This is a Favo(u)rite QUOTE thread. These are all “stolen”. And yes, I did quote Real Genius. Nice catch. It was my favorite movie for a while

What about this? Allegedly your favorite post ever on this site:
“No one will ever be able to properly describe the eternal pessimism and finely-honed sense of doom that Giants fans carry around their neck like a millstone, day in and day out. These playoff runs they occasionally go on are nothing more than the last few steps at the top of Sisyphus’ hill. The generally poor Bay Area sports scene the last couple years only enhances the perception amongst Giants fans that each summer is a different Greek tragedy that we are forced to endure in perpetuity.”

It was just a short excerpt from a long dissertation on the psychological effects of prolonged suffering due to a lack of success on the part of one’s favorite sports team. I appreciate you asking how I am though. I’m doing well in general, although lately I’ve become overwhelmed by extreme feelings of social anxiety and an unbending desire to be by myself. I don’t know why this is or how to end these feelings, and this worries me. Several times in the last couple weeks I’ve gone out with friends and been bombarded with this heavy, crippling need to just LEAVE wherever it is that I’m at and go home and lock myself in my room where I can avoid all human contact. I’m serious. I went to a sports bar with some friends to watch football on Sunday morning and after being there for maybe five minutes I got up and left. I didn’t say anything to my friends other than “I’ve gotta get here. Later.” I walked home even though I drove to the bar and I took a rather circuitous route so as to avoid any and all confrontations with other people. The flip side of this coin is that in the rare moments when I am not overcome by panic and paranoia and I manage to remain in a social setting with other humans for more than a few minutes, I have this perverted need to dominate conversations. I can barely contain myself when someone else is speaking and when people stop for a breath before resuming whatever sort of drivel it is that’s babbling out of their mouth I seiz this opportunity to grab the conversation and steer it in whatever direction it is that I want it to go. I routinely speak right over other people as if they aren’t even there and, although I try not to let other people catch on about this, I have a hard time hiding the fact that I absolute loathe any conversation, or any human interaction in general, in which I am not the center of attention. I It’s weird, really. But it makes sense on some sort of preternatural level that I am only now coming to grips with. You see, it seems to me that I’ve subconsciously developed this hatred of mankind, a sort of misanthropic attitude whose roots are planted firmly in my perpetually-inflated sense of self. Basically, I’ve determined that humanity has nothing to offer me whatsoever and that if I am going to engage with humanity it will only be on my terms, meaning that any communication between myself and humans boils down to me speaking and everyone listening, because the reality is that no one has anything to say of any import at all and I refuse to participate in this cheap charade in which we pretend to give a FUCK about what anyone says out of some twisted sense of decency and politeness. The bottom line is that if I have to listen to any human voices they will either be my own voice or the voice of someone showering me with praise and extolling all of my virtues (an embarrassment of riches, I admit). And because of this refusal to listen to anything but this, because to listen to anything else is a waste of time, I repeatedly find myself alone. And this brutal, unflinching reality saddens me. Deeply. Perhaps you could send me naked pictures of your wife and/or daughters?
