Regedit unblocker

A long time ago I blocked my headset driver from installing to prevent crashes how can I unblock it?

2024.03.08 23:33 zerothepkk A long time ago I blocked my headset driver from installing to prevent crashes how can I unblock it?

Hey all a long time ago I was getting random video driver crashes that seemed to be attributed to something ICUE or corsair related. I thought it was my headset because it would often happen when I plugged it in to charge or switched it to wireless. After some digging I read some people had success after blocking the driver from installing via regedit. I haven't had the issue but I keep getting spammed this when the driver tries to re-install itself. "The installation of this device is forbidden by system policy contact your system admin" Is there a way to suppress this message for this driver or a way to unblock it from regedit and see if the issue is even still happening? I forgot the process and what I did to even block it in the first plce tbh but it was a Corsair Virtuoso headset that I believe I blocked.

2024.01.11 01:47 pjacksone Microsoft Purview DLP policy

A Microsoft Purview DLP policy was setup in our tenant to block browsers outside of Chrome and Edge. We have found that this has caused issues in other areas, and we turned it off but it’s not applying to the users laptops. Is there a place in group policy or regedit that I can go on the laptop to unblock this setting or does it take an extremely long time for it to push down to users laptops?

2023.09.13 17:44 RefrigeratorDue406 Help enabling command prompt and regedit.

I was trying to install python for vscode but when I clicked to install it, I got an error message saying that "this app has been blocked by your system administrator." Ive searched for how to unblock it and I was trying solutions involving regedit and command prompt which when I try to run either of them I get the same error message and its starting to feel like an impossible loop to get out of

Any solutions would be greatly appreciated!!

2023.02.05 00:28 aouniat LocalTuya devices are offline

I installed LocalTuya and everything works fine. I then decided to follow the "block dns" step to cut the devices from the internet.
I checked multiple google results but nothing worked. Here's what I did.
1- Uninstalled the tuya app, smart life etc... to ensure that my bluetooth isn't connecting through these apps. Also tries disconnecting bluetooth.
2- Blocked the devices from the internet (using a static ip) from the router admin panel (tp-link). The moment turn the switch on, the devices go offline.
3- Blocked the devices from the internet from pihole. I added a regedit domain ".*" and applied it to the group which I added the tuya devices to.
Devices only go back online in home assistant when I unblock them from the router admin panel!

Another can't open asio thread
NOTE:
Make full system backups, folder copies, registry exports, and system restore snapshots until you are confident you can fail at recovering your own system. This is information provided at your own risk, I'm not providing tech support, I'm too lazy to have reproduced and tested that this was the actual solution after I got mine; ASUS pays people to do that, not me.

If you don't know any of this stuff, just save time, wipe your PC now and start clean. If you want to learn, get a backup and try this since you'll be losing all your data soon anyway. If you're brave and want your RGB to blinky without a pop-up message, get a backup and go for it. Either way this is all at your own risk, but if it works for you, please confirm with a note below since ASUS won't help us with a KB article or working apps ever probably. Looking at you ASUS, mobo kings for decades, half-assed utilities are not a good look; even Dell sort of got their shit together for a little while.

If this doesn't work for you but something else did, post it and pay it forward to some other poor bastard trying to understand why asio.sys is the bane of their blinky RGB rig. This worked for me, it may not be one-size fits all, but after trying all the solutions I had found on the internet, I'd never come across removing the services. For me it was a round of extensive uninstalling, then stumbling upon and asking myself "why do these services still exist after extensive uninstallation"? Then failing again until I got it all in the right order. For some the "unblock file" is the ultimate fix, for others something else, for some of us, nothing fixes it. I could speculate why, but don't care, I already got mine. I only stopped to post this because I saw "can't find asio.sys" in my reddit feed, got triggered and went LeBouf because of my ASIO related PCSTD.

I broke down and went at it because the ASUS tools for checking the latest BIOS and Intel Management Engine Component updates would also fail on "Can't find ASIO.SYS". Otherwise, AC and AI are unnecessary, sort of good for some magic tuning, but no one cares about that, RGB is life, so it is a critical application.

