Op here, I'll kick the thread off

I am a deeply repressed ftm and very unhappy about it. I always wanted to be a pretty prince and do cute stuff with girls and be how other men aren't basically. But instead living with GD in a very patriachal place has made me bitter, petty, envious and moody. When I present femme I am actually quite attractive but I hate how that makes everyone around percieve me. I'm bi (pref women though) and really crave a relationship but whenever I come close to getting one I am disgusted by how the guys just seems me as a cute little thing and I just run away and isolate myself again. I have no one irl to talk to this about and no one that would understand if I opened up. I have thought of going on T but with my build I would just be a weird manlet, and whenever I present more masc people just see me as a dyke, which also makes me uncomfortable (not that being a masc lesbian is a wrong thing), but I just hate being seen that way, I wanna be seen as a guy. I have felt like this all my life and when I was younger I used to hope it's just a phase but now I am in my 20s and I feel the same, if anything I just feel even less attracted to men than before.

I try coping with watching cute romance movies/anime but they just make me feel even more bitter. Idk.

I struggle to see why you want to be ftm other than you don't like how people perceive you as a women? One of the more retarded reasons for wanting to be trans. I mean, I get it, but like you said I don't think being a manlet would make people perceive you better in most cases, especially romantically

Cause it's like everything is upside-down, the things you find natural and comforting are the complete opposite of reality. You hate everything about your body, and when something about you is masculine, you like that trait but others hate it. You wanna behave more masculine but others scold you for it. It probably doesn't sound that bad but it's very all-encompassing, everything you do is marked by this expectation/reality dissonance. Even how you interact with people, either you will look like a tomboy or just like a weirdo.

I'm sorry you're going through this, anon. Maybe you could try joining a club or something where you don't know anyone and use that as a safe space to fully embrace being a man. See if it helps with the dysmorphia?

Perhaps you should focus less on your body and more on your character. For both sexes, it's the person's character that most people are attracted to and not the outward appearance. Having confidence in your image, your body language, the ability to laugh at your imperfections, coherent speech – all of those qualities are important to shape a person's perception of you. And all of those qualities could be learned and mastered. I'd advise you to join an acting class or start doing some simple acting exercises – like these, for example –
https://actinginlondon.co.uk/exercises-improve-acting-skills/
Being able to perform in front of an audience, to play a character, to see yourself from an outside perspective can help you to stop caring about how other people see and judge you.

i’ve been in a 3 year long relationship with a moid and i have told everyone i know and have ever known i am straight but that’s a lie. i have dreams about falling in love with women and i have had crushes on girls albeit very little, only two. and i have never found a male physically attractive or sex w them arousing, but only men have ever approached me and i don’t know what to do about it. i don’t feel sexually aroused by my partner unless i’m inebriated and i do my best to clear my head and not think. i think i might be lesbian or at the very least bisexual but i have nobody to talk to about it. im just very confused. i had a dream today that drove me insane and waking up with him repulsed me. as always. but nobody knows i feel this way.

got sober for the first time this past year. like truly, fully sober; this whole time i think i’ve had maybe 3 glasses of wine total and i even quit vaping last month. it’s also been the most boring time of my life. I can’t go out with my friends the way i used to, i feel like i’m relegated to some sanitized kiddy corner of their life away from “real” shit. Or they side eye me like I think I’m better than them because my sobriety activates some personal insecurities. It does not help that I worked in a degen industry so prescription drug abuse, coke, weed even heroin (powder not iv) no one bats an eyelash.

There’s also the fact that I’m objectively actually boring as hell if I’m not manic or on something and I’ve also gotten quite fat without the appetite suppression. I ended up quitting my job like 5 months ago now because turns out my living expenses are actually quite low, and I’ve just sort of been laying about the whole time. I see a psychiatrist for antidepressants and I’ve tried therapy but it didn’t really work because boredom isn’t really a problem. I’ve got enough money to coast for the next decade but i get the feeling I’m probably gonna end up wasting it.

Working in customer service is really making me more antisocial than what I wanted to be. I thought maybe it’ll turn me into a more sociable person going around meeting new cool people. Instead I get shitted on for making simple mistakes like mishearing the size of their drink or getting their coffee wrong. I guess I’m not meant to be a bartender or a barista. I’ve worked back of house before and being a cook wasn’t so easy too. Worked in a warehouse too which was an extremely competitive workplace left me burnt out in less than a month. I can’t find any good place to fit in. No matter what I do as a living it’s hard to please a certain group. My only will is the money that’s coming and the good friends I’ve made from my current job. I could never be happy with any job.

I did my makeup for the first time in a while and I feel so ugly. I hate all of it - feeling the pressure to paint my face, and feeling ugly against modern beauty standards when I am healthy and young. A while ago I thought it would be fun to stream a few games that I like to play, but I realized I will never become popular because women need to be pretty to succeed in the public eye.

I've been on the hunt for a full-time job or freelance gigs for a while. The local market is tough without a college degree nor a stellar portfolio for the fields I'm trying to break into. I was a NEET who gave up on myself for a few years. My mental health's stabilized only recently to allow for job-searching outside of my current part-time gig (which is chill and close enough to home to justify the below-average wages).

I'm personable enough during interviews and face-to-face interactions. Friends in similar fields believe in my competence and intelligence. My problem is getting past the screening stage, when all they look at is your CV and portfolio. I'm currently involved in different creative side projects that will take a while to pay off, leaving little room to create smaller pieces for the resume. The freelance options around me are currently saturated. No clients are biting. I'm tired.

If I didn't have the privilege of savings then I'd be forced to return to the wageslave industry that I was in last year, which was my first actual job. I don't regret quitting even if I was due for an internal promotion; shit was toxic. It's just disheartening to get turned down for workshop after months of workshop and ghosted by recruiters/network contacts.

I know that this level of rejection is normal. My litmus for stress is low thanks to NEETdom and never trying to help myself until now. I'd love to get a degree if I could afford it or an intensive mentorship under someone who I could learn from. Sucks that opportunities like that are a pipe dream in this economy, in this mortal coil. I'm reaping what I sowed and tossing assorted seeds like mad over infertile loam.

I don’t understand why I always have this underlying irritation towards other women that varies from indifference to annoyance/anger/envy/hate. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always be the one to cherish and celebrate my girlfriends, but at some point I start to notice the minimum flaws get under my skin. When I’m on public and I see a woman of my age who’s well presented, there’s always this thinly veiled hostility being born inside of me, like she’s “competence”. It’s like female cats: they tolerate to be around each other for some periods of time, but under the surface the hatred it’s boiling. I don’t know if this has to do with my education, my early years, my mother (I have a very good relationship with her btw) or whatever. It’s more like a feeling, not a rational thought. Or maybe that’s what I want to believe. Wish I could erase this layer that separates me and my perception from other women.

I just broke off my relationship. It just wasn’t for me and I think it was the right decision, but I lost my friend group with the breakup (no hatred, they just were friends with my ex first) and I’ve been feeling a little alone lately because of that and just kinda shitty all week since. I wish I wouldn’t feel this way, because being single is definitely better for me than continuing that in relationship, but either way it’s just been bad for my anxiety and mood

Good christ but i am a loathsome, bitter, incorrigible bitch. I see parents on a flight. Expensive pram. Faux name brand luggage, and Im brimming with inexplicable hate, and disgust. Why am i like this. These are normal people. These people are normal and all i want is to gouge my eyes out so i wont have to look at them. Picture of domestic perfection. One day i will settle into that mold like a prime fucking heffer.
I am ashamed and embarrassed of my misanthropy. I want to enjoy life but i just keep spewing vitriol, unwarranted. A childhood friend of mine is in Harvard medical school. I hate this so goddamn much. I hate who i am. Ive always hated who i was. And always hated that time and circumstance would correct my course, but im worse and worse every day.

yeah I did this, because of ptsd from childhood things as well as the pandemic making me borderline agoraphobic. This year I have been coming out of my shell a lot and have started to go to board game shops and making friends and hanging out on the weekends. It’s been hard but rewarding! A lot of the people I have been interacting with are nerdy moids but usually they’re nice enough, I think the fact that they’re shy around women makes them so much more tolerable. There are women there too but I haven’t made any good friends with them so far. Baby steps nona, you will get there you just have to force yourself out in public scenarios and it will get easier over time

>mfw jobless brother judges me for not helping our mum with cooking
I won't pretend I'm not a lazy arse but he's literally jobless.

If he really wanted to help her out and take work off her shoulders so she can relax more, he could just take over all the household chores since he's got all the time in the world instead of sitting in front of his computer 90% of the day. He only makes meals for himself and judges me for being a burden on our mum. If he really cared about her, why does he never cook an additional portion just for her? Why does he think it's my responsibility and not his?

I think I've had depression for most of my life and that's why I don't get better.
I remember being really pessimist and hateful as a child, as I teen I used to self harm and be suicidal, I stopped once I leave highschool since that environment was toxic for me and I got better, however there were still moments I wanted to die or hated my body.
I had a good year in college but then pandemic happened and I spent 3 years doing nothing, I have few friends that I rarely see, I've gotten used to never leaving my room or my house, being terminally online, I keep crying really easily, I keep getting sad whenever I think if I'll get a boyfriend or not, I'm still struggling to find a job.
I don't know probably I've never been able to feel better since I don't know how to live without feeling like garbage all the time, I've been to therapy multiple times and I was once medicated as a teen but I don't feel like it did anything to me, every time I think I've gotten over it I have another mental breakdown.

For fuck’s sake for fuck’s fucking sake do not let yourself be coerced into a relationship with a brown moid. Do not. These scrotes are trash. They are walking fucking bags of saggy, hairy, semen encrusted flesh. They are soulless husks. They are rats, all of them, who scurry about ruining good women and turning them into their maids. For fuck’s sake every time i see a white girl meekly serving some oompa loompa looking fuck I am filled with such sadness for her. This isn’t a case of “leave our men alone”. This is a case of arab/muslim/brown girls being taught at their mothers’ knees that men are trash and should never be trusted fully. Are white girls devoid of such survival instinct? Fuck. If i see one more girl sopping wet and turning into a housemaid for some neanderthal looking caveman fuck i will rampage.

I think my boyfriend has a thing for a girl that he used to be friends with but I don’t know how to approach it.
It started when he was going to send me something on instagram and I saw her namn pop up and asked who that was. He told me it was an old friend he met on our second date when we went second hand shopping and that she texted him happy easter afterwards.
He also follows her podcast and has liked EVERY picture since easter but hasn’t commented.

I made an innocent comment during lunch about my childhood dream career being Aviation. I know now as I knew then that it was a pipe dream because I’m vertically challenged. Besides, getting a pilot’s license from a private academy was a money sink, and public aviation cursus required one to sign away their civil rights for a decade and some change in the military. It was just a little fun comment anyways, and I never feel wistful or bitter about it because it was never meant to be.

My mother launches on this tirade about me being so short because I’d spent most of my formative years wasting away at a desk studying and reading. That’s not a sound observation. I’m short because she’s short as was my grandmother as was her mother before her. It’s just genetics. But my mother’s so caught up in this emotional whirlwind, and she concludes “and at the end, your academics didn’t amount to anything.”

This struck me as ludicrous because: A. This is something I would profess about myself because I’m depressed and dissatisfied with my performance and with my life. B. She was the one who pushed me to bury my head in textbooks because she believed in the archaic social mobility model. C. On an objective scale, I did not fail. I graduated on time with a degree and internships and friendships and a network. I did not miss a single milestone. However since she’d always pushed me to excel, the fact that I underachieved is a defacto failure.

I said as much and she just quieted. It bothers me that she can think this way. It’s one thing for ME to think this way, because I can always dismiss these thoughts as irrational depressive rantings. But for her to validate it? It give credence to these tormenting ideas.

Recently I've been feeling like I'm some "perpetually blank slate" human. Even if life isn't a checkbox, there are unarguably checks 99% of people have had checked or should eventually. Some of them off the top of my head would be:

☐ Having a personality - like being interesting to talk to. I'm seeing more people than ever not caring about what I say, who I am, or what I've done. My presence and personal value that was already atomic is now subatomic.
☐ A support network
☐ Decent intelligence, with decent ability to think critically and discuss at least semi-complex topics (I'm graduating college and still won't have this. Embarrassing.)
☐ Romantic and sexual experience. Kinda crazy to think how even most of those more socially inhibited than me have some. I used to be part of a forum full of people with severe social anxiety, where even there most people had some form of real experience - even if just online LDRs. Even most women here seem to have actually dated someone, at some point - even if just some 4chan scrote they've only seen through webcam.
☐ Going off the other point, I absolutely can't form any kind of substantial human connections. I haven't even said anymore more than "Hello" to my roommate since she moved in. I stop talking to anyone I don't see on a consistent, in-person basis. I went from being a person who had a dozen online friends, but no in-person ones, to someone who only ever calls my mom or dad.
☐ Dreams, goals, hobbies. Well I had those too and pursued them relentlessly, but now due to a variety of circumstances ended up screwing myself over because of doing so. I guess I have to be a hamster in a wheel or else it's over.
☐ Independence/mobility, being an adult..even if only in just appearance. I still get driven around everywhere by my family because of not being able to drive. Most of my peers are or have already long permanently moved several towns away. They are or have already long started stable careers. I'm graduating but looking at being unemployed in my field for awhile. Even if I did I'd continue being too non-existant, around peers that have completely decked-out LinkedIn profiles, doing research for professors, being in three different clubs and being VP in at least one, group photos everywhere, "Great job! I know you're going places!" by professors and recruiters in the comments, etc.

