Why Do So Many Awesome People Think They Suck
Dear Flist,
KNOCK IT OFF WITH THE GUILT AND UNHAPPINESS, OKAY?
I mean, I know the December is a traditionally suicidal month but seriously.
Unless you have recently killed someone or kicked a puppy, there is no need for all the guilt.
You are all awesome, awesome people, and I am sick of seeing so posts about how you feel guilty for asking for things for Christmas or think you're a horrible person or think your flist is ready to cut you lose et cetera, et cetera.
Please, take a moment to inhale deeply, calm down, and realize the awesomeness that is you.
Now I'm going to get back into my bed and brood over how crappy I feel and the script I need to finish tonight.
Love,
Red.

Seriously though... there's no such thing as an undeserving friend. The only reason I put on my thing that I'm not expecting people to line up and give me presents is because I'm totally cool with them NOT doing that. I like the GIVING aspect more than the receiving.. but I certainly don't mind receiving if it's coming my way. *grins* Presents, whether given or received, are always fun. Especially if they have shiny paper and bows.
And, honestly? I'm just really happy I have the awesome friends that I DO have. What I think everyone needs to remember here is that these Christmas wish lists are just that; they're things you'd like. Whether you get them or not is an entirely different thing. So why, in the name of all that is jolly, would you feel guilty for WISHING? Unless you point blank order your flist to get you this stuff and get to you before freakin' Christmas, you have no reason to feel guilty. You're also missing a really, REALLY big thing here: 'Flist' stands for 'friend list'. If those people really wanted to cut you off, they wouldn't have bothered adding you to the 'flist' anyway. So... knock it off, accept the fact that you've got people who care about you and go indulge in some heavily spiked eggnog.
And by heavily spiked, I mean 3/4 amaretto and 1/4 eggnog. Because drinking straight up eggnog is a little nasty.
Also... The two most depressing holidays in the United States are Christmas and Valentine's Day. Reason being: people don't want to be alone for these holidays. This is utter bollocks to me for three reasons.
1. You're alone every other day of the year. What makes these two any different? The fact that people are with their loved ones and family? Hate to tell you this... but most people are with their loved ones and family pretty much EVERY day of the year, not just Christmas and Valentine's Day. Stop using holidays as an excuse to be fucking emo. If you're really THAT unhappy about it, maybe you should think of ways to fix the problem rather than ruin it for everyone else. Self-awareness starts with yourself, mofo.
2. If you ARE alone for these two days... you should consider yourself the luckiest son of a bitch in the world. Think about it: Every single day of your life is spent in the company of others, most of which probably annoy the hell out of you. At school, at work, at home... wherever you are and whatever you do, you have interactions with other people. Use these holidays as ways to celebrate the fact that you DON'T have to fight with someone for the remote control. You DON'T have to worry about making reservations to that exclusive restaurant just to get laid. You can sit around on your couch, butt-ass naked, and no one is there to comment on how disgusting that is. Christmas and Valentine's Days are the days where you can revel in the absolute and total freedom of your life.
3. If the reason you don't like the holidays is because of the stress of shopping, you have two choices. Either admit that you are so pathetically weak minded that you can't handle something as mundane as shopping, which is absurd seeing as you probably do it at least once a week anyway, even if it's just to get groceries... or just don't do it. Generally speaking, forcing yourself to enter a stressful situation when it can easily be avoided is bad for your health, both physically and mentally. So... just inform everyone you're not doing presents this year because shopping stresses you out. If they're the good sort of people, they'll say, 'Hey, that's cool man. If you get bored later, come on over for the Muppets Christmas special." And if they're the lowsy sort who EXPECTED you to get them a present... you'll be much happier when they tell you to shove off.
And that. dear children, is nimblnymph's take on the holidays. Cheers, and do try to be happy about them. It seems like it's only in the United States where we freak out over celebrations. Everyone else in the world sort of sees them for what they are: a time to get boozed out and make fun of people as they stumble their way through charades.

And if you had-- would you lie? Or be honest? "The fleaball chewed my couch pillows for the last time! Anybody woulda done it."

Or say it was an accident.
I am awesome
In all seriousness, though, if you are ever feeling depressed, talk to someone. There are plenty of people who you can talk to with help lines, school counselors, religious leaders, or just about anyone. Try not to get wrapped up in the tunnel vision. If you look at the big picture and try to shift the focus off of you, you may do yourself a world of good. Not only could you help others, but help yourself. Every person cracks under extreme scrutiny.
