I feel so utterly alone. Absolutely no-one to talk to. It hurts so badly how much my bf doesn't give a shit how I'm feeling.
I know ´it kills the love´, as you put it, my being so sad so often. But I can't help it. I know how tired you are of my depression, how if I don't get better soon, you'll leave me. But I can't help it. God, I'm trying.

My long-time best friend ghosted me a while ago. I probably deserved it because I'm an autistic retard with poor boundaries. I tried to be a good friend, but I could only talk about my obsessions and never "deeper" subjects. Since she ghosted me I've come to the conclusion that my friends were probably nice to me out of pity. I saw her at the store and when I tried to wave she hid. Took the message and finally deleted her number. I miss her so much. I miss having friends. I'll always mourn how our friendship. When I told my sister about seeing my friend at the store she called her a bitch. She isn't a bitch I'm just a difficult person to deal with for a decade. My sister decided to bring my friend up in a conversation with my mom and grandma, and even though I tried to change the topic nobody listened. My sister is always doing this and I know if I try to do the same thing to her shell get violent like the crackwhore she is. My mom acted like I was the bad guy for being upset. She always takes her side. Sometimes I hate them so much. I hope my mom and sister know that once I get enough money to move out I won't call either of them unless they call me first. My mom would probably be the only one to care though. I feel so pathetic. I wish I could just die and get reincarnated as a shrub or something.

>>100251Currently in the same boat regarding my "best friend" ghosting me. Your sister's right, that person is a bitch. Your sister probably brought it up with your mum because she cares about you, but she has a poor way of demonstrating her love.
Your friends were probably nice to you at first because they
did like you, but much like many friend groups, some little mantis weaved their way in and drove a wedge between you and the group. I can understand why they'd remove me - I'm smart enough to notice their bullshit, but not smart enough to convince my friends they're being manipulated. It sucks. I want friends, but what good is it if they're easily persuaded into ditching me by some outsider. I hate her so much, she wriggled into my group and pitted them completely against me. Any little hint of originality I had, she would attack; when I didn't care, it made her strike harder. It was a choice of conforming to her world view, or being booted by the mindless sheep I thought were my friends. The best revenge is to get over them and find success elsewhere in life; I am currently forming better relationships with my colleagues and working more on my writing. That bitch is going to drive them further into her materialistic fantasy, and if they ever get sick of it and come back to me they'll be told to fuck off. Write those people off; they're worthless.
I doubt you're pathetic, nona. I'd be your friend, but judging by the way you spell 'mum' I know we're leagues apart. Try love your sister. I don't have one, but it sounds like she loves you and would be a shoulder to cry on if you ever needed it.

I'm very aware that the way I treat my mother now is the same way she'd treated me when I was younger. I try to tone that shit down because all it spells is that I'm destined to be an anal, overbearing mother to my kids if I ever have kids, and a terrible, unemphatic caretaker to her in her older age. The way she treats her mother is the same, given that grandma has dementia and my mom can't fathom in her head that the shit grandma spouts now shouldn't be taken seriously (venomous though it may be). And she still without fail gets frustrated when Grandma is unresponsible, incorrigible, generally not lucid. The woman is 82, depressed and half her brain is gone. Where do you get off expecting her to converse on the level she did when she was at full prowess. I have learned to tune her out. Sometimes she'd ask the same question in the span of 3 minutes, 40 fucking times. My mom has this groundhog's day scenario where she gets into the same arguments with grandma, on fucking loop. "I told you not to spit on the floor."[insert old woman woe is me routine here–escalate insults–add my mom getting agitated for no reason]. Makes me wonder if MY mom has dementia. Good God.
Aging is fucking cruel.

I don't think it's hatred. I think the negative obsession stems from a manufactured need for hierarchy. Maybe I just have this view because I'm currently reading Bookchin, but it seems to make sense.
The domination of human by human is a social phenomenon; their desire to control a friend group stems from fear of scarcity. When I push back against the manipulation, there is a fear response activated because I'm threatening their power. There is probably some sense of insecurity in it too, but for the most part it arises because we live in a world that perpetually reinforces the notion of human labor as a means to an end. People are resources in the economic and political world, so it's not hard to see how this idea unfortunately extends into friend groups, and eventually families. We forget that other humans have their own inspirations and desires, we impose our criteria on someone else, and when they don't fit it, we freak out. The alternative I try and practice is to be more open to novel experiences - so long as the person's actions isn't having an objective adverse effect on me or others, I tend to accept it as that person's idiosyncrasies.
It's easy to blame the internet for performing the seemingly contradictory task of isolating everyone whilst also making them all the same, but this existed before the internet with TV, and it existed before TV with radio, and before radio with the printing press. Somewhere throughout the course of human history, patriarchs and elites attributed shame with creativity. All people are creative, but most have it whipped out of them by the time they're adults. The few creatives who exist today were lucky enough to have strength enough to overcome the unnatural shame/guilt that is felt with expressing yourself truly. Just look at the nona I originally responded to - she feels shame and guilt for only talking about her obsessions. A more open societal structure would listen to what she has to say, and in turn she would likely be more open to hear other people talk about their obsessions.
I kinda went off on a tangent, but the tl;dr is that we impose bogus hierarchical structures that are threatened by individuality.

Now I miss him so much and feel like I’ve overreacted at every argument. I feel like FDS/pinkpill has made me into this argumentative bitch who has to get offended by everything when I should’ve just been the bigger person and learn to accept imperfection and not be so dramatic. He definitely did not help because he would make me cry, apologise, and then reignite the argument as soon as I’ve recovered even when I said I want to move past it. I guess we’re both immature, but I guess I miss feeling loved and having someone to talk to. If he texts me back asking to get back together I 100% would even though I know this will be a never ending cycle.

>>100276I'm sorry you had to end something you invested time and energy into cultivating. However, consider the following: the fastest way to get over someone is finding someone else to fill their role. If you start missing him so much that it feels like a void in your heart is trying to envelop you, start talking to other men (even online if you like texting). Not only will it distract you for the time being, but it will also help you move on quicker - since you'll see just how interchangeable men are. Not even man-hating, that's just how they are.
> If he texts me back asking to get back together I 100% would even though I know this will be a never ending cycle.If he crawls back, don't give into him, nona. He has to show you that he has changed and fully understands why you cut things off. I gave one guy a second chance and I eventually had to leave him, except the second time it was much, much worse (like full on mental breakdown in the bathroom), so be more mindful of your own peace.

It's not that serious I assume but it's serious to me
I saw a video about someone uncovering a discord server full of sad little edgy kids who promote stuff like self harm, ED, drugs etc (the drugs part is funny because apparently a member said that they smoke tea to get high which I doubt but ight
and it's just really upsetting to me that there is little kids on discord following the path I went through because I was around disgusting enablers and terrible people all around online who supported me with all of those terrible habits.
and it's even more upsetting that they will probably end up like me, they will mature and they will realize later on how much they fucked up and regret anything.
I feel so bad that I can't help them, seeing people going through the process of my trauma hurts so much but it's a lost cause, I will never be able to help them because they convinced themselves that it's right and they receive the attention they are so desperate for from other people that suffer as much as they do, I've been there and that's what hurts the most, maybe I'm thinking too deep into it but it hurts to know that there is some disgusting adult up there getting a kick out of little kids hurting themselves for a bit of praise and attention, it's always like that.
I wish the world wasn't so cruel, those kids didn't deserve that fate of cutting names on their wrists and starving themselves for a bit of attention from other mentally ill kids who do the same and from nasty adults nobody does. It just really upset me to see that this stuff still happens and kids are still falling victim to the pipeline.

Just attended my sister’s high school graduation this weekend. I never attended college. Seeing all of those fresh faces graduating made me feel like shit. I’ve been out of school for 3 years now in what was supposed to be a 1 year gap year. All of my friends from high school who went off to college are graduating next year. We can’t even relate anymore. I’ve never felt more like a bum.

I am constantly being asked, "You're so pretty, why are you so insecure?"
However, I have never received any evidence as to why I should not feel unattractive and insecure. The only evidence that I have ever received is compliments on my appearance.
I am 23 years old. I have never been asked out on a date. I have never received a gift from a love interest or significant other. I have never been pursued romantically. I have never been with someone who wanted to celebrate anniversaries. I have never had anyone confess their love to me. I have always had to be the one to initiate, to plan, to seek out. If I didn't make plans for a day out or celebration, they weren't happening. I have never had anyone demonstrate that they are proud of me, showing me off to their friends and parading me around like a prize. I have never had anyone want to go public about their relationship with me because my autistic traits and mental health (severe social anxiety) rendered me an embarrassment and a social liability to them. Therefore, I have always been "the secret"–something to be kept hidden away from the public eye.
Nobody has ever shown me that they even care that I am around or that they are afraid of losing me. I have never had anyone beg for a second chance from me or beg me to stay. I have only ever had people show me evidence of the fact that I am this burden that they need to shoulder, but cannot "get rid" of by situating themselves with a better arrangement. They become frustrated when they feel that they cannot get rid of me. Whenever I receive advice from others to make people afraid of losing me, I know that it will inevitably backfire, because people welcome the loss of me. Whenever I say, "I am leaving," people don't say, "Please don't go." Instead, they say, "There's the door."
I don't know how I could ever possibly value myself if all of the evidence that I have received from others throughout the entirety of my life points to the fact that I am a low-value individual. I often wonder why I am not worthy of all of these things that other girls seem to be able to obtain effortlessly. All of the evidence points to the fact that I am not worthy of the effort: I am not neurotypical enough, not functional enough, not mature enough, not capable enough, not interesting enough, not sexy enough, not stable enough, not stimulating enough, not loveable enough.
Goddamn it, I just want to feel worthy.

She talked about how she's "so ready to leave that version of her behind" but her family, her "friends" and her boyfriend's family have all been trying to get her to do things that could get her in trouble again and guilt tripping her when she tells them "no". I've been telling her she owes those people nothing but her reception has been mixed. She doesn't contest that these people are worthless one moment but then she'll talk about how she feels awful. She's not allowed to have direct contact with her boyfriend, so he will bark orders at her using all of those previously mentioned people as a proxy.
Last night she asked me to give her a ride to the Gummo-land neighborhood she's originally from, and I told her "fuck no". She "just needs to go back there to set the record straight" which I assumed meant, get talked into trouble by those mongoloids.
But the most infuriating part about this is her fucking boyfriend. A trashy, obese, braindead wigger who's the whole reason she went to prison to begin with. He's doing 60 months for the same charges plus other shit she had nothing to do with. This loser never appreciated her before and still expects her to do what she's told even though she's supposed to have no contact. And of course
>"I still have feelings for him"
I just want to shake her head and scream "BITCH YOU ARE THE HOTTEST 24 YEAR OLD ON THE PLANET, JUST GO UP TO ANY GUY YOU WANT AND SAY 'WE FUCKIN' AND HE'LL COMPLY, FORGET THIS RETARDED FAGGOT EVEN EXISTS ALREADY." (Tbf, the terms of her probation do make it harder to meet men, but still)
I'm trying to keep her in my friend circles and I'm more than ready to kick her out of my life if she screws things up for herself but it's still just so hard to watch somebody potentially throw it away when she's so close to a decent life.

