Your outlook on life?

Silk Simpson · Posted: Mon Sep 21, 2009 2:01 am

In my few months away from this site, my outlook on life has drastically changed. I never had a specific outlook before, mainly I was just going with the flow and doing good with what I could.

But now I have changed, I now prefer sitting on a bench, away from the noise and the drama of my 8th grade class, alone, rather than getting into a conversation with someone about something useless that will never have reason. This is because I know nothing that anyone will say to me if I stand up and join their little circle will ever be worth the time and effort it took to stand up and walk on over to their little bubble.

I still go with the flow, I still will accept stuff, but now, people are so much less meaningful to me. They are unimportant, unless they prove otherwise. I spent my summer with my brothers friends, they are all around 3 years older than me, and I hung out with my school friends, and other friends who were of my age, maybe 3 times in total. I never wanted to call anyone and say "Hey, come meet me at Albertsons," I never needed to speak to any of them. I went with what my brother's friends did, and never objected to it. If I did object, which was very rare, I'd go into my room and watch a movie or do something entertaining.

I guess my tj'dr version of my outlook on life is "Seek Comfortability, Enjoy what you can, don't waste your life."

Another good way to explain it would be "I don't care what you have to say, it is unimportant, leave me alone."

So whatever, I guess.

What's up with you?

I like this topic. I'll have a carefully thought out response some other day, but for now, I have work to do.

For now, all I can say is that I partially understand what you're going through.

Life is pretty OK with me,
I have those days where I'm like "Yeah Hahaha good one, dude guess what happened..." and all that, but I changed awhile back and had a time where I went "Dude, Shut up. Leave me alone for awhile, just go."
So I know where you're coming from.

Though You have to put yourself out a little, to let people know your still all there.

I think you mean tl;dr Silk, not tj'dr.

Also, life is what you make of it.

I think I've discovered my Utopia. I'm as happy as can be, excluding depressing factors beyond my control.

It's routine.

And I love it.

I'm not a fan of not knowing what's going to happen. To be frank, in the past, all surprises have been bad, so to be in a never ending cycle of predictability is awesome.

Its strange, I think I know what you mean.
Lately, I've been getting this feeling that just makes everything seem less important than it used to be before. School dramas and gossip, etc just seem so pathetic and petty, that I can't believe I had even an ounce of interest in them ever. When people complaing about school (the huge amount of homework, the horrible teachers, etc.) I feel like going, Oh shut up. I mean, I've got to do it to fulfill ANY of my goals, so whats the point of stewing in your own grief? Just get a move on, right?
Even fighting with my dad doesn't hold much interest. I just keep thinking, 4 more years, just 4 more years and I'll be out of here, and just be able to do my own thing.
Its weird, but pleasent. It just removes me from all that craziness going on, I can just be happy while everyone around me is going crazy.

This reminds me of this webcomic: http://xkcd.com/610/

Getting into conversations about uselesss thing is one of the highlights of life! I used to have little to no friends most of which I hated but since I've started talking to people I actually like talking about useless things is one of the highlights of my day!

I always have the urge to go up to people who go "This conversation is so pointles etc." and go "so do something" become a philosopher or artist or whatever

My outlook is live fast die old and leave a smoking trail behind you

I like being with my friends and love socializing...

in the past couple of weeks, I made alot of friends.

And now I'm trying to be with my friends more and stop being at home.

It is just boring being alone now.

I go with this saying from a song from monty pypthon.

'Life is a pice of spit when you look at it'

I don't like this version of the saying you know what I mean.

Well, I believe life can be boring, but that is what it is. I however have a goal in my life. I am aiming for large general knowledge of the world. Knowledge is power. Also I tend to go philosophing something very random (Is there noise when tree falls in the forest when nobody is there to hear it?= pretty usually nowadays.

I am philosoraptor. Hmmmmm.

Computer is my life.
School keeps me somewhat socialized and sane.
And then I get back home on the computer.

Oh, my life is so boring...

Hm...

Well, I'm mostly on the computer, and on MSN, rather than outside, but I occasionally get properly dressed and actually go outside. But I'm more of an outcast from the group, as I go to a different school to everyone else.

School's completely different though. I'm the one that prances about, laughing all the time and smiling. Hannah's normally the one that jumps around smiling with me (Hannah's one of my friends, if you haven't guessed already).

Oh, there's also Lucy who I'm bouncing around a lot. Grin grin

She doesn't mind, as she does it too. She's pretty damn similar to me, including our accents.
