I have no idea where this rant is about to go, but if you are playing the pity game or are simply not in a good mood, stop right...here.
The Pity Game- I've seen several people I know, and many I don't doing this on a regular basis...and it's driving me effing nuts. gonk
Those who come on here, spewing out their life stories, and asking for everyone's pity. They act as though they are the first person ever whose mother wants them to be Christian, or who had sex and wound up pregnant, exetera.
You know what? That's life- deal with it.
Don't assume that you are the first of all your friends to have someone close to you who's died- because it happens to all of us eventually. Yeah, it's sad, sometimes terrible- but life goes on. You just have to pick yourself up and get ready for the next visit from the bullshit fairy.
I hate it when people come on Gaia, looking for a non-existant shoulder to cry on, every single day. Life wouldn't be so hard if you didn't want it to be. I've had s**t happen to me, too- hasn't everyone?- But you don't come here telling at every opportunity about the time your relative killed themself- because it's happened to lots of other people, too- people who don't feel like showing their weaknesses to the rest of the world.

Edit: If you think this is about you, then it very likely isn't. I'm just feeling iffy, that's all. I understand when people have real life problems, and sometimes it makes it easier when they have someone to talk to- it's not those I'm referring to in my above rant.