Basically, I have just evolved into the ultimate ghost - floating aimlessly, and coming and going with no trace of my existance anywhere. Other than social media's data servers I guess. My only wish was to live averagely yet I can't even manage averagely doing or averagely having any of those. Maybe living so reclusively is some subconscious attempt to hide how shit and dull I am. Because at this point I'm someone who would either just bore someone to tears or cringe at how naive and unintelligent I really am.

>Mother is also mad because you (according to her) didn't study enough and get a perfect GPA

That's rough nona. It's normal (I think) to feel like you've "failed" every now and again, that feeling kicks us into action and prevents complacency; it seems like you're aware of this which is good. I'm sorry your mother is using you as an emotional punching bag.

Don't worry, you're (unfortunately) perfectly normal individual in today's environment. You are however self-aware enough to identify these issues and compare it with how an ideal person should behave. I have fallen down this depressive spell quite a bit by comparing myself to my peers, my friends, on Instagram and social media, how they have better lives and I'm just a background character in someone's else movie. It took a while to realize almost everyone is like this, most spend time on their phones, focuses on meaningless pop culture news, does things only to show off on social media. It's not to justify that "oh everyone is mediocre so why bother trying", its to put you at ease with normalcy - there's nothing wrong with being a blank slate, it means you can fill it however you want.

i spend all my money buying expensive clothes makeup hair bags but its all pointless because i have no friends to go out with and im scared to go out by myself. i wish i could be one of the social girls who go to parties with their friends. i have no idea why people say “university is the best 4 years of your life” because all i do is sit alone at home after class. im in my 2nd year and nothing has changed

There's a very cute boy in uni. I caught him staring at me the first day of class and we locked eyes once in class; he sits a few rows in front of me. I try my best not to stare at him but I like to think he sneaks glances at me sometimes. He makes class a bit more interesting

Thanks. However I do feel the issue goes beyond mediocrity since I mentioned:

>My only wish was to live averagely yet I can't even manage averagely doing or averagely having any of those.


It is hard to explain, but somehow I feel like a being with no thought process, not a single thing or person that ties or grounds me anywhere, no tangible way to have made myself even slightly dissimilar at least in the way everybody else is. I think back to Will Smith's quote (And yes say what you want about him, but it's a good quote) "If you're not making someone else's life better, then you're wasting your time. Your life will become better by making other lives better." I suppose, then, that it's impact I feel like I need. I'm all about pragmatism, so living a pointless life is a huge no. I decided not to go to a prestigous uni, because "didn't need it". I decided I'm not interested in the idea of fame and celebrityhood, because "didn't need it". I decided not to pursue any job choice where my true passions lay because I staunchly believe that passion is overrated and professionally detrimental in its own way. However, I have nothing to show in any other way either. In not being incompetent, in being a charismatic person even if just BS'ing (Which people still care more about that someone that tries to not be seen or heard),

>I'm just a background character in someone's else movie


This is how I've always lived as well. I will surely go out like I was never even alive at all. The only reason I don't an hero is BECAUSE it doesn't make a difference.

Obviously NTAYRT and know you probably didn't mean it, but just wanted to say this also felt like a slap in the face because I also have a mother who has always used me as an emotional punching bag like anon and, coincidentally, have been told my whole life that I write well. I only ever had this one real skill that I've ever been noticed for, for but now have no where to put it or no one to care either. With how inept I've always been at every little thing, I feel like I will truly only be cursed to look on at the sidelines at people who live the life I want to live or stay silent the moment someone right next to me starts talking about how much they like writing.

Latino men can be very attractive, but most of them are ghetto misogynistic trash. There are no respectable males in my family except for my uncles that come from an older generation where they respect their wives, love their children, work hard and love to cook. Too bad they sacrificed so much for their sons only for them to turn out to be misogynistic pedo scum that will never amount to anything. It's hilarious watching my male cousins get older, bloat, still live with their parents and never getting married lmao. They deserve it. I wish much luck to my female cousins tho

Do you feel an emptiness inside as like nothing has happened in your life, nothing to show for, and nothing is gonna happen ever? Feelings of wasted potential, forgotten dreams, living without a purpose… Like you have not grown at all in years, while the rest of the world moves ahead, and you're left behind. Not even moving forwards but regressing inside yourself (used to have friends but now can't even have conversation with your roommate). Its when days blend one onto next into a bland routine and nothing's changed, you haven't mattered at all. To anyone, or anything. I've had feelings like them, sometimes strong, some days they mellow out, but the feeling's there. Sometimes it feels why even bother trying, I have nothing to add to someone's day, nothing meaningful to talk or even contribute a work. Im useless and even if I try I'm only a bother to others. Merely a shadow existing without fruition.

Yes. There have been times I've been taken aback thinking about how radically different my life had become, just from things like moving from place A to B and from school A to B, but I've spent the last several years in the same town, in the same musty apartment room and school. Just going to class, work, and back. And yet throughout that time my stepbrother and cousin have both gotten married and had children, I lost both my maternal grandparents and my last living paternal grandparent, the friend that used to be closest to me in high school got engaged, etc. I remain in one place but still end up feeling the weight of transience around me.

There's an important milestone I should be approaching soon, my graduation, and I have no plans to either attend my ceremony or even so much as take a photo. Or do literally anything to immortalize it, other than just grab my degree and leaving. That's what I did in high school (No yearbook or senior trip either, despite literally 99% of my graduating class getting one and going on one) and that's what I'll likely do now. Even if I've worked 10x as hard for my degree than I ever did for my diploma. To be fair, I'm far from sentimental and don't really like "celebrating" anything. Not even my own birthday. Just one night ordering a bunch of Mexican food and watching TV, and I'm good. Though I do sometimes wish I could treat the fruit of my efforts better…I move through life so apathetically at this point that no success feels like any success. I probably haven't been "happy" since I was 6 years old. If I won the lottery, I'd probably just go to sleep and then forget about it.

>I wonder how you got this thinking. Is it from the hobbies you used to pursue? Pragmatism is good but you can't live on logic alone.


Yes. All these:

>Creative Writing

>Translating
>Languages in general
>Philosophy

have no real future. At least not by themselves. Yet coincidentally are the only things I would have been passionate in, for a post-secondary education. I know I can live by having them as a hobby and I've realized I don't really mind having them as more than that though, so I think it's okay. I have interest in the STEM field I'm in too, and am not wholely bored by it, but I'll just never be one of those people to go so far as be passionate about it. My mind is pragmatic, but it's not exactly logically-wired as the one of someone who is meant for STEM.

I’m a lesbian. I only recently came to terms with this in my mind about a week ago after being in denial about it for about 2 years. I’ve forced myself to like men for so long but I can’t hide how I feel anymore. surprisingly, my dad is quite supportive of gay people and him and my older brother have always suspected that I’m lesbian but my mum on the other hand has told me before that if I was ever lesbian she’d be disappointed because to her it’d mean I wouldn’t be able to have biological kids meaning she wouldn’t have grandchildren when that isn’t true at all. It terrifies the fuck out of me honestly, I don’t want to have to hide who I am but I also don’t want to be a disappointment to my mum. but I also think it’s so unfair and selfish to only think about yourself and what you want instead of your daughter when it’s literally her life. I can’t keep forcing myself to like men either, every time I picture myself being romantic with a man I just cringe.

I graduated like a year ago with a computer information science degree, and I still haven't found a job yet. It's my own fault, I never took any internships and I don't have any real work experience out side of class, but I was supposed to graduate during the height of covid and I couldn't find any internships. I feel like I fucked my whole life up. It genuinely feels like there aren't any jobs to apply to that aren't looking for people with years of experience. I wrote my resume to talk myself up but in interviews I always bomb the shit out of them. Am I really so retarded?
My mom told me I should probably just find a retail job for now and I think she's right, but I don't wanna apply for retail because to me it feels like once I go into retail I'm never coming out of it. I know that's not necessarily true but I can't believe any of this happened. I even applied for low level office jobs. I can't find anything right now. I'm so ashamed of myself, I kinda wanna throw myself in the river. I know that sounds like shitty suicidebaiting but Idk how else to desrcibe this feeling. Is this all I've been fighting for? I fought 25 years of my life to get good grades despite my poor health, I fought to go to school through abhorrent sexual harassment and harassment from my peers, just so I could go work at a department store? Why didn't I drop out when I was sixteen? Why did I test to get into a good state school? Why did I fight for this? Who am I fighting for? I don't have any boyfriend I wanna move in with or get married to. I don't have any kids. I don't have any goals in life. Have I really just been fighting for myself? But I don't give a shit about myself. Why did I do all this work? I know it was so I could make a 'comfortable living', but I don't even have anything I want.
I know that if I'm thinking like this, it should be no big deal, just go back to working at mcdonalds like I used to inbetween semesters but… I don't know. I don't know what's wrong with me. Maybe I really am just a lazy piece of shit. Maybe the reason I haven't found a job is because I've been secretly self-sabotaging. Maybe I've been looking for a reason to give up. I don't think this was the reason a few months ago. A few months ago I was trying my heart out. But I'm so tired. I just wanna give up on everything. I'm fighting and fighting but I don't even know why I'm fighting. What for? I'd be fine even if they used my organs for dog food or something. I just don't wanna keep fighting to barely stay alive.

so you'll get a retail job for now. then, when you find an entry level office job, you can quit the retail job. then, you'll find a job more adjacent to your degree. you might have to work your way up over time, but that doesn't make you a failure.

i understand your pain and my mom has said the same thing in regards to me being a lesbian. if u havent already, i think you should speak to her if you can (and its safe to do so). she’ll eventually get over it if she truly cares about you, which im sure she does. you can also always reassure her that there are other options and that may make things play out smoother/give her time to settle into the idea of not having biological grandkids, even if you dont intend on having any at all. no matter what though, u deserve love and happiness and you are no less worthy for being lesbian and/or not having children. <3

That's how I feel too. I am getting to online assessments occasionally but I can't pass those because it's like I've forgotten to code at all. Right now I know that's what's standing between the way of me and an offer, but the good thing is that's something less personality-driven and more study-driven. I'm planning to work on projects to pad my resume, too. If you're in the same boat, we just have to "hobby" this too for awhile.

It's been bugging for me awhile, I feel like one of my friends has turned into an asshole. He expressed disinterest in talking to me almost the entire time after we graduated high school and while attening the same university, then suddenly called me a few months back to extend a job offer because I'm a woman and his company was looking for a diversity hire. He even invited me to hang out, but again, this sudden behavior has come off really suspicious… And I can't help but feel there is a subtle obnoxiousness in the way he communicates now. I can't quite put my finger on it, but he kind of seems to talk like a prick. He asks me repeated questions to things I've already answered, just gave me a "😅" for telling him I don't drive, still doesn't show genuine interest in talking with me.. All signs of narcissists I've dealt with repeatedly. With them, there was also always this nagging feeling like I was being covertly looked down on and laughed at even, from the most minor remarks they would make. And he used to be a really nice guy in high school, so it's a shame if he's turned into one of those.

Anyone here had success leaving their 3rd world shithole? I really want to go to university but it's so expensive here and the public ones keep making protests because the government never pays the teachers so everyone ends up graduating 6-8 years after getting in. I can't leave my house with my phone because someone will steal it, I can't dress well because someone will attack me and steal my shoes, jacket, etc. The whole country has a mentality that if you get robbed it was your fault, because you can't just exist, you need to pay attention to everything everywhere you go in order to prevent getting robbed/killed/raped. I live in a small town and the city next to me ranks top 50 most dangerous cities in the world, and it's gotten 'better' because before that it landed in the top 5. I feel like there is no hope for me and I can't escape from here. I just want to at least be able to listen to music with headphones at the park without the constant fear of getting robbed. If anyone was in thw same situation and was able to get out please share your experience, I really need hope right now

One way to do it is to go full weeb (Japan or any other country you want to go to).

I've been there. I empathize with you. I too detest the emotional upheaval depressive thoughts bring. You can't consent to contemplation, the need to extricate and extract is inevitable and what you glean from your ruminations can never exist as something cohesive, it always presents itself as a separate unit, divorced from the greater whole. You begin to feel like a leaf in the wind.

But it's going to be alright, there were times in my life where I was quite close to ending it all, I had no friends, no family and no relationships that I could look upon and consider worth salvaging.

That wagon analogy is quite pertinent, it never does feel like you'll get out of the mud. It's like every value you worked hard to attain, every pure emotion you felt, its all being sucked into this uncaring, ceaseless void. Your point on algebra is something I feel deep in my heart, I'll sometimes forget properly express myself in my native language, I forget where I live or what route to take despite having traveled through these roads a million times myself. It's tiring and the consistent gauntlet of failures depletes your desire to make something of yourself. I hate it, I hate it so much. But everyday I force myself to hold onto one positive thought. Something that isn't contaminated by my rigorous armchair psychoanalysis and that carries me over for the day.

Reading helped a great deal. Having to mentally follow the thought process of another person allowed me to escape this wretched shell of poisonous introspection and begin to mediate on things that were outside my own realm of experience. I don't mean to talk down to you, when you've gone through similar emotions you feel compelled to help another, even if its means restating things they already knew. I hope you get better nona, I am rooting for you.

Congratulations on your upcoming graduation nona! Even if you don't feel like it, its an achievement with many more to come forward. It's only a start to the new wide world. You may tie up some few ends in your college. Maybe meet up with your roommate and say "Hey sorry we never talked a lot but thank you for all these times, you gave me assurance that someone is with me". It's awkward for sure, but it would give you (and your roommate) some closure to your time together.

