0/10 can't say I've seen you before

Yep. Most of the time there will be a window in which you must act. Too early and it's weird, too late and you get ljbf anyway. After school though, there are more windows and they get smaller. There will be windows for the transition into normal conversation, attraction, qualification and every other step of the way. So you need to learn to realize when the window opens - makes things a little harder.

It ended up going away at like 11am this morning. 13 hour attack. joy. I'll look into a psychologist, and also a hypnotherapist. My mum's friend is a very good one apparently. Is well known and people come from all over to see her. She had surgery once and hypnotized herself so she could do it without anesthetic. I did some more research and I've got a habit of fighting the anxiety back, which mentally exhausts me but also bottles it in which is a bad idea. It's hard not to fight it, because it feels so much better than trying to relax. I know a little about NLP and I had an idea about using it on myself, and making an anchor for feeling calm. If it works, when an attack comes I can use my anchor and it should help. I'm starting to get symptoms of depression again so I want to tackle this asap. It took me 4 [bleep]ing years to fight off depression and until recently I've had a great life. Never again. :wall:

Meditation didn't work, I ended up breaking my headphones in frustration. 2am now and it looks like I'm in for a long night, it's lasted for 4 hours and counting :cry: I had a look and it seems that in Australia, I can get a rebate for some of a psychologist's fees if I get a referral from a doctor, who will recommend a certain amount of visits. I'll look into it, but I owe my mum a lot of money for my car loan and I'm not earning a whole lot so I probably can't afford it. I did get offered a job as an avionics technician in the airforce (have till jan next year to make up my mind, I'd love to do it but I don't want to be deployed to a rural area which seems to be all the bases except brisbane) who might pay for it, but then again I would have to lie and say they started after I was employed because I didn't mention it in the interviews. I'll probably talk to a doctor, at least to see what my options are. The reason why I don't like the idea of pills is because being dependent on something is one of the only things I'm scared of, and I'd hate to get addicted/have to rely on them. Until the end of last year I was an athlete, and I read exercise could help so I might try and pick it up again. Training without a personal trainer will make it much harder though, I prefer being yelled at :lol:

I'm not a stressed out guy, I usually go with the flow and wing it. I never really panic about anything, even during the 3 seconds before my car crash, but in the last few months I've been having seemingly random panic or anxiety attacks that are getting worse and more frequent. I feel hot and clammy, I get all weak and shaky and I feel really anxious frustrated, irritated and like I'm heading towards certain doom. I can't concentrate because it's stuck in my head and it won't go away, I just crave the end of the attack so badly I want to start screaming. My thoughts go to suicide because I want the attack to end so badly. I feel mentally exhausted because I feel like I'm trying to fight it, and if I relax for a second it will get worse. My thoughts start running in loops like a bad lsd trip. I have troubles breathing, like something is pressing on my chest. My head hurts, and I get the feeling of a knife going through my eyeball, and I feel like throwing up. A million times worse than any physical pain I've ever been through. They last from a half hour to a couple hours, and have steadily been getting worse so I decided to try and figure out how to stop it. A doctor won't be able to help with that sort of thing, I don't want to solve it with pills. It's 12am and I've had one the last hour or so but It's not as bad now as it was earlier. I just downloaded a couple meditation tracks and hope that will help me sleep. Has anyone had similar experiences? I need some ideas on how to stop it during waking hours, preventing it all together would be great too. [bleep] it's getting bad again... im gonna try the meditation thing and hope for some suggestions tomorrow morning

the force, flying, good health :thumbup:

I disagree. Guys who try and remove all conflict with a girl/buy them stuff etc are trying to manipulate them. Guys who don't try and manipulate but aren't fun to be around are boring, and not flirting. Neither are natural. You can't just say "well that's the way I am I shouldn't change." "Boring" or "shy" isn't a personality, it's a bad habit. It's never about changing yourself, it's about being your best self. I'm a male - being alpha is natural, not fake and regrettable. For example at a party I'm going to tonight, I could dress average and not really talk to anyone. I could also dress like a rock star, walk in confidently like I own the place and be "that guy" who is the center of the group. I sure know which one I'm choosing. "Walking around" is a bad way to build up confidence, because you will get stuck in your own head. You're also wasting time that could be spent doing something productive. 3 second rule exists for a reason. Weed is also very easy to obtain, even at 12. Whether it is 'messed up' or not is debatable.

