deeply depressed and unsatisfied with my life. being autistic has ruined everything for me. i have a job, but i hate it. currently lovesick but do not want to explain because the reason why is pathetic. spending hours looking for a synthesizer right now, to fill the void.

>>92974I'm exactly the same. I don't know why I get so jealous, I completely trust my partner but the thought of them hanging out with other people really drives me up the wall.
I assume there's some deep seated insecurity rooted deep within my psyche but I don't even know how to begin addressing it.

I made a friend online and i’m so worried about the dreaded voice call. I have adhd and a history of acting unhinged and hyper on voice calls so i have an aversion to them. I take meds since then and i’m much calmer (and older) but the damage and the anxiety is still there fucking kek. We click so well on text, but im so scared that i might come across as unlikeable on voice. She lives near me and it would be a shame if she ghosted me after many failed friendships.

How do people move on so fast after breakups? I feel like the average person just needs a couple weeks or months and they're ready to date again. In my case, I need years to even consider dating again, but most friends, relatives and even my ex look like they move way too fast from their failed relationships. This applies to both men and women.
I feel like the only ones who take so much time to heal from breakups are us, the one who post on sites like this, dreaming about a loving and caring relationship, while the average person just wants someone to be for a while until they get tired.
It makes me sad, because I'm someone who doesn't get into relationship until I feel truly invested in someone, but most people don't seem to be that way.

I was engaged and then I started vtubing and my fiance hated it so he never watched and I could never talk about it with him even though I was having the most fun of my life and doing well and making new friends after years of solitude.
One of my friends that I met became my emotional support structure and gradually I drifted away from my fiance emotionally.
My fiance started becoming super controlling and would make me feel like shit all the time and fight with me about me wanting to hang out with my friends or stream and it's just gotten to the point where I don't even know what I saw on this man before.
He has a stable job but so do I, it's not like he's particularly attractive, and if he's not at the very least nice and supportive then what the fuck is the point even?
I was going to marry this man now I don't even recognize who the fuck he is. How hard is it to just… Be supportive??

I dropped out of college and will have to wait until September to start school again. I feel like such a disappointment, like I'll never be happy because it's never enough for me. I used to work in a store with these two older women and they were just content with their jobs and lives, always being friendly and all of it. I wish I could be like that and I could be happy working relatively easy jobs but I can't, I did it for a while but the lack of goals just made me depressed. I wish I could make short movies and draw and just somehow generate income by that but you can't count on luck.

I've been very depressed recently for a reason that will change but not for 8+ months (long personal story)
Meanwhile my best friend has been travelling for months.
She got back a week ago or so, said she missed me a lot, wants to catch up and told me to tell her everything fun that's happened to me while she's been gone… which is nothing lol.
I've been doing nothing depressed in my room for months and will probably continue to do that because of my situation.
I haven't responded to her because I'm embarrassed that I have nothing cool or interesting to say to her. I feel like such a loser and I'm worried that because of that she'll look down on me or I'll become a burden on her and drag her down etc even though it's not my fault because there's nothing I can do about this situation for a while.
I'm a weird person so the more I like someone the more I'm afraid to open up to them. I like her so much that I'm very concerned of what she thinks always.
I love listening to her and talking about things together but the second she asks about my life or myself I feel very embarrassed because atm I'm very ashamed of my life and have nothing but complaints to say. I don't like complaining and I don't want to be seen as a miserable person to her, even though I objectively am.
But of course it's normal in a friendship for the other person to ask about you and your life. I don't know how to say that I don't want to talk about my life at all without coming across as weird and suspicious and secretive.

The girlies didn't lie when they said no-contact was the only acceptable form of breakup. You CANNOT and will not be a good objective friend to your ex. For me the dynamic turned into repulsion instead of mutual attraction. Whenever he shows signs of pining I get the immediate ick. Whenever he pulls away I feel myself slipping and starting to pine. Thank fuck my narcissim is preventing me from making a fool of myself and actually letting him know that I pine.

One of my friends is going through a really hard situation and every time she starts breaking down when we are doing voice chats it both breaks my heart and leaves me frustrated. When she is in that state she becomes overly sensitive and sometimes aggressive, and i know it's not her fault because it is something she also can't do much about, but it has also been stressing me out because i can't do anything to help her except listen to her sobbing and ranting on voice chat, and i fear any suggestion i might make may just make her feel worse. I hope that having someone there listening helps at least a little, but i really just wish i could make the situation itself stop. Sometimes when i'm too exhausted i just don't have the energy to take it and don't go on voice chat at all and it just makes me feel worse that i can't even be there for her.

>>93043Don't get caught up on initial academic failures. Think of this as an opportunity to come back stronger than most college students, even. That's what happened to me. When I first enrolled, I almost got kicked out because of repeatedly fucking up several classes. That forced me to take a year off wagie cagie'ing while going to a CC. The job was fucking horrible but that, combined with paying for my own classes, made me get my shit together and re-evaluate my choices. Personally it made me realize I definitely do not want to be working for $7.50 an hour around a drugged-up, uneducated asshole manager and co-workers for the rest of my life. There are those who manage to find job satisfaction without college, but it is rare so I wouldn't risk it. Unless you're particularly skilled, that scenario mentioned is more likely.

I think its wierd how there's a million people talking about how "you dont need a romantic partner if you have good friends," but no one talks about what its like to be in a happy relationship and still be lonely. My main IRL friend hardly talks to me even though I message her frequently, and never seems to have time to hang out in person. I hardly am able to maintain relationships with my few online friends cause I'm just terrible at keeping up conversations when we're in seperate time zones. I love my boyfriend but we aren't able to live together yet since we're saving money and paying off debts and even though we talk every day we only meet in person maybe once a week tops since we live a town away and both work full time. Even if I can manag to build strong friendships again its not like I can have late night discord calls or hang out with someone every day again.

I live with my parents. I'm planning to leave in a few months. Unfortunately because my parents are aging it gets harder to live here every day. I love my dad but he is becoming an awful old man who rants and yells at my mom about his opinions on whatever current event(both my parents are vocal leftists). He is angry every day. I'm not scared of him, he's not a violent person, but I'm beginning to hate him. For the first time in my life I'm having vague fantasies of violence against him from being exposed to his behavior every single day. If I asked anyone in my family they would probably say I'm the bad one for not being happier around my family, but my family is very codependent, something I didn't realize until I was in my 20s. I'm the black sheep because I like my space and I want to be alone, unfortunately I get guilt tripped and treated like a freak for my perfectly normal adult behavior.

My little cousin I actually like is "banned" from Christmas by my dumbass aunt and it's for a new level of idiotic even for her.
She's 10 years old and she just got suspended from school for throwing a pair of scissors at a ghetto trash "teacher" who couldn't keep the hot cheeto talk out of a professional setting.
She said A TEN YEAR OLD had a "ratchet ass" haircut just for being talked back to.
As if talking to children like that is supposed to be normal, she's putting all the blame on her own daughter.
I was asking my cousin what she wanted for Christmas when my aunt told me this and when I spoke the truth which was "I'd do the same thing" she exploded at me about how "I'm taking her right to parent her own kid by saying that".
Because if there's ANYTHING girls need to be punished for, it's taking crap from unqualified authority figures.

I am addicted to social media and it's ruining me. I know why I'm doing what I'm doing. I want to have a solid friend group and social contacts to feel less alone but the more time I spend on social media the worse my chances of actually doing that become. Also there's nothing I can talk about with others because no one wants to hear about someone's addiction. It's a spiral and I want out. Someone let my out. The closest relationships I have at the moment are para social ones to random YouTubers. I want it to end I want friends. Everytime I think about my loneliness I starr crying and going back to social media because it will ease the pain. It got so much worse after my ex broke up with me. Instead of reaching out I just went inward and went into complete hermit mode. I don't do shot for my studies, talking with others feels like a chore. This addiction is shit and only getting worse.

Honestly, start slowly by doing other stuff than looking into social media. unfollow accounts that hurt you, change your whole account and finally delete it, or at least minimize use. Instead read books, its less harmful. Or write stories yourself. You might publish them and find other people with similar Interests, maybe that works?

I have such a hard time trusting my boyfriend for some reason. Mostly insecurities. He could literally get down on his knees, profess his undying love for me and I would still have a hard time believing him. No matter what, I'm always gonna feel like I'm way more into him than he is into me. It's not like I want constant reassurance, but I'm always feeling anxious I'm being too much of a burden.
He's dated other girls, nothing serious with anyone though he told me. Most of his relationships have been a few months long. He's told me I'm one of the very few women he's had this much chemistry with. He's my 1st everything and the person I've ever felt the most comfortable with, from the very beginning I never felt anxious around him, quite the opposite. I just feel at peace when I'm with him. The problem comes when I'm alone and all the doubts and questions start creeping in again. I always tell myself that the next time we hang out I'll ask him what he truly thinks of me and our relationship, but when the moment comes I never do it because he makes me feel me so much better and I just end up thinking I'm being ridiculous.
I also don't want to have this type of conversation over the phone, I want to do it in person. Hopefully this Sunday we see each other and I muster up the courage to ask him, highly doubt it though kek

>>93203Advice from a fellow addict.
Take a radical step and try a dopamine detox. Aka cut the app you use most for a couple of days. For me it was tiktok and it was truly
physically painful for a few days because I wrecked my habit of staying gled on it 16 hours of the day. I could say go full cold Turkey mode and get a flip phone or something but I realize this solution is becoming more and more inconvenient from a social standing. Ideally, you should be able to regulate your own screen usage. If you're using it to cope with and avoid your problems (like I used to and still to a degree do) look up exposure therapy. This is of course provided whatever you're avoiding can be dealt with on your own. If not, do reach out to a therapist, or at least try to partially detox. Make sure to fill the void with something less toxic and time consuming. This is all very cringe and predictable advice I know, but believe me when I tell you things won't get better until you decide (and stay firm on your decision) to get better.

