romantic self obsession at xmas after pints

LegacyUser

Howrya. I was in a beer garden there a few nights ago. All alone after a few pints, having a cigarette as Last Christmas by Wham muffled its way through the walls. I had this feeling of extreme lonliness and was waiting for the most amazing girl to walk out and talk to me and we would fall in love. I was praying and hoping and almost expecting. It was almost religious. Nothing happened.

Does anyone relate to this f***ed up overly romantic Irish mentality that our life is a film that God has written and were all constantly waiting for the climax which never actually happens?

Happy f***in' christmas

Generally speaking, no girl is going to approach a man who is sitting on his own at the end of the night, looking like he might burst into tears to a schmaltzy hit of yesteryear...

But to answer your question, I don't think that the overly romantic mentality is unique to Ireland. So many people want those warm and fuzzy feelings - and Christmas can be pretty hard without them. It sounds like you're pretty passive (wanting the mythical girl to appear, wanting God to finish your life story). If you're a bit more pro-active in this regard, perhaps you'd be happier?

I do get the 'life as a film' mentality sometimes, but generally I'm waiting for ninjas to burst in through the windows rather than some girl to chat me up.

Funny stuff. That's a very amusing take on it.

I reckon it's perfectly normal and healthy to want your life to match your ideals and dreams. As long as this sort of thinking doesn't stop you dead in your tracks in the middle of a busy road you'll be fine.

Remember those books when you were a kid (assuming you're not too young and have substituted playstations for books) that allowed you make decisions as you went through them? Role play books - I had a whole host of "Robin of Sherlock" (Daaa-Dum, The hooded man). They were good fun but once you'd gone through them a few times you twigged that there are really only 3 or 4 endings possible. Real life is much better with so many possibilities, choices and endings....

Better than just waiting for the movie script to run it's course (which won't happen), think of your life as a really big role play book that doesn't have an ending written for it yet....So go for it - Daydream believer. Nothing wrong with ye.

It was a bit like that moment in Malcom In The Middle when he said "you want to see a strike?!!- Theres your strike!" and he throws the blowling ball at the pins from a yard away - and misses.

Well not really.

I realise Im self obsessed but it only happens at christmas when Im drunk and lonely.

Other times Ive walked up to a Church demanding that God reveal himself to me. Ususlly nothing happens. Sometimes the cops show up. Never ninjas though.

stop acting like a child and go as a girl out if u want one so badly...plus christmas miracles only happen when kids are involved so get that into ur head before u start believing that ****ing Angelina Jolie or something is goin to come over to u and start hitting on u just cos u wish for it.

if u are so into fantasy worlds an unrealistic ideas about women, go home, download some porn and **** until u have no feeling left in ur arms

If I need to poop I don't wait for the toilet to come to me.