My lungs seem to be fine, until recently I've been a state level athlete. I'm still quicker and fitter than any non smokers I know.

Your lungs start repairing themselves after you stop smoking, so occasional smoking won't harm you permanently. I've been an occasional smoker for 7 years and have no addiction - I've stopped for months at a time repeatedly.

I know that's common in Australia but ... Dan's a guy. Some people just call all people working as a checkout chick. ^ If the parents find out they can take you to court for statutory rape if they want, it makes no difference if she testifies that she wanted to do it.

Younger girls like older guys because they are more mature than most guys their own age since girls mature faster. I work as a checkout chick at a grocery store, and the younger girls are pretty damn flirty... :? From my experience, older guys who go out with younger girls are the ones who can't attract girls their own age, and they have more confidence around younger girls. Might not apply to every guy who does that and I don't mean anything by it, it's just what I've seen. At 18, I tend to go for girls that are at least 17 - much younger than that would just feel weird to me.

Last night (it's 1am) I went to a parkway drive concert at byron bay. Few hours drive from the gold coast but it's worth it, much better there than brisbane because there is much less security, a better mosh pit, and no barrier so you can get up and sing/do stage dives :thumbup: Winston gave me the mic and I sang part of romance is dead just like last year Both this year and last year I'm pretty much unscathed other than a sore neck from head banging but all my mates get wrecked :lol: This year one friend is now walking with a limp and thinks he might have a hairline fracture in 1 or both of his hips, another has a chunk missing from his shin because it hit some guys tooth when he did a dive, and another got concussed. Great thing about it is even though it gets pretty violent, mosh pits still have ethics like picking people up when they fall.

I think companies that sell emergency supplies will make a [cabbage] load of money, and a whole lot of people will feel like idiots and tell each other they didn't really believe it anyway.

So in other words, you have no actual reason to call him a douche. Glad that's sorted :thumbup: You mean high value girls with standards? \ Personally I don't believe in [bleep]s. imo it's just an insult girls use to lower each others values to raise their own. Sex as a choice isn't a logical thing most of the time, it's just based on emotions which people have very limited control over. Better looking girls are hit on more often, so they have a wider selection of suitable guys. Girls who consciously go out of their way to sleep around are the exception, but I don't think there is a huge amount of them.

I tend to wear stuff like button ups, polos, jeans, bucket shoes and the occasional casual suit, (only in clubs ofc) but I mean I also have a pair of bright green vans, plenty of t shirts, and I sometimes wear a tie with a t shirt for S&Gs etc. Plenty of silver. I have a silver watch, eyebrow piercing, ear piercings, rings, neck chain etc. http://www.hairstylesdesign.com/gallery ... les_01.jpg is about the same as my hairstyle atm. I suppose I dress like what the socially inept guys here would also call a douche.

OK, let me rephrase that. Why can't someone wear a sleeveless shirt, [bleep]e their hair, color it (though I'm not sure if it is colored. I'm no specialist though), and at the same time, be nice? Oh, and please stop insulting people, especially the guy that tried to help you out when you were down only 8 pages ago. Yeah you're right, he could be nice, but alls I'm saying is that he LOOKS like a tool. And it's only the internet, I truly hope that no ones feelings are sincerly hurt by what I say, I just get alittle bored every now and then. How does the hair/whatever else make him a tool though? Because he dresses confidently? ooohhh :roll: Clearly you're grasping at straws. God forbid somebody wears something you wouldn't wear.

You're calling a guy a douche because of how he dresses. Is that because he seems superficial to you? Isn't superficial to say that about someone you don't know? Though you do have a good point about abc's ability to converse. The way you dress determines the way you're labeled. If he was dressed in all black with makeup I would call him a goth, but instead he's in a wife-beater with [bleep]ed hair, therefore labeled a tool(or douche, same diff). Not to mention the guy looks like 12-pack from VH1. Goth is a style, 'a douche' is not.

