Every forum needs one of these. A place to go when you just want to be angsty. So, come one, come all and experience angst in the Official Angst Topic.
We have plenty of seats and I'm sure there are many here who can help you feel less angsty.
My angst:
-I don't feel the floppy eared dog likes me enough even though I have devoted so much to the floppy eared dog.
*puts on fake smile*
Ok, I must be strong to face the world.

My angst is that I can't find my angst. I think it left me when it saw me fooling around with fluff.

Aaw, I'm sorry to hear about you floppy-eared dog.

(I haven't even voted in that poll... come to think of it

My current angst:
I can't help but write long well formed posts.
Wait, I don't care if people care about that, so forget that angst.
Kase, you need more angst. Do I need to lock you in this topic until you get angsty?
Omakase Shimasu
Jan 20 2005, 02:35 PM

No~ I hate being confined!
Wait, I know, I know! My current angst:
I feel bad for feeling irritated at double-posts, spam messages where they don't belong, topics being created in the wrong sections etc. etc.

I remember being a just new to the whole forum-thing and the way people were always so nice to me even if I made [many] mistakes... ^^;;
(By the way, I love long well formed posts - brightens my day whenever I see them

Also, it would be hypocritical of me to say otherwise, since I tend to write long posts myself...

;;)

I get angsty about mistreatment of newbies. They're really the best. But you do get those who don't get the whole forum thing. Well, once you get burned out helping people, you just have to pass the torch for a bit, take a break and let someone else do the explaining while you just do the actions.
Friendliness helps to build a good community on a forum. I think the corrections given here are really helpful and nice. Unfortunately it means you've got to move topics and close out duplicates, etc...Perhaps we should create a preformatted message that you just copy and paste into any place where someone makes a mistake:
1. double post message
2. Topic already exists message
3. etc...

That's a great idea!

But I hope the thread
Quistis made about the new and improved forum protocol and whatnot will be sufficient and effective enough to keep my current angst at bay. ^^
Hmm, speaking of which, I never knew there were so many angstless people around here.

People are in denial. If they don't start talking about their angst, they'll all end up committed to a hospital.

So true. Bottling things up inside... definite no-no.
Current angst:
The new format has my mind spinning all of a sudden. It's pretty confusing and me and the new button-formations can't seem to get along right now. @.@ --- wow, how angsty. >__>

"An acute but unspecific feeling of anxiety; usually reserved for philosophical anxiety about the world or about personal freedom."
My angst is soffucating me, it really is.

*come for some angst time*
I've been procrastinating. It's horrible. I make mental deadlines and they're totally ineffective. What worries me is that I think I've become too laid-back to feel any stress about it. I don't worry anymore. I tell myself that things will work out eventually, and they usually do, but isn't stress part of the teenage years? I was way more stressed last year for lesser reasons. Have I just stopped caring, or is it senioritis undiagnosed?
This doesn't make any sense to me at all.

I really hate my boss! I used to be able to ignore his lame jokes and stupid comments about the way I dress, but I can longer tame the anger inside of me. I fear that I might explode and hit upside the head with a stapler. I must get help before I seriously hurt someone!

You'd think that with all those boyfriend/girlfriend (help) threads popping up like rabid daisies, the forum would be angst-ridden.
Apparently not. Or maybe they're too afraid. Maybe we scare people.

*got directed to the angst thread*
My angst is having to deal with idiots day in and day out. At school, at home, here, etc. It's completely mind-boggling that some people can be so stupid and have such disregard for rules and lack necessary common sense. I'm also wondering why some people can be so dirty and think they're all high and mighty for it. It's as though they think trying to look tough will win respect, when all that they're accomplishing is getting their reputation impaled upon a sharp rusty pipe.

I suppose it could just be because it's a smaller/older edition. I checked all 5 of my dictionaries and they all have "angst."

Ermm, that I'm not gonna be allowed to go to college in NY...
That I might do something to botch getting into the top-5...
That I might not be a close-to-perfect daughter after all...
That I'm not a good enough example to my little sister...
That I might not be teaching my students well enough...
That I'm not loving my boyfriend enough...

Aw, Bling! Don't judge yourself too harshly. No one's perfect, or even nearly close-to-perfect--that's the only thing that makes us human, and I think your parents would prefer their daughter to be human. Set your standards according to what will make you happy. *pats Bling's shoulder*

The funny thing about underestimating yourself is that you won't even know it, so when yo realize it, it's a surprise!

@alchemist x: I'm sensing something fishy about Webster and their belief that the word "angst" doesn't deserve to be printed in their dictionaries...

I hope that helped

Actually, my dictionary lacked a definition of the word angst as well, so I looked it up in my International-Dic: the Net.

What's this? First we have to get in touch with our angst and then you try and dispel it again?

I liked it though. Do it again! Again! XD

Aaaaw, adorable mental image!

- angst is gone
But now that you mention it - I hate people who's faces are covered by either make-up or masks.

*shivers* They're just creepy somehow...
IT traumatized me.

I hate mask faces too.
Recently un-repressed angst:
I remember having a dream about a discovery of a new bug. It was very colorful. I was watching it peacefully walk around and then it attacked me - I screamed out and woke up. I'm angsty about what this may represent - perhaps I have some further repressions that must come out before I can fully achieve self actualization...
or maybe I'm just crazy

You're right about it kase. I can only hope that they didn't hurt those cats in trying to make that web site. The only real comfort in it is the fact that kittens are adept at getting in and out of very small places, but they do look uncomfortable I think.

I checked the first dictionary I grabbed..
angst anxiety, esp. a general feeling of anxiety produced by awareness of the uncertainties and paradoxes inherent in the state of being human
uh... okay...
Current angst: Feeling all scared about tomorrow... total humiliation and life being ruined/meaningless... nothing seems to be working.. and when something does.. something else will come in the way.