I keep not replying to messages for weeks. I love being alone but I always feel guilty for leaving my friends hanging. One of my friends is very sweet and lovely but she is sending me too many messages and I'm overwhelmed. I never had friends growing up I don't understand why everyone wants me all of a sudden but I'm not emotionally equipped for this. All I ever wanted was friends and now I don't know what to do with them. I've become callous and anti social. If I can't be a good friend or daughter could I ever be a decent mother or at least better than mine? When I was growing up I could go weeks without touch or talking and I always thought if I was lucky enough to make friends I would never let them go. Is this what self distruction looks like? I need to master the art of small talk and not opening up or saying how I really feel and I think I would feel safer. I'm embarrassed I keep acting like this like wtf girl get it together. I need to change my ways before my friends and family give up on me and the pressure is immense. Honestly why does anyone bother with me?

It's like: "I don't want to be ghosted, I need to ghost first! That way I don't lose the competition!". What the fuck is this absolute batshit insane game of chicken going on? It's not just casual relationships that act like this, it's so much stuff where people are just increasingly scared of talking to people for more than a week because "ermmm they might stop talking to me, so therefore I have to stop talking to them first!". There aren't winners and losers in relationships, big fucking whoop if someone stops talking to you.
Sorry again I don't mean to offend; your mindset just gets me heated.

Free advice for anyone who cares.
No matter how shit life throws your way, no matter how financially untenable your situation gets (downsized, evicted, whatever), do NOT move back in with an overbearing helicopter parent. They’ll smother you with love and care. You’ll regress to an infant state. Whatever strides you may have once achieved in managing adulting will be shat down the drain. You’ll be treated like you’re 4 and eventually you will FEEL fucking 4

honestly sometimes i wish i had a stalker
i know im romanticizing it but i wish i was pretty enough and desirable enough for one.
Anonymous 100748
>>10074796% of the time people with a stalker dont know they have a stalker. You dont have to be pretty or social, I've met a lot of girls who had stalkers. A lot of those times it wasn't someone they knew. You just need bad luck to cross paths with an mentally ill man(sometimes woman.)
A stalker falls in love with the idea of the person and not actually the person.

>>100201i don't know how to handle a guy i met online. i'm pretty sure he wants to leave because he refuses to offer me basic boundaries in a relationship. whenever i ask him what we are or talk about an argument we have, he just completely ignores me. we met on a shared server that some of his friends frequent, although i was an active member of the community long beforehand
if i'm being honest i think what's happening is knowing it will be awkward in the community we shared if he just tells me he wants to leave. i'm really attached to the community and have obsessive tendencies with checking up on it daily ever since about a year ago when i went through some romantic shit. i don't know what the fuck to do and i just wanna solve these feelings because it's starting to drain me.

>>100755>>100757>>100759One of my biggest mistakes was getting deeply involved in online communities. It doesn't provide the same satisfaction as talking to people irl, even if those real people seem 'less interesting'. The distance complicates things, you get hurt and learn not to get too invested in words on a screen. Plus, with the way AI is going, there'll soon be no way of telling who is real. I guess my advice is to not treat the online world so seriously. It's great for sharing ideas, but the best relationships are formed with people you can see, hear, and touch.

I really hate the essential oil grift and can't believe people STILL fall for it. Its one thing if you use it to make your house smell nice, but that's about as useful they are going to be for you. The dumbass claims that it's jesus in a bottle and going to cure all your ailments is so stupid. And dont even get me started on the people who say to use it for skincare.

Obviously that scared the shit out of me but I still think back on it and feel lowkey flattered.
The reason I mention this that if you want to get stalked you should try interacting with the sorts of men mentally ill enough to do so (think the sort of guy who looks for free cat food on a bartering website).

Men typically don't outright dump women or be forthcoming with their lack of interest, because they like the attention and like having a backup. If he's capable of putting you through the silent treatment without feeling anxiety himself, he's just not that into you (and I know many hideously ugly and unaccomplished men who have done this to much more attractive, smarter, more educated, richer women, so don't take it personally).

this was like 40 lbs ago but i remember when i got admitted to the psych ward and the on-site physician was just checking me for any physical illnesses and she tells me "your weight is quite high" which fucking stung bc i had already lost 20 lbs at that point. i just feel so defeated bc even if i lost a lot, it doesn't feel like enough.

just don't give his potential issues with

take back control, be a dick sometimes, be nice others, but be mostly an exciting sphynx. act in an unpredictable way, drive him insane, some emotional abuse is fine. but dont let him win, dont show you're affected, ever.

An online friend of mine has the habit of disappearing for weeks or even months, but I always had good and memorable conversations with them which have been unfortunately wiped away several times due to their very frequent account deletions. Turns out that in the past few months I have been cut out of their lives and active accounts just like they did with almost everyone else, and I feel like absolute shit. I don't know what I did wrong and I feel worse for demanding an explanation, because I know they don't owe me that. It feels like our friendship meant absolutely nothing while I've been worried about them on a daily basis. I understand that care and love are to be given without expecting a reward, but I have thrown all my consideration down a bottomless well. Coming from a past of being constantly rejected by everyone, I just want to know what makes me so abandonable. I didn't expect that at all, and I just feel confused and hurt. I should just forget about it and move on.

I'm worried I am graduating into a bad job market and yet that I will also be too unemployable to find a job in my field regardless. I took a semester to go abroad but it has nothing to do with my major, nor have I done a single personal project to keep my skills up. I did do an internship but turned down the return offer just so that I could go abroad, thus meaning I have to job search now all over again. But what if I can't find anything before I graduate, this time? I took the risk knowing it full well, but the thought of having to go back to a fast food job or something, or moving back in with my horribly toxic family, just for survival fills me with unending dread. For A CS grad, is there any actual non-shitty jobs one can live off of until they actually get their foot in the door?
I should mention I did do a little bit of job searching before I left for abroad, and some places seemed to like me, but they all told me they are looking for an immediate hire and that I have applied too early (As I am graduating in December). Hopefully they will still consider me.

I feel so empty, sisters. The older I get, the more I'm remembering from my childhood/teenage years and it's fucking me up to finally see things that have puzzled me for so long suddenly make sense. I've never been able to enjoy things like reading, playing video games, or talking to people, and the fucked up part is that I wasn't abused as a kid. I was just awkward, autistic, and too boyish to fit in, which caused everyone in elementary and middle school to tease me and not want to be my friend.
I had a private teacher in high school who constantly made fun of my interests (like laughing when I told him what I want the topic of my next lesson to be or making fun of everything I ever brought up) and that killed any desire I had in trying to pursue being creative. I've really been into a gacha mobile game for about two years now and as much as I love it, I just can't get myself to write or draw anything for it. I obviously don't have the ability or talent for either, but there's a ship I really REALLY like and I loathe that I can't get the creativity or the energy to do anything for them. I even picked up nip again just so I could consume more fan content, but reading fanfics is boring and takes too much of my energy.
I have no desire to do anything when I'm not busy, whether that's socialising (I literally have no IRL friends at this point), playing vidya/reading a book/watching something (it becomes a task instead of something enjoyable like 15 minutes in), or trying to better my skills/doing sport.
I got over my ED, stopped cutting myself, am eating healthy and at a good but still low weight, I leave my room often and spend time in the sunlight, stopped smoking, I'm doing excellently in terms of academics, etc. It just doesn't stop. Once you kill every part of you that wants something and can feel things, it doesn't get better. It sure hurts less, but I wonder if I can even call whatever I'm doing living when it's just

I'm so sensitive. Sometimes genuinely small, insignificant things can result in me feeling hurt or down in the dumps for no meaningful reason. Things that most people have already forgotten that for whatever reason I keep dwelling on.
This only really happens when I think I've been dumb or have done something that's met with crickets in my friend group. Again, things that are virtually forgotten by everyone ten minutes after it happened. How can I stop sweating the little things and grow a thicker skin? This stuff probably stems from my low self esteem and the fact that I have no life so my perspective is messed up.

>>100951From what I've heard of friends, at least where I live, is that CS grads will always have job options in their field. The downside is that a lot of the companies have very few senior staff, which means you're kinda thrown into the deep end and expected to work hours outside of what you've been contracted, which can make the work stressful. With that said, once you have one or two years under your belt and a better understanding of the industry, you'll be able to negotiate better standards/pay or otherwise just jump ship into a better company.

i wish more people in the real world were just genuinely compassionate and empathetic and helpful towards kids when they have the chance. it helps knowing someone has your back and wouldn't it be awesome if that adult wasn't a degenerate! there's only so much some ssri, threat of telling everyone about their shit, and a mindfulness video actually helps kids and teens in shit situations they cant choose to be in. if more normalfags had their heads out of their noise blocking asses i feel like less kids would be inclined to go into these places run by junkie pedo trannies or incels.
maybe im wrong i dont know this got more personal than expected i think im just mad at how dismissive everyone was throughout my life. you go to people who are there to help maybe not by your choice even but its not their problem not their problem not their problem theyre just there for the paycheck maybe the ego boost or badge to boast to their friends/online about how stupid kids of yesterday or today was. i dont trust people in places of authority when they display "concern". now im older it doesnt matter who cares ill fix it myself right but these kids deserve better than being ignored or putting themselves in danger for acknowledgement of their pain and some goddamn community.

I've recently come to terms in life that most of the men I've let in have sexually abused me somehow. They've always been much older than I, daddy issues and low self-esteem on my part, I don't even want to know what it is on their part, etc. I have extreme sexual trauma from childhood that I haven't begun to learn to cope with. I haven't been to therapy about it, I guess I'm afraid of what will come up if I do and paying someone to unearth my memories feels like a game I can't win. I try not to hate my family on a regular basis, I don't hate them, really, I just want to be away from them and at best keep minimal contact with them if possible. I don't blame my younger siblings for anything but I'm sure they have unspoken words on dealing with my their older sister's mental problems. I wish I could've done better for them, because I feel they feel as directionless as I do but they seem to cope better because their trauma from our mother wasn't as visceral, although I can't deny that they definitely experience much unsaid trauma due to her gambling addiction and our family being the black sheep/scapegoat. I can't forgive my older brother, though I see he tries to make amends, I can't let go of the feeling that he let me be abused by his friend. Same with my mother, never leaving my father and letting his drug addled ways get the better of him. She forgives too easily and I just can't and don't want to. Either way, I want to do better by my younger brother and sister, especially my sister, I feel she has the most innocence of soul left in her and she is raising her own baby, and I don't see the father being involved much in the future. I'll most likely live a longer life with them then my mother, who I worry will die of a heart attack or stroke if she doesn't slow down her workaholic ways. She is attempting to quit gambling, much like I need to quit drinking to cope, but for me, bad as it is, being drunk is the only way I can honestly express myself. I don't want it to be that way but it's the only way all that bottled anger and sadness comes to surface and I can understand what I have to do to improve my life. I want to cut off all contact with ex-boyfriends, a current boyfriend, etc. I feel like talking with them makes me insane. I hate that I let it get this bad, but I feel like I've always been coerced to care when I really don't at all. I don't care for these men, they suck the life out of me and make me feel bad for not wanting to show affection, talk to them, etc. It's not my fault they are lonely life failures. More often then not they had ample opportunity to fix their lives with not nearly the same level of traumatic experiences I have to work through to live. I have tried to kill myself several times, maybe not failproof methods but I do feel like the one time I did, a miraculous intervention happened. I'm meant to work through my traumas and survive. I know I'd ruin the lives of my sister/brother and my mother, and the only person I could truly rely on, my grandma, who has since died, would be really sad if I gave up so easily. To me, suicide takes a lot of gull and courage at least in the heart to know it's the right decision. I do believe we're only granted one life on this plane and it's better to try to survive then to not, as hard as it is, but I won't do it because I know that I would traumatize my family, and they don't need anymore of that.