I kinda get the feeling like the changes in your life are happening to you, as opposed to you actively making that change happen. Everybody needs some agency in life, something to make them feel as a part of this world. Some would say it's "validation" as if it's a bad thing (its only bad when you start chasing it) but it's a needed stimuli.

The hobbies you mentioned have a degree of creative thinking. Like a bit on logical pathfinder and a bit of emotion flair . But what you said is true - theres no career on them. They help in various ways in other applications.

>Never wanted to celebrate my birthday. Just Mexican food

Well that's a celebration in itself. It's normal to grow out of birthdays, but, please don't take it the wrong way, I'm feeling as though you haven't experienced a celebration (big or small) and slowly hardened into not celebrating anything. It's one thing to have celebrations in past and have realized their pointlessness, and another to have been deprived and defining them as pointless. I don't know if that's how it came to be, I'm just throwing stuff that comes to my mind.

Lately I can’t stop thinking about how at one of my old jobs, one of my coworkers (who is a heavily family influenced mormon that’s engaged to some guy now), bit half of a banana from my mouth, and was ridiculously close to my lips. Giggling afterwards while I was just taken aback for a second. She had the brightest smile, she was blonde with sunkissed freckles from us working outside, part of me feels like, in another life, we would have grown so much closer. It hurts to think about. Just like how it hurts to think about the girl I was closest to in high school. We would hold hands in the hallway as a joke, I had short hair, so she would sometimes ask me if she could take pics of us together, and if I could pretend to be her boyfriend to make whatever guy of the week she liked jealous. One day she looked me in the eyes, and said, “Nona, I wish you could have been born as a guy, then you could have been my boyfriend!”, she laughed after saying that, then went back to cyberstalking moids on her phone.

I wish I felt okay with my feelings, I feel so out of control about allowing myself to feel this sense of attraction that I have towards other women. I don’t know why so much shame is instilled in me. I wish I could run away from my life and be somewhere where I feel free to exist. I just wish I could freely live my life. I feel weighed down by all the expectations I must live up to.

I have a moid friend. I'm not proud of this fact, but a few years ago when I was tapering off of Benzos and rediscovering my anxiously oriented self I developed an unhealthy relationship with him. A friendship with non platonic allusions. A long distance situationship if you will.

Unfortunately, mental unwellness attracts mental unwellness and this scrote is sporadically depressive/neurotic (just like me™). I won't toot my own horn, but I really try to contain my crazy and only actively subject myself to it. Yes it's a species of masochism, and yes my nefarious mood leaks to infect my loved ones (apparently sullen-ness is unacceptable in a group context).

With hindsight, I chalked the whole experience to an unhealthy attachment born to cope with my then present loneliness, insecurity, ect. Apparently, this consensus is lost on him. He would get stimulated by certain life changes, and when the novelty tapers off he'll go back to hyperfixating about the concept of me. Sending messages. Asking to talk. Wanting to be entertained. I found this excess of attention invasive the first time around, but there was also an undercurrent of barely curbed affection, and hard to quell guilt. When the brain rot from all the love/attention bombing finally settled in

Now he's doing this shit again. Anguish dumping, volunteering mundane tidbits of information, saying he "Can't get me off his mind".

I'm blithely disregarding every expression of affection that comes through his texts. It's viscerally disgusting to me. The memory of my heartbroken, pining ass from May is too raw for me to acknowledge his newfound interest. We had agreed that we were in love (I disagree with that sentiment now because love is something that is immune to circumstance) but that circumstances, like us being long distance, were unfavorable. Why would I humor a cunt who decided once that I wasn't enough. Someone who is so changeable he'll only gravitate to me when things are so bad mentally he needs an external tether to stabilize himself.

I'm rambling. I'm resentful. Because last year I humored him (I was inclined to, I was attached). But then it slid into such a painful mental turmoil that I have no desire to treat him in good faith anymore. To comprise the uncomplicated dynamic of friendship with the pollution of feefees. Fuck that.

Nonas, this is a question that used to keep me up at night.

So I grew up in a typical thirdoid muslim family. But my parents were overeducated, progressive principled idealists more than religiously conservative, so i had zero religious upbringing.

One cultural aspect they (at least my mom) did NOT discard was all the virginity/virtuousness/reputation discourse. So naturally, when my mom caught me rubbing my clit at 6 and being genuinely curious at my anatomy, she told me little girls who touch themselves there, die.

Anyways, I sort of discovered and maintained the habit of dry humping as a light non penetrative form of masturbation long before I understood exactly what masturbation/sex and its implications were. I gaslit myself into believing that what I was doing was ok because I wasn’t actually inserting anything in there. I did struggle with a lot of guilt about it, but as i grew older/became less sheltered and more exposed to just general degeneracy, i became careless and nonchalant about my little ritual. If anything it’s so sanitized and juvenile to even be considered a covert activity.

Anyways, what are the odds that my hymen’s gone bye bye. Feels kinda wistful to surrender that little piece of useless shame laden meat to the banister of my bed. But c’est la vie.

He didn't write me a letter for my birthday this year. He tried telling me he didn't have time and they take so long to write but there's literally 365 days before my birthday every year, you can take a minute at any time to write stuff down and work on a two page letter. I wanted a letter more than anything and he just didn't do it.

He also got me a locket and I like it except it has the first letter of my name engraved on it. I never liked that kind of stuff, I wonder if I ever told him. my mom used to get me some first initial/name charms when I was young and I didn't like any of them. It's like trying to give a personalized gift with no personality, a first name basis gift that's like a nametag. I feel bad for not liking the locket, what are you even supposed to do in that case.

Be honest and say you don't like it and explain why. Explain that you wanted a letter and why you wanted the letter. Otherwise you just keep getting the same trash over and over. If he's smart he'll write you a letter in the coming weeks.
I'm frankly sick of excessive gift-giving. I've stopped giving birthday presents in the hope that I'll stop receiving them. It has seemed to work. No more useless junk that's just going to contribute to landfill. It's a very first-world problem, but it weighs on my psyche.

I’ve spent the last year in a relationship despite my disdain of moids. At first it was great, he listened to me, he was interested in me, made me feel like he genuinely liked and adored me. Eventually it changed - we had a few fights, nothing crazy but he blames that for changing how he feels. He likes me less and it’s painfully obvious. We had a fight two days ago and it was the first one in a month and it was over nothing - I got upset with him for road rage. Haven’t spoken since really, right now I can hear him typing to another girl on discord a “friend”. I just want it to be over. I feel so foolish, I really opened myself up to this man and thought it was special. I just want to be alone Nonas. Genuinely. I am spent.

I'd urge you to reach out to him about that matter, It is concerning for you that he is showing affection to one of his past nearby friends of the opposite gender, but that doesn't mean necessarily that he harbors feelings for that past friend. You should definitely bring up that he showing this affection towards girls he knows/knews bothers you, and by pretty reasonable causes.

Tell him, "ok, if you want to go out with another girl, you should set me up to go out with one of your guy friends. :)" or "I should be allowed to go on a date with another guy, then".
You need to activate his own jealousy and make him realize you could cuck him at any time and he is worth about as much as roadkill if he wants to play the cheating game. Women are worth so much more than men it's not even funny. You might like him but it's his loss if he wants to leave.

That, and also you saying it's Discord friends immediately makes me question if it's even a real girl or if he's getting catfished by a troon. Then he'd REALLY be making an ass of himself, lol

Just found out yesterday that my best friend started dating a moid who is 13 years older than her, although she had told me before that she did not approve large age gap relationships. But that's not all, she met him at some shady party less than two weeks ago.
Three weeks before I jokingly flirted with her (she's bisexual) and she harshly cut me off, saying that she is too traumatized (she has severe ptsd because of long story of abuse in her family) and not ready for relationships and intimacy. But I guess, random old moid is better than best friend who she knows for a long time.
I know, I am just being jealous, but seriously?

I’m losing touch of who I am and worse, i have such a flimsy grasp on the reality of my situation that im unable to define a direction or implement a solution to my problems.

Ive propped my sense of selfhood against tangible concepts like my family, school, friends. Then it was depressed this and anxious that, and I was a walking fucking struggle. Every minute act i engaged in was generated by my mental instability. The little useless hyperfixations, the longings, the thoughts.

I can’t do this anymore. I can’t live like this anymore. My brain cannot keep up. I cannot abide silence, but the cardboard-esque quality of parasocial relationships is so isolating.

I don’t even think i can love properly. I just attach and detach at random instances. I have the one friend. And my social presence has waned so much it’s practically not there. I understand that loneliness is a permanent fixture, a necessity of the 20’s. And it’s not painful, it’s just sad.

Knowledge creates awareness, and I wish i hadn’t familiarized with mental health. It’s one thing to feel concretely that something must be wrong and another to placebo yourself into an illness. Can’t launch a pity “woe is le me” party either. Can’t lament the loss of my dreams and potential because i don’t remember my past self. So fucking far removed.

Sorry nona, I am always very forgetful when it comes to replying.

>Even if you don't feel like it, its an achievement with many more to come forward. It's only a start to the new wide world. You may tie up some few ends in your college. Maybe meet up with your roommate and say "Hey sorry we never talked a lot but thank you for all these times, you gave me assurance that someone is with me". It's awkward for sure, but it would give you (and your roommate) some closure to your time together.


Wow, thank you, I only hope so because I have an unending dread I'll either spend the rest of my life hopelessly trying to break into my field or completely give up trying and end up just going into something else that I'll be less happy in. Also to admit that, as much as I have defended the value of college, end up being one of those people that has to say "college is useless" because nothing really panned out for me after finishing it - Despite what a light at the end of the tunnel it seemed like.

About my roommate, well she's already the fourth one I've had in this apartment (They've been switching out every year), and I'm moving out at the end of this year so I haven't really found it worth it saying anything but I don't want to seem like I was intentionally horrible or impolite or something, so maybe I could just for that.

>I kinda get the feeling like the changes in your life are happening to you, as opposed to you actively making that change happen. Everybody needs some agency in life, something to make them feel as a part of this world. Some would say it's "validation" as if it's a bad thing (its only bad when you start chasing it) but it's a needed stimuli.


What do you mean? I am usually a passive bystander but I've gone out of my way to do things like go through college, search for jobs, pursue something I've always wanted to do. It rather feels like, even though I felt a little bit of agency from those things for awhile, I went straight back to being a passive bystander again. I really don't want to live as an NPC but that's how I've always lived - especially because of having had some really severe social anxiety and avoidant traits throughout my childhood (Was practically selectively mute for awhile in 5th/6th grade), so I don't know how not to. I thought accomplishing the things I have, especially with how non-trivial they are, would have boosted my confidence somewhat by now. But if anything I have become an even more withdrawn, avoidant person. I seem to only get worse and not better, no matter what happens.

>Well that's a celebration in itself. It's normal to grow out of birthdays, but, please don't take it the wrong way, I'm feeling as though you haven't experienced a celebration (big or small) and slowly hardened into not celebrating anything


Yes, my family always made my birthday about themselves, not about me, and forced me into celebrating it with them so that's one reason I'm turned off by it. After several shitty birthdays in a row, I kind of went from dreading them to being completely apathetic and wishing no one would even bring it up to me. I just want to treat it like another day.

im drunk so idk if this will make any sense but my mom used to be a model for a few years in her 20s and as a kid i always wanted to look like her when i was an adult but now that im 21 i look nothing like her and feel like i look like shit and that my features are all disproportionate. whats even worse is that my younger sister used to be basically my twin when we were kids but now as she has gotten older she looks more and more like my mom. i feel like such an asshole being jealous of her but i cant help feeling depressed about it sometimes when i see her. especially cause she always has friends over and im a friendless neet since i graduated college and moved home in the spring and i feel they must all think im gross cause i always have my hair messy, wearing pajamas at 3pm, probably got stains on my shirt. idk what to do to stop feeling so bitter cause my sisters really nice and were close so i dont want to end up being mean to her because of me being so insecure.

Honestly working on self-esteem is the best way to deal with stuff like this. And the best way to do that is 1) not compare yourself to your sister and 2) think about what you like about yourself! Listen, when we compare ourselves to others and our self-esteem is in the gutter, you’re playing a losing game. No matter what we do, it’s never going to be good enough. You can’t change genetics or that your sister has an easier time making friends, but you can change how you see yourself. Also, being jealous of someone doesn’t make you an asshole. It’s really normal (I think) to look at someone else and think ‘I wish I had what they had.’ It’s worth distinguishing feeling jealous of someone versus feeling bitter. I also don’t think I’m the most pretty person out there and I don’t have a ton of friends, but those aren’t the only metrics to measure ourselves by. The friends I do have tell me I am introspective and insightful. I love my hobbies and that I can pursue them freely without worrying how other people think about me. Those are things I like about myself and I choose to focus on that rather than on the things that other girls have that I don’t.

it's useless to work on your self-esteem if you value scrotes and their views. literally who cares about how pretty you are, are you trying to be a model? some people may think you're gross, and? did you want to befriend them? did someone force you to be a friendless neet? pretty sure it's a comfy life so just keep enjoying yourself

Damn I'm so fed up right now. I try really hard to keep it together and handle things in a mature way. I can be a little avoidant sometimes, but for the most part I try my best to be understanding of others, non-judgmental, and to challenge myself instead of avoiding things just because they make me uncomfortable. I try to set boundaries and not immediately react on my emotions. I tell myself to be understanding of others because I don't know what they're going through. And for what? I know it's naive of me to expect that I deserve a reward for trying my best to be a good person, but everything sucks right now. Life is a complete slog and I'm tired of trying to keep it together. But even if I wanted to, I can't have a meltdown. That's just not the kind of person I am. So I'll just have to keep going. Trying my best every day for nothing because there's nothing else I can do.

