Things you never got over?

[SciMal]

So, what are some bad things that happened to you that still make you feel sad or angry to think about? I'm not talking like, big, epic, life-changing events or massive tragic stories. I'm talking about the little things. Maybe somebody erased your Pokemon save. Maybe a teacher punished you for something another kid did. Maybe your dad ate your french fries. Y'know, something petty but irritating.

I don't keep track of the little things most of the time. I was quite the asshole to my little brother, yelled at him too much when we were younger, got too angry too many times, but I cooled down and we're fairly close now.

There's just too much big shit to get in the way that's eating at me. One of my earliest memories is seeing my mother crying on the stairs while the police lights came in from outside the window, my parents got divorced when I was ~6y.o., the best thing I can say about my father is "Well - he never beat me" (which isn't saying much), later on my at-the-time best friend from high school went behind my back with the woman I was madly in love with and conducted a relationship (only to cheat on her down the road) behind my back - which resulted in a suicide attempt by yours truly, I was molested by a neighbor as a kid, I spent several years living in an unfinished basement because of said father not paying child support and my single mother having to provide for my brother and I on a salary of <$30k/yr, and then after being the only parent worth a damn to us I watched my mother die a year-long death at the hands of Glioblastoma Multiforme (brain cancer) while she literally forgot I was her son at some points. Because of her unexpected demise (she was 41) my GPA dropped like a stone - from a 3.6 to a 2.7 - and for the first time in my college career I failed courses and I was kicked out of the Honors Society, which I forced myself to retake because I want to enter Med school.

Now my GPA is a 3.08 - which was damn hard to bring back up after switching from English to Biology courses and not being in a Science class for years or having a thorough understanding of what's now basic high school science since I'm a few years older than your average student (I took the SATs, to date me a tad).

So, yeah, after all that shit happened, little stuff doesn't really eat at me. It happens, I either don't give a Nickel's worth of my time or I fix it then and there. It makes me seem extremely apathetic or cold to most people - but I figure I have a good excuse.

If you let the tiny stuff gnaw at you on the inside, you're going to be absolutely paralyzed when the big stuff hits. Not worth it, and the people who cause it aren't worth it. Probably why I have so few friends, but the friends I do have I'm always glad to have around.

F**king everything up between me and the girl I loved. We never were technically seeing each other, but I managed (somehow) to make a complete ass of myself and screw things up on a universal scale.

What Irritates to this DAY is that one of my friends (A girl used to have a crush on for a the first year in Middle school) During the middle of winter break in 8th grade she just went up....
And left to Europe
She didn't tell anyone, it took me and my other friends to figure it out,
Now she did tell me in 6th grade that her new step-dad got a job in Europe and went there, her mother and her would move there in the end of 6th grade,
She post pone it to the end of 7th grade
then again to finishing middle school and starting high school in Europe, i took this with a grain of salt since the last two post postponements, so i just though she would finish high school in Austin

What sucked is that she never respond to any of us except her two best friends,
One of which got mad and told her out and stop receiving messages (which puzzled me, they've been friends since kindergarten) the other i didn't knew very well and i was shy so i never asked her so i was in a F**KED moment and well...... it sucks -_-

Agreeing to having my room painted over. The people who were supposed to paint it were never heard from again halfway through. The room is a mess and my parents have been putting it off for 6 FUCKING YEARS. 6 Years I haven't had my own room. I count the days until I move out so I don't have to go in the bathroom as my only means of getting some privacy.

 

[figday]

Hmm, I guess I'll chip in. On my latest ones :

1. Should've gone out of the house sooner
2. Dragon Age 2.. christ..
3. Should've dropped out of college when I had the chance
4. Some relationship-related stuff I should and shouldn't have done

fin.

When I was 3 my house was raided by the feds,
My dad had been running a meth lab.

I still get incredibly nervous around any cops.

Dead Island trailer. I was all about zombies after reading World War Z and the Zombie Survival Guide and ready for a serious zombie game. None of the "braaaains" crap. Then here comes the masterfully created "Dead Island" trailer making all excited, and then the devs tell everyone in an interview that we were going to be able to make electric machetes. Fuck you.

Also, high school.

 

[Jaeke]

Never got over my crushing fear of opening up to other people since middle school when all of my friends left me for drugs and such and i had to start from ground-zero.
I'm currently at about level 2

Michael Bay destroying the Transformers franchise. Also Sonic Team really needs to give up trying and give the little blue guy to someone that doesn't hire chimps with down-syndrome.

 

[Malty Milk Whistle]

The death of my parents after taking a shortcut down an alley.

