Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

See less

Someone please tell me what the hell is the point of anything?

    Originally posted by Arvestaked I am the wrong person to ask about that since I am always depressed, bored and lonely.

    But if I had to respond I would say...

    Move somewhere other than where you are. If you live with your parents, leave. If you have been if the same apartment for a while, go some where else.

    Make plans to see the music you enjoy in a live setting. I do not know whether you like jazz but I like to go to jazz clubs when I can afford it. Make plans to visit a museum. Again, I do not know if you live in L.A. or not but there are some great ones here.

    Make plans to visit a museum. Again, I do not know if you live in L.A. or not but the Getty is a nice, relaxing place and it is free (except for parking).

    Try and think of something you want to do and do it. Right now I am relying on painting to escape troubles. It does not always work but it is something.
    And what if you do all that and you're still in the same place?

    I like going to the Getty and walking around in the garden, people seme to smile a lot there. I work near the Huntington Library, somewhere I would live if I could, it's SO awesome. The arts... the literature.... the gradens!! I go to the beach and do the cliche listening to the waves thing. I used to go there and write (which for me was like what paining is for you, to escape my troubles I write them down then rip them up and throw them away, somehow slightly effectively getting them off my mind). I found a new jazz club in Malibu that has some incredible live music to offer and I always tag along when friends say they are going to listen to some new band somewhere. I do these things. It's great. But the things is, I'm still missing something. Some kind of intellectual stimulation that I can't offer myself. All these other things I can do for myself.... and have done and continue to do. But I still feel empty. Maybe I spent too long empathyzing with others, I forgot to find something to fill my own emty space. Excpet at this point I think it's not SOMETHING I need to fill the space with, it's someONE.

    right. so anyway............

      Regarding empathy: My friend's father says, "Care about others but not so much that you stop caring about yourself."

      Well, I can say that I feel the same way. I do feel the what is probably lacking in my life that is keeping me from being happy is that "someone." You may have answered your own question. Of course it can not be just anyone. Ffinding someone to fill that whole inside you is part of the pain of being human. All of that is technically rooted in my original response where I talked about the point of life is to make more life.

        How unfortunate that the one thing that might fill up the hole is something we can't really actively do anything about... indeed.

          Yes I know. It feels terrible.
          Though many would argue that you can actively do something about it.
          I lack the self-confidence to do such a thing.
          Just recently I may have let someone slip through my fingers because of not sucking it up and not seizing the moment.

            If they argued that you CAN do something about it, what would they say exactly you can do?

            I understand seizing the moment, I'd do that for sure, life's too short to worry about rejection or whatever. Suck it up and move on. but that's only when the moment presents itself. You see in the whole work school sleep work school scheme of things, I don't know that the moment is going to be presenting itself. You see?

              Yes. I understand.
              I suppose the arguement would apply only to people like me.
              There's nobody at work or at school? Well, if there was I guess you would not be having this problem.

                This is the question that everyone asks!!!
                Ck, u have to take life just the way it is, because life itself is always to do something. You need to do things that always keep
                you excited, right now if u dont enjoy life that means u dont do things that u love. Or (most likely) u need a nice boyfriend.
                If you find him or he finds you, and u fall in love and he falls inlove with you, u'll c that " LA VITA BELLA" and ull love life more than ever..................................

                  Ahh, but what about all those people who say you have to be happy with yourself BEFORE you can be happy with someone else? Perhaps I had the wrong bf for too long and it's made me a little cautious about jumping into a relationship. Is it not supposed to be that I'm young and thus and so should be having the time of my life? hmmm. You see the problem is I hate co-dependence. I hate it when I see girls out there who NEED to be with someone in order to be happy. I am 'happy' regardless of this empty feeling (at least I still find things to smile about and make me cheery I mean), because I do things to make myself happy. However, I do feel the need to question the empty feeling. It's true EVERYONE does this questioning life thing at some point. Anyway, perhaps it IS just the need for a new guy in my life. It's always fun to have those exciting little beginnings with someone, when you find yourselves so engrossed in eachother you momentarily lose track of the rest of the world. The only problem with THAT is that some people forget to come back to the real world, they remain engrossed in eachother. I fear that might happen if I rush into a relationship right now, because I will be using it to compensate for the empty feeling inside. Make any sense?

                  Anywho, as for your question arvestaked, there are plenty of great smart people I work with that I can have lovely conversations with but they are either too old, married, or female. As for the people I attend school with, they are too young for me....

                      Are your school mates too young for you because you feel they are immature though they are you age or did you go into school late?

                      I know I have a problem seeing my peers as equals and always tend to gravitate toward older people. Unfortunatley, women tend not to date younger men.