And I know that isn't true. There are things in my life I can be grateful for. But at least tonight I just want to vent and be miserable and bitter that I'm still such a loser and feel so empty even after trying so hard to do things right and be the better person. What the fuck.

A few words of kindness would mean a lot to your roommate. Or maybe it wouldn't. But still it would remain kind words. College is a weird place, its supposed to be the first outlook to prepare us for the wider world, but it's so far apart with knowledge it tries to impart. And all the experience about yourself is not even taught it you just infer from stuff that didn't work out. Well kinda like real life.

>What do you mean? I am usually a passive bystander but I've gone out of my way to do things like go through college, search for jobs, pursue something I've always wanted to do.

I didn't mean to say you didn't do things on your own in life, I meant on a smaller, everyday manner of living over your life. Its the everyday drivel, wake up and engage autopilot on your entire day. It took a long while for me to realize my achievements, no matter how big, don't give me that inner strength I hoped it would give me. Yes, a boost for a little while, a little high from achieving big in life, but it didn't fix my insecurities. It didn't fix my anger towards myself. It didn't make me a happier person. Just back at square one. This doesn't mean that getting to college or finding a job aren't meaningful, its just that smaller things in matter too. And each and every day, these small things make a big change.

Don't be too hard on yourself nona. These things, they take time. Take things at your own pace. Give yourself a little celebration however you like. Doesn't have to be your birthday to celebrate something.

It was always hard to have personal alone time growing up, my mom never allowed us to lock any doors (bedroom/bathroom), let alone use a shower curtain. She would go through my diaries, internet history, and phone.

The only thing I could do, was hide in the upstairs bathroom, very late at night, put my headphones on, and dance in front of the mirror for hours. It gave me so much joy, listening to the music and moving my body to the beat.

I knew back then, one day I would have roommates and not be able to dance anymore, because it would be "weird" to hide away for so long. I knew one day I'd have to stop dancing.

Well, that was a long time ago now. I moved away from my parents 6 years ago, and I've moved 10 times. Now I have my own home, and I can exist freely.

Every day, I spend at least an hour straight dancing. That doesnt count the random times I can dance throughout the day enjoying the privacy of my own home. I am happy to be alive now, and to enjoy life the way I want to.

I think I am going to try my hand at more woodworking next, maybe it will give me more satisfaction if I can use my hands for creating, especially if I can create something beneficial for myself, or my neighbors.

I know this will sound like shit advice but maybe you could give yourself 24h of self care and productivity to try to restore a little bit your mood. I have terrible PMDD symptoms for over a week so I know there's a lot of stuff you can't fix that easily, but small changes can make a difference. Anyways, here's a schedule:
>wake up at whatever time you need but don't stay in bed with your phone
>open window and let your bedroom ventilate for 20 mins
>brush hair, wash face and have a shower (hair included)
>have a healthy breakfast: 1 glass of water, fresh fruit/natural juice, milk/yougurt, bread/oats and some protein like ham or tuna, you don't have to eat a lot but a little bit of everything
>brush teeth
>close window, make your bed and tidy up your room a little bit while listening to music if you feel like doing it
>sit down, grab a piece of paper and write down at least 3 things you could do today
>try to at least choose an errand to run outside your home
>distribute your tasks: accomplish 2 before lunch and 1 after that or the other way around
>avoid procrastinating with your phone all morning
>have lunch, eat according to your hunger something home-made and treat yourself with a dessert
>brush teeth and refresh face
>rest a little bit after lunch and then try to finish your pending task(s) of the day
>slip into more comfortable clothes and write down on your paper 3 new tasks to do tomorrow
>relax at home: read, watch tv, browse CC, do some skincare routine…
>have dinner
>chill for a little bit more, improve your mood before going to sleep
I hope you feel better soon, anon. You know we are here for you. Not eating has devastating effects on our mood and energy levels. You don't sound retarded at all, just tired and depressed. Give yourself some time .

How can I tell if someone hates me?
I had this friend in college who I was close with, enough that we stayed at each other's places a couple times and attended various events together. We've since graduated but one day she just stopped being in contact with me and I honestly don't get why.
We still live in the same city so I actually saw her in person a couple times, and each time she didn't say anything and it was as if we were strangers. I have no idea what I could have done to her to warrant this, because we've never gotten into any fights before and we were talking normally until she stopped answering my messages and calls.
I suppose it doesn't matter that much if we're not in each other's lives anymore anyways but I saw her again recently and I'm asking myself questions all over again.

>A few words of kindness would mean a lot to your roommate. Or maybe it wouldn't. But still it would remain kind words.


I suppose. I'm more cold and distant to people than I've ever been, but it's never been because I want to be. It's because my communication skills have atrophied to the point of no return.

>College is a weird place, its supposed to be the first outlook to prepare us for the wider world, but it's so far apart with knowledge it tries to impart. And all the experience about yourself is not even taught it you just infer from stuff that didn't work out. Well kinda like real life.


Yes, I realized that even more when I did my internship. Less than 10% of what we were working on was taught to or in any way prepared for at school. I'm still baffled by how different it is. Honestly can't even blame employers for not caring only about "class" experience so much anymore, when I realize just how far removed college is from job training. On a first job, you're literally no more than a warm body in a chair trying to rely only on what you learned in school.


>This doesn't mean that getting to college or finding a job aren't meaningful, its just that smaller things in matter too. And each and every day, these small things make a big change.


Yes, this is probably where I went down the wrong path. I autistically hyperfocused on academic and career improvement, thinking my communication problems would sort themselves out eventually somehow and ignored them, because I have been having more pressing priorities. Maybe I've become "too" serious and goal-driven along the way. I can never relax and find joy in small things. I've become very impatient. For example, I thought I really like taking baths but the last few times I've tried soaking I couldn't do more than 10-15 minutes tops without getting fed up/too bored and getting out of the tub. I find no enjoyment from playing video games or browsing online, something I always did get enjoyment from in the past. My brain feels like it literally has no concept of a "reward" in a reward system. Just programmed to pursue goalposts that I detest having to do, anyway.

>Don't be too hard on yourself nona. These things, they take time. Take things at your own pace. Give yourself a little celebration however you like. Doesn't have to be your birthday to celebrate something.

I am autistic and it's made my life really hard. My mom really, really resented me having special needs, treated me really badly, didn't help me (I have siblings which she focused her affection on instead). One of her most common refrains (which I remember often because I am currently in college) was "You're never going to go to college, you're going to go to a home." Obviously socially and emotionally things weren't easy outside of home either and my public school system was not particularly good either. I always knew I was an imposition on others and felt like crap for making everything difficult for everyone.
I have actually been very successful in many ways as an adult, I've learned a lot of skills and I don't think my autism is going to ruin my life or prevent me from being happy. But it did prevent me from being happy during my childhood and that is something I regret a lot, I'll never get that back.

I always figured I would never have children, not because I don't like children (I love children) but because I'm asexual and don't have romantic impulses, so I can't get married, and also always thought I would be a bad mother because of my autism. But recently I've had a couple experiences which have made me really feel like I want to be a mother or at least take care of special needs kids. I usually cry quite rarely and it's hard to make me emotional but a few weeks ago I was talking to a friend and she was talking about an autistic kid who was mistreated, and I suddenly burst into tears. It was pretty embarrassing. But I just couldn't bear the thought of it. I felt like a Victorian woman who needed a fainting couch. Every time I read about mistreated children nowadays my heart starts hurting and I feel like I need to help. I know I can't make my childhood better now, it was what it was. But the idea of other people going through what I went through is really unbearable to me now and I feel like I can't not do anything. But, of course, I have no idea what I can possibly do.

I don't know how I could ever adopt or foster a special needs child (or have a child of my own - whatever its mental status of course) if I never can get married. (I know single mothers exist, but I would not want to be a single mother.) I don't have the social or emotional skills to be a teacher or a counselor or anything. I don't know what I can possibly do. But I can't stand the idea of kids being upset. I have a heart of glass nowadays and I'm too inept to do anything to help anyone. I have a mothering instinct with no outlet… and all my sympathy and pain comes from my identification with special needs children because of my own autism, but it's also my autism which I feel prevents me from ever being able to be helpful. I don't know. This sounds stupid I'm sure. sorry this is so long.

This will probably be my last post on an imageboard ever as an effort to follow through with my recovery, so I'll try and make it snappy (fat chance). It's the infamous carreychan

Having some time to reflect on my actions I just really want to say that I'm grateful for some of the support I received in my time on LC and occasionally here despite going postal and making myself seem about as likable as a dictator. To anyone who I offended with my tirade on hair colors: it's not like me to be so envious, broken and angry, and I regret the venom I spat in my last posts. That's not like me. Snark towards Jenny McCarthys autism hatred aside, I do believe Jim abused her and there are no perfect victims. understanding now that I got carried away and incidentally threw everyone else under the rug in the process, welcome to the uggo side of mental illinois where you burn the world scorched earth to a crisp.

I was one of the carreychans from the husbando thread, I'm not just this mean schizo entity. There are other carreychans but I am one of the OGs. In my earliest days I was a lovely and carefree little thing. Wallowing in my thirst and desperation. After Jim's retirement, the dominos toppled. It was the last act of cowardice to snap me out of a long trance. Please dont call Hollywood spineless, babe, you have the backbone of a jellyfish.

My goals well intentioned, I lost the plot. and that's okay. It's not the duty of small fries to right big wrongs and take on multimillionaire actor weinsteins. When they do, they end up scarred and burned. You have no agents and no backers, good luck translating plot to paper. Two and a half years I was unmediated which allowed my mood swinging sensory overload to run rampant, and the things that had been hurled at me only deepened my traumas. One thing I know for sure and have reiterated, is that I ain't entirely deluding my own experience. People around me who were adjacent to the hate campaign itself, whatever you wanna call it, can attest. It's not just a lost plot, you lose your character, you lose who you are. I lost who I was in a way I hadn't in years. I realize my lashing out and my gradual erosion wasn't intentionally cruel, it was a cry for help. Losing pride in not only the way I looked, but my passion, my vitality, my bravery, my creativity, and myself.

As I finally seek out medication again, my shrink returns from an terminal illness induced hiatus, I seek out new employment and I get my blood tested to affirm im not suffering from leukemia, anemia, or any other emias… i know I can't right all wrongs. Trauma is not something you forget, it's embedded within you and you nurture it. In my mid twenties this slip is a real fucking embarrassment. It took a long time to admit to everyone, and several people alienated or outright rejected me (can I blame them). Lolcow was for awhile the refuge I felt safe at my worst, but now I no longer feel safe in any capacity under this moniker.

There are things I can and cannot change. The serenity prayer is an oldie but goodie. Deep down, I was enchanted by Jim's talents, his weird aesthetic beauty. I would've done anything to have memorialized him as Dr. Jekyll, sitting placid on a meadow and not Mr. Hyde, the sweaty and bedraggled creature stuttering thru his Slapgate interviews. Knowing what it's like to be bipolar, unstable, and growing up in a traumatic family environment, all I wanted was for him to realize how his actions affect others. To work past the victim he was instead of becoming the abuser. I wish I could force him to feel the pain of every victim. I wish I could force him to feel my own pain, the scars on my skin, the nerve damage, the tremors, the numbness and the shakes. My heart always longed to fix the unfixable, it was what I knew. Until it broke. It hurts more to hate him and try convincing the world he's an abuser than to wade past it. An unobtainable, sicko spoiled starlet who gurns from his throne of lies. There is no winning when nobody in power listens. He cowers behind his PR and multi monitor setup after he sentenced a woman to death. He buries his other victims in NDAs, fixers and payouts. The inability to break the ice hurts when you know there's so many suffering women, as a suffering woman yourself. Someone claimed to me he abused Ginger Gonzaga, what could I do about it? But I still think about her. All those unheard women's voices.

You can't go back and bark up the right tree. You can't force change. In the end, I am no Ronan Farrow, I'm not even a Gale Weathers, I work for no publication, I can't find a source proper, I'm a nobody with no power and no presence, it's not my job to out Jim. The fear of Jim and the way I let hatred and guilt consume me didn't just hurt me, it hurt the people in my life. It almost killed me. There are so many layers to why what happened wasn't okay.

I do hope some day a real journalist and a real publication expose Jim as the serial predator he is. For Jim himself, I hope it was worth it, if you or your ilk see this shit. For all you practice but don't preach, misery won't bring you peace. He draws blood, but his cuts are never equal.

May Cathriona "Cat" White rest in power and his other victims one day know real peace and are able to face their abuser on a public forum. The world never should've made Jim Carrey famous. Jim didn't just hurt his victims, he hurt their families, their friends, and every person they knew. Jim made his bed by hurting thousands and possessing sub zero remorse for it, and that's not anyone's burden to bear except James Eugene Carrey's.

