New Attitude

[slobberknocker]

I don't think there's ever a reason not to be nice to people. Just because you're big, doesn't give you the right to be rude. In fact, once you get big you have almost an obligation to go out of your way to be a good person. Consider yourself a spokesman for weight training, and don't let people get the wrong impression of the sport, because it gives the rest of us a bad name. Please.

I'm not saying I have a right to be mean cause I'm big. I'm saying people don't have a right to treat me like shit when I'm nice 99% of the time. From now on, if people decide to be a prick to me, they'll get what they deserve. I'll never start it though, I'm not that type of person.

its a long story, but its basically because we are too good of friends and dont wanna compromise it. i really hope we date sometime though, shes the only person ive ever felt love for.

I started dating my long time close friend who is a girl, and we've been together for 3 years and haven't been happier. You should pursue it.


I like your new approach to some extent, but like c-ditty said worry about yourself first. Don't get such a chip on your shoulder you don't treat anyone with respect.

 

[Lee]

I wouldn't get a chip on my shoulder like that, I'm too nice naturally for that too happen. I'm just sick of being people's whipping boy.

thx for all the advice everyone. this board helps me so much.

Yup. And you thought training was only about the gym.

[Lee]

Hehe, used to think that, now I know it's just as much about time spent outside the gym as time spent in.

Today I realized some very important thing while I was in school. I realized that me being so nice, treating everyone with tons of respect, and being an all around jolly guy, has gotten me absolutely fucking nowhere.

I hope that you change your mind. Kindness spreads kindness. A smile causes a smile.

I really doubt that it has gotten you nowhere...you are a better person for being nice, treating others with respect, and being a jolly guy. Never forget that...and never stop being honest to the person that you are inside.

I believe that if everyone took the attitude on life that you have had...we would live in a much better world.

lee, i was in almost the exact same situation when i was your age, and recently as well. i mean the mindset you have right now, the shit with the close lady friend, the whole deal.
let me tell you that you WILL get over this girl if it doesn't work out. trust me. especially if you're going to live that far apart. it will make things easier. also i know what you're talking about with being the nice guy, people treating you like shit...etc.that works for some people, but not for others. i think c-ditty gave you some good advice. always look out for number one; yourself.
and about the girl; it sucks, but sometimes you just have to grit your teeth and move on.
