So he is this seemingly nice older Jewish gentleman with a little black cap on top of his head. Yesterday he wore an orange sweater because it was Halloween. He kicked me out of class one time because he caught me "texting" when all I was doing was looking at my mail on my phone. He also has this stupid attendance policy where if you're late 10 times or miss 5 classes you automatically fail the class. And said right off the bat on the first day that there is no curve because "this is collage". Also on our research papers he accused me of plagiarism so at this point I think he just genuinely hates me and finds enjoyment from watching me fail.
I am a guy and I feel insecure around girls. When I was younger I would feel like I had to impress every girl I saw. Now whenever I'm around a girl I just try not to look like an idiot. But usually I will do something really stupid or clumsy like drop my pen or almost fall because I'm nervous of what she is thinking about me. It's harder for me also because I'm a short guy at 5'7" and I feel like I have to act "cool" and "macho" when I feel a girl is looking at me (and I pretend not to see her) to prove I'm not a dweeb or a loser.
I am very shy and there is this woman who I really like. She is gorgeous. She is 5 feet 10 inches, skinny, but with a big posterior, and very pleasant. I see her everyday but her friends are very outgoing and type A personalities. Her friends intimidate me more than she does because I know that deep inside she is a sweet caring gentle generous person. If it were just the two of us trapped in an elevator for a couple hours I could open up to her and express myself and my feelings for her, but it's the social expectations that prevent me from doing so. It's the thought of what people will say when they see a shy loner like me talking to a cute and well liked lady like her. The fact that almost nobody knows me or acknowledges my existence but everyone knows her and tries to talk to her all the time is what I mean by the social aspect. This makes it too awkward for me to ever get to know her on a personal level unless I find her all alone somewhere for a few minutes (or even better if we're trapped in an elevator together).
Recently I've been hanging out with this cool guy, he's very confident and smart and whenever I'm around him I feel like his awesomeness rubs off on me (no pun intended). His name is Chris, he is Korean. But he is tall for Asian, 6 foot 1 inches. And he has a slim body with nice fashion sense. I'm kinda jealous of his hair. He looks like an Asian Ashton Kutcher, he is funny, smart, and cute. On the other hand I am a 5'7" guy so I feel like his little brother even though we are the same age. I really like hanging out with him. He's also pretty dangerous. I was inside his car once and he has a breathalyzer right next to the steering wheel. Apparently it's there so he can tell if it's safe for him to drive or not after a night of drinking.
One time Chris invited me for lunch. But I had to say no. I have social anxiety with eating in front of strangers and I like skipping lunch most of the time. A couple of reasons for this: I'm overweight so going hungry for a while makes me feel like I'm thinner. Not eating makes my stomach feel empty so I feel more active. If I don't eat for a while I am starving when I do finally eat and it tastes so much better. He made a weird face so we just went for coffee instead and talked about life and his plans.
Chris is actually friends with this girl I mentioned before. But I was too nervous to ask him to set us up. We have a good friendship and I don't want him to think I'm using him. He had just come back from getting some kimchi from his car and he offered me some aswell. I don't know why I did it maybe it was an instinctive reaction but I touched one of his ears accidentally to see how cold it was outside. I didn't even realize I was practically on top of him at that point because he offered me a piece of gum aswell.
You see. I don't intentionally avoid brushing my teeth but sometimes in the mornings especially when I wake up late I just don't have time to brush and I eat breakfast without brushing and head out the front door. Sure it's not very healthy for your teeth to skip brushing, and if I don't brush in the morning my teeth feel really dirty by night so I definitely brush before bed. That being said, sometimes if I'm tired or just feeling lazy I will skip brushing at night if I brushed in the morning. I just never tell people about my habit because people are socially conditioned to think if someone doesn't brush twice a day they must be a weirdo.
So now I have to worry about not failing this class, about getting Chris back on my side and letting him know we are just friends, and letting this girl know I exist.

Challenge him in a game of Starcraft. In traditional Korean culture, when a formal challenge of Starcraft is accepted, it is customary for the loser to be penetrated by the winner of the match, as a symbolic gesture of victory and submission.
If you win, you get to fuck Chris in the ass.
If you lose, Chris will fuck you in the ass.
How can you possibly lose?

Yep, one time I mentioned Starcraft in his presence and he was all like, "OMG WAT U KNO STARCRAFT"
and I'm all like, "yeah"
and he's like "OMG DO YOU KNOW ABOUT KOREAN PROS"
and I'm like *sigh* (we have so much in common)

Yes, I totally agree. Someone wearing an orange sweater on halloween must be totally nuts and competely nonsensical. I mean, what's wrong if you want to e-mail with Chris? And this attendancy policy... It's college, your supposed to have fun and experiment RIGHT? It's not like your supposed to go to work and have a boss that fires you if you come late or miss work. That's a concern for the future! Not now... I'm sure this professor does his work for the sole purpose of getting entertainment for failing people.

