Thread: Going towards the Fastlane but sometimes feel ashamed. Why?

I am not saying this applies to you but it could for instance, stem from not getting enough praise as a child, or from having siblings that were praised more, or that acheived more

Shit, this some deeeep stuff. Truth is I was gangraped when I was kid.

Really? Because a statement like that is not one most people read in a thread that has so far been serious and immediately think "Oh, he's just being sarcastic.... getting gang raped is totally something to joke about."

Whether I have or do not have personal issues is not important here, although I think everyone has some personal issues to a certain extent.....

How does Shane asking you to think about the things that shape your value system equal him saying you've got issues?

Of course I was not gang raped when I was a kid. I am sure no kid was ever gang raped in the past 1000 years.

That's interesting, because I can name at least three stories that made national news regarding a child being gang raped this year alone.

Honestly, I don't really know how to discuss this issue any further. Everything is pretty much covered in the above posts.

If I were not at least half a Fastlaner who only has to work 20 hours a week, I doubt would have the time to entertain this.

You certainly don't know how to discuss this any further and oh snap, what's that? Are you making a quip about being semi-fastlane and only working 20 hrs a week on this board, when you have problems with that aspect in real life? You might want to ponder why that is.

First of all, the word philosophical has a totally different meaning from psychological. You spent a few hundred words analysing me psychologically in depth.

First of all, his opening statement was philosophical... "there's only one real judge of character and achievement in this world". He then went on to elaborate in a psychological manner about what influences the criteria one uses to make said judgment. And secondly, he said it was just psychological babble and that he didn't know if it applied to you or not... all he tried to do is pose a few questions to get you to think. No where in his comment did he psychoanalyze you.

Second of all, ...

I am getting tired of this shit. Sorry pal.

What shit? No one here has attacked you. We've only shared our sympathies with you or tried to get you to think about why what you've stated bothers you so much so you can get to the point of not giving a damn.

*shrugs* All I know is, there's this thing called tact... you should try developing it.
