Hello there, my name is Thomas.
I'm 17 years old. I go to Coventry High School. I get good grades, I try in all of my classes. I'm a bit of a nerd, and people don't really think highly of me, but I'm ok with that, because I'm myself. My family loves me, my friends are good and kind and we're a really tight-knit group. I think they're all awesome people, and I would stand by them forever. But, lately, I've become kind of worried. See, I got this girlfriend a few months ago, but things aren't going how I like them. I mean, I'm happy and she's happy and we're a good couple, and she's cute and I'm not ugly.... But there's something that hits me whenever I come to, and I realize I'm not quite myself...

Hello there, my name is Tom.
I'm 17, though I wish I were 18. Life'd be a little easier if it were. I'd be in college, I'd be away from all of this crap that I have to deal with all the time. I'd look different, act different think different, all of it. I'd be a better person if I just weren't here right now. My life sucks, my parents hate me, my friends hate me, and the one person I thought I could take solace in, I think hates me for what I am and what I like to do. I'm a geek, but I'm fine with it. Anyone has a problem? They can go screw.

Hello there, my name is Grey.
I'm not exactly Tom, nor am I Thomas. I'm somewhere in his mind, and I only seem to come out completely when he puts his hands to his keyboard. I guess you could say I'm a combination of the two. I've definitely got Tom's edge, for sure... But I think I can keep Thomas' good sense, too. Honestly, I gotta tell you, though... They're both pissing me off, lately. Thomas refuses to see the intense problems that are coming toward him, and Tom refuses to solve them. They're both idiots, arguing with each other constantly and trying to decide what's best for the whole being. Man... I wish I knew what to do. Either that, or I wish I could come out more often and kick some sense into the both of them.

What it comes down to is this: Neither of them are happy right now. Thomas is deluding himself into thinking he's happy, and Tom is just sitting and bitching, because he's too afraid of what could happen to stand up for himself, so he puts a shield of anger outward to mask his fear. I think it's an abandonment issue. But Thomas has no problems with that....

Dammit, what do I do?

Hmmm...I'm not sure exactly what you are asking.....
So, your saying you are a combination of both Thomas and Tom, right? Neither one dominates the other. They are always in conflict and neither one always wins the battle...

If thats the case, then what you probably need to do is think. What is making you feel uneasy? Is it your girlfriend, people around you, or is it you? Once you figure that out, then you can actually do something.

It almost sounds as if you are ashamed of your high school "status". Maybe you wish to be more popular or more recognized (as probably many of us do) and that graduating would change who you are or how people view you. Maybe it might boost your relationship..
I would agree, that high school naming thing would be gone, but to be honest, no matter where you go, you'll still be the same person. Having graduated you will begin to think differently than you did before, but thats really all that may change.

Anyway, what i'm trying to say is, whether your talking about your self, or whomever, you should try not to hide who you are because of how YOU think people view you. Your different, just like everyone else, with different interests and different goals. It is "Tom" that is preventing "Thomas" from seeing things clearly. And it is "Thomas" that prevents "Tom" from driving you insane. Personally, I think if you take away all your negative feelings, accept yourself, and embrace the people who love you, maybe Thomas and Tom won't have a reason to fight anymore.

Excuse me for my short response but to me it almost sounds like clinical depression. The only other possibility is not being popular is causing you problems.

Bleh, talked to you yesterday, you solved everything it sounds like. Live a little, if you aren't happy you have to do something about it. Drugs won't get rid of your problem, only make you ignore it. Blah blah, doubt you have depression. Really, its you, no one needs to say you're depressed, just back you up a little on some decisions here and there and I'm not sure if that is even needed.... You're a great guy, regardless of whether you're Tom, Thomas, or Grey.
