Larian Studios Forums General Chat The self-confidence thread.

first thing: i'm not mad at u so please don't feel sad about it, ok? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

secondly: upon death u'll lose all. all except your soul (that also depends on your belief). so the basic fact of life is that gain & loss are what u always face in life; be it friends or money or opportunity or job etc. dude, i'm sure u know all these & u're not without experience, right? the fact that u're here & posting in this forum shows that u're alive, literate, educated, & able to feel emotions, therefore reasons for celebration. byblos, u're among the few on earth who are priviledged!

i was a whiny guy until i went down the pits life always have & learnt how much i have though i lost a lot as well. u can't live counting on losses, bud. life's short. so live every day as if it's your last, & i don't mean getting yourself into orgies & swimming in sins. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

somebody said; don't be sorry for loss, be happy that u went through it.

take hold of your life & what u have, byblos. make them count. live with meaning. if u don't have any, find one. religions do provide that & i know there are more.

wish i can help u more. or know how. but please give yourself a chance to have a better life. for as long as there is tomorrow, there is hope. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

let me tell u a bit of what i have to go through once in a while (which can be monthly, or weekly, or even daily); i suffer from depression & u know it's a feeling of sadness without reason. other than medical, that is. i can feel so happy in a minute & the next, in hell. this is what i have to go through till i die. & almost every one close to me do not understand this. they keep saying it's all in the mind & that i'm just putting too much thought on it. it's not. so should i avoid them because they can't understand me? i'm not so high & mighty to say that they're too shallow so i won't mix with them. in fact, i accept them for who they are, flaws & all .... & live.

LIFE is what has been given to u. what u make of it is LIVING.

@ others -> somebody throw in their experiences please. we need your wisdom. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
