>>79452Yes. Pretty much everything about western culture is so toxic right now. The non stop bad news streams, all the political bullshit and left vs right garbage, social media garbage, superficial garbage, poverty and recession and inflation, the war shit and evil politicians trying to ruin everyones lives and make everyone as miserable as possible, the extreme beauty standards and normalization of excessive plastic surgery, hypersexualization everywhere, pedo shit slowly but surely becoming mainstream, tranny and woke shit being pushed constantly, the internet addiction and loneliness epidemic, incels becoming a bigger threat to society as well as the boiling hatred for women you can feel everywhere, as well as the constant scaremongering. However I don't think other cultures have it any better. Pretty much everywhere in the world is toxic right now. If you look at Korea and Japan they've been stuck in an extremely toxic culture trap for the last 10-15 years. I assume places like South America and everywhere else are similar.

Anonymous 79611
>>79610I dunno, I interpret "weird kid" as a kid with sociopathic tendencies, or possibly untreated autism (which can go hand in hand in some cases). Humans can tell when there's something
wrong with someone and tend to avoid them. Not because they're shy or quiet, but because they don't socially interact in a way that's recognized as normal and healthy, which triggers the natural reaction of wariness (like "this person is strange and therefore could be dangerous"). It's usually things that are picked up instinctively that a "weird kid" lacks, not due to them being too loud or too quiet or having weird hobbies.

Also being a female alone in an unfamiliar place is never going to be 100% comfortable, no matter when you go.

Dammit. Thought I had recovered, but my self-image issues came back to bite me in the ass. I just want to no longer give a damn about the way I look and live.
>cystic, nasty, acne. Like open wound looking shit. It has gotten way worse in my late 20s. I've cut out all sugar, almost all carbs, all dairy, etc. I had 1000x better skin when I lived off of junk food as a teen. I have been on accutane for a and tretinoin year now. 0 progress
>a genuinely horrible body. I always knew I had a bit of a weird body. So, I lost weight, hitting 120 pounds at 5"10. I weight lift and I am skinny as shit. Problem? I look like a goddamned tank. My ribcage and shoulders are massive. My goddamned body fat % is much lower than my petite friend who is overweight yet looks skinnier than me. How do these logistics even work?? Throw in being an apple shape with a washboard chest. Am I supposed to become anorexic for my body to be remotely ok?
>in fact I'm bigger than almost all men in my area, this isn't a joke, I get called huge by men all the time and this is the only type of feedback I have ever gotten from men ever

I also have unfortunate big cyst-to-open-wound type of acne (made me look like a meth head at its peak) and a surprising amount cleared when I started taking EPO. Might be worth getting tested for an imbalance, since spiro or something else can be prescribed if it's big.
Pimple patches are also a good cover if you don't already use them. Starface makes them in fun shapes to make the ordeal less depressing.
Sending good wishes for you, either way. As for the body shit, I wish women didn't face so much pressure to be "perfect" and that we could just exist in our bodies as humans. It's reasonable to be frustrated about being made to be insecure about our fucking

I dont really know where else to vent about this but I sort of need to let it out somewhere because I didn't even want this situation to bother me this much. I always tried to hold a stance of "don't let the parasocial stuff get to you with youtubers" and I am not really attached to any youtubers because I know that whoever is behind the screen isn't the same person as the character they are acting for the video. The difference is though, I have been watching this guy (Dirtybiology in picrel) since I was 13 since middle school (and I didn't have the whole awareness of not getting attached to youtubers back then). His videos are just scientific vulgarisation and were fun and pretty high quality. He has a lot of budget and people working for him. He adopts are very easy going personnality which makes him easely likeable. He recently got massive accusations against him (8 women). Behind camera he is very mysogynistic, has sexually harassed women, manipulated women and worst of all raped a woman when she was 'freshly' 18 while pressing on her neck so that she couldn't escape. I really wish this situation didn't get to me as hard but I can't stop feeling so sad over all of this. Whatever these women must have gone through is hell. I am a rape victim as well so seeing this youtuber I sort of looked up to or at least enjoyed (i wish i didnt in the first place) turn out to be a rapist etc etc… it crushed my trust again and again. You really cannot trust any apperances. I know these concepts are like the basics (the whole don't trust ppl, all moids are potential rapists etc etc) but it still gets to me atm. It's especially ironic because he himself has made a video where he details how some youtubers hide the fact that they are predators. It now feels like he has made this video to direct attention away from him and so that his audience trusts him more cuz "no predator would explain in detail how a predator works cuz it'll just make the predator workings come to light and be against what the predator wants which is to not be found". What brings me rage is seeing how the french alt right reacts to it. They're so eager to defend the guy saying that the women that are speaking out are feminazis or some alt right buzzword like that. The guy himself made a twitter post which roughly translates to "I support women talking against their rapist but not when it is me". The youtuber loves throwing the word "diffamation" around to make the victims look like liars and stuff. It brings me rage and sadness. You can dismiss this post. I'm just sad and upset and shocked.

Friday night, stoned, I felt something strange. An alien sentiment. I was relating to the protagonist of some film. Down to getting aroused when she was getting aroused. It was an illuminating experience, in that it unveiled how much of an unemphatic person i am normally. I mean, I have enough social tact to pretend like I'm concerned about other people and their worries. But the awful truth is, I've only ever been concerned about how their worries are related to me; and how my reaction and support may affect my image in their eyes.
I cried that night because I realized I may never experience genuine love. I will only ever be drunk on the feeling of liking to be loved, and will misconstrue it as actual affection. This is both good and bad. Good in the sense that I'll never really be hurt by what other people do to me. I'll never be as attached to a person the way they are to me. And bad because I'll only ever be addicted to love and attention they give me. My low self esteem and my narcissim will always prevent me from developing healthy standards and boundaries with strangers, because I'll always prefer them loving me over not giving a shit even if i don't necessarily love them back.

>>80104Anon I'm the opposite of you kek. I love the idea of being attracted to someone and imagining myself being with them in my head and then once they actually seem attracted to me it repulses me and disturbs me. Even still, I feel your sadness and loneliness. Something in our brain is preventing us from genuinely loving others (or maybe in my case being loved). However, I don't think you should limit yourself by saying you will feel this way for the rest of your life. We are so malleable to change and growth. The first step is self-awareness, which it seems you have. I think time plays a big role in things. Even if you know where your blockages come from, it still takes time before your brain kind of "gets it" and starts to change the way it perceives things. Don't lose hope anon, although I understand how you feel. I also get really worried that I'm going to be this way forever.

I've been reading someone's memoir about living abroad for a year in a country where I lived for a bit too. The book was really fun to read at first but I realized today that it feels like an alternate reality of what I could have done if I wasn't an autist. They were able to integrate themselves more in 6 months than I could do in a few years in the same country. Lots of local friends, nice place to stay, good language abilities, many work opportunities, etc etc.
I'll just never be able to have these things. It doesn't matter how hard I try, my face is always wrong, my body language is wrong, and my speech abilities are affected. It feels as if there's a conspiracy and everyone knows I don't deserve nice things, so they lose interest as soon as they realize it's me.

I have lived a comfy female separatist life for a few years now. Recent experiences (like interacting with my friends' boyfriends) have caused me to shift my perspective and I don't think all men are awful anymore although I still really have no interest in interacting with them unless I have to for work or if they're dating one of my friends or something. I recently met a guy who is really easy for me to talk to. That doesn't happen often when I talk to men (or people in general, but especially men lol). We have been hanging out and I think it would be good for me to have more friends in the area because at this point all of my friends are long-distance. But then the other half of me keeps criticizing him and thinking "ugh that's so cringe and stupid" when he says/does certain things or being overly self-conscious because I don't want people to think we're on a date. He hasn't proven himself to be a bad person (yet) and has only been nice and understanding so far. The things I criticize him for in my head that I think are embarrassing, I would have absolutely no problem with if he was a girl I was talking to instead lol. So half of me thinks this friendship is pointless because what is the point of being friends with men since they all make me cringe, but then the other half of me thinks that it would be nice to have a person I can talk to comfortably in-person. I wish I could be normal lol.

