lets sticky it.

Now...some things are not an advantage. Mental disabilities, for example. NEVER an advantage, no matter how you put it. Then there are those small awkward things like unibrows, acne, diarrhea, excessive sweating, poor bladder control, man boobs, arthritis, muscle wasting, stuttering...

haha on a more helpful note, seriously, since everyone likes it lets make this a sticky.

I didn't feel like doing anything else tonight but after reading this I'm roaring to write some DHV stories. It's extremely difficult building a social life from scratch, especially when it's so easy to just return to old patterns. Stories like this provide the inspiration the formerly asocial need to break the habit. Thx bro

That.... is the most inspirational shit that I have ever swallowed. Thank you, so very much.

Something to add to this old post of mine, more of an observation for myself (and hopefully for some of you too).

Today, I took a look back of some of my old goals in life (I found some very old msn conversations with a close friend of mine, great read). The best thing about it, is that it put me back on track.

Setting lots of little goals is key, as you can achieve them easily to get closer to your final achievement. Yet inevitably there are goals while are long term and cannot be split into smaller goals that easily. I have been looking over some of them and finding myself amazed at just how much I have done, and how much left I have to do.

But there is one lesson I have learnt from reading what I was saying 2 years ago, things change. Having your life set out in a way that you know exactly what you want, when you want it and how to get it, having it set out in stone so it can never be changed is the worst thing that can happen. You WILL change your mind on what is important and what you want from life, keeping the ability to adapt is something that will set you apart from so many people in life, especially if you adapt to what you want - even if you want something different than before!

Bravo Madals!

Afternoon everyone!

I've got Cerebral Palsy. It's obviously a different disability, but I can relate to the original post. All the best to you & everyone else reading this!

Madals mate, sorry I haven't been in touch. The one time I went clubbing with you, I actually became a little jealous of your condition, just for the social proof. Then I realised I wasn't jealous. I just wanted your ability to flip the perception from bad to good. Miss ya man!

Haha, they were good times man. That girl grinding on me while you were videoing it you kinky man you I am still not completely sure WHICH girl that was (I have narrowed it down to 2 I think though lol)

All my life Ive been passive as hell.

I was constantly depressed, anguished. I would blame others for my problems. I would rationalize why things werent right. I would try to explain why I was where I was rather than do anything. Life made it this way. Things were unfair. Life made me the person I am and I deserved better but this was the way things were. This was why I was (heres my list):
-Shy
-Nerdy Physique
-Glasses
-Nerdy Mannerisms and Posture
-No friends
-Skeptical and scared of people
-Low social value
-Nothing fun in life

This was how it was.

OP, what youve said. The way you react to things. The way you do things. It is inspiring. The way you look at situations and how you perceive them. It is completely different how I am and used to be. All of those scenarios you talked about. I would have been the negative guy in all of them. "Why is this chubby girl bothering me? I have hot girl waiting for me" I wouldve been rude and blown her off rudely. "Why is this chubby girl being so ignorant and doing all this stupid stuff while Im in so much pain?" "Why am I alone in the hospital with nothing to do? this sucks" "Why am I stuck in a wheelchair, I have nothing to live for" Honestly if you swapped bodies with me right now, I would have made none of the accomplishments you have. I would just be sitting there hating life, hating people, angry at the world, doing nothing all day but play games on the computer in my wheelchair.
So my accomplishments. Though meager, Im going to try and hype them up a bit so I feel more confident with myself and maybe turn over a leaf:
-I have made several thousand dollars on a sustainable website where I have to put in only a bit work now to get hundreds of dollars per month
-I am having a fun time making video vlogs on youtube ranting about stuff and have been getting subscribers
-I have a passion for sports, running, tennis, meeting and talking to people, especially girls, and I love to sing and play piano. I want to get somewhere one day with singing. I make covers on youtube
-I am a fairly studious student at a fairly well known state college. Looking to one day enter medical school.
-I want to one day do great things with music and youtube. I want to make songs and work with great artists and well known people one day.
-And finally I have a drive and perserverance and confidence at times I rarely see in other people.

Now looking back I feel much better looking at my accomplishments. But hold your horses Im not bragging nor do I think Im awesome. In fact, I have extreme self esteem issues at times. My website is going downhill and I may start to be losing money from it now. I have very few good clothes and have blown my money on a lot of stupid things. I have few friends and I attract a lot of bad people (this is what I have accomplished/attract socially by being passive and letting life roll by).

What will I change?
Short term:
1.My personality and inner game is most important as you said.
Looking at things differently is so important. I dont know how you do it but Ill constantly try (goes into long term)
2. I need to get things straight. Lately, my anguish with life and depression you could say with my social life and girls at college has caused me to spend hours in my room each day playing games in my comfort zone. I need to change this. It will be slow but I want to quit this.
3. Because of #2, my grades have slipped. This must change. I need to hit the books again

Long term:
1. I want to develop the kind of personality you have OP
2. I want to have good quality friends (inside and out)
3. I want to be involved in activites I enjoy
4. I want to feel accomplished and do accomplishing things in music and what I am passionate about
5. I wish to someday be involved with good quality girls (inside and out)

How will I change this?
1. With the time I will have once I quit video games I plan to:
-work out
-join more activities at school
-do my exercising things to get a better body and feel confident and accomplished
2. distance myself from the bad influences in my life
3. Maybe join a fraternity or events or yoga classes to meet people and things
4. Be more active in class and whenever Im about on campus. Talk to people I want to but not always be superficial and talk to the hot girls.
5. Dress to impress. I can do a good deal better if I spent the time in the morning to prepare. But with the games, I oversleep and rush to class in the morning.
6. Hit the books and stop wasting time playing on the comp
