He openly admits he can't control his emotions and impulses when it comes to spending money on comics. I'd never thought I'd see the day where you stood up for me like that... Thank you. I don't like how people dismiss addictions or mental problems as something as being "lazy" because they don't understand it and that's the simplest way to get rid of people. I admitted that I have a problem and I'm doing things to fix that do you truly think someone that's lazy would do this? Gabe, you may want to read that again. No one is standing up for you in this exchange. Those two are discussing semantics. One says you're an addict, the other says you're a lazy millennial. If you genuinely think he's standing up for you, you're essentially admitting to being a lazy millennial who wants to avoid hard work and only desires instant gratification. And I've got to agree with JCJames in regards to where your focus should lie. It seems that 99% of your effort is spent trying to improve your ability to buy and sell comics and the other 1% is spent trying to improve other aspects of your life. That ratio should be flipped. In fact, if you dropped your effort spent on comics for even a year and devoted all your effort to investing in yourself and improving other aspects of your life that matter in far more substantial ways (job performance, business knowledge, math skill, hygiene, etc.), I GUARANTEE that when you resumed your comic practices in a year's time you'd be far better at it then than you are now. That's a big reason my last few posts have ignored the comics side of things and have focused on trying to nudge you in the right direction in your working life. Fix that, and other things will fall into place. Please re-read my posts and put serious thought into them. That's not how I interpreted the post he wrote I see it as he realized what my problem is and he's helping me by giving me solutions and guidelines to follow. He also said that others call it "lazy" when that's the easiest thing to say to say to someone and leave it alone because either they don't know better or because they're ignorant. Maybe I'm wrong but that's how I saw it. Please read it again. I've bolded the relevant portion. Read each sentence word by word and tell me where you see something that casts you in a positive light. I didn't say what you said was positive I was talking about what James posted and you want to know something? Having a learning disability isn't a cakewalk and please don't make it out to be. I struggle with the simplest concepts that other people grasp easily, I lack common sense that most have, I forget things easily it's not "Lazy" it's my reality, I would trade you any day you wanted because you take for granted what you have and how you respond to me is proof of that. I'm trying to better myself and I'm being put down for it, this is the exact reason I feel like there's no point to it because I feel like regardless of what I do my mistakes get pointed out despite the positive things I've done but you know what? I'm going to continue because I can't succeed if I give up I will do my best to overcome these obstacles I want you to ask yourself honestly if you had these problems would it be easy? Forgetting things within seconds Losing your train of thought Having trouble with math and following maps Trouble with mental clarity and explaining things Trouble with doing simple tasks and common sense I deal with these problems every day of my life so please do not make light of it I would glad have chosen to be born normal if I could. I also know that I need to face these problems head on to grow. Gabe, What I said wasn't in itself positive or negative. All I've tried to do was provide some objective advice relevant to your situation. Your lashing out just now tells me that maybe you're starting to see that what the above poster was doing wasn't "standing up for you", though I think you may be a bit misdirected as you thanked the person who insulted you (Harvey) and are getting snippy with the person who was clarifying his post as you seemed to misinterpret it (me). Most people in this thread are just trying to help, despite your reluctance to follow most of the incredibly good advice listed. Additionally, I'm no medical doctor, but I tend to buy into the statement that many people in your generation are over-diagnosed with different physical/mental afflictions that may or may not actually exist. I've met plenty of people in my life who would get a clean mental bill of health but still have trouble remembering things, reading maps, or doing math problems. These people I've met can't recall what they had for breakfast, but they can remember the most inane stats in football for the past few years or know every bit of lore from the Harry Potter series or any other number of things. There is nothing mentally wrong with these people, they simply remember what truly interests them and figure out a way to store that information. Everything else is too hard (uninteresting) to them, so they don't bother. Conversely, I've met some people that when diagnosed with legitimate learning disabilities, they didn't let it defeat them. Sure, they have to work harder just to stand on level ground with everyone else when it comes to recall, math, etc., but they do it. They made a conscious decision to not let their learning disability define them. They chose to be who they are not because of their diagnosis, but in spite of it. So you don't have a diagnosis, but you seem to know the symptoms. What are you doing to address these? In your free time, are you reading maps? Do you use them when you walk places, even when you know where you're going? Do you practice math problems? Do you ever practice the simple tasks you have trouble with? These things don't always come naturally to people. Even someone with no learning disability has to practice these things before they get them right. Finally, you say you're overwhelmed by long threads about comics because you try to memorize them and can't. Since you enjoy quotes, I'll leave you with one. "Never memorize something you can look up" -Albert Einstein Then I apologize I didn't read who quoted it as I remembered it wrong I do get snippy for the simple reason that people think they can just call learning disabilities "being lazy" and be happy with what they've said. Yes how it worked is couldn't figure out exactly what my learning disability is which more then pissed me off because as a paid professional I would expect results and a diagnosis not vague description because I may have the symptoms but without people knowing what it is they can't fully help me so it's like a catch 22. I'm scared to use maps I can follow simple ones but when there are too many streets I get lost because how I remember places is remembering landmarks. I practice basic math problems and learn how to look at percentages. As for the simple tasks do you mean I repeat them to get better? Sometimes yes but my parents get angry at me for not being able to do it and tell me "a baby can do better then you" That's terrible to hear but yes I do try when I get the chance. So when you dealers and spec people see hot comics do you write down a list of like top 50 comics and buy them? Do you use a picture reference with what the comic is or just the title of what it is?