I'm so fucking confused on how and what i should eat. I moved to Paris during Ramadhan, so my body didn't even have time to adjust before getting violently thrust into a routine of 30k steps with less than 900kcals consumed daily. I was already losing weight whilst leading a very sedentary lifestyle, by getting into a deficit in a budget of 1400kcals, but the new routine changed my body from top to bottom. This is the first time in my life that I can fit into size 32's.
I probably got to 44.0kilos at my lowest, and now that I'm back to a very reasonable budget of 1300/1400 kcals a day, I can feel myself piling back the weight (I was 45.4 kilos this morning). Yes, I know it was inevitable, but on the one hand I can't stay in the 900 deficit forever (I lost my period for two months) so the reverse diet is okay (reasonably). But at the same time I don't want to be fat and pudgy again.
Feels like things were much clearer when I was in deficit. My whole life revolved around food, and looking forward to the next meal (especially breakfast) and the nervous excitement I'd get when i check if something might fit in my budget or not. I even miss the guilt that would grip me if I ever eat something "hefty" and the awful panic i'd get into if i step on the scale before going to the bathroom. Now I don't have anything to look forward to when i step on the scale because the fucking number is only ever going to go up and it won't fucking stabilize (apparently).
I suppose I could always become a pilates girlie since gym is fucking expensive in this god forsaken city.

This guy dumped me after only 1 month of being together, and on my birthday. I miss him and feel lonely without him. Even tho he was a stupid creepy moid, I still love him. It sucks. I have no friends, my family is apathetic and probably hates me. I can't study or concentrate in my hobbies no matter what I do, I see no future for myself. I've been depressed for weeks now, I only get out of bed to play video games and then go back to sleep all day, my hair is a mess. I just don't know anymore. Maybe I should just end it all. After I met him I really thought that all this loneliness I felt ever since I was a child was gone, I finally felt happy. But then he left, like everyone else in my life. Everything is just so tiring and I feel like everything is my fault, I just can't deal with that anymore, it hurts so much. Where should I seek happiness? there's nothing else left for me. No matter how good I look, no matter how hard I try to fit in or be myself, no matter how much I try to love myself and be better, they all just leave. Will I ever be loved? Will I ever find true happiness?

First of all for every 1000 people threatening to an hero there's maybe 1 that actually does it, threatening suicide is an emotional manipulation tactic and a common one at that, people who want to kill themselves do it.
Even on the off chance he might actually do it, you can't sacrifice your own life for someone else's sake.
Get out of there ASAP and if you get an impression he might kill himself don't interact with him, call the police and report it.
Do not give him any reward whatsoever for threatening suicide and go.
And before anyone here (or on another site screencapping this, which is more likely) thinks this is an anti-men thing, it isn't, this advice is entirely sex-agnostic.

I was feeling somewhat melancholic because I reached the conclusion that i was too self centered and ego driven to ever experience love as a genuine, spontaneous and pure sentiment. That might explain why Ive been a femcel to this day.
The dude wasn't necessarily a bad person. And my feelings might have been genuine and not just something stemming purely out of gratitude for the way he took care of me/treated me. He treated me like I was the center of his universe. Paid attention to small, irrelevant details. But I was constantly on guard, a. because he was a cheater and i was helping him cheat emotionally (tbf we've never so much as touched each other sexually), b. because i was baffled every time he paid me a compliment or claimed i was intelligent or whatever the fuck. Either he was projecting what he wanted onto me (because of the pressure of his relationship) or i had too low an esteem for myself to accept the compliments as anything other than the delusions of a guy who simped too hard.
Ultimately, I think what truly disappointed me in him was how much of an immature child he was. His feelings, nice though they may be, are just too non committal and tepid for our big age (24). He was always so careful around the word "love" and only ever employed the word "like". So was I, but for me that was a defense mechanism because I really didn't see us lasting long anyways (even in ideal circumstances).

Seems to me that you're more desperate and neurotic showing more of a different attachment issue.

If the impairments bad enough it's preventing you from engaging in the life you want to live that's a pretty good example of mental illness.

Friend #2 barely responds to my texts, never likes my stories, doesn't like the memes I send in the GC, and doesn't want to hang out with me. I'm positive she hates me now. She works part time and isn't going to uni, so she has the free time to reply. She often hangs out with other people.
Friend #3 hasn't done anything bad (yet), but I have the feeling that she is just using me as a back up friend.
I feel worthless and empty. I wish someone would love me, or prefer me over others. I hate not having a best friend and not being anyone's favourite person.

He means so much to me and I've spent many hours thinking of him during these months, but I'm afraid he may not want me around anymore. Heck, he may not be in the country anymore.
I won't know until I try and in the end I just want him to be okay, even if we're no longer "compatible" (lmao) as friends. If we were ever truly compatible at all.

>>79835>>79847>>79869>>80057>>80355My loneliness is starting to outweigh my desire to avoid other people. I'm starting to get old enough that my lack of connections with other people is really freaking me out - I'm not close to my family and I only have on friend.
People used to try to get close to me, but I had a lot of bad experiences and learned to close myself off so hard the invitations stopped coming. Which was great for some years. Now I have no idea how to get close to people.
Part of it is that I've allowed to myself to get super weird, I have a ton of niche interests and I got off social media a couple years back. I live in a really conservative city - seems like women my age at work have just had kids and given up on being individuals, and the males are gross coomers. I know how to politely listen to people talk about themselves and their interests I don't share, but I've got this yearning for people I have things in common with. But I don't get out and culturally there's not much for people who don't like to party or breed
I talk with my friend about moving to a city with a culture we'd actually enjoy, and overall right now life is good aside from wanting friends besides him. But I'm perpetually afraid he's going to die and I'm going to be all alone with no one but my insane mother I speak to twice a year and alienated sister I speak to even less (and my father whom I cut off over a decade ago, but he may as well be dead.)
Pretty sure if I don't want my eventual death alone to be discovered via smell, I'm gonna have to do volunteer work so at least some junkies in a halfway house will give a shit if I exist

I kind of realized recently that imageboards aren’t really populated by a lot of users. Even places like 4chan where it seemingly has a lot of users. it’s kind of embarrassing because i just came across a post by someone i know on one of these threads i can tell it’s them and it got me thinking if people can spot me out too. I have a lot of detailed schizo ramblings during depressive episodes and that thought is just embarrassing. I’m probably going to stop sharing and just resume to lurking. Had to get that off my chest lol

It's been a bit over a month since I broke up with my abusive ex-bf. It ended ok, things were bad since february so it wasn't a surprise when I cut things off.
I had some nostalgic moments and some loneliness where I missed him, but I luckily whenevr I recalled something good, I remembered that was a rare moment, with a lot of manipulation involved and other shit.
I liked being in a relationship, and being with someone who actually cares about me should be better, but right now I'm not feeling it, I don't know when I'll be ready again.
I downloaded tinder, but all the profiles there feel like unreal, where the does cc recommend I could find good men? Or just make friends?

>>80581Yep. The only good relationships I’ve had were with people I met either through theater or online-but-not-a-dating-site. Online dating has the same “market for lemons” problem as buying a used car or hiring employees. I even include myself in this — the times I’ve used OLD have always been when I’m most unwell and directionless.
I once got kind of offended at someone that decided me being single was unacceptable and kept pressuring me to set up a profile. If I was super concerned over someone being lonely I might try to set them up with a friend, but recommending OLD comes across to me as saying “hey, you seem too defective for real life, have you tried the meat market for predators and crazy people?”

Gas lighting: do it didn't work well cause I got a great memory for lived things, but the attempts where there.
Guilt trippping: a whole lot, about me dumping him, about not giving him enough atention after we broke up the first time and were getting back together, about working abroad and leaving him behind.
Financial abuse: Not really what you imagine, but he'd encourage me to buy him gifts which I could barely afford, I'm talking upwards 1k dollars, on top of the plane tickets. Besides me having to pay for a lot of our dates and hotels.
And accompaning all that was the lack of care for me or my hobbies, doing stuff for me like getting me flowers or something, sexual lazyness and inatentiveness too.
Worse is he would promise me a lot of things, for gifts, or baking me something I'd really like, or exploring more stuff in bed and never coming through.
Eventually he started a gay onlyfans cause he was short on money, he wasn't he was living above his means and had a lot of expenses that he could cut no problem. When I told him that I didn't like it and I considered it cheating adjacent, he told me i had always been jelous, and insecure, that he didn't want to do it either, but I didn't know what it was like being poor and having no money, all while ordering sushi every week, paying to do different sports activities every day almost, and generally buying whatever game or thing he wanted.

