Ummmm... Hi, I'm introducing myself and a few insecurities...

A Lonely Wind's picture

Hi, I'm a gay 14 year old in St. Petersburg, FL. I've known I am gay since a long time ago. I really don't remember how I found out lol.

Um, I've been looking on as a guest for a while, and I've noticed that a few people sem kinda, in all politeness, eotionally disturbed. Like, I mean, look at all the suicide stuff on here.

Patnelsonchilds just tried to off himself with sleeping pills, Wantsout has seriously weird and random mood swings (Not to mention another suicide attempt), Adam A is just freaky, and quite a few others.

Is there any, like, psychologist on here that can diagnose these people?

I hope you all don't think I'm being rude, cuz I'm just trying to be observating.

Okay, WTF? Do you always

Okay, WTF? Do you always just come on to a group and tell people what;s wrong with them? Who made you a doctor, huh?

You don't wanna be rude? Yeah, right, bullshit. If you didn't want to be rude, you shouldn't have posted, you asshole! What gives you the right to say that kind of thing to me and Pat? Maybe Adam, but hell, he is freaky.

You don't want to be

You don't want to be RUDE?!
What the hell is wrong with you, guy?!
That's just downright cruel! LGBT people go through a lot of crap in their existence, especially when first coming out, when they first realise they are, when they have to introduce their first partner to their parents and so on.
And beyond that, there are many things that cause depression and anxiety, which often lead to suicidal tendencies.
How DARE you say anything like that to Pat, WantsOut, or Adam!
Pat is one of the greatest people this world has been graced with, WantsOut writes beautiful poetry.
And Adam is just an awesomely intense person and fantastic artist.
What have you done that gives you the right to look down on them?
Who gave you the right to do such a thing? NO-ONE!
So shut your damn mouth child, this post is just downright horrible!
And many, many, many people are suicidal or depressed, myself included, and you have no right whatsoever to say such things to them, it's not easy to deal with. Not that you'd understand that, apparently.
How dare you?
Oasis is a supportive and friendly community, not a prejudiced and biased one.
Think about your next post, because this one is just offensive, at best.

I'm so sorry you're just too

I'm so sorry you're just too mature, politically correct and perfect for all of us. Which unfortunately would make you incredibly boring.

I think there's something called emotions, ranting, personal expression and sarcasm. If you haven't come across any of these in your life, you're in denial. Not in the closet way, but in a sad, emotionally suppressed way. Unless you're just too ordinary, which again makes you incredibly boring.

And please do continue your 'observating', because we're really just animals in a zoo to satisfy your bloated ego.

You have no right to judge those people.

Oh, and do try and enjoy your stay.

Wait... ^_^ Did he really

Wait... ^_^ Did he really say observating? OMG it's Dubyah!

O_o

What the hell is your problem? Were you actually hiding around as a guest until you thought you had enough information on everyone or something? Do you have an opinion about all of us?

Even though I haven't spoken to Pat yet, I can tell he's one of the best things that ever happened to this site. Don't you dare judge him for his suicide attempt! Same goes for Tim. And yeah, Adam is kinda freaky, but let him be.
And seriously, if you have a problem with any of them or us or whatever, that just shows you could try to be a little more accepting. Well, no, a LOT.

Geez.

Hmm...

Not the best start. Hope your second post goes better for you. :-)

It's a peer support site. No counselors or anything here.

Hey.

Were all human you know.

You'd be surprised how many people have "issues". You get to high school and you're hard pressed to find someone who doesn't. I mean, we don't all share them with the world. But everyone has their problems.

And we're people too, would you talk like that to a friend who is having a hard time? It's easy to be cold over the internet, don't forget that on the other side of that screen and behind all of that text, there is another person.

I'm giving you some benefit of the doubt because you're new and you're young. But, it's generally a bad idea to introduce yourself and proceed to call everyone crazy or emotionally disturbed. :/ This is a site for support.

Hopefully your second post goes better than your first. Welcome.

you know that phrase your

you know that phrase your parents always told you, "If you don't have something nice to say, keep it to yourself"?

yeah, keep that in mind next time.

also, if this is just some hater trying to rile us up, boyo you better watch out 'cause we crazies can fuck you up.

besides, GUESS WHAT! since we're on here pouring out our deepest emotions and feelings, we're not taking it out on everyday life.

so for those of you falling in love
keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right
throw yourself in the midst of danger
and keep one eye open at night.

Have you ever heard that expression about first impressions? You know, "First impressions are the greatest impression on the mind."

You just failed miserably.

It's cool and all that your fourteen year old brain has figured it all out, so thank you so much for telling the rest of us how to live. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Given your hasty assessment of the people here as "eotionally disturbed" (I think you meant eMotionally) it is my assessment of you that you shouldn't post on websites where people with an IQ above 75 will be reading your posts.

You may want to stop "observating" and start reading "Social Ineptitude for Dummies." Or better yet, you may wish to take an English language course and check your spelling before insulting people. Emotionally disturbed, are you? Well, this healthy diatribe of mine is just going round circle to call you an idiot.

There's hope for you yet! So... I'll help you out here. Don't go onto a journaling website and oh, for all intents and purposes we'll call it OasisJournals.com, and personally insult three of the most well known and beloved members on the website. Also try to avoid insulting everybody on said website.

Better yet, just don't post here again.

OK...

...I'm sure you've figured it out, but that was NOT a good way to introduce yourself to Oasis.

