Looking for advice for personal change. With the circumstances of my life left in the dark (Everyone’s got problems), I ask for someone to help me figure out a way to restructure my philosophy towards iving. I have been on a loop cycle of failure after failure in virtually everything I put my mind towards for the past 5 years.
As I am today, I feel that everything that could possibly be done in this life is ultimately futile and even in the most lucrative circumstances has no collective meaning whatsoever in the scheme of the universe. I am glad to say I do not believe emotions to be at play here except as a product of this extreme pessimism. Though it is as if I am in a flight pattern that goes nowhere, because what is the point of going anywhere if where we are is ultimately going to be controlled and supervised by the rest of the pious population till we grow old and decrepit, only to reach our final destination of a most likely unpleasant death.
I don’t follow social trends and have a very hard time understanding any other person these days. I feel as though every day I wake up further into a dream, with no real niche, journey, or plans. The idea of contentment, discontentment, happiness, sadness, success, failure mean nothing to me. I would go as far as to say I am undecided about even the most trivial decisions, as though I have completely disregarded to ideas of opinion or choice. This is beginning to have a profound effect on my social aptitude. I am finding myself during conversation just completely breaking off in mid sentence because I loose interest in anything I may be discussing with someone.
I am atheist, and first taught myself about the seemingly futile, and then non-existence of god. I am in college but can’t stop switching fields of study and then eventually drop out of the semester. I have tried a handful of popular religions in an attempt to direct my life somewhere constructive, but have always realized I was trying to trick myself in the end.
With this neutralization of motivation though has come some comforting lifestyle changes. I have quit smoking cigarettes and for whatever reason didn’t die a drug/alcohol addict (Something that was likely for a few years). This may be why I am not too panicked about my situation, I used to be a lot worse off. It is my feeling that at least I am not hurting the people around me any longer, therefore I have at least corrected the wrong I once committed. Maybe this is a complex?
I really don’t know what else to write.

Your brain is not just occupied by brain cells. Those electric currents between nerve cells occur in patterns that can be reliably replicated, just like DNA. The organisms that use this as the storage medium for their inheritance from one generation to the next are what we call ideas. Ideas have a complex, multi-stage life cycle. They can lie dormant or hibernate inside your memory, even when they are not ‘on your mind’ at the moment. They use your ability to speak and communicate to transmit the information into another person’s mind. That is their dispersal mechanism, like plant seeds using the wind to carry their seeds to new environments. Ideas cooperate and reinforce each other. This helps them to survive.
Ideas don’t always cooperate. Sometimes, they encounter competition from different ideas for the same niche in a person’s mind. Then, you get cognitive dissonance, when there isn’t room for two ideas to both hold the position of being ‘true’ inside the person’s mind. Whichever ideas hold the high ground inside a person’s mind as being true stand a better chance for reproductive success. A person who believes certain things to be true will be more likely to try to convince others of this belief, thereby introducing the idea to the new habitat in the other people’s minds if they are successfully convinced. Ideas will defend themselves if they encounter one that is trying to push them out of the niche they occupy. This will lead to a person arguing in favor of the ideas they believe are true. Ideas take advantage of human social behavior to spread themselves about. Some ideas have made tremendously successful use of mass media like the radio, television, and the internet to spread themselves to many people at once, instead of just one or a few at a time. Some ideas live in symbiosis with the humans they inhabit, containing information that the human mind can use and translate into action that will benefit that person.

This is the external HD that I just bought:
http://amzn.com/B004EL9WIC
The setup and file transfers have been great. Very happy with it. Except for the following. The thing is constantly clicking in an almost patterned cycle. Not necessarily when I’m writing to it, but when it’s supposed to be idle. I have a scheduled backup (Time Machine) set to occur only 1x per day, so it’s not like the system is constantly writing to it often. I’m not even using it for any file storage yet, so I’m not even really accessing it.
Here’s the sound: http://f.cl.ly/items/2w2y2U2S3z2O0K2d0G0Y/HD%20Clicking.mp3
Make sure your volume is up. The muffling noise is just from the movement near the mike, not from the drive itself.
The main reason I got this drive was for it’s reviews as being very quiet. Which it is, when it spins down. And when I’ve actually copied files to it, it is super quiet. It’s the idle, do nothing time that is so loud. I paid a decent amount for this and:
1. Don’t want it to die.
2. Don’t want to listen to the sound of a bizarro metronome whilst at my desk
So, I’m hoping someone will say, “Yes, that’s weird. You should definitely return it.” Or, “No that’s completely normal.” I doubt the latter is the case as I’ve had multiple external HDs in the past and none of them have done this.
Thanks.