It's funny how you are all judging this guy and calling him a douche based on 1 picture, just because you don't like his pose and style. Plus you know nothing about him other than that 1 pose. You my friends, are the douches :lol:

I've been open and honest this whole thread. (apart from things I'm not allowed to say) I have no reason to lie, I don't care what somebody thinks of me on the internet. Oh wow... Ok fine I'll bite 1 last time. You're a moron. Period. You make assumption after assumption, yet you can't seem to understand that you know nothing about me or bts. I'm not power hungry, I don't care whether I'm a mod or not, I never go looking for people to report. I'm not obsolete, It's not even a job. A multi million dollar company (while not perfect, obviously know what they are doing. If you know better go make your own game.) invited me to help out the community, I didn't mind helping out. That's it. Oh and I can destroy your 'looking for reports' argument, even though you will ignore this too. Even if it were completely based on reports, I played for 7 years, if I had reported regularly then that's more than enough time to get a lot in through casual play. But of course you will still ignore logic as usual and think I hung around looking for trouble. Lets recap: You know nothing, but claim to know everything. And of course you're going to glaze over all that, and assume a bunch of stuff about somebody you've never met because of a crown next to his name, and you saw somebody else you didn't like with a crown so they all must be like that. You'd make a good nazi. As for the point you completely glazed over: Though of course, you're going to dodge that again too. You've proven over and over that you aren't worth anybodies time. I'm done arguing with you, I've had more intelligent discussions with my 6 year old cousin.

I did address it, and you predictably ignored it :lol:

Good catch! I knew the response was familiar. People should really have more respect for this thread than to troll it. EDIT: oops, I almost forgot. SOmeone asked what clothes they should wear along with what they should say. Things to say could be anything. Anything. Quote a popular movie, or the latest Comedy Cenrtal special. Just don't spit out random bullspit. Clothes don't matter really. No matter what you where, unless you live in a really tiny area, you'll be able to identify with someone. The sad truth around my neck of the woods is that if you shop at American Eagle, you gain instant friends #-o Clothing does matter to an extent. The 3 rules are basically wear clothes that fit well, have identity and peacock. Whatever you do, have a style. Look at the guy on the left, you can tell by the way he dresses that he doesn't have a wide selection of women. The guy on the right looks the complete opposite. Don't just have vans, jeans a basic t and a plain haircut because you just look average. No girl wants to be with an average guy, she is hardwired to want to be with a guy who raises her value. The guy on the right just screams confidence and identity. Low value guys will think he looks like a douche, it might also turn away some women, but he still has a wider selection than a plain looking guy with no fashion rudder. A girl will align herself with a guy that belongs to a tribe she either wants to join, or visit. If you're in no tribe, you will have a much harder time. That said, most of you are in high school and you don't really need game when you're in school anyway because it's so easy. Expressing an identity though your clothes will put you a head above the rest though. Look at the emo kids, they all look like douche bags. But they have an identity, so they are often successful with girls. Look at the jocks, same scenario. If you pick a style, make sure it goes with your personality because otherwise you just seem weird.

See, you are not a player mod. You have no idea about what goes on behind the scenes, so don't pretend you do. Your auto reporting idea was rightfully squashed, and your only argument now is a couple assumptions based on, well nothing. Quit while you're ahead :lol: Oh and it WAS done months ago.

It was always a quality over quantity thing, but this "sudden change" is more of a one that's been happening for a while. I guess jagex just didn't think/want to post it until now. I mean the pmod forum stickies etc were changed a couple times a while ago, each time with more emphasis on being a role model etc, and they added a couple other big things a while back to the pmod system which I can't mention but can assure you points towards it being more 'community based' rather than reporting. If it were based on nothing but reports around the time I became a pmod, there is no way I would have gotten an invite. Sworddude198, you'll find he makes pretty much nothing but assumptions and he also tends ignore arguments and tries to retort them with more assumptions. He ignored your argument that pretty much ended the discussion, and I'm sure I have brought it up once or twice earlier for him to ignore.
