Mind-numbing...

You may have realized from reading my words or watching my videos lately that my life in general has just been less than exciting. But for a moment, I would like to take the blame of this off of me and put it on another fact - the amount of intelligent and mentally stimulating conversations that I have had as of late is incredibly minimal. Nearly all of the conversations I now have relate to relationships, life advice, and just overall very superficial things.

Now I would like to start this thought by defending the generalizations I will be making, but do realize that 90-95% of the people I normally associate with are females, so my generalizations here are only due to that fact and that fact alone.

So many conversations as of late are about superficial and material things that have no larger impact outside of oneself. Discussions of relationships, life problems, hobbies, appearances, and daily activities is amusing every once in a while, but the constant worry about what others think of you and your appearance and past gets to be so strenuous and mind-numbing. Hobbies and daily activities tend to link people together due to their commonalities, so these are obviously decent things to discuss. Unfortunately, when you combine these with discussions of "hooking up", "going out to bars/parties", and other non-important things, discussions go downhill quickly.

I am not asking for all conversations to be intelligent and productive all the time, because just as anyone else would want, it is nice to have mind-numbing conversations involving gossip, work happenings, and relationships from time to time (because we all might loose our minds otherwise). But with the lack of discussion about how to better our personal futures, our society's future, and our planet's future, nobody is ever growing or developing. Once in a while it would just be nice to hear some analysis rather than superficial nonsense from people.

Related to this subject, I've always found it funny how people use me as a life coach and relationship coach. I am neither of these things. I am not yet successful in life, and my accomplishments are minuscule to date. Sure, I am a happy and semi-productive individual now, but I wasn't always that way. Also, when people come to me for relationship advice, I cannot help but laugh. I have only been in one serious relationship, and that obviously failed miserably after about 3 years. Overall, my friends and I would say I've only been in 2.5 relationships (lol). But honestly, why would you bother to ask me for information in a field that I am terrible in. I can't make first impressions, I can't sustain a healthy relationship, and I can't make people happy. Sorry! Just don't ask me because I don't know. And if you do ask me, don't blame me when your relationship crumbles underneath your feet.

I guess that is all for now. Sorry you have to weed through all of this ranting text just for two relatively minor points. I guess I'm just one of those people who would rather rip the band-aid off quickly than deal with the pain over a long time. So the band-aid comes off now, and let your wounds be healed.