I had to reject some kid who was 16 and i feel bad because he looked like he was about to cry but he spent a long time trying to ask me out or to go hangout with him
at the end of my shift while i drove him home he basically tried to ask me out again and i just told “look man your a good guy but your too young you should go after girls your age” and he looked like he was about to cry when i said that i dont know why i feel bad

I have an online friend that I met off of Discord around a year ago. At first, it was fun talking to them because we had a similar fandom in common, but slowly over time they've begun to skinwalk me. They've copied so many things from the way I dress, my opinions (for example, if I said I liked something they didn't like, they would start to like it), my other hobbies and interests, even down to the way I type. It's so frustrating because I want to cease communication with them, but they always go on about how I'm their only friend and that messaging me is their favorite part of their day. On top of that, I've asked my actual irl friends and my boyfriend what they think about their messages to me just to make sure this isn't all in my head, and they all agreed with me and said that I shouldn't break things off abruptly because this person seems a bit unhinged.

I'm preparing myself to be single for the rest of my life. I will turn 27 in 2023 and never managed to have a relationship that lasted longer than 6 months. I do not know any women my age in a similar situation, except :
-a woman that is literally physically deformed due to a disability, and is mentally unstable because of this horrid disability and abuse.
-a woman with autism and other disabilties that make her life very hard.
-another woman with autism that lives on benefits.
I will never have a family. I will have to work hard enough to buy a house alone, and achieve things that make me proud enough in order to make up for the pain of not being able to have a family. I will know no rest, and have to constantly better myself, until the day I die.

She's so cute and cool, I want to be able to know so much more about her. What is her daily life like? What are her secrets? What hopes does she have for her future? What is she afraid of? What always makes her laugh? How does she deal with being sad? Who were the important people in her life? What is her family history? What are the names of all her cats?
If only I had the confidence to message her and the skills to maintain the conversation. Is she waiting for me to do that? I can't tell.

Ex and I broke up 3 months ago and I am still torn up. Like I feel like I’ve gone back to being clinically depressed. I know time heals all wounds but the longer I’m away from him the worse I feel.

I’m so envious of my friends who get along with and enjoy visiting with their mothers. My mother loves being miserable and I can’t tell her about anything fun I’ve done without her saying shit like “Oh….that must be nice. I wish I could do something fun like that. Instead I was at home alone having a terrible time.” and then she goes on for 45 minutes straight about whatever new horrible ailment she has, her new frenemies who are out to get her, etc etc.
Last year my mom was almost in tears because “none of the decorations are done!” when my boyfriend and I came to visit. The house looked fine and everything was great, so I had no idea what she was talking about. I tried to make her feel better and said “and besides, we don’t care about the decorations! We’re just happy to see you.”
And she physically recoiled from me and said “That’s right, you don’t care. You don’t care about anything. You don’t care about the decorations? FINE, I’ll just tear them down and throw them all away!!!” I turned to my dad and said “What is this about?” and he goes “oh HUSH and STOP IT, [my name]. You always make things worse!”
My mother is an angry, bitter, miserable witch and my dad is a sniveling, wimpy, enabling asshole.
I think I hate my parents

I've been single my whole life, so I've gotten really comfortable with it. But even though I'm okay with being single probably forever, I still feel lonely. It's frustrating! I have dreams sometimes where I'm in love with someone and they love me back and it makes me feel so awesome but disappointed when I wake up. It makes me a little sad thinking I might never be able to experience that. It's not even that I've never been on a date, but somehow things don't ever work out and I've never had a boyfriend. I think there might be something in me that prevents me from getting really close to men or something. My loneliness has been manifesting in weird ways. I started thinking one of my clients was cute and he's like five years younger than me. I wouldn't ever do anything, but I hate how my brain fixates on the smallest things now because I have nothing remotely close to romance in my life. Seeing people in relationships who genuinely care about each other… I think it would feel nice to have someone care about me like that too. I won't die if I don't have a boyfriend, but I wish I could experience it once just so I could stop thinking about it. But then it sucks because I don't even know if I'm capable of loving someone or being in a relationship ugh.

I'm not sure why it bothers me but sometimes it really hurts to look at all the things I've built up around myself and know that they're just for me.

And then, once the fantasy starts, I end up worrying that he’d turn me down or I think about what would happen if he wasn’t immediately into me. Did I just completely lose all of my self-esteem or something? Why can’t I just let my imagination run wild and enjoy the fantasy and make him do whatever I want?

dealing with my shitty roommate situation and all the hell she did while we were living together and up until she finally fucked off back to the united states makes me wonder. i don't know how she could ever justify treating me the way that she did, or how she could ever go around and try to pretend that she was somehow a better person than me. i don't even understand why she was so obsessed with trying to dig into my personal life as i never bothered her nor cared about her or what she did in her own time. and she was constantly bragging to me about all these stupid parties she was going to and all these "friends" she had, like okay? good for you i guess? lol
even after i caught her charging shit under my name just before the semester was over, she still went and did it AGAIN anyway just before she moved out. and then she has the nerve to want to ask me to make sure our old room is clean and undamaged so that she can get her $800+ security deposit back. i don't know if it is stupidity or entitlement, but i do hope she grows up one day because she a fucking retard and i will never forgive her for trying to make her problems my problems.

I wish I could join another religion, I have been pagan with some wiccan influence for a long time and don't see myself stepping away from it because I truly believe in it. But so many other religions appeal to me as well, and they actually have an irl community as opposed to paganism (I'm surprised when people even know what it is). The values appeal to me but most are so sexist in practice, I don't want that for myself or my future children. I just want a community, I have friends but most don't really share my views or values. I have fun with them but I feel so lonely in my worldview sometimes.

I am always thinking i will always bother others. But worse than that, i will always get reminded how they will never get it, which is good for them. I am happy people around me make sadness out of the things that can be fixed in 5 minutes or some kind of a routine when I've got problems that do not have any fix. Nor there is anything i can do about them. I always have to shrug "it is what it is" at them while always hurting inside. God, i just wish anybody would understand me.

It feels like she died and some weird person replaced her and now I can't even call her by her real name or talk to her without feeling uneasy and sad. I want so badly to try to still connect with her despite everything but she just isn't the person I knew and grew up with.

Like I said, I know it's still her, but something inside me just feels sad, like how you'd feel seeing a loved one get lost in an addiction or something. I really try not to feel sad but I can't help it.
My entire family is very supportive of her. I've never told her nor any of my family members how I feel or expressed thoughts on any of it so I'm not outwardly unsupportive. I understand that if she feels unsupported she'd want to make a big deal of it, but all of us express how we still love her, call her by her preferred name and call her by he/him. We buy her 'male' clothes and 'male' body care as gifts and such. She talks to us every day still and I've never been mean to her because of her transition, I just keep it inside. So… idk.

Which isn't to say you can't come to love their new identity (or to them, their real one,) but it's completely understandable to take time. You deserve time to adjust and a frank conversation to come to terms with losing them as they were, it's not mutually exclusive with coming to love them as they are now.

Like these things weren’t made for people like me, and I should just kill myself. I had to stop going to them a while ago because I didn’t have the money. I don’t have the money for anything anymore. It makes me feel so debased, being only concerned with eating and staying alive. I don’t want to be concerned with eating and staying alive for the next ten years. The only thing I liked I had to stop. The last time I did something I liked was years ago. The hopes that I used to have feels fake and funny, like something you’d think of during a manic episode.

I hate my step grandmother. She stays with us for Christmas every year and it's the only thing I hate about the holidays. She's well intentioned but she has absolutely no concept of how the family flow goes in this house.
>My youngest sisters banter in a mean way but it's just back and foward jokes, it's not serious, but she keeps turning to the older of the two and giving out to her as if she's bullying the younger one.

I'm not fucking working hard enough, dammit. I'm 19 and I feel like an absolute piece of shit. I just ordered my steam to be deleted and deleted my twitter once again, because I fucking will always be an unsuccessful cunt.
My art is fucking bullshit that nobody likes, yet wealthy furries who fucking pretend to be miserable and poor get commissions on every drawing for 200 dollars, I wish I can fucking open up commissions but who the fuck would even look at my shit art? The people of crystal cafe at least like it, but I can't make pocket money off of it.
Even though university has ended for me this semester, I feel like shit that I am "taking a break" and not studying for anything, or seeking to improve in anything. I can't even play my favorite video game anymore, because I can't fucking decide what controller to use, because I am deathly afraid of getting carpal tunnel by playing incorrectly.
I'm 19 damn years old, and people at my age are getting a fuck ton of money from being prodigies and masters at art, or they fucking get internships from high profile rich companies. Meanwhile, what the fuck am I doing? I'm just being a piece of shit doing nothing. I force myself to draw for hours every day until I feel like fucking killing myself or ripping out the tendons of my arms, that's how frustrated I feel. And this goes for every other hobby that requires improvement, not just art. If I'm not good at it, the hell is the point?
God fucking help me. I wish I had friends who actually gave a damn about me sometimes, but I always have to hide my suffering like this, and then take it out accidentally on innocents. At least here, it's anonymous and nobody will know or care about my identity. I hate these bouts of frustrations I've been getting each week, I always feel so irritable and angry. Goddammit, if I'm not making a lot of money, what the fuck is the point. Really sucks that even on break, I have a lot of anxiety.

This is a dumb vent. I don't know how to explain this to anyone or even myself because I realize how autistic it sounds but I cannot stop feeling this way.
I don't have a mother, she died when I was young. My mother-in-law tries to treat me like her own daughter and for some reason it fills me with sadness.
It's always made me sad when families that aren't mine try to make me feel like a family member because it feels fake. It feels like they'll always love their own children more than they will me so it feels like one big lie. A sweet lie, but a lie I just can't play into nonetheless.
When my mom died, my best friend at the time's mom started inviting me to a lot of things like school award ceremonies. Neglective dad so I think that she knew if she didn't take me no one ever would. Even though it was a kind gesture, it made me feel so alone. Sitting with my best friend, her little brother and her mother and realizing that they're not my family and they never will be. Going to her house and realizing that no matter how many times I'm invited, it's not my house and never will be.
It made me feel like an alien misplaced with normal people that only "took me in" because of pity.
The only way I'll be able to have a potentially happy family is if I have kids.
My MIL has a daughter already, but of course I don't already have a mom and never will. I know she's being kind and sweet but somehow I just can't handle it.
Even if she truly means it when she says she views me as family my heart just can't accept it. Nothing makes me feel more alone and alien in the world than being around happy families. No matter how hard they try to include me I feel like I'll never be truly included. I'm not their kin. I feel like I don't belong no matter what.
I'm the only one unrelated here, so I'm the odd one out. A blue crayon placed in with a bunch of red ones, I don't know. I wonder if this is similar to how some adopted kids feel with their adoptive families. I feel like an orphan because of how distant my dad is anyway.

