How about you?

BTW, calling me a cupcake ain't an insult.
FFS everyone here is trying to be nice to you and help you learn how to be part of the community. Including me, bizarrely. Could you just calm the fuck down, take a step back and reread before you post any more? Maybe ask your parents or someone else you trust to help interpret intent? (not saying don't post any more, just don't fire off the first thing that comes into your head without rereading a few times).

NO-ONE is offended by "Cupcake". 99% chance it wasn't intended as an insult. Just a "calm down" flag. But I've been wrong before and I'm probably due another one.....

One of the things most of us here like is limited use of emoticons. Why do you want to be here so badly when you hate the way we interact? Either learn to interpret the subtext without emoticons, or understand that you're gonna miss shit. I'm pretty certain you won't be the only one here who makes that choice.

If you joined this forum to get out of your comfort zone, maybe stop trying to turn it into your comfort zone?

As an FYI, once you start a thread, it's in the public domain, it's not YOUR thread, it belongs to all of us. We all learn that the hard way. Also, it's generally bad form to start a new thread -especially in homebase- just to make a personal statement to which you don't want any replies and actively discourage discussion. There are plenty of threads in Nothingland for that. I understand you might not go into coffee shops or bars etc as often as you might like, but try considering if that would be the first thing you said if you did, and then apply that to you decision about whether to start a new thread ot not. A thread IS a conversation, in the main.

I see so many people here trying to help you turn this into a decent thread, one that has a place in homebase, and all I see is you losing your shirt because you didn't get a response to yet another "poor me"

I really am actually trying to help you. I'm no social skills superhero myself. <<<see no sarcasm, no bitching, being the best person I can be right now.