It's OK to feel insecure around girls. It's a good thing you now found Chris, now you can play the female-counterpart of a manlove relationship. No need to build up social skills, being cool/macho and being short is totally cute, I think. Also, if a cute girl now looks at you, it's ok if you don't look at her because of your lack of confidence. Now they probably think you are cute aswell, instead of a weirdo.

Oh man, you should really try to follow her, and when she's alone sneak up on her and tell her that your totally into blood A personalities, I'm sure she'd be delighted to hear that. If for some reason that doesn't work and u need a way to close in on her. Just tell her it's ok, your having relationship with Chris, it's safe!
[So now I have to worry about not failing this class, about getting Chris back on my side and letting him know we are just friends, and letting this girl know I exist.
I'm glad I don't have your troubles... Oh and btw, it's OK to not brush your teeth. I'm sure many ppl in Africa or so do the same. I don't have time ATM to quote the rest of your problems. Feel free to ask tips.

Well maybe in Asian countries but here I feel like a midget. My eye level is at 5'2". When I am in sneakers I am 5'8". When average height girls (like 5 foot 3) wear sneakers they are almost same height as me. And when I am around short girls (like 5 feet tall) if they wear heels I am not much taller than them. And forget about taller girls who are 5 foot 5, 5 foot 6 or more, I am practically the same height as them and many times if she is 5'6" + in heels I am definitely clearly shorter. So in terms of height I do not stand out against women. I see all these 6 foot guys around me and it's like every girl comes up to their shoulder or their neck or their chin.

None of this reflects badly on the teacher. Why is having an attendance policy stupid?

wtf ...
Of course sometimes you forget/skip but brushing teeth twice a day is basic hygiene that helps prevent decay and your breath from smelling like shit. If that's social conditioning so is wiping your ass when you take a dump.
I hope for the girl's sake she's never trapped in a confined space for the hours necessary to have your feelings unloaded upon her.

Both Messi and the lead guitarist of MUSE have 2 things in common. 1 they both get beautiful girls, 2 they are the exact same height. Height doesn't matter so long as you own who you are and are successful as your own man. Work on yourself until you get there.

Imo having a lecture attendance policy in College is unbelievably retarded. RETARDED. You are supposed to be an adult at 18, so why don't US colleges at least expect their students to be capable of being responsible for their own learning?
While at uni I knew people who didn't attend a single lecture (ever) and still graduated with 1sts and 2.1s. The people who found it useful went, the people who didn't went to the library, we all had the same tests anyway. That's being responsible.
Coming to the US to grad school and being given a teaching assignment was a chock. The students here are treated like high school students (if that). Points given out for attending discussion sections? As if I care if they show up or not?
"OH we don't trust our ability to design a course compelling enough that people will actually want to seek out the material so we better force them". Or alternatively "Our students are so stupid that if we don't tell them exactly what how and when to read what things they wont learn anything."
Like FUCK American kids aren't innately any less mature than British ones. As long as you are clear with what you expect from them they will be capable of living up to it. /Rant Didn't even know I was this upset about this lol.
Anyway.... No reason to let the lecturer bother you OP. Learn the material, ace the final. Don't be late to things. (It's fine to be against rules out of principle, but obeying while subject to them comes with certain perks, like a good gpa)
As for the excruciating social awkwardness of the rest of the blog... Just keep interacting with people. (Make new friends if you alienate people along the way) Sooner or later the rules of social interaction will become clear to you and you can look back on this and laugh.
Spoiler alert: you will not end up with the girl in this blog. But that's ok. You'll find someone else.

- Your professor is actually reasonable. College isn't a picnic; turn off your phone and learn to get to the classes on time.
- Getting someone to set you up with a girl is a terrible idea, especially if it's your friend. Be manly and speak to her yourself.
- Feeling insecure about homosexuality is actually a sign of 100% heterosexual male, so just ignore those stupid thoughts.
- What if I told you that, ultimately, brushing your teeth often and getting girls to go out with you are somehow connected?

Chris sounds good enough that I'm sure no one will be thinking of TL blogs during such a night, should it come to pass.
Also you guys are mean :p

It's odd that you have such social anxiety but here in your blogs you can type out the most cringe-worthy embarrassing things to an audience of ~hundreds. You realize that the population of TL is not so different from the general population? Try to analyze things you do out in the wild from the perspective of "if I was on TL, I would..." and so on.

Are you related to Epishade by any chance?

