Pheenix said:What the Secret gets right is this: you get what you want. As in, the two things one need to complete a task is motivation and competence. If you have motivation, you just need competence. If you have motivation for getting competence, you are basically home free for all troubles in life.
But in reality, it's a bit less black and white in that. You would need a heck-load of motivation to start doing something about your competence. If you had a fair deal of self-confidence on the side, you would need considerably less though.
Pheenix said:That is true. The Secret ***** that thought over, though.

I have tried to talk to a lot of people on here. But it is never reciprocated. It never goes anywhere. Those who do reply do so out of politeness. You can tell. You guys want to bitch and rant about how bad stuff is for you, but actually you do not want to engage with anyone on a personal level…
Someone posted a poll that said “do you hate me”.
I don’t know you! How could I like or hate you. You people moan you do not have friends but how will you get any if you don’t want to talk to anyone?
What should be good about this forum is that we all have problems and are all lonely therefore we should all have some form of common ground to be able to get along with each other. Out of this some friendships should be born.
But no. Nothing. People post their self indulgent moaning but don’t actually want to talk to anyone.
I’m a 30 yr old ex alternative music DJ and ex singer/producer with 5 cats, my own business and I’m gay. Surely I am appealing to some people?
Why do you guys not want to talk?
PS this post is dedicated to the user “SOUP”.

To the topic name question, that seems kinda off, yes, my loneliness is my own doing. I was a pretty pathetic person when I was younger. I thought that manners, patience and discipline all the qualities a person needed. That said, people were a-holes in my school and I can see why I wouldn't hang out with them in retrospect.
In the end, I'm fatalist, and believe that everyone are consequences of what happened to them. People messed with me, I messed with myself...
cumulus.james said:So it is is surely wrong to think you would meet a friend in your area though such elaborate and complex means. My village has 4000 people in it. I would be surprised if just one of them knew how to "Google a client and Google a database over channels". This is the behavior of "comic book guy" from the Simpsons surely? Not of everyday people?????