>>80649i have a theory, it's because a lot of women need an emotional connection to their partners or potential ones, and moids as long as they get okay sex and ego stroking (even if forced) loyalty are fine with a relationship. they don't rely on feelings as much, so believing women are whores, liars, bad doesn't hinder their ability to have a relationship they consider satisfying. if only they knew. however women tend to need a way more positive impression of someone to engage with them in that way, or at least the hope that someone can one day change for the better. admitting to yourself the majority of men are trash requires a lot of strength or emotional non-involvement that lots of women simply can't find in them, and they prefer to pick on you for being misandric than to accept a reality like that, hence the lack of same amount of support you see on stuff like incel spaces.

i decided to be more "open" to strangers soliciting me on facebook (usually old school/uni mates) and i get hit with a message from some dude who says he booked us a spot for the weekend in a "romantic" restaurant and he only has a 24 window of cancellation. I don't know the guy (we went to the same school, he's 3 years older) but ive been getting pressured by my parents to be more open to this sort of shit (im 24) and i get the feeling they're scared of my femceldom.
I just don't know how to walk the fine line between being cordial but firm (saying no). I end up either automatically shunning the male gender in its entirety, or letting myself get manhandled (I had my ass fondled yesterday by a drunk friend and i felt nothing nor did i know how to react)

This is why moids are fine with using escorts and mail order brides and having a relationship with someone who has nothing in common with them and doesn’t even know enough of his language to have a conversation with him. Moids cant love it’s just about getting their dick wet and the ego boost of having a woman doing everything for them, even if she’s paid for. All throughout history moids went around kidnapping and raping women from other tribes who couldn’t speak the same language as them and had nothing in common with them and forced them to marry them against the woman’s will. Men are fine with a slave or sex for rent arrangement as a relationship which is why they’re so disgusting.

I had this friend in school who would sporadically bully and annoy me, usually because I was a bit of a chubby, introverted teen back then. I was never afraid of her, but rather of the act itself and so tried to mitigate the chances of it happening. But in a weird way, that time of my life was also the happiest in my life. She was outgoing and direct and got me into popular circles, and when I moved schools and she moved on to do god-knows-what, I had to always latch onto different groups of people and only felt fleetingly happy. Sometimes she would drop by my class and I would follow her like a cat and we would be playful with each-other, but that was then and there.
I saw her working a minimum-wage position a while before, but she seemed so happy to see me and had clearly retained her outgoing charm, whereas I would die of shame if I was a cashier or something. I may be adorned with expensive clothes and jewelry, but she has both life and spirit. Whereas I am a cold corpse and feel nothing but resentment. I told my bf, but he said some useless stuff I don't care about and failed to understand the situation.

this is the pettiest, "my glass shoes are too tight" type of vent but here goes. i'm so annoyed that my parents refuse to help me get an apartment. my parents are wealthy by the standards of our country, but they have never lifted a finger to help me. they help my sister all the time, sending her huge sums of cash (often without her even asking for it) because she has a full-time job and a family. right now my number one priority is moving out of my parent's house, but they want me to prove myself and obtain stable employment before they offer me money to help with housing. which is understandable. i think they think i'll become a lazy bum living on their dole. however, i have had jobs in the past and lived independently in the past – i lived in four different apartments, two of them in a different country even, before i moved back in with my parents due to the rona. i work part time, and have tried to find jobs locally and my dad has even driven me to interviews, so it's not like they don't know i'm trying. they have repeatedly asked when i'll go back to doing my old job, so i think they're basically banking on me leaving the country. but damn, what i wouldn't give for just a little rent assistance to live here. i could have moved out years ago. every time i ask them about it, my parents say they know i don't like living with other people (when i say i can find a roommate so the rent assistance won't be so high, never mind that they know i'm over the chronic shyness that made roommates difficult in the past), or tell me they can't afford it (they absolutely can).

This will make some people here angry but:
Some guy is cheating on his wife with me. We were friends before this affair has started 1 year ago. It hasn't resolved itself despite being discovered several times.
I tried to leave but came back around every time, I am now sure that this is a codependant relationship. I have no friends except for this guy and won't qualify for psychotherapy until 2024. Whenever I try to seperate, I find myself completely alone, with noone to even talk to, for days on end. The loneliness more than the loss of this guy makes me suicidal. Everytime I try to befriend new people, I magnetically attract even worse types. I really need help, but I'm not getting it yet and until then the hope that he'll come around one day is my last straw.
Today was a bad day. This guy and I spent the last week intensely preparing an exhibition, and he tells me now, that his wife is going to come to the opening tomorrow. She hates my guts, thinks I am a psycho who manipulated her husband and made him cheat, and is really sociable and nice wheras I am the most quiet, scared sperg you can imagine.
The bottom line: These people blasting their whatever happy shards of a relationship in everyone's face are going to be in my safe space and socialize as a couple, right infront of people who already are shaming me AND infront of my art. They are going to look at my paintings, they are going to see our situation in it, they're going to cringe and then go home, have dinner, watch TV and fuck eachother in their little perfect world.
I don't feel envious of this shitshow of a marriage, but I really want someone - anyone to be with me. Just hold eachother at night, just having someone to talk to. I hate that he made me believe he's going to divorce and be this for me. I hate that they both believe in this "homewrecker" narrative, like it wasn't him serial cheating who is wrecking the home and her having no self-respect allowing it to be this way and living in a ruin. I hate that this wife makes shitty pixelart of her husbands paintings and puts them on Instagram, the latest being titled "Life is fantastic". Your life is so fantastic you got to hold people hostage: I hate that even if he wanted to be with me, he wouldn't leave, out of obligation and because he is put under a massive amount of pressure by his 10 years older wife who enforces his learnt helplessness and allows him to believe he is unable to live on his own, write coherently, manage an own bank-account or even cheat by his own volition. She really thinks she's his guardian or something. When she went through our texts and saw me calling him a mamas boi she flipped so hard he almost moved out. But he got sick and now everything is "on good terms" again.
If he really loved me - why stay in this marriage?
If he doesn't love me and is an abuser - why stay married to him?
Normally I sympathize and believe she's being deluded by a cheater. But today my sympathy is running low.

Is this bait?
The only "homewreckers" out there are the shitty moids who shit all over their wedding vows. Nothing immoral about sleeping with a married person. When it comes down to it, it was the married person's choice. If anything it is a good thing to expose adulterous assholes as early as possible so their spouses don't end up hurt down the line. Its not the "homewrecker's" fault that their marriage wasn't strong enough or that their spouse has poor character.
The "homewrecker" did not vow on the wedding day not to fuck your husband, but your husband vowed not to fuck any other women. It is HIS responsibility.
Homewrecking is the biggest lie ever. Usually the wife is just so angry and needs a place to direct her anger, but she doesn't want to direct it at her spouse who she still loves, so she directs it at the "homewrecker".
The cheating moid then weaponizes these feelings and manipulates her to evade as much responsibility ad possible.
Sometimes the genders can be inverted but considering cheatinf stats its most commonly men who do this.
Also BPD is not "female psychopathy", psychopathy and BPD are almost polar opposites.

