[bbs] first person to suggest a self-help book gets defenestrated

[espio]

[Considering how happy Espio has been lately, his recent moping certainly seems quite a dramatic contrast... and after the weekend, it has only become worse. Moreso now because he's noticed it, which made him think, which in turn made him think of other things to be unhappy about.

The obvious solution might have been to tackle the cause... but unfortunately, despite what it might look like to a few people, the cause just isn't one isolated thing, and the only ways he can see to tackle the issues he can tackle look pretty hopeless.]

So what do you do when doing and/or thinking something is ridiculously bad for you and by extension the people around you, but no matter what you do to distract yourself and put your focus on something else, you can't help yourself? Even though all the logic and reasonable thinking you possess says you're wrong and stupid.

I don't mean anything specific, more a collection of things. They don't even make sense, so don't ask. General summary is: I'm an idiot.

hey why is it suddenly about me? dude i'm not the one moping!

[espio]

Because you're treating it like it's something to be ashamed of! You're the one who thinks simple shit like this is worth getting embarrassed over.

Embarrassing is getting possessed by a tree, or being used as a dart on a popular dinnertime gameshow, or when your boyfriend's Mom decides to bring up his sex life at Christmas dinner.

geez ill take your word for it, don't take it out on me

i'm serious though, cheer up!
just cause talkin to one person didn't magically solve all your life problems doesn't mean another person wont

[espio]

So asking other people is now a good thing?

Make your mind up.

uh i'm pretty sure talking to one or two people who know the real you isn't the same as blurting out crap all over a load of strangers who have nothing else to go by
though if i were you id put all of it outa my mind for awhile, try to worry about somethin else
like who pissed in your cereal this morning

[om_nom_namur]
