And please, do not besmirch the positive message and success of Dave Tate by making a not-so-veiled association to your situation. Dave is a FOCUSED, drive business man. He has his eye on the fence, but he’s too busy building an addition to his dog house to be worried about everyone walking on the sidewalk making noise…until you cross the fence to fuck with his doghouse.

I find the video to make a lot of sense. I admire Dave Tate. He is the man in my book. I was posting it because its a valid outlook on peoples values and living with your own moral compass, rather than by what others would have you do. Honestly, I think Dave Tate talks more truth than anyone else on this site.
To the poster who said that I think my anger has a pull on the overall situation, or something to that effect…No I am not that delusional, sorry to disappoint you.
I also took care of the problem last night. I did what someone else here suggested. I found the guy who was responsible for talking the majority of the shit and who made a threat via text message last night, and I told him that he was a pussy for not saying it to my face. He just stood there silently looking at the floor. I told him that talking shit is for pussies, like him, and that if he ever had a problem and wanted to go toe to settle it for good, then he knows how to find me, but until that day Im gonna look at him like the bitch he is. Not much else was said, and he eventually just walked away. It felt good.
Im gonna cut all this shit out. I feel like, as you said, it takes a lot out of me to keep up the high strung bullshit all the time. I still feel like I need an outlet, lifting is wonderful, but doesnt completely get it out of my system. I guess it is something that Im gonna have to figure out.
You hit the nail on the head when you said that this was a vent. I did it so that I had an outlet for my anger, so I could explain my situation and get it out before I made a poor decision. I also enjoy getting opinions on the situation, as I find that in my anger I overlook a lot of opinions.
You are correct, the scariest dog is the one that doesnt bark. I actually really enjoyed the analogy. Metaphors are some of my favorite ways to learn and explain things.
The wierd thing is that I really am pretty selective of friends already, it seems this one kinds slipped through the cracks because of certain circumstances (not knowing anyone at college). I learned a lot of good shit in this one. For instance, friends of friends are not your friends, and generally shit about who is actually a friend, and who is essentially a parasite for lack of a better word.
You live, you learn. Such is life. Im just pissed at myself, as I stated earlier, for letting it get to this point without realizing it.
