Excerpt:

Quote:Her: im free saturday night or today

Me: hows 3pm sun?

I felt like it was some sort of shit test so by saying Sunday in the afternoon I was saying I was probably going to be hungover from partying(there's truth to that). Or did I pass up on a lay? She was texting me a lot of long ass messages. I only replied with short ones.

EDIT: Thought I posted this in the newbie forum.

I don't see a shit test in this at all. I would say go with the time that's more convenient for you.

In that case it when smooth for me. I'm paranoid about shit tests and coming on as clingy/needy the biggest game killer of 'em all.

Where does this come from?

There is so much paranoia about "shit tests" (someone needs to kill this term, please) on here it is out of control.

She gave you two options, this is what normal people do.

She even wanted to hang out on Fri or Sat, this is a good thing.

I am going to keep on saying it on here until it becomes ingrained in peoples skulls:

1. Everyone is not out to get you.

2. Stop Texting.

3. Stop Online Dating.

Honestly if people did those three things, 99% of Game problems would disappear.

But G, you even said it yourself on your blog, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean people aren't trying to kill you.

Ha.

Even more to my point.

I am paranoid about serious things.

Not if someone says:

"Would you like paper or plastic?"

"Would you like coffee or tea?"

"Is friday or saturday better for you?"

See the difference?

What the paranoid hear:

Would you like to be strangled with a paper or plastic bag?

Would you like coffee or tea with your poison?

Is friday or saturday better for someone to take shots at you?

In all seriousness though that was a funny line. Props.

I was thinking the same thing about the IOI. I didn't want to freak him out and send his paranoia to new heights though. We'd need to put some thorazine in his tea to calm him down.

Kinks - Destroyer 1981





Met a girl called lola and I took her back to my place
Feelin guilty, feelin scared, hidden cameras
Stop! hold on. stay in control

Girl, I want you here with me
But I'm really not as cool as I'd like to be
cause there's a red, under my bed
And there's a true blue inside of me
That keeps stoppin me, touchin you, watchin ya, lovin you
Paranoia, the destroyer.
Paranoia, the destroyer.

Well I fell asleep, then I woke feelin kinda queer
Lola looked at me and said, ooh you look so weird.
She said, man, theres really something wrong with you.
One day you're gonna self-destruct.
You're up, you're down, I cant work you out
You get a good thing goin then you blow yourself out.

Silly boy you self-destroyer.
Silly boy you self-destroyer

Silly boy you got so much to live for
So much to aim for, so much to try for
You blowing it all with paranoia
You're so insecure you self-destroyer

And it goes like this, here it goes
Paranoia, the destroyer
Here it goes again
Paranoia, the destroyer

Dr. dr. help me please, I know you'll understand
There's a time device inside of me,
I'm a self-destructin man
There's a red, under my bed
And there's a little green man in my head
And he said, you're not goin crazy,
you're just a bit sad
cause there's a man in you
knowing you, tearing you into two.

Silly boy you self-destroyer.
Paranoia, the destroyer

Self-destroyer, wreck your health
Destroy your friends, destroy yourself
The time device of self-destruction
Light the fuse and start eruption

Yeah, it goes like this, here it goes
Paranoia, the destroyer

Paranoia, the destroyer
Hey hey, here it goes
Paranoia, the destroyer
And it goes like this

Paranoia, the destroyer
And it goes like this.

We definitely hijacked this thread a bit. Oh well.

It is important to remember that giving too much weight to what someone writes in a simple text message is a bad trap to fall into. You start to see purpose or agency behind someone's words when there is none. You can always find something to be anxious about if you try enough. So chill and don't try too hard.

I don't text myself because I'm too cheap to pay for something that isn't absolutely necessary.

Ha.

That song somehow popped in my head reading this thread.

The strange thing is I never really listed to the kinks or had any of their albums.

Song is def before my time.

tjames seems like a decent fella. however, i think it's important to do the exact opposite of what tjames does in any given situation