The Kelly Bundy method. I love Harry Potter it was my childhood and that sounds about right it's easier to remember things that I like compared to things I don't.

I think it's a awesome show Al and his comebacks make me laugh.

I don't think people will do this I'm pretty sure we all see your updates. I've had people before tell me they couldn't see it

Looks like you're catching on. Keep yourself pointed in the right direction now and move one step at a time.Focus on improving your most valuable asset you have, yourself. Yes that's going to be a lot of work and I already do budgeting so learning self-control and discipline with spending will be good for me. Your method is much better then mine and I'll follow it as it will get me results faster and guess what? Thanks to taking a longer period to accumulate money means I can focus on selling what I still have left over.

Gabe, I've noticed you bring this up several times in your journal, so I feel intrigued (and able) to ask you about it. Obviously, this is a sensitive issue for anyone to discuss .. if you don't want to answer it on a public forum, I'll completely understand and I apologise for asking, but ... .. you have a learning disability, I'm sure that having a psychiatrist is not needed to help you with that, so .. what is it? What else are you holding back-on that you need a psyche?? If you do answer the question as to why, it may give us a clearer picture why you make the decisions that you do. I have no problem answering that question. A psychiatrist because they don't know what my learning disability is but realize what symptoms I have, so the more I know about the things I do the more I can tell them and have them give me ways to cope with it. Also as a emotional person I'm more prone to being depressed and doing things on impulse and while I can't change who I am I can change what I do. If you guys have any questions about why I do what I do just ask I'm not afraid to talk about it. The thing about the psychiatrist that scares me is they keep offering me medicine and I refuse to take it because 1. They don't know what I have 2) Those pills are dangerous and have seriously messed people up permanently. I know my situation isn't the best but I don't want it to be worse so I ask what natural ways they have of coping with people that have similar symptoms to mine. This is the problem. You don't want to change what you do because it's too much work for you. You don't like your current situation but you've done very little to change it. You've known for over a year that you have bad hygiene but you've admitted that you haven't done anything to correct it. A shrink can't clean you up, you have to make the effort and stop grasping for reasons for why you're not succeeding in life, you made the decisions to put you where you are at. You're 100% right I do make all the decisions that place me where I am in life and I have started to follow through with some of the advice given here. This is a refreshing post Gabe. You're taking responsibility for your life and not making excuses. Actions speak louder than words. I thought that as I made the post but at least he didn't make excuses or blame someone else. Can only hope his post reflects a change in attitude and he's becoming a better person - something I think we should all strive to be. I agree 100% and I'm rooting for him to succeed. I'd like to see him say less things like " I can't memorize things well, but I know some books to look for" turn into something like " I've taken people's advice and I've begun making a list of books to look for". To me it seems like such a simple thing, especially if you know your limitations, but maybe I take basic skills like that for granted. Maybe I should explain what I see. When I look at the threads I get overwhelmed by trying to memorize it and I can't and I've tried writing it down and it's not clear enough so when I come back to it I don't even know why I wrote what I did. I do have some comics memorized but it's all the keys and what happens when I go to the LCS is pictures blur in my mind if it looks too similar and I think I'm getting a key it turns out it's not. Believe me I'm not making this up but one thing that has gone right is my keeping track of what I bought and sold. How hard is it to make a list? Just do this: Amazing Spider-Man #129 Amazing Spider-Man #361 etc. etc. Take that list with you when you go to a flea market or LCS. Keep the list handy when you look on eBay. I think you're making this much harder than it needs to be. That ties in with my lack of common sense like I said before but you're right I'll take a look at some flippable comics and make a list from there.

