And I agree with every word as a single (and always will be) guy!
I have other friends who bitch behind each others back for being "boring" or "whipped". Nonsense. People change over time. Their attitudes, what they enjoy, commitments, what they find important. If you cant support each other through that change, then you are a really dire friend

I'm sure this has been covered before but people who video moments on their phone that they should just enjoy live. Last night went to a concert and when they did their most famous song you couldn't see the stage for people holding up phones. Why not just enjoy the moment rather than losing it only so you can watch a hazy recording once (maybe never).

Made an easy fight look easy. That's just a keeping warm fight for Fury and a few quid for ESPN. What they really needed was to let Tyson loose in Vegas to win people over by being the best version of himself. 
Mission accomplished. Perfect 10/10 for Tyson and he can't do much more than that. 
They sent AJ to do the same thing tbf. So fair play to Tyson for not messing up what another brilliant fighter messed up vs Ruiz. 
Next fight needs to be a name. Then take the belt off that absolute twit

His clowning around has probably disarmed Tom Schwarz. That's what it's designed to do anyway because I don't believe for 1 second Tyson would take his eye off the ball. 
The guy is all over the place until it comes to boxing and then he's always got unrivalled mind games. 

Just reading this post again, because I find it so powerful. I do think that the bit I highlighted in bold is actually a good thing if it isnt completely unrealistic. I think the minute you stop having goals, ambitions, doing things you hate but are good for you, criticisms of yourself, (healthy ones, not "Im not tall and dont have a 6 pack), life does lose its meaning.
 
 

Exactly this. I talk soooo much poo on here. Far too much! 
Looking deeper into it, it's probably because i struggle to be me and voice my opinions in real life.
 

100 percent. Im a big advocate for self improvement, getting out your comfort zone, not feeling sorry for yourself, but social medial is just fake bs. You see dave in his ferrari but dont see the struggles he went through to get there. You see becky with her engagement ring on but dont see the arguments she has daily with her partner. It only shows one side of the coin.
 
As for @rynny, all I can say is sorry to hear and best of luck

It's another one I'm clueless about mate. I'm sure you'll get experienced advice on how to cope on here
All I can say is hang in there. Roll with the shots and one day you'll treasure his life more than mourn his death I guess. We all think of how we'll be remembered and none of us want our passing to be the story. Hopefully you will soon get to a point where you can celebrate his life. 
Don't know how you get there. Time heals?  All the best, mostyn

This thread should be for anybody who needs to empty their brains. It doesn't matter imo what makes sense or anything like that. If its hurting then let it all fall out in here and maybe  someone can help pick up the pieces.
What would be terrible is anyone reading this thread thinking "well compared to that my problems don't seem so bad" and keeping it to themselves. 
Anyone who's on their arse should post in here. It doesn't matter if you have a "valid" reason or if it fits in. Sometimes people fall on their arse and getting back up is that bit that matters. Doesn't matter who had the biggest fall. 
I can't offer you much, bro. Other than my best wishes. I know feck all about people passing away. I know that life likes to punch you sometimes and you don't always see a way to ride the shots. But if you do keep rolling on then eventually it gets lost and punches someone else. That's one thing that applies to anyone in this thread with whatever issues. You just keep hanging in there and you'll pick up a win. Easier said than done but experiences teaches us it's true. 

I have to say, I loved @BurtonRam7 matchday plan too.
No bravado, no BS, just a lad looking forward to possibly the best day of his life, and sharing it with family and friends.
Even if it goes tits up, I get the feeling it's a day he'll remember forever regardless of result, because he's shared it with the people who matter, and made the time to make it that way.

Ha! I'll take that!! 
What I love about this forum is that it's not really had any bravado. There isn't people presenting the best version of themselves because its anonymous. The mods and David do such an excellent job that you can't shoot people down and bully them out the door
So what we end up with is bit by bit, year by year, thanks to shitty football, people reveal themselves. Like the real them. 
Once people start putting themselves out there and seeing it's not rejected they show a bit more and you end up with beautiful threads like this one. 
I think I might be one of the many posters that spills nonsense from their brain onto these pages and I think others might see that as relatable even if they don't agree with me. 
I get that feel from numerous posters. I love reading their absolute rubbish. Your post about your play off match day plans was one of them. No bravado... just you typing words as they come in your head. I can tell as I read it. It was more interesting than looking at Big Dave's amazing night out pictures of balls
You don't get that on Facebook. Posts are planned mostly. Thought through for how others will read them. Like I am sure new posters do on here
In time, on here, people talk poo. Protected by anonymity. And it becomes such a comfortable place. 
I think people just relate to anyone who leaves a post unedited exactly as it left their brain. I do it all the time so that probably helps me get on with most people. Or I feel like I get on with most people. If I don't then that would be pretty gutting knowing short of seeing my face this is me! 
Hope we win on Monday, mate. For many reasons but it's a wicked day you have lined up and I hope you can sink dark fruits with your nearest and dearest with a daft grin on your face!