I'm sorry it came to this.
Thank you for all the lockdown hours, shitposts, memes and fun, fuck the tragedy, and fuck this lahoooozer in all his worthlessness.

does anyone feel this or like.. anything. is it too late for me i’m 22 is it over can i develop interests this late or is it Over. i like music but that can only go so far am i having an identity crisis or am i shell or is it ok like Help

no its not over. why are you even asking if its possible to find interests? it is. even if you think its late even if you are 30,40. do not ever think it is over for you. you are just not use to process of "finding things for yourself" which comes with experimentation and perseverance. find a comfortable rotation of things to try out (even if you hate them) and make a commitment. and try to focus on those things themselves and how you experience them (you dont have to enjoy them at first) rather than deprecating over what they say about you. from your words you sound perplexed about the state of who you are which i take as an identity crisis so i will say many people experience these feelings at this age. its normal. its just a sign you want to move forward.

i hate that at 28 i still do not really know how to deal with shitty people and get them to stop fucking bothering me. i mind my business, i stay out of drama, do my what i am supposed to, and leave. this is how i've been all my life and nothing about that is going to change anytime soon. but somehow this always gets misinterpreted by shitty people as me being a "bitch" because my life doesn't revolve around them and i don't give them attention that they think they deserve. and that's really all it is.

everytime i get into conflict with people, every single time, they complain about the same thing: she never talks to us wah wah wah. which isn't and has never been a crime since the beginning of time, and doesn't really affect anyone's lives other than my own but apparently it's a crime in this shitty world we live in. it's like people refuse to accept that i am just a naturally quiet person, it's like their brains short circuit because of it and they think that being mean to me is going to somehow make it better. i honestly get tired of talking, it's nothing personal. sometimes i just want to sit in silence and in peace and feel my heart beating in my chest and not be bothered and not bother anyone in return. what's so terrible about that?

and like, i don't think i am a victim or anything because i am quiet cause that's stupid, i just get tired of hearing the same stupid fucking complaint that really isn't a complaint, it's just people being weird and controlling. and the people who are the cause of this latest incident that inspired this vent, i don't even think they are ready to hear what i actually think of them even though it looks like i am going to have to tell them the truth. because the truth is i never liked their vibes/energy and never felt comfortable around them, so i just never bothered them. the first time i met them i got a really negative vibe off of the lot of them; i remember walking into the room they were in and they never greeted me, they just stared at me like vultures to carrion as i set my bag down and it made me feel hella uncomfortable. and their behavior recently pretty much proves my sense that they were not good people to begin with, and that i shouldn't get too involved with them. this is why i always put myself first, and listen to my gut instincts about people.

>at least a minimal amount of response to their queries

that's the thing anon, people never really approach me or try to get to know me, but then they get mad at me for not saying anything, if that makes sense. again somehow it's always my fault and i get blamed for doing things i haven't even done. it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. and the people i am dealing with now, they've never approached me, not once. never have asked me questions, never have given any signs that they are approachable or that they're interested in me as a person. i felt like from the moment we met that they already mentally shut themselves down to treat me badly just from their overall energy and if i had said anything, then they would have complained about me being "annoying".

just yesterday, i also found out through the grapevine that they've been talking mad shit about me behind my back (unsurprising, i could tell) and spreading rumors/encouraging others to treat me badly. i am polite when necessary but other than that i didn't think they even cared for me to begin with since one of the individuals in particular constantly rolls her eyes at me whenever i am speaking. it's really exhausting but i hope that helps.

This. But despite how difficult of a skill it is to achieve if you've spent your whole life being extremely passive to normies, knowing how to properly stand up for yourself is pretty important. I can only count on one hand the amount of times in my life I've gotten people to fuck off, but the way I did it proved successful every time - I replied with AND showed clear apatheticness on my face. The AND is important, because the only advice I ever received in regards to bullies is "ignore them". But saying nothing isn't enough most of the time. Alot of the times it actually means saying something but not showing anything on your face. I did the former, which is why I probably continued being bullied like a motherfucker. Don't be scared of feeling an asshole. Don't be scared of sounding like an asshole. Because you'd be surprised how much just looking like Daria and saying "Fuck off", or however close you can get to the workplace-appropriate version of that, can work.

>i am just a naturally quiet person, it's like their brains short circuit because of it and they think that being mean to me is going to somehow make it better.


Yeah, I've been put on the spot for being quiet back in middle school, even when there would literally be other quiet classmates around me. They projected confidence and still obviously had friends, though. That's why it still comes back to confidence. I've realized I'm naturally quiet as well and starting to embrace that aspect of myself, despite how much I used to get made fun of and looked down for it day in and day out. I'm not going to 180 myself just for extroverts and their one-sided world view. If you truly and fully embrace not giving fuck, when someone bothers you about being quiet again next time, they should just become someone you wave off. If they're someone particularly aggressive about it and with control over your livelihood, like a boss, projecting confidence can still save you just by gaining their respect.

I'm not in love with this stupid fucking emotionally retarded asshole anymore. I'm barely even attracted to him physically. I'm putting up with his stupid shit and lying to him because he's paying for rent and groceries because I'm dealing with health problems and can't work right now but that's it. He's just money to me now. Spoiled milk was the final straw I think. I went to go get a bowl of cereal just earlier and sniffed the milk to find it was spoiled. I told him and he said he'd go get more "soon". I simply asked when soon was. He got weird about me asking and said "…tomorrow?" which is not a new way for him to reply when something that's his responsibility he flakes on or half asses and when confronted acts like a teen boy who is confused about basic fucking tasks. Mind you for anyone confused he's been horribly verbally and emotionally abusive to me because of his untreated BPD and whatever else and I'm his first real long term relationship blah blah. Anyway, we aren't really "together" but he tries to act like we are because I'm stuck with him. I say "I wish you'd just directly say when you're going to do something instead of dancing around it so I'm left in the dark and don't know if you're going to avoid and forget it." He just gets upset and scowls and backs away and gets quiet and plays victim about it and "responds" as he's walking away to go back to his game which he has frequently used as his focus over me after being cruel, often coming home or even before work saying "I'm going to come home and play my game" and that's all he cares about. I don't judge a habit or hobby but it's how he is besides that makes it shit. He could be volunteering with orphans and it still would be a problem if he uses it to escape consequences or to put me down with. Anyway, he then starts going on some rant when I ask him why he got all weird and passive aggressive and started saying its because he "feels like he has to walk on eggshells and that anything he says is going to be the wrong thing" which is ridiculous because he's the one I have to walk eggshells on with constantly or else I get put down or accused of being a horrible manipulative piece of shit etc. This guy is kind of a fucking idiot and I'm glad because he swings blindly at what isn't a problem not knowing what he should be worried about. I want a different man. I'm not proud to be with this guy. He's given me so much grief. So much grief I can't even explain. I'm rambling but I'm so exhausted. I just silently walked away. I don't care about trying with him anymore. Not even on a human to human level. He's just so immature and allergic to responsibility and he's fucking insecure and abusive and just lacks any real ambition or a can do attitude and is a chronic victim and careless and inconsiderate so often. He annoys the fuck out of me now. I don't care. This is my anger. Fuck him. Fuck him for ruining such a beautiful love. For draining my energy. I pray for the strength to keep this place and make him leave. I want him out of my life. I want peaceful solitude and the room to be my own woman without his draining mess making immature bullshit. He makes messes I have to clean and can't even take care of one simple chore without whining or avoiding it. Fuck him. Fuck him for all the horrible things he's said to me. I want a real man. A good man. A better man.

I feel fucking angry and disgusted right now. My sister's husband is a disgusting scrote who is the most sorriest piece of shit I've seen. He's swimming in debt and hasn't done a single thing to my sister because he uses his debt as an excuse. He had already cheated on her by sexting and sending nudes to another girl, and he has a fucking daughter mind you. Despite all this my sister puts up with this disgusting piece of shit. I want nothing to do with this idiot and i don't even talk to him.

The thing that makes me filled with rage is the way he handles my niece, his own daughter. It's absolutely disgusting and creepy. My sister is a coward for not raising her voice and punishing him. She's 2 years old btw. He keeps kissing her on the nose and on her chin, and then points out that he never kissed on her lips. He keeps grabbing my niece's ass and rubbing her back and it looks absolutely creepy. Mom and I are helpless when that happens. I feel guilty as well when I see this happen. I want to help my sister and I want to beat the shit out of this creepy fucker but my sister is scared for her safety and is worried that he might take away the baby and run away. I also think she loves him for some stupid reason despite all this and I just don't get it. I hate this so much and I hate that all I can do is keep quiet and stand by because I'll end up causing problems if I raised my voice. I fucking hate how men can get away with disgusting and borderline creepy shit and then blame the people who see this shit for having such thoughts in the first place. I don't know what to do except turn a blind eye and I feel very guilty about it. I'm honestly worried about my niece's future and I'm scared that one day my sister is going to cry that she ruined her life by not dumping this disgusting and worthless man swimming in debt and borderline creepy as fuck from her life because being a single mom is stigmatized as fuck.

I'm scared if my dad won't come back to pick me up. I'm scared if I'd get arrested for god know why.

I don't want to fucking go out.
I shouldn't have told my dad about today and asked his help.

Thoughts are just thoughts. You can let them do their thing without following them - and they'll let you do your thing.
It's gonna be ok. You can do things with fear - and that's the trick: not minding the fear, because the fear can't hurt you. Today you're training in this. It's uncomfortable at first, but eventually you'll get better at it.
Every new thing in your life might put you through this process (going beyond fear), but it does get easier with age and experience.

Yep, it went okay!

My dad dropped me and had to leave, and I got a bit scared when I saw a scrotal security guard screaming at everyone that got in, but once I made it past that it went okay. I probably was being too nervous but I even got to talk to two strangers who initiated a small conversation with me which helped me relax. I also messed up something and was scared if it would have consequences but the guy who handled my papers was okay with it and didn't bother.

I feel guilty that I always keep assuming the worst things to happen to me, and that everyone are these demon spawns that are out to get me. I don't know if it's because of spending too much time online or all these TV shows that I watch where I only see the worst that humanity has to offer. Kind people do exist. I also feel bad that my grown ass doesn't know how to drive and still has to depend on my dad for taking me to places though. Welp.

Yeah, today I felt extremely uncomfortable at the beginning, but that's pretty much it. I'm really grateful for those who had a small talk with me. It surely isn't much but their simple acts really helped me calm down.

It's not my responsibility and I need to lead by example more. By saying no. No. No. No. I'm not drinking with them or going out anymore. I've only gone out with them maybe a few times this year and each time I just don't have a good time.

I’m being torn apart between two persons again and it hurts like hell.
I have been straight as an arrow all my life. I mean romantically. I had the segs with my bff one time because we wanted to experiment but I never felt love for her nor another woman. It just never crossed my mind or my heart.
Now I’m finally in a happy, mutual relationship with a man. He loves me and I love him back. But I have this coworker that I have known for a year. She’s pretty and everyone knows it, except for her. My first response to seeing her was envy. While I got to know her I realized we had a lot in common and I started to like her as a random acquaintance I see sometimes.
Last weekend we decided to hang out on Monday to go buy some things from Halloween. It was a mistake.
The day was perfect. Time was fleeing. Silence was rare and never awkward. We laughed, we ate, we enjoyed each other without even looking at the phone. My feelings felt strange towards another woman for the first time.
Yesterday I told my boyfriend. He cried for the first time in years. I cried too. I don’t want to lose him and I’m confused. I love him but I want to get near to her. She’s not straight. She’s bi and super inclined to women and that fact bothers me more because there is a possibility.
I don’t want to choose again. I’m tired. I don’t want to break a heart again. I don’t want to cry for a whole week again…

I'm looking at the ingame footage and she really looks pretty. I find it funny how people would take off-frame screenshots to scream QUALITY because it's supposed to look bad in motion. She looks at least 6/10 to me too.

I did find something else though. It looks like the issue, or rather incel conspiracy, is that the character designers manage to self-insert a writer into the game while replacing her original model who played MJ in spiderman 1. So maybe that's probably why everyone are so mad at her, or maybe the scrotes want MJ to be a coombait to make SFM blender porn out of but the designers didn't allow that to happen and they're frustrated about it.

They were complaining about her being modeled after an actor, yeah.
While I too personally would prefer the characters not being modeled after the staff for no reason,(especially if you're replacing the original vision) it just seems such a weird way to go about it, right?
It's also understandable if some people don't want realism in their games and instead would like to see a perfect 10/10. It's escapism after all and it's normal to want IRL people or imperfections not to invade your fantasy. But to talk about a woman like that like she's some sort of abomination… so uncalled for and misses the mark imo.

I'm almost sure that threads about her started before it was revealed that she's a presumed self-insert.
I'm a little torn on it myself. On one hand, the issue is clearly overblown and has devolved into yet another excuse for scrotes to complain about women. On the other, I wouldn't be exactly happy if my idealised virtual avatar in a multi-billion epic superhero saga game was "at least 6/10". There's absolutely no reason for an easily adjustable character model to look worse than a random non-professional photo of the person it was based on. I don't want enforced mediocrity, I want beauty that is not solely based on male gaze.

Honestly it's so stupid. Whenever I feel wrong I can't help but start feeling how I'm responsible for representing women in a bad light, even if no one knows that I'm one. I grew up in a very misogynistic place where people would use the smallest of women's misdeeds and use it as a proof that we are lesser or something.
I don't know why I have to put this weight on my shoulders and now I don't know how to get rid of it, it's so stupid and I'm so ashamed of it.
It's true that I need to work on this, when I actually allowed myself to be stupid with no shame this year I got a lot of new experience which I really needed. I saw a lot of people that did look stupid and did dumb stuff but it wasn't a big deal and in the end they were probably better off than if they didn't them.(not even for the sake of experience, but they made progress socially or otherwise)

What you describe is some sort of reduction (reducing people to one aspect) mixed with misplaced second-hand embarrassment. What you are change second to second. Trying to tie you down to one or two adjective won't get you far.

