I'm not anti abortion I actually think anyone demented enough to even for a moment consider killing a child should not be allowed to breed, so it's a problem that solves itself and it self culling should become a thing

College is an isolating experience Anonymous 132499[Reply]

college has been such an isolating experience for me, at the beginning i had a lot of friends because im naturally extroverted, i would talk to pretty much everyone, then i realized the same people i interacted with every day were talking shit behind my back, after that i just lost interest in being part of big groups, later i mostly hung out with two of my best friends, then i found out they were talking shit about me too, during all of this i kept trying to self reflect and figure out if i had done something that made people treat me like this, i genuinely couldnt find anything, i was always kind to them, i would help them however i could, even with my closest friends, i know i have flaws like everyone else but i honestly tried to be the best version of myself

then i had a guy friend catch feelings for me, i rejected him, after that things got even worse, now i basically have no real friends in college and every day just feels weird and isolating, im lonely most of the time, i feel like most of my class doesnt like me and it sucks because i havent done anything except be kind to people or stand up for myself when someone treated me badly, a big reason people dont like me is because the guy i rejected spread rumors about me and everyone just believed him because hes popular and basically a microcelebrity, then i found out some girl in my class was telling a guy that i wear makeup every day because i want attention and that im nothing without it, its just exhausting, it feels like no matter what i do people will come up with some reason to hate me, after a while you just stop wanting to bother with anyone, sorry if this sounds like im victimizing myself

Oh shit I've been meaning to reply to this but I forgot. I think you're right. What I'm bothered is people putting any random shit under the "manipulation" umbrella. Like how is projection manipulative in any other way that a random accusation would be?
What prompted me to write this was a video where someone called "If you don't get into Heaven because you didn't believe it's your fault". Like maybe I'm pedantic but that's just rhetoric employing fear.

Anonymous 132465

What's this dichotomy. I prefer relating to the guys who investigate the murder over those two.

Anonymous 132492

>>132463
I think this is understandable, words have meanings and diluting their meaning reduces their utility and can devalue the associated thing the word exists to describe. I think you can distinguish "interpersonal manipulation," which to me seems to be the prior definition I gave and what your image describes from the rhetorical manipulation the video title uses. The root is the same, in the sense that a person is trying to manipulate context and perception to achieve a desired outcome, but one is diffuse and not targeted whereas the other involves direct interference with the victim by the manipulater. Interpersonal manipulation seems to me to be a more significant, damaging, and reprehensible act whereas manipulative rhetoric, while potentially damaging, is not as "personal" or insidious.

I think there are basically common techniques that can be applied across context, medium, and purpose but it's the social distance between victim and perpetrator that seems to be what I'm pulling at.

I do feel I am contradicting myself, however, because you could argue it's not distance but intent. Someone is projecting by accusing someone of doing something they are doing with the intent to truly confound and sow doubt within the victim, whereas a false accusation may simply be to quiet them. Still, both of these FEEL like the end result is manipulation meant to gain some positional leverage over the victim. Is that not manipulation?

The behaviorists liked using rats not just because they were easy to keep and kept the costs and controversies associated with experiments low, but also because they are presumed to be free of contamination by language.

I think those specific examples are because they’re instrumental and deceptive on some level. So I do think any action that is used to deceptively gain leverage is manipulative. But the way the picture positions this is stupid. I mean, the manipulative part here is not the projection. If this was darvo I’d agree.

are women meaner or nicer when you look good? Anonymous 131767[Reply]

Since I've moved to a big city I've had this problem where I'll be minding my business in a grocery store and some crackhead middleaged woman will try and start a fight with me. It happens a few times a year. I never instigate, I always keep to myself and stay far away from people. They'll throw insults usually, but last week a woman tried hitting me with her cart.

I always look like a bum when I go grocery shopping. My friend suggested I dress up when I shop so that these women will feel inferior and leave me the fuck alone. Does that work? I thought they'd get jealous and the opposite would happen.

Idk. Let me know what you guys have experienced.

You probably seem harmless and kind, and that type of thug really likes to hit on women. If you dress better, they might think you have more money and want to ask you for more things; the best thing to do is walk around with a serious face, homeless people and drug addicts like to intimidate people who seem excessively kind.

