I'm going to Rant on all of My Problems...Any Advice? Desperatley need it.

[Uponastar]

Respectfully, I would say that, in response to the things you have either asked or stated here, that the old saying "with age comes wisdom" exists for a very good reason.

While you may honestly believe that you don't need any help or advise from others, or that you can handle anything on your own and have in fact done so successfully, please just give consideration to the idea that there is no way that you can know what you do not know.

Growing older makes a difference. Things are seen in a completely different way. Until you have lived another 20 years you cannot speculate on how it will truly feel to be 40, and how you will see and understand things differently.

Can a young person get by on their own? Absolutely. Would they benefit from the advise or encouragement of someone who has simply lived longer? Indeed. It is actually a very mature and wise decision to ask for, and receive input from others. There may very well be ways of looking at the world that you simply wouldn't have thought of on your own had you not asked. Asking and listening only allow for a broader data base of learned ideas to pull from throughout the rest of your life. That's how it works. It is not a sign of weakness, but rather of maturity and humility to realize you do not have all the answers... at any age.

So well put.

Cramming WORKS.
No matter what they say...

 

[JimboJones123]

Cramming WORKS.
No matter what they say...

Really, I thought trying to make sure you knew the material right before applying it would never work. Stupid researchers or specialists or whoever "they" are. I know something else they can "Cram". Fresh on your mind -- fresh on paper. I don't remember much from my Central Asian Philosophy class -- but I ACED all the tests... and I don't feel the affects of staying up til 3 and getting up at 4:30 for the 8am tests. Oh wait. I went to bed last night at 4:30 before waking up at 7 for work... :hammer:

Really? I always thought that being very dependent upon others was a sign of weakness.

That is a gross mis-statement of what I said. I never said "Seek help and become dependant on that help." I said to seek help and talk to someone.

Self-reliance is in no way a negative quality. Indeed, if you can go through a "crisis" in your life and pull through on your own strength and will, and not that of others, are you not that much stronger by it? Does it not demonstrate more strength to accomplish things on your own?

I never said it didn't. In this case the OP was seeking some type of help because they posted here. From the description of what was going on the OP was feeling overwhlemed and making bad decisions (i.e. lying). When you get to that point it is not weak to seek out some advice from people that have more/different experience than yourself. That can make you stronger too.