You call it BPD, i call it being clinically depressed with the minimum pattern recognition skills to gauge through the sly insidiousness of human behavior.
Im so fucking disgusted with myself. I bared my soul to this moid. I exposed my insecurities in a fit of thoughtless vulnerability. I said things about myself that i should have never verbalized. Not rven to my own ears. Mostly about my own insecurities. My lowly estimation of my accomplishments compared to others’. I know of course how rigid and uncompromising this view is. Just fodder to fuel my own misery. But i confessed to this moid. And probably others too. I do these things and then i promptly forget. I can’t remember. I must have brain damage.
My gut. I was always repulsed when i spoke to him. In my rare moments of candor with myself, i concluded that thr best thing i liked about him was that he liked me. And that was it. But then we’d speak. He’ll keep bragging about how much he earns, the girls that chase him. I laugh trying to mask the outpour of disgust. And then k think again, what tact, by what principle would someone brag and brag and self prune in front of someone else? Unless they were utterly convinced of their own superiority. Of their own unassailable veneer. And consequently, of the lowliness of my own character. I have no one to blame but myself. I have abased myself by venting. I was told, i was taught, never to do that thing. Never to unearth insecurities. It’s the finest print on any social interaction. People will know regardless. They’ll size you up. And it’s an evolutionary imperative to rank themselves higher. It’s what they owe themselves. Self reflection is not a virtue. This moid, there are a million reasons why he, if he approached his selfhood similarly to how i approach mine, has a million reasons for why he should be crippled with insecurity. Based of course on what he’d confided on me. But again he’s no sucker.
Fucking shit, stupid cunt. The world is already geared to tearing women down. Why tear yourself down IDIOT. WHY? For WHAT FUCKING PURPOSE. NO ONE WILL TOOT YOUR HORN IF YOU DONT TOOT IT YOURSELF,

why can’t I make friends with girls? my hobbies are very female dominated (dance), I see the same girls regularly, try making conversation with them and very rarely does it go anywhere other than pleasantries, but they all seem to be friends with each other. I thought people outgrew cliquey crap in university but apparently not. I look normie enough… what is it about me. I know people find me annoying but I don’t know exactly why, I don’t try to be.

Feels like it’s impossible to just find a few girls to go for drinks with in your 20s. All these girls do hang out together outside of dance and I never get invited, which I know is pathetic to feel shit about but I work entirely from home so it’s not like I can make work friends either

I'm sick of my mom sending people after me to check on me just because I don't call her for two days straight. I'm 25 years old. She's already gotten two different former roommates involved (I don't even know how she got their numbers. I guess she must have called the front office of my building and gotten it from the people there.) and now just involved my current dorm manager and several other people he works with. She's threatened to call the cops on me several times before, for not picking up the phone on her for two days. When I choose not to talk to her, it only brings stress in my life and more people that won't leave me alone.

I still remember bits and pieces of it because it was the kind of man talk I've only ever seen on the internet. The internet that you believe to be filled with "non normal people" only. Too bad I didn't record any of it but they were sitting too far away from me anyway. This is what I still remember:

Before you let your mind badmouth itself any longer, you have to accept that you just can't meaningfully participate in a society that, by nature, stifles and limits your creativity. Giving up on everything you want to do is only going to worsen the problem, as hard as it is to stop yourself. Just think about how many talented and hardworking people there are that had their dreams crushed a thousand times before they realized that trying to please everyone is the worst way to go about their passions and interests. They had to let go of other people's judgments and do what they needed to do for themselves. When you are able to solidify this kind of thinking into your mind, you will be able to make that book/album/painting/game/ANYTHING you've dreamt about making since you were a kid. You have to take the initiative and find healthy ways to put yourself in that sort of environment and have people to fall back on when it all feels becomes too much.

about to describe some completely mentally ill and unhinged behavior, i am aware that i am crazy and shouldn't have behaved this way but i did and it happened and i am going to vent about it:
i've had a rough start of the year in general, there's been death and other stuff going on but i had a complete breakdown at work as a result of my coworkers and boss and some of the customers we work for bullying me on top of everything else. my boss and coworkers would constantly insult other workers too in my precense, and they would gossip about me and badmouth me when i was in the next room and they were aware of it, like i walk past them through the door and my boss and coworkers would start talking about me. i don't know if they thought i couldn't hear them or if they just didn't give a damn. my boss would talk to me like i was a complete idiot, it's like she has some sort of imaginary version of me in her head she talks to instead of me, because she would never listen to what i was actually about to say and start ranting at me about things i never did or said or never were about to say and i made myself insane wondering what the fuck is she talking about. she would give me instructions how to do my work, i would follow them, then she would complain i did things wrong and i would do my job differently, she complains again i never understand what exacty she actually wants. she seems to be really distrusful of me for some reason, even though my other bosses and customers always liked me and told me i was a good worker. i used to work at different destinations before this place, but in one previous place one customer thanked my current boss for hiring such a good employer, she was so pleased with my work. so i don't get where this all comes from, why she seems to act as if i am lazy or something.
the customers too would talk about me while i was present, as if i wasn't there. it's been going on months but i one day i lost it and slit my wrist/arm during a shift.
i'm not going to go into detail but it was bad, i was really close from getting real actual permanent injury and had to get 23 surgical staples.
i had to go to hospital, my boss calls me and basically tells me i am just insane and no one has bullied me or insulted me and i just have been imagining things. i would understand if she was actually worried about my mental health and acted differently during the call, but she was basically threatening me not to take any action about it especially when it comes to the customers. i actually started to think i have had some psychotic breakdown and all the insults i heard was just me hearing voices, but it doesn't really make sense because the boss and my coworkers would insult and gossip about basically everyone, so i donät understand how exactly i would be the only exception to that, and one previous worker did basically rage quit the job.
i am just angry that i did this to myself, i am anxious because now i just seem more insane and weird at work, i am angry at them, i don't understand how evil and cruel people can be. like i don't expect anyone at work to pity me for being unhinged and self harming at work, it's my own damn fault i did it, but my boss did know about stuff happening in my personal life like that someone died and other stuff and yet she for whatever reason kep t insulting me like give me a fucking break, will you? did they think i am just fun little puppet they can mock as a past time? what the fuck

I graduated in May and have a useless degree. I was too mentally ill to look forward and set myself up for success and now I feel like it's too late for me. I don't have practical skills, it's too late to get internships at companies that won't take advantage of me, and I'm only good at studying and spitting out information someone told me. I'm scared, alone, and so upset with myself for being so fucking depressed I couldn't see I was making bad decisions. Coffee shops don't even want me. I feel like I'm good at stuff but the job market doesn't value a "I can learn!" mentality. What the hell am I supposed to do? I feel like I'll just be working two minimum wage jobs, struggling to make rent every month until the jobs kill me or I kill myself. I wish someone would just tell me what to do so I can fix this. All my friends graduated and are employed full time and my boyfriend is a genius and he's got people already trying to hire him before he's out of college. I'm the only one who has nothing.

When I entered puberty I was pretty sure that I was lesbian. I was secretly in love with one of my friends from school for years, but never told her and eventually lost contact upon graduating.
Eventually those feelings began to fade and I became more attracted to men, although more romantically than sexually (which lead me to think I was asexual for a while). In the past few months my attraction to other women returned while my attraction to men faded. I used to exclusively imagine my future with a man, but as of right now I dream of having a girlfriend instead…
Is this indicative of bisexuality? Is it typical for bisexuals to experience such shifts in what sex they are attracted to?
(Of course I am also a femcel and never had a relationship with anyone, so this is all purely theoretical.)

To clarify, I'm not about to justify your

Your coworkers are arseholes. You have grounds to take action for workplace bullying; my suggestion is to record them and get a good amount of evidence, and then get a lawyer. I'm not sure where you live, it may be illegal to secretly record people, but my law states it's okay "if the secret recording is ‘reasonably necessary’ to protect your ‘lawful interests’". The fact she called you to threaten you not to take action is disgusting; hopefully if you do go through with this, police will be able to dig up the phone conversation as evidence (most phone companies store calls for a few years; this is one of the few instances where I think it's a good thing). Also I hope you're able to find a new job with less shitty people. Sorry you're going through this rough patch.

I’m too deep down the rabbit hole of isolation that I feel like I’m sorely lacking perspective. Couple that with my only exposure to the real world being online. More fodder for neurosis.
It bothers me that ive become so bitter. That i can’t be happy for people around me. That i envy them their hard earned success. When did i turn into such a bad apple?
I was speaking to my ex situation. Semi regularly. Just to shoot the shit. Although my affection died, i could still dish out and receive banter. I was also reluctant to cut all contact because, frankly, he’s my only tether to the outside world, and i just couldn’t afford to be even more disconnected than i am now.
It’s just that, with the love goggles off, he’s revealing himself to be an objectively flawed individual. He’s got a great job and wonderful prospects. Plenty of savings, and a pretty clear idea on where to go from there. In contrast im eye deep down shit shaft of my own making. So i can’t play the victim either. When i complain to him, usually i complain about being severely anhedonic. I try not to reveal the true scope of my current self loathing, but i think anyone with a couple of neurons can sniff my raging insecurity, lack of stability, and generally perturbed mental health.
I started genuinely dreading talking to him when he’d hog the vent sesh, “complaining” about the egregiously high salary that his boss offered him. His plans to hop on the luxury watch hype train (i joked that he should only splurge on that vanity purchase if he could afford it, savings wise, thrice over. He replied laughing that he had much much morethan that saved up), and an upcoming trip he’s planning to NYC. When we were “together”, i always raved like a little dumb schoolgirl about New York, about wanting to live there for a while, just as a life experience. He was aloof and pretty judgmental about that, since i had revealed that some of my life long ambitions didn’t align with his. Was a major reason for why we nipped it in the bud. Now he was planning to go there as a grad gift to himself.
I’m not 12. I’m trained in social tact. Also, i have something of a delayed emotional reactions to things that irk me. So in conversations, i congratulate him on his achievements, and feign interest in his plans. It bothers me of course that i am such a bothered, smarmy, bitter fool. It makes me feel pathetic. But i also have to wonder. What kind of friendly retort to a long winded exasperated rant about not being able to look forward to anything anymore, is it to brag about fucking new york, and the absurd amount of money you earn? Is it, like, not tone deaf? Is this like a middle school tier manœuvre of “look at what you’re missing out on”?
I just feel tired of those conversations. I can’t sit there for hours entertaining a scrote’s ego tripping sessions about how much game he’s getting. About how he isn’t interested in dating, and how his new found dream is to trick an educated, intelligent woman with whom he can converse eloquently (or the fantasy version of me that he used to uphold) to be his trophy wife. On more than one occasion, i bite my tongue from blurting that the only reason i liked him in the first place was because he showed kindness to me and others.
It boggles my mind that i could have been such a horrible judge of character. It boggles my mind how pathetically insecure im becoming. It boggles my mind that i can’t find a balanced estimation of people. That i can’t consolidate vice with being human. Ew. Ew. Ew.

i've found that long distance relationships are often much more intense and genuine than people who live close (same can be said about the couples who move in together after long distance) because of how much you have to like someone to prioritize their person over the practical aspects of a relationship. that, for me, is very worth it.

Not to mention that one time during an intimate moment where he called me by her name. So yeah although he didn't physically cheat on me it definitely felt as if he did. The guy was just crazy about that girl, and she didn't even care about him, not even a tiny bit, like I did.