I ran into a guy I went to high school with, and he's so different and it's been fucking with me.
The gist of it is, he was a super orderly and disciplined kid all through high school. Military officer aspirations, got his own page of the school website with a map reading tool he made, that sort of thing. He acted like a "good officer" in a war movie, just accepted whatever teachers told him and shut up, and when other people bitched about it, he was a dickhead to anybody who complained. Last I saw him before this, it was just him and his mom (his dad was already dead) walking past the school with his cap and gown on. He (afaik) went to West Point after that and I forgot he existed. early last year, my mom told me his mom past away.

Well earlier today I ran into him and didn't even recognize him at all. His hair was longer than ever, and streaked red. He was dressed the most immaturely I had ever seen him, wearing a fucking Lil Darkie T. He came up to me and said "hey we went to school together" and it took me like 5 seconds of looking at him for it to register. He seemed to completely forget that I wasn't super fond of him and just asked me how I was. We chatted for a little and I asked him what he was doing back. He just up and left west point. (or whatever academy he was at, he just said he was at "the academy") They wanted him to stay and pressured him by admitting he took it more seriously than anyone else (which apparently the officers there almost never openly admit), so he just walked off campus and took a bus back. He confessed to robbing multiple other cadets there just before leaving to me. He said he didn't even feel bad about it because "every single person there is a piece of shit." I asked him what he was gonna do and he said he had no idea. He seemed more jovial and happier than before but also weirdly detached.
The thing is, something about seeing such a drastic change in his behavior, this recently after his mom had died, makes all of this seem so much sadder than it otherwise would be. I almost get sad thinking about it and it's hard to explain why.

Thanks, and yeah, I understand this but… I don't know. It must be my empathy going haywire when I see toxic people doing self-destructive things and finding a part of me in them. One half wants them to suffer and pay for their actions, the other half relates to it. Even if the categories are too wide, it feels too similar to see them go through the pain that I've been through, and seeing them stigmatized or ostracized for it hurts a lot. Damn, I'm just rambling.

Nihilism got him. What's the point anymore?

Every time I read something tragic like this, I remember a scene from BoJack Horseman. It's the wasted potential. Things could've been so much better, but then life fucks you up.
>You know what it’s like? It’s like that show Becker, you know, with Ted Danson? I watched the entire run of that show, hoping that it would get better, and it never did. It had all the right pieces, but it just—it couldn’t put them together. And when it got canceled, I was really bummed out, not because I liked the show, but because I knew it could be so much better, and now it never would be.

I don't know of that's it honestly. I was never exactly rooting for him pursuing a military career, and it didn't even really seem like it was making him happy. Even that just seemed like it was just him obeying the orders given to him by lord knows who. When I talked to my mom about his mom, she apparently mentioned not wanting him to go either so it wasn't his parents doing it.
He definitely does seem genuinely "÷+free" in a way. But it still is hard to witness for some.reason.

Hmm, I see. His mom not being interested in a military career makes things a bit more vague about his situation.

Yeah, reading his story seems tragic to me.
I can find myself empathizing with his situation even if it's completely different from and I haven't stolen anything and I don't have any dead parents for some reason, and this reminds me of Just World Fallacy.
Something bad happens to someone, and people subconsciously try to find reasons to demonize them or justify it, like a rape survivor being slut shamed or told that she was asking for it by hanging out at wrong places. I've read that it's a defense mechanism to detach oneself from empathizing with a bad situation, because empathy is contagious and you can feel the other person's pain when you do that. Damn, more rambling, lol.

Normies will never get this. Therapy is NOT the panacea to all mental health problems. Some therapy actually re-traumatizes you and makes things more miserable than you began because you start opening up unhealed wounds from the past. Not only therapy as a concept is a gamble, some of the therapists are certified assholes who only care about making money out of you. A lot of people also get misdiagnosed and get put in therapy modules that won't work because they have other problems that got ignored in the diagnosis, and a lot of them actually won't treat you if you said you have suicidal ideation because of some insurance issues.

>“because look, who would want to be friends with you”

Every single time someone says that, it's projection.
If someone doesn't want to put up with another person and accept them for both accept them for their positives, and question and advice them for their negatives, they're never friends. They're just around you because they need something from you.
One of the studies I read long ago said that an average adult has only 2 friends. Two!

I feel extremely scared and triggered when I watch some reality shows that involve infighting and ganging up on other contestants when there are difference of opinions. I really want to avoid these shows but at the same time I also feel like I should watch it because I get to understand the kind of demons that exist out there wearing human skin and there's also a really desperate hope that they'll get punished for it. These greedy corporates know that they're playing with emotions in here. I wish shows like this get banned because it's human rights violation or satisfies BITE model or something.

I feel my adrenaline surge when I watch those shows and that surge feels "normal", I wouldn't say good, but "normal". It has its roots in abuse.

Sigh, yeah. It's quite sad how ingrained abuse becomes like it's some comfortable blanket to crawl into, except it stinks with a bed of needles. I avoid reality shows as much as I could but my comfort shows and movies are about broken women messing things up, like Fleabag or Crazy Ex Girlfriend.

>emotional porn

Yeah, that's exactly it but I think I'm not reacting to these shows the way others are doing it. I see live comments and posts trending on twitter and people actually love watching people fight without being triggered by their toxicity, but I can feel terror when I watch it. My mom calls me weak for not taking things sportive as well. Sigh, I should just stop.

It's probably more because those sources and trauma interactions are extremely well documented and thoroughly studied than because incest is superabundant.

There's been a subtle change in psychiatric discourse around the statistical fact that therapy is largely ineffective for men, specifically men who are not psychotic and do not have sexual trauma. This used to be considered as 'men just do not want to improve or heal' but given the sheer scope of the problem that might not be the case. It could be, or it could be that existing medical techniques aren't really adaptable or properly developed for whatever it is that's wrong with men in general.

Either way, the same can apply to the book you're talking about. Maybe the examples and things that work for specifically incestuous sexual trauma are just so obviously a problem for the individual that they have extra incentive and motivation to work out their trauma and related problems in life, or maybe the issues they have are magnified enough that it was easier for therapy to develop techniques to handle it. And it's possible that techniques for handling sexual trauma might be used, and useful, outside of that context, but that they could also be ineffective if applied too far out of context (i.e. to the aforementioned men with no history of sexual trauma) so the example serves to ground the technique to a circumstance where it is known to be helpful.

I had to go to Halloween "party" out of obligation, most of the time I just sat there on my phone which really highlighted how much a friendless loser I'm. Everyone already knows each other, it's like no one has empty slots for friends open and I feel awkward trying to butt in. I know I should be more pro active and not expect anything out of interactions with other people, things develop over time all that but my brain just can't. Even today I quickly came to the conclusion that oh yeah I could just die tomorrow and nothing would change, which is edgy and kinda dumb but I can't help it. But it's also true, what's the point of living a long life if I can't make any meaningful connections or enjoy things? I want female friends but I seem to only attract moids.

Is it really bad to be mostly ambivalent toward other people? I do have some semblance of a social life in college, but it's not that I hate people, it's that I just couldn't care less about what they like or what they have to say. Even the people I "like" are people that are tolerable enough to spend time with. Really, all I care about is my moid, who is probably the most intelligent person I've ever met. He's willing to read the books and media that I like, and he listens to my schizophrenic ramblings on books and philosophy and politics, which is enough. I might be outing myself as a filthy Fata Morgana fan, but I fantasise about retiring to a lonely cabin in the woods, surrounding myself with books, with him by my side. Of course this is all dreck and fantasy.
Vent over. Just wanted to rant about how little I care for other people. Don't know if I should worry about that or not.

I think something is bad only if it either affects you in a destructive way, OR if it affects people around you. If you're okay with who you are, then there's nothing wrong!

I'm also very ambivalent to people and I honestly don't care about them except seeing them as these cute little gossip machines or people who I can psychoanalyze about. I don't like talking with people either. I guess I'm only comfortable at online discussions because it doesn't feel like talking but more like lecturing, where I can prepare what I want to say and edit things out later, and reply at my own pace.

There are two modes of living I oscillate between. A normal conventional life. Occupation. Social involvement. Life. Just life.

And then there is this. This vile place of isolation and insulated non-experiences. The internet is my window to the world so I indulge dangerously.

I feel unnaturally uprooted from the circumstance that had landed me here in the first place. All I have is memories of things that happened that were meant to amount and build towards some structure, something of a fixture in my existence, a tangible marking of the passage of time and the effort (even if subpar) exerted in those past pursuits. Yet I have nothing. Even the knowledge is fleeting. And my memories are precarious. And really, all I have for proof of all those years is my present fragility. I have the one friend and my general prospects are whittled away to nothing.

I feel like every people and their dogs are using their "trauma" as an excuse to justify their behaviors. I use the word trauma a lot as well, and I feel very guilty at times when I use it while there are people who actually went through horrible traumatic experiences like sexual assault or near-death accidents. It's very triggering. I feel like a phoney when I use elite therapyspeek like boundaries, validation, dysregulation and all that and I just don't get it.

does he really love me? is there a chance for this to work out? why does he avoid commitment?

about half a year ago got extremely close to him physically and spiritually. he had something with some other girl before, but apologized for that and said he can try to be committed but can't promise he won't go and kiss some girl drunk or fall in love with someone else - which just contradicts itself.

i've been told to get out and ghost him, but after a long talk there is something in me that's telling me he just can't accept that he loves me. and that there is a possibility of commitment in the future? maybe i'm naive but he also has a heart.

Neethood has engulfed me to such an extent that in forced to reckon with deep seated issues that would otherwise have been stowed away and out of the analytic limelight had I been living a real, “meaningful” life as a normal crypto slave with an actual “job” and a real tangible “imprint” on the fabric of “society”. It’s unfathomable, but effacement in the bowels of some urban shithole with the rest of the 20 something blind crabs, is an ever elusive fantasy of mine. Speaks to the erosion of my own standards. Side effect of NEETshitship.

Another side effect of being an isolated non entity with no financial means of subsistence (and therefore no drive or passion or any precursors to either quality) is the broiling, relentless anhedonia that’s infected every facet of my being. I guess the question “does prolonged isolation combined with semi constant at arms length exposure to humanity, cause one’s entire learned social behaviors to outright disappear” answer itself in my person. It seems two years of seclusion trumps 23 years of social conditioning. That, or my brain’s sputteringly firing in the wayward lane.

I digress (what’s new?). I’m getting consistently contacted by the one mo*d now. Dms galore. Would you believe that 8 months ago, I’d have neurotically spun 4 different ruminative episodes if he’d happened not to text good morning? I do a metaphorical rendition of the Chicanery scene when I mentally assuage myself that the only reason I’d attached myself to this scrote in the last couple of situationship iterations, was because I was so insecure and bored and coped via romance, and that I’m not CRAZY. And that things DO MERIT TO BE OVERTHOUGHT, if the conclusion could be remedied.

I really feel like two people. The product of one culture, and… well, I was partly raised by the internet. It’s no good denying the damage sustained from my third parent’s influence. The former defines love in simple terms. Good people meet good people, and they officiate their union in the eyes of God and other good people. It’s not rocket science. Good people fuck. Sex is there, and it’s enjoyed and it’s there and you don’t pay it more mind than you would pay to your meals or the color of your stool. There are big ethical boundaries that shouldn’t be trespassed. But everything else is up for grabs. Yelling. Insults hurled in moments of anger. Uncurbed confrontations. Long unwelcome silences. Kids who tiptoe about lest the vitriol veers towards them. It’s often enough to leave a mark, but too sporadic to establish a consistent pattern. But the larger lines are well defined. It’s biological pragmatism dressed as cultural conservatism.

And then what’s the point of over complicating things. Everyone else drift through life, and check their little boxes, and they’re happy. They don’t whinge about wanting to feel a love so deep it penetrates their cast of cynicism and insecurity. They welcome the meal that’s been served to them and savor it and they’re thankful.

All these years of suppressing anything feminine about myself and I turn out to be a sap, and the bitter kind at that. Fuck.

I don't mean to be rude or anything but is it just me or does anyone else can't understand what this nona is saying?
I mean I can get the gist of it but it's prose is weird.

Anyway, I feel like the initial years of my NEETdom helped me introspect a lot about my life, because I have a lot of unprocessed trauma that's surely going to fuck me up if I try to live a normie life, but as years went by, all I experience now is paralyzing dread about my uncertain future and directionless life. Now I don't even want to start anything like a new hobby because I feel shame, guilt and all kinds of emotions on one hand, and I feel fear and dread when I attempt to get out of my self-destructive habits on the other hand.

Looks like he's just boring but lonely and desperate to start a conversation about something that sticks on you. As someone who used to spam imageboards with shitty threads that barely reach 10 replies before it get bumped out of the catalog, I can understand his feel, but it's still annoying and scrotal because it seems like he's doing it only because he knows you're a girl.

Years ago, I was approached by a cohort mate online. He proceeded to initiate every single online conversation we had had for the next 3 years. When we met in real life, I was unimpressed but pushed that sentiment aside. We were strictly friends, and Im a philialopic, meaning I dabble in all kinds of relationships regardless of the substance.

He falls in love (he had a gf). I was (at the time) alienated and very insecure. The idea of being loved was very intoxicating but in such a toxic way that I started anxiously acting out. Very cringe.

I kissed him once to see if I wasnt asexual. Then I told him we should stay friends. He broke up. For the next year, we dance a childish dance of will-they-wont-they. Try our hands at a long distance relationship. It doesnt work out.