Think I've decided that you're the best poster on here mate. Every single post, whether it's funny or serious, is immensely readable.

I don't even do Twitter or Facebook but I can see how they must kick people in the nuts. 
I mean it's a bit like having relationship issues and every song on the radio seems relevant. Your brain seems to pick out things on social media and start reminding you that you don't have this or that. You're not that handsome, thin, tall, pretty. They're a better parent, they earn more money, they have a better career, a nicer car, more friends. 
It's like holding a mirror up to your life when you're not in the right place mentally. Looking how much of a feck up you've made. When you view it then it's a mirror.
Yet when you post on it then suddenly it's a sales pitch. I'm super good looking, drive this car, look at my beautiful kids, look at me in the sun, look at my living room. Obviously not everyone is out there to boast. But we like to present the best "me" to the world. And it gets competitive between a lot of insecure people which leads to more insecure people. 
Facebook isn't really reality. Reality TV isn't reality. But anything that offers security or insecurity sells. A lot of people are looking for comfort or are in competition. 
I think as soon as you accept that your poo stinks and your best is good enough that you can live happily ever after. But even being aware of what social media is like doesn't help. Even not using it at all isn't protection. Our brains are all warped with mental images of the people we should be. Even if it's not jealousy of Dave and his new Range Rover it might be that your brain is showing you a better version of yourself. 
But when you are on your arse and still looking at the perfect world of everyone else... that is a kick in the nuts. If you think it might not be helpful, log out

Being honest to yourself is key, as long as you do that, you can be halfway there
Im a pharmacist, but apart from proffessionally, couldnt care less what people think of me. Im like the polar opposite to you?

Deleted twitter and dont go on facebook, but for productivity, as Im lucky enough not to have any mental health problems.
 
Problem with facebook ect is that you only see snippets of peoples lives (e.g photos of people getting engaged, or going on holiday), and it can sometimes make you feel envious and dare I say jealous. Or on twitter, before you know it you have random peoples opinions on random irrelevant things (e.g love island) thrown in front of your face, and if you are one of those people who feels like they need to have their 2 pence worth in anything, it does waste a LOT of your time

Quick update: Everything is sorted now. There was a bit of a miscommunication and it's all good. On to Wembley!

Thanks a lot mate, I really appreciate you checking up. I’m better today as I now know that I’ve got the support of those directly involved. I’ve also just had a really enjoyable meal with my auntie and uncle.
Being wrongly accused of something really rankles and I’m worried about what other people might think, but I certainly have a clear conscience as I know that I’ve done nothing wrong.
Thanks again.

I’ve been on a massive high all day thanks to last night’s result but I’m a little down now. I just heard something said about me that categorically isn’t true, but it’s not exactly something that can be easily disproved. It also brings back ideas that my larger circle of friends get the wrong impression about me and misunderstand me quite a bit. That’s probably because of what I project on the surface, but it’s difficult knowing that I’m probably a better person than people think. I don’t really show my emotions or sensitive side so it’s easy to see why people get the wrong impression.
I want to emphasise that I’m extremely lucky to have never had any mental health issues. This is just one of those little life things that I’ll have forgotten about in the morning (I’m sober though, don’t worry). Just thought I’d get it off my chest on here.

Ill never have kids but I can only imagine. Its not even something you can fix/change which must be frustrating. Seeing my dad cry when my grandad passed away wasnt easy too. Stay strong

Please dont stop being a nob, we've all got used to it now.

Ah! Depression classic. Get you to isolate yourself so it can really stick the boot in. It's your enemy mate. Not people. You're under attack. 
I guess the obvious answers are get a hobby, go for walks. Keep busy and distracted. 
Often though you can't be arsed? That's what's always fecked me up. I don't want to take up knitting and go for walks treading in dog poo. I just want to be left alone. 
Do you like yourself?
