(... I'm trying to get this subforum more to the heart & soul of everything & less about superficial trivialities...)

That is a tough question that I don't feel like answering now at 1 in the morning, but ATM the thing that's irritating me most about life is the fact that my pringles are stale. I'll probably post back tomorrow after giving it more thought.

I think you already know all of mine..
PostPosted: Tue Nov 09, 2010 8:20 am


Shall I list them?
I have multiple instances.


When I was eleven I attended 5 funerals. I couldn't go to another one that year because it was being held in Germany. 5/6 were close family members or friends of family.

When I was thirteen I came home from being bullied and put a jack knife up to my wrist, wanting it to just go away. Thankfully I got to my senses before I made a deep enough incision.

When I was fourteen my favorite great uncle died and the week before he gave me a stuffed animal. I still have it. He is the reason I will never start smoking. He was on oxygen and had a horrible time breathing, and was still smoking because by that time, it was really too late for him to stop smoking. It would've done him more harm than good.

A low-lite of my life, not particularly the worst thing that's happened to me, would be at a christmas party with my family when I was sixteen. My mom got completely wasted in front of her family and I felt completely ashamed and embarrassed. After saying a quick goodbye to everyone I ran out to the car because I couldn't stand the shame. She's the reason why I don't drink to get drunk.

When I was seventeen a friend of the family died. He was very close to us, and christmas dinner without him just felt a bit emptier than usual. I still miss him a lot. He was the jolliest large man you would ever know, and his laugh was amazing.



So that's the worst of it that I can remember at the moment.
Most of the incidents didn't directly happen to me, but they affected me to make me the person I am right now.
Hopefully I'll have a relatively easy year this year.

the most painful thing thats ever happened physically- i dislocated my left knee twice senior year of HS

most painful emotionally- watching my dog die in my arms and not knowing what to do for him... ive never had anything die that ive known for so long (15 years) before and i didnt know it would hit me like that i thought i had accepted death but im not nearly as prepared as i thought

I personally think this is kind of a needlessly pessimistic excercise. I understand the idea is to get people to share but why does it have to be the bad?

For me it'd probably be when I had to put my dog down.

Quoting OP:
"to get this subforum more to the heart & soul of everything & less about superficial trivialities"

After giving it some thought, there's not much I can come up with. No matter what bad things may have happened to me, there was always something that came back that balanced it out. Either that or something just as bad that happened.

I'm not really sure, I'm usually emotionally cold, it's probably the death of my grandfather when I was in high school, but even then I had to pretend I was fine and ace my exams that were less than a week away, because in my family failure because of emotional reasons is unacceptable.
but that's all, I'm such an emotionless person.

I also noticed he/she didn't say her darkest hour.

My point is you should only open up your personal past if it applies to the current problem at hand. No sense in knowing what awful things have happened to us off hand.

It'd probably be when my grandma died 3 days after my birthday. But at least I got to see her on my birthday.

the worste thing? it's pretty recent. I already mentioned it, Malachi being murdered a few weeks ago. but there have been other horrible things that happened in my life. most of them were against others I care about, not me, but I have a habbit of getting involved....

losing my dog and being chased down by a truck, where my stepfather was the one driving said truck o.o

that was the scariest moment I ever had...

You don't have to answer if you don't want to. This isn't a forum just to come up and rant about random crap. The description says "personal/real life discussion". Basically if it has something to do with something IRL, it makes sense for it to go here.

Nothing truly horrible has happened in my life. People have died but it was there time. So I guess mine is just a little let down

I was excluded from a game of four square and by best friend wasn't. She played leaving me on my own. Depressing and irritating to a shy little kid who only has one friend.

Because ... its the pain that makes things real. I think what she want's is something real. In a virtual world that can be difficult to achieve. The human experience is mostly pain anyways.... there is some joy but let's be "real".. What had a bigger impact on you ? That awesome Ice Cream cone you had last night or putting your dog down ?

Maybe sharing pain is one of the only ways to truly share. Sharing human experience is what get's us by ... It's why we need each other. A lot of love, is sharing pain ....
