Do you need Anybody? I need somebody to love.

[Meikster]

As the title says, I need somebody to love. But with a condition like mine, most girls will probably not want to stand close to me, let along kiss me. I hate having Moebius Syndrome . I try to be nice to other people and friendly but they always never have time for me. I don't know if it's just my age, or having just left school and being in an intermediate stage where I'm looking for exmployment, but I feel like I've hit rock bottom.

I've become a lot more reclusive over the last couple of years because I've been let down by many people, not family. But friends. I'm fed up with feeling lonely and I just need a friend who understands how I feel.

I don't know why people let you down but if ever you want to talk just PM me. Hope things improve for you in the near future. Jess

dude, rise up, overcome your challenge. i have moebious syndrome too and i am one of the most well liked guys at my high school, not a lie.
sure, i've felt depressed, and i am no superman, but in my middle school years, i made an oath to myself, that whatever happened, i would not be put down, i would overcome this disability-and in a way i have.
people are telling me how much of an inspiration i am to them. my key to success: be nice to people, have confidence in yourself, have dreams, be involved, and if you do that-you will go far in life. the mind should never be underestimated.
i am a Junior in high school now, and i am the president of my class (beating the other canidate out.) i have a good job at wal-mart. i hang with alot of people and i go on dates with girls. i'm not bragging, i'm just showing you, that if you believe in yourself, and ignore the putdowns and the bullies, you will in a sense, become invincible.
but keep your head up:) if you want to talk, IM or email me at greer_russ@hotmail.com

I love Nurses. Does anyone know any.

2 things...first....youre the most popular partially cuz they feel sorry 4 u....second...do not love a nnurse, they look only on the outter regions of men.

[mark92]

sean, seriously, not to be rude, you should shut your mouth right now.
:( just because you may not have had a good childhood, doesn't mean i don't. ok, they don't FEEL SORRY. If i sound rude, i don't mean to ok. so they elected me because they felt sorry? hmm. i was voted coolest guy in the grade because they felt sorry? hmm. the reason people like me is because i'm outgoing, i don't let this hinder me. i stand up for myself. im kind to every one. i have talents and i show them to people. seriously, don't put your foot in your mouth dude:( or better yet, keep your thoughts to yourself.

[Meikster]

It's jealousy Mark. Sean, just like you I haven't had it easy either but you don't need to shoot other people down just because they seem to be doing better than you. Not everybody can be popular. Perhaps being a bit nicer to other people and thinking before you open your mouth might be a good idea. I'm not saying that to be insulting, I'm trying to give you practical advice. I used to say the most absurd things and then regretted it. Now I've learned to think before I speak.

no... thats where bragging gets you. There was a guy a grade ahead of me who got voted in as homecoming king (we had around 40 people per grade) and he took it seriously and actually nicknamed himself... "the king". EVERYONE made fun of him because it was all a big joke to get the least popular person on the homecoming court voted as the homecoming king.

I feel like a hypocrite for saying this but keep your personal life out of this damn forum.. noone cares about how *you* supposedly go on dates and your other personal conquests.. it just makes you look stupid and arrogant. you are too young and unexperienced for saying things like that.. which was why i kept my mouth shut on this forum for a while and let the "elders" do there thing.. and besides does noone else here any good.

lmao.. seem to be doing better then him? dude.. the guy nearly lost both of his arms, met a girl, fell in love, had a healthy kid, and had a story written about it. hes older then you and has been through thick and thin. so hold your tounge when he talks to you because he might have some interesting things to say.

couldnt have been said any better.

What is the point of posting anything if only saint Sean (I've got nothing against you personally) is respectable?

Your serious right? I don't believe i said that.. to put it bluntly dont have your mouth write checks your *** can't cash.

I think the rather nasty turn this thread has taken demonstrates quite well why this forum isn't exactly bustling with activity. If someone comes on here feeling a bit down and saying their life isn't going so well right now, inevitably they will get jumped on with a "Oh, quit whining and snap out of it!"

On the other hand if they come on here with good news to share and saying how their life is going well right now they will get "Oh, quit your damn bragging!"

Doesn't leave a whole lot to talk about, does it? Except maybe how you like to watch the Olympics.

If living with Moebius Syndrome were easy, there would be no need for this forum. Am I right? So when a person comes on here feeling down and needing support, let's give them our support instead of our judgment. And if they come on here with good news to share let's strive to be happy for them, not jealous of them.

(Okay. End of lecture. ;) )

I'll put my 5 cents in it - can we start discussions instead of personal attacks? Most importantly, don't take anything so personally, these are replies by people who don't really know you so then can't really judge you. Just take it at the word value and move on. *sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me* - old but true! (and yes, I will do my best to visit this forum a lot more often)

If someone is able to live happy and fulfilled life, please do not allow anything to change that - hold on to it!!! From personal experience, it is soooooo hard to get back on top of the game! (I'm working on it)

Good Luck to All!!!! :)

Well the way i see it is that, well you have a symdrome, you always will, it will NEVER BE FIXED, it will NEVER EVER BE PERFECT, there for WHAT YOU ARE NOW, IS WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE FOREVER UNTIL YOU DIE. Babez, you all got a long life to live, may aswell suck it up and swallow that piece of fact. It is hard, shet It really is. but then at the end of the day...if people dont have time for you then they can get f*cked. That is what ive been told and that is what i believe. No one knows yourself better then you do, so if your alone forever, you still have yourself, and yourself is the only person you can really rely on. It's sad but holy hell, it is true.

Just do what you want, take it easy and when you feel like your going to jump of a building, just remember that you have a life, it might not be perfect, you might not be perfect but in what way!?! there are many sorts of perfect people. Personally, Ild rather be with someone with broken legs and who cant speak then be with some blonde bimbo guy who thinks his top knotch. Even tho i have this syndrom, (very suttle type) i can GARENTEE that i would still think the same.

There are always people out there that care, that want someone true and loyal and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Don't give up or let what everybody else to be normal and attractive and what ever the hell they think to make you feel anything else then what you are. You are beautiful, and everyone who says not deserves to be kicked where it hurts. CALL ME AND I WILL PERSONALLY DO IT

Okay, I personally like to hear about the good things in people's lives. Mark was just trying to encourage Mike, not brag. I know Sean has been through alot- we all have, but he doesn't have to shoot people down all the time. Maybe Mark was voted the president of his class because he's NICE and people like him, it's not all that hard for me to believe. You know I'm well liked, maybe if I had gotten the chance to go to high school and I'd been more confident and outgoing I could have been class president too. We need more positive people like Mark on here.
