Fred, I think you have sufficient mental capacity to realize that you're not among *real* friends here. That's an Internet forum, everybody who's posting is just a distant on-line presence with no face (unless pictures are posted too but that doesn't change much) and from that perspective differs little from a random guy across the world who you don't know. At best, people have some private view of who you might be in life based on the very insufficient information they can get from your posts and you can't expect anywhere near the same level of empathy or understanding that you would get from someone who knows you in person. That's how human psychology works, yours including - the more distant something is (in space, time, whatever), the less you care about it - and that's nobody's fault. So, you could be the most honest creature in the universe but that means pretty much nothing in an environment where you're physically absent and have always been for everybody else - imagine an author who has lived 200 years ago and writes in his memoirs that he has done this or that and that he's such and such person, so he could be telling the holy truth or could be lying about everything. Same thing here. People don't know you. On top of that, this forum has already had its share of very bad taste attention wh**ing so you can expect even the most gullible members to be cautious. Being cryptic doesn't help either, although I don't see much point in sharing this stuff in Internet in the first place. If you think the others here can do something to make you feel better somehow, ask for it and I suppose at least some will give it a try. If you don't - then just don't bother. Not much else that can be done around here.

Sometimes it helps sharing ones true feelings and because nobody (I assume) here knows Fred in real life, he can actually be completely honest, because we are just lines of text to him.
It might be better if he shared his feelings, with his closest family or friends, but if he does'nt feel comfortable with that, HC is also an option.
I said what I said mostly for Freds sake, I don't know him personally, but I wish the best for him still.

She's doing good. She fought through cancer from baby to preteen. She's a tough cookie.
What made you think of her?

Damn Galatea leaves for about a month and a half and when she returns she's plotting to get rid of fred even sooner. This must be part of her grand-master plan to take over HC.

I've always been a vain snow, selfish and extremely arrogant (always tried to deny it and been living the last 10 years trying to pretend I'm otherwise). When I had my brush with death all of it came back, people's sympathy or ampathy didnt even touch me I couldn't give a rat's snow, I had nothing left in my life worth living for when reality set in, and nothing worth fighting for or struggling for, so who cares if I give up, better to go out with the least effort than suffer by struggling against certain loss. What's the point really?
In the end what kept me in is that a certain someone would be left alone without me, in the end this person saved my life, but the emotional side I'll never forget call it luck a miracle it was all this baby what gets you in the mood to live and fight to live. There is always a way, and it is ****ing hard to see unless you set your heart (truly truly) on winning. And you can't do it alone you need to find an anchor, could be a person or a thing that keeps you firmly tied to this otherwise pointless life. I suppose even if you do lose the battle, it does matter, but... I doubt a man who is truly serious can lose, just a matter of how badly he wants to win.
What's your anchor Fred?

@ galatea: Your answer is on this page, a few posts up.
@ tsar: my anchors are the people who care, that i would keep safe from danger. Now, what specifically made you think of my niece, instead of someone else? Your pointed curiousity has to be coming from somewhere, and that you seemingly pulled her out of a hat has me wondering if you're a threat. Comments like "she's all i think about", are dangerous; trolling or no.

Not the thread for stupid reaction images. Not the thread for jokes. Not the thread for spam. Not the thread for snowing with people.
I understand it's a difficult concept to grasp for those with minimal cognitive facilities. But, DO try.

Page 8 already.
I thought fred would use this time to enjoy outside, specially because around here there's not much else to do or to be said. Close people is what makes us tick the best on every situation, and most of us here are nothing more than a bunch of letters gathered here and there, with a stamped abstract image. Moreover, many of those are playing masked or a simulated role of personality for this forum. Not the most healthy place to be when it comes to something so intimate and important.

Just because someone was a snow about such stuff, doesn't mean that this is no longer a forum for such stuff. There has always been talks about how things used to be better, which is just old people (myself included) reminiscing about the past. But when people on HC won't feel good about sharing what's on their hearts with other members, that's the time I'll really know this place has gone down.
@fred
I hope that the fact you got more time makes a you at least a little bit happier and not prolonging your suffering or some such.

I'm with fred on this, and I believe him. Just intuition, nothing to lose either. At its worst, I could be taken a fool, but I can live with that than being a prick. That's just from a pragmatic point of view, but I genuinely think he's going through something traumatic. We'll find out in less than a year anyway, won't we? One day he might not be here anymore and we'll just remember things he did and talk about him. So if it comes to that, why not cherish the time left instead of bickering for no good end?