Eventually I made myself so wretched that I withdrew entirely from the world, and from this perspective I saw myself as a little figurine in a world of figurines. I saw my suffering and I saw everyone else's suffering and I saw it as all the same. It was a moment of deep misery, but also clarity. I truly realised that the world is your headcanon (not your oyster; oysters are outdated).
You get to make whatever you want a reality. Of course the "objective" specifics of things aren't always within your control, but you can decide whether they matter. It's funny because this idea, of complete freedom, initially sparked my pessimistic nihilism, and over time it became "optimistic nihilism", which transformed and helped me find meaning. I realised that my brain was worrying that there was too much to do and too little time to do it. But I don't need to 'do' anything. Whether I complete a task or not, if all I care about is the outcome, I'm going to feel empty. At the root, every action was founded on the belief that "If I do X, I'll get Y, and then I can stop being miserable". But outcomes are in the future, and when they come (if they come at all), they disappear almost instantly.
You can't create a recipe for contentment that says you need to bake the cake for several months and it has to be consumed within a 3 second window before you start the next cake. That plan will give you about 2 minutes of life every 80 years. Instead it's better to extract as much enjoyment from each moment. Right now, where are you? Is it dark/bright, is it hot/cold, what sort of colours surround you, isn't it incredible we can see colour; that we can see at all? That the first organisms to detect and use light couldn't see, but somehow the very presence of light made them slightly more resilient. The very act of going towards light made cells change and grow in such a way that eventually very tiny eyeballs were made, and then creatures could use these eyes to "see", and that over time this became so useful that a great deal of creatures can see not just light, but an array of colours. A byproduct of nuclear fusion and electric discharge became one of the core senses which I couldn't imagine humans (collectively) not having.
Every moment can be as incredible as you want it to be - it's your headcanon. Why does it have to mean something? We were born curious as babies, and that curiosity and innocence eventually went away; some of us had it driven out, some of us just never bothered to replace it. Why can't you find a task you enjoy and nurture it like a seedling. Let's say you like music. Nurture that appreciation and grow the tree to find that it branches into literature, poetry, maths, science, and engineering. If you like cooking, you can delve into the great wealth of recipes and flavours and techniques and cultures that will always have you finding something new to be interested in and amazed by. Even "boring" tasks can be made more fun by adding novelty to it; if you can bring yourself into the moment then you can make yourself enjoy it. You can break "I need to do X to get Y" and instead just think "Isn't it crazy that X is here right now?"

Does any else around here have depression?
Not like the clout seeking: "I have a mental illness, look at me and my list of 50 mental diseases!" But, like legitimate depression and a deep sense of unsatisfaction with life.
How do you cope, if at all?
(Blog post warning) I guess I can begin and share: I'm an alcoholic with severe depression. I just got out of rehab a while ago for it. I know that alcohol doesn't help with that, but I am hooked pretty bad on the stuff. I feel like the worse my everything gets, the more I rely on it as a crutch; to numb emotion when needed, and to let out emotion after a long day of faking a smile and going through the motions and keeping myself on auto-pilot. Either way, I end up with the same result.
I can't always explain why it happens, but sometimes I get this rush of overwhelming sadness that washes over me and drags me into its depths. Perhaps it's my wasted potential. Perhaps it's all of the shit I've been forced to deal with. Or perhaps it's the vicarious suffering that I've seen within my life. It feels like swimming within an endless, black ocean of misery, madness, and pain and the tide is pulling me under its vast surface. No matter how hard I try, I can't pull myself out of the rut.

Anonymous 101716
>>101673I was pretty depressed for much of last year and the beginning of this year. Obviously just because I’m feeling better now doesn’t mean I won’t ever slip into it again, but this is what helped me get out of that slump at least this time around.
What helped me cope was focusing on small things throughout the day or week that I enjoyed. For me, it was stuff like watching a movie on the weekend or going for a hike or reading or checking out a cafe. It helps to set benchmarks of things to look forward to in order to keep moving. And as you do small things like that to take care of yourself, your brain does start to shift into getting more comfortable with taking care of you rather than constantly punishing you and saying negative things.
The other thing is to hopefully figure out how you can change things. Coping only does so much, but if you’re really depressed and have been for a long time then I think that points to the idea that your circumstances are hurting you. I don’t know what you’re going through exactly, but I know when you’re really depressed it often feels like you’re completely stuck and don’t know what to do. But I think just having the idea that things could change and that you’re working toward it helps with not feeling like a completely empty void. Don’t focus on the outcome, because then I think it’s easy to get wrapped up in fixating on failure vs success. Just focus on the idea that you are working toward changing things and even if things don’t pan out exactly how you imagine, at least you have something to focus on. For a while, I focused on small steps to change my job and move to a different city. It seemed really impractical and now that I’m feeling better, I don’t feel the need to do either of those things, but at the time it helped me feel motivated because I felt I was taking steps to at least change something. And small steps is key. Even the idea of trying to no longer be depressed was intimidating to me lol. I’d often think ‘what’s the point of using all this energy to work on myself when I’ll just be depressed again when things go wrong.’ So rather than focusing on no longer being depressed, I just tried to take it day by day- ‘What can I do so that I won’t feel so shitty tomorrow?’ as opposed to ‘how can I completely get rid of my depression?’
What worked for me might not work for you, but at the very least I just want to express that being depressed really sucks so I’m here for you. I hope things eventually start to feel easier for you, whether my suggestions are helpful or not.

>>101716I think the fact that you're depressed or have gone through it is more important rather than the state you are currently in, and that a lot of people who say they have something wrong with them in order to seek clout often attempt to invalidate and turn struggle into a competition. When you're actually depressed, or a drug addict trying to recover; what I've found is that people like us who talk to others focus a little less on the events, and more on the issues and similarities they can relate with.
I appreciate the words. You seem like a very kind soul, and you're right. It can be hard to even want to be less depressed sometimes because sadness can turn into its own addiction. I think it's easy to forget the little things in life. I'm going to try to keep them in mind Anon. One thing I am thankful for are posts like your own. That and the ability to blow off steam with shit posting and venting

My brain made me develop a crush on an older famous (but not that well known) autistic moid a few years ago because his autism reminded me of mine and he's a gigachad(…) and I kept finding out about the kind of women he likes and it turned out to be strippers and bimbos with fake boobs specifically, he even said that he liked his ex wife because she cooks and fucks like a pornstar. He left his baby mom for the 10+ years younger stripper and then left the stripper for 20+years younger girl… I found all the things he said about women and me having a delusional crush on him caused it all to emotionally traumatize me for the millionth time. All crushes I ever had traumatized me starting at the age of 13, it was so severe that since that age I have been suffering from severe dissociation and me having a crush on that moid from the age 13 for years started my almost 10 year long depression, anorexia and other mental issues. Besides the autistic moid all my other crushes weren't even that physically attractive…

Nobody believes that the girl I knew online is a pedophile and when I try to talk about it somewhere else people get mad at me for saying that a lesbian can be a pedophile and when I exposed her on one social media platform someone went and send her anonymous messages talking about hot her pedophilia is. Now… This girl literally retweets and likes pictures of little girls some in underwear or diapers and says she's a "pizza emoji" lover and a "cunny" lover. She's so horrible she's just like a moid. I saw that one of my mutuals who speaks the same language as her still engages with her and it made me so sad what if she's a pedo too because someone sends her anon messages in that language flirting with her while acknowledging she's a pedo. And the pedo #1 is so fucking evil that she laughs at me for being bothered by her pedophilia and mocks me for being sensitive… Why nobody believes me and I'm made into the bad person.

I started honestly working out and to make any actual progress I have to be realistic about what I actually look like, versus what I want to look like. It feels nearly impossible because I've spent more than a decade hating my body. I know it comes from the fact that I was the girl kept around to make my friends look prettier or more elegant. I was an autistic, clumsy, late bloomer. Sometimes I wonder why I'm even bothering trying to get fit now because part of me is stuck back there, insisting that I'll never be pretty or considered beautiful, and an old, worn-out oversized hoodie is better than being humiliated trying to find clothes that suit me.

I don't even know how to broach this. I'm bad with my words but I'll try my best. Sorry if it comes out weird.
I've been missing my friend a lot lately. Painfully so. Like if I think about it my body aches and I get upset. Everything is so confusing and heavy and everything at home and at work just feels claustrophobic and messy. I'm completely demotivated and lost and it feels like everything I touch turns to dust. I've lost my spark in everything and I can feel a creeping, lingering dread about my days, like the walls closing in. Every day I lose more focus, every day feels more hopeless, I'm so alone and I'm scared of everything. I feel frozen and too scared to take any steps forward. I don't have anyone to tell me I'll be ok or catch me when I stumble. The littlest things knock what little wind I can muster out of my sails. I've even given up exercise and I'm not feeding myself well. My living space is a mess. My mind is a mess. My body is a mess. I don't think I've slept well in months. I always wake up crying and can't get back to sleep. I get panic attacks and need to sit in front of my night light and breathe deeply into a paper bag until they pass. I cry in the bathroom at work almost daily. I cry at home a lot. Why does life have to be so muddy and murky. Why can't I control my thoughts?
If William was here I'd be ok. I miss him so much it hurts. I know it wasn't his fault and he had to go home but these days it's all I can do not to pack my shit up and follow him. I feel so pathetic without him. He taught me so much and it feels like I've failed him. When I think about the days we spent together it makes me cry. Why does it make me cry? They're happy memories! I should smile when I think about them! Playing the violin, making pizza, running, playing old SNES games, dancing in my livingroom to 90s pop music, watching hilarious propaganda movies, knocking on his door and begging for breakfast only to see that he'd already set me a place at his table. They're good memories! They're my best memories! Even the sad ones are good memories. He took care of me when I was sick too. I got a really bad dose of COVID in 2020 that floored me for 3 weeks and he still came over and took care of me even though it was guaranteed that he'd get it. He still came over and helped me WHILST he was suffering too. I never felt safer with him around. Everything just made sense with him around. Every day with him was so fun and comfortable and easy. I realized I was in love with him way too late. Why the hell am I like this? Did I even ever love him? Or did I just love the way he made me feel? Did I ever show him how much he meant to me? Why didn't I? Why did I let a great thing slip away? Why am I such an idiot.

>>102009He isn't gay but he never made a move, ever. Not even when he saw my butt (an embarrassing movie night faux pas which he made one flattering comment about and then never mentioned again). Though his last girlfriend really did a number on him, It really messed him up. Listening to him talk about it was heartbreaking. I don't think he was interested in a relationship after that and I like to think that he just wasn't the type who would jump a girls bones and then pretend the relationship wasn't completely and irrevocably changed afterwards and that he valued our friendship too much to cross that line.
I did want him though. If he'd ever asked there's no question I'd have said yes. I just didn't want to push him before he was ready, or maybe I'm just a coward.

>>101954>>101920hey nonas I actually instead please recommend an entirely different book- The Case Against The Sexual Revolution by Louise Perry. The marquis de sade was SUPER fucked up and was a pseudo feminist like Hugh Hefner bc championing female sexual liberation opened the pool for more people to sleep with. At your own risk look that dude up, it's traumatizing. That guy's perception of women is NOT something you wanna identify with. Let's heal from internalized misogyny together nonas, and we can't do that by using a modern interpretation of a man's view of women.

>>102066Female sexual liberation is nothing more than a clever ploy for women to devalue themselves. They convince us that we're being told to cover up, denounce promiscuity and adhere to morals because men told us to and that we should take nude snaps and put them on the internet, wear revealing outfits, engage in casual sexwork and act according to sexual whims because it's empowering when really it's because when we do all of that men don't even have to try.
We've allowed ourselves to be devalued to such an extent that most women feel worthless and act accordingly. Feminism was very quickly weaponized against women. Most refuse to see it. The fact of the matter is that only women can give birth and only we have a say in which genetics live on and which perish with each generation. To cheapen that to such an extent that a woman like you or I will allow herself to be used by a genetic dead end is a testament to medias ability to control, obfuscate and blind us into serving their agenda.

