The fact you think this is comparable to winning the jackpot on euromillions or being chased across the country by a serial killer is either depressing or illustrates which one of us is delusional :rotfl:

Carry on de-railing the thread

Do you think people are impressed? Or that they warm to you when you talk like this?

What did you squander your jackpot win on?

The irony of informing someone their life is "pretty normal", when you know almost nothing about them, is apparently wasted on you

Thank you for the compliment though, I really wish it were true

Well you have posted a lot of information on here and surely if you had anything to add that would show you have had a life that "makes you more experienced than most" you would have posted it by now to prove me wrong.

You seem to have some need to feel superior to everyone else. You must be past retirement age yet have to have the inconvenience of two lodgers living in your home because you have no money to make ends meet. Even though you won a large amount of money on the EuroMillions in the last 15 years so you must have squandered it all!. If you were as experienced at life as you suggest you would be living a life of luxury now and not bunked up with two strangers in your own home. :rotfl:

But please tell us more :rotfl:

In fact, I haven't said anything about what I've been through in life, and I don't think it's right to poke fun of others based on speculation about what their lives are like. I welcome constructive criticism based on facts, but speculative insults only results in making others feel bad, which is unnecessary- you have no idea what others might be going through at any time from an online forum & how personally they might take the insults.

Do you think if someone were really chased by a serial killer or other life-changing events that they'd talk about it on an online forum? I wouldn't!

If you didn't want criticism you shouldn't have come on here claiming you have a more experienced life than most people on here trying to make out your life is some how superior.

If you come on here making claims like that after posting very mundane stories about your life then you have to expect to be called out on it.

People have published books and promoted them in the media about truly horrific events such as being sexually abused as a child.

Posting anonymously on a forum about being chased by a serial killer as an adult sounds like a pretty reasonable thing to write about in comparison.

I am told that I have lived an extraordinarily eventful life, by family and friends. Looking back, I suppose I have, but I don't feel the need to expose it all here. Or anywhere else, come to that. For one thing, it would take up far too much time and space.

But it is also my life. No one else needs to know the (occasionally sordid) details!

But carry on Bob, I may return to your boring diary at some point.

Thank you, I think where I am taking it is much more interesting!

It is not about comparability, it is about everyone having anecdotes/incidents/adventures/issues/achievements/sordid details/failings which are worthy of note, interesting, or both.

If you believe your life to be more than any of the above, write a book, earn back that Euro Millions win that seems to have slipped away.....;)

I have visions of a self-published tome! The thread reminds me of a guy around here, in fact I suspected it was he!

Me too- that's why I don't expose it all on here. I only talk about trivial things. It can be therapeutic! If you don't want to read you certainly don't have to.
