I AM SHAOLINZ! I HAVE NO REAL LIFE AND TALK ABOUT MY PERSONAL CRAP JUST SO PEOPLE WILL PAY ATTENTION TO ME!
Honestly, Shao, the reason why these are called "your problems" is because they are your problems.
I f*cking hate that everytime I stop by the Shiva forums is some new b*tchy little "nobody loves me, I'm pathetic, can't even ask a girl out, blah blah blah" post.
And don't give me that, "well if you don't wanna hear it, don't read 'em in the first place". Because I don't. I'd say a good 75% of of all Shao's posts I just skip over. I only read them if they look mildy interesting. This did, to begin with, I thought there would be some sort of joke or punchline at the end. "Blah blah blah SE hates me cuz of <insert some inane relatively mild humor here>. But no, it's that same damn emo type crap that I've come to loath and hate.
It's not that most of us don't care, it's probably just me.
And it's ok to come and ask advice for some real life problem every now and then. Some people need outside advice or input from a neutral party. But when we are the ONLY group of people you have to fall back on, that's not just sad, it's pathetic. You need friends. Real life friends. Videogames and internet forums are fun, don't get me wrong, but that is NO substitute for the real thing.
Your in college now, go join some group or club. There are tons of them. Join an anime club or D&D club or something, that way you can be yourself with a whole bunch of like-minded indivuals. And don't worry about coming off as a geek, because frankly, that's the very least of your worries.
And if you take this with a grain of salt, you'll realize that I'm actually trying to help you, in my own jackass way of course.
Being cutoff from FFXI for you, is probably a very good thing. So get off your computer, and leave it. Come back in a week. Yes, I said it, take a fricking break. Go out, make friends, ask a girl, any girl out for a date. Who cares if you don't know her or have anything in common, because really, liking somebody different from yourself is normal. If your dream girl has all the same likes and dislikes, and personality "omg I love ninja and ffxi too", you might as well stand in front of a full length mirror, put on a bra and stuff it, and put on a little wig, and just make out with your reflection.
Sure, not being on when your af2 drops two times sucks, but there are worse things in this world, and you need to realize that.
NOW GO OUT THERE AND MAKE ME PROUD DAMNIT!