GO:

Download the latest installers for AISuite3 and ArmouryCrate. Also download the uninstallers for both apps. These are found on the support site / downloads page for your mobo.
Right click these zip files and go to properties, make sure to check the "unblock" box warning that the software is from another computer. Unzip the files, do not use them yet, but when you do run them, always right-click and select "Run As Administrator". I know, you're an administrator already, just do it anyway.

https://i.redd.it/xjarw1ncqdaa1.gif
Update Windows PowerShell to the latest version and reboot. This will be the last time I google something for you https://aka.ms/powershell-release?tag=stable

Download, install, and use "Revo Uninstaller" to aggressively run the built-in uninstallers for AISUITE3 and ArmouryCrate, after each uninstall, Revo will then scan for deletion of lingering registry entries and folders. Be sure to select all items and confirm deletion every time. Not sure if all the other side apps which ArmouryCrate and AISUITE3 installed need to be uninstalled the same way, but I did that too. Your call, please update the thread if something else worked for you.

Reboot the PC as prompted, and especially after done Revo Uninstalling.

Now run the ASUS uninstallers you downloaded and extracted earlier, right-click each one at a time, selecting "Run As Administrator", even while logged in as an administrator, rebooting after each one completes.

Delete any "ASUS*" folders found in *:\program files\ and *:\program files (x86). FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS BILL GATES DO NOT DELETE ALL OF "PROGRAM FILES" OR "PROGRAM FILES (x86)"

Note: chicken or egg, I can't remember if some files were locked because of running services, it was a holiday, I was drunk, I think that was my tip-off that services were not uninstalled properly after a normal uninstall and 2-3 special uninstallers. You may need to remove services first (next step) and then delete the above folders.

Run Windows Powershell as administrator, then copy, paste, and run each of the following lines which start with "remove-service":

remove-service -name asComSvc
remove-service -name AsusAppService
remove-service -name AsusCertService
remove-service -name ASUSLinkNear
remove-service -name ASUSLinkRemote
remove-service -name ASUSOptimization
remove-service -name ASUSProArtService
remove-service -name ASUSSoftwareManager
remove-service -name ASUSSwitch
remove-service -name ASUSSystemAnalysis
remove-service -name ASUSSystemDiagnosis
remove-service -name AsusUpdateCheck

STOP COPYING AND PASTING AFTER THE LAST REMOVE-SERVICE LINE HAS BEEN RUN, DON'T COPY OR PASTE THIS LINE EITHER. IF YOU CANNOT COPY AND PASTE IN POWERSHELL GOOGLE IT OR TYPE EACH LINE OUT MANUALLY. I ALREADY TYPED THIS IN SHOUT LOCK AND AM NOT RETYPING IT.
You may have more or less services because of your specific rig or software versions. Use:
get-service -displayname asus*
and then figure out how to make that a remove-service command. Or just go to start menu > Run > type Services.msc, press enter, then eyeball all the services for asus stuff. Just because the name contains ass* does not mean it's ASUS related. Do not remove anything containing ass* or you will never be able to use self-checkout again.

Launch Regedit.exe as an administrator and do a "find" (F3) for "ASUS" in the registry. Delete top-level keys named "ASUS" OR "ASUSTEK" and keep hitting F3 until you have deleted all of the ASUS and ASUSTek keys. Chicken or egg again but I don't recall a registry key ever being locked by a service before, and see notes about heavy drinking, getting backups, and this being at your own risk. If none of this makes sense to you and you have gotten this far, I suggest rethinking your choices in life because you should not be here without a backup and an inkling of what even launching regedit means, let alone deleting registry items.

REBOOT, cross yourself, take another shot, pray, sell your soul, whatever it takes, because if the fucking thing boots up after this you have a miracle worthy of indulging in sin and begging for absolution afterwards. Did you seriously take advice from reddit after the OEM didn't fix something for years or provide a KB? If so, you may be an experienced sysadmin and need to rethink your choices in life.

Run ArmouryCrate install as administrator, wait for completion reboot, reboot again to be sure.

Run AISUITE3 install as administrator, wait for completion, fucking ASIO.sys not found box pops up again, hit OK and let it finish.

https://i.redd.it/ek0fpu0tqdaa1.gif

It finished, I rebooted, everything was working fine, no ASIO.SYS errors since that reboot. All the tools worked great and were able to read the BIOS information / intel management components update worked. Most importantly RGB never failed throughout any of this and still worked after. If my blinking rainbow heaven did not work this would have been an RMA from day one. Unfortunately, the printer did not survive.

