, kid - your views on the world are utterly fucked.

Alright, i've been civil to you long enough fuck face. Guess what you cunt, how many people have me on ignore? How many people have you? You know why? Cause you're both arrogant, and fucking retarded. And those two are tolerable by themselves, but together, just make you a terrible person.

Welcome to the ignore list. No idea why you haven't been banned yet. AB is far too tolerant. This is a small forum, trash should be removed when it's clearly just that. And you are.

You're such an internet tough guy. I bet you're a real fucking pussy in real life that's for sure. Congrats to you on being a smug dick on the internet. You're really original, it's hardly been done before.

Edit - Ohhh and you're on ignore now. So I get the last word. Eat a dick faggot. Not that you need any encouragement.

And yeah yeah troll bite etc. Im aware that he's a cunt on purpose. But it feels good to rage on anonymous people on the net sometimes. And rarely is someone more deserving than this idiot.

Bring on the livejournal!

Nothing quite beats the feeling of realising you have no one to talk to when a close family member has passed away.
Mention to who I thought were my closest friends that I'm going to be at a family member's funeral on Thursday, and get no reply other than acknowledgement. So I turn to someone else, yet they use it as an opportunity to talk bout a funeral they went to and then bugger off.. so that's another dead-end. I don't have a lot of close friends, but I expected more. Fuck

What gets me the most is that I thought I'm a good friend. I sit through their complaints and problems, I take the time to listen and to make them feel better.. but when it comes to me needing someone, I'm eventually led to bitching on some forums!

Keeping a journal isn't a bad idea, just get it out of the system and as much as it sounds cliche, just try to remember the positive times, it does help.

As for your friends, don't be too tough on them, it can be a tough situation and many just simply don't know how to respond, my guess is they haven't had to go through a similar situation so can't relate to what you're going through.

You obviously haven't seen too many of me and CSS's bitch fights hehe.

Yeah I like how little moderation these forums have. And i'm all for flaming. As my extremely liberal usage of words such as fucktard shows. And I can't think of anyone i've ignored on this forum or any other. But when someone is ignored by basically half of the forum. It's gotta show they aren't a very funny or entertaining troll.

Yeah that sucks. All of my support was from my family and partner. Didn't really feel comfortable talking about it with my mates. Not that I don't think they'd have listened if I did. Can you talk to your family about it?

Nightcrawler · 22nd July 2008, 15:25

Family is out of the question.. it's just not that type of relationship. I don't have a girlfriend, so it really only leaves my friends. I don't expect some heart-to-heart shit, but even just one of them to say they're sorry or to ask if I was ok would be something at least - just some sort of acknowledgment that I have friends who actually care that this is happening to me etc

Right now that last line is telling me the most about the people who I considered friends

ePi · 22nd July 2008, 15:35

Nightcrawler, have you tried asking one of them if you can talk to them about it, rather than waiting on them to ask you?

flic · 22nd July 2008, 15:41

Most people struggle with knowing what to say, so don't say anything.

Don't take it that they don't care.

Give them a chance to give you the support you're looking for. Even if it means asking for it from them.

Give it another shot.

I know I would struggle with knowing what to say at a time like that. It doesn't mean I don't care, it just means that it's not an easy thing to do.

If they feel happy coming to you and spilling their guts, they should be receptive to you doing likewise. If they don't, and the stuff they've spoken to you about previously has been no more deep than "my grades at Uni suck, dude" and "chitchats are soooo better than timtams" then you probably don't have the sort of emotional depth in the friendship for them to feel comfortable discussing that sort of thing.

Incidentally, the journal idea actually works. It is nice to have people around to talk to, but you don't need them. At times in your life you won't be able to rely on any sort of support, so it pays to have the coping mechanisms up and running by then - sad as it sounds.

Nightcrawler · 22nd July 2008, 15:51

I can understand people not wanting to talk about it, or knowing how. But fuck. A simple "sorry" does go a long way, or even cracking open a beer. I never thought that was too much to expect, but I guess I'm wrong?
Other shit is happening and it's starting to pile up.. maybe I'm just starting to break down

ChaosWulf - talks have ranged from "I was molested as a child and haven't told anyone" to "my parents broke up due to my dad cheating on my mum" and so on.. pretty deep stuff to me (also included their own relatives passing away)

Should stop complaining now, cheers for the replies

Ok, that clarifies things. You're THEIR crisis friend, the rock they turn to when they need to dump their shit, because you appear to be moderately in control and a good listener. The thought that you may require their help has probably rocked their little worlds to the core, and they're coping by pretending they didn't hear anything.

I used to have a lot of friends like this, got rid of the lot of them. I'm not suggesting anything so drastic, but if the empathy part of the friendship is a one way street, you can do a lot better.

i've never used ignore on a forum

its about as childish as covering your ears whilst shouting "cant hear you!"

and it amuses me when people put someone on ignore
that they feel compelled to announce it to everyone:

"I am putting you on ignore...i cant handle conflict or different views...I am covering my ears...everyone should think like i do, so here is a link so that others may put you on ignore too...my e-penis is growing...i may temporarily take you off ignore to see if you are talking about me...but you'll be back on ignore because thats the box i fit you in...if someone quotes you i shall be deeply offended that someone else didnt respect my ignore list...how dare you!...you must think like i do..."
