why is it that humans have that small voice in the back of the head saying either, "what the hell are you doing\done" that small voice just awaiting for a time to come into play. what is one meant to do when it starts talking; ignore it, listen to it or drown it out. why is it that some people don't seem to have this voice but some do? the voice of reasoning, the voice that stops you from doing something fun, that stops you asking that girl\boy out. this one small voice that is silenced when drinking alcohol but loud when doing something that may be regrettable sober. this is the voice that determines which path one will take in life. just think of one thing you regret not doing and then play though what life would be like if the voice was silent and you continued the chosen activity.

Life is full of regrets. why must we suffer and not know what could've been. just one of the smallest things like wearing different shoes can alter ones life entirely. which begs the question is ones life set or forever changing with the millions of decisions made every day.

In your case it isn't the voice of reason but the voice of madness -NO, NOT the ska group from Britland-.

i now fear that im losing my grip on reality.... i drift off when i listen to music then after i am snapped back from my own little world i am hit with the harsh reality that is my life. long time friends betray me, know i am after someone and still go for them. its times like this that i retreat back to my world. there is no pain, there is no betrayal, there is only what i want. it is something i visit more and more often. its becoming an obsesstion. that feeling of utter content. i find my self going there just for the sake of it. does this make me insane? or is it a completely normal reaction of wanting to escape my life and start over. if so, why dont i? Why do i stay in this world full of disappointment, anger, hate, love that will never work out. is there such a place i could go without these things. yes? no?...there is one place, in that ever growing corner of my brain that is my own world. full of cheer, music, love. no hate, anger and disappointment. that little world of my is mine to shape and mold into the perfect world. its something that can never be taken away.

Seriously though, you're how old? 20? Life will get better.
It's only when you concentrate on the shit things that life sucks.

Here. Take this simple survey to see if your life really does suck:

1. Can you walk? [yes] [no]

2. Are you in a country that is relatively stable? ie. no bombs in your backyard, civil rights, whatever? [yes] [no]

3. Can you see, taste, hear, speak, touch? (or at least a combination of two of these) [yes] [no]

4. Do you have food to eat? [yes] [no]

5. Easy access to resources including education, medicine and employment? [yes] [no]

If you answered [yes] to even one of these questions, you are better off than a HUGE amount of people in the world.

Friends will come and go. Girls will also come and go.
As long as you look at what is good in your life, you are set.

Did i mention that you have a computer and running water?
Oh. And you play music?
That's a talent. Not many people have talents.

Cool

It sounds as though cyb3r is referring to our conscience, that nagging feeling we all get sometimes. (If there are any literal voices in the head going on here, seek a psychiatrist or exorcist or both. Amazed

)

Slightly off-topic: It's interesting that even if a person denies all objective morality (ie. they believe people decide for themselves what is moral and there are no absolute rules) that person will still create moral standards for themself. Not only that, but we will then proceed to break our own moral standards. Then we feel guilty for breaking those standards that we just made up for ourselves! But why would we feel guilty if there are no moral absolutes? Guilt, shame, honor, bravery, altruism, tolerance, fairness, etc lose all meaning if there are no moral absolutes ... so why would a person who believes morals are not absolute feel guilty? Maybe there are at least some absolute moral principles after all ...

Anyways, cyb3r without details it's hard for anyone to give advice to your particular situation. It sounds as though you are starting to grapple with some of the bigger questions in life (the metaphysical questions) and those aren't easy questions to answer. An eastern poet once wrote:
The world is dew.
The world is dew ...
And yet ...
And yet ...

What if instead that soft, nagging, often annoying voice is tapping into something greater? GAMER is of course right in a sense, that we have things much better than most other people in the world, and should try to be grateful for what we do have. And yet ... sometimes we feel compelled to take a step back and ask what, if anything, this all means?

Yep, life can be a real bitch sometimes.

In fact most of the time.
And yes, your personal problems are those who affects you the most, so it's normal that you care most about them, and they influence your life quality.

About your friend hitting on someone you like:
You don't own a person, and maybe that friend also likes that person. You don't have more rights to that person than your friend. Even if you were first.
As said: life sucks. Sometimes. Live with that fact.

no gets me.... god im becoming the typical teenager. maybe booze up might cure my problems. it usually seems to

Of course you're becoming a typical teenager, you ARE one.
Booze up will not help you, the daily sorrows are excellent swimmers, you can't drown them. They even have the nasty habit to grown on abusive drinking.

You can hardly expect that your problems now will be about your kids, career, grandkids, whatever, you ain't there yet.
So your problems are indeed typical teenager problems. Not that this will make them lesser in your eyes.
