Good night dear brothers, and what a lovely night it is down here...

Now I'm finally on vacation and able to write more... so I'm going to present you with two heartfelt, sincere posts... this first one is about One-itis... there are thousands of posts around here about it, but this one is my own experience + my bud's experience... and what I've learned from it...

I'll call my bud Bud :D

Bud is a regular guy. Dresses normally, has nice looks, very funny and very intelligent. He's very calm and focused, trains Karate for 10 years... Talks slowly and lowly, and very politely.The kind of guy that everyone likes and respects. Seriously, in the 2,5 years that I know him, I've never met anyone who doesn't like him and have never seen someone disrespect him... I still don't know how he does it... he's the Great Guy, that guy you would trust your younger sister... (well, I guess I exaggerated ;))

Now, BBB, is your dear friendly moderator, that likes spiky hair, colored t-shirts with nothing written on, cool shorts.
Very wit and ****y, with his characteristic Loud voice and laughter, loves to wake people up in the morning and make girls laugh just for fun... Has a lot of haters around school...

Well, let me tell how Bud's life is...

He wakes up, at 5:30 a.m., feeling bad, tired, for the badly sleeped hours of sleep he had... wakes up, goes to the bathroom... looks at the mirror and looks crappy... he knows he's not a man, he's a walking piece of ****...he has no confidence, no happiness... his lips don't know how to smile anymore...

He drinks a bitter cup of coffee, get his things and go take the bus... In his long 1 hour ride, he remembers all the conversations he's had with his one-itis... he remembers how good it feels sitting beside her and talking to her, even if she does not hug him, or even when he listen to her talk about her boyfriend for 30 minutes... that's ok, it's better than nothing...

Then he arrives, go out of the bus and greets his friend BBB, his bud who likes the best friend of his one-itis...

BBB has been acting strangely lately... but, let's go on...

He walks sadly and slowly till his classroom... in the way he remembers the times he walked these same paths with her... and start to feel anxious... because in minutes he will see her again...

Then he gets to his class, leaves his stuff and goes out in hopes of finding her. It's 7:15... He only sees her in the morning on Monday and Tuesdays, because the 3 other days she doesn't have classes at school...

He goes to classes after seeing her, beautiful as always, and spend the three classes thinking about her... how pretty she is... in the old days, he'd draw his japanese like pictures, very very classy, mangá quality, but nowadays he just draw some loose lines ... like a 5 years old boy.

When the break is near he always leave 5 minutes earlier, in hopes of spending more time with her... He sees her sitting in a bench, and goes there, join her and her friend... BBB usually joins them, but lately he's been spending more time with freshman and sophomore girls... strange, he wasn't like that... something wrong with him...

Well, he stands her and BBB's one-itis making fun of him and his likings for 20 minutes... no buying signals, no signs of interest...
Then he gets even worse, discouraged and goes back to class... to the same routine... thinking about her... dreaming for the 35535th time the moment she'll come to him and say: " I broke up with my bf..."

But this day never comes... he leaves for lunch, and goes with them to eat... normally, BBB would go with them, but he's eating with his buds and laughing his a$$ off...

After one hour of more bashing and listening to them talk about their ****ing diets, he goes back to school... to have more classes... he always makes his projects in a hurry so that he can leave early and try to see them around... whenever he can, he ditches classes to spend talking with her, and her f*cking friend is always around... normally BBB would keep her busy but he's in class or playing soccer...

Then, when it's time to leave, he sees them both at the exit of school and spends more 2 minutes with them, and them watch them go to their house. (They live there and go back to our city on the weekends.)

Then he gets on the bus, sits with a close female friend and spills out all his feelings... and she tries to comfort him...
He gets home, listen to some hard rock ballads, all songs about missed loves, and gets very sad... his parents are starting to get worried, but he tells them that it is stress from school...

And then he goes to sleep again, sleeps bad, has dreams with her frequently...

And this f*cking routine goes until the weekends, where the suffering is bigger, because he does not see her... and she's never online... only her friend, BBB's one-itis is on... and they talk about her for hours, but she's never willing to help him...

Speaking of BBB...

BBB used to feel just like Bud, or sometimes even worse... He'd have some "waves", sometimes he'd be very into her, sometimes he'd be cool, but still talking to her, content with his fate of just being friends....

But, lately, from 2 months to now, he's been acting differently...

In the mornig, he wakes full of joy, because he's alive, breathing and a new day is rising... he puts on some nice clothes, get his hair looking cool and go say good day to his mom, then his dad takes him to the bus stop...
He listens to some dance songs, like Planet Funk's - Chase the Sun (;) ) and talks with his dad... He wishes him a good day and go to the bus stop... greets everyone, already start to laugh with the 2 friends who get the bus with him... when it arrives, he says good morning to the bus drives, who he ocasionally talks to, and then goes take a sit... in his way he says good morning to his dear freshman female friends... and sits... sometimes with a bud that gets the bus with him, sometimes he saves for his female friend... that he always make laugh a lot...

He gets to school very pumped up, because of the nice convos and sometimes because of the massages (he gets from the female friend, that didn't tell him before because she didn't feel comfortable giving a massage to a not very close friend)

He waits for Bud's bus to arrive, not because of Bud, but because a friend of his, a female friend of his, and her friend, that he's starting to mack...

He walks up to the classes with them, then goes to his floor... There he says good morning to all his buds... and then go get his books in his locker... that happens to be just in front of the class of his one-itis... he doesn't say hello for her anymore...