This had to be total bullshit, I did not believe it was finally working after not caring enough to fix it for a year. The 12 fans, RGB, and air filtration worked fine so why bother? Rebooted again, still working.

Shut down powered off, unplugged power cable, held the power button for 30 seconds, waited 30 minutes unplugged, plugged it in and booted up again. Still working.

Good luck.

2022.01.30 01:59 djdox23 Firmware update fail - GeForce RTX™ 3060 Ti GAMING OC PRO 8G (rev. 1.0)

Card is GV-N306TGAMINGOC PRO-8GD
Anything i can do ?!
I saw a rgb firmware update recently uploaded and since i experience some problems with the rgb (RGB Fusion 2 won't work well, neither does OpenRGB) i wanted to give it a try. Unblocked the .rar, extracted, followed the read me and run as admin. Error - erasing flash failed and a reboot window pops up. rebooted multiple times, also did a sleep and wake trick with no success. removed rgb fusion and other apps that might interfere with the gpu, still no go. Gpu gets detected on certain power ons of the computer but it also happens to not be detected - putting pc to sleep and waking it up makes the gpu show up in rgb fusion 2. Dont have any other computer to test it out but i'm pretty sure it is related to the gpu since there are a lot of people experiencing the same problems on all kind of 3000 series gpus. Is there any problem that i use the oc bios instead of the bios selected by default (it is a dual bios card oc/silent) Previously flashed the updated bios for resizable bar, respected all the steps and everything works. Kept trying the firmware update when gpu was showing up in the rgb fusion app but still no success.
Update file - F1.1 - 2022.01.17 - Improve the compatibility of RGB Fusion.
I have this error - Here - strange thing if you look closely it says updating to fw version 1.0 but might be a typo
Contacted support and followed the steps they told me to, still not working:
Please follow the steps below and try again later:
  1. Uninstall both AORUS ENGINE and RGB Fusion.
  2. Restart the computer.
  3. In Windows operating system, go to Start > type "regedit" > ctrl - F (search) and search for "GIGABYTE".
  4. Delete all keys that are linked to GIGABYTE, AORUS ENGINE and RGB Fusion.
  5. Click here and download the last version of AORUS ENGINE version 2.1.2 and RGB Fusion version B21.1210.1.
  6. Install AORUS ENGINE and when window prompted, do not install RGB Fusion.
  7. Please install RGB Fusion version B21.1210.1 that you downloaded from product download page.

Hi so after apparently spending "a bit too much time on the internet" my parents decided to block all games and youtube through the router. I figured the only way I can unblock it without using a vpn is by chnageing the mac address on my usb wifi adapter. The problem is, the network address property doesn't show up in control panel. I've tried using regedit but alas, nothing chnaged. PLEASE HELP ASAP.

2021.09.14 21:25 Captain_AdamBzh UPD stay locked even after user logoff - Win Server 2016

Hello everyone,

My company uses an RDS farm of 12 Windows Server 2016 servers spread over 2 RDS collections, a Broker server. The users' UPDs are stored on a storage server.

For several months now, we encounter a problem. Indeed, it happens that a user is unable to connect to his session. The user is in a temporary profile. He can't use his session correctly. At first, we delete the ".bak" of the user in regedit on the servers on which there are his files. Unfortunately, this is not enough to unblock the situation. When we scan the user's VHDX on Sidder, it appears as "locked" even though the user is not connected to any of the RDS servers. The only way to solve the problem temporarily is to restart the server that hosts the UPDs.

Do you have any idea about this problem? For my part, I think that a program prevents the session from being completely closed, which keeps the user's VHDX locked. Microsoft support has not found a solution yet.

If you have any ideas, I'm interested! If you need more information, post your message below.

Thanks in advance :)

2019.07.15 21:40 alphatango176 Auto-Allow Images for all Internal Users

I'd like to auto-allow images for all internal e-mail within a domain. I want the result of the below article:

...But without manually having everyone check the box. Is it possible maybe to use a GPO to push the internal domain to the Safe Senders list for all, then use a regedit or something for the checked box? Has anyone down something like this before?

