I only make about 260,000yen a month after taxes. Our current apartment is 90000yen/month. Share houses start around 40000yen a month… I don't have much savings. Maybe I could rent a room with someone but I feel that will be hard to arrange on the DL. Manga cafe is 3000yen/night on weekdays. Hotels are more.
i wish i had a friend. it hurts to see others have friends. even children do. even intellectually disabled people do. even so-called lonely people do. even bad people do. most people do. but i have no one and never have. it hurts so deeply that i can not being to explain it to someone who has had a friend before.
Is this selfish? I've been told I lack empathy so idk if I'm overreacting. I feel hurt and unappreciated.
Almost every night, my husband and I watch whatever youtube/streaming/tv my husband wants to watch. Altough he will sonetimes present options for me to choose from. At least 2 times a week we will spend 5-8 hours watching material only he is interested in.
In my free time, I'm watching his favorite anime series because he asked me to. I'm over 30 episodes in.
Last night he offered to watch my favorite series, which I have never pushed on him. I was so happy. He watched 4 episodes and complained it wasn't interesting yet.
>>120937 Do you enjoy watching the stuff he likes or are you just doing it to spend time with him? imo there's no point making him watch your stuff if he's just going to complain and be annoying the whole time, but you should also maybe stop being willing to constantly watch his crap all the time too if he's gonna act like this.
>>120940 I like about half of it, I guess. I'm willing to watch anything and I can usually find something I like about any piece of media. But he will put on a miniseries on ww2 and get mad when I doze off a few hours in.
neeting was fun but now I need to go out and get my hands on some cash and books. I get bored at home. I will earn money downscale then lollygag around the world. I'm hoping going out will give me a clear picture on the topic of being in a relationship. I love summer.
I wish we had super realistic CGI and we got rid of actorsAnonymous120914[Reply]
We could have different looking characters for all films.So, where the movie starts I'm not looking at "George Clooney" the whole time.
That is not real yet but I wish it was. I don't care to find out weirdass facts about celebs anymore but do anyway.I don't mind preexisting gay actors, etc. I am cool with it.
inauthentic people give many the creeps. If they are straight up about who they are, many people do not mind and will admire them for being cool.
I am not fond of "femme" gays, because stop…but regular types people are fine.
I like Dracula Untold and would have watched a series of those films. The lead actor was gay playing a family man. I don't care.
Conversely, Allen Cummins, which is an ironic fucked up name, grosses me out. He always acts like some kind of fucking pervert orgasming in his pants. He reminds me of a pedo who would rape someone in their sleep.
Years pass. They feed off themselves. Yesterday I looked up your recently published papers despite feeling, most of the time, indifferent towards you. New infatuations come and go. I stalk my crushes online. It feels like the natural thing to do. It's what I've always done. You once told me I'd make a good detective—if only you knew.
My new love doesn't share your name, but his is an anagram of yours. Here, where it is always dusk, all the shadows in my dreams could be your silhouette. I looked up a translation of Unica Zürn's alleged last poem before she committed suicide, but I couldn't find any. I’ll try to translate it myself. You wouldn’t like that, because you enjoy referring to authorities, even if you claim otherwise. I know this because I do the same.
As time separates us, I realize how similar we always were. Everything I despise about you, I have also found within myself. Words always come too late, and one of the last things you told me was that I was never coherent. I fall in love with strangers on the bus and in the library, and they all look the same. Even before you, they have always looked like you. All I needed was for my daydreams to have a name.
You were too real, which is why I could never have loved you beyond the mirror of my daydreams. I've been in love with someone else for a year. Could you believe that? They don’t love me back.
I could never be a good detective. I'm not trying too hard to be coherent these days and maybe it shows. I was young and tried too hard to exercise rigorous semiotics instead of facing the world. I don't think you were entirely wrong. I don't think you're a genius wasting away your talent anymore, either. I think you're just like me. Maybe you told me that once and I forgot. There's a lot of things we talked about. The insults and disagreements I try to forget.
Unica Zürn's last poem begins like this: All of this has existed before / others spoke about it.
you were an archetype i had to confront at some point and seeing your true colors was all the closure i really needed. im definitely changed i just wish i didnt do anything permanent for you like get a shitty tattoo of ur initial
are ya winning, son? how is that immaculate fortress of zero remorse treating you? i hope you’re good and settled down in there because there is nothing outside of those walls for you.
I've had a massive crush on you for years. Never done anything about it because I know you don't feel the same way about me. Also don't want to make things weird with our mutual friend, who I think you probably have a thing for. I don't know how to feel, I know nothing will ever come of me feeling this way towards you but I also don't know how to move on. I think I'll just always have this soft spot for you, even though we don't even see eachother often. I feel like such a fucking creep. But I also privately wish you knew how I felt and I could know how you feel about me.