So I'm a shitty neet that still lives with my mom and my little sister. I've been applying for jobs after graduating but basically the job market is shit and I am also shit so I can't find a job. Anyways, I know this is like super pathetic but I always have to ask my mom for money for food or if she can buy me food since I obviously don't have a source of income. Today I was feeling especially lazy and also like a fat ass so iw antes to buy fast food for me and my sister so I bought a meal for both of us, but with raising prices the meal for both of us was like over twenty dollars. I could have bought cheaper but I didn't today. I only eat one meal a day except for 1/4 a cup of peanuts when I first wake up and I swear it's not for anachan reasons, I'm just such a poorfag I literally try to 'make my meals count's by eating high calories shit so I can eat less often. I'm not fat but I'm also not healthy because I'm not getting nutrients but that isn't the point.
The point is I keep having to ask my mom for money and I feel like a failure and a peace of shit. I never ask for stuff but I ask for food and I eat all of it even if it's bad because I don't want to be wasteful. I'm so embarrassed and ashamed to be where I am in life right now. My mother is honestly really kind with me for letting me live here but she's not well off (unlike my post father who makes a lot of money and blows it gambling but that's another issue). Anyways it makes me sick to my stomach and I just don't know what to do. I feel too depressed to cook most days so I don't eat meals. I can't even keep shit in the fridge because people who live here might poach it, so I can only hide dry food in my room. I used to cook everyday. I'm embarrassed and I hope no one I know knows what I have become. I hate asking my mom for stuff. I hate being a leech to her. I wish I never had to eat. I feel guilty. I swear I sound insane but it's hard to describe my living situation succinctly.

>>102134Nah I've been there. Well, I never graduated. I was just a NEET for 5 years straight. The guilt was immeasurable. The only way I could absolve some of the guilt was assuming all of the chores. I did all of the laundry, all of the cooking, the cleaning, the maintenance, the repairs, the house admin, everything, and I have 90% of it done before they got back. A slightly challenging day would be something like:
- Get up, take a shower, make a cup of tea
- Browse the net for an hour or two
- Launch into chores around 11ish
- Open the windows and allow fresh air to circulate
- Collect and start the laundry
- Empty the dishwasher
- Dust the rooms
- Do all of the hoovering/dry mopping
- Empty the trash in all rooms
- Clean the bathroom and wipe the tiles
- Put the laundry in the dryer
- wipe down the prep surfaces in the kitchen, the coffee table in the livingroom, the sideboards etc
- Empty the laundry and split the pile into which rooms they belong to, then go and put the clothes away.
- Wet mop the hallway and dining room
- If requested by mom via text, start dinner (usually just the annoying tasks that took time like peel, slice and de-starch the potatoes or put the meat in the oven an hour before she got back from work, take something out of the freezer to defrost, that kind of stuff)
Not all things needed doing all days. I just did what needed doing. May parents never asked but they always appreciated it and when all was said and done the amount of time I spent on it was less than a part time job per week. When I eventually got a job my mom joked that me finally landing a job was bittersweet and while she was happy to see me getting on in life she missed the house help.
That said doing that stuff allowed me to retain my pride and not feel like an asshole for mooching. I do recommend it. Anything you can do to ease their burdens will make you feel better and help you feel like you're contributing.

At the very core do people ever change or do we just adapt. Life is just a dream, for others it's a normal dream but for many it's a nightmare. A dream is just a delusional, maybe reality is like an installation in a gallery, it is god's installation. Existing to only experience a creator, god,'s work. A limited gallery, temporary viewing that makes it so precious. Each person encased in his own dream, the dream must not be disturbed. Dreams cannot collide, and nightmares cannot become too intense for the vessel, or person. The dream is necessary because people need to chase. The goal isn't what really matters, and it doesn't matter if the dream is real. The goal is just an excuse people need to reach for existence because if they don't they feel like they will die. Like chasing after a mirage, a person or thing that doesn't truly exist as one knows it, the person knows he is chasing after a delusion but he still continues to do it anyway because if he doesn't do it he won't feel alive. This is why he must rise and die over and over again, because the ending will never satisfy. The hero's journey must never end or the hero will die. A parasite that needs to feed off of something else, devoid of himself. He collapses if he cannot have that much. The hero's greed is endless then, to exist in a dream one is either driven by greed or total peace. The total peace of one in a dream, existing in unison with the dream as one. Passively becoming only a vessel to house dreams, existing to experience oneself in another perspective. The dreamer watches himself existing in the vessel, or dream, or simulation, to reaffirm his existence or consciousness. The one who speak spells is the simulation, the dreamer is the silent one. Dreams in which one roams freely existing beyond nightmares, watching blooming fractures that shrivel and die. A vessel's only purpose is to house that individual dream, then the distinction between reality and fantasy doesn't matter.

I still think of you. A lot. Often. Everyday. I’ll be honest, I even dream of you sometimes. I know that’s pathetic. We never even had a conversation. Ever. All that happened was fleeting eye contact and you talking about my art during critique, which was nothing special as you did that for everyone anyway. I’m not special and I know that. I was just another classmate. You don’t think of me as often as I think of you, I’m sure of it. I’m just some girl you kind of know who happens to follow you on your social media. And since you kind of know me, you followed me back. That’s not some mystical sign that you’re into me, I know that. It’s just coincidence. You just followed me back because you recognized me as a classmate, that’s it. I shouldn’t read too much into it and delude myself, I know.
When I did have the chance, I wish I could’ve worked up the courage to talk to you, even once. It’s unfair to you for me to expect you to just approach me. For all I know you’re probably shy too, so I understand not wanting to just come up and approach someone out of the blue like that. I understand that it’s intimidating, believe me. The fault is mine, not yours.
And now it’s likely that I won’t ever see you again. In your last post, you mentioned getting your degree, so I’m assuming that you’re done and you’ll probably go someplace else. And I’ll never see you again. Because I was a coward. And I could never work up the courage to talk to you, or even send you a message. Because I feared that I would creep you out. Which is totally understandable. Again, you hardly know me. I’d hate to make you feel uncomfortable.
The new semester will start soon. Summer’s come to an end. If by some miracle I see you again, I still doubt that I could talk to you. The most I could bring myself to do is maybe wave or smile, and even then there’s the possibility that I’ll fuck it up and panic because it’s you. And I guess I’ve built up an idealized version of you in my head. Since I don’t know you very well at all. For all I know you could be a terrible person. I don’t even know if you’re single. I don’t even know if you like girls. I just don’t know, because I could never bring myself to just talk to you. And I’m sorry. August will come, and I’ll go back to class. And I’ll walk around campus, by myself, like always. And all I’ll do is ask myself, what if? What if I took the chance? The leap of faith? What if something did come of it after all? What if we did end up becoming friends? I’ll never know. Because I never tried. All I’ll do is wonder what if.

For the last year or so I was genuinely convinced I was nonbinary. Since 2018 I've been "experimenting with gender" or whatever the fuck it's called in those circles. I had binders, male clothes, all of it. I settled on the label of enby last year and was thrilled I finally found something that suited me. I looked androgynous and queer, had the dyed hair and piercings, all of it. I wasn't happy though, no matter how I tried to present I knew I was female and always would be, and hated it. I hated I was born a girl and wanted anything to change it. I didn't want the kind of femininity that was offered in the small conservative town I grew up in.
I was chronically ill anyway, and saw the whole thing as escapism. A different way of living that wasn't the overall genetic hand I was dealt that kept me bedridden most days and miserable. I've recovered from most of my illnesses and can function like a person again, and now, I feel like a girl. I love wearing feminine things and my natural hair, I like actually being a girl. I can't believe I even tried to be genderfluid or nonbinary. I'm mortified by trying all of that out, and now I have to make the rounds to all the people I came out to and tell them I changed my mind, and it really was just a phase. When I did, some of my friends said the word "girl" incredulously and like it's the worst insult they could imagine. One even made a disgusted face when I said I used the pronouns "she/her" now.
I'm ashamed of all the years I wasted being the blue-haired liberal stereotype. I want to bury my head in the sand and forget it even happened. I feel like I need an entirely different life path now, like, going back to school and getting a respectable degree so people can take me seriously. I just want peace, but I'm haunted now by this past. I just wish it never happened.

Shaved my legs today, I'm a terrible feminist. One step backwards for female liberation.
But I'd been going out in the heat wave with hairy legs for the past 3 weeks after shaving for 14 years straight (even in the winter), so I did try my best. Unfortunately I go through bouts of being paranoid and very sensitive to social rejection.
At least I keep up the no makeup and wearing comfortable clothes, though both of those are easy since I hate them regardless. I will allow myself some leeway since my starting point with bodyhair was worse than average as I also shaved my arms for 14 years.
It may be moot anyway since being a weeb and having a male friend already makes me a shit feminist. Maybe I should just be a somewhat apolitical gay chick and keep it at that. I'm weak.

i met a guy on 4chan a couple of months ago. he seems very insistent on a relationship and i feel awkward when he hints at us being romantic.
i strongly suspect he has npd, or at the very least is capable of npd abusive behavior. i don't want to say this to him because i don't think he's a bad person deep down, but has just been through trauma in the past. i also think his behavior would be deeply misunderstood and that may contribute to worsening that trauma. i feel hurt when i think about the things he's done and said to me. but i know i've also hurt him by saying mean things in the past.
i still care about him. how do i tell him i just want to be his friend? i wish he realized how much i know he could be a better person and that i want him be a better person too.

your unresolved mental health issues. No offense, of course. If you feel like his behavior impacts you so significantly, then you should limit contact with him or cut ties, because you should be your first and primary most important person in the world, and your feelings should come before his. Remember that he thinks the same of himself, especially since he's male and you suspect he has NPD which I definitely believe as it's very common with the way men are socialized.

I have a bit of a weird situation. I live with my brothers and my husband in my mothers old home. She lives somewhere else. I enjoy living together, but I can't help feeling so overworked 24/7. I do most of the chores, in the early morning my husband is asleep and as soon as he wakes up he expects sex. I tell him no, I'm exhausted and then I almost get guilt tripped into giving in. If I ask one of my brothers to do simple chores like 'doing dishes' he complains and gets angry… he's unemployed and sits on his ass all day. But he dares to call me a bad parent because my child is a picky eater and cries when he taunts him… I'm 100% sure he's narcissistic. He never respects me, complains to me while I cook, clean, buy the groceries etc. List goes on and the other two men in the house never try to defend me or see the problem. They're probably afraid of his anger issues too.
I don't think I'm a good person, but I deserve a little better than this. One time I had a melt down in the shower because it was too much to handle. My brain exploded.
Anyway, I hope something changes soon or else I give up and maybe move out of here. It's a shame because it's a beautiful home.