>>80649>>80691The whole lack of female comradery and unity are built into most cultures and succeed, and it's one of the biggest reasons patriarchy has thrived for 6000 godforsaken years
It's made easier for men because adhering to stereotypes, for them, is empowering. They also get to bond over shitting on women and coomer culture. This gives them tons of shared interests even across racial and economic classes.
Commonality and shared interests are crucial for group cohesion. Like with men, it's easiest to bond with other women over shared stereotypes like motherhood, enhancing their appeal to men, and complaining about men. That means most of the social bonding women do is based in their subservience. A lot of feminists spurn these stereotypes for obvious reason, and that gives us little to bond over. Common hatred of men and dislike of our oppression isn't enough.
Feminists women need a shared CULTURE that includes joyous things, but we're all so individualistic we seem to have knee-jerk reactions AGAINST anything form of fitting in. Like we're trying way too hard to over-correct for the "all women are the same" perception
I wish we could all love to learn guns, weapons, and hand-to-hand combat sports. But I see this repeated mantra of "Women shouldn't HAVE to arm themselves to feel safe!" while rates of violence against women continue to skyrocket

My cat passed away about a year a go now. I miss waking up with a cat at the foot of my bed, or hearing my door open and a cat meowing for food or attention. I miss opening the door to come home and hearing the little paws running up to meet me. I miss the comfort of the purrs. I want to get a new cat so fucking bad but I still have to finish paying off the stupid fucking vet bill and my housing situation is gonna be a little questionable for the next year or two (not sure what my plans are + finding housing is so competitive rn that I wouldn't want to have to turn down a place because they don't allow cats) so now is just not really a great time to get one and I'm so fucking sad.
I think what makes me extra sad is I feel like I am projecting all of my feelings of like "I am not allowed to have this because I don't deserve it". Like I can't have a cat bc I can't afford it, I can't wear certain things or try dating because I haven't reached my goal weight yet, I don't have the career I want because I have accomplished XYZ yet, etc. etc.

>>80903There are definitely hobbies and interests that are considered stereotypically male like sports and cars. Moids never feel embarrassed for being interested in them because society does not shame them for it (hell the reason most of them aren't embarassed of their porn addiction is because it's still an assertion of their male power, to consume females and service their own pleasure shamelessly.) There's nothing to disincentive them from engaging in these hobbies as there's no stigmas against them - on the contrary. Being interested in sports and cars affirms their masculinity. Sure there's plenty of guys aren't interested in them, but there's also a lot of men who only take an interest in them to fit in socially, especially with other men.
You're right that the list of "acceptable female activities" is extremely limited (and many revolve around servicing men). And because society hates women, ANYTHING that is considered stereotypically female will be seen as degrading. Hence women avoiding feminine stereotypes and falling into "not like other girls" toxic mindsets. We know it's just a coping mechanism, but it's also dividing and isolating. Women rarely take up hobbies with the express purpose of seeking out the company of other women, and suggestion of doing so is often poorly received.
I've been trying to read about sociology and psychology for a couple of years now to understand patriarchy and misogyny better. The truth is humans feel comfort in familiarity and that is how we organize ourselves socially. We are a social species, fitting in a survival imperative, and most people do not want to give us everything that is familiar and comfortable to them to fit in. So they seek out others like themselves.
If our only commonality is our biology and being oppressed by men, our main topics of conversation will always be based around these things. And that's what makes a lot of feminist spaces online such depressing buzzkills. The suffragette movement was successful in part because the women had a lot in common socially and so organizing and communicating was easy.
Even you think women shouldn't have to have things in common to feel connected, are you actively opposed to women actively trying to choose what hobbies/activities to promote within feminist spaces? The ones chosen for us suck. Social alienation is on the rise, adults have fewer and fewer friendships, and feminism is divided as hell. If you go to /feels/, a lot of people on this board admit to being socially alienated and deeply lonely. I know I am.

I don’t trust anyone who labels others as bpd, you’re probably a man too, it’s always scrotes doing it, any woman who feels more than one emotion gets diagnosed as bpd by scrotes and I’m sick of it.
Anonymous 80918
what is it about myself that makes scrotes particularly antagonize me?
i'm in a server with a bunch of other girls and some moids, and most of the girls share my negative views on men and express them freely.
however, this doesn't stop the guys from being neutral or outwards liking them.
but when it comes to me, they constantly seem to have a bone to pick, and disrespect me often.
it doesn't boil down to our physical appearance because i never showed any pictures of myself, and none of the girls did either.
its not that i want to be liked by those types of scrotes, it just frustrates me that im given a different treatment for seemingly no reason. i wonder what's the logic behind it.

If I created the impression I was against anyone pushing anything, it was unintentional. I guess I see nothing wrong with others collecting relationships that way. The idea or need for doing so is alien to me though. I pick hobbies based on what I want to do and nothing else. I can't see spending my time on something that I found not to be enjoyable. I do not dislike being alone, and I do not feel a need to belong, not even to the most masic groups, say "women" for example. I recognize this is abnormal, but that doesn't mean I can truly understand other people's feelings or desires. I really can't even conceptualize what people actually gain from each other, other than that they broadly feel more satisfied with themselves. I want to be able to connect to others based on compassion and altruism I guess.

I also recognize that times I enjoyed being alone more also coincided with times I was obviously depressed (but often didn't realize it at the time because I was so used to it)
My real interest in wanting to see more shared interests within feminist circles is that it observably fundamental to human bonding. I don't want to just come to boards to complain, I want to see things improve.
It also makes me angry daily to watch men band together to lie about the existence of misogyny on places like reddit but feminists can't even agree on things we like to do together. Part of the allure of redpill social media/the 'manosphere' is that it helps give lonely failures of men a sense of community.
Feminism is failing women at the moment. We can observe how other social movements are succeeding, abstain from what we find ethically unacceptable, and copy the rest.
But who knows. Maybe feminist unity will never be possible for the simple fact that you have to be so highly individualistic in order to become a feminist in the first place

>>80924There was a very strong, aggressive, popular and passionate radfem movement in the early 2010s. However many of these feminists ended up getting doxxed and having their pictures and info posted all over the internet by moids and trannies (especially around gamergate era) as well as rape and death threats so many were forced into scrubbing the internet of their profiles. Scrotes on 4chan and twitter would compile their pictures and tear them apart over their appearance, find nudes of them and send them to their families etc, there was such a huge backlash against feminist women that I think it scared many women away from the feminist movement.
Now that we’re in an incredibly image obsessed, pickme societal phase (with tiktok and shit) as well as men openly threatening to rape and kill women constantly online, the fear is even bigger. Many girls seek male approval and protection and feel that it’s safer to kowtow to and flatter moids than to fight for respect (we know that’s bullshit because look how meek submissive trad wives have been treated through history and are still treated in the Middle East etc) The passion and fight just isn’t in women anymore, they’re already incredibly stressed and preoccupied with how fuckable and desirable they must look at all times. I’m not sure what the answer is, maybe now that Roe vs Wade has been overturned, normie women are finally waking up to how much men want to control us and take away our rights.

I feel like I have wasted my life. I am 23 and completely alone. I never had a boyfriend and the last time I had friends is such a distant memory that I barely even remember what friendship feels like. The only people I talk to on a regular basis are supermarket cashiers and my parents.
Having online friends would be enough for me, but even posting a message on Discord makes me anxious. I have zero self confidence and an extreme fear of exposing my true self to others. My social skills amount to playing pretend and hoping that nobody notices how deranged and pathetic I am. I have to pay extreme attention to even stand a chance at passing for a normal person in a conversation and I still fuck it up more often than not.
I think there is something fundamentally wrong with me (autism or some related condition), but I'd honestly rather die than talk to a therapist about this.
I made peace with the prospect of never finding a boyfriend, but not having friends is driving me insane. I feel so lonely and jealous of people with friends. I can't envision myself ever living a normal life. I have nothing to be proud of and everything to be ashamed of. I have a million hopes and dreams but in reality I'll never amount to anything more than a lonely loser wasting away in the basement until the inevitable happens.

I've been studying and trying to understand exactly where radical feminism fails where other movements succeed. Fucking Flat Earthers are more successful a movement than radical feminism. Most of the steps needed to build this movement into something better are easy - the ambiguities of how to do it are clarified by recent history and new research. Behaviorial psychology, social engineering, and memetics are all well established fields now.
I understand that learned helplessness is part of our socialization, but the extent of it still baffles me. Even in the more activist-oriented radfem communities, the attitude "oh it's just too hard now" is everywhere. I think it's shameful. I would NOT get to be single, childless, and living alone if it weren't for the hard work of the Suffragettes - I'd be playing mommy-maid-whore to a man with unwanted children hanging from my tits. I can't think of a worse way to shit on their legacy than to just sit on my hands and distract myself while everything they fought for falls apart.
We are a social species, I benefit from the work of other humans who came before me. I have a duty to make a positive contribution. And I'm so goddamn sick of seeing women and girls suffer needlessly while coomer culture grows. Right now, men are in their gross circles talking about how our lack of action against them is proof of our inferiority.