So basically my boyfriend is kind and loving but his gradually began talking to me like shit more frequently and over silly things. I would not be worried but sometimes when we fight his began doing things like push me or i tried to leave his mums house once to cool off and he grabbed me by my hair and shoved my face onto his bed so i couldnt leave, but this is kind of an isolated incident. im not sure if it is going to begin happening more often because his begun hitting or throwing things when he gets angry. We got into a fight about a month ago and i said i wanted to break up not cuz i wanted to but cuz i felt it was the mature decision but he threatend to kill me. im not retarded and i know these are red flags in a way but do you guys think its just heat of the moment anger in like isolated incidents or should i be worried? he never use to be like this and his dad beat his mum growing up so i really dont expect behaviour like this from someone who grew up seeing that but idk because im scared in the future it wont just be hair pulling and threats and might become serious. when it comes to the way he talks to me he kind of is just apathetic and mean then will become super loving and misses me so i just feel confused. i feel like his turning into someone i dont recognise but i love him so much, more than anyone ive ever loved before. i will probably talk to him about this and mention him turning into kind of a shitty person when his mad so i can combat the issue before it gets bad but i just am posting this here to ask for opinions or advice because i feel a little lost.
>>120832 your boyfriend should naturally want to protect you and baby you and stuff and he's really far away from this. you say that sometimes he can be super loving so maybe when he's in a good mood, tell him how upset he's making you but be really sweet and nice and it'll probably really help to cry. maybe act needy? I think this could get him to stop but idk the guy. if he seriously doesn't stop soon then don't waste your time. don't let things get worse. you'll have to break up with him
one of my friends totally dropped meAnonymous120770[Reply]
as the title says, one of my friends texted me last friday, and decided that we couldn’t be friends anymore. he said that our friendship was “too intense” and he couldn’t handle it for his mental health. this came out of nowhere, and he hadn’t expressed discomfort any time in the past about our friendship and what we talked about. we’ve only known each other since november but we’ve gotten really close in that time, and tell each other about our mental health, personal, and family struggles. i’m not mad that he did this, if anything im glad he’s prioritizing his mental health. but, it just really fucking sucks that he just,,, decided we can’t be friends anymore. i don’t even know if this is permanent. from the way he spoke, i don’t think it is, but i have no clue when he’ll be stable enough for us to be friends again.
on one hand, he’s kind of right? like, our friendship was a bit mentally draining for the both of us. but on the other hand i really miss him. i miss talking to him from when i woke up to when i went to bed. i miss seeing funny videos and sending them to him. i miss talking to him about literally nothing and everything. i think it’s worse because he still like, looks at my ig stories. he doesn’t hate me, we just can’t be friends for the time being.
>>120797 >>120839 op here, i came to check on this thread because i was thinking about him (and feeling terrible) again, and this really made me laugh so thanks you guys <3
>>120911 meet someone who is equally as mentally ill as you, talk from literally when you wake up to when you go to bed, develop complicated feelings for him, "confess" but make it clear that you're not sure if you actually like him (or men at all), tell each other your worst secrets, profit
>no close relationships Just with my father and some friends, I only see most people as acquaintances and have no desire to know them better. >alone I love it, if I could, would even have meals alone. >no interest in sex I masturbate and enjoy reading literotica, but have no desire to have sex. Would enjoy to have a relationship but 99,9% of men aren't asexuals. >emotionally flat I have more reactions while interacting with people my age, so I doubt they think I look aloof, but feel that I look aloof around my stepmother and her family. >rarely feels happiness I do feel it, but eating something I like results in the same happiness as travelling to a new area/city. >no one to trust I have some people, but I'm keeping 70% of things to myself only >indifferent to praise I'm indifferent to praise from people I know, but enjoy when it's from acquaintances or strangers.
I don't think I fit the criteria, and also don't relate to many posts by schizoids in the Schizoid subreddit.
I check every single box, unfortunately. I don't want to believe it, so I'm not a schizoid. Not until I get an official diagnosis. Is there really no cure for this? My late brother was an actual schizo/bipolar. Could be genetic :/
Wish I could just… create. I’m so tired.Anonymous120902[Reply]
I’m so burnt out and miserable in my life, I try to use writing to escape but I can’t. I want to make a comic more than anything but once I plot out everything and have the script ready and I just have to draw it out all motivation is just… gone. Same with all the other creative projects in my life, I lose all drive to do them and it’s so goddamn frustrating , and I end up abandoning them.
I’ve vastly decreased my social media usage and have been getting decent enough sleep, and I’m an okay artist, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong!
I don’t want to be one of those failure artists that just go on social media to joke about how they never actually get anything done, and just talk about their story and never have any real project.
Smfh.
Does anybody know how to get out of this? It’s “first world problems” I know, but I really don’t want the shame and embarrassment hanging over my head years from now.
>>120902 This is how I am with my writing. Sometimes you just don't have the inspiration or motivation. Let me know if you find a way to get it back nona
>>120902 You just have to start. Tell yourself you're only going to do a simple sketch, and momentum will carry you. It's like when I don't want to clean. I tell myself I'm just going to dust a bit of one room, then it's all the rooms, then the house is basically done.