I've been NC with my family for 5 years, LC since I was old enough to do so, but still will randomly remember something and wonder how my mother could be so horrible.
One memory that resurfaced recently was me telling my mother I wanted to be a singer. The thing is, I never sang anything, had little to no interest in music, no abilities. Was quiet and introverted. I can see now I only wanted attention. Not in a negative way but because my mother was either dismissive or breathing down my neck to nitpick anything I did. I had no positive attention in my life and so being famous seemed like a source of that.
Anyway, my mother told me to sing a song for her later on to judge my ability. My mother also having zero music knowledge. So I sang a random pop song I had lyrics for from a magazine with no backing music. First thing my mother told me was that she had only meant for me to sing part of it. Why tell me to sing a song then? Why not stop me?
Then in a very condescending voice she told me I didn't have any talent. I can't remember her exact words but something like that.
The thing is, now that I'm older, I can see that it's pretty rare for someone to be able to sing without any sort of training. At the bare minimum, singers grow up in households where singing is encouraged, or they are part of a church choir, or they often sing by themselves. There is music theory and breathing techniques to be learned.
My mother must have known that I wouldn't have been able to sing well from this or from having heard me sing for school things. I don't understand why should would set me up to fail like that and then crush my dream so cruelly. Why not sign me up for singing lessons? Or ask why I wanted to do that? Or even just say it sounds like a fun career and wait to see I will change my mind.
Similarly, I remember telling her when I was 10 that I wanted to be an astronaut. The first thing she told me was that I couldn't be one as I wasn't American. Like why do that? I looked it up and my country had astronauts then so it wasn't even true. But she didn't consider I could become American? Or that I wouldn't be applying for at least 20 years and things could change? Or that having a cool dream that could lead to related more attainable careers (e.g. space research) wasn't a bad thing?
I just don't understand why she would expect a young kid to always be 100% realistic in their life ambitions and to be needing a verbal smackdown for daring to dream. The worst part is my parents never did anything, never went anywhere, never had any friends, so I didn't even have much knowledge until I was an adult about the wide range of more normal careers out there or how difficult being a singer or astronaut would be. They set me up to fail and then acted like I was being ridiculous for behaving like any average kid would.

Sometimes I assume it has to be the latter since there's no way someone actually cares that much about someone they haven't spoken to in ages. Truly, moids are pathetic.

I'm like this with people I don't actually care about - it's hard to listen to them self indulgently drone on about themselves so I tend to miss details. I think you can tell if you actually have a piss poor memory/are maybe retarded if it seems to be the case in a wide range of scenarios - are you bad at remembering things at school? How are your grades? What about conversations with friends?

was always torn between how ulgy/pretty i was since my selfies are soooo different from my front camera pics
so I put my photos of this site which lets its users rate each other and even my best pics good 4.5, whereas the ugly one got 3.5
I thought the system was rigged, I thought the users were losers who rated girls low out of spite
so I posted 2 of these conventionally pretty girls, one of them even being overweight
and both got almost maximum, over 9.5
so yeah, now I feel like dying
seems like I must be hideous, idk how I manage to fool myself

how come people with NPD are obsessed with riling you up?
for example, if you tell them you don't like when they do something, they'll continue doing it. why is this? it makes it hard to be on good terms with them.
Anonymous 102411
>>102410as someone with npd, it's because they feel ego bruised by it, and depending on the person they might want to:
1 get on your nerves (common for both sexes)
2 neg you by making you feel unimportant (more likely if it's a scrote)
3 want you to start liking it by getting you used to the idea it's not that bad and that actually it makes them more charming to have that trait (more common for women)
there are other reasons but these are the ones ive seen most. all of these have in common the fact they want to feel in control and flawless again, and that's the ultimate goal. also, they can all coexist.

>>102414it's kind of hard to describe. we were good friends who shared the same online space, said and shared sexual things to each other at times, but he never indicated anything official. we got into some really bad arguments and it became apparent how different our values were.
i want to be on good terms. aka share the same space but not get emotionally triggered by him when he does things like the above. i just don't really get why he does stuff like that so i'm guessing he has a problem with me he has a hard time expressing. what should i do?
Anonymous 102420
>>102415why do you want to be on good terms with a npd moid?
males are bad as a baseline, but when they have personality or mood disorders they're even worse. i strongly advise you to let him be, but if you want to be on good terms know you're dealing with a mentally ill person and don't expect this relationship to ever be anything more than casual and transactional and often on his terms.
appealing to his empathy won't work. if you say "stop doing this, it's hurting me" he won't stop. in fact he will probably do it even more. don't show that you care, or vulnerability of any kind.
ignore it, and he will stop eventually, i promise.
if you want to speed up the process and make your relationship with him even better, on top of ignoring you can also demonstrate some sense of unaffected superiority to what goes on between you two, while being careful in not hurting his npd feelings (very easy thing to do) in your daily interactions.
examples:
when he says "this cant work between us" you just go "i agree" without giving much explanation and changing the subject lightheartedly. inquiring as to why he thinks that, or trying to change his mind, or showing any kind of apprehension will bite you in the ass. same will saying things like "i don't want you anyways" or insulting him. just be neutral and collected.
if he asks you to elaborate, say something like idk just a feeling i get and do not expand. never expand that will let you get into his head a lot.
if you play it well this
could get him obsessed with you btw, even if you dont want that it's a potential side effect.

Not a sad vent more like me being annoying and annoyed. I promise this isn't racebait and idk if it is considered as such, just want to rant but it really bothers me how people view race so strongly as a monolith. Grouping different ethnicities into one racial monolith is such a sweeping generalization because it discounts for distinctions between cultural and societal norms. This is why I find racial solidarity to be so stupid because to me it is shallow and doesn't care for nuance. Notably, when it comes to dating, sweeping behavior and culture of distinct ethnicities all under one racial label is ridiculous unless the racial label only exists as physical preferences.
And as a sidenote, I hate the way moids police and act with racial preferences. Why are they always so damn weird whether it be fetishizing aspects and traits of another culture they cannot comprehend without their dicks involved or when it comes to weird policing of mixed couples that don't even involve them as if it is a personal attack, and I say this as someone who would only date my own ethnicity, like why do you think you have the right to care and lord over other people's dating lives? Because women from what I see don't have this weird tendency to force their own preferences onto other people or police other couples and their autonomy.

My BF is always gushing about Middle Eastern culture and how much he wishes to learn Arabic. He wants to be a diplomat in the Middle East or something like that. Now he’s planning on going to Oman or Jordan to take an Arabic language course when he finishes his degree next year.
I want to support him but I have a sneaking suspicion that the god awful moid dominated culture of the Middle East will rub off on him and he won’t be the same. I mean he likes their culture as it is so I would not be surprised if there was something im not privy to. I’m afraid and I mean that’s not even considering if our relationship will survive long distance.

He’s strangely obsessed with Yemen. He tells me about the architecture of Sanaa and what he sees as the injustice of the Saudi lead coalition. The usual dorky stuff you come to love in a person. He hasn’t to my recollection mentioned being interested because women are subservient in Islam. I BELIEVE that his intentions are to gain language and cultural knowledge for his career. I just think that once he gets a taste for having lots of power over women he may enjoy it and it may stick with him.

Anyway, he is probably so 'mysterious' because there isn't much for him to say about what he does with his time. I'm almost certain that if you track him with gps, you might see him going to the gym, possibly buying groceries afterwards, then spending most of the evening at home. Interesting people are largely "boring" (which is what makes them interesting - because they spend time thinking rather than flooding their brains with trivial 'experiences').

I hate how a woman's worth in this world is how pretty and young you are to a man. Why even get married if every man supposedly believes this? If this is true, then your husband would end up lusting after women half his age, watch porn of said women and probably cheat on you with these women. Even if you do everything right according to men's standards, you're not useful to them for very long. If this is true, then there's no point in love or marriage. You will never be good enough for these types of men. Once this happens, you're supposed to reluctantly accept it and embrace the rest of your loveless marriage

>>102706The solution is to not play the game and gain autonomy, by lowering yourself for these types of men you're essentially objectifying yourself and women so if you really want to find someone you need to find someone who will prides emotional intimacy and relationships much more. Those men aren't worth your time and energy anyway as someone who only cares for nothing beyond the superficial is soulless anyhow. Yes men naturally will be attracted to hot young girls because of biology but if they have a soul they can learn to gain appreciation for things abstract concepts and things beyond vanity. These types of men tell on themselves anyway so it's not hard to avoid them you just need to be able to pick up on the red flags. That's why women who settle and degrade themselves in such a way by essentially being a doormat usually never end up happy because it gives these soulless and abusive men easier access to them rather than actually attracting genuinely good men. Shitty men don't go after women with self-esteem.

My cousin is this incelly guy that comes everyday to my mom's house to eat and I can't stand him anymore. He never tries to have a conversation with me even when we're eating together which is fucking awkward because I don't like eating in silence when I have him right in front of me. Never says anything besides 'hello' and 'bye'. Never makes eye contact, which I get is hard but he doesn't even look at me in the face. Has the worst table manners I've ever seen, and also the worst posture ever and doesn't try to correct it. I've tried getting to know him many times, asked him lots of questions and he just replies and doesn't follow up. All he knows is anime, videogames and Marvel. He can't do anything on his own, my mom goes to the bank for him and recently went to his new apartment to put the curtains. She helped him get the apartment, move out, set up everything. Everyday he just comes home, says 'hello' and sits on the chair, waiting for his meal. Doesn't even try to make small talk with my mom, the one who makes all his meals. Then he says 'bye' and leaves without bothering to do the dishes, he just leaves everything there. Literally the most uncharismatic person I've ever known, I don't think I've seen him smile, not even a smile without teeth. I love my mom and I enjoy living in this house but I'm thinking of moving out because I'm jaded of seeing him everyday. This has been going on for 4 months and I can't deal with it anymore. Am I overreacting? Is there anything I can do to make my situation better besides moving out?

I can't believe for a while I went through a handmaiden phase of wanting to date and marry a moid. I resent my past self for displaying such disgusting behavior, degrading myself and betraying my own integrity and values and I cringe so hard when I remember it. I also resent my life-long internalized misogyny. I genuinely believe I am incapable of being emotionally intimate, vulnerable, or feminine around any xy because it is dehumanizing and degrading in my mind. But I learned with women I am able to be feminine, be cute, be emotionally vulnerable and express myself without self-loathing over it. Ever since I started to accept my more feminine traits around my friends instead of repressing them I started to feel much happier even if I get really embarrassed and shy about it often. I can be soft and sensitive with women because I know the power dynamics are different and women won't think any lesser of me. With a man if I do that I am essentially dehumanizing myself because it signals as weakness to a moid.
I think this is also why I am hypermasculine and competitive against men, being around men makes me act much colder or aggressive and my voice pitch lowers significantly. To be seen as a womanly by a man is degrading, it is soul-crushing and by being soft, vulnerable, or feminine in any way in the presence of a man will make him view you as an inferior being because to a man such things are weaknesses and you will just be seen as a trophy, accessory, decoration. When a moid sees you as a feminine being he sees you as a pet or child, he will not respect your humanity on the same level like he does for his friends. Men when interacting with a woman will always judge everything about her in context to her womanhood while a woman will not do the same because women are able to see someone's character for something much deeper beyond sex. Men are not capable of love on a deeper level like a woman is, why give a man your heart when it will just make him disrespect you and stomp all over your honesty? I'm a retarded womanchild who can't verbalize her own emotions probably because I always tried too hard to act masculine and repress my emotions for most of my life and I think about how cringe it was and how it makes me want to die in a hole. But knowing this about men also means I don't need to think about the male sex. I wish I wasn't a het so I could love a woman because I do want to have a romantic relationship but I can't so I will love 2D men instead. I like children, but I don't think I could raise a child well as a single parent so I think I could make children storybooks as an alternative.

>>102740But I can't even despise men much, as what I feel towards xy is more of a combination of distaste, distrust, and fear. I like to fantasize about being a prince charming, romanticized masculine ideals of honor, glory, chivalry, brotherhood and other ridiculous fantasies but I know if I was a real xy I could never be like that because of moid biology, hardwiring, and male socialization. I pity men for being born as an xy. Even learning self-control and discipline for a man is seen as enlightenment meanwhile a woman is already socialized to discipline herself.

