I understand if you cant define what "man the **** up" means, in relation to my current situation and how I can apply it to help better myself.

Well to be honest, the point still stands.
What changed is that I understand that you can't help it.
Hence, I can't really blame or flame you for it.

You're taking the 'Man the **** up' thing too literally.
I already told you what I mean by it.
Rather then complaining, spend your energy in taking steps to move forward.
However, I realize that your response will be 'how?'.

And since I don't know what you really want (since your motivation for wanting money is so bad, that I really doubt you want lot's of money), I can't answer that for you.

Interesting that you would think it takes "balls" to beg someone for largesse without guilt or embarrasment. God, you have more problems than I can enumerate, and now you are going to be a druggie with bad character, adding to your already depressive resume.

I'm done with you. Just communicating with someone with your attitude is a downer. Being a loser is one thing, but choosing it and embracing it is something completely different. You are to be avoided in my opinion.

Sorry you feel that way. I don't see how asking for help is bad.

If you can't explain the point you want to make or find it difficult in what you are trying to say I totally understand.

I wish you all the best.

I wouldn't consider myself a druggie for taking prescribed drugs from a doctor its one of the options open to me. People have said go back to my doctors for help and I did

What do you guys do for fun? (when you don't have a big budget)

Girls, weed, mixed doubles tennis

mixed doubles tennis with girls and weed, then go to vons and buy 2 bottles of wine.

Don't start using mind-altering drugs other than prescribed ones, would be a very stupid move now.

For fun there are libraries, sports, cooking, sex, video games,ranting on 2+2, studying, starting a web business, micro-stakes poker, getting paid, etc.

Go on a holiday somewhere amazing, like nepal and see amazing mountains. Maybe that will blow your mind enough.

Maybe try find others with the same views. Thats always awesome.

TRM.

P.s this thread eerily reminds me of eminems song stan. don't do anything stupid, life maybe bull**** but theres nothing else to do.

Sounds nice and would be amazing its a pity I dont have the money.

I know a person like the OP. Demands answers for their problems then pisses and shyts on each and every answer. Every single one. Throws up a stop sign immediately why that too wouldn't work. pathetic individual. I don't even feel sorry for them, just disdain...or "dis stain"...get this person (this stain) away from me, they have nothing to offer me! Don't fall for their trap! If they aren't smart enough to come up with their own answers and instead ask for answers only to immediately just shyt all over them, then **** em, serves em right. Let em be dumb, miserable, and grumbling all of their life. People like this you just have to move away from, leave in the dust and forget about, before their bad, bad, bad attitudes threaten to leave a stain on your life as well.

If you're that easily affected by a random, yes you shouldn't be involved.
For people who stand more firm in their shoes, it's not a problem to offer help knowing that you'll get 0 in return for it.

OP is not affecting me.
Rather then telling him what I think about him, I will stop giving advice and move on.

Did you behave in this manner since you were young? Like whining about everything, be it schoolwork, pocket money, teachers, etc.

You sound like a living zombie, may i ask what you have been living for?

Poker is obviously affecting you is a negative way as it does for many others. However, you seem to be deeply entrapped by poker which is of course, very unhealthy.

The first step to recovery is to shun poker. Quit poker, delete every poker app in your computer, block yourself from 2p2 and other poker sites, no poker at all. Then you will refind the joy in life again

I haven't played poker in ages and dumped all poker books and all websites. I understand what you guys are saying about me, out of sight, out of mind.

thanks for everything.

Pretty solid advice right here. I would add, develop some relationships with other human beings. The fact that you have no connections must be a contributing factor in your unhappiness. Money will never change that. You will be able to afford a Smithers type character to do your bidding but you will still be a miserable bastard.

Well if you are going to view the world/people in this way, it is going to make life pretty tough. Why not try to see the world in a different way. You have the power to be a little more positive, if you choose to be! I'm a little negative myself at times, but I've found it only breeds more negativeness and who the heck needs that!

i feel like op is just one of those people who feels sorry for himself and that it isn't their fault that they are the way they are, just like it isnt their fault they were a losing poker player.


reality check bro

I know its my fault that I wasnt great at poker, but I wasnt a losing poker player, I made a few cheeseburgers. I just figured it wasnt worth investing more time and energy into something I was going to be medicore at and only win a few pennies for the amount of time I put in, it wasnt worth it.

That's a right decision, you try something, and if you feel that you can't be the best in that field, then there is 2 options 1) be mediocore 2) quit. I prefere to quit.

well in that case all the power to you, I felt the same way after 15 years of hockey, 2 years of professional gaming and a handful of other things that I put time and effort into but just didnt see the reward to prove its worth, poker just happens to be something that may be the worthwhile one for me, we all go through our lists though
