Come on,you know what I mean. The stuff that makes you want to scream each time you see it YET AGAIN!! Such as--

How do I get a boyfriend/girlfriend?
What would happen if we all got together?

Give us some of the old tried and true ..What have you got???

bezoomny · 10-26-2009, 05:50 AM

"It's so much more difficult to be a guy with SA than a girl."
"It's so easy for a woman to get a boyfriend."
"Christianity is evil."
"America sucks."
"God is imaginary."
"Christians are stupid."
"The South is full of stupid inbred hicks."
"People at SAS enjoy their misery and don't want to be cured."
"The moderators are evil."
"All women or all men behave like this."
"Dating is so hard for me that I'm gonna go gay."
"People with SA are more intelligent/understanding/interesting than normal people."
"If you can do this, that, and the other, then you don't have SA. You're just shy."
"I have SA/depression/OCD/GAD/bipolar disorder SO MUCH WORSE than you."

bezoomny I haven't seen any of that (except maybe the "girls easily get boyfriends" thing) but without reading your details I could guess you're a female christian from southern USA.

Anyway I think a new marijuana thread is created each day.

the anti-religion thing does come up now and then though

Dempsey · 10-26-2009, 07:24 AM

Ooh another one:
"have you ever admitted your SAD to anyone?"

Still Waters · 10-26-2009, 07:48 AM

beoomny- EXCELLENT!! - I'll throw in some more -
"What's the meaning of life?"
"If I reach 30 and haven't conquered this,I'm giving up"
"Do you have problems with going to the bathroom in public restrooms?"
"Why do we need relationships?""
"If you had millions,could you be happy even with SA?"
"What type of job is good for people with SA?"
"Should I tell my parents/boss about my SA?"

veron · 10-26-2009, 08:08 AM

"I'm so depressed right now"
"I hate people"
"Anyone else get shy when [insert anxiety-provoking situation here]"
"I don't have 500 friends on Facebook and everyone thinks I'm a loser because of it, I hate it so what should I do"

Those are some that came to mind

Still Waters · 10-26-2009, 08:10 AM

veron-Spot on concerning Facebook - don't people understand how meaningless and shallow that is?

Banzai · 10-26-2009, 08:50 AM

I had a really bad day today.
I hate <insert annoying person/relative>
I hate work.
I hate my life.
How to react around opposite gender.
Does anyone else have a problem with <insert SA symptom>
I want to drop out of college.
I want to quit.
I have no friends/I've been here x years and still made no friends.
I hate it when people say <insert typical SA comment such as you're so quiet etc>
How do you reply to <insert pointless question such as how are you>
I hate my friends/people around me.

I don't know if this thread is a good idea though...you might make some people feel bad about making new threads

.

Still Waters · 10-26-2009, 08:55 AM

Banzai - Not really meaning to make anyone feel bad - I'm probably one of the most unoriginal posters here. The repetitiveness does get to you pretty quickly,howver,it's important people bring up what they need to. I don't mind,I just skip on to something that interests me.

I think its spot on....maybe you havent been here long enough to have seen the repetition that older members have.

Logan X · 10-26-2009, 02:44 PM

I'm a virgin.

Using drugs/alcohol/milk with brandy to cope with SA.

Does your mom, dad, sister, brother, dog, cat, bird, cousin, uncle and aunt and know about your SA.

Are you scared of posting in(on?) online forums.

I don't mind seeing the same threads being posted. Thats normal i guess. Whats sad is me being here to see the same threads being posted over and over, year after year

sanria22 · 10-26-2009, 02:52 PM

"girls don't like me because.. I'm physically repugnant, a virgin, creep them out too much, they just don't like me"
"why don't girls like me"
"are you a virgin"
"I will never... get a boyfriend/girlfriend, lose virginity, kiss someone, touch anyone, get a job, touch a monster etc."
lol

I'm not Christian. I just don't see the point in calling an entire religious group moronic over and over again.

And just you wait, you'll see those topics about a thousand times.