>>102738I've tried but she always gets mad because "he's family and you're supposed to help family". Which makes no sense because she's doing the opposite by not letting him develop independency. He's not autistic, just socially sheltered. Videogames got him too young and this is the result. He never leaves his apartment except for coming home to eat and that's recently, before that he never left his apartment for 3 whole years. My mom did all his groceries, everyday she walked to his apartment in the middle of the rain or when the weather was too hot to bring him his meals, yes: for three years… Everyday that goes by I'm just grossed out by his lack of self awareness and empathy for my mom and I know I can't change him or my mom so I'm running out of options.

Imagine not interacting with the woman that's done so much for you. Everything he does makes me despise him even though at first I felt bad for him.

>>100201a classmate passed away a few months ago. i found out yesterday. i had a class online with her freshman year, in 2020, and after talking to her a little i always wanted to meet her in person. i've been waiting all these years to finally see her. i knew she had cancer but was too afraid to reach out to her. maybe i was too afraid that she had already passed. after a while we never really talked again but during the short period we did speak at all she was so, so lovely and i appreciated her from afar when she'd post in the college server, she'd share these drawings and animations so lovely you'd never think anyone had the same kind of humor and talent as her in the whole world and honestly, i don't think anyone will again. every so often ever since she got diagnosed i've been googling her name to see if she'd come to campus yet, to see how she was doing. yesterday i saw the obituary. i can't stop feeling regret for not reaching out to her more. she was such a lovely person i can't emphasize this enough. it wasn't until i read the obituary that i knew that she was such a talented singer that she's performed at all these renowned concert halls, and that was after already knowing she was so so smart and a fantastic swimmer and again, could draw a few frame animation so smooth you wouldn't believe it, draw a reference so funny yet insightful you'd never have dreamt of it in a million years. and worst of all, reading her obituary, it said she always wanted to go to campus, and … she died before she ever got to go. and i've been waiting all these years like an idiot like she'd be okay, like she'd get better, like she'd show up one day and we'd get to talk like we once did. she was so so lovely. why her? why her of all people? we'd have these long conversations about what animations she'd watched, what kind of music she liked, i … i don't know. she was funny and interesting and so cool and somewhere deep down i thought she'd live forever. even when it was getting worse. even when she stopped talking. even when i hadn't seen a thing from her in months. why her? why am i the coward that couldn't even reach out to her when i had the chance? it doesn't even feel real. i … i don't know. people at my college, even if they had never talked to her, remember her by her art. it was just that eye catching. someone made a collage of her art. its all so beautiful. i miss her so much.

It feels like most conversations I have with friends turn into us talking about their lives and their problems. Of course I'm genuinely interested in their lives and ask questions, but I've noticed this frequent pattern of one-sided conversations. It seems like there's almost never an equivalent exchange. There's no further inquiry into my responses when they do ask a question. It feels like they just wait for their turn to talk about themselves. Does no one know how to make genuine human connections anymore? Am I doing something wrong? Dunno if I've just been hyper-fixating on it and blowing it out of proportion, but it's been pissing me off and is starting to discourage me from putting effort into building stronger friendships.

>>102936That's kinda just people in general nona
I have a few quotes thatll kinda get that point across
The most popular word in the English language is "I"
People post their faces all over social media. And they only like your photos so they can have social acceptance to post their own photos and have other people like them
Nobody gives a shit about your face, but the exchange is I like your face so my friends will like mine
All that being said, I'm very self conscious in conversations with strangers because I do often talk about myself way more than I allow them to, mostly cause opening a can of worms by asking me a question usually begets a long answer
I do mean to eventually talk about you, but I have to get through what I'm saying first
And suddenly the conversation is over and I've given a long expose about my job and you've said "I'm a musician" and I haven't even gotten to ask you what instrument you play or what your band is called

Youtube randomly recommended me an old women's channel. It makes me so sad to watch because I think she's homeless. In one video she talks about how her life has fallen apart after a divorce and it just breaks my heart. Also in a recent video she asked if anyone knew if doordash has caused someone to commit suicide… Tbh if I could I would reach out to her and give her money but I'm broke.
Also I'm going back to school after being a neet for a year and I'm so scared of being put into deepfake porn. I'm religious and modest and I feel like some horrible moid would therefore enjoy making fake nudes of me. I'm not muslim but I had my mom order me a niqab for my birthday. I'm sort of on the fence about wearing it because I don't want people to be racist towards me or think I'm weird. But the idea of a moid doing that to me is terrifying.

I can’t handle one more semester of college. I haven’t had a summer break these past two years. I just take classes (16-18 credits) and jobs & more classes during the summer. This semester I plan to work 20 hour and take classes. It’s all entirely too overwhelming and too much but I have to work because I am just a constant disappointment to everyone around me. But i am trying.
Life is hard and no longer as fun and easy as it felt before. I genuinely don’t look forward to anything. I am not excited about graduating or getting my degree anymore but I’m too invested now to risk it all.

Seeing so many stories of men shamelessly cheating on their women and reading all the pink pill stuff really makes it hard to be in a relationship with my BF. There's always going to be a part of me that's bracing itself for a betrayal. It's disturbing how deceiving and dishonest men can be. You really can't allow yourself to get too attached to them. Just have them around for entertainment and to have someone cute and nice to spend time with, just like you'd with a pet. But never think of a man anything more than that. So then you can't get upset if turns out they betrayed you.
Men really don't deserve women. It's apparent that women give so much more value to a man's life than the opposite usually. That's why you often see single women thriving while single men go completely insane, either suicide or worse. And yet men have the audacity to not return the favor with love and loyalty. Men don't fucking deserve women. It's depressing how deep down I think my BF is just another moid that would betray me on a whim. Men don't love the same way as women. A woman will love a man for who they are. Men can't grasp or feel love the same way. Their love is conditional, and that condition is very simple. Look very attractive. That's all they care about. I'm sure my BF wouldn't do the things he does to me if he didn't find me good looking. A woman needs to be beautiful to evoke any kind of love and devotion in a man and even then they'll still just betray you. Nothing is good enough for a moid and they wont love you for the person that you are, but for what they gain out of you. They really aren't people. Can't ever forget that fact. Don't treat a moid as a person, they are just a source of entertainment. Nothing else.
Anonymous 103086
>>103084To continue my vent, despite knowing these things about men, I still know that I love my BF. I adore him. My love for him is deep, because I'm a woman. There's not many things in this world that's more beautiful than a woman's love for their man. A moid will never love a woman as purely as woman loves their man. It's very depressing to know, but at the same time liberating in a way. Knowing that he doesn't love me as much as I love him or wont do the same things I'd do to him is not because I'm not good enough or valuable, it's just because he is a moid. You just can't expect them that. They're limited, you can't have the same expectations, same way you don't have same expectations for a children. You don't get mad or upset at a child not understanding, it's the same here.

I feel like I've been having a hard time connecting with people lately. A lot of my friends are away/on vacation at the moment too and I've just generally been feeling alone. My best friend also just entered a new relationship and although I am happy for her, I suppose I feel a bit insecure. I know a relationship isn't something I need, not in general but especially not right now, but I suppose it still has left a little bit of longing in me. I think I'm also just worried about her moving into the honeymoon stage and opting to spend more time with him though I suppose she hasn't really done anything that has made me believe that will actually happen. I think I just hate feeling like a third wheel.

I have such a crippling fear of loneliness/abandomenet that it entirely dictates my life. I can't enjoy anything unless I do it with someone else, I just keep stressing out over being alone. If someone cancels on some of our plans my entire day (and prolly the few next days) are ruined. Whenever I talk to people I just ask them questions that make me feel like I am not lonely. I do not even have any real interests anymore, I just do stuff that I could bond with others over and then I wait for the next day to come. I only get a job to be around people. I picked my career path cause the job means I will always be around people. I'm even considering hooking up with strangers just so I feel less alone.
Worst part is that at this point is I do not think any amount of social interaction will rectify this fear, I will always just want more. My parents keep feeding this fear too but I cannot move out, and even if I did, I will be even more alone.

I am 23 years old and europoor. In my country it is completely normal to live with your parents even after you reach 30 because housing prices are too high. I am going insane by the fact that my mother thinks having my own privacy when it comes to the stuff I do on my PC is ''hiding''. Even when I started puberty and until now she doesn't knock on my door, she justs comes in. It's been 10 fucking years and she cannot respect that. She used to come in and dismiss me anytime I would beg her for some manners. We just had a fight because she thinks that lately I have been very private about my PC, she thinks I am hiding something, that I am browsing something super illegal. I am not. I don't even watch porn, I hate it. The only times I've ever hidden a tab was when I am on LC or here because I don't want her to know about these places, but those haven't been the times when I've actually shouted ''don't come in''. I tried to explain to her that sometimes when I've just had a shower and I am waiting for the moisturizer to be absorbed I sit and use my PC while waiting, so maybe if she tried to come in and I say ''don't come in'' she thinks it's because of the PC but it is in fact because I am naked. She just doesn't believe me and when I ask her what does she think I am doing she just responds that she doesn't know. So I tell her again and still she doesn't believe me. I try to explain to her that the fact that she doesn't believe me has a negative impact on my self-steem and she doesn't believe that either. My older sister takes her side. I can't with this. My mother has spent over a decade emotionally manipulating me to not have any privacy of my own, making me feel guilty whenever I attempted to. When I was a teenager she would blackmail me and I would tell her everything, and then I would feel so ashamed because I felt I was still a child, I had no backbone, I couldn't stand for myself, I was not maturing and becoming an individual of my own. With my sister this doesn't work and since my mother can't extract information from her she just uses me. My sister also benefits from her inquiries because she wants to know about me without revealing about herself, she knows information is power and the more she knows about me and what I like or don't like, what I appreciate or what hurts me, the more she has control over me, she can verbally abuse me more effectively. She used to read my diary when I was younger and my mother wouldn't really give two craps about it. I just feel so low right now. I had a meltdown in front of them and I hate feeling so vulnerable and so neglected at the same time.

I can't stop being a hateful person. I don't actually hate anyone truth be told, I don't really enjoy it. I dislike it because sometimes I just really want to be alone and be a passive and peaceful NPC traveler in life but I feel like I have to be hateful and spiteful and I need everyone to hate me and despise me as a form of retribution. I want people to imagine the worst of me and spite me for it, because then I can finally pay for my wrongdoings or maybe I want to live up to the expectation people have had of me of being an awful or horrible person. Deep down I really don't want to but a part of me says I have to be a detestable person. I also kind of hate that my friends like me because I don't think they should because I think I should be hated and I want them to leave me alone because of that but I can't be awful to them so I'm not. The most I can do is be insufferable and psychotic towards moids on the internet, but I also don't want to play that part anymore I have trouble doing it but deep down I still think I need to be hated somehow to pay for my bad karma.

I’m keeping up with an old childhood friend on social media and they are struggling a lot with depression and suicidal ideation. I shared so many amazing memories with them throughout my childhood and I really want to help desperately. I feel like a horrible person for just ignoring their cries for help, I really really just want to hug them and tell them it’ll be ok, but I know it’s not that simple. They were extremely mentally ill, even when we were very young children. They have gotten a lot worse mentally and are struggling financially very badly.
I am just overrun by guilt .. I don’t want someone I really care about to be struggling so bad but at the same time, I don’t want them to hurt me, mentally or physically if I get too close to them. Am I supposed to just ignore this? I don’t even know if they feel the same way about me. They probably think I abandoned them even though our contact info got lost between us somehow. I should probably stop checking her social media but I also want to know if they are still alive.

