People on Tangst are some of the cruelest, most judgmental people I've ever known.

The Internet makes people too brave.

After moving cross country for college, thinking it would make me a happier person, I realize that I've never been more miserable in my entire life. Completely broke, all of my classes dropped, and on the verge of eviction (from my dorm!), I'm at the end of my rope. Further more, I lack a proper social network, choosing to purposely alienate myself with the knowledge I'll probably have to leave. At the same time, going back home would make me feel like an utter failure in the eyes of my mother and peers. I don't even have any idea how to begin moving back, I just feel so hopeless and lost. I just want to drop out.

Of course on top of all of this there's relationship drama. The boy of my dreams is on the coast I moved from. Before we parted ways he said that he thinks "We'll be OK" but I don't know what that means. He's all I think about and I haven't the slightest idea how he feels about me now, even after dating for nearly a year. I'm positive he's going to find someone a million times better than me.

I've totally F'ed my life up, I just felt so pressured even after realizing that I didn't want to leave anymore, I did and now I don't even know why I'm here.

Hooooooly shit.

1)I thought this was a place for people to come together, to trust strangers with their secrets, and not to be completely bashed about their lives.

2)Wasn't there some rule about not disclosing the identity of posters? Good job following your own rules, admins.

3)Spoiled fucking brats. We are super fortunate to live within the small percentage of the population that actually gets to go to college, and you have the nerve to think it's SAD to be going to Wake Tech? It's education! It's good education! Just because it doesn't cost your mommies and daddies 15000 a year to go doesn't make it any less of a good basic studies place.

4)So what if he lied? Have you guys never lied in your lifetime? If he was embarassed about not getting into UNC (which he shouldn't be) then cut him some fucking slack, let him say what he needs to to feel better.

You guys make me sick. We have enough bullshit going on in the world today and for you to come here and attack someone because of a lie? Get a fucking grip and look at yourselves. Nobody is perfect. Leave him alone. What little faith I had left in people is now gone because of you, tangsters. Thanks.

wow so Im in quite a situation, My girlfriend who is madly in love with me and I with her, believes that I have had sex with two girls before her, I told her this early in the relationship because she asked me and I was too nervous to tell her that I am in fact a virgin. Now our relationship has become much more serious and we are probably going to have sex pretty soon. The problem is this lie, she thinks I have experience because I made up a back story for the two girls and everything, Each piece was a white lie but together they have created a monster. Its not that big of a deal or it wouldn't be except that she is a virgin too. I want to tell her that she will be my first because I hate lying to her and the more she ask about my past the more I have to lie to keep up the previous lie that Im not a virgin. I know it will hurt her to find out that I lied to her and that is the last thing I want to do, But I hate lying to her as well. What should I do, If I tell her how should I?

I've never been completely honest with anyone in my entire life. I can't think of a single person I've talked to and not lied to at least once.

I am a compulsive liar.

I lie all the time...to everyone about everything. My parents, my friends, people that I love, strangers. I know it's my fault that no one really knows me, but it still sucks.

It scares me how easy it is.

Talking to you so often, I sometimes feel really guilty. I wonder if, had I not lied months ago, you would be happier, or at least less sad and stressed. That maybe your current and persistent misery is somehow my fault. If only I had admitted things, maybe you wouldn't have gone back to her, maybe you'd be able to be your own person again.

Maybe I wouldn't see the life being sucked out of you on a daily basis.

Hello, my name's Sam, and I'm a really suspicious bastard.

Really, though, because I am constantly plotting and scheming, I suspect everyone else of doing the same.

Karma's a bitch, hey?

I was lying and I am really sorry about it.

I am glad you recognized it though. Thank you for caring enough to look, and bothering to know me well enough to notice that I was not telling the whole truth.

If only you had called me out on it.

every time it hurts like hell, but I lie to make you feel better.

One of my best friends is in a serious relationship. She is very in love with the guy, and theyve been together for a couple of years. Over the summer she met someone who lives far away that she really liked. She briefly thought she was maybe in love with him, but it passed and now she is very glad she stayed with her boyfriend. She told me once that she NEVER cheated on her boyfriend.

I have recently heard from a reliable source that my friend did indeed cheat on her boyfriend, and only told one person about it (whom she is no longer friends with). This person told a bunch of people, and pretty much everyone knows except her boyfriend.

I don't really care whether or not she cheated on her boyfriend, but I really care whether or not she lied to me. Is there a tactful way for me to find out, or should I just ignore it? I can't stand to think she might have lied to me.