Update: maybe it hasn't been long enough to make a real observation. But it seems like people are ghetto around me and not toward me lmao. I also got a job. Have had zero crackhead encounters or middle aged women try and fight me. My theory is that I look rich enough to sue them.

ladies are nice to me because they can tell that i am kind of autistic by my penetrating brown-eyed gaze and don't feel threatened by me. i also have a baby-face.
in general, i think most people are nicer to you when you look better. in my country i have high trust features (i am pale) so that makes people trust me quickly and be nice to me.
i think you should fight those ladies back. show them how a real schizo fights.

i am sad Anonymous 132452[Reply]

for whatever reason, i could not stop hurting myself and making bad choices since i was a teenager. always doing weed to try to fill the void of being alone. i never just slowed down or took a rational approach to fix the problem. like simply taking care of my body and working hard. instead i coasted by and am now haunted by regret. i hate feeling envious over people in a relationship. but its a constant dagger in my side everywhere i turn. i failed to do simple things that others can do without thinking. i am a loser lol. my brain is legit damaged with severe memory problems now because of escapism with some trash drug and i've been ready to rope because of that for a few years. my life is now 90% more dull than it already was, which was already bad to begin with. i try to ignore the hurt and embrace the absolute joke of a human i am. and i am sometimes okay at it by just stop caring/searching for stuff outside of myself and needing anything from the world. but every shitty music song practically is about love and i am always reminded that i am worthless and defunct. even with my dog who looks like the puppy in pic rel who is the best thing ever i still feel like i am not enough. but not only that, an existential curse of the feelings i have rid myself of. its this transcendental void that kills me inside. i can barely concentrate or do anything with my life because i just rot in a perpetual state of regret. but i try to not be so harsh on myself and dwell on the sad cloud that keeps following me everywhere i step. my mom tells me to move forward, but its so hard your entire life and mind has been irreversibly ruined. i need to let go of this negativity.

I used to feel like this a lot of the time when I was younger. I'm not much older now, but somewhere between 22 and 23 my brain finished developing and I decided that suicide wasn't an option. That made me consider how everything else was possible. I had recently survived a suicide attempt around that time, too. I've also struggled with pill addiction, and I still will do most pills I get my hands on… I can tell you that the pain will stop, and not only when you die, but it can stop now while you are still alive. I tell you this because I was once you. I think I also got some slight brain damage from pills and I don't remember a lot of things. It's not too bad. Is your mom supportive of you?

bullied kids will never be taken seriously Anonymous 132440[Reply]

ok so basically what eats me alive lately is thinking about how the things i have been ridiculed for liking and straight up bullied is now liked by the people that hated me for liking said thing.
am i stupid for letting such thought bother me?, well, i know it’s stupid but part of me feels a bit sad, knowing i spent half my childhood up to adolescence being made fun of and hated for such little things, in which also made me extremely depressed and self isolated. seeing what made me happy and people hated me for liking being now their “interest” is so soul crushing to me.
it makes me think that all the pain i’ve felt while being bullied was just nothing, my sister used to be so mean and angry towards me for liking certain music and now she booked 2k in tickets for the concert of the bands I LIKED.
and now simply when i bring up about it it’s like “well that’s not true” “i dont remember it”.
am i in the wrong for feeling sad over things like this? it hurts me sometimes.

Anonymous 132442

Bullied kids are taken seriously. That is why people who bullied you will never straight out admit what they did to you, it may sound obvious yet it's not.

People often expect others to change, to admit their mistakes. See mouthwashing, Jimmy straight out admitted what he did in the end of the game. Yet despite what he did admit, he did it in front of the consequences of his actions despite admitting it when the current thoughts happened through his mind.

What Curly experienced bullying from Jimmy was for the fact he instead of dealing with thoughts of helplessness, was the feelings of lacking more than what he had. Returning to a home, having a wife and kids and not spending his whole life on the jet.

If you think about it again, you are practically expecting them to admit the responsability of their acitons, something women often are not teached about because society expects women to bother about other things depending on where you live. Yet most of the times as I might add as well, women are not expected to fully mature and thus in consequence, they raise improper children most of the times. Or to the contrary, they are expected to be as mature as possible since children to justify abuse and labors against their will, which they might as well use irresponsability as a way to escape those chores.

The best you can do is do the same they did to you, without making it noticeable. I would recommend you to directly overcome it.

Sometimes women are taught to not be responsible because since children we are taught women should not be responsible about the consequences of their actions.

To mature is to be responsible most of the time, it's part of growing up. And it comes with judgement from others about your past all the time. Currently bullying is seen as something not cool, it's popular to defend others. If they do what's popular they will not let others know they remember what they did and even justify it.

Leave things there and if possible make them feel guilt, make them feel irresponsible, learn manipulation if you want.
