I was wondering because my people skills aren't that good now that I think about them. I laugh at people a lot because I find some stuff very funny, but I don't know why. I laugh at one of my friends everytime he breaks up with a girl. I don't know why, prehaps because I see it coming from day one, plus I could give a crap about most relationships in the teens. They never work out and there are so many lies I see in it. I have a fifth sense about this (smelling and taste are so close to the same thing, they are connected) about girls and their ways. I knew the second that my sister became a ragingbitch (nice name drop) and a drunk. It was sort of like a spidy sense, I even that "She is going to be a bitch for now on". I was right. This also happened with my friend's first girlfriend who said that I was gay. I knew this wouldn't work out. In fact sadly it blew up in my friend's face when she returned. Sort of a personnal story that I am not going share. But I do remember the highlight. That was the week I got quake2. I laugh at a lot of stuff I should not be laughing at. I know I shouldn't, but I still find it very funny for unknown reasons. I can remember stuff I didn't find funny years ago and laugh at them now. Like one of my friend's girlfriend who cut her arm up and her favourite band was hanson. I don't think that I am a very good person for doing all of these things. I remember when my friend called to tell me his dog died, and when he mentioned the dog's name I made a joke about it. That is only the begining to this. There are many more things that I do that could be consider bad. I do have a lack of "Family Values" because I can't be forced to love something. Also I don't have a family that is exactly successful. I just don't want to end up like most of my family is. My mother side of the family is the only susessful part of my family. But, I still want to be more. I have great problems with who to respect. I don't thinking that aging is that great for any respect, living isn't that hard. When ever I am forced to do something I completely lose any effort I was willing to put in it. What ever I lie to them is just another way that I say "f*ck off". If I did say that word when ever I thought it, my tongue would lose all ability to say it. I do not know why I am this way. I find humour in stuff that other people don't. I don't see what is so bad about it. ------------------ now chthonic life has set its sights on making me a slave to its ways [This message has been edited by JoJo (edited 07-06-2000).]

From what you've just said about your friends' girlfriends, maybe you're just a bit pessimistic and you just happened to be right those times. Teenage relationships aren't a waste of time. If you don't get over the 'can you ask Mary out for me, cause I'm too nervous' stage when you're a teenager, then you're going to do it when you're 25.There's nothing wrong with finding certain things amusing that other people don't. People have different senses of humor- some people find slapstick funny, others think it's gross to laugh at other peoples' misfortunes- like Funniest Home Videos. The problem is when people voice this at the wrong times and it offends people, like your friend and his dog. Just be happy with yourself, respect other people (and yourself) and try to look at the big picture. Both you and everyone around you aren't here on this Earth for very long, so live your life to the fullest and help others do the same.

Maybe it has to do with this: quote: smelling and taste are so close to the same thing, they are connected
You are wired differently JoJo. If what you were saying about your left and right hemispheres of your brain is true(remember we talked about that on ICQ a few years back?) You just see things differently than others and might have more intuition than others. You are a adult in a kids body. There are others like you, you know. Usually people who have been through tough times mentally & physically grow past their physical age. quote: When ever I am forced to do something I completely lose any effort I was willing to put in it. What ever I lie to them is just another way that I say "f*ck off". If I did say that word when ever I thought it, my tongue would lose all ability to say it.
I also see a hell of a lot of frustration in that sentence. It sucks being misunderstood. I know this, I am different also... Just don't shoot up your school ok?

Welcome to my world, you want a beer?It sounds like you deal with stressfull, painfull, and/or awkward situations the same way. . . with humour and sarcasm. While it's better than having a nervous breakdown, it can be hurtfull. I know, I'm the same way. You were probably concerned when your friend told you his dog died, you just didn't know how to deal with it, hence the joke about it's name. Next time you find yourself in a situation like that, try finding something completely unrelated to the subject, then make fun of that. That way you accomplish two things. One, you release your own stress, and Two, you make your friend(s) feel better. I'm sure that your people skills are fine Jo, I just wouldn't gauge them entirely by how you interact with your friends. How do you get along with people you've just met, and therefore, hardly know. That counts too. ------------------

I have a problem relating to people, too. All my life I've been self-concious about everything I do around people, and it's only these past few years that I've been more comfortable around people and that I've actually had good friends that I can tell things to. Over the past year however, it seems like I've lost that and it's like I'm trying to learn it all over again and it's just not happening. I think it's the fact that we're too aware of what exactly we're trying to communicate to others about ourselves, perhaps an innane need to get them to see us as invulnerable. One of my friends always finds herself in the Aunt Agony situation and she told me she never knows what to do, so most of the time she just cracks jokes to make people feel better because she doesn't know what else to say. What I'm saying is, you're not alone. I think many teens feel like this. quote: When I am in school and sitting next to someone I don't know, I just joke around a lot and make funny comments. This is mostly because I find school to easy to even try. I get a lot of 80's in class except for times I mess up. In class I don't get in that much trouble for it. I told a chemisty teacher to drink the solution if he really wanted to find out if it was an acid solution or not.
All those things you've said, and that part in particular, remind me of someone in my school at the moment. MrsCy, this was the guy I was telling you about? He's really intelligent but he's always mucking around in class. I heard he spent most of his science class the year before I came standing in the corner or outside the classroom. Yet he's in the highest math class which is a year ahead of everyone else. He's always cracking jokes and doing radical things and getting in trouble in class. But I used to sit next to him in math. And because we didn't really have to do the work in that math class (we have to attend that math class, but we already did that work last year. The only advanced work we get is on Wednesday) we'd have long conversations about things and he's really a pretty great guy, and really shy underneath all of that. That's why he jokes around all the time and cracks jokes and yes, even tease people and make fun of them. But he always stops before he gets too far. And I think he's a great guy, and I'd trust him with anything.

I was going to post with advice, but then I saw it was 5 years old.Hey Jojo, are you still an asshole? FYI, taste and smell are NOT linked. I don't have a sense of smell and I can taste food just fine. [ 10-12-2005: Message edited by: Flux ] --------------------

Actually I was searching for an old thread that I started looking for a link to a photo in my thread. During the search process I discovered this pretty funny thread by the great jojo so decided to save it from being deleted. The old threads eventually go away unless someone 'ups' or saves them from deletion. I personally think preserving some of our family archives is a good thing. I don't expect someone as dense as you to understand archiving history. Calling my action gay is gayer than my action was in the first place. I'm fairly certain acid that you do more gay things in a day than I do in a year. Just guessing. You need a sense of humor and should enjoy life more than you do. You remind me of an old man trying to return the soup in a deli... -------------------- ...
