lightattheendofthetunnel
Too late..
molphen
But....?
Grangerdanger
He put my feelings into words.
temporalpairofsox
yeah this is me when trying to figure out "how to interact with the rest of humanity" lol
Efreeti
25 and felt this way since 3rd grade.
AConjurerOfCheapTricks
+1 for the genius of Stephen Fry.
SebriBahar
:(
drownthesun
well, yeah.
Deadpo0l
Where is this white room that Stephen Fry constantly goes to to explain the meaning of life?
littlemisscheesy
here you are my friend http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fpztV4oMd4
Pyrohawk
I missed the day in college where everyone learned about things like how to get a job, how an internship works and why it's useful, what...
Utamey
I missed the day where I actually went to college and was taught to cope with crippling social anxieties.
SomeReallyBoredGuy
Don't sweat it. I went to college and I somehow missed that day of class.
"networking" is, how to afford fancy trips/things....I must have passed out for a month at least. Seriously, how did I not know about these?
Mesmer101
Yep
john1912
That was supposed to stop? Fuck me!
OrionRed
Can't remember where I read it, but there is a psychological awareness that people have a notion of an "invisible audience".
CaptainButtbeard
His nose may be crooked, but the man himself is always right.
dangermint
does his nose point to magnetic north or something?
TheFuckIsThisTheFuckWasThat
Stephen Fry, if only I could show you how much all adore you and if only that would keep you from your depression.
itsjimmysbrotherthesinger
So THAT'S what they were teaching at school in the 11th grade on my poop day
Crickets
Paranoid resentment sounds right.
TheBalls
Everyone is not against you. They are just for themselves.
IAmQueenKoopa
he's british, i doubt he was at a dental appointment...
CrispSandwiches
As a British woman I don't understand this dig at British dentists. Wat?
trcndc
His nose godamnit, gets me everytime.
TheWolf277
Ok, then? The solution? You didn't post the gif with the solution!
WildBillsUsedCoffinEmporium
Remember, everyone is afraid, no one knows what they're doing. Some people just bluff better then others.
TheGreatMizuti
And then some people aren't even aware they're bluffing. They are that confident. I envy them so much xD
TacticusThrowaway
I don't bluff, AND I somehow come across as confident. I am in some sort of panic/indifference superposition.
Oxyd
If it isn't like this, then why is everybody else's life better and finer and fuller?
Inmate45
"Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about"... always remember that.
kazenokize
Because you are comparing the best they show with the worst you live. Do the opposite and suddenly your life is better and finer and fuller.
underdogoverhead
Very wise, you are.
skyhook
Adolescence? I'm 44 and still feel this way.
axbycz
I'll let you borrow some of my years...I'm almost 22 :)
SquishyPanda
30 coming up in a couple of months and this still keeps me up some nights.
supermassivesouffle
I'm 19 and this comment has introduced me to the possibility that this "phase" actually never ends. Oh dear. :(
Supernerdtastic
I believe the point is the feeling starts in that time. ^^
BiteTheHandsThatThieve
Yeah, 23 and I feel that way. Learning to move past it though.
ohmegatron
I also feel this way. lets be friends!
funkjacket
you're not the only one, bro. Let's keep on truckin. I'm on a quest for wisdom though
SuperTP
congratulations, you're the oldest person i've seen on here. I dont feel so bad at 33 now
haroldroux
Feel a little better, I'm 37...
The last time age came up someone piped up who was two years older than me, but it's rare.
gobraves
21
littlebrownbird
Damn, I was hoping I would get the lesson sometime this year. Maybe at 45?
I turn 45 next April. I'll keep you informed, but I'm not optimistic.
peacockfuta
I'm so sad he tried killing himself, I hope he's doing better this year
Read that as "glad he tried killing himself" - holy shit, I almost cancelled all appointments to prove you wrong.
O__O WHAAATT I would never say that! =O
So glad I took the time to reread your comment before responding. Ha-ha! :D
Washdaytomorrow
Stephen Fry is such a great guy, why is he always trying to kill himself?
I'm pretty sure he only tried once?
No, he's made other attempts but they were portrayed as something less serious like running away. Poor guy.
That's incredibly saddening. Do you have a source for this, though? I can only find information on the one attempt.
I can't say how i know, sorry. But on a public source, read between the lines here: (1/2)

i need more fryisms to get me out of this rut.
LivinDavideLoca
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fpztV4oMd4 the whole video of this, enjoy :)
thank you kind sir/madam.
HipHipHooray
this is beautiful, thank you.
wildmoe
I am in a rut too, fighting to climb out. How about we motivate each other?
rapid eyebrow raising
all ears, even with rapid eyebrow raising, im sure misterfarenheit451 is too.
MisterFahrenheit451
shukriya.
KarlPilkington
Stephen Fry just gets it. He knows everything.
CommanderAlekz
You learn a lot when you're out on the streets from your coke addiction and bipolar disorder. Dude's seen some shit.
He has taken those lessons!!
tekkenchoir
If he knows everything, why doesn't he tell us how to get past this? *cries*
bumblebeehedgehogfish
He reads newspapers then puts them back on the shelf instead of buying them and no one has the balls to stop him! (He lives near me!)
superscubasteve
Now don't get me wrong I've a lot of respect for the man but he doesn't have it figured out, he tried to kill himself last year, just sayin
ErnestGeddington
Maybe he HAS figured it all out and it made him so depressed that he wanted to kill himself ;)
spirrisilver
That's not entirely his fault though. It's hard to just "figure out" your bi-polar disorder and accompanying suicidal thoughts/depression.
PGSAWSM
Except History, remember his words about Ausschwitz?
57x28mm
I wonder if I ever get to talk to him, I'll ask what number I'm thinking of and he'll get it right. Then we'll have tea in the late morning.
nahro316
Think of a number between 1 and 10. Go on. Did you think of a number?
Go ahead.
Was it 7?
...Yes.
