Yet you always say Ottawa is a ****ty city. Why have you lived there so long?

When I first moved here I didn't realize how bad it was. I was spending less than two days a week in Ottawa and it actually worked well as a place between Toronto and Montreal to store my stuff. Everything was also new so exciting and during the tech boom Ottawa was actually pretty cool as we had a ****load of guys in their early 20s making a lot of money. It was only after tech went bust that the city really went downhill. Now my GF owns a business so moving is not really an option. In the future I'd like to move back to spending the week in Ottawa and then the weekends outside of Ottawa but that is at least a year off.

A friend of mine is having a similar issue http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/34...-city-1096870/

Dude is in a fricking haze in that picture, must have just lost the game or something because LOL at a quarterback being that unaware of his surroundings.

And yeah, it would be nice if people on this forum were a bit more pleasant to one another so people wouldn't be so guarded about talking about themselves or sharing TRs. People who seek to validate themselves by putting other people down on the internet, especially when they're putting themselves out there a bit, are pretty lame. Then again, this is just the internet and you gotta know there's always a troll or a hater out there somewhere.

Assuming you are talking about the "sleep over it for a night". It is a reference to GCG's ATF post where he slept over it for a night, created a topic and it got locked.

i picked the cutlahhhhh gif to represent the ATF thread. the referee is ryan beal.

This thread is officially aids, would post some trs including 21s weekend(have gone out every night since last friday and wont stop for the foreseeable future, alcoholic aimirte?), but want to decrease my exposure to aids so I am electing to stay out of it.

Custer hates Karak so much that he has now become him.

NO I HAVENT SHUT THE **** UP

Ccuster gonna karak. Never thought id see the day.

Alright hopefully this could get us back on track. Is there any useful tips any of the posters itt have about getting over anxiety about approaching social situation? Not just approach anxiety with women either, I mean this is a problem for me as well but Im finding it harder to just approach people in everyday life anymore other than forced interaction like at starbucks or anything. Sometimes I'll get anxiety over asking friends if they're going out or about trying to acquire more friends which will just lead me to sitting around doing nothing.


Just kinda lost on social interaction lately

Did something happen?

Do you smoke weed often?

He doesn't answer to this terminology.

Nothing really major all at once. I feel like it was a deterioration of my social circle over the span of the last 5 month. Both roommates who were friends got gf and moved out, other friends turned 21(still 20 and no fake) and everyone just kind of drifted apart. I was okay with it for a little but since i was busy working out and lifting a lot but lately things just haven't been good.

I haven't been out or drunk with friends in like 6 weeks and seem to just feel exhausted in general social situation even sitting watching TV with my roommate feels tiring and awkward. So i've kind of just isolated myself somewhat and just can never bring myself to text a friend to go out of grab lunch.

I feel I've tried the whole "fake it till you make it" advice but it just seems to never work for more than a couple days.

i think weed should be called dew(backwards without an e), imo...Although I dont mind bananas. Also curious if you have read the bananas TR in MTTc LKJ? Was hilarious and hy I love the usage of bananas as weed.

From about april to august i was a pretty regular smoker often smoking every night before bed. Cut back since i have been looking for a job but think about weed on a daily basis

I have not. Link?

I thought this famous MTT story was supposed to be where the term originated? It looks like it can't be.

Clostest bar district is about 15-20min away by porsche right now, would it be worth it to move?

I lol'ed at "by Porsche"

Gotta say I'm pretty shocked by this. For all the life minutia which you obsess over to marginally improve your quality of living (you're extremely particular about cars, clothing, which bars you frequent, drinks you consume, food you eat...and so on), living in a city that you don't like for 9 years is incredible.

I assume that leaving Ms. Henry is out of the question or you'd have already done that. What about convincing her to drop or move her business to Toronto or Montreal? Do you think that Ms. Henry could be the one or something? It would kinda suck if you two broke up and you spent your 30s in a city that you did not really like. City that you don't like + ppl you like >>> city you like + ppl you don't like, but I don't think that applies here, as I'm sure you have several good friends in those other places as well.

as good as this post is, all i can think of when i read it is "ok, pop quiz hot shot. I'm supposed to be upstairs doing my homework, but you catch me in my room looking at a playdude. What dooo you do? WHAT DOOOOOOOOOOOOO you do?"
