When you're sad?

Lmao! I do that even when I'm happy hence my huge ass.
I usually listen to music

I agree..This thread is just for someone who is sad..Im not personally sad.. what can cheer them up.I almost always cry.. makes it almost feel better. I also usually smoke a J and listen to some Bob Marley. Relaxation.

Does it look like I have a huge ass?? heheMore like flat and wide!

Girl my ass is so big I got black girls jealous. Why else would my fiance wanna marry me?

I'm one of those mind over matter types, and I try to reason myself out of sadness. Lets say I start getting really bummed about my last relationship (random thoughts, or such), when it gets to be sad enough for me to dislike it, then I simply reason my way out of it. "She was extremely selfish, you gave it your all, and she lost it. As far as you're concerned, you're amazing. Period."I can't think of many other things to be sad about at the moment, but I usually just apply the same concepts. "It's raining " "Well tomorrow will be sunny " "I lost my job. " "Well, I didn't like it anyway " "I failed my night class. " "When I retake it, I'll be way prepared then. "

Thats a really good idea. I do that too.

Just depends how sad or depressed I am. Often times a long hot bath with meditation or a long jog can really change my mood.But I can admit that if I am really sad/depressed a good hard cry really helps. I know not a "manly" thing to admit, but who cares its honesty. After a good cry it seems like all the stress and bad emotions are just gone. I have always felt crying is very healthy, mentally and even physically.

Well, I usually just keep it all to myself. Not saying that is the best thing to do though.

Since this currently appears to be a largely girl post, I thought I would add my largely male perspective :wink:

As a man, when I am sad...

I like to shop, retail therapy is goooood, if there's something I want that is... it's more depressing if you can't find what you want

If it's really bad, I will curl up in a little ball somewhere private and hopefully dark, and I will cry, a lot

I used to eat ice cream, but I have found out I am lactose intollerant (damn, that in itself makes me sad)

Seeing my friends usually helps, and I think that's the same for everyone... if you can talk to a friend, you always feel better :smile: cuz, lets face it, we've all had our low points, so we can all help each other out :smile:

My friend drinks himself to a stupour most nights that he is depressed... this however is not a good idea... alcohol = depressant :frowning: I have tried talking to him about this, but, he has yet to take this on board, though, as I'm one of his best friends and I've asked him to try and cut back on the drinking for his own benefit, he is trying :smile:

TV is also your friend when you're down... for me... Clarkson on Top Gear cheers me up immensely... one of my favorite quotes comes from when he was comparing the Porsche GT2 and the McLaran Mercedes SLK of the Porsche GT2, he stated: "this however, is about as forgiving as a third world dictator" ... always makes me smile, nomatter how wound up I am! ... I have that one on DVD just in case :wink: lol

I'm a guy..

Radeckl is also of the male gender

Quote: Girl my ass is so big I got black girls jealous. Really? Do you really think me and other black women are jealous because your ass is probably bigger than ours? Get a life...seriously!

Classy -
I'm sure she was just messing around. As in opinions, her ass may be big by her standards. Like a man brags about penis size, so a woman is bragging about her ass.

ya i'm pretty sure she didn't mean it like that.Is this the first time you've heard this expression?

Yeah, it is. I'm not surprised people make comments like that, though.

me neither.. but i've heard it before.

Kristal! I was about to say something when I saw that but I had to leave it alone so nothing started.Black girls... that's funny man... and I've never heard of that either.

lol who cares about Oprah and her comments. She's Oprah. She gets away with anything and everything.I just find it very ironic that people "like" the big butts now when black women used to get made fun of for it all the time as being "unnatural" and "unfeminine" before. And then they turn it on us as a joke. It's just retarded. People... are retarded lol

I did a research paper for black history month a while back on the mistreatment of black women from the times of slavery up to the late 50s. I've never cried so much writing a paper in all my life. It was ridiculous. They made my class watch a video about a black woman brought over from Africa and put her in a traveling circus naked at all times for people to "stare in amazement" because of the way her body was shaped. And then when she died they preserved her oversized body parts in a museum. I was horrified and beyond upset.
