The Whining and Bitching Thread

[Cronopio]

I've heard BPD is a real bitch.

 

[PrincessHades]

BPD is hell.

Welp he full on broke up with me after 2 years, I actually did something wrong and get why he's upset about that, but I genuinely had no idea, I made an idiotic mistake. I'm sure it's still tentative, hopefully not for real. I understand if it is, but I hope that he thinks about it a little more and comes around.

I have BPD so this is hell, feels like the person I was for the past two years is dead.

If things remain how they are, the silver lining is that I'm more free now and maybe hitting an emotional rock bottom will be good for me.

Breakup eh? Hope it goes well.

Going through the same, except it was after six years lol.

It gives me an excuse to get back into my sloppy sleaze metal aesthetic lol.

I'm sorry to hear and I hope you're holding up okay too. It just keeps hitting me in waves but ik they'll become less frequent. This was my longest running and most mature relationship so it's tough, but I'm going to survive. I'm accepting whatever happens at this point, there's nothing I can do and whatever happens is meant to be, I'm at the mercy of stuff I can't control and I find it strangely comforting right now.

Lol on the sleaze metal thing, idk I got the most Steel Panther mental image

Got heavily into running regularly the past few months and turned the speed up too high last week like a jackass. Pulled the fuck out of the muscles in my left leg and can barely walk.

Oh yeah, patch jacket, bandana, aviators.

 

[WorldObliteration33]

I find my knee and upper leg deciding to stop being Jewish to be "strangely comforting" right now.

 

[WorldObliteration33]

Also, why don't you just STOP having bpd?

 

[WorldObliteration33]

Kidding. My ex had it and it was a nightmare to deal with. Changed her look and identity constantly. Incredibly jealous all the time. Constantly obsessed with where I was when we weren't together etc etc. I hope she meets or has met a man who can nurture what I couldn't.

How do people listen to early Slayer and stop there in 2024 almost 2025? I'm not even talking about taking the plunge into extreme metal immediately. By the time I was listening to Slayer it wasn't more than a month later that I was at least aware of Bathory, Norwegian black metal and legacy death metal acts. Remember, this is early 2000s internet too. I was mostly getting this information from metal publications.

Think it's just wilful fucking ignorance and lack of overall interest in diving deep into even the most surface level parts of the underground. Either way I'm tired of running into these types of people. Knowing who Bathory is, knowing what metal-archives is, and, frankly, just not being stupid isn't asking a lot from someone who claims to like heavy music.

Probably sound like jdawg but, hey, sometimes you gotta poser bash.

Always figured people like this just aren't in it like the rest of us and never will be. I had a mate that worshiped Maiden but refused to go a single step further. Wouldn't even give Priest or Sabbath the time of day, let alone any other NWOBHM bands.

 

[WorldObliteration33]

Yep, it's always those 1 or 2 band people who are the fucking worst about that.

How about appreciating bands on their own merits instead of comparing every band you hear to your favorite band?

 

[Cronopio]

Who gives a flying fuck what people listen to. FFS.

 

[WorldObliteration33]

It's annoying and awkward when you find yourself locked into a conversation with someone about music the person you're having it with knows nothing about. Otherwise I wouldn't.

People like that aren't always nice about it either. I try to talk to anyone about music as if they already know the bands I'm mentioning but even that isn't useful when the person is only going to give you a weird look and not even make an effort to take recommendations.

It's FINE to be new to metal or anything else for that matter and you and I both know you are anyway so cut the shit and be humble for once in your life. That's how I got into metal.

 

[Cronopio]

Was that last sentence aimed at me, or just people in general?

 

[WorldObliteration33]

People in general.

I remember having a co-worker who, when we first met, name dropped your typical nu-metal or early 2000s metalcore and I would basically give him work around responses without giving him my actual opinion. Ya know, to be polite, and avoid coming across as a concieted asshole.

Later on he asks me to send him some music I'm into. I send him death metal (might've been Demigod) and it was the typical "can't understand what they're saying, this is just noise, etc." response. Whatever. Later on he starts berating me about the music I share on Facebook, how it's terrible, how he can't last two seconds without shutting it off and how he can't believe someone could like music like that.

It's like "Hey asshole, if I knew you were going to act like this, I would've dusted off my old faithful poser bludgeoning crowbar I haven't used since high school the second you opened your mouth about Killswitch Engage, and Slipknot, and Korn, and As Blood Runs Black and whatever other shit you like that isn't even in the same wheelhouse of what I listen to."

I didn't because I'm not 16 anymore but my point is that being modest and not caring what another person listens to isn't always returned lol. Run into that situation a couple of different times.