I'm stupid for agreeing to this but I was desperate and mentally unstable and now it's eating me up inside. I can't move on from the past and the only thing I want in life now is to relive my life from scratch and fix my mistakes, but that's impossible.

>>103371you can't go back but you can fix your mistakes. I say this as someone who's sort of on the same position (looking at former friends getting ahead while I'm stuck) Nothing's lost, you can craft a future for yourself too>>103371

Damn, I need to stop being stupid. Every once in a while, I tell myself that I am ready for love and put myself out there only to be severely disappointed because I just can’t talk to men. I still can’t put my finger on why, but conversation always fizzles out. I know I’m part of the problem because I’m probably not being very engaging and sharing a lot with them, but I don’t have the urge to do so either which I think points to lack of interest. Part of me is telling myself I should keep trying because hopefully if I talk to enough guys there has to be one I get along with. But every time I get disappointed, I just feel worse about myself like I must be doing something wrong even when I’m not that attracted to whoever I’m talking to in the first place.

When I met my moid he knew I was financially useless, and needed to be supported.
He still wanted me to be an influencer or smt and now he guilt trips me all the time because I don't make money.
I feel awful.

>>103347Sorry for the late reply! It's not that I want to reveal to her what imageboards are, it's just something another anon asked and I was answering why I don't think that's a good idea. The fakesona is an interesting option, I would be lying if I said that it hasn't crossed my mind a few times in my life but the effort seems enormous. Have you ever attempted such a thing successfully?
>However, you give the impression that you are culivated and also want to be perceived as such what makes my suggestion rather meh.You got me there, although I'd like to think I am not too focused on being percieved as such, it's just the role of the introverted rather intellectual sister I've been playing since adolescense, but I'm sure most of my family think I am weird and cringe lol. I like goth rock, big beat, industrial, techno, post punk an other alternative genres, what about you?
>>103391Don't be harsh on yourself, most men don't know how to have a real conversation, they only know how to talk about themselves or how much they think they know about X topic. Are you feeling pressured to get a partner?
>>103396Have you explored financial aid options? If you can't work for whatever reason maybe you can apply to some type of aid your government offers. It may seem hard to find out but there are usually a handful of physical offices in each city where social security workers help you with any doubts you may have and they can evaluate if you are a valid candidate.

I was more or less trapped in a relationship with someone for a year after I tried ending it with him. I think it contributed to my developing an autoimmune disorder months after it finally ended, when I was still processing all of it and was still in a heightened state of stress over everything that happened. I burned out and lost interest in many things, especially social things. I'm doing better, but I'm afraid I'm at least slightly broken for life by that experience. All because some entitled nerd thought he had the right to 'veto' my breaking up with him and then went over my head to manipulate the circumstances to make it difficult for our relationship to end.

>>103406No external pressure to find a partner, but sometimes I tell myself that maybe there’s a guy out there I could love and put myself out there just to see. Thanks for the reassurance though. One guy I was talking to just told me he can’t tell how interested I am in him based on my lack of responses and I wondered if I’m just terrible at being a conversation partner and other guys just ghost me after a while. But I guess I wasn’t super interested in the first place so maybe they could pick up on that.

>>102653I was reading Lucy By The Sea. Came out last year. He knew too much about it to be feigning interest. I know he's probably boring. I know that if I tracked him it'd be mundane stuff like the gym, groceries, home etc. but I just need to know. The more I can't find about this moid the more it irritates and interests me.
>>102618Most definitely not.
>>102611Definitely not. She's married and older than him. I took her to mean that she knows medical stuff, home stuff etc.

Last week I learned/noticed
>He hums classical music>He favours purples/blues/reds in his shirts>He shaves once every couple of days>He likes hazelbut cookies>He can read music>He doesn't use sugar or sweetener. He uses honey.>He stares at girl butts if you wear leggings (so probably not gay)I also asked him "what are you getting up to this weekend" and he says "overtime". I log in and can see that he's completed a bunch of assignments and helped others with theirs.
He even went through a few of my tough ones and put notes on stuff I'm not progressing on. His notes make perfect sense. I like that he doesn't overuse emojis.

I dated a guy for over 7.5 years. The last two years of the relationship was purely a trauma bond because his drug habits and porn addiction fried his brain to the point where he became mentally deranged. Finally got the balls to press charges after two years of abuse. the amount of women who came out to me about his disgusting behaviors and actions towards them during the duration of our relationship almost made me vomit. He sexually assaulted two, broke into one’s house at 3am, and has 4 different no contact orders including mine now and 3 for cyberstalking and harassment. Dude had at least 15 different facebooks he used to stalk women on. Any time I tried to question him on any of the crumbs of his bullshit he would fail to hide he would gaslight me. In the end he had quit his job and stole money from my bank account for drugs and cost me over 2k in hospitalization bills and 4k for other bullshit (not including me having to pay ALL of our bills for over two years). Of course now he’s all over Facebook trying to gain a pity party and say that it was me who was the problem despite him pleading guilty to avoid jail time.

No vent really. This morning I went to take a shit (and was pretty happy because I get to doomscroll on the shitter AND because I didn't go the whole weekend). I get a good momentum going when a first cramp hits. My period's close and I haven't had severe cramps in years and years, unless I'm coming down from a strenuous workout after which my uterus feels it necessary to punish me for being active. I don't pay it much mind, but that shit doubles in frequency and the pain goes from a 4 to a 12 in seconds. Then I'm doubled over crying. I drag myself to the sofa. I'm sweating like a pig and feel nauseous, and I WASN'T EVEN DONE CLEARING MY COLON. The next half hour is nothing short of what I assume childbirth feels like. Down to contractions THAT I COULD FEEL. Of course, I don't handle it with grace. So naturally, I'm crying and writhing around and begging for painkillers (I ran through my last stash so I was at the mercy of my mother). All the while my mom does the necessary, gets me a steaming cup of hot chocolate. I would thank her for the care but for the constant stream of blaming and berating that she just launched on. About how I never listen to her advice, how I lowered my pain threshold with painkillers, and that I'm probably affecting my fertility and shit. With the pain, her tirade (which is routine at this point) is like nails on a chalkboard and just compounded the suffering. Anyways, the heat of the cup does what it does best and eventually the pain ebbs away. My conclusion is that I have 5 years to work really hard (i dunno how) at becoming a millionaire so I could afford one of those surrogate thingies. No way I'm putting myself through that shit. Nuh uh. And I'm not principled enough to go the childfree way.

I hate that my mom is ignoring me. I've been acting passive aggressive lately hoping that it will make her start a discussion with me (I'm too cowardly to say "I want to talk") and she kinda just acts like everything is fine. I can't tell if she's being nice and forgiving or if she simply cares so little. I want to die

In a self pitying mood so here goes..
Am I literally unloveable and unapproachable? Why is it that everything I touch withers and fucking dies. Why is it that I have not realized any of my goals thus far. Not a single one. Ive wanted to go to Japan since I was 12, and did I? I wanted to be a pilot.

I think I just broke up with my new bf, someone who is super attractive and funny and seemed to love me back. I don’t know if it is just PMS but I just can’t see myself happy in any relationship and I was expecting him to do the same thing to me. I hate how inferior I feel to him. He’s quite a masculine guy and I dress very masculine because of autism sensory issues and because I don’t like sexualizing myself or keeping up with fashions. I think he caught up in what I really am outside of le imageboard girl and became a bit rude and distant last time I was with him, though he still claims he loves me. It infuriated me because I know how these things end and I don’t think it’s enough to sacrifice my freedom over while he’s fine to do whatever he wants. I hate seeing men be men and not understand the female experience. No man ever will, even the feminine ones are still assholes and expect me to do everything for them. I want a relationship but every single one will leave me bending over for someone and changing myself while they stay the exact same.
I’ve accepted that any man who wants me will never see me as an equal. I guess that’s a given. At least when I’m single I can delude myself to think that I have the same level of freedom as men do.
I wish the female relationship experience wasn’t like this. Especially when you’re a friendless loser and the only time you get social interactions is when you are dating. I can never be my true self in relationships because my true self is not sexy and no man ever listens to my interests anyway. They’d go on about their interests for hours and I’d sit and ask questions about it because I like to care for people but they never care about mine, unless they are trying to police what I like and what I can’t do because of possessiveness. They just want to “fix” me (guys have literally said this) and make me into the perfect girl for them but they will never let me have any influence on their life, not that I should have to in the first place. It’s just so unfair and irritates me so much but I guess that’s life

I was going to pepper this with a dramatic narrative but I don't want to risk being too annoying.
I traded sandwiches with moid at work yesterday as an experiment to see if he likes my favourite flavour profile as I'd made my favourite sandwich. He loved it and I could tell he was thoroughly enjoying it and not just saying it.
I on the other hand was in some kind of flavour and texture fever dream. It was a sunday dinner leftover sandwich with thick lashings of english mustard where the butter should be. who puts cut up soggy roast potatoes on a sandwich? Why so much mustard? Why was the beef so dry? Why was the sage and onion stuffing so stiff and crispy?
On one hand it's great that he doesn't waste food, on the other I now have to wonder if what I ate was leftovers from the cooking or leftovers from his plate… and i'm too afraid to know the answer. I bought this on myself sure, but surely he would have refused trading if it was made of half-eaten dinner right? …right???

>>103488What makes you feel inferior to your bf (or ex-bf)? I hate what you're describing though. It's like they're all socially retarded. I have many female friends who have completely different interests than me, but we accommodate each other and find things in common to talk about (or otherwise indulge in each other's interests). Men either expect you to talk about what they like or nothing at all. I sometimes wonder if I'm just socially inept because I can never have close relationships with men, but then I realize that I get along with women just fine so it's just that they don't know how to have a conversation that isn't one-sided or completely surface level. Well, there are some men who I've been able to have decent conversations with but they're few and far in between. I understand your frustration and you honestly sound like a cool person, so I'm sure the way your bf is treating you doesn't have much to do with you as a person as his own misogyny or whatever.

Forever seething about things that are long past now and about things that haven't happened yet. I hate how pessimistic I am, it has obliterated any other personality trait I had. My head is full of negative thoughts almost all the time. I can't picture a future in which I am satisfied with my life, everything is boring, dull and pointless. The past is full of bittersweet memories first, and after that there's just a neverending sense of dispair. The more I hate myself, the more I hate everyone else, and vice versa. I would love to dive into a pool of clear cold water right now.

>>103750I don't think it's petty to still feel upset over something in the past. We all look back on our own past experiences and sometimes can still feel hurt by them. It would be petty if you actually did something immature and childish to him without honest communication but feeling upset over it is not petty at all. I think it's bad if your partner dismisses you so often and refuses to be a listener.

Just a financial vent. Compared to a lot of people I have things pretty good; I’ve got an apartment of my own that I can afford, a cat who I love, and a job that I actually enjoy.
My job is good because I get to work with animals and it’s so fun, but it doesn’t pay well at all. I’m not living paycheck to paycheck but it’s close, barely enough to save anything and that’s IF I don’t buy myself anything that month. I’ve been making new friends as of late and all of them are working in offices and make a lot of money. I got pulled into a little vacation trip with them to the west coast, but halfway through I realized that I had just spent like a 3rd of my savings and it made me miserable the rest of the trip. I hope one day I can not have to worry about this stuff so much, but I doubt it because I genuinely want to keep working with animals and i don’t make enough to go to college for a more lucrative job. Life is what it is I suppose I just wish I had been dealt a little bit of a better hand
