What are you searching for...?

[Phoenix Flame]

K, I had a question for everyone; but it is mainly directed towards the women in the forum.

What do you do when you are disappointed?


I'm asking out of curiosity for the most part. I am doing a study about getting your heart back. One of the points that was brought up is when people don't get what they need, they seek it out from other places, people or activities. My curiosity was aroused... Personally, I tend to disassociate myself from real life and retreat to the internet, video games, or chess. I guess that is a vague description. Simple really.

So, how about it? What do youfind yourself doing in these times?

Well I got my first couple of answers today...not from the forum of course!

One of my friend's relatives said he usually finds his answer at the bottom of a bottle.

His aunt said that she usually yells a lot and doesn't get out of her bathrobe.

Anyone care to be O & H?

I didn’t reply because I wasn’t a Gal'... but since nobody else is, I guess I’ll go ahead (if that’s ok).

When I’m disappointed I usually go up to my room and sleep, or play games. Usually sleep though, as if a game makes me angry (which is very, very, often), it will tend to worsen the situation. If it’s something huge, i tend to go for a walk, go outside, and just think about it. Most people try to get their minds off what they are disappointed about, but I think it helps to evaluate the situation and think about the problems, and a solution to them.

PS: What’s O&H?

If it's OK...I put a heavy metal cd in my cd player and turn it up all the way, and try to drown out the sadness.

Writing poetry always cheers me up... If I try to write, but I can't, it is just worse

Thanks everyone for your imput. I'm looking for a lot of opinions on this topic so anyone else, feel free to chime in. Not just females either - although I would appreciate their imput most of all...

PS: What’s O&H?

Open and honest.

I can lose my appetite sometimes plus I sulk a lot. But a nights sleep normally sorts it out.

when im upset i normally don't eat,and don't talk to anyone,and sometimes takes weeks to get over what makes me sad.
one more thing,i listen to sad music.
so basically i just do things that make me even more upset.

I'm studying Inequations atm...

Thank you everyone...great info here. I can relate to you Kat. It seems when I'm disappointed with life I back-off <basically.> It's interesting that one would do things to further slump themselves into the disappointment...sometimes making it a depression - rather than doing things which make them happy. I'm not talking about self affirmation either - affirmation w/o action is delusion.

May I ask what's your study for?

I guess I listen to music. It helps me a lot.

 

[Phoenix Flame]

A place where I belong, and knowledge of my past, and my future. I need them. I want them. That is all.

I am searching for my way to God. That's all, nothing in this world compares to that. And please do not start making a debate on this.

 

[Cloud101]

I respect that.