2019.07.09 14:02 Ruiku1298 Downloaded files blocked in Windows 10

I recently installed Windows 10 in my computer and I'm facing an annoying problem. Apparently files I download from the internet are getting blocked. I didn't notice it before and I only found out when I tried opening a doc file I got from my email and I got an error. I open the file properties and at the bottom it says "This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer." I check my other downloads and they have the same message, regardless of file type (i.e. pdf, mp4, zip).
Searching online told me that I can edit a registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments
but it looks like I don't even have that registry key (what I have only goes up to \Policies). I don't want to blindly fumble around with regedit since I don't know what sort of damage it could possibly do.
I'd like to know if there's a way to prevent this automatic blocking because I don't want to have to manually unblock every doc file I get from my emails in the future.

2018.08.11 09:53 gamerh5 [Open] Undeletable file (0x0070570) resists multiple attempts. Got any bright ideas?

A 2 KB .log, the security tab states, paraphrase; ''the requested information is not available or can not be shown.'' It was generated by a safe game though modified with unsafe files, that's all I can really say 'cause they're watching us.
Attempted solutions:
*Using chkdsk via CMD with admin' priveleges, no errors detected.
*Analysis, defragmenting the disk. No change. Did not attempt to repair it due to an E.T.C. of 8 hours.
*Using Regedit to find and delete the file, scans does not find it.
*Using Unblocker failed, it does not detect the file as locked but states it can assist. Removal option required a restart but filed was not removed.
*Using Diskgenius failed, it removed one or two of the other files that were also (previously) undeletable but not this one. Repeated attempts failed.
*Using Bitdefender's File Shredder failed. When right-clicking the file it, simply, does not offer an option to shred it.
*Using Icacls failed, claims that the fail is damaged.
....
Specifications:
*Windows 8.1, verison 6.3, build 9600.
*Can not use safe-mode or repair, for reasons unrelated.
....
I don't mind trial-and-error alone but I'm on a schedule so any ideas?

2018.04.16 08:02 LockeTrufeld Internet security settings is preventing all .exe from running

I am posting in behalf of someone who is having this issue on her Windows 7 system.
The user's laptop computer was unexpectedly shut off when unplugging the power adapter, despite having a working battery. When the laptop was powered back on by battery, the user found that her programs and apps were failing to run with the following error message.
"Your internet security settings prevented one or more files from opening"
This applies to any and all .exe files, but with an odd exception. For example, the user cannot run Microsoft Word from launching it via the .exe file, but by opening an existing word document, she can run Microsoft Word. Likewise, she could not open her browser until she clicked one of the help icons found within Windows which opened up the help center on her default browser, FireFox.
Upon Googling this issue, most solutions seems to point to resetting the Internet Security settings, or changing the "launching applications and unsafe files" setting to disable within the security settings, but for some reason, the box with all the settings within the security settings window is empty; just a white box. Also checked whether if the application .exe was being blocked by security by going into Properties, but the Unblock option, nor any mention of being blocked was there. Also tried going into RegEdit to delete the registry key with her internet security settings in order to reset it to the default, but the same error message popped up preventing RegEdit from opening.
At this point, no solution seems to work from what I can find on Google. It is hard to pinpoint what the cause of the problem may be either. Any assistance would be appreciated.

2018.01.21 09:20 Pino6518 [J5] Problem with MicroSD

Hi guys So I'll try to be accurate and please be patient with me, I'm not so good with english. So i was moving apps to SD to free up space and even when the microSD have 14gb free space, it kept saying "Not enough storage" so I tried deleting the app and then reinstaling it but I removed the MicroSD by mistake when the app was being unninstalled and now it have 375mb that can't be deleted. I've search it up and came to realize that my phone have the microSD "WriteProtect!" (Contra escritura in spanish). I tried everything, running REGEDIT, change the switch on the adapter to unblocked, trying to format the SD won't work as well. Now I Can't even use the SD to move photos or music to it. Can any of you have a solution for this? Thanks in advance and have a good day Sorry for bad english

2017.12.03 03:32 Thrownawaypenislol12 Just one slit, just one leap, just one drop!

