Dr D: on attention seekers and drama queens

Sometimes I humour people. Other times, i’m even sympathetic. After all, we’re all allowed some ‘down’ time occasionally. But.. some people redefine the meaning of pathetic, and i’m currently not in my sympathy mood.

Yup, you guessed right.. it’s time to put on my Dr. Phil hat.

Disclaimer: I don’t have a PhD. Well, maybe I do, but I think my abbreviations differ from yours.

“Oh, i can’t find a boyfriend..”
Dr D: Aww, that’s what everyone says. But unless he’s the UPS guy delivering your latest shipment of dildos ‘n porn, he’s not going to be knocking on your door any time soon. Get out there, socialise, get to know people!

“But nobody messages me, and i’m on ALL the profiles sites”
Dr D: Probably because you convey the same message on all the sites. “I’m desperate, I want you because I NEED you, because without you, i’m lonely.” Nice pickup line, seriously, it’ll attract a whole lot of NOTHING. Tip: If you act desperate, people know. And they run. Oh and while i’m at it, NO, a cock pic does not help (Unless you’re hung like a horse, perhaps, but then you probably can’t get it up, eh?).

“But i’m a nice person if they get to know me”
Dr D: Ok, nobody (apart from a social psych student looking for a subject) is going to bother getting through knowing the ‘desperate freak’ side of you, to see if there’s a ‘normal nice’ you somewhere inside. After all, you wouldn’t bother with someone else like that, would you?

“I’m shy”
Dr D: *sigh* Get over it. I’m shy too, but what’s the worst that can happen – a few people might ignore you? Better than staying at home and being ignored by everyone! I’m not saying you need to be the bell of the ball, but surely you can hold some pleasant chatter (stay away from the nerdy subjects – and don’t start talking about your ex) with some people at a club. Or if you still can’t muster up the courage, get half pissed and dance the night away.

“I’m fat and unwanted”
Dr D: Well if you feel that strongly about it, goto the gym. I joined recently, and I feel better for it already. And I gather all my willpower not to drive-thru KFC on the way home, too. It’s not just the exercise, stop eating all that junk food too. Also if you hate yourself, so will everyone else. So just find something about yourself you like, and be happy about it. Too much emphasis is put on superficialities, but in this day and age you do need to have something going for you.

“I have no time to gym”
Dr D: You have no time to gym, but you sure as hell have a lot of time to think up excuses. First thing: Spending hours on MSN and chat sites is not time spent wisely. Get off your arse, and get to the gym. If you’re as inept at socialising as you say, nobody will miss you anyway.

“It was a mistake to break up with my bf”
Dr D: Why, because you’re now single? Did you miss the drama sessions, or the break-up make-up sex? Now you just sound pathetic.

“But I love him so much”
Dr D: We all say that – I’ve said that too – until you find that new someone, and realise they’re so much better for you than your ex ever was. I guess the mind just likes to think back to happy times, ironically making you feel worse in the process. So stop reminiscing – you’re wasting more time.

“But I like going to church”
Dr D: What the hell? You really picked the wrong person to mention that to. Incase you didn’t already know, I hate the church and all their bullshit. That old bunch of kiddy-fiddlers denounce gays every chance they get. So what’s the church group tell you.. if you’re gay you’ll burn in hell, and you can’t hang around with their bible group anymore? Like that’s a loss, seriously. More time freed up, bargain.