When Bud's one-itis says hello to him, he says hello... and then goes away... he sits through classes... sometimes he leaves with his buds to a supermarket near school, to eat some cheesebread
and drink cocoa...

He gets back to school... during the break he goes talk to some of his freshman female friends... or stays chatting with his buds, or even plays soccer...

He watches more 2 classes and then go to lunch... sometimes with his buddies, sometimes with the freshmen ladies...

He gets back, and spend some time with his sophomore friends...
He spends a lot more time with them than he used to...

Then in the afternoon he stays in the computers lab doing his projects... and goes out to breath some fresh air and drink sugar cane sometimes... sometimes he ditches classes to play soccer with some random dudes... he knows pratically all the freshman and sophomore guys from soccer... or yet, They know him...

Well, when it's time to leave, he goes to the exit and talks to a sophomore f. friend who's going to give him a hand with a friend of hers...

Then he goes to his bus, greets the bus driver, sits with the friends he said hello in the morning or with a bud, and come laughing his ass off...

He gets home, walk to his house singing, then when he gets there looks at the kids playing and smile, and the says good evening to his dad and his sister... this when he does not have spanish classes, where he makes his teacher and his female friend laugh a lot too, and learns some spanish too :D

He takes a shower listening to some dance songs, and then log to sosuave.com to see how the forum is flowing and then goes to sleep happy... with the nice days he's been having...

When the weekends come he plays soccer with his old buds, or go to the movies with a childhood friend or goes to parties/clubs with his school buds... BBB likes to dance a lot now...

But BBB once was like Bud, suffered like Bud, felt shi*ty like Bud...
He hit the bottom... and, as Tyler Durden says:

" Only after disaster can we be ressurected
It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything..."

So, from now on, I'll stop the bragging and get to the point.

Do you want to hit the bottom?
Do you want to feel like Bud?

Or do you want to feel like me???

Do you want to feel terrible, to cry for a girl??
Or do you want to have a good time??

I hit the bottom... I felt terrible... I almost cried...
But I saw the light... I saw the truth... I saw that, YOU CAN ONLY BE HAPPY AND SUCCESSFULL WITH WOMEN IF YOU SPEND YOUR TIME WORKING AND TRYING ON A WIDE VARIETY OF GIRLS.

For more nice, great, sweet and wonderful that a girl is, she's just a girl... She farts just as bad or even worse that you... and NO, SHE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN MAKE YOU HAPPY.

I could list reasons and reasons for you not to like a girl a lot... but that's useless and has been done a lot before...

I just want you to look at Bud's life, and see if that's what you want... You see, I'm not the greatest seducer ever, I don't get a lot of women... but I don't want to... I wanted to be happy, and now I'm getting close to it... I pass my time with girls who like me, like to have fun with me, and care to say hello... True friends, true happiness... I don't expect much from them... to be honest, I don't expect anything from them... and that's all right you know, because as time passes, I get more and more surprised, and these are good surprises... not disappointments...

Don't expect nothing to happen on your week, expect it to be routine and boring... and you'll be surprised... very surprised...

It also takes the pressure out of you... you let things flow, and you're so cool and easy that the ladies hunt you.

Invest your time on variety... build your social net... get know different kinds of girls... no special girl has more value than you... even if you have a girlfriend, keep talking to your female friends and meeting new people...

I hope you got the message... Chase the Sun, run like the wind towards happiness... and happiness never lies only in one person... whichever person you choose is too human to bear one man's happiness... happiness is increased when it is shared...

Thanks for listening, forgive me for my bragging, I wanted this to be sincere...

Good Night

BBB

It's not boring at all.

If you look at the aspects of it, it makes sense. Try reading it again.

Great post! But there's one thing I don't understand: In the beginning of the thread Bud is a happy fellow, but in the rest of the story he's a miserable guy. I'm sorry if I don't get it, or maybe I'm missing something, but could someone explain? :confused:

Storytelling is an excellent way to get your point across, and BBB did it wonderfully. Kinda strange though, that "Chase the Sun" was playing on the radio when I was reading your post.

I think you did miss something...He goes over how Bud act and looks then goes over how he (BBB) acts and looks. Might have mixed something up...it happens.

Just to clear it up, in the beginning, I describe the way Bud used to be when I met him... and until some months ago... Bud is a very captivating fellow... He's the kind of guy I've always tried to be, respected and admired by everyone, including me.

For more popular that I have been/become, I've never been honestly respected and admired like him... I've always had my haters...

He's that kind of guy who deserves the best karma ever you know... yet he does not realize his own value ... and he thinks that he'll only be happy when this girl start to like him...

So as each day passes, he feels worse and worse and "worser"

That's what I want everyone to see... how bad can a man degrade himself because of a woman...

Fake internet philosophers quote "The Matrix" and "Fight Club".

Take the time and look at where they got their ideas, you may find yourself interested in REAL philosophy.

I found the post boring...

I'm not really a philosopher... don't want to make philosophy too...
I'd rather spend 1 hour in the world living with people than 1 hour reading a book from centuries ago...

Pardon my ignorance...

I'm just a guy living, trying to make ends meet, who shares his realizations with his brothers... indeed, this is boring.

But it'll have other meaning when you, or your best friend is on Bud's shoes...

Do I want to hit the bottom? Do I want to cry until my tear ducts bleed from excessive use? Do I want to feel so hollow and empty, that my insides exist only on a mental level?

Do I want to be happy and not acknowledge strength through tolerance?

Paint the picture yourself.

...and sorry if I offended you BBB with what I said (in reference to philosophy) :)