>>93446I know this is a distasteful response, but being in a family isn't always so great. My parents played this game of spite passing me back and forth after they got divorced. I ended up in a 50/50 split custody of alternating weeks. I had no home at that point. All because my mother had some epiphany after a minor surgery that she was unhappy/bored. I didn't feel like I had loving people around me until I moved away for college.

>>93446Not dumb or autistic. The pity or care of others is painful to receive compared to resignation and solitude, at least in the short term. It opens wounds.
Painful to hear just how much a rent your mother's passing has left. It's one thing to cause grief in its own right, but to deprive you of happiness from other things is another. That the acceptance and care of another family can't be enjoyed for what it is, but lamented for what it isn't. It's a terrible shame.
It sounds like you don't have many memories of being someone's top priority above all others, to be cared for. You must have had to take on a lot of responsibilities after her passing. So the feeling of hollowness at being accepted, but not loved and cared for first and foremost is very reasonable. I hope that there's someone you can talk to about this. That you can find peace enough, if not to replace familial love, then to at least find comfort in the love your in laws can offer. Good luck

>>92970I can't find anyone to talk to about my interests. I try to talk to people trough discord but I'm so so so socially awkward and off-putting that I can feel that their responses is them talking to me like you would to to a child. I know that they probably hate my presence there because I'm weird and I don't know how to articulate myself so sometimes my comments seems apathetic when they are not. I do care I just can't express myself.
I try to do some small talk with people on tumblr by replying to people's posts but I always gets ignored. Which is fair since most people don't communicate with the reply feature but I'm scared that the tumblr fandom thinks I'm pushy. I dislike twitter so that's out of the question.
There are threads about my interests on different imageboards which can be nice but it's not the same as having a one to one conversation with someone (plus those threads tend to attract people who view the medias trough a different lense than me or hold opinions about them I disagree with which makes the conversations less fun. not that I can't talk to people who I disagree with but it sucks when they keep insulting the aspects that I like).
I'm just sad because other closed-off people keep talking about how the internet is such a blessing and how it allowed them to open up and meet like-minded people. What am I doing wrong? I
try so so hard to appear friendly but I just feel like I come off as pushy and obsessive to others. And when I try to turn that down I just come off as mean and rude.

Yeah, that is true with social medias… There are definitely a lot of lowlives in this world. When I was an active kiwifarms member, I looked at people's misery to make myself feel better, and I pretty much looked down on most of my peers. I was an arrogant jackass, and I think I still have traits of that today.
I don't harass or stalk people like how I used to before, but goddamn, these feeling of insecurity are still really strong. I just want a good, comfortable life for myself. Maybe working outside of my country would be nice, but I'm not asking to become a millionaire.
I did delete my social medias, and if my checking of some websites get worse, I will block with my hosts file.

I have had autism my entire life. My mother took me to get tested at 10, but they said I did not have it. I have never had any friends and did not know what boundaries meant, I've had violent temper tantrums and dont know how to speak to people. I would throw tantrums at being forced to touch specific textures like sand, and used to wear headphones or turned off my hearingaid for noise. I recently got my first boyfriend who I met from online. I love him, but I cant go out to do a lot of things. I am 19 years old. My mother never understood me, she constantly belittled me and would tell me to suck it up, blame me, etc, but she was sick with cancer when I was a little age. My father died last year of a heart attack. My father had drugs problems and PTSD but was still a well meaning father, who was also abused by his parents. My mother also had her own issues, she was raped when she was young and saw her own mother physically abused by her father. My mom would get pets and foster children to fill in the void, and now, my mom got this kid when I was 14, in the inpatient hospital, the child was 6-7. This child constantly snuck around, stole my things, and whatnot. She also tried killing our animals, and when my father died when I was 18, all she ever did was ask how he died, no remorse, nothing. My mother and stepdad adopted her when she was 9 without even telling me about it and not even asking me about how I'd feel about it. I always told them I wanted her to go back there. I was jealous, envious because she had the life with my mom that I never had due to her sickness, due to my mom blaming me for my own insecurities and faults that I couldnt control.
I left home the past two months, two weeks in each of those trips, to visit my boyfriend, because I could not stand being home. I don't hate my mom or my dead father, I love them both, but I always yearn for my mom's affection, and now, now that Im moving out, I dont know what to do. When I am here, I don't feel at home, I feel angry and hateful and just wanting my mom's love. She and I used to fight really bad, she blamed me when I got sexually assualted and when I got bullied, but she also blamed me when I got stalked. When I got into radfem theory and met radfems, I began blaming her less and realizing that she had her own issues, that her past, like her getting raped at 8 years old was still affecting her. She married my stepfather for money, because she had 0 chances as a woman of color back then. She brokedown to me last year about her being suicidal and her telling me she lived her entire life for me, when she had me, she gave up her drugs, and how she cant do anything now. Im moving out close to her with my boyfriend, but I cant imagine doing it. When we had my stepfathers family, when the foster child was with them, my mother and I were tired from the presents and I was telling her to hurry up with hers because she had an entire bag of presents while everyone else finished theirs, and she wanted everyone to watch her, and she knew that we did not sleep for 24 hours wrapping presents, and she said "but family is more important". I wanted to fucking beat her right then and there, but I just smiled. Im cleaning stuff up for when I move out, but when I think about my mom and the whole household, it makes me not want to. Im afraid of not having my mom love me anymore, Im afraid of her loving someone else more than me. I know Im being selfish, I know, but I just wanted my mom and I.. I just wanted to make my mom happy, I just wanted to spend time with her. It's not fair. I wish I never had autism, I wish nothing was wrong with me so I was enough for my mom, so she didn't need anyone else except me and she didnt think I was such a mistake. It's what she told me, she told me that nobody else would want me, nobody would put up with me except her. Now I am crying, because I dont even know if I can move out. I don't know how to live life without my mother. I get annoyed and start shaking when I talk to people outside, I get scared and angry, and I just hate it. I hate anything that's not my mom or people that are close to me. I dont want her to have another daughter, I dont want to be replaced when I leave..

i'm tired of everyone leaving me. my best friend of 6 years cut me off after i had a nearly fatal suicide attempt that landed me in the ER, followed by a week in the psych ward. when i came back, i expressed how i feel neglected by my friends, still clearly not in the right mindset, and i deleted all my socials from my phone, and ended up hospitalized again.
this time, i lasted up to a month before getting in contact with the rest of my friends, and i come to see she has blocked me on quite literally everything. at first, it obviously stung but i accepted it as a consequence of my rrecent behavior, but as time passes i keep getting softblocked by my "friends" who gradually stopped talking to me, more than half who i didnt tell where i was for the past month. which makes me believe my ex best friend is out there telling everyone i'm crazy, and now I'm being cut off left and right by people who barely know me.
the only people left in my life are friends from outside that circle and my boyfriend.
I'm just really hurt, because I'm being cut off without even having my point of view.

I dont think im capable of love. Or at least i feel like my version of love is different from the romanticized versions that normoids peddle. The tt girlies spoke of attachment disorders, and im inclined to agree. I seek this connection for emotional stabilization, or at least im automatically distraught when facing the possibility that i might lose the connection. When i have it, i am… not as excited. I become cool, distant. It’s not as if i wish to distance myself. Merely that my brain keeps searching for reasons why things might not work out. It’s like a paradoxical instantaneous switch that happens between the two ends of the spectrum. My brain constantly seethes from the isolation and seeks companionship and when it gets it, it protests against the change. I don’t know if this is an issue with me or if it’s a question of the wrong person

>>93518I don't think you could have ever made her happy, I don't think anybody can. She carries a lot of pain that she tried to bury by dedicating her entire self to you. As if you were some silver bullet for everything she'd gone through. Nobody can fill that role. If the foster child seemed to, it's only because you were also there to take the heat of her unresolved trauma. And in being raised to cure that trauma, not only are you afflicted by hers, but yours go unresolved. You've lived your life dealing with the consequences of her sexual assault - but who's helped you with yours? What makes your trauma any less valid than hers? And why is it that you're still capable of forgiving her behaviour despite your trauma, while she's apparently unable to stop blaming you?
You have not failed her. Her suffering is not because you fell short. If you had good enough grades, made enough friends, were more accomplished or popular - would that erase her memories of being raped, seeing her mom be abused, being in an unhappy marriage of necessity? You did what you could, but it never would have been enough for her.
I know that may be of little comfort to you, who've spent so long with her, who needs her love and acceptance so badly for your sake as well as hers. But whatever your feelings towards her, try to remember that your relationship with her, your 'failure' to make her happy, was never your fault. At some point, we have to take responsibility for our own happiness. Placing the burden on anyone else, especially a child, is pointless. Your being unable to erase her past does not mean you can't make anyone happy. You were a stranger to your boyfriend once, but are now more. You can do that with others too. You don't need to be happy with strangers - just open enough to find the few who matter to you. And can learn to appreciate you, not as a cure for their painful life, but as an improvement to it

I love her very much, and I know I was not the best before either. I just don't talk about it, and I hold myself back. She hasnt blamed me in a while, more so critiqued me. I just feel a lot of envy for my younger foster sister and want it to be my mom and I. I know it is unreasonable, but I dont even feel 19. I still feel like a child, and I think its because I never had a childhood with her due to her being sick.. I am afraid of not being able to spend time with her. I am also afraid of her getting sick again because she got cancer twice (once when I was 7-10 and again at 14) and my dad died just last year.. I know I cant save her, but I just wish I was capable of giving her a better life, I wish I could give her her dream of owning a farm in serenity. I cant stand the thought of her feeling empty. Thank you so much. This helped me feel a bit better of myself, to not blame myself as much as I do.