They are just trying to find things to laugh about tbh. Like, they basically give a playbook of how men like them create a system of incentives about how it doesn't really matter to them if a woman is hyper-competent…but they will make fun of women for being lazy anyway–even if they just ignored 10000s of hours of blood, sweat, and hard work from her or wouldn't actually care if she put in that effort.

Update for anyone who cares: I straight up told the guy as well as the wife that I don't want to see them at our exhibition. Told the wife I feel sorry for her clinging to such a shitty marriage and that I'm open to talking to her as soon as she stops slutshaming me and searching for my porn. She had none of it and tried insulting me over text, they came anyway and presented as a couple, bringing their neighbors and friends.
Before having a private meltdown later on, I greeted the guy with a long hug and kiss on the cheek. He was visibly uncomfortable the whole time, later on told me he would have preferred to spend the event alone with me. Whatever, it's too late now! Although it was great fun to sleep with him and he can be really nice if he wants to, it's time for a break. I'm keeping him around for some company, I'm teasing him, but I'm not sleeping with him for at least some time. I asked him if anything he told me was true and if he could be my dogsitter tomorrow and he started crying. I know he can't get it up without thinking of me anymore, his wife once complained to me about his "erectile dysfunction" when we were still on semi-good terms. I feel sorry for both of them, but I'm glad that I'm the one who can easiest cut themselves loose from this situation. I don't think it is over quite yet, but I feel a lot better and the helplessness has turnt into anger, then a pleasant silence. Thanks for letting me vent.

Honestly, I doubt she'd ever disown me and she does encourage my growth despite how it seems sometimes. We just disagree on topics that are pretty important in my life so, alongside general desire for freedom, I know it's time to move out. But it just feels like abandoning her, even if she has never intentionally made me feel like that. The root is likely because I got torn away from her too often as a child and I've kind of internalized it as "my fault."
You're probably right that there just will be a point where we're a bit more distant. She can't hold my hand forever, and I may be past the point where I want her to.

Like I remembered my first year in college, sitting in the shitty dorm room with my roommate (who used to be my bestfriend but whom i hated with a passion that year) and the new friends i made, discovering dad rock (fucking basic) and using it as the soundtrack for my maladaptive daydreaming.
I miss that bitch. She used to feel things much more intensely. She used to get panic attacks, and her inner monologue was an exercise in abuse and self torment. That was 6 years before all the Benzos and the SSRIs fried the neurons in her brain that made her feel things "wrong" and made it so she could feel nothing at all.
Don't get me wrong. I neither like nor dislike who i am now. But I do think it's better being numb than feeling everything all at once

On the 27th-29th of June I met with my LDR bf.
We fucked, 1st day with a condom but after I think I had a reaction to the latex we didn't use one but he pulled out.
Now I am actually wondering if I am pregnant even though the chances are low. My period was supposed to come today but it didn't, I have PMS symptoms but no period, but I am also lacking some key things like. Usually when my period is about to come I look really ugly and my eyes are puffy (its due to the drop of estrogen backed by science) and I look like I do when I am ovulating with mostly clear skin too.
Before my period, my thighs reek like sweat and smell like an armpit and it goes away when my period does. Don't have that.
Also I can usually tell where I am in my cycle by how my discharge smells (ik its gross) and it doesn't smell like pre period discharge to me.
The only things I have are sore boobs and gut issues and increases appetite, my appetite kind of extreme.
I'm so worried though neither of us are ready to be parents, neither of us are consistently employed and I struggle to do basic things these days and my depression has been really really bad, multiple times I wanted to kill myself today.
But then part of me also has really bad baby fever and I kind of want a baby and I'm excited thinking about it. My BF does too, but I try not to indulge in it because I know we can't handle a baby and if I get myself excited about babies when I probably am not pregnant I will just get sad when my period comes.
It will probably come tomorrow I'm just bored and wanted to share this.

If you choke yourself out of even forming any connection, it's only going to be inevitable that one bad experience being your only experience is going to hurt more. Just keep going, build your emotional castle. Stop living in a straw hut.
For actual activity, you could always make throwaways or just alternate pseudonyms so you can engage how you "want" and see how people react. You have the shield of pseudo anonymity that way which can be foregone if things are truly as bad as you feel they'll become to try again with. Engaging with people is as simple as putting in your experiences or feelings in on a subject when it's discussed and accepting your worldview to be challenged, or challenging others alongside just understanding eachother more, it's not a life or death battle, and people who treat it like one are worth filtering out of your life.

I fucking hate picky eaters. I get that there are people who have better reasons for it than others, but I find that for some people it just feels like their immaturity is showing. I am someone who personally really enjoys new experiences and trying new things out, so I value that quality in other people. I can tolerate it more with just friends, but when it comes to potential romantic partners, hell no.
I've been talking to this guy and idk I felt pretty early on we were never going to have anything serious but just wanted to enjoy getting to know him and maybe just being friends. Well, I have slowly learned that he is indeed a bit immature and also a goddamn picky eater. He's not fat (yet) but he definitely clearly prefers to eat a lot of fast food and processed junk and goddamn, it is such a turn off. If I had any of my own stupid fantasies about "ooo what if we became bf and gf" they are definitely gone now. There's other things that contributed to this feeling of being turned-off as well but I think learning that was the final nail in the coffin for me. I just….goddamn it, you're a 32 year old man and you can't eat chicken wings, you only want chicken breast. Wtf.
I think the picky eating shit just disturbs me so much in particular because I've been feeling like our society has become very "town full of babies". so meeting people who are particularly picky eaters just like, validates that thought for me. though I'm also just generally disgusted by people who prefer fast food over a nice home cooked meal. don't get me wrong, sometimes I love smashing a big mac myself, but my favorite fast food will never stand up to a high quality home cooked meal. he is from a poorer country and grew up as such, so I think in his mind outside food from a chain restaurant = higher quality and tastier than the slop he associates with home cooking.

First off, you are sleeping with a married man. Right off the bat that is scummy. But we are all human, and it could be somewhat excusable seeing you are very lonely and you portray him as exploiting that weakness. But you were actually trying to steal him. You said he had you believe he was going to divorce his wife and run away with you basically, so that was your intention even though he was a lying sack of cheating shit which should had been obvious by the fact he was cheating on his wife with you. You shouldn't be trying anything with anyones husband. But as you said, you don't believe in marriage, you don't believe anyone belongs to anyone. You have no respect for other peoples marriages, you don't believe in it. You apparently just think that commitment is nonsense and people should just get with who ever they want and have open relationships. That's disgusting. Only shallow relationships can exist within your moral framework
With this in mind how am I supposed to believe the narrative you have created that it was mostly all him that instigated this? I'm not so sure. All I know is the wife doesn't deserve this shit and she has every right to have distain for you. It's sad how desperate she is that she will ignore her husbands part

My period is making me pine after my ex again (momentarily). He looked really nice, clean shaven and all when he came to walk my friend home after the concert. He even shot me a message to check if I got home safe (as I'm typing this I can feel the disgust and hate billowing inside me) He gave me something he should never have given me. The belief that I could depend on someone and be cared for and looked after by someone who wasn't my kin. And then I just willingly gave that up when I broke up with him. Right feeling, wrong person, wrong wrong wrong timing.
I will go to my friends' flat this weekend and engage in the most vile acts of performative self sabotage imaginable (actually most of it is tame and basic): chain smoking, nibbling on a boxful of paracetamol, and huffing a garden's worth of weed.
It's funny. I used to cut myself when I was baked. This has always been hard for me to admit but I'm an attention whore. My sadomasochism is mostly born out of a thirst for outward attention. Maybe I should drop the learned helplessness and actually do something active to improve my situation.