I never liked who i am when im with him. And frankly, I dont like so many things about him either. He’s so self involved (but so are most scrotes). His interests are so vapid and unstimulating (this isn’t a book lmao). He is intelligent and can be level headed, but he has no notion of personal boundaries. The frequency by which he d reach out was so bewilderingly overwhelming. It reminds me of my mother, and of the space she d forcefully carve out for her self in my life even from afar. But then, she is my mother. And I love her, and Im a bit of an airhead and forget to make the space for people. She is entitled to some of my time. I can t rely on what I feel, or don t feel. Im only isolating because im dysthemic.

When we were together, he d send a selfie and I know that he would be waiting for me to compliment him. And my petty instinct is to deflect. Not give him what he wants. I just dont get why Im so punitive when it comes to him. And I dont understand how I turned into this bitter, antisocial, petulant retard. But I know I cant let this misanthropic impulse win because the endgame is just a lifetime of misery and loneliness.

Y’all can laugh but I have nowhere else to post this. After years of struggling with trauma up the ass I got diagnosed with DID and I can’t post about dealing with the horror of being a fucking crazy person everyday cause the DID community is filled with doxx hungry kinnies or equally doxx hungry deeply volatile, sensitive and insecure people who lash out at anything due to trauma.
Idc if you believe me or not but I can’t rly come to grips with the fact that I have been so traumatized by men and patriarchy in my childhood that I’ve sort of internalized the patriarchy panopticon to the point where my head is just full of screaming angry men like reflections of my own trauma. And that’s when I’m not heavily dissociated so I’m feeling “present” the other week dissociated I almost walked into oncoming traffic. I just was fucking absent mentally. It makes me sick and even though it’s totally crippled me and I can’t live my therapist basically called me a fucking moron for seeking out disability. In my state medical care for DID is so expensive I’m going into debt fast, most specialists know we are needy and demand out of pocket treatment. So this is it I guess. This is what all the abuse has lead up to. I just live like this until I die. I can’t even escape patriarchy in my own fucking skull. :) idk how to live anymore. I feel like it’s gotten to this point I can literally never overcome my trauma, it lives my life, it lives inside me and it rules my life.
Anyway I hope your day is better than mine and sorry for even shitting up this thread with my fucking lunacy.

You're a machine made to survive any danger. When your brain detect any danger, it switches to vigilance mode (also called "fight and flight") by dropping a lot of cortisol ("stress hormone") and it redirects the blood flow away from your digestive organs (because it's needed elsewhere to be ready to run or fight).
If you are constantly stressed, you're constantly sending the blood elsewhere, and your stomach/intestines etc. can't work well because they're chronically 'underfunded' and eventually become vulnerable to a lot of issues.
Stress and depression are two types of "constant danger" modes. Stress is more of a fight-flight thing, while depression is rather "just kill me now, I can't win that fight".
That is how I understand it.

Anonymous 106027

Think of it this way. When you're stressed, your body assumes there's a danger and switches gears in order to deal with it, pulling resources from functions that aren't useful for fight or flight scenarios. This is good for temporary situations. But when stress becomes chronic, you start seeing side effects from all the functions that were left aside.

Anonymous 106041

Thanks, I understand. Not only is depression and stress going to make things worse for the digestive system, I can imagine something like bipolar or borderline is going to make it even worse because of low tolerance to stress and how it takes some time time to calm down from being irritated. Sigh…

Outing myself as a fatty here but I just saw a picture of a fat woman next to a normal one and wow, the difference’s day and night. It struck a visceral reaction within me, I almost felt like puking. The worst part is that the bigger girl looked exactly like me, and the slim one looked like me when I used to be thin.

I’m so disgusted at myself. I wish I hadn’t let go of myself this hard. I’m only in my early 20s… Feels so bad, nonas. I use food as a coping mechanism so it’s hard to just give up my unhealthy habits. But it’s like, I’m fat so that makes me sad so I eat. It’s so irrational and a vicious cycle.

I know it’s pointless to talk about it with other people because they’re just gonna feel bad for me and say meaningless shit like, “You can lose the weight!”. Maybe I’m being an ungrateful bitch but no shit? That doesn’t change the fact that I’m still a fatass and unless I go back to my disordered habits it’ll take me like 2-3 years to go back to the weight I used to be.

Being fat is so disgusting. I really need to get my shit together.

Nona, there's nothing wrong with being fat as long as it's hurting you. Using food as a coping mechanism is unhealthy, fine… and obesity can lead to complications, fine… and if being slim will make you more sexy and confident, fine… but being fat in itself is not a bad thing at all.

I think it's because my mom always compared me with other kids hoping that these could actually encourage me. No, it didn't.

I feel like I am becoming more and more unhinged. I have a sociable personality, I am considered beautiful, I dont have problems with my family, I am financially stable, I am cultured, everything someone should be to have a happy social life; yet I don't, my friends are all fake who throw me away at every opportunity (For example, no one from my main "friend" group will go to my graduation party, which I helped organize, because they have the silliest things to do, with people they don't even interact that much) so I'm inviting some other colleges who at least will go for the party. I can strike up conversations and apparently start a friendship, but as much as I try, the other person always forgets about me, or doesn't recognize my effort to create a bond. I have my errors, my anxiety and some sort of Napoleon complex has me trying to manipulate things so they turn out my way and I don't lose my mind. I have a boyfriend who's been distant these past few months, I went on a fun trip and on the way back I saw all my colleges cuddled up with their partners on the bus, and I was alone listening to Katy Perry or something, I almost broke right then and there. The sports team I support since childhood (family was always into it) just lost a game with a pretty humiliating result, I started laughing clutching my face in a crisis. Idk what to do

I feel a great deal of anxiety for no reason. When new things happen, instead of embracing the change and welcoming the potential growth, I dig my heels in a reality that im not even happy with because of fear.

I was raised on a diet of terror and shame, and now I am a coward who flees at the first strange sight. I guess fear and disgust are overlapping emotions, because i feel on the verge of vomiting all the time. The mere imagining of peaceful domesticity (a mother rocking her child in a mall, or a living young family floating through a park) activates my fight or flight response. This is life and it is so underwhelming.

Much of my real time contentment was fueled by future prospects, and as I grapple with the fact that my early 20s were a disappointment compared to all the fun I had envisioned in my teens, I also understand that I had set very high expectations that were bound to come short either way. It’s useless to comment that others have what I had longed for, because those very same others probably have problems of another caliber and I don’t have the energy to contemplate on the woes of strangers.

My point is, where things stand in time now, the framework that should guide my expectations for the rest of the 20’s is revolting. Everyone I know is getting married or in a courtship or seeking serious relationships. What’s next? Generic vacations to generic destinations with generic engagement from characters who never deviate from the script. I’m so vile. Because these people are happy, and they pursue things that will make them happy, and they are secure and confident so life unfolds before them with ease and limelights. I am sad and bitter and pessimistic, and I see the world through an obscured peep hole so I have no legitimacy to fall back on. My anti social isolationist tendencies, and my blackpilled outlook are only a byproduct of my persistent depressive disorder. Maybe if i got on the happy pills wagon I’ll want to be someone’s wife and someone’s mother instead of longing for wild plains and solitude in forestey heights.

I'm back to uni for another degree because my first one was useless. I got up a grade (credits) and I'm in 3rd year now. Met a classmate, he's 20, very clever, works hard and he's funny. We barely talk and we don't share socials but I've been having a hunch that he's kinda interested (not trying to be the main character I swear). He always sits by my side, even when I choose the worst places to sit (like in the back when I'm sleepy). Sometimes he talks to me, says nice things or wants to know more about me. He's in general very nice, also he says really bad jokes; yet the next day he's ignoring me and hugging all his girl classmates.

I don't really "mind", I'm not jealous, like, I'm 32, I'm closer in age to some professors than my classmates. I'm there to finish this degree and finally get a better job, not to flirt with people. Though I find him cute and funny, we are 12 years apart. Besides that, I never had a boyfriend, the two boys I liked in uni, one trooned out and the other never talked to me again when I told him I liked him so I kinda stopped caring for relationships.

Yet he's making me hopeful because I'm a loner without friends and probably I can't see when people are being nice just because they're nice. Maybe I'm in the main character phase after all. Fuck.

So I married "young" at 21 and have 2 kids with my husband, we are 24.
I love him and our children soo dearly, but he can really be the bitchiest person alive.
Sometimes the way he reacts to frustration is so fucking effeminate. Maybe it's patriarchy or some nonsense, but I think men ought to err on the side of stoicism. I can barely even convey this to him because I'm confrontation avoidant and get too anxious to say anything, worse I have no one to talk to because I don't believe spouses should shit talk each other to outside parties which is why I'm posting this here, anonymously.
I mean, over all I love him. He is absolutely my other half (better half, I don't know about that lol), but damn, when do men grow out of temper tantrums? Or is it permanent?
Please don't shit talk about my husband, but if you want to call me a retard feel free. I just needed to vent and not just write it down on a note on my phone. Hah. That feels better.

My male coworker has been such a huge pain in my ass lately. First off, he's disabled. But he wasn't born that way…he was under the influence and survived a horrific car accident…it's a miracle he can walk. Which, for a normal person is nbd, but this guy? It's almost like he uses his accident to (attempt to) fish for sympathy, especially from women. He's very manipulative. I can only hear about his damn ankle foot so many times I do NOT give a shit. He's also grotesque, physically, and it makes him a punchable person . He's not fat but he's not in shape either. He's got a bald egg head and a villain face. Pudgy belly. One leg significantly longer than the other. He's fake and a liar, lies about having an egg allergy so he doesn't have to cook them for the customers but sure can fill up the buffet trays with breakfast tornados chaulked full of egg noo proooblem ! He's also a 'where my hug at' guy and has literally told me how he likes my hugs because my smell will linger (BARF) He's SO GROSS God I hate him.
He won't admit this is how it happened, but he recently hobbled his ass around at a sports game and injured himself, had to take like 2 weeks off of work. They wanted to fire him, and still kind of do, since he will need surgery and will be out of commission for a while. The thing that saved his foot miraculously?? A -lift- LMAO he is acting like he can all of a sudden work full time again nooo proooblem since he has a lift PLEASE I was born at night but not last night. This moid is panicking, and rightfully so..no job is going to hold space for you and your ankle foot, sorry! Anyway when he was gone, things stopped breaking. As soon as he comes back he starts breaking shit and messing stuff up. Our boss wanted to implement some of the things I did while he was away (since I was working doubles and triples and frankly I'm more efficient) this guy is literally a dumb ass who fell for an overnight scam call and broke into our (empty) safe despite being a cashless property. They should have fired him then honestly… Anyway now that he's back he's super insecure about is job and keeps saying he's not cool with people being trained to cover his shifts while he's gone and yadda yadda yadda. Just really bossy. I tinfoil he's a control freak because he feels so out of control with his personal life/ankle foot. This man is a control freak and has assault charges from the early 00s to prove it. He has family that works for the state attorneys so he thinks he's above the law and knows the law (soooo annoying because he's wrong 99% of the time)
We recently gave everyone "manager" titles at the front desk to boost morale or some shit (idk wasn't my idea) but I'm the only one who's officially been promoted, title changed in the system, raise given..I even personally met with the owner who gave me their direct line and I've been taking direct orders from them since. Nobody knows this of course because they would be pissed if they knew they weren't really managers and won't get a raise either..
Anyway the owner calls me and texts me everyday, and tells me how they wants the property ran.
This jack ass is going against the owners demands and saying IM butting heads with him lol
I told him if he thinks the owner is wrong he should definitely address his concerns with them since they will be coming by once a week now and he blew up again and demanded I thank him??? Thank him for what I haven't the slightest clue LOL absolutely unhinged it's like I'm watching this poor fella unravel and lord knows I'm the only one who was fighting to keep him on the back burner, not to fire him, but now I'll probably talk with the owner since he's directly defying their orders because he thinks he knows better. These orders are coming from the person who signs his checks. The nerve of some men!!

My husband is not visually feminine, either. Only in his actions.
Feminine men "in touch with their feminine side" are a fucking nightmare. Men should be men and women should be women. There shouldn't be any in between.
I was once young and starry eyed and bought into romcom lies and thought "a man in touch with his emotions would be so great"
They're not great. They're bitchy, annoying, gossipy, over emotional, and always have some fucking complaint. "I hate when you do this" "you always are like this" "why don't you just let me do this" wah wah wah. And no matter how much you change or cater to them it's always something else. Such a negative Nancy.
Like, cheese and sprinkles, if I wanted to marry a damn woman I would've been gay! I married a man, act like a man, damn it!
Otherwise he's a very selfless and devoted husband, so I can't really complain, but sometimes I really want to.
I feel like I'm more stoic than he is because I grew up idolizing my father (who is not particularly stoic, but much more so than my mother) and believed controlling one's emotions was a highly desirable trait.

I think you are grossly misusing the term misogynistic. I don't hate women, I quite like women, especially as I am one. I am happy to be womanly and feminine. However, I don't think men should be feminine as it's often a reflection of the worst of traits of women. The same goes with women who are trying to be masculine, it's often taking the worst traits of men and emulating them, such as promiscuity and logic to the point of lacking empathy.
Recognizing bad traits of women is no more misogyny than it is misandry to recognize the bad traits of men. Neither is it any form of misogyny to recognize that men and women are wholly different creatures with different natures.