Over plan the executive plan of the task sort of like to amp yourself up for undertaking it. Start doing some… feel inadequate. Give up and procrastinate. Do the task halfassed and fucked up when the time runs out. Feel like utter shit for having shat the bag as usual. My god. I need some serious rewiring in my brain. At first i thought it was anxiety preventing from reaching my full potential. Now im inclined to think im just fundamentally incapable of executing tasks to their fruition in an immaculate or semi immaculate state. I tried to lower my standards. I really did.

I need some affection from a warm body right now, preferably male. Men are always warmer on the surface of their skin compared to me, and men have always said my hands are cold and clammy. I have no men to do this for me though. I just want a hug, to hold each other, or hold hands.

My only remaining friend from high school broke up with her boyfriend of nearly 5 years over Thanksgiving and I think she was cheating on him with some loser scrote from her dead-end job. He's 4-5 years older than her.

I’ve been pining over some scrote for a couple of months and now that he confessed he still loves and he wants a real relationship i’ve been feeling very anxious and sort of icky.

i feel kind of bad but…i am really going to have to prioritize myself next year. i am not happy with my grades so far from my first semester back in university as i know i could and have done so much better in the past. i have a lot of anxiety about losing the tuition award i received from the university, as the extra money helps a lot, and in general i just know i could have done so much better if i had put myself first. there was so much stupid drama i dealt with when i first came to the university, and i feel as though i let myself down in many ways as i realize that i forgot to care for myself and my own needs. i also want to enjoy the rest of the time i have left in this university as this was my dream school in a dream location, a dream i never thought was ever going to come true and i somehow made it here. i feel so genuinely blessed and like there was literal divine intervention going on in my life, cause i went from living in my shitty small town with my dysfunctional family to studying in europe, and there isn't a day that goes by where i don't wake up and thank god in my head for changing my life. i just feel so incredibly selfish for putting myself and my goals first, but goddamn it, i fought so hard to be where i am and put up with so much bullshit to get here and i just want to relish in it because i don't know if i will ever have this kind of opportunity again, or how long it may last. plus i am turning 28 next year, and that means 30 is right around the corner, and i want to enjoy the rest of my 20's while i still have a lot of freedom, being single and young and not having to worry about anything but what really matters.

I'm so fucking sad and lonely. I haven't had friends in years and don't know how to talk to people anymore. CC and LC are the only places I interact with people which helped so much with the loneliness for a while but now I'm just pining for a girl friend I can talk and be happy with. I tried joining a discord but I'm honestly just there as a creeper cause I have no fucking clue how to integrate with the culture. I also tried making an internet friend but I fucked it when I didn't respond for two weeks and ended up sending her an absolute mammoth of a message in reply.

I'm planning on getting surgery for a body deformity I have in 2023. It's cosmetic, but it still means a lot to me. This particular thing has been fucking me up ever since I was a child (I'm now in my mid 20s), I've had years to think it over, and I don't think I've been so dead set on something in my whole life. For the longest time, I was ashamed of wanting surgery. I've waited it out, tried to cope. No amount of "Oh, you're fine as you are", "Stop giving in to beauty standards", "You're beautiful tee-hee" (especially from a "normal" person) or "Actually, I have a fetish for this" will change my own outlook on my body.
There's this niggling thought at the back of my mind, though, like "Am I any different from a tranny if I go through with this?". In a sense, I'm not, because I know this isn't all in my head. My life is adversely affected by how I look, and I have been treated like a freak or an oddity over it. On the other hand, I'm changing this aspect of myself all because of a desired self-image that was largely imposed on me by outside factors. I guess that's wrong from a feminist perspective, but as an individual woman, I didn't sign up for this. I never wanted to be a body positivity warrior or activist or whatever. I just want to get on with life. Feel normal, maybe pretty. I don't know, man.

>>93677Not everyone has to be brave n0nna, you have the option open now. But one thing I'll mention is that I find less and less people care about stupid things like deformities the farther away they are from school. It's like kids are designed to pick on anyone or anything different but then the moment they're no longer in that environment as adults they realize that none of it matters and start minding their own damn business. But the choice is yours in the end. I don't know what you have so I don't know if it's something people would notice on a first look, but if it's not you might be right at the point of people no longer caring. If you could delay your surgery to get a sense of how life is like now that might be a good idea since you're on the fence a little bit on it

My BDD is killing my mind so badly I'm feeling suicidal at times.
I like the way I look in the mirror, but look like a goddess in one photo and eldritch creature in next. I hate when other people take pictures of me because it's such a fucking coinflip in terms if I look like a human being or deformed creature. I also have recorded myself and I've noticed that just a change of lighting is enough to turn me into good looking into weird. What the fuck do I look like? Am I beautiful or not? Am I catfishing people with my pictures? I don't edit my pictures or anything, but I feel like I do use way too deceiving angles and good lighting. I've asked my brother if I'm a catfish and he keeps saying no, but I feel like he is lying to spare my feelings because he knows how obsessed I'm with shit like this he is probably scared I will kill myself if he admits that I am a catfish.
I hate this. This has gotten so much worse ever since I started crushing on a moid who doesn't give a shit about me. It's made all my BDD related issues so much worse. I'm going crazy.

Why are trannies allowed to get free plastic surgery but people whose mind are every day getting fucked from feeling ugly as shit and ravaged by the traits that make them hate themselves hopelessly are just given the ''just accept urself lmao'' bullshit?

I don't know if this goes here but I vented about this here before so I guess it's appropiate?
Anyways I broke up with my manipulative and narcissistic ex more than half a year ago. After a string of misserable dates, and feeling extremely lonely, I started chatting with him again and sharing memes and what not. Eventually we did a videocall. A was very anxious, fearing all those feelings of love or longing or what have would have come back and I would do something stupid. But that didn't happen, we catched up, and he spoke a lot, he talked about or "mutual" break up, and how "now" we weren't great together, but hinted that maybe in the future. And all that anxiety faded, I realize what he was trying to do, save face, while trying to imply we could get together later. As well as leaving in the clear he wasn't romantically involved with anyone and had no intentions of doing it for a while. And that if he got together with someone it would have to be with someone hotter than me, and said that when I change him for some I should do the same. To which I replied I would date whoever I liked, and I'm not trading shit.
Anyways, felt real vindicated after that call, and a lot of my anxiety and loneliness cleared up, knowing I made the right call.
There's still some feelings, but more than anything I think it's just a habit more than proper feelings if that make any sense.

For example, if you asked him what my hobbies or interests were, he honestly wouldn't be able to tell you because he simply doesn't give a shit. I exist to just serve his ego ("Oh wow my daughter is doing well in school, it's because I was an amazing parent") or to just to do all the fucking menial tasks he doesn't want to do himself. I'm not going to even bother getting into all the physical and mental abuse he's done to put me and my sibling down. He thinks because he paid for food and shelter growing up that he's parent of the century and that I need to be eternally grateful for him despite him being a pathetic human being.

>>94051>>94052Thank you nonis, you are both so sweet. I was just feeling very resentful in that moment. Even though I have people around me, I don't feel supported by them at all and it made me wonder if maybe I'm unintentionally doing something and it's my fault. It doesn't feel like anyone is looking out for me and it feels really lonely. I accept that that's how it is and that at the very least I can look after myself. I'm sorry you feel the same way. It's frustrating and sad to hear that so many people feel so lonely.

I've posted about this a few times before I think but it's only gotten worse as time goes on. I can't stop being nostalgic and caught up in the past and how good things were to me back then. been obsessively watching old concerts and scrolling through dead forms for vkei bands back when they were at their peak, looking at old jfashion magazine scans and scrolling through dead tumblrs and livejournals to see coords and blogposts and street snaps (and even drama too) from back then, reminiscing on or rewatching/rereading/replaying the anime, manga, and video games that were once popular or that I have fond memories of, digging through the /cgl/ archives looking at all the older posts, etc. it's probably not healthy to dwell so much in the past but I really miss how things were and obviously it won't ever be exactly how it was again. I'm honestly thinking of either making and selling clothes inspired by earlier japanese street fashions or making video games that have similar formula and appearances to the old ones I like. maybe I can channel this obsessive nostalgia into something productive…

When i was being abused at home as a teenager my friends at the time were really inconsiderate and mean. I did a lot of work on myself in therapy since then but everytime i think back on how cruel those girls were and how no one thought to uplift me in that dark place in my life i don’t blame all the dumb phenomenons like narcissists or Stockholm syndrome in the world. Jesus..

>>94086Don't beat yourself up over it too much. Sounds like a symptom more than a problem - if there's nothing to look forward to in your life, you'll fall back on old comforts. Trying to deprive yourself of those would be very difficult if they're the only thing you can rely on to bring you some kind of peace. Not to say you aren't right to try to stop it or make it more productive if it's eating into your life, just that it's an understandable struggle. Did you want to try talking about why things aren't as good for you now as then?

in the fall, i got accepted into a research fellowship at my uni and will be working on an independent study up until graduation. I suspect that a big factor in my acceptance was the fact that i’ve been assisting for this project for over a year and a half now outside of class. You’d think that the familiarity would ease my nerves, but i feel overwhelmed by the fact that i’ll no longer have grad students and post-docs directing my every move. i’ve longed to do my own project for so long now, and now that i’m actually about to do it, i feel like such an newb, like i haven’t gained any experience at all.
either way, i’m going to try my best, and try to trust in myself. there’s no point in expecting a bitter end when you haven’t even seen the beginning.

I was talking to this guy and I told him I didn't want dick pics, but he kept insisting that it was ~so hard~ for him to take pics without his dick in it, and then he told me to please ignore my boundaries so he could send his dick. Just fucking why? I told him I hate dick pics. Did he think his would be so ahmazing that it would change my mind? Ghosted him obvs but god I hate gross desperate men.

