Yeah people get off your high horses nothing I type is as illegible as you claim and you know it. I'ts qutie easy to make out what i'm saying so stop acting like i'm writing in a non-existant language. Yes this is a topic complaining about personal issues so what? Sue me for having a personal issue I need to get off my chest.

    My thread isn't about you, just a statement you made. I'm not saying you're illegible. The fact you say it's illegible shows how standardized spelling is important, though.
  • Tnu1138Tnu1138
    i'm just sick of people bitching ab out my spelling it's perfeclty legible just not perfect as far as i'm concerned that is sufficient.
  • StormtroperStormtroper
    For whatever it's worth, you've gotten much better about it, I think.
  • KatrikaKatrika
    But Tnu, it's not all about you. It might be sufficient for you, but not always for us. You have improved, though!
  • Tnu1138Tnu1138
    I just have given up on doing anything about it along time ago because of constant bullying. Pissed me off enough to just make me not want toe ven bother.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    Our problem, Tnu, is not that we don't understand you, it's just that it's simply showing some respect towards the people you're talking to write in a orthographically correct fashion.

    It's that really so hard to ask?
  • Tnu1138Tnu1138
    I gave that up a log time ago Juan. I got sick of the bullying so I said "fuck it" and stopped trying.  Besides I have a distaste for conformity.

    Doesn't that being able to fit in a whole lot tougher?
  • Tnu1138Tnu1138
    Yeah but I don't feel the drive to do anything about it anymore after the bullying. Besides that means they won.
  • KatrikaKatrika
    No, I think that letting the bullying effect your life in such a radical way in ANY direction means they 'won'.

    ...I might be being too harsh, though.
  • vacasamavacasama

    So, instead of trying to overcome the shit that got handed to you, you simply retreat from the world?

    You do realize you're still acting that way because of what they say, right? Being discomfortant (Is that the word?) is just another way of letting people dictate how you must act.

    All I'm saying is that if you don't want to do it, it's fine, I really don't mind, but is it so hard to do it? And even if it is, isn't it worth it? Even if for, at least, to show to people that you actually were educated and know the language you're speaking?
  • Tnu1138Tnu1138
    Yes. that's how I deal with everything. I  reject it.
  • NoimportaNoimporta
    That's not a very productive attitude.
  • KatrikaKatrika
    ...look, Tnu. I'm going to back up here and be less harsh. Bullying is a form of psychological abuse, and it can be very hard to overcome. But perhaps you need to think about whether or not retreating from the world and rejecting change and any kind of normality is healthy for you?
  • Tnu1138Tnu1138
    Well it's how I work. I know no other way. I said to the bullies "fuck you I won't conform". I'm not going to concede. I'm not going to pretend or falsify anything.
  • RedEyedAbyssRedEyedAbyss
    And honestly, your spelling problems seem an issue of not bothering to use the BACKSPACE or DELETE key.
  • KatrikaKatrika
    I know that's how you work, but I really, really think it might be unhealthy. Won't you be willing to consider that? There's a difference between being yourself and doing everything opposite of everyone else. Radical noncomformity is just another way to conform to a DIFFERENT ideal.
  • StormtroperStormtroper
    Conformism feels good, man.
  • Tnu1138Tnu1138
    what are you calling me a non-conformist? I'm not a non-conformist! It takes too long for me to look over a post usually even when I make it laconic.  It's difficult if I were able to move past it I wouldn't still be dwelling on someone for the past seven years.
  • KatrikaKatrika
    So you hate conformism, but aren't a non-conformist?
  • Tnu1138Tnu1138
    Exactly. DOnt' associate me with them.I'm not one of them.
  • SchitzoSchitzo
    They're somethin' else.
    Good lord. This man is bullying himself.
  • KatrikaKatrika
    You refuse to conform at all, and you hate conformism. That's the definition of a nonconformist, Tnu.

    Honestly, it's a combination of things. Listing them would probably get me banned, but frankly using bullying as an excuse to hide in a hidey-hole or bitch endlessly pisses me off to no degree. It's not you, it happens with many in general. Including some on this forum. 
  • Tnu1138Tnu1138
    So you're syaing i'm conforming tot he non conformists?
  • KatrikaKatrika
    Yes, exactly. You're limiting your options in life by refusing to do anything that might be construed as conforming, instead of being yourself, which is true liberty.

    Look, Tnu. I have a lot of experience with playing the victim, and things like conforming.

    The way I see it is, just do it. And don't think of it as conforming. It isn't that big of a deal. You gain nothing from not taking our advice.

    "Once conform, once do what others do because they do it, and a kind of lethargy steals over all the finer senses of the soul."
    — Michel de Montaigne

    It is toruble for me I have a natural difficulty with it and I know i'm conforming I can't get it out of my midn that i'm conforming because I have to consciously go out of my way to chang the situation.