In the past year or so I've been trying really hard to go through a bit of a glow up because I'm tired of men passing me over because of how I look. I'm still not where I want to be but I've gotten more comments about how I look in general lately. That said, I've realized it actually kinda pisses me off when men compliment my appearance. Some of you might be like "boo-hoo" and that's fair. But I'm serious.
I understand physical attraction does play a big role but I feel like the majority of men these days put way too much importance onto it, and so many of them only care about how attractive you are and don't give a shit about anything else about you. That is what enrages me. I'm a human being with all sorts of interests, knowledge, skills, etc. I like to think I'm kind and respectful. None of that really matters. When a man compliments me about my appearance it pisses me off, low key enrages me depending on the scenario. Probably because I think I am being pigeonholed and now the only thing he sees about me is my appearance and doesn't care much about any of the other stuff about me.

Even fat men (and I’m talking men wayyyy fatter than me, at my heaviest I was like 180 and I was open to dating guys up to 300lbs) rejected me. After I lost weight men started being way nicer and simpier to me and it made me disgusted how these same men would treat me like shit if I was still overweight. It definitely makes you resentful.

i can't tell if my dad intentionally makes the shittiest food imaginable when he has to make dinner so that my mom and i won't ask him to make dinner very often, or if it genuinely never occurred to him to use any of the time in his 50+ years on this planet to learn a few basic dishes. we don't ask him to cook very often. we have a big kitchen with a lot of tools and ingredients. some mornings my mom wakes us up with breakfast and i return the favor on mornings when i wake up before my parents, making them a nice home-cooked breakfast. but my dad has never cooked unless we explicitly strong-armed him into it in all of my 20+ years of living with him. like, i wouldn't even care if somebody who lived alone wanted to live off prepackaged food like my dad does and never prepare a meal (or even a snack) for themselves because that's none of my business. but he lives with his family and some nights neither my mom nor i can cook. and when he does cook he acts super weird about it and the vibe at the dinner table is tense. i hate it. my mom has a job and i'm a student so it's not like cooking is how we earn our keep in the house, either.

I truly hate my customer service job. Went from a team of 5 to 2. I have an interview next week, hopefully they hire me and they become a 1 person "team". It's so irresponsible of them to let this happen. Now since we get less calls after the summer months, they will only hire 1 extra person. Then spring hits again and they have to rush to hire people, and have a bunch of newbies on the line.
Truly hope I get that job so they can go fuck themselves.

I was borderline revolted by my ex for the last 2 weeks. We agreed to stay friends but that only made him enter simp mode with the force of a thousand suns. I visited yesterday to chill (friends were there and I was depressed) and I had a relatively good time (he was no longer simping after I encouraged him to live his life independent of me).
I was reassured that revulsion meant I had moved on, so now that that revulsion is less, I'm scared that I'll fall back into pining. Considering that my affection towards him is inversely proportional to my affection towards myself, this means that I don't like myself much (these days).

Ever since I was a kid I have constantly had this sense of impending doom, as if something really really bad is gonna happen soon but you cannot just put your finger on it. It's almost always there and it only really goes away when I am working or hanging out with people…sometimes, not always. Idk what to do about it, it is driving me crazy.
Like for example I will be outside and I will be getting crazy nervous because I have some petty and unimportant
chores to do, I borderline run back home, do those chores, and then immediately start feeling crazy cause I am rotting in my apartment instead of going outside, rinse and repeat
>>81908I completely understand how you feel nona, I was always kind of an ugly kid and then I got really attractive out of nowhere very quickly in my late teens (puberty was long over by then so idk what happened) and I find it almost off-putting how people treat me better now.

Anonymous 82014
>>81950Serious question? I get that everyone here thinks I'm a terrible person and explaining why will probably make it worse but whatever. This is my final word. I did try my best at applying my morals.
Big part of those is: People are not property, people are allowed to make decisions that I don't agree with, honesty is very important, communicate as kindly as you can and do it often, expect the same of other people, what truly loves you will cmoe back even if you let go.
Me and the guy had quite a few discussions about the immorality of it all. When he confessed his crush, I asked him wether we could still be friends and he assured me yes it wouldn't change our relationship.
I admitted my crush only after he asked me explicitely and would have waited for it to pass/suppressed it if he hadn't initiated physical contact right after that. But it seemed ok at the time, we were always talking and reflecting. Yes, it was stupid to believe he had suddendly opened his marriage. To my defense: Those arrangements are very common in my social circle. But because of this mistrust I wrote a short letter offering a talk and my phonenumber to the wife.
I gave the letter to that guy and told him what was in it. He wouldn't have needed to pass it on to his wife, but he did. -> false Trust restored. After waiting for months she and I met for coffee. We talked respectfully and spent the whole afternoon together. Turns out she didn't want an open relationship and her partner had tried and failed to persuade her. The meeting turned sour when she asked me wether I felt guilty and I said no. When asked for reasons, I told her as calmly as possible, that I had learned her man had cheated on her with many more people since the very start of their relationship, and so it would have been me or anyone else. I really thought there wasn't much left to ruin by saying this and that she deserved to know.
She told me they would divorce, but she was angry at me for telling her these things. So when I asked her for another meeting a few months later, she ditched me. She asked her husband to keep me away from her, but still got along well with him. I believed they were in the process of amicable divorce. I helped my friend find a new job. He moved to someone elses place (but got kicked out within a week and moved back to the wife). I helped him find a therapist (first appointment is next week). I believed him when he said he didn't want to move to my place cause he didn't want to jump from one relationship to the other. But I also believed him when he said it's "convenient" at home with his wife.
In hindsight, I should have known he was unreliable and quite lazy right then, but oh well. Also did I mention that the wife is 40 and I was barely 21 at the time? We both earn our own money while her 31 year old spouse doesn't even own a bank account. She helps him with everything from rent, to laundry to proofreading his homework for university. Anyhow, she wants to stay married after all, despite all these things.
It is now clear to me that this man has many problems including a massive learned helplessness and this wife does not want to let go. It has taken a long time to truly accept this and I have attached myself to this person. He continually led me on and made me believe they were in the process of divorce. I would need to talk to the wife to learn if any of it was true. But I believe that is an issue bewtween them. Him and I support eachother in our own way and our relationship is more than just exchanging sex even if it's had many hurtful moments. I don't even want to be in a legit relationship with him until he manages his stuff. I don't want to steal him either. I used to wish for him to stay married and have both of us some way. But the marriage sounds so imbalanced, now I truly feel like it would help him and also her to grow as a person to end it. No stranger has the power to get inbetween a well functioning marriage, and even if it were possible, divorce is not always a bad thing.
That is our situation. I've talked to several counselors about it and while one tried to help by assigning guilt, the majority was baffled why I'd even try to apply morals to dysfunczional people in the first place. They assured me it wasn't evil of me and that I was fine to explore this relationship if I wanted to.