Very niche rant.
How do i get over jealousy of my friend being more popular online than me. I never was good at socializing irl, so i wanted to become a semipopular artist or just funny account or whatever. It never worked, i guess i dont have the stuff to grow a following. I never even posted art online out of anxiety. I also just couldnt stay on one account for longtime because i would start to get nervous about posting and people and everything and ghost the account. For some reason, it feels like i develop a new personality for every account i make. And it never feels like myself, so i abandon it. I dont know what my real personality is i guess, but thats beside the point. Anyways, i found out that my friend posts art and has a following of more than 10k. Shes kept it a secret from our friends. She also has a close friend online who she would sometimes mention to us offhandedly, but i just found out that friend also posted art, and has a following of over 20k. 20k!!!! I'm so jealous. Something like what she has is something i've always wanted. Im considering posting art to secretly compete with her, even though she doesnt know that i know of her account, like this is a one side rivalry. I know i am being childish. I'm just so fucking jealous

>>94197The male service staff thing has 3 parts.
>single women will give bigger tips than their usual customers if they can be made to feel invested>restaurants hire staff based on the belief that friendliness and sociability drive the restaurant experience rather than food and cleanliness so if you're not socializing with other friendlies they're supposed to provide the ambiance, but neither friendliness nor sociability make someone good at friendship or social reading–best friends and worst manipulators alike are often distinctly cold to the touch. female staff are usually better at picking up when you'd prefer to not have someone blather at you despite their training.>bartenders and other restaurant staff are supposed to be significantly more vigilant with single women since nobody wants the cops to show up the next day asking "was anyone following her, and was there any opportunity for a stranger to tamper with her meal or drink?"

I know I should do things for myself, but I really find it hard to stay motivated when I have nobodoy around me.
Last year I faced the hard truth that my loved ones don't really care about me, I'm a ghost to them, and isn't something that is on my mind, I could have told everyone that I'm going to kill myself on christmas and they would have probably told me something like "stop making a drama and calm down".
My only friends left the country and are in other parts of the world, I'll probably never see them again. The guy who I've been using to vent these last two years probably just want to have sex with me and nothing else.
My sister, who was basically my best friend, became independant of the family and started avoiding all the family because she doesn't want anything to do with our problems. She stills talk to me but is not the same, she's distant and I barely know anything about her anymore.
I don't know, what's the point of aiming for a good job and money if you don't have anyone to share good moments with? I feel hopeless about my loneliness.

Lmao, the little scrote who had been simping for me for a year, the instant (well it more so happened after 2 weeks) i told him i liked him back he stopped trying. Texts got shorter. Silences longer. The last discussion we’ve had things got a little heated. I could tell he finally started seeing flaws in me. Things feel different.
Now, i tend to be paranoid sometimes. But im never delusional outright. My intuition can whiff the stench from a mile away. Now i have to deal with the absolute demeaning fact that i lowered myself enough to this moid by being emotionally intimate with him. Fucking useless worthless scrote.
I wrote a text 3 days ago explaining that it was simply my nature to pull away from potential relationships if i so much as sense that the other party isn’t invested. He called explaining that there really was no undercurrent of tension and that he liked me so much. I apologized for overreacting and here we are. He has been busy but i know from the normoid girlies that if he wanted to he would. Anyways, i feel whatever affection i have getting scanter by the second. I mostly want to grind his bones into dust now. But i know ive lost the power to hurt him effectively after reciprocating his putrid fucking feelings.

How do I get over kink? When I was 8-11, I was introduced to rape kinks and bdsm. I was dependent onto older men because it as all I had. I am now 19. I don't know how to get over it. I have not talked to anyone about it for years, but I feel it slowly coming back. I feel so guilty. I associate my value with my youth and beauty constantly. I have been told constantly that my only value was youth, I have not been loved unless I fit this standard. I dont know how to get over it. I became a radfem, and it helped alleviate it, but I dont think I can ever get in a relationship with a man without being so terrified. I was stalked by a 34 year old man when I was 13. I looked back at our messages and almost cried knowing how I acted. I feel so fucking guilty. I was in a ring full of predators and I dont know how to get out of it. I grew up with it, I grew up with it being fucking normalized. Im so lost. I have tried therapy for 10 years, and nothing. I have attempted suicide once every year and I cant like myself, with aging. I hate what I came to. I hate that Im still like this. How do I ever love myself fully when my own parents were not there for me, when they have constantly told me that I was less than and when I constantly got bullied? How can I love myself? The only love I got were from pedophiles. I hate knowing that there are even men reading this. I hate that there are men who seeks pleasure off of this. Im scared. Im terrified. I hate knowing that images from when I was 11 exists out there. I hate it. I hate this world. I hate how cruel people can be.
How do I get over fearing aging and get over this idea that if I hit a specific weight or age that Im unlovable? I dont want to be like this. I dont want to think of myself like that. I want to love myself, but its so hard being so lonely. I hate being alone more than anything, I hated dealing with these thoughts and crying myself every night.
Im sorry Im rambling on like this, s.

Honestly at this point I don't even know who I am as a person, I just mirror the people I talk to because I want them to like me because I know im just a boring negative person who isn't interesting in the slightest. I actually had a friend who I made over quarantine and we bonded over a big insecurity of ours. We became really close and I really thought we were best friends but for a while now it just seems like she's forgotten about me because she has all these other friends now and so much is always going on in her life that she's just forgotten about me. Last time we hung out she was telling me all these things that have been going on with her and I had literally nothing to say my life is so boring and sad.. nothing goes on with me it's so embarrassing. Like it's really made me realize how much of a loser I really am, incapable of keeping friendships because I'm so uninteresting and bring nothing to the table.

>>94394Oh, nona.
I'm not a therapist, but my first thought when reading this post is that you should probably go to one.
If you can’t for some reason you might want to consider the following things:
> Try to learn a new skillThis will make it so that you take pride in something that isn’t your looks.
It could also help you to get some more self esteem.
This skill could be anything sewing, drawing, mathematics, whatever you want.
Also if you have problems with learning something new, try to get some sort of learning buddy. You’ll probably be able to find one in the friendfinder thread on lolcow.
>Try to look into your coping styleEveryone copes this is not a bad thing, however some ways of coping are more healthy than others
> Also, if you have anxiety of ageing try to get a mantra, maybe it’ll help.Maybe try something like “On the inside, I’m beautiful.”.
> I hate that there are men who seeks pleasure off of this.If it helps you could think about how miserable the lives of those men would be.
They're the type of people who will never be loved.

i want to stop being the revengeful spiteful bitch i want to be a sweet girl even if it means being a doormat.
i already made the move and forgave people from the past, gave closure to people I've hurt (and were willing to listen) but I've burnt so many bridges in the past and now the people around me are afraid of ever getting into my bad side. I'm hysterical because I'm two faced. I just want to keep the "sweet" side and put the spiteful one in the trash where she belongs.
Although I know that's not how it works, that repressing feelings lead to worse outcomes and that i just need to accept myself but I think of what that girl Liz said (cf embed) : to create an alter ego because the world isn't entitled to my shitty side. I just want to give people who hurt me today the same peace i feel and give to the people around me now, and that if anyone ever cuts bridges with me, that I won't be mad about it.
I just want to be a soulless doll that performs well. No amount of awareness that mental institutions are just sexist racist and whateverphobic will make me happy as I am now, the bpd was the hysterical who herself was a witch of her times.But I have to change, because no one can truly accept me for too long.

I'm done trying to make online friends. I'm a lonely person so most of my time after highschool I had to rely on this to have some interaction. For a while it was enough as long as I had some chance to meet them irl one day, which is why I mostly looked for people from my country.
That said, every person I tried to meet irl after being online friends, it turned out to be underwhelming.
The first online friend became my first relationship after we met irl.
The second one was someone who turned out to be really weird and not like I thought while talking from distance.
The third one was very recent, it was someone who I got very close, because I got a lot of support and good advice in hard times for me. I felt a genuine connection with that person because I felt like we both had genuine interest in the other despite the distance. This person made me believe we had the same problems to make friends and connect with people general, and while it wasn't the main reason why I was very open with this person, it was a big one. The we got to meet eachother a couple days ago after talking for almost 3 years, and we had fun, but I felt because I saw this person at the event we went to meeting and talking with random strangers without much effort. It made me feel awful, not because I didn't like it, just that it made me feel even more socially retarded, since I know that this person is genuinely lonely like me, but we have a huge difference when it comes to social skills. I felt way too introverted and shy, even in a place that was full of introverted and shy people.
I guess I don't fit anywhere, not even the groups where the nerdy and weird people go to.
I'm going to learn to accept my lonelines and live my life according to that.

I'm trying to change. A fundamental change not some wishy washy bullshit. Every fucking year I wake up and think, yes this year I'm going to fucking change.
I took a little silly scroll through my gallery from the summer, and by God. I was in Paris at the time, and I was numb most of the time. But now that I look at the pictures I legit get bile in my throat and the urge to fucking vomit. I hate that bitch so god damn much. People tell you you need to forgive yourself in order to move on but it's so hard. I don't know if I've become borderline retarded, if I have adhd or if I'm simply scatter brained. But like, it's hard to stick to one decision. I DECIDE to forgive myself. And for a while I think I did. And I don't feel so bad. But then I look at old me in pictures and I'm just filled with revulsion and pure loathing and I just want to crawl out of my skin. It would make sense if such a demented and dramatic reaction is warranted because I was a legitimately bad or unethical person. No. Not even that. I just made a handful of wrong choices, and am now suffering for them. I literally feel like I'm not her.
And why am I so tense? Why am I so jumpy and neurotic? I almost had a breakdown today because I couldn't park the car. The fact that I lost my driving skills after 4 months of not having sat behind a wheel made me question my very ability to be a functional member of society. No really. That little microscopic failure from this morning cast such a sinister shadow on the rest of my day. I began to try and fit every little stumble, every imperfect gesture, every thing I don't master from the get go as proof of my general inaptitude.
I don't want to go on living like this. I WANT to love myself. I want to love myself enough to forgive her for her past mistakes. To look past the small hiccups. To look past the fact that she's become borderline lobotimzed she crawls still at the very bottom of the learning curve.