WantsOut is a good guy. So is Adam, no matter how freaky he may sometimes seem. And Pat is a pillar of Oasis whom we dearly love. The rest of us are who we are: sometimes strange, sometimes depressed, sometimes wonderful. Oasis is our outlet and a place to find support. We're a community here, and we don't take kindly to being insulted. When a stranger walks in and proceeds to tell us we're emotionally disturbed and need a psychiatrist, that is insulting.

Respect us and we will respect you.

Oasis regulars: may I ask that we ease off the blasting for now? I think the point has been made, and this is still a newbie. If we give him/her a second chance, I don't see what we have to lose.

Lonely Wind: I hope your second post goes better. Take care what you say here; you've made a very bad first impression.

Welcome to Oasis.

I doubt that this guy is for real. I just talked to Pat who thinks that he/she is just trying to mess with us.

That is an opinion which I

That is an opinion which I base on absolutely nothing, however, so don't take my word for it. Some people are just grandiose and lack any kind of social skills. I honestly don't know which this is.

very possible.

However, I stand by my points.

I agree with Splash. If it's

I agree with Splash. If it's a joke, they won't likely be back. If it's not, well, we all do stupid things sometimes, and we all usually wish we had a second chance. I admit that would require a bit of doing here, but people here have messed up before, apologized and been forgiven. Me, for example. That's what makes this such a special place.

some.............

people have problems. you may not have any fucking problems. but this is where we come to share our problems. plus if there were no"freaky" peopl, then there wouldnt be any normal people either. so if you stalk us then complain about us, just complain to your friends. oh yeah your probley to perfect for friends. did you come here just to sling mud? cuases if you did, then you can kindly leave until you can be kind. if adam, pat, and tim left the sight would be as boring as heck. so keep your fucking unkind oppeniens to yourslef. we come here to not be judged. we feel safe here. until people like you come along and make us nervous to even coment, much less post. how long have you been wacthing us? a week, amonth, a year. you have to eccept people for how they are. if you have a problem with the suicidel stuff then dont read it. but that is the real world.

plus.................

i personally think adam is great. he soothes my thirteen year old, sex oreinted mind, and relly can give great advice. tim makes poetry that i couldnt think up in two weeks. and do you have any idea what kind of a fucked up battle ground this would be if pat wernt hear. why dont you just make a list of every one else while your at it. lets see i can immagine mine already." and ferrets, thats one messed up dude. how could any one talk about ferrest and flame throwers so much. i think he should leave so we dont have to listne to him any more. im not trying to be rude just saying how much i despise him"

try again, i supose that i could forgive you, but im a VERY forgiving person.

Gwen's picture

I also messaged this to Adam

I also messaged this to Adam but I want to say it again since he's not replying: I'm sorry about what I said. This post was one of the first things I saw this morning and I didn't take enough time to write and reread what I posted. I normally reread everything like, twice, to see if I make any mistakes or if I even speak normal english.
As stupid as it may sound, a friend of mine uses "freaky" as a nickname (as in "hey freaky!") and she doesn't mean it like what it says in my english-dutch dictionary. I thought it meant something less offending, more fun-ish. I really don't know how to explain it other than this.
I'm just really sorry. I didn't mean to say Adam wasn't a great person, because he is. And I know you won't believe it anyway, no matter how often I say this. So whatever.

ferrets's picture

sorry..........

splash, i just read your entry about no more blasting, if i had read it first i would not have been so eager, you are right that he had enough before i got here.

of course we're all a bit

of course we're all a bit screwed up. have you looked outside at the world we live in? it's a fucked up place, where there's little love for anyone who's 'different'. but oasis is a place where we can BE a bit screwed up, without fear of judgement, or of being told we're wrong.

so...if you're looking for a place to find support, and love, here we are.

as many other people have said, pat is a pillar of the website. YEAH he needs some help, but ya know what? there's not a damn thing wrong with that. WantsOut is a sweet kid, who's going through some hard times. so, what? we should just judge him as being a bad person because he wanted to die? what exactly is wrong with that?

adam (i'm about you out you, man) is a very, very kind young man, who is very troubled, and very talented. did you take the time to look at his artwork? or at the fact that he puts himself out to be attacked time and time again, in the hope that if people are mad at him, they won't think as much about their own problems. he cares so much about all of us, yet doesn't know how to express it.

and me? i spent 6 months of my life wanting to die. does that make me less worthy? i noticed you didn't mention other people in your list of 'disturbed' people. how about the ones who want to cut themselves? or the ones who cry for hours because of the hurtful things their parents say?

and did you not notice the joy here, too? the caring, the understanding. the way complete strangers can come together and become friends. how we are all connected by one thing, yet we find a million other things to share with each other. did you not notice the trust, or the love between us all?

perhaps it's YOU who needs the counseling, and perhaps it's not. because other people have already bashed you, i'm trying desperately to not attack you in my reply. this place isn't about JUDGING. how can you not see that? and how dare you, who seems to have no understanding of what being 'emotionally disturbed' means, suggest that WE need help?

I think he's been bashed

I think he's been bashed enough and I hope hope hope, that no one else adds their two-cents to this if they missed it. Cause it's gonna be overrrrrr killlll. Cause I think the kiddo obviously understands what he did probably wasn't the best of choices. But come on, he's a kid just like all of us. We make stupid decisions and that's what growing up truly is. So personally, I think we should all just forgive and forget.

So welcome to Oasis kiddo! That was a pretty splashy dive into the site and there's probably gonna be some struggling along the way, but hey, I'm a life guard, I've got your back. XD

Hmm...

So, if we act up, you dive after us wearing only a Speedo? That's not really a disincentive, is it?

there's enough drama on this site for now. So, I'm closing down comments on this.