Not sure if serious....or Batman.....

I am deadly serious... about avenging the death of my parents.

as Long as you don't dress like a mentally obsessed man whilst doing that, its fine by me!

 

[Kae]

That "Men don't cry" thing, seriously that fucked me up, let's just say in the last 11 years I have cried a total of 2 times and one was because I had a mental breakdown and the other one was because of some repressed memory, but I'm over that now (I think), obviously the nervous breakdown was because all of my repressed feelings, but seriously that phrase is the reason I have no friends and don't talk to people, because I don't want to show my weakness to anybody and what better way than not having anybody to show it to, so yeah curse you stupid ass retarded phrase that was said to me at an impressionable age, curse you!

 

[Generalissimo]

Yahtzee summed it up best.

 

[xXGeckoXx]

My friends left me, laughing, as I was lying on the ground bleeding and pleading them to help me.

Never got over it, and now I am a psychotic, anti-social bastard of a person who thinks everyone will backstab him.

There, oversharing of the day completed.

I know it is touchy but I don't understand. You left us hanging here and this seems to be one of the more interesting stories on the thread. If you don't mind could we get a tiny bit of context I mean...was it their fault? What happened to you?

If you don't want to talk about it then forget I ever posted.

For me it happened when a friend and I were working on a skit together for the school variety show.

We had been working hard on it, but she was beginning to be very harsh on me. Going so far as begin yelling at the slightest mistake in my lines. Eventually I told her to ease up because it was getting to the point where it was no longer fun and I was beginning to want to quit.

She then started going on about how wrong of me that was, apparently she had her heart set on performing in another skit and she had just taken the one with me to bide her time until the teacher, as she more or less put it, saw that the girl he had picked was wrong for the part. The second that happened she would leave me with no person to perform with and go and take that role.

But the teacher eventually told her 'I picked her and she is doing a good job in her role. You are doing great in your skit so stick with it.'. She said that if she went through all that it would be wrong of me to walk out on her.

Wrong of me to walk out on her, when she had tried to walk out on me before hand. I know two wrongs don't make a right but I still can't help but feel something about this was very wrong. Maybe I just can't see it from her view.

I know it is petty of me to hold onto that... But I think the reason is because it hit home how she always tries to put herself ahead of everyone and not really caring much about the feelings of others in the process. Even her friends. Needless to say this isn't the first or the last time she did this kind of thing. I'm still friends with her, mostly because attending college has mellowed her out and the fact that I haven't seen her very often lately.

I tend to forgive everyone, but myself for little things. There are many times I failed at something or embarrassed myself. Nany of these times I have yet to fully forgive myself.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Cartoon Network ending "Transformers Animated" so they could sell "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" stuff. THERE STILL WERE UNANSWERED QUESTIONS YOU ASSHOLES!

Related to this, the way kid's TV stations are being run nowadays, all they seem to care about is subpar cartoons (with some exceptions) and tweenie-based non-cartoons.

And I'm pissed at Namco for replacing most of the English voice in "Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World". Not that the voices are bad, mind you, but I COULD have had Scott Menville and Johnny Yong Bosch, two of my all-time favorite English VAs in the sequel to one of my all-time favorite JRPGs! GAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!

...I am such a nerd...

 

[Awsomeotaku]

I was mad at my dad (I don't remember why) and that day we were going to make breakfast for dinner, but I was mad at him so I told him I didn't want to make it. well later I got hungry so I decided I would make breakfast for dinner without him. I hate myself whenever I think about it, because I know I really hurt his feelings really bad. I couldn't even bring myself to eat the damn pancakes when I finished making them.

Something I can´t get over is why make such a big deal of what I dislike, haven´t seen or done. Why does it matter? When I´m asked for my opinion or other question, I answer the truth. Because of some of my opinion and answer I have been called a hipster. And that is some thing I can´t get over.

Last time I heard something like this was at the school library, where me and two fellow class member was looking for some movies to rent. One of them points at Kung-Fu-Panda and Kickass and comments how awesome they were. The other one agree and ask me of my opinion. I said "I haven´t seen any of those". Then they looked at me weirdly as if I had done something wrong. They followed up with other questions of why I haven´t seen the movies and "that it was almost forbidden not to have seen them". My answer was (classic): "Does it look, even a little bit, like I give a f**k?". And that is some thing I can´t get over. Why make such a big deal out of nothing?

In Primary school I made this valentines day card for this girl I was insanely in love with, I waited till everyone went to lunch and I was going to put it under her desk (where we get our work) but as soon as I put the card under, I backed out and put the card back in my bag. I wonder how things would have turned out differently.