Depression... often misunderstood by many people, especially in heavily religious, ignorant and uneducated areas of the world. Luckily, I do live in a Scandinavian country myself, so none of the things that I just said are really a problem, or at least I haven't faced such problems yet.
Now that I think about it, I have; my parents are extremely religious, because they're immigrants (my dad's family immigrated here when he was 1 year old, and my mom immigrated here when she married my dad at a very, very young age, because well... that's just a more common thing in the Muslim world, or at least in my relatives' community). After having a lot of arguments with my parents when I became an Atheist (I was around 14 years, and 11 months old when I revealed it to them), I started to grow apart from the people I was once so close to. This might seem common for a teenager, but slowly after that I started to realize how few friends I had in real life, mainly because we had just moved back to said Scandinavian country, after moving to the Muslim country my parents were born in (although my dad grew up in said Scandinavian country, so he technically is a national of that country (though not ethnically), and to a certain degree he does call himself a bit of a national of that country, although he does identify more as a person from the Muslim country, even though he's only lived there for 2 years).
Family problems
We moved back to said Scandinavian country 2 years later, and I started to love life here a lot more. This was when I was 14, so I was starting to get a lot more skeptical about... everything. I wouldn't cover my ears whenever I heard someone else's opinion, and coming back to Scandinavia education system really made my brain flourish compared to the old me in the Muslim country. I started to question my existence, and other things, and while this might seem "normal" or "not that deep", later on, I made some big changes in my life, because of these small, and positive changes. After hearing about all of the controversies involving Jontron back in february or march of 2017, I found one channel that covered it that I kind of liked called Armoured Skeptic. I started watching more and more of his videos, and after watching a couple videos, I stumbled upon his Atheist videos. While at first, treading lightly in this new territory, I came to love him shutting down a bunch of "dumb Christians" with good points too. After a while, I found other Atheist and skeptic channels too, some of them being ex-Muslim. After listening to a lot of their arguments for months, I started to see all of the flaws in Islam, and how it wasn't a "flawless religion perfected, by a perfect other worldly intelligence that we couldn't even start to comprehend". After debating a lot of things in my head, like religion philosophically, how man-made it really is, why Islam couldn't be the perfect religion, and the flaws of all the big religions in general. I came to a conclusion after months of debate, research and general philosophy: there is no such intelligence, I was lied to, and forced to spend hundreds of hours in Mosques, learning how to read a language that I wasn't even taught. My conclusion is subjective, so I'm not saying you should become an Atheist, if religion gives you purpose, go with the flow, but I personally can't do something that I inertly believe as being false, and made up. Back in May (1 month before I turned 15) I came out to my parents, and knowing about their both exponentially pathetic, and outrageous views, I expected no sympathy, and absolute outrage from them! The result was just what I expected, and it almost feels like I knew my parents too well. Now, you might asked "why even come out to them in the first place, if you know about their views?". Well, this question would've plagued me, if I was sociopathic, you see, us humans just can't keep secrets from our closest relatives, we just feel a guilt, and we just want to tell them, and relieve ourselves from this guilt. The bigger the secret, the more we want to tell it, and it's a completely natural instinct, that we might actually sometimes have to stop, without scratching it, without telling the truth. Anyways, going back to the story, when I ended up telling my parents, they just tried to force me towards the religion even more, they thought it was just me being a rebellious teen, and not me having a different point of view, believing in different things! Them being some of the only people I used to talk to at the time, them distancing themselves from me, calling me Satan's best friend really hurt me. I still wanted their love, but I also wanted them to accept me for who I am: an Atheist! After they shoved Islam down my throat, I started seeing both the religion, and my parents as enemies. After they started to take away my rights, my freedoms, and my material goods that helped me get through the day, I started to rebel. I started hating them, and for the past few months, I've felt next to no empathy towards them, and I've developed quite a lot of bad behaviors ESPECIALLY towards them, that feel like actual rebellious behavior. I started to tell them of how much I drank alcohol, although hadn't actually drank any yet, and I told them I ate pork (which wasn't a lie, I even ate some in front of them). After my dad banned me from the internet, I REALLY got mad, my parents both thought that without me having access to the devil's websites, they'd be able to change me, but this was probably their BIGGEST mistake! Since I had no friends at the time (and I still don't have almost any), I cut all my ties to them, I felt COMPLETELY sociopathic towards them, and I liked it when they got hurt, I often made fun of my mom's headscarf for example, just to piss her off, and feel... kinda glad