General update Since so many people post and don't see or miss my updates you will now be able to go to my first page and see them instead of wondering where the update is.

Making money is what I like to do and I know already I don't like the art or story lines I've seen in comics modern comics for the majority of it. I don't drink smoke or do drugs so that's a plus and about exercise the last time I seriously worked out was about 7 years ago. Other the spending money on comics what should I start with? I'm not sure what to do first there are lots of choices. If you don't like comics, and you like making money, why did you decide to sell comics which you're not very good at? I do like comics but not moderns ones or ones with bad writing in it that although I don't like how Thor talks likes Shakespeare and I do like comics I like: x-men, amazing spider-man, archie, batman, doctor strange, four color comics with the ducks and bugs bunny characters, justice league of america, Super-man is pretty good in the gold and silver age oh and I love aquaman and namor.

Good for you, but I'm sure we are all on pins and needles to hear the particulars of the deal. He is asking $1050 for it on a few Facebook groups with time payment option. Yes the comic is pending and I've had two other offers on it.

He openly admits he can't control his emotions and impulses when it comes to spending money on comics. He is extremely impulsive to the point where he buys a 8.0 thinking it's an 8.5. He has thousands of dollars in the just past couple years worth of these mere "mistakes". And yet he keeps on making them and admits his problem. Vegas thrives on people like that. As others have pointed out - he CAN'T stop himself. He gets a rush from finding that "next great deal". When he's surfing the web looking for deals, is brain is probably acting just like a gambler watching for that next roll of the dice and thinking "If only I learn this game better, I'll win even more", all the while - he - keeps -making - huge - blunders... and all these blunders are because he can't control his impulses and his emotions. So you can dismiss it as just being lazy - and that's your opinion. Just like a gambler or smoker or alcoholic is just too "lazy" to quit. I'd never thought I'd see the day where you stood up for me like that... Thank you. I don't like how people dismiss addictions or mental problems as something as being "lazy" because they don't understand it and that's the simplest way to get rid of people.

I like quotes and yes I do realize I can't vote for Trump but I don't want politics messing with my journal. I'm getting help from a life coach and a psychiatrist and as for comics I just need to be smarter with what I do because I do learn from them whether you believe it or not I night make them two or three times but I do learn. Gabe since WHEN did you actually start seeing a life coach and/or psychiatrist? Funny just a few days ago you mentioned that would be a good idea and now all of a sudden you have both? Fact is you don't learn. You pay lip service to it. Keep on failing bud. It's not funny to me you never asked and I've had her for at least 6 months and the life coach three months you guys don't believe I'm making any changes so I thought it was pointless to mention until you brought it up, Soooo...You have had a life coach for three months eh? Then why did you respond this way when it was brought up earlier just a few days ago? Posted on 09/07/16 Now that is some solid advice. I think a mentor is just the thing he needs, but it's got to be someone in person and not some well meaning internet buddies IMHO. Still looking for a person like that. Which is it? You say you have had a life coach/mentor for the past three months when just a few days ago you said you were still looking for a person like that. Oh that I have but their schedules are busy and I always get cut short because I talk too much. I do have both a life coach and a psychiatrist that I work with. A few days ago you said you didn't have one. Now you are saying you have had one for the past three months...Just so we are clear now, you DO have paid professionals helping you. Is that right? If so, have them read this thread. To clear things up one of them is paid and that's the life coach and the psychiatrist is in training but she's done two years of schooling and is honest with what I need to improve on with no sugar coating things. Paid life coach...Is it through a counselling firm or service? The psychiatrist is IN school and has two years of training? Something not adding up. In Canada to become a psychiatrsit you need about 10 to 12 years of post secondary education. First a BA in Science (usually) and then 4 years of medical school. Then specialize in Psychiatry... Only a licensed Psychiatrist can issue meds... Do you maybe have her specialty wrong? I don't know. To me you keep seeing medical professionals until you can get an actual diagnosis. Again things just not making sense... The life coach is a paid one through a service and I'm pretty sure she's a psychiatrist in training but will ask again, The one the offered me meds was licensed and finished school. The one that's giving me advice on things in the girl in training.

