My life was a misfire

Truthfully, admissions people don’t have the time to go around screwing people.

Another thing I strongly suggest is that all you ASS-P thread regulars stop talking about ASS-P as if he wasn't even in the room. The added emotional distance of referring to him in 3rd person allows you all to pontificate about what's wrong with him, how he disappoints your best efforts to improve him, blah blah blah, without being polite or considerate towards the person in question. There's a whole lot of "I'm better than you/him" attitude going on here.

If you don't want to read repetitive rants from this person - JUST DON'T READ HIS THREADS. It's that simple.

I found the admissions staff at the three colleges I went to pretty helpful. They try to help you if you’re polite, usually.

And I want to add that the way some regulars gang up on someone who is struggling really amounts to plain old bullying. I'm sick of it. It's not just in this thread - I see it elsewhere as well.

Try to imagine what the other person is going through. (That's called empathy.)

To be honest, I do believe, you, ASS-P, can do the college work academically. They'll have computers for you to use at the college, should you get admitted to it.

You're similar to me, probably.....in that I tend to take what the professor says rather personally, and might seek to debate with the professor. In reality, that's not a smart thing to do.

Imagine if you can send us a picture with you in a classroom? Perhaps, as a joke, you can wear one of those graduation gowns......

You should get a permanent apartment before you seriously pursue this, though.

And let the admissions people help you. They are not like they were in the old days.

I say this from the heart, and perhaps this is a mistake.

I wish you would let go of your past, ASS-P-----of all the nasty things people have done to you. I don't wish you to forget them. But I wish you would try to stop being affected by them.

Even if you don't manage to get the transcripts, maybe you can take some sort of "adult education" course or something? Maybe that's unrealistic----but I think you would enjoy that. You would be around people who want to learn--like you do.

And make sure you launder your clothes frequently. And take showers every day. Or at least like three days a week. And get a haircut, and shave off the beard (though I know you like the long hair and the beard).

I'm probably talking out of my butt----but I don't care.

I just wish you can open yourself up to Life after Crap. Make a new start.

Somebody put out a GoFund for him. No donations.

I don’t believe people would be conned by him, should he try to con somebody.

Yep. More like that.

He wants a guide. He’s freaked out by technology.

What’s the other person going to get? Unless ASS-P changes—-probably not much.

If he stops being bitter, I can see him being a decent conversationalist.

The type of assistance he needs would best be furnished by social services in the form of an assisted living care giver. These are people that help disabled individuals with things like errands, doctors appointments, bill paying and filling out paper work.

.. I have talked here about wanting THE ONE SPECIFIC THING of the TLPOP. That's all. That is not " asking people to go to meetings for me " or any other lie told by RU- who received loads if help himself.
I was not asking for help in applying now. I was not saying that I would immediately apply if I had the TLPOP. It is just that having the TLPOP would give me the confidence to try, knowing that I would be responded to, and had finished this issue too . That is all .

I'd like to hear more about you life, ASS-P There's probably some extreme sadness in it----but I bet there's some funny moments, too. And moments of wisdom, too.

I wish you'd forget about that TLPOP for a little while.