inside. I also remember saying "fuck Islam" and "Mohammed was a pedophile" to them a lot of times, but my dad would usually beat me up when I said that, and sometimes my mom would beat me with a rolling pin, or sandal. While them taking away my internet pissed me off a lot, I simply changed my laptop's MAC address, since that's the only thing my dad could block with his admin controls, although I thought of cracking the password of the admin tool via a brute force password cracker, after he made his laptop forget the password for the admin controller. I basically only went through one day of suffering without any internet, before I just changed my MAC address via regedit. You might think that my dad would discover this, but I definitely convinced him that I had no internet, and that I was suffering, after I kept begging him to unblock me, just so he wouldn't suspect anything. I knew that some day, I wouldn't have to keep begging, because he'd unblock me, maybe even accept me for who I am! After this going on for a few months, them beating me, abusing me, and all around almost pushing towards suicide, they finally revealed that they'd partially accept me for who I am (still partially to this day, because they're still embarrassed of me being the only Atheist in a VERY deeply Muslim family tree). Those are all of my family problems aside, now here are my current issues, the issues of having no friends:
Being alone Ever since we moved back to this country back in October, and since school started for me back in November, I've really had issues with making friends. Just one week after starting in the new school, I already felt like I didn't fit in, I didn't talk to anyone other than an outcast, and just one week later I was having beef with the 2 most popular kids in the class... great job, you couldn't have screwed it up more than that! After that, I obviously burned a LOT of bridges, and I MEAN a lot! Especially in a country that felt so familiar, yet foreign, in terms of everything, and mostly culture! After being alone for so long, I didn't feel like I needed to make friends, and for a while, I really didn't care all that much, I felt like I was better than everyone else, and that they didn't deserve a friend that was as brilliant and intelligent as me! Indeed, I wasn't dumb, but I both ridiculously overestimated my own intelligence, and used it as a way to boost my declining ego, after it hit rock bottom (for at the time). Unluckily, the week I started in the school was one week before a BIG project week, and we had to work on it a lot. I was left with the people that weren't in any other groups, and they were terrible at just about everything, although one of them was... decent enough I guess, if I gotta be honest, he was a really nice guy. So anyways, when we get the grades for the couple of weeks I was there, I was devastated, because I was so used to getting much, much higher grades, although the grades that I got were alright. That day, I just went home, and hid my grades from everyone, and just thought of how much of an idiot I was... How terrible I was towards everyone else (although this was mostly because of cultural differences, and me not having many friends, because we used to move a lot). I was just regretting my life, although I ended up not caring about the grades after a while. Then, the miserable excuse of a holiday ended, and school started again. After going to boring old school for a while, we got the grades for the project we did, and I genuinely expected something good. I look at it, and it's one of the worst grades in the class... (This was actually when I got into the beef with the popular kids, because I made fun of their presentation. Why did I do that? I don't fucking know, they were super nice to me, but I was just being a retard, and ruining my own reputation instead of making friends, JUST. TO. BOOST. MY. OWN. EGO!!!!!!). When I saw that grade, a FOUR, I died inside. The excuse of a guy with no life, was also getting bad grades now... what's next? How could anything go ANY worse?! Well first of all, having to go home without telling anyone my grade was really embarrassing, although I eventually got over that too. After being an outsider for a while, I just focus on the stress of school, and trying to become better. Well, in the end, I ended up improving a lot, if everyone in the class was supposed to be represented as a nation, I was like China, because I was both isolated, but also improving A LOT. So yadda, yadda, I start talking to the others a little, they start to forgive me (although my ruined reputation is probably unfixable), and the end of the year approaches. Well, in this time, we got a new guy in the class, someone whom we could call Ryan. Ryan was a Polish immigrant who didn't know our native language that well, so it was probably also going to be kind of hard for him to fit in. Well, first day we sit together, we start cracking jokes like we're best buds, I felt like I found a perfect friend! Then he started talking about how he had such a good gaming PC, and I was just amazed. I didn't know much about PCs back then, but I found it crazy that he had a WATERCOOLED PC! Now, although I do heavily wince at this today, this was still a good experience, we ended up connecting, and I was soon doing some research on different parts, what does what in a PC, until I ended up knowing so much that I know a lot more than my friend today, becoming a FULL ON enthusiast, and looking up different budget builds, and old build from a decade ago just as a hobby. Anyways, towards the end of the year, there was this guy who used to go in the same school as I do now, who still hangs out a lot with the people from my school, who wanted to hang out with me! I of course accepted his generous offer, but I