ASM 129 Update The ASM 129 is pending and I was told by the buyer I should have the payment in 36 hours

I'll say you picked up some of the most valuable comics there are

Awesome pickup

Gabe, I've noticed you bring this up several times in your journal, so I feel intrigued (and able) to ask you about it. Obviously, this is a sensitive issue for anyone to discuss .. if you don't want to answer it on a public forum, I'll completely understand and I apologise for asking, but ... .. you have a learning disability, I'm sure that having a psychiatrist is not needed to help you with that, so .. what is it? What else are you holding back-on that you need a psyche?? If you do answer the question as to why, it may give us a clearer picture why you make the decisions that you do. I have no problem answering that question. A psychiatrist because they don't know what my learning disability is but realize what symptoms I have, so the more I know about the things I do the more I can tell them and have them give me ways to cope with it. Also as a emotional person I'm more prone to being depressed and doing things on impulse and while I can't change who I am I can change what I do. If you guys have any questions about why I do what I do just ask I'm not afraid to talk about it. The thing about the psychiatrist that scares me is they keep offering me medicine and I refuse to take it because 1. They don't know what I have 2) Those pills are dangerous and have seriously messed people up permanently. I know my situation isn't the best but I don't want it to be worse so I ask what natural ways they have of coping with people that have similar symptoms to mine.

I appreciate the compliment but many people here have pointed out my grammar mistakes and they're right it's something I need to improve on, also my my problems aren't solely just with grammar. It's most interpersonal and not sure exactly what common sense would end up in but that as well.

Harvey, please don't assume you know how my learning disability does or doesn't affect me. I ask for tips because people find ways to make things easier on themselves instead of it taking longer for example someone may know how copy all of the thread at the same time. Is that being lazy? No it's thinking smarter and saving time where you can. There are many things that I don't like but if it's something I think I can do I'm determined to do it. It sure does sound like laziness. Basically you want someone else to do the homework for you because it'll save you time. Again the answer is no I'll explain again. I ask for other people's advice because they do things quickly and more efficiently then I can so am I being lazy by wanting to save time on things that take longer then they should? I would happily help someone save time if they asked about something I know. I don't believe in being greedy with knowledge unless it's something like a honey hole or trade secret type thing then I understand. Am I to assume you never asked any boardie here for help? You never asked how to do something quicker and more efficiently? I find that hard to believe. You among all people should know this that I'm not being lazy by doing this I'm asking for tips not asking for someone to do everything for me. You yourself admitted that I lack common sense so when I try to ask for help with something I didn't think of yet you call me lazy for doing it. I can assure you that I do not go looking for advice on an Internet board. I'm saying you are lazy because you don't want to take the time to read the speculator threads because they're "too overwhelming". If you can read and respond to all of the post in this thread then I'm sure you can read the posts in the other thread. Yes I'd be able to read it but this is different since I respond to what you ask or post the spec thread would be trying to memorize what I see which I have trouble with but I do know some comics to look for. People have said more than once, including myself to write this stuff down and make a list of books you can refer to. There is no need to use " I can't memorize stuff" as an excuse. I do that sometimes and unfortunately it's not a excuse but I will do things to get over it or at least cope with my memory.

I like quotes and yes I do realize I can't vote for Trump but I don't want politics messing with my journal. I'm getting help from a life coach and a psychiatrist and as for comics I just need to be smarter with what I do because I do learn from them whether you believe it or not I night make them two or three times but I do learn. Gabe since WHEN did you actually start seeing a life coach and/or psychiatrist? Funny just a few days ago you mentioned that would be a good idea and now all of a sudden you have both? Fact is you don't learn. You pay lip service to it. Keep on failing bud. It's not funny to me you never asked and I've had her for at least 6 months and the life coach three months you guys don't believe I'm making any changes so I thought it was pointless to mention until you brought it up, Soooo...You have had a life coach for three months eh? Then why did you respond this way when it was brought up earlier just a few days ago? Posted on 09/07/16 Now that is some solid advice. I think a mentor is just the thing he needs, but it's got to be someone in person and not some well meaning internet buddies IMHO. Still looking for a person like that. Which is it? You say you have had a life coach/mentor for the past three months when just a few days ago you said you were still looking for a person like that. Oh that I have but their schedules are busy and I always get cut short because I talk too much. I do have both a life coach and a psychiatrist that I work with. A few days ago you said you didn't have one. Now you are saying you have had one for the past three months...Just so we are clear now, you DO have paid professionals helping you. Is that right? If so, have them read this thread. To clear things up one of them is paid and that's the life coach and the psychiatrist is in training but she's done two years of schooling and is honest with what I need to improve on with no sugar coating things.
