      Biggest thing going for me: Trying to set the stage to be a good daddy to my daughter.

      Biggest worry: Failing at being a good daddy to my daughter.

        Upside: cancer free for almost 5 years. I have been able to work in a cancer center and feel like I have done some good for others. I met someone.

        Biggest fear: cancer coming back. One night I had a nightmare. It was a dark figure and it grabbed me by the ankle and whispered, " I'm coming to get you." Scared the shit outta me!

        My therapy: my BMWs

            My family being awesome and my baby being able to come into a home with tons of love and support. An okay job I that pays the bills, and that the engine I got from the yard was pretty on the inside.

            My fears my daughter having a disability of some sort sorry if that is insensitive, but it's really hard to be a parent to one of those children I give them props! Not being able to find a better job and support myself and small family. My first engine build going catastrophically terrible. That's all for now

              Going for me: New life in a new place. Training in a decent job and finally figuring out a new direction to go in life.

              Fears: Forever alone (seriously, zero luck with women, feel like they all hate me) and losing my E30, limbs, or being disabled in any form.

              But I worry about shit way too much.

                have you tried not worrying so much? me any my SO split up because i started to worry about everything and all the time so we took a 3 month break and it helped me reevaluate what needed to be worried about and what you just have to live with and do your best to be a good person. women like to see that (at least think) you have your shit handled.

                my best friend i have know my entire life is like that he is a nice guy but worries about everything and gets stuck in dead end jobs since his i worried he cannot find another, and cant talk to women to save his life because he worries he is gonna say something stupid, which in turn makes him say something even more stupid.

                  The biggest thing going for me is that I'll be done with my AA this spring (not bad for being only 20) Afterwards I'll be moving on to get my BA at Washington State.

                  My biggest fear is that I can't find a job I'll be happy with. Not exactly happy with my job right now (part time at a local grocery store while I'm in college). For the last couple years I've been working on going to Police Academy and entering law enforcement. It will take a lot of work and I know If I bust my ass I can do it. But if in the end it's not where end up, I really don't know what I'll want to do for a career

                      I have an incredible opportunity with a company that does cool shit and pays handsomely for it...

                      However, it's not exactly what I dream of doing so I'm afraid I might miss out on being able to do something that I seriously want to do.

                        for me= friends, family, and I have a job.

                        against me= loosing my job at age 60 in this piss poor economy and having to scrape by for 7 years until retirement.

                          Going for me:

                          I'm married to the love of my life, I own a home that I'm very happy with in a location I really like, I have enough toys to keep me occupied, I'm happy at my job and am financially on track to retire at 55.

                          Biggest fear:

                          She wants a kid.

                            Its funny how we all feel this way. Then, you get the news that you done gone and knocked her up. Somehow, 9 months later, you are the happiest person in the world because of that kid you thought you didn't want to have.

                            Ok, back to man talk.

                            Oh, and why do we keep going over a certain members lack of love life? Dude you talk about that so much on here that it has been said over and over again what your problem is. Your luck of confidence bleeds through your fingertips and exposes itself on the internet.

                            You want a girlfriend? Its as easy as walking up to an attractive girl and saying these words. "Hi". Look her in the eyes when you do it, and TALK to her. Even if you stumble over your words she will recognize that it wasn't easy for you to approach her and may find something about you that she likes. But fuck man, if you don't try your going to be the next Steve Carell.

                            Also, if the girl does decide she likes you... DO NOT tell her how bad you suck with women, cause then she will start to question her interest in you, and it will be your fault cause you fucked it all up.

                              my wife would like to have a second set of kids. we are both in our 40's. i am apprehensive for two reasons. first our age is a bit of a factor since we would be in our 60's when the kid graduates high school. the second factor is something a little different. we both seem to greatly differ on our viewpoint of child rearing. as i mentioned in another thread recently, i raised a kid that turned out fantastic. i feel it was because of consistent discipline. she raised two kids that are now 16 and 20. they are for the most part, pretty decent kids with issues. i think the reason why is because she lacks any consistency in relation to them. i told her that she might as well just never say no to them and give them whatever they want. basically, this is what it always boils down to anyway. first they ask her for something and she says no. then they spend the entire day pestering her and shortly she will change her mind and say yes. they know goddamn well its going to turn out that way before they even ask. it pisses me off to no end. some people are just too concerned about their kids liking them as a person even if respect goes right into the shitter. obviously, you need to show your kid a lot of love when they are growing up. its the mistaking love for being liked by your kids i can't get over. they will still love you back if you discipline them properly and consistently. more importantly, they will respect you.

                                Hey man, it's the name of the thread. Just being honest here.

                                I will admit in the last thread I was out of line, but shit had gone south and I was being pissey.

                                But in this thread, people chose to give me a reply.

                                And it's definitely not like I'm not taking this advice. I've been fixing and changing my ways in the last year and making a complete 180. Yes, I have a metric shit ton of issues and I know it. Yes, I have been working hard to fix those issues.

                                Rest assured, when I do talk to women the last thing I do is bring up problems or complain. I smile, and I keep the conversation very much positive.