I'm working on college applications and it has just been stressing me out because it's really showing me how worthless I really am and how little I bring to the table. For all of my years in high school I've done nothing with myself besides be miserable. And since school started in person again during my junior year I have made zero friends.. I've spent my last years of high school being a miserable loner. It's made me realize how repulsing I am looks wise and the attitude I give off because nobody has talked to me. I do my makeup everyday, I put in all this effort to look good, to look more out there so people will think I'm cool and will want to be my friend but it's really proven to me how ugly I am. Everyday it's the same miserable cycle of not talking and just being anxious the whole day at school. Because of this I literally have a twitching problem. When I'm at school just sitting in classes, if I start to feel to anxious I'll twitch and it's so embarrassing but I don't know what to do about it. It's become a problem for when I go anywhere and when I get anxious over being around so many people, I twitch.
And once I finally get home from school, I rely on the internet to make me feel better. I live on the internet but now I have to go to college and I have to get a job and I can't just wallow in my own misery in my room anymore. I should be at a point in my life where I'm happy and have friends and am in a relationship. I thought these last years of being a teenager were supposed to be the happiest moments in my life but I'm just a miserable ugly loser. What sucks the most is that I have been so desperate for validation that I don't receive anywhere that I've lowered my standards to get attention from ugly incel losers.. I've even tried being friends with these freaks but it's impossible to be friends with these weirdos like wow there really is no hope for me. I hate everything and everyone I don't want to be bitter and hateful but I look at myself and think what have I become.. I've reached rock bottom, I have breakdowns in my room all the time, constantly questioning why I'm still even here because why does it matter if nobody cares about me. I wish I had friends or at least one friend. I truly am unlovable and it's been proven to me so many times, my mom doesn't love me, my so called friends always stop talking to me and I'm incapable of finding a love life. I have turned into a chronically online anti-social freak.. like where do I even go from here. It pisses me off how my mom doesn't even care that I'm constantly on the verge of ending it. All she cares about is me sending in college applications and studying to get my permit and finding a job. But she doesn't care about how I feel at all, she just gets mad at me any chance she gets, she's the reason I'm so messed up mentally. What's the point when you have no will to live how am I supposed to go on if nothing makes me happy. My mom gave birth to and raised an ugly untalented freak. I'm so unhappy on where I am in life.

Don't be too much of a try-hard for friends. I became like that at one point and all it did was make me look annoying and desperate, and turn people away from me even more. For example, I kept asking one girl that sat next to me in class if she wanted to hang out, every single time after class. Every time she said no because she was going somewhere with her boyfriend, and it was obvious she preferred only hanging out with him. My borderline-autist ass would try and force a friendship on people after a single friendly conversation. I've been on the receiving end of this so I should have known better, but I autistically thought just "trying over and over" would work.

But I don't make an effort to talk to people at all because I'm literally anti-social and I'm scared that nobody would actually ever want to be my friend so I'm just waiting for someone to make the first move out of fear of rejection.

>>94409>his dream girl>goes out with other women yeah idk about how worth it this might be. i'm not doubting he likes you, and in fact it seems like he likes you a lot, but most scrotes who date around instead of seriously trying the chance with the woman they allegedly want to truly be with are either lying about their feelings, general trash or too flighty to be a good boyfriend in the long term anyways.
if you're in love you can give this a shot as this is the sad normal for dating these days so, but it doesn't look that good of a choice to me.

i just broke up with my pothead slob bf
i really thought he was the one, but the facade i saw when i was with him fell apart when he didn't want to delete a video of us having sex when i told him i thought i was ugly and wasn't comfortable with him jacking off to that. he got really defensive and put his masturbation needs before my emotions. that was pretty disgusting.
he has been crying almost everyday because we have been fighting a lot. i am tired of looking after his emotions when he is supposed to be the man. all i felt when talking to him was exhaustion from carrying his emotional damage, but it was fine because i knew it would get better (or i would get used to it).
he has been a slob, i always asked him to clean his room (the trash and dishes, i really hate the food smell, not that i expect him to actually clean) and he only did it 2 out of 10 times. he is kind of chubby and always whined about his appearance although i liked it. he always promised himself that he would work out and get stronger for me but that day never came, and this made me lose hope.
he never tried to get better, ever.
whenever i tried to help him, he would always say that i was being "pushy" and "acting like my mother", when i just wanted him to wash his face or drink a glass of water to stop him from crying. this is how it got unbearable.
whenever we fought, he never tried to understand my emotions, always said sorry at the wrong time if he did, and was always telling me his perspective without trying to understand mine.
i was really tired of being jealous of all the couples i saw, going on cute dates etc. when the most interesting thing we did was acid once or twice a year, but of course never alone. if i wanted to see him, i would go over to his friends. 60% of the time we had a "date" i had to drag him out of his friends house or spent time with his friends. when we were out together he would always talk about his friends even though i told him numerous times not to do it.
after all this, i broke up. didnt shed a single tear yet. i have no other friends so i still talk to him. i dont know what to do. after a 1.5+ year relationship i realized it wasnt much more than a fwb situation. i find comfort in solitude, but it has been hard to let go.

I think I’m really depressed. I feel like I try really hard to get through the day to day and savor the little things. I’ve been trying to take care of myself by going out to do things on the weekend even if it’s just by myself, not isolating from friends, keeping up with cleaning and all that stuff. Even with all that, I still feel so tired and lonely. It’s easy to slip into moods where I feel so sad and my self-esteem drops. I’m sure part of it is because I’m really far from everyone I know and I don’t have any supports where I live. My job is also incredibly stressful. I don’t know what to do. I feel so stuck and time is only passing by where I continue to spend it in this state of blah. I could move or change jobs but I don’t even know where to start.

>>94437Iktf. There's something really cringe about being so close and intimate online only to meet up and feel like strangers. It's a lot easier to open up online, my closest online friend knows more about me than anyone in real life. Those connections can feel so strong, and it's hard not to expect the same level of bonding when meeting up. Having super intimate late night conversations, sharing trauma and stuff before seeing each other face to face.. makes things weird. Unfortunately.
For now I'm just keeping online friends online. Just appreciating it for what it is. Did you video/voice chat with these people? I have a close online friend but she's shy and just wants to text and tbh that's completely fine. I'm super shy too but it would be nice to see if we could at least vibe over video chat.

My mom is ill too and I don't expect her to get very old. Have you watched Interstellar? Everything is so temporary. We think of our parents as these pillars who will always be there but nothing ever stays the same and it's so fucking brutal. Losing a parent is the most absurd feeling. I delve into stuff like the simulation theory and the many-worlds interpretation to cope. Thinking about how temporary and fragile this life is and how it's not the be all end all. There could be lots of other realities out there. Thinking of every family member as temporary connections.

my confession is that when i was 14 i dropped a friend because she kept dating immature of age out of highschool scrotes despite me telling her not to and explaining exactly why she shouldn't do that as gently but firmly and as best as i could at that age. i told her that it didn't matter how immature and juvenile they presented themselves as it didn't matter because whether they're doing it as a ruse or actually immature the end goal is to get in her pants or otherwise get something sexual out of her, which they did because she sent them nudes. i wasn't even mad at her i just couldn't take it anymore seeing her get taken advantage of so often and hearing her defending them. i probably should have stayed because two years later i felt guilty about it and messaged her apologizing and asking to catch up and she was surprisingly casual about it as she said i had a "habit of ghosting people randomly" which tbf i did and we talked about it together often. and suddenly she tells me she went out with even more WAY older moids and even had sex with them OFTEN not just one time. at that point i felt really sick. both times i wasn't even mad at her but three years later i still haven't messaged her back since she told me that. i felt really guilty thinking maybe if i stayed in contact with her she might not have gone so far so many times. at the end of the day it's her choice and mine was to leave to not see her ruin herself any longer. i still think about her. she was a really cool person and i know that the moids taking advantage of her weren't even seeing a quarter of that. i just get so mad and filled with disgust when i think of them. she was kind too because i was the ugliest weirdest girl and autist in our class, and she unhesitantly accepted me as gay when i told her without being weird about it at all. i know realistically i don't have the power to make anyone do anything no matter how good or bad it is and i'm not a savior but i still wonder if i could have ever made a difference… i feel really bad because she explicitly told me that i broke her heart the first time i left her. i miss when we were friends but i don't think i could be with her anymore. i just really really wish her well, and i hope that she is safe, or that she finds safety in someone deserving of it and capable of providing it sincerely and with respect

I'm freaking out about my job trial because I know my life depends on it. I now I will be devastated and probably will kill myself if I can't keep this job.
Today I was doing my tasks and my boss came to see what I was doing, she didn't say anything, she just stood there looking at what I was doing. I felt so much preassure, I wanted to run away. The worst is that I messed something up and she noticed, at that moment I truly wanted to cry, but I didn't and just apologized and kept doing my thing, she didn't say anything.
When the shift was over I had to go to the bathroom to cry, because I couldn't hold it any longer.
I need this job so bad, I can't ruin it, but I'm so scared. My life is a nightmare and the only way to feel slighly better is finding a job, and I've looking for one for around 8 months, this was the only one in which they "accepted" me, but only for a one month trial, if I fuck this up I won't keep the job.
The worst is that I don't anyone to vent, to ask for support or anything. If I tell this to my mom she'll kick me out of the house

right before my period i get insane and start throwing long tantrums at my boyfriend. i'm otherwise a pretty stable and sweet person.
i feel a lot of conflicting emotions about this more or less monthly ocurrence, and some of them are guilt and embarrassment.
it somewhat relieves me to blame this behavior on my pms, because i imagine he thinks i'm crazy when it happens and also because he's a good boyfriend and doesn't exactly deserve it.
i know what i'm going to say next contradicts what i just said, but on the other hand he did things i can't forgive due to my own issues and others that would be objectively shitty to anyone, i brushed all of them off because i love him very much and want to stay together, but especially at this time of the month i think back on them a lot with extreme sadness and anger and i feel like some of them were never addressed properly so i need to get them off my chest.
blaming all of my disappointment and the laying out of some of my deepest feelings all on my period hurts me as much as it relieves me when i think i cross the line. there is a legitimate hurt part of myself that feels the permission to rage when my hormones say so, i think.
and beyond all of this, there is the infuriating powerlessness of not being able to change the past and knowing i will carry this hurt forever. i think i'm getting angry again.

I love and hate my mother. I understand all the bad things she has done to me weren't bad in her eyes, she genuinely thought she was doing her best. She's a traumatized woman, growing up poor she wouldn't have what to eat most days, was a victim of sexual abuse for years in her childhood. But the truth is, all the things she did broke me. She caused my mental illness, my inability to trust and connect with people. Still I pity her, even when she is cruel to me.

