Or, it's more like I'll ask them what's wrong and try to help and all I get is this "well you can't help me" kind of answer. So what the hell?

I applaud you for trying to help, even though they may not. So, you do your best to not instigate with them...or, I should actually say, do what they do to your happy outbursts. I guess all I can say to you is that you don't ever return the favor to them; that is, try to bring them up to your level, I suppose. They won't get happy with your help, obviously, and they perhaps they won't stop flooding your threads with their own problems. That's just something they'll need to learn, or deal with. In the meantime I guess you've just gotta keep ignoring what they say. Unfair as hell? Of course.

The thread didn't come off as boasting at all. A few people were actually able to see it for what it was, which I was thankful for. And shit, if people can't deal with a thread about someone having something that they don't, well then, they might as well just shut themselves away for life seeing as to how that's LIFE in the first place! You can never have what someone else has, and there's always someone out there that's bigger and better than you tenfold. I don't sit there and cry about it.

Ah, yes, but it's hard to bear when you don't have any manifestation of love (or you don't think you do). Thus, complaining rises. I do my share of it, to be quite honest, but I try not to. Know that no matter what they say, they do have to deal with it, and by complaining they are dealing with life in their own way. And, apparently, it did come of as boasting to some. Not to you, but to some it did.
That was a pretty bullshit rebuttal, if I do say so myself, but give me a break. It's 3 AM.

It reminds me of the "show yourself" thread where Courtney was posting pics of her and her boyfriend. Jealous assfucks ran all over the pics and it was just ridiculous. I swear, people can't just be happy for someone. Or at least not say anything at all if they're gonna cry about it.

Ah, yes, that. It's really hard to be happy for someone when you're barely happy yourself. And I'm trying, as hard as I can, to not say anything in that instance. But it's also quite hard to keep your feelings back if you're usually an open person. Also, if you're thinking of the "walking stereotype" comment, I don't really see that as rooted in jealousy. But that's me, and I'm not really solving anything by rationalizing myself in odd directions and circles.
So I'm going to stop now.
