Have you ever felt this way?

People cannot have a relationship online, period. It takes a while to get to know someone, when your just "chatting" your not getting the whole book, but a fragment.

I wouldn't call it a "fragment" of the book but a whole different kind of book. Relationships that are entirely over the net are entirely different from the offline ones. For some people the fact that you are not facing the other person is an advantage, you could call it insecurity or whatever but the fact remains that you can have more control (or at least a bigger feeling of control) over a relationship that doesn't involve body language or eye contact. It's colder for sure but then there's the choice, like eating a frozen dinner over a home made, sometimes people are too tired or feel too insecure to cook themselves.

I felt guilty about alot of things. It's just a burden we have to bear. The shit I've been through would turn normal people emo, but I don't want to discuss that with others. Remember to keep it on your back, don't shove it on someone else's, because everyone has their own load.

I agree at some extent. As i said (and some others too), sometimes the burden is too heavy for some people, some of us ask for help of friends to lighten the burden but some others try to do the same (without the possible negative consecuences that it might carry to tell a closer person) with another person in the opposite side of the world, just vent. Internet was made to communicate after all and if someone wants to use it very often then it's their decision, if it's their priority, let them be.

Cheers


P.S. I like home made cooking more (if you get my drift).

Of course. I think of it as a problem of setting your goals too high and too soon. I'm no psychiatrist or counselor but serious planning never really worked out for me. Every year I always say I will stay organized, keeping my papers separate, writing in my planner, etc. I do those things for about the first week of school, and then I realize I do just as well without them.

Just become comfortable in what you're doing and I think you will worry a lot less. I am not telling you to slack, because thats obviously not a good thing to do, unless you're dom apparently, but you need to find out what your limits are. As for SRO, I cant help you much that. Thats contributed to my slacking as well. I don't try hard to make it perfect. I always do the minimum to get an A and I'm usually content. Hopefully I will change once I'm in college because it counts for real.

The computer isn't at fault, friend.

If you are weak set your router to only allow you online only at specific times.
To limit yourself and accomplish what you choose is difficult at first but if you really do want to get better grades, make your parents proud, earn self respect then don't let anything stop you.

Managing any addiction requires admitting that it is an addiction. If the habit interferes substantially with your life or goals, admit it. From there do what is needful to defeat it. I've heard that a satirist is one who discovers something about himself and writes it about others. Your statements are free of this; I respect that very much.

My advice may sound harsh but start your change process in summer so that by the time you return to school you will have formed new habits, yes? Remember, any goal without a specific set time-frame is not a goal, it is a dream only. A nice, but passing thought. A thumb to suck on as you continue to fail.

Me? I wish I would have had friends who cared enough to kick me in the nuts when I was young and stupid, it would have helped. "Hey! You're screwing up, dummy - STOP IT" <~~~ like that. I wouldn't like it but then later I would have thought about it and hopefully understood.

Work is love made visible.