You don't get to just throw the dice like that and gamble like "yeah it'll probably be okay despite me being fucked up". I wish more moms would have the self-awareness to NOT become moms.

i knew cheating was common, but i didn't expect it to be as widespread as it is.
i recently started giving tarot readings and a good 80% of my clients ask about the development of their secret relationship with someone who is already married or in a long term relationship.
they even ask about multiple people at a time while being in a relationship themselves, and they cheat on the people they are cheating with if it makes sense. like they simultaneously hide something like 3 different relationships from all the 3 people they are dating.
it's honestly discouraging and annoying, i somewhat understand the motives of some of these people, but it's still a sad realization.
even the ones who are not cheating currently say they are unhappy in their marriages and want to meet a new love.
i'm witnessing the divorce rate statistic under my very eyes and it's hitting me harder than i'd imagine.

Since people say cheating is an act of opportunity, that probably means that it's something most people think about at least once even if they don't act on it. I read a quote somewhere that went "Men stay with a woman expecting her to stay the same. Women stay with a man expecting him to change." It's impossible to have both simulatenously, which would explain why alot of these relationships fail.

I've been repressing it for years, but with every minute that passes everything just lingers in the back of my mind, i will never be able to experience anything in the past ever again i will simultaneously always be the youngest and the oldest i've ever been and it breaks me. I have the biggest fear of growing up and it's really catching up to me, i can't get over it. I've started to find stuff from literally MONTHS ago, sometimes even fucking WEEKS nostalgic. It's to the point i can't consume media or listen to songs or scroll through my fucking gallery from a period of my life because i'll feel too nostalgic for it. It's like i try to rebuild myself every time so whatever i do won't remind me of my 'old' self or something. I want to go back to everything.

>>94679i'll avatarfag in my next few posts to indicate i'm tarot-chan and not confuse the people i'm answering to (and then i'll stop, i never did this before!)
this is true to an extent, but i think that it has more to do with their age range rather than their beliefs.
many people who ask me for readings are quite skeptical and i end up being a listener and a cheap low level psychologist rather than a tarot reader for them.
my clients are (mainly) boomer women and men who are unhappy with their life, and the solution to these people seem to be cheating, for reasons i have no idea about and would like to hear someone's thoughts on it.
i can see younger generations being more loyal, or more like, not getting into relationships when they're not really sure about the person and their own ability to sustain something serious, so they date around a lot, which is still not exactly monogamy but at least they're not being dishonest. this is how my younger clients behave. the younger ones are also less sex-obsessed and less likely to get interested in more than two people at a time, and many of them only really have one particular love interest even if they keep their options open. this surprised me too.
there are a couple of cheaters in this age range as well but way less.

yes!
there are different options and it all depends on your expectations and your goals and what you're comfy with.
you can try fiverr and similar sites where you can sell your readings to a small but loyal group of clients. you likely won't earn a lot but it's good extra pocket money, and it has the plus of not stressful to manage. it also doesn't require you to actually interact live with the client and no voice reveal.
sites like wengo and other psychic/tarot/etc ones are the option i went with. a bit harder to gain traction on than fiverr, and more stressful (not that much though), but worth it because you make much more money and quicker too. some of the people there live off this exclusively.
i'm still learninf the various tricks but one thing i understood is that you need to be there everyday at a fixed time, that's how you'll gain the most attention and kickstart your profile.
tarot reading channels are hard to manage and to gain attention on because of how many there are already. however, if you do manage to become popular, you can make a lot of money. i know someone who got rich this way (she also gives private readings on the side that she advertises through her channel).

>>94719lol i understand nona. polyamory is cringe as hell, but this whole thing made me realize that, while they still have their flaws, they're much better partners than so many people who opt for a "normie: love life and then go and cheat behind their partner's back, in such a serial way too.
i appreciate their self awareness and the courage to own up to their weaknesses (i see falling prey to polygamy, be it in cheating and even in thought, as a weakness).

crippling self image issues. i used to be a pretty normal weight and bmi, had to starve a lot to maintain this. i dont know shit about exercising and toning nor where to start. u could say i was skinnyfat. i gained 20 maybe even 30 pounds and now ive been overweight for a while and struggling to get back into better eating habits. anyways, been talking to this english guy for around six months now and im supposed to fly out this summer to meet him. problem is im a fat fuck. i know only i can fix this, must be a lack of self control or discipline or whatever. i have a treadmill in my home and such im just a lazy fat fuck who spends all my time rotting in bed or playing video games. no need for me to be eating more than 1200 cals a day but i still break it constantly. i used to be able to go days without eating. every girl hes been with has been some skinny stacey with a flat tummy and im terrified for him to see me. ive sent him well angled photos of my body, turned on cam sometimes for him. just absolutely wrecks me and i start to spiral. ive got maybe four months now to lose like thirty pounds. not much can make me cry but i start thinking about it and my eyes just well up. he is very sweet greatest guy ive ever had hes so cool and generous and lovely to me and has never made a negative comment about my appearance ever but all i can think about is undressinng in front of him and disgusting him. being a fat american in england and girls staring at me bc he could do better. ontop of that, they are all educated/in education, seem well off and cool and fun. im neet currently, cant make it thru a single semester of school and ive gone to a bar or club zero (0) times since ive turned legal. the last time i hung out with someone irl was like sept 2022. when i do leave my house, it is with my dad or brother. i hate being a fucking loser. i just want to be a cool hot girl. when i was a teen i would go out all the time, had tons of male attention and maintained a thinner figure like it was notjing. being 20 without a degree taking a break is fine. being 22 and being a fat fuck w nothing to my name makes me wanna off myself. sorry for the rant i understand im insufferable and annoying as fuck, thanks cc happy to get this off my chest.

having very few people in your life sucks at times, but it's the poison i picked.
having a social life requires going out and being emotionally available, which i respectively don't want to do regularly and i am not.
my willful isolation lead me to lose all my friends except an online one and my boyfriend (who is also online but we meet often by different countries standards).
right now none of them seem to be willing to talk with me, i know it's temporary but it makes me understand just how isolated from the world i am. one of the very few needs i feel socially, perhaps because of my obsessive internet use too, is (online) back ans forth at least once a day with someone.
on one hand i like being cut off out of the world because it's peaceful, and if i may armchair for a second i have some heavy schizoid tendencies, and i don't even like ~society~ and its games, but on the other i wonder if this will eventually bite me in the ass, just as it's happening right now because something as simple as having a convo turns almost impossible.
i already know it's a minus job-wise which is my biggest worry because i'm a workaholic and i love money with all the intensity i don't love existing in physical form.
it also does make me lose my shit sometimes that a lot of people get ahead in life simply by connections even when they don't deserve a specific position, but i can only hope my hard work in the field i chose can overcome the lack of sociality i have.

my boyfriend is acting weirdly and he won't tell me what's wrong.
i'm definitely a meltdown-type person who can get very aggressive when upset, but at least i explain exactly the reasons for my behavior and stop after getting it out of my system. he never had to guess or worry about what's on my mind because i tell it how it is, and i'm willing to discuss my issues with him.
but he will give me the silent treatment, act coldly and cryptic, and then pretend nothing happened and talk to me more or less normally, but with some aloofness still, or at least it's how i perceive it.
what do i even make of this? it makes me lose my mind and so i get clingy even if i dislike being like that, asking for reassurance and quality time together to make sure he's not cheating, planning to leave or who knows what else.
he does say i love yous and that he doesn't want to leave in these instances, and while i appreciate it, this makes go even crazier because i wonder if i'm being delusional and annoying seeing things that aren't there. but i can't help that he still sounds somewhat cold to me, because he will shortly after pull something else that will make me wonder.
my father is psychotic and i've struggled with mental health since i was a kid, i don't know if i should trust my perception and i'm scared of pushing him away by trusting my possibly wrong gut and acting like a textbook case of insecure attachment, and i say this as someone who hates armchairing.

My boyfriend is talking less and less with me. He will ignore me for hours and only really engage in communication when it's late and I'm tired and almost ready to sleep, so we're barely texting.
This is very important because we're long distance and all we have currently is chatting.
I miss him all day and wonder what he's up to, and I know he doesn't have actual excuses to not text, so it's just his own decision to simply not spend time together.
It hurts me but I'm starting to get past that phase and I'm more so annoyed now, I'll honestly be looking for other people to chat with because I feel lonely and bored through the day when there's nothing to do at work and he isn't giving me any attention. I don't plan on cheating at all, but I almost hope to fall in love with someone else this way and break up with him if it happens, because the way he is acting is so unfair.

I'm trying to be more empathic to people who have "bad" impulses. I don't have any idealistic view of the world or think everyone should think this way, it's more for the sake of my own sanity. I just want to "let go", because the truth is, no one can do anything about what other people feel. But there's still this one caveat in my mind. I wish a certain type of person would just take themselves out.
If you have something in your brain that makes you want to hurt innocent people or animals, and you feel like you just "can't help" acting on it (or you're such an extreme masochist that you go out of your way to pay sadists or poor people to harm others so you can live vicariously through the victims - people like this exist), why not just fucking rope? Why should we all have to suffer for your sake? At that point, your continued existence isn't just neutral, you are causing harm to those within your reach. Or get a fucking lobotomy, arrange to have your hands and legs cut off, something. How can we live in a "good" world if someone has the right to hurt another living being just because they feel like it? What fucking defense is there for that? Why are there people who think every fantasy should be enacted in reality?

Mens right/MGTOW people really get under my skin. I can understand where they are coming from at times. Yeah the dating scene is messed up, Family court is rough on them, and blah blah blah, but when its time for them look at their own hypocrisies, NOTHING. They love to complain about women not being traditional anymore when NONE OF THEM ARE TRADITIONAL MEN!!! I go to church every Sunday because I'm religious, but its only single women and families. Weird huh? "Women are so fat and ugly today" Like there isn't fat men now either? I get its hard to have a six-pack, but when the average guy is overweight, maybe I'm settling a little bit too. "Women are vapid today" like most men don't spend half the day on youtube stealing their personality from "moid icon of the week". They love to talk about how "people" are trying to ruin society and act as if men are the only ones who suffer from it. As if women aren't equally effected by all the changes in the west too. I wish I could just see eye to eye with these kinds of people because they have some points, many of which are very important, but they are such whinny self pitying losers. I would be willing to admit women have made mistakes as a group I guess, but at the very least try to point out the failures of the moids too which are at least just as bad and probably worse.

