Actually, not really. I don't like being a teen. It seems like a balance between not caring so much that things overwhelm you, and at the same time not becoming so completely numb you realize that you're probably wasting your time and want take a bullet to yourself.
Also, you have to try to stay normal and not let people know that you're some imbalanced freak, and also keep you're rational. It's hard on the lymph nodes.
For the past few years I've dealt with emotional problems by just sort of ignoring them, or sweeping them under the rug. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but it turned out to be stupid. I used to really care, and was fairly emotional. Now I feel emotionally numb. I just don't care about hardly anything, and if I do, it's only 'cause I know I ought too. I realized that even if could have anything I wanted, it wouldn't change anything; I wouldn't have any sense of well-being or accomplishment. At best I'll feel slightly depressed about life in general.
So in order to cope with that, I ignore it, too, and am trying to live my life in a way that it at least seems funny. It's a crappy, but hopefully temporary solution. People think I'm a bit odd, but that's ok. This should level out eventually I hope.
I'm usually reluctant to speak of such things, so now I'm posting in on an Internet forum where people will inevitably deride me for it.
mood = null
For you older folks, what time does the crappyness stop? 18? 20?