Sorry, this is long. I thought I was over my cptsd from my parents a couple of years ago but after getting an autism diagnosis, my brain began going back over times I was bullied, first at school, now with my parents.
It sucks knowing how much work I will have to put in again, only this time with the knowledge that it probably won't be permanently fixed. Even with memories related to my parents, that I thought were resolved, I'm gaining new insights, which while helpful for understanding and accepting, is very emotionally draining and keeps me up at night. Why can't my brain just forget about everything and move on already.
Today's insight was that my parents have very stark double standards towards me. I remember mentioning once to my dad about how my mother had made me believe that I was going to be cut off at uni. Very traumatic and I was in floods of tears and begging for forgiveness for the minor infraction I committed, which my dad witnessed. This was the only time I ever brought it up. My dad said he didn't remember and that I should just get over it. No sympathy, not even that he cared enough to have remembered it. I realized today how starkly this contrasted with my mother repeatedly bringing up things from her childhood, most of which were a lot more minor. One is even that she once found a single science class (1 hour) a waste of time. My dad never once told my mother she should get over it and always had sympathy for her own troubled upbringing (but not for how she replicated it with me).
One of the last times I saw my mother, I got upset and told her that she was never a mother to me, which I meant emotionally. I also said I didn't want to speak to her again. I remember her staring at the tv as if I was invisible and then sneeringly repeating what I had said after I left the room but was still in earshot (something she regularly did to me). When I had to go back home and sort some things about a year later, she flat out ignored me as if I didn't exist. My dad of course acted like I was the one at fault, despite her refusing to walk into the next room to see me after I had taken 4 plane rides to get there. Clearly she had been stewing on what I said all that time, yet whenever she had told me that she wished she had never had me or looked after me when I was young, I had to ignore it and pretend nothing had happened. Similarly, when I did something against her wishes (taking a job she didn't approve of after her complaining I wasn't finding a job fast enough), she gave me the silent treatment for months, yet if I had not answered a single question of hers ever she would have screamed and screamed at me.
I also recently realized my parents are the reason I ended up with so much additional trauma from abusive partners, which previously I had thought to be mostly separate and just down to a lack of general dating knowledge. Not even partners mostly, but men that I allowed to treat me like trash as I was so devoid of attention. Several guys who I never formally dated but would sleep with me (with varying levels of consent), not only took advantage of me, but I realize now were constantly insulting me over every minor thing, laughing at me, and telling me I was stupid (I actually have a high IQ). One was really old, several ugly (while I was reasonably pretty). Somehow these things never registered with me as something I should get away from and instead I was constantly clawing for their attention. I see now that my parents trained me to believe no one could ever want me and any insults and discomfort just had be ignored and the other person always prioritized and worshiped. My so called friends also all treated me poorly, took advantage of me, and then ditched me without a thought when I was no longer useful. My self worth was non-existent and it's entirely due to my parents.
All of this has made me realize now that I really do not want to see my parents ever again, not even to attend their funerals. Before I was sad for my childhood but now I feel intense anger at them. It's not that they could hopefully get over their own issues and see my side one day and apologize, now I see that they do not view me as an equal and have ingrained this view into me all throughout my childhood. Even now despite becoming aware of this, I still feel that there are certain normal things in life that are for everyone else but not for me, as if I don't deserve it or I'm not worth as much as other people. It's such a deep set belief I barely even think about it consciously and is more like an instinctual way to live.

I think these two issues are the root of my cptsd and while I worked on specific memories before, I didn’t go deep enough.
I also saw a post on r/cptsdnextsteps that said ND parents will sometimes project their own bad feelings from their childhood (or whatever) onto someone else and not realise it’s actually coming from inside. I definitely think this is the case for me as the way my mother treated me vs how I behaved were ridiculously disproportional. Because of this I’m never going to have perfect answers explaining everything as I don’t know everything that goes on in my parents’ heads. I can only work on how it affected me.

What I'm about to type is irrational and an intrusive thought, but I'm afraid i can't entirely dismiss it.
I'm 24. I'm not special. I squandered my potential and now I'm behind my peers in academia, carreer and even personal life.
I don't know what i need to do to catch up. I'll probably never catch up (or surpass). That thought alone makes me want to jump in front of a train. The only thing that stops me is my inherent lack of intiative/drive and the fear that I might end up crippled.
I used to be a raging feminist in my teens. Because the only worth I can begrudgingly admit to having is directly linked to intelligence (and academic achievement), i feel like the lowliest non-entity to exist now that my college years were wasted and ive learned nothing. 2 years of prepa. 4 years worth of advanced maths and physics squeezed in the stretch of 16 months. I've learned nothing. 3 years of engineering school. I learned nothing. 3 (mediocre) internships. I've learned nothing.
It's over. I have nothing to offer the world. I have nothing special. I'm just a woman, and a severely lacking one at that. I can already tell that the way people are looking at me is changing. Soon the expectations my parents/society have of me won't be centered around which degree I manage to enroll into, but it'll be around which guy I'll marry to fulfill the eternal domestic nightmare.
Why can't it be both? Why can't I have both? Emotional maturity and Academic/Professional success? Well, one of you tell me. Because right now I have neither.

Had a memory resurface the other day of the small routine I created in my teens to make myself stop crying. It was something like taking deep breaths and then reading random pages of a self help positivity book I had in my room.
Only after reexaminating the memory now did I realize how messed up it is that I had felt the need to come up with a routine. I knew more crying episodes were guaranteed to come soon. Not only that but one that made it seem like my own thinking was the issue. And crying it out was not an option.
There's also the questions of why was my mother making me cry that often? Why were my other family members never there to comfort me when crying? And why didn't I think that I should report this at school or elsewhere (not that I had any teachers who cared about me much). Even now I've never even told anyone she would do this to me.
I can remember using the book like that maybe 3 times in several months. There were also many more times I forgot about the routine and others where I wasn't crying in my room, or held the tears back. At a minimum I can then calculate that my mother (or something connected to her treatment of me) must have made me cry about 10 times in 6 months, though that seems like a huge underestimate.
On top of that, I'm not even someone that cries easily and I was clearly used to this treatment so she would have had to do something more than the "normal" abuse to get such a reaction out of me. Normal abuse included telling me she wished she'd never had me or looked after me or criticizing every little thing I did.
How the heck do the rest of my family continue to think that I'm the problem one after witnessing all of this?

>>82351I feel compelled to respond because I'm the same age as you and I feel similar- useless and completely lost. Saying that I'm 24, I feel like I really am an adult now and yet I don't have much of anything to show for it. Maybe since we're in a similar boat, my words won't mean much but even if you had absolutely nothing to contribute to the world (which may not even be true) I don't think that makes you unworthy of living. We don't even choose to be born and yet there are so many social, familial, and personal obligations that we feel compelled to fill before feeling like we have any right to feel worthy of this world. It's easier to tell a stranger this than to tell myself, but if you're trying your best every day to take care of yourself and be of assistance to others (when you can) then I think that's more than enough. We don't need to be special or to be good at anything in order to deserve happiness or to be happy with ourselves. I think a lot of people feel that way (including myself), but I think it's sad that we feel so much burden and obligation simply for existing. I'm not saying you should stop trying to get what you want, but just that being worthy of happiness and life isn't conditional based upon how 'successful' you are. Well, from one lost 24-year-old to another, , let's try to be a little kinder to ourselves if we can.

Man, I feel so dumb. I made an order when I was feeling like a zombie and the next day I woke up and found it and regretted it. I attempted to cancel it, but it turned out the website - a new one - had 0 cancellation policy and will charge a 25% restocking fee for any returns.
The only upside is that maybe I can resell some of the items (3 of them I got for 5$ - an unlisted price - and the going price is 40$) but even then it feels extremely dumb and…unethical. A part of me assumes it won't work out.

I've been complaining about being a loser and spamming things no one cares about here since 2017. It's changed a lot since then and I think it's time for me to move on too. Sorry for acting like a schizo. Goodbye everyone. I will miss some of you.

I'm going to miss him. His simp spree and love bombing were so annoying in the moment, but I'm going to miss the certainty and comfort of knowing that someone else thought about you and that you were (for a time) the center of their universe.

You have to inherently be "judgemental" and "mean" to filter out these people from your life, but she presents herself as above it when she's exactly that when anonymous.

Being judgemental isn't bad it's normal, I mean overly judgemental. I think it's normal to be an adult and not want to be around a 15 year old. It should be normal to think they/thems are mentally ill and more likely than not NLOGs.
By overly judgemental I mean petty things like judging someone over the clothes they wear, their harmless interests, the way they look naturally etc.
So I don't see how my post was hypocritical.

Man, corporate environments are even more soulless than I thought. I try to build connection with my coworkers but when I talk, they say almost nothing back. Also had to only tail behind two of them as they were talking with eachother. It makes me feel pretty alienated and lonely. I'm only an intern, so that likely has something to do with but it still hurts getting excluded in conversations and groups all the time. They work in pairs, but no one is even assigning me a pair anymore. I haven't been in one for the past few weeks. I'm constantly schizo-worrying it's from something I said, because talking properly in a corporate environment still feels like a hell. I know in the corporate world people take offense to what you say or don't say much more easily.
To the other anon who advised me before, sorry but it seems I am still too autistic to figure out how to function in a corporate setting. Figuring this out is like trying to figure out rocket science. I try not to talk too much, but then I end up not talking enough and being alienated that way. I try asking questions, but any explanations I get still sound like Klingon. I try figuring things out for myself, but I can't because I'm forced to participate in a meeting with them that doensn't even leave me an opportunity to take initiative self-learning. I hate this and I hate it here.

But! Talking aloud sometimes help me to think of something while I am talking, but that only works of I had someone to listen to me
Is this a similar case for you? Maybe makes your thoughts being structured, when you are speaking, and they are in line and not in a one mass in your head?