was still strict with my time back then, because I didn't really enjoy going outside back then that much. After he invited me to have fun, I loved it outside, just really wanting to hang out with everyone. That's when I really started to FEEL my loneliness, because I realized how no one really wanted to hang out with me. This hit me hard, I started to not enjoy the things I did (my depression REALLY started to show). Then the summer holiday came, we got our grades for the end of the year, and while my grades weren't perfect, they really improved. The summer holiday was really just me missing school, because of how lonely I was. Think of it like this: I was home every day, with people whom I wanted to escape from! Those 6 weeks were absolutely horrible, but I did end up re-branding myself. I got a new hairstyle, which my dad nailed, because he was an ex-professional hairdresser (he ended up retiring early, because of medical complications). I also started losing some weight, so the summer holiday wasn't all THAT bad, I guess, although as I said, I was still really depressed. Then the next year rolls around, and while I did start to socialize a lot more with people, and becoming a lot less socially awkward, I still ended up feeling how much people didn't like me, I could feel the rejection in the air! I ended up adding everyone on Snapchat, and getting streaks with some people. I for some reason developed a crush on one girl during this time, and I probably really creeped her out on Snapchat, which I'm SOO embarrassed about, I'm not sure if she either loved me and was shy, or if she thought I was creepy. Either way, after I sent her something that definitely showed my attraction towards her, and her acting like she didn't see it, I just ended up giving up. I didn't feel like embarrassing myself further, and ruining my reputation, in a culture where bullying mostly doesn't exist, and where people are mostly accepting of anyone! After that, we went to a trip with the class to Poland, and we had a fun time there. I started to open up a lot more to my classmates, and they thought I was hilarious! I made them laugh a lot (not at me, but with me), and well... the trip was an all around fun trip. This was back in October, so after that, you might expect them to start liking me a lot more... right? Well, I still feel rejecting, I never get invited to anything, they only send me pictures of their parties where I'm one of the few people who weren't invited. Back in October, when we came back from Poland, first of all, I felt like my parents really missed me, and they were genuinely acting nice to me, but I was really being a dick. In school, I still wasn't part of my classmates' friend circle, and after going through a big identity crisis, considering suicide several times, my narcissism coming back to haunt me after I thought I had grown out of it months ago, I am where I am today. I probably still don't have the best answer to the rest of my life, but I certainly don't have a bad one. After I started thinking for a while, I thought that maybe people didn't resent me... maybe they just didn't think of me when arranging meet-ups and parties, although I still do feel half-resented at school (especially in recent times). You might tell me to fuck the rest of the class, and only stay friends with Ryan, but the thing with Ryan is that he doesn't like leaving his home, he likes gaming on his PC, often times, he's pretty lazy, he only ever cares about parties so he doesn't get left out. Honestly, I still talk to Ryan, and we're best friends, but I just want more friends than one guy who I only talk to at school or on my laptop. I want some people who I can go out and drink myself shitfaced with, to forget about life... to forget about all of these issues someone my age shouldn't have! I've thought of doing a Reddit meetup before, but I've never really gone through with it, plus I don't know about what redditors will think about some 15 year old who sounds like a prebubescent little boy. I have felt alone several times, and I've mostly cheered myself up with redditors befriending, and both helping me, and also themselves, because they also needed someone to talk to. Reddit has been there for me, because this community genuinely tries to FIX your problems, and you people are DAMN GOOD at it! Fine, there might be some retards amongst us, but there are also some geniuses! By the way, my relationship with my parents has been getting better, although I did go through a period of time where I didn't mind if they died, and sometimes even genuinely from the bottom of my heart wished that they'd die a painful death! I've even gone through times where I genuinely thought I was sociopathic! During all this time, I often considered suicide to be a good option, and only the friends I made through Reddit convinced me not to do it, and how "I'm a great person". I always felt like a piece of shit, and the real debate in my head was "just one slit, leap or drop?", "which poison should I pick?".
Anyways, I just had to write all of this, because I'm too scared to go to a therapist, I know that they might not bite, but I don't know, I just find Reddit to be A LOT more comforting! Also, I know that you might not have enough time to read all of this, but I spent 2,5 hours writing this (1AM-3:30AM), and I'd really appreciate it if you could read it all, and give me some legitimately good advice! I won't make you, if you don't want to, but power to you if you decide to read it all! This is like something more than therapy to me, this is some really personal shit that not even my best friend knows about! Also, Windows Update restarted my computer, and I thought I had lost this text, but I still ended up luckily recovering it. Good night, Reddit, I'm going to sleep now!