I have felt this way for as long as I can remember, however, my emotions are always ‘bottled up’ and kept away in the darkness, often times, for many years.
For example, it was only until I was 8 years old that I had revealed that I was severely depressed, and had attempted to commit suicide on one occasion. Hence, I was then put on a strong anti-depressant at 10 years old, which I, at 17, still use to this day. I hate my name, it is not my real name, and I hate it when my parents dub me as their ‘daughter’ or ‘girl’. I feel like hitting them. It was puberty where my feelings intensified, I grew two disgusting tumours on my chest, and began to develop fat-rolls called ‘womanly curves’ and began to have my menstural cycle, I hate babies and all things affiliated, and I do not intend on ever having them, so their is no purpose for my body to be in this form. I am heavily susceptable to the blood-condition aneamia, so this does not help.
I hate pink, I feel alienated, my parents try to force me into these stupid girly things such as dancing or make-up. My parents won’t let me purchase a handgun that I had wanted since I was 9 years old, and it takes a huge amount of convincing just to wear unisex clothing, however, I feel more ‘me’, with men’s clothing. All women’s clothing makes me want to throw up. It’s all ‘no, you can’t do that! You’re a girl! Stop being so stupid!’ with my parents. I cannot think emotionally, only rationally and logically, my brain-waves are slightly different from the norm as said by a doctor who did an EEG on me. I also have Asperger Syndrome, and I don’t fit in.
I have short teenage-boy hair and I wear blue, white or green plaid shirts and baggy trousers. I only fit in with males, but I am judged constantly due to having a female’s body that does not match my gender. I’ve became more and more suicidal, I’m 5’3 and 6 stone as the more weight I loose, my worthless ‘menstural’ cycle will cease, and I will loose my chest tumours. I cannot stand looking in the mirror at my body, because it just isn’t me. I’m not screamish, I like blood, and if it weren’t for the risk of fatal blood-loss I’d of cut off my breasts by now and modified the rest, including my trachea.
I’m starting High school for the first time in September, and I should be feeling happy. But I am not. I don’t want to even be seen in public, and it has always been this way. I spoke to my doctor and parents for the first time about this issue, and my doctor diagnosed me with Gender Disphoria. My mom just argued with me and screamed at me, making me feel worse, no matter how much I told her this is affecting my schoolwork, daily life, and motivation. I’m just in my room 24/7, playing World of Warcraft, C&C and shooting games and programming script-based applications, I have literally no motivation in me to even wake up anymore, or live, for that matter. I’ve had dreams where I wake up, and I’m me, a boy, not a girl. My voice is different, I have no breasts, my name is different, and I go on to live a confident and happy life, going out to play soccer with my mates and acheiving in school because I wasn’t distracted by constant depression. I wake up crying every single time I get that dream.
I spoke to my psychologist about this (most of it in private, up until the last moments of discussion.) And he told us about this reassignment clinic, which also had opportunities for surgery. Something lit up inside of me, and I thought that finally, I would be happy and have the chance to live a happy life and not a life of misery. But my parents reject it everytime I bring it up. It’s about 5 hours from where I live, and it’s just a corner away. But they still reject it and arguments have been started because of it, only making me feel worse. I feel as if it is my fault that I was born. I wasn’t born right, this is not my body, even my face does not match my body, and just the sight of me you would be able to tell that there is something wrong. I am not a ‘Tomboy’ I hate everything female-related, and I am gay, I’m a teenage boy that likes other boys. Female genitalia disgusts me to no end, including the smell. Just everything.
I hate having no muscle mass due to my genetic deformity (having a girl’s body) and I’ve had several breakdowns because of it. I feel that I can’t go on for any longer. What’s the point in living if you’re going to be miserable all of your life? Please help me and no insulting answers. I would appreciate it so much. I just want to be happy and that is so much to ask for. Thanks.