Oh God. It's been 6 years already? 6 years ago I was 17 verging on 18, and i was so fucking tired. I cried every day that summer. I think I cried on my birthday. It's ironic that the height of my "depression" happened at the cusp of my greatest achievement. In hindsight; that episode was self inflicted. I was fucking 18, I should have been hopeful about the future. I should have been happy in my body. I should've been enjoying the sun and basking in the innocence of my youth. Now the innocence is gone, and so is hope. I fucking loathe learned helplessness. Why, why does it feel like my life has never been in my own fucking control. When the fuck will i rise to the occasion and do my fucking job instead of procrastinating it away.

Anonymous 82504
>>82503>I hate sounding like a bratty daughterIt's really a tragedy that society still acts like criticizing your parents is always wrong and "immature". Most of our issues come from our parents and other people we maintain normal, non-violent relationships with. Yet most people act like there are no valid complaints to be had about these things and a person is only given any credit for getting fucked in the head if they were involved in some big, sexy incident of violence (they make for good stories).
Anonymous 82508
>>82504pretty much. I think deep down inside I'm not actually just a bratty daughter but of course I always feel that way…I always thought I was alone and tried not to complain about her too much for that reason until I met a co-worker whose mother is just like mine. actually I figured out from her that my mother likely has some sort of personality disorder but I digress. I agree, it sucks, and what is annoying is that people always try to find excuses for the persons behavior ("well, she just loves you so that's why she's so X"). so even if they don't explicitly tell you you're being a little shit or whatever, they try to make you feel like a jerk for complaining at all.

Anonymous 82510
>>82508I think it's a mix of both, nona. You can recognize that someone's traits or behaviors are toxic and protect yourself from them, if necessary by cutting contact with that person, but at the same time emphasize with whatever hardships they went through and that led them to be this way. It's a difficult balance of course, but I think managing to attain self-protection without being filled with resentment is what gives us the best chance at finding peace.

>>82519Thing is that I don't have a fixed routine, I just collected a series of exercises that are known to increase muscle mass in the glutes. Also once you have performed the same routine for a month or more, I recommend to change the exercises or increase weight. I never count reps or sets because I don't like to think in numbers while focusing on the muscle contraction and I'm too lazy to set a timer, I just do it until I feel the burn. I know it sounds messy but everyone has a different style of working out.
>hip thrusts>step up >bulgarian squat>deadlift / one leg deadlift>crab walk squat>side lunges>donkey kicksTry to achieve the best form you can to perform these otherwise you will fuck up your back or end up working other muscle sets.

Any advice for a total pushover?
I’ve gotten into the habit of changing myself to make others happy, and it has effected my relationships so deeply that I desperately need a way out. It’s like my mind fails to consider my own wants and needs when interacting with others, forcing me to basically lie about my intentions and desires. I don’t like lying, but I can’t help it. All I can think about is what the other person would want, and I don’t even reflect on my own thoughts before answering.
What can I do to fix this? What’re some ways to set up better boundaries? I’m struggling to find myself.

>>82473Did you mean my post
>>2459? You quoted OP so I wasn't sure.
I just say polite things like "Hello/Goodbye", and make small talk occasionally. But whenever I make the small talk, I feel like my autistic brain ends up unconsciously trying to turn it into a "big talk" because I can't stfu. Like yesterday, two of my colleagues started talking about different programming languages and classes in college - specifically Math. One of my colleagues was going on math classes are completely useless for a SWE career. I chimed in that I don't think they are completely - There are indirect benefits, like helping you think more logically. At one point as I kept talking, he even said "Sorry, what was that? I wasn't paying attention". I'm such a bore/annoying and somehow more meek/soft-spoken than ever, it feels like. I still can't for the life of me carry a conversation because of it.
>>82533 Speaking about being a pushover, I feel this too. For some reason the tone of my voice feels more timid than ever before. But I wouldn't know why, because I have held several jobs over the past few years where I needed to take on leadership roles and/or do alot of public speaking which have taught me to speak up for myself more. However, I still sound like an extreme pushover. Either that, or it feels like my tone is taking on some unconscious manipulative intent (I got laughed at at school one time that I try to sound like a "Shy Japanese Schoolgirl"..Whatever that means.) I don't want to sound like some kind of tradwife pickme or anime character. No, scared 12-year old boy would probably be more accurate.

do people enjoy being mentally ill?
sometimes i sense someone exacerbates their mental health issues on purpose for the sake of increasing their SMV. i.e. sad boys on tiktok with patrick bateman pfps, muh BPD gf and crazy girl sex, men using their alcoholic tendencies to give their character more depth than there actually is. it's that fetishization of mental illness or whatever.
i've struggled with depression and social anxiety pretty much my entire life, and sometimes i wonder if i would've been happier by now if being miserable hasn't become so comfortable for me + wasn't the commonality between me and all the people i gravitate to and end up in social circles with. it's basically become my identity at this point and i'm not even sure if i can picture a life in which i'm happy and mentally stable, even though i think when i was younger i wanted to be.

Circle-of-Friends-…
Just had a random memory resurface of having to do picrel in class as a teenager. For some reason we spent an entire hour on it, despite it being more appropriate to under 10s.
Anyway, I didn't have anyone to put in any of the circles. I put my close family down out of obligation, though they've always been horrible to me. Then 2-3 girls in my class who were nice to me only when they wanted something as they were the only people I spoke to.
I don't know the rest of my family at all, not even by name. We had no family friends or anything like that. I wasn't in any social clubs or had other friends.
I just remember sitting there the entire hour trying to hide my paper and not to cry because I had no one in my life. I don't think I had ever really realized it before.
We did another exercise another time where you had to list things parents are supposed to do for you and I could not think of anything beyond "feed you, care for you". Even the girl sitting next to me commented on the fact that I hadn't mentioned "love you" that time.
Again, I just felt a sinking dark feeling of sadness the whole hour.
I've realized recently that I feel a lot of my childhood trauma in shame and low self worth. Having to sit there for an hour each time surrounded by my peers and face a diagram "admitting" this was pure torture and feels traumatic in itself.
I was sat right by the teacher and somehow they never noticed this either time. Nor did they say anything in case there was someone like me in the class, which surely anyone with half a brain must be aware is possible.

Even then, if I get rid of the feelings, I still have to deal with the mess they've made of my life. It feels like an mountainous task and yet when I finally complete it, I will have nothing real to show for it, just a vague sense of normality. Imagining what else I could achieve with all those hours and brain power instead makes my stomach sink.

I saw a language related masters course years ago that would be a dream to do. My grades from years ago were terrible due to trauma and hating my subject but over the past few years I was motivated to take extra classes and self study a similar difficult language so that I could exceed the requirements.
Right now I'm on track to get the required grades, gain advanced qualifications and translating experience in the similar language, and gain qualifications at intermediate or advanced in two more unrelated languages. The course especially appealed to me as it's at an elite college and I've always had a huge chip on my shoulder that despite having a (tested) high IQ, I've never achieved anything.
However I made the mistake today to look up people who are currently doing the course on linkedin to see how I compared. I had done this before and it helped me to see what was expected. This time the results all had advanced levels of multiple difficult languages, multiple prizes, degrees from other elite colleges, only perfect grades, and were several years younger than me. It feels like I'll never be enough.
What's worse is that, either they changed the requirements or I somehow missed it before, as the ability to work in a group is now a requirement. I'm autistic and I will just never be able to do that. The college is known for small group teaching so I thought that it would finally be an environment where I could thrive as only distant or self education works for me.
Why do I set my goals so high that they are never achievable. Why do I feel the need to "prove" how smart I am when no one cares. I know I should be proud of the progress I've made (even having a basic conversation in another language is impressive where I'm from) but somehow once I reach something it becomes unimportant in my mind.
It's like there is a glowing sphere labelled "self worth" just outside of arms length. I can't see what it is but I know what I have isn't enough. Every now and again I'll gain something and go up to the glowing sphere and compare what I have to see if I've finally obtained value but what I have in my hands is never enough. The sphere always changes and instantly anything I have gained becomes worthless.