People here are mean. He's either young or a troll, no need to treat him so badly.

I miss the plot twist in the end that Chris is the douche bag teacher who is the girl you love.
If this is not the case, this is a very misleading blog. But still a funky read.

Well he is in college but still complains about getting caught using his phone in class and having an attendance policy.
How is your eye level at 5'2'' if you're 5'8''? Do you hunch way over or have a spinal disorder or something?
Take responsibility for the things you do in life and fake some confidence and let the girl know you're interested in her company. Build a little rapport and ask if she wants to hang out. If she does then great, if not no big deal either.
And brush your teeth at least twice a day.
|
That must be quite the useless class when the professor has to force people to come to it.
And brush your freaking teeth 2-3 times, otherwise you probably stink from your mouth and no girl will ever want to speak with you. And since you are allready overweight, you just reinforce peoples conception of you as a lazy bum.

is anyone else confused? I am confused. what happened with the kimchi and chris? I thought this was a girl blog.
Also, the first thing I would suggest is taking care of yourself and getting into shape! It will help with your confidence since being short and overweight is a big no no for girls.

You need to socialize more and observe how other people behave because your actions / thoughts from this blog are really bizarre. Examples:
On November 02 2013 14:13 NeuroticPsychosis wrote:Her friends intimidate me more than she does because I know that deep inside she is a sweet caring gentle generous person.
You don't know her and have never even met her - but you know who she is deep down. That makes no sense.

She doesn't know you, so if you and her became stuck in an elevator and you took that time to pour out your heart to her and express your extreme superficial emotions - that would likely creep her out.

This is odd - are you sure you're not bisexual? You're describing your friend in a rather sexual way that somewhat indicates you're attracted to them.

So you just instinctively wanted to touch your male friends face to judge the temperature outside and then before you know it, you're practically on top of him. This is strange. Are you bi? Seriously.

Brush your teeth in the morning if anything, it's not about the health of your teeth as much as it is not being unpleasant. Your fantasy is being alone in an inescapable enclosed space with a woman you don't know (but you think you do), who is a friend of your cute, attractive friend so you can pour out your heart to her - but you're not worried about your breath.
I really don't know how to advise people who are socially awkward, it seems like you must have missed out on a phase of your life where you realize what's appropriate and what's inappropriate - so I am not sure how you get that back. The best thing would be to socialize more, observe other people, and act like they do. I can tell you that you have some bizarre thoughts and habits that you should probably work on before attempting to ask out women.

The first and most important thing you have to do if you want to be noticed is to take care of yourself.
That means, going to the gym and eating right (3 meals a day with veggies), shower + brushing teeth at least once a day, and wearing clothes that fit you.
I'm gonna take a wild guess that you probably don't do any of the above
edit: i really don't see why you consider yourself overweight. BMI says that you are "technicaly" overweight but a pound or two would make it consider you "normal weight". Really, no difference

Just to let you guys know something about this girl's personality and update on the situation:
Her name is Kaitlyn. She is Caucasian blonde but she might be half Asian because her eyes are different looking. But she could also be Russian I don't know. Like I said she is 3 inches taller than me and has a huge behind. But she is skinny, so she looks like a model.
She used to work as a waitress at a country club.
She has this flirty personality most of the time. Like she will be nice and friendly to everyone. For example when she was running for student government she would offer everyone candy. She talks to everyone and is open and honest. She does not seem to possess any of the almost debilitating social inhibitions that I have, And she will constantly play with her hair even in class (for example take off the bun so her hair goes down, then put her hair back up in a ponytail, etc.). I'm not sure if anyone else notices these details about her but I seem to always look at her.
Now about Chris
Last Thursday in class I came in 5 minutes late and sat right in front of him. Now I don't know if he did it on purpose but he "accidentally" dropped his pen so it came next to my chair. 10 minutes later he accidentally dropped his empty cup of coffee right next to my chair. Keep in mind he was sitting behind me so maybe he was just stretching his manly arms and not caring about anything in his way. But he seems to be playing mind games with me now.

Sure I'm not morbidly obese or even more than slightly overweight but I do have this conspicuous belly that seems so odd on my body. The rest of me is skinny I just have this strangely inflated belly.

