Hello, my name is Sam. There's a lot that I can say about myself, but if you'd like that then you could always message me and we can have a nice cup of tea together :D
I am not very old, so I might not have too much life experience, but I do like to help people. I know that life often throws unexpected blows at people, but I am so extremely optimistic. Hopefully some of my optimism will rub off on the people to whom I am giving advice. I am happy to help with anything! :)

I've known this girl for a few years and I missed my chance out of pure stupidity several times. It wasn't just some stupid hormonal attraction either - it's like she's the first person who treated me like a human being and respected me for who I am. (I like the way the 70s were better than now - not that I was alive then - and people tend to harass me because of my style in everything.)
So she looked past the surface and saw who I really was, which is what made it so impossible to even ask anything. I wasn't used to this treatment.
Anyway, she moved LAST summer and I still can't get her out of my head. Any ideas? (link)

Hey.
I'm sorry about the way people have been treating you. It's not fair to discriminate a person based on their interests and style :/. Just know that although you missed your chance with this girl, she is proof that not all people are judgmental. Yes, there are many people who will judge people simply because they are "different" but there are equally as many people who will respect you for you. The important thing is to be completely confident in who you are. In my experience people tend to pick on people who appear to be weak. Therefore, the stronger your character becomes, the less these people's opinions will matter. Ultimately, we must live our lives in the way that makes us the happiest. The purpose of life is a topic that most people are unsure of, but the only thing that is certain is that life has two routes: happiness or unhappiness. The choice of which path we will take is in our hands alone. No one can tell you how to live your life. With all this said, please never think that the world is full of cold-hearted people. Use this as an opportunity to strengthen you character and be completely in love with who you are. You a precious and unique person and no one can take that away from you. I guarantee that the more your attitude changes for the better, the more people you will encounter just like this girl.
Take care

This would be great advice, if I didn't live in a place filled with war mongering rednecks. Still, I appreciate the fact that you've given me what could have been great advice.
Also, where I live the people are pretty rough. And attitude doesn't make people here respect you, fitting in or beating the hell out of everyone in your path makes them "respect" you. I refuse to change who I am for them, and even though I am trained physically in the martial arts, I am also trained to control myself.
Thank you.