My big sister used to beat me when we were kids. She has some mental health issues and they were improperly medicated back then (arguably worse than being unmedicated imo). She also helped me a lot; our mother was awful to us and we ultimately bonded as we distanced ourselves from her. We get along well now, and she doesn't remember most of what she did to me. I fully believe she doesn't remember, and I forgive her, but it still left me really emotionally damaged….

I can't help but flinch when she moves too quickly. Whenever she does something that reminds me of those times, or looks me in the eyes, I shut down and revert to the scared child I used to be. I'm dissociating just thinking about it… It's really hard to write about. I feel so pathetic when I fawn…

Time is healing me. It hurts to write about, but keeping it inside makes my stomach hurt…

I wouldn't call that "feminine" or even "emotional", necessarily. He's being whiny and passive-aggressive. I've dated men and women, all athletes or tradespeople, and this has never been an issue. I can't understand how women put up with obviously chronically childish, failmale whiners that want a mother they can fuck more than they want an equal partner… It's not about finding a "real man" who's stoic enough to be ignored, it's about finding an adult that knows how to handle their own emotions.

I had to take penicillin for an infection a few days ago and I developed allergic reactions to it. Now I've developed hives all over my body. I showed initial signs of allergic reaction within an hour of taking it and I should've stopped it but I just thought that it was usual side effects of taking antibiotics and just kept taking in more doses of it until I realized I fucked up. My whole body from head to foot looks like moon's surface now with blood clots covering every eruption. It's extremely itchy and I keep peeling off the blood clots. The infection is still there because I couldn't complete the full penicillin dose. Now I'm purely focusing on taking care of the allergic reaction.

I wasn't able to do anything for the past few days and only now do I have the strength to write this ventpost. It's probably going to take me a week to recover from all this first before I can take care of the infection, and a month for all the eruptions to clear.

How do you guys 'survive the holidays'? Every time around this time of year, my family gets crazier and crazier, and more aggressive. I would choose to avoid them altogether if I could, but I'm still financially dependent on my parents (I'm look for a job right now, but that's not the point), and even still, I like to see my sister and my cousins. It's just that people like my parents and uncles always fight so much during this period. They are always super nitpicky, aggressive, and catty during this period. I feel like I'm walking on eggshells around them. I really don't know what to do. I always feel like the holidays change people for the worse. It's likely the pressure of buying presents and things stresses them out, but still, they act insane.

My friend has a relative that she lives with who is conspiracy wingnut. This relative is so weird that one time she forgot to throw away some water bottles and they went on a crazy rant saying that she did not do so because of some satanic ritual and that if she lived with a roommate the roommate would hurt her. They also accuse her of gossiping about them to a satanic cult when she isn't. She's wondering if she's the problem, any advice?

Anonymous 106519

>>106517
Tell your friend that she's not the problem, for starters. Second of all, I would advise your friend to minimize time with her that relative/minimize time talking to that relative as much as possible. While I don't think it would be possible for your friend to outright deny she is a satanist to that relative (because the relative does not sound like they will be one for reasoning), you can minimize damage sometimes by 'commiserating' with the mentally ill relative. Do not tell the relative they are right or wrong outright. Learn to noncommittally agree or change the subject on conspiracy theories. Learn how to gray rock people and give them nothing. This will give the conspiracy theorist family member less to work with. Although the family member clearly needs help, I doubt your friend would be able to convince them to get help. That's the advice I would give your friend.

What are your thoughts on telling a relative whenever they forget to do chores that they will get beaten or killed by any roommate they have?

Anonymous 106525

I mean, that's just crazy talk. Most roommates, even most male roommates, would not beat and kill someone for not doing chores. Would they be irritated? Sure. But they'll probably just tell you to do them, or they'll talk shit about you or something. Most people will never use physical violence. Even if they did, assuming your in a first world country, it is illegal to assault someone. You could take legal action. And if you were killed, well most landlords would probably report you being killed, and the killer would likely go to jail. Most people know this, and most people don't wanna go to jail for first degree murder, so why would they kill you? That is to say it is unreasonable to say you would be beaten and killed. To say this is fearmongering on the part of the relative.

I want to whistleblow a roleplay community that has only gotten progressively worse over the years because the community doesn't want to improve despite people criticizing it regularly.

The server playerbase has always been majority male but there's a lot of troons and men that play girls and write extremely cringey CGDCT type anime shit that's just very unfulfilling or interesting, but that's because the admins have basically made rules so that actual conflicts and antagonism in the story are nerfed to hell and back. But you can't tell anyone anything because these scrotes are so touch-starved IRL they enjoy writing out cuddles rather than having any actual character depth. It's fucking sad.

Very few people write male characters, period. Most of them are written poorly, and the ones that are written decently always get taken up and adored, whether they're gay or straight.

I tried to talk to this with one of the troon mods and he basically said he has such internalized misandry that he can't see why anyone would be attracted to males even if they were fictional bishounen types or femboys. It honestly makes me miss my fujo days because writing with other women at least was more fun and more interesting, and characters actually told STORIES rather than filler CGDCT and male-gaze erotic rp.

I'm still trying to look for better roleplay communities that aren't so troon-filled.

I feel so hopeless about my dating life because men don’t want anything serious at this day and age and I have no experience. I’m 24 and I’ve never had a relationship due to being sheltered my entire life, never even kissed anyone either. I moved out 5 months ago and I started dating, I am conventionally attractive and have good social skills so dating is pretty easy for me… went out with this guy I really liked for two months and when he tried to kiss me I backed off because I’ve never kissed anyone, I was too embarrassed to tell him this was the reason so he probably still thinks I straight up rejected him (I told him that was not the case but he’s very insecure idk…) things rapidly escalated and we ended it a few days after… I am extremely crushed even though it’s been over two months since that day because I really liked him and I’ve never felt that way for anyone ever before, I keep thinking that had I not panicked maybe things would have been better between us. He was the only guy that has ever told me that he specifically wanted something serious, which guys my age NEVER do. I went on other dates after him but I keep comparing everyone to him and I keep missing him like crazy even though we only dated for two months lol I genuinely think I’ll never find someone like him again

I screw up enough spine to tell her extremely gently that I don't want to be friends anymore. She says okay, stews for a few days, and comes back with several incredibly entitled paragraphs blaming me for everything. Holy shit.

It's not just about appearances.
Maybe you're just showing some traits that moids appropriate to themselves like independence, assertiveness, aggression, and so on that your female friends are able to subconsciously pick up, but at the same time it's not too in-your-face for the moids around you to notice.
>how masculine my voice is
It doesn't just have to be how it sounds. I feel that someone who is tacit and doesn't talk a lot for example isn't feminine but that's just my opinion.

You shouldn't let others and their opinions influence who you are as a person. Trannies somehow "know" that they feel feminine on the inside. They don't transition just because their friends told them they're feminine while they aren't feeling feminine even a bit, and if they do they're going to regret it. You always have your own voice, underneath all the noises that you take in from others, which will always say the thing that defines you.

>then one lady bitched because I used her vacuum and was gonna tell the manager. But the problem with that is that they think it was the lady who comes in after me. Which I feel awful about. (The hotel literally bought it but I guess no one else can use it but her)
>the managers send snarky messages to the group chat.
My Nerodivergent brain can’t take much more of this petty nonsense.

Hello I'm here to vent about 2 things

Firstly my coworkers (not the new ones I trained but the ones that were there before me) are being hostile because they're jealous of my promotion/raise. It feels like 3 of them are making coordinated efforts to sabotage me, not that it's working, but it's so aggressive and annoying especially when I bend over backwards to lighten their work load and cover their shifts.

Secondly I casually exchanged numbers with some guy in my line of work, because I like to network at my job and make connections, but of course you can never be a pretty lady without some weird behaviour from scrotes- this was so obviosuly not romantic but this scrote must have thought he had foot in the door. I'm annoyed because he would not stop blowing my phone up once he got my number and trying to encroach on my post work plans. I never invited him out. He kept prying for information about where I was going so I told him some random place i had no intention of going to. I didn't even MAKE IT HOME FROM WORK and he's sending me almost a dozen texts. I told him i would let him know about my plans if i wanted to hangout. Hes telling me he's walking in the rain and hoping to see me at that place I mentioned Yada Yada Yada. I made it very clear I had important family things to tend to and I would reach out if I decided to hang out (my polite way of saying I'm not hanging out with him tonight or any night for that matter) why are dudes like this? He also wouldn't stop coming up to my desk at work to pester me,such a turn off to be so desperate, obsessive, a stage 5 clinger. I took a nap and woke up to 8 unread texts from him. If there's one emotion men are great about conjuring up inside of me, it's disgust (and regret)

I hate my sibling, the smugness mixed with no ability to connect any fucking dots and lack of self-awareness. Sometimes I think that maybe I'm jealous of people like that, who don't care what people think about them but my god I wish they tried to understand something from my point of view for once.
Oh and of course since they're trans now you can't even question this wankers life choices apparently.

I backed up the data in my school account after I graduated, but there was an error in the compression. I only just found out today, after my account was deactivated. There were some pictures that were important to me, and now they're gone forever.

Reading about pathology was a bad idea.
I now feel disgusted when I think about the human body and I keep thinking about mast cells and immune response when I look at people. I think I can even sometimes hallucinate internal organs like intestines, testicles and uterus when I look at them.

I'm very angry at my sister right now. She has some autoimmune disease that flares up when she gets stressed and now she wants the whole family to act like her servants and live her life and take care of her baby for her while she just sleeps and complains all day. My mom is being treated like a slave while ruining her sleep cycles badly right now and it's still not enough.

Such a horrible person.

I'm shit. This is why I lost communication with all my friends in the first place. Just because you're mentally getting better doesn't mean you should be forced to do it alone. I have no idea where to meet new people and still jobless. Fuck

I feel intense disgust towards the human body that sweats, stinks, smells bleeds, decomposes, pisses and shits and it kills any form of arousal that comes in me. I think it's OCD.

My father has always been an insane moid, of the few boyfriends I had, he reacted saying he'll "fucking kill" by boyfriend when he saw I had a hickey from him. He justifies this behavior by admitting he gets "irrationally angry", he's protective of me, but he makes weird comments about other teen girls all the time, or tells my 20-year-old brother who literally fits all the criteria of an incel that there are "cute girls" where he's going when all the girls there are like 14/15 to entice him to go with him. He's always yelling, he yelled at me for having a soft voice. He got a new girlfriend who was his age like late 40s who has an 18-year-old teen daughter, he drives her to credit recovery school, makes dinner there, but doesn't pay attention to me, and he also only got this new girlfriend after my mom started talking to a new man, they've been split for over seven uyears. Why are men, specifically conservative fathers like this?

i’m going to be placed on academic suspension most likely and i don’t know how to tell my mom. she tells me i’m her last hope. i don’t understand why it’s so fucking hard for me. and if i get suspended i can’t get an adhd diagnosis because you have to be registered with the university i wanna die so bad ive been contemplating suicide and cutting myself like a loser. i just wish something good would happen for once. i fantasize about an angel saving me i know it’s cringe but i wish it would happen. i miss my old self. i used to get perfect grades in high school and now i can’t even get a c without begging my professor to have mercy on me. and when my mom finds out i don’t know how she’ll react. things have already been stressful for our family

Getting homicidal over being asked to not be called a bitch by my useless boyfriend and being met with, "I'm just joking." Had enough of him being asked to get everything he wants in a relationship and I get nothing. Makes me sick looking at him.

Job hunting is very overwhelming because it feels like you have to be pristine perfect on both image and paper. I am worried the smallest or most unapparent mistake on an application is going to result in my application getting thrown into a black hole. I tend to be quite a careless and clumsy person, after all. On top of that, I'm someone extremely anxious and socially challenged trying to go up against a working world that cares to hire nobody except the one that has the most confident, eloquent, and assertive personality. Feels like I'll never be given a chance.

moid almost followed me home when i got off work and now i'm scared of leaving my house. i say almost in that sense that it felt like he knew what he was doing and then regretted it by shouting that he was sorry. i'm angry, i'm annoyed and, best of all, just paranoid to leave my house!!!

He's trying very hard to send you a dick pic while not being the kind of guy that sends dick pics. He probably believes it's arty and edgy, and in consequence not creepy.

Might as well change your life and then see if you still want death (probably not). The easiest way is to travel. If your under 30, most countries will accept you on a temporary work visa. Find the money for a plane, and go.

Something about going back to live with your family when your mid 20’s pre frontal cortex has finally settled well enough to give you new perspective and illumination, is a really revelatory experience. No wonder I’d wanted to leave the house at 18. The dynamic has always been like this. I pass semi unseen unless I have something related to academics to express. When I want something or ask for something, im made to feel like it’s an inconvenience.
I like it this way honestly. Least attention possible. If my mother were to pay attention it’s another barrage of criticism. Lmao

I had extremely violent intrusive thoughts about beating a scrote that I was extremely angry at up and crushing his skull and ribs by punching the shit out of it. I felt both ashamed at myself for having these thoughts and satisfied at fantasizing about lashing out my anger at him the same time. Of course, I'm not brave or even violent enough to do these things in reality but it just happened in a moment of intense anger and anxiety.

I really hate it when people, usually targeting women, label them ugly just because of a flaw, even when the rest of their traits are beautiful. For instance calling ugly a girl with a stunning face and a slim figure because of a wider jaw, while praising someone else with no apparent flaw but that does not have as pretty features. It's incredibly shallow and frustrating.

My dreams have been either an endless thing of me touching myself and feeling good, so close but never coming, or having a panic attack where I'm just gripping my head and struggling, breathing hard the whole time whatever else is happening in the dream.
It was fun at first but now I'm feeling like a freak, just a little.