About the college stuff: You want to be treated like an adult? Then behave like one. It is extremely disrespectful towards your professor to regularly be late and the same goes for using your phone. You signed up for those classes, so you must be interested in them, otherwise it does not make sense. If you don't like lectures, don't sign up for them. If the prof gives you a syllabus in the first week where is says that there is an attendance policy and you don't like it, then just drop the class. There is actually a great amount of work and effort necessary to host a class, so show a little respect towards your prof.

another way of looking at it is the rest of you is so skinny that it makes your belly look fat...The only way you are going to make your belly even "flatter" is by working your core. No one is born with a 6 pac

5"7 is short?? thats like what 170cm? isnt that average??? Well maybe in Asian countries but here I feel like a midget. My eye level is at 5'2". When I am in sneakers I am 5'8". When average height girls (like 5 foot 3) wear sneakers they are almost same height as me. And when I am around short girls (like 5 feet tall) if they wear heels I am not much taller than them. And forget about taller girls who are 5 foot 5, 5 foot 6 or more, I am practically the same height as them and many times if she is 5'6" + in heels I am definitely clearly shorter. So in terms of height I do not stand out against women. I see all these 6 foot guys around me and it's like every girl comes up to their shoulder or their neck or their chin.
Dude, I'm like 5'4". 5'7 is definitely below average but certainly not fucking short. If there's anyone who should be depressed it should be me. But anyway, I kinda feel your pain man.

1: Curve grading is retarded and shouldn't be used at any level of education
2: Brush your teeth, seriously.

Well, there are arguments for curve grading as well though.
In the workforce, you are often judge based on the performance of others. Whether or not you get promoted is often based if you are the best candidate among all the other employees being considered. Likewise for being laid off and cut.
This is also the case for interviews. You aren't interviewing to reach a certain skill, but to be better than enough of the other applicants to get a job.
In that regard, curve grading might not necessarily be the best for a purely educational and learning to learn perspective, but it does simulate the real world in certain ways pretty well.

Thats because in a job interview your goal is to find the best candidate for a certain position. So yes, you are comparing candidates among themselfs. A class isnt trying to find the best students, its trying to ascertain whether all students learned enough to pass the test. Its comparing students with a certain level of knowledge, and that level of knowledge doesnt change if you have a group of good students or bad students. If a class has a lot of good students, they all deserve good grades. If a class has a lot of bad students, they all deserve bad grades.
Grading on a curve can be a cop out if you do bad tests. If you cant mantain a stable level of difficulty on your tests or if they are not well correlated to the knowledge that certain class should require for each grade, using a curve is probally better. Grading on a curve works on exams with diferent levels of difficulty but assumes all classes have the same kind of student. Regular grading requires the teacher to perform fair tests, which quite often isnt the case.

What are your weight and height stats? What do you consider fat? 5'7" 160 pounds. I am 5'8" in sneakers since even the smallest sneakers can give an inch in height. I really do not have any fat anywhere on my body (skinny arms and legs for example) but I have a little fat on my belly like something you would expect on a 50 year old man. The first and most important thing you have to do if you want to be noticed is to take care of yourself. That means, going to the gym and eating right (3 meals a day with veggies), shower + brushing teeth at least once a day, and wearing clothes that fit you. I'm gonna take a wild guess that you probably don't do any of the above edit: i really don't see why you consider yourself overweight. BMI says that you are "technicaly" overweight but a pound or two would make it consider you "normal weight". Really, no difference Sure I'm not morbidly obese or even more than slightly overweight but I do have this conspicuous belly that seems so odd on my body. The rest of me is skinny I just have this strangely inflated belly.

Sometimes a class is trying to find the best students. Occasionally the students will care about actually learning, but most times it's just about the grades. Learning the material is often just a positive side effect of getting a good grade.

I like how the guy is clearly either trolling or completely spun out mentally and the advice is like "you should work out." standard Internet. Like its probably true but it's as relevant as saying to him "you should check the oil in your car every 3000 miles."

Your professor isn't a douchebag. If you're consistently late without a good reason, then your laziness deserves to be punished. And if you have the audacity to sit in class and ignore your professor and surroundings by being on your phone (regardless of what you were checking on your phone), then you deserve to be called out on it. Just wait out the hour for class to end, and then check your messages.
I'd be just as frustrated with you if I was your professor, and if he doesn't want to curve the grades, he doesn't have to.
Also, either Chris gets your girl, or Chris ends up pitching and you end up catching. So you might as well try for a threesome. Touching his ears is weird as fuck though.
Also, there are zero good reasons for not brushing your teeth, especially if you care one bit about being a presentable human being.

i had a professor that stopped what he was doing anytime someone came in late.
Then he pulled the poor student in front of the other 300 people and questioned her/him about when they woke up, what trasnportation they used, how it comes they are late, how they could improve it.
It was hilarious, noone managed to sneak in unseen.
Oh and curve notes are stupid, most my classes had like 20% best grade, then equal distribution and then 50-80% failed.
Curved would punish most people with the best grade as half of them would get downgraded and would reward the laziesby upping the grades significantly.

i think you should blow your professor to save your grade. doing that will give you enough confidence to finally ask out chris
