>>14 dont let the words of someone who has succumbed to despair convince you to not take a chance to live life. i have been like poster 11 before and conventions helped me recover into a happy social person. i found people like us who were recovering from despair and worked on growing together into more effective people.

trying wont hurt, poster 11 is just projecting their despair onto you and isnt even right about the stuff hes saying.

i have 15 years of convention experience, so who are you going to trust? someone who wants everyone to be as miserable as him? you deserve better.
