I am hurt

[Jason Larsen]

There is one question I can ask to make myself feel better.

Has anyone seen George Jenkins around here?

[Ralph Gillions]

Last here on Christmas Eve I think Jason.

[Jason Larsen]

What, Ralph?

[Matthew Green]

This thread is the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

[Julie T]

He's probably just busy with family and friends over Christmas and New Year, Jason.

[Ralph Gillions]

Lat here on Christmas Eve I think Jason.

Sorry Jason. That should have read "Last here on Christmas Eve".
I have now corrected it.
I agree with Julie; probably having a family holiday.

[Jason Larsen]

Matthew, if you pass off my avatar as your own, that proves it!

[Matthew Green]

Jason, the first ten words of your post were encouragingly normal. Then you went and blew it.

[Jason Larsen]

That's not the only thing I'm hurt about.

[Alec Rivers]

I thought he was going to say, "that's not the only thing I've blown".

[Lesley Hines]

Don't be cryptic Jason - tell us what's troubling you.

[Jason Larsen]

Someone we know is getting married! I am jealous because he is getting a wife and I'm not! I just don't have the courage to admit that to him!

I hope he isn't reading this!

[Lesley Hines]

The grass is always greener matey - take it from my husband

[Jason Larsen]

Lesley, thank the lord.

You're a sweet lady.

[Matt Morrison]

The grass is always greener matey - take it from my husband

I'm not sure that sounds like much greener grass to me.

You're a rude, rude man! I like that

[Jason Larsen]

I need somebody else to break the news to Dinos that I'm jealous of him.

I just can't do it myself.

I don't want this to turn into a soap opera, actually, which it would if I started monopolizing this thread.

[Jason Larsen]

By the way, Lesley, no, Matt is not mean.

[Lesley Hines]

By the way, Lesley, no, Matt is not mean.

Thanks - I'll remember that the next time I need a tenner.

Don't worry your head about t'other, either. If by any chance he's missed it I'll break it to him gently the next time I see him.

[Kirk Bevins]

Haha! There's a word for this and I can't think what it is.

[Charlie Reams]

Try this one.

[Jason Larsen]

Charlie?

[Karen Pearson]

Jason, it is fine to be envious of someone as long as you don't resent them. I am envious that Dinos was lucky enough to meet the love of his life at 15 whereas I didn't meet mine until I was 31. But I don't resent him for that - I'm very happy for him. The world would be a happier place if we all were as lucky as Dinos and Emma.

[Jason Larsen]

Karen, can I tell you the truth?

I didn't think so before, but now I think Charlie was right about what he said.

You're lucky I feel comfortable telling you all that I'm on the autistic spectrum. I don't tell that to just anybody.

Had Dinos not gotten engaged, I would not have hesitated to open up to him.

[Dinos Sfyris]

The world would be a happier place if we all were as lucky as Dinos and Emma.

Awww cheers KP

Jason, there's no need to worry. Kai broke your feelings to me gently. You can always come and talk to me if you like in future

I believe there's someone special out there for everyone and I hope you find that person, Jason. Your soulmate. That person that Carey-fies you completely.

[Jason Larsen]

I mean it that my feelings probably won't change.

Dinos, thank you for your words of encouragement but I am still not adding you as a friend on Facebook. The fact that you even attempted to ask your girlfriend to marry you dumbfounds me.

It will be beyond me if you decide to, say, have a child in the near future.

I don't care if you ever come back here again.

Case closed.

[Jason Larsen]

What did I say?

Case closed.

Lol, what in the fuck?

[Michael Wallace]

I really should learn to read every thread, no matter how boring they seem, because you never know when something like this is going to appear out of (apparently) nowhere.

[Charlie Reams]

This is the best thread ever. I might just delete all the others.

[Alec Rivers]

Jason, have they changed your medication?

[Phil Makepeace]

Jason, have they changed your medication?

To cocaine perhaps?

[Kai Laddiman]

Jason, have they changed your medication?

To cocaine perhaps?

He's gonna need morphine to stop the hurt soon.

[Ian Volante]

I'm as happy as a clam!

[Julie T]

Jason, being in a relationship isn't a bed of roses.
Even if the other person is madly in love with you, no-one, apart from yourself, is completely on your side. That means that you often have to put the other person's feelings first and compromise, even if you feel very strongly about something. This means that you need a lot of social skills and empathy to make a relationship work.

It's natural to feel a little envious of others who you think are having a better life than you. However, you really shouldn't try to make them feel bad for being happy. How do you think Dinos feels about your attitude, when he seems to value your friendship so much?

Your previous posts show you to be a very caring, thoughtful young man. I hope you get over this soon.