When women joined the work force, the average pay of the worker was cut in half leading to both parents needing to work. Why didn't men do anything about it? Women didn't own all the business, men did. Its stuff like that they blame us for when they were the ones who should have done something about it. but its like this with everything. Isn't it the traditionally role of men to fight for a better future, not bitch about stuff on social media and do nothing? Even by there own logic they are defeatist losers. They gave up and nothing is a bigger turn off in my opinion. If they were going to be blatant sexists, they could at least be optimistic and productive.

My friend just told me yesterday that I had been using her as an emotional crutch for the last few months and that she wanted us to go back to "hanging out" like we usually do. I didn't realize that's how she felt and I feel awful. My mental health has been real shit the last few months so that's probably why I unintentionally made her feel that way. Literally every week was total shit for me so it was hard to have anything else to talk about. I recognize my mistake and in the future I'm going to be careful about not just venting to her whenever we hang out, but I still feel really sad. My mental health was the worst its ever been and she was the only person I could talk to about that. She said she felt she wasn't able to give me the kind of emotional support I was looking for at the time and that it put a lot of pressure on her. I really do feel bad about that and I won't do it again, but then… who am I supposed to talk to about these things? I guess I do have other friends who I'm not as close with who I could try talking to, but what if I end up doing the same thing to them that I did to her? What if they also feel that they can't help me and just end up feeling bad?

I started a job working with special needs children. Some have higher needs than others but basically regardless of that, there's a reason they're here. I occasionally talk to my troon ex, not really because I want to but because I'm a pushover and he's apart of a friend group I see once in awhile. He is one of those people who might be on the spectrum of neurodivergence but is still clearly higher functioning and thus the expectations are different for him as a human overall. I told him about my job and he straight up admitted to being jealous and wishing he had that kind of support growing up.
Yeah, I get it. If you have the tism and you're stuck with a bunch of horrible adults who don't understand how to accept your little quirks or work with them it's difficult. However, like I said, these are kids who are here for a reason…most of them are not going to enter the workforce, most are going to group homes or will need a lifetime of support from family or paid caregivers. These kids NEED the support and grace that we give here; there's no other way. I just was so pissed and annoyed that he would say something like that because although I don't doubt that he had issues in school growing up or socially or in the workplace, he is clearly quite high functioning. As I said…for someone like him, the expectations are just different. There are ways for him to adapt and cope.
I think also hearing him say shit like this just bums me out in terms of like…how selfish he really seems to become especially after coming out as a troon. Something about him admitting to being jealous of children who suck on chewies for sensory stimulation because they have brain damage from encephalitis after birth or kids who are gestalt language processors and will struggle to communicate in a 'normal' way like you or I just pissed me off. I hope I find the courage to just cut him off some day.

That neighbor's wife broke into one of this charity's previous group homes, performed an illegal search (likely for drugs or possibly evidence of pornography) in which she took photos and posted them on a neighborhood private discord server, in which she mocked the disabled adults living in that home–a young woman who could barely move was singled out for "hissing" at her during this unlawful intrusion–and commenting on how they didn't have "security" to keep "these creatures" under lock and key. The charity decided to rescind their offer in order to try to avoid creating the sort of horrible scene that loses donors and destroys community support. I'll not describe anything in any further meaningful details because my mother's realtor is still, currently, pursuing legal suit against some of the individuals involved, and the brandishment charge/other criminal charges may still be acted on, and I do not know or understand what impact posting receipts in a public place could have.
Your ex assuming that the system is giving these kids a good life is one of the least terrible ways people will react to your charges when they graduate. I'm sure he's a terrible person in many, many ways and he does deserve scorn for making such ignorant assumptions and then filling them with the magical anime childhood he wishes he had. But my neurotypical, financially secure, socially normal neighbors, including the neighborhood wives, have done so much worse with so much less excuse and to so much applause that I would legit preferred to have lived next to the goddamned troon.

>>94961wow, how much of an irredeemable piece of shit do you have to be to brandish a firearm and tresspass to stop a CHARITY that helps vulnerable people.
It is stuff like this that just depresses me.

>>94961that's sounds like a terrible ordeal anon, I am sorry your parents are going through that and I am so sorry for those adults who had to experience an intrusion in their home like that. I understand where you're coming from.
that said, I think maybe my point was lost in my rambling. He did not gush about the support my students get or expressed happiness about the work the school does for them; he straight up said he was jealous. I personally find it a little odd to learn about the support some high needs disabled children are getting in their schooling, immediately think about yourself as a high functioning autistic man who is doing well enough to be making 75k USD in a computer programming job and have the thought "I'm jealous no one supported me like that". It just comes across as tone deaf and like a typical selfish man. As I said, of course I'm sure he would've thrived better in school if he had better support. But these children will not be able to find a way to make it through life the way he did. He is lamenting over not having the support but even though these kids have a ton of support they will never reach the level of functional adult life he has reached. It's like comparing apples to oranges to me and it pissed me off because it felt like he either didn't understand or is too selfish enough to realize his experience is not the same as these childrens.

>>94959nta but I hear what you're saying. It sounds like that crabs in a bucket mentality where instead of someone being happy that other kids are receiving goods and privileges that they weren't able to receive growing up that they feel resentful instead. I can hear how that could rub you the wrong way. It does sound like a selfish mentality to hear that you're doing something good for the community and instead of him being happy that you're doing something to make a difference (and happy for those kids who are receiving support) that he's focusing more on himself and what he didn't receive instead.

I think it’s time to take a little break. It might be time to live life on autopilot for a little while. It seems like no matter how hard I try, nothing seems to change. And if nothing seems to change anyway, why try? I’m tired of having hope that things could get better for me. It might be easier to just give up and let it go.

Seeing normie people's study abroad videos where they're going everywhere in large friend groups, doing sports, dancing/singing, taking silly photos with friends, etc. makes me scared I'll ruin my study abroad experience from the get-go. I don't do any of those things. Especially not the friends thing, because I'm a terminal loner and social autist. Furthermore, I'm going to a country (Japan) where that may stick out even more. I have some things planned to do in this country that I really want to, even if alone, but I end up being a loner no matter where I go so I feel like that really limits my options of what I can do. Things like going to theme parks or restaurants - Don't want to be caught dead doing that alone. Fuck it, maybe I'll just rent a boyfriend and drink my liver away with one. I'm so self-destructive I would manage to ruin even a once in a lifetime opportunity that I'm sure alot of people would be envious of.

>>95030If you're foreign-looking a lot of students will flock to you. Take advantage of that and you can easily make friends, even if they are just surface-level friends.

>>95030>Things like going to theme parks or restaurants>don’t wanna be caught dead doing that aloneI’ve been going to restaurants alone since 2019, this year i went to a theme park by myself. I don’t think it’s particularly embarrassing or anything. I genuinely preferred It over every friend i’ve ever gone out with. Although i can see why many would think so.

>>95042If they're only surface-level, then I think I'd rather not have them. I hate things like small talk but also friends you can't talk about anything else but XYZ with, because after awhile I realize I have deep thoughts and troubles I need to share with someone that will actually respond to them in more than a cookie-cutter NPC, "Thoughts and prayers" way. Supposedly, Japan is a country with a bunch of NPCs so that would probably happen anyway but the fact that normies manage to "live it up" studying abroad even there makes me think they all just have some superhuman ability I could never get at this point.
>>95044Wow, props to you. I get morbidly embarrassed even at the thought of going places like that alone. I'm not confident enough to get away with it. I tried going to some Asian festivals by myself a couple of times. First one I went to, I walked around in circles and pretended to be on my phone just to make myself look like I was waiting for someone. I freaked out after seeing myself be pretty much the only person there that wasn't in a group. After that, I had tried going to a Korean festival by myself but saw people looking at me strangely and then two girls laughing at me and immeadietly freaked out and left. I'm the equivalent of socially awkward 4chan moid picrel and I hate it.

>>95030Something like that happened to me when I visited to study. Was there for 6 months. Didn't help that I messed up my dorm papers and got the one with the smallest number of foreign students, away from everyone else. The girl from my year that I went with also turned out to be a massive cunt (((genderless))) and I got into a huge fight with her about a year later.
But still, being in a foreign country where no one knows you makes it a bit easier to do things that you normally wouldn't. Whatever you manage to mess up, you won't need to have absolutely any contact with the people involved ever again, so take solace in that. Hell, you could try doing an offline meetup with someone, ain't a shortage of autists over there.
Do your best and leave no room for regrets.

>>94751If it's any consolation im in the same situation although I'm not overweight but I've gained noticeably and I look way worse than in the pictures I've shown to him. It really sucks and makes me unable to open up to him and commit as much as I'd like to. I just know that I have to lose the weight first I simply can't let anyone see me at this state.
I really like him but I'm at the same accepting the fact that this was not a good timing and I need to focus on taking care myself and getting my self-esteem back by losing the weight before committing to dating. If he's still around when I'm better, that's good, if not then it's also fine cause I don't fear being alone anymore and I can always hold on to the hope that the right one will be out there.
I wish the best of luck to you nona, to everything. For your weight loss and love life. Just want you to know that no matter what it's all going to be ok.

I was telling my dad about how a dentist fucked up my teeth after coming home and was unprofessional (she turned on music while working on me and worked on the wrong tooth, it was fine but she broke it down and filled it and was extremely rude) and he decided to sue and slander her and get her fired by going there. She turned out to be unqualified and she was a scammer which is weird cause i went to that center for years but they ended up hiring someone like this. Anyway, i feel horrible. We both thought she’d just get her pay deducted not all of this mess…

A guy hugged me from behind and kissed me on the top of my head because he mistook me for his girlfriend. I realised I've never been held or touched with that much affection and love by anyone ever before and it's driving me to despair.

>torrented all of college books

>all of my classes end up needing me to pay for ebooks and access codes for a third-party site to do actual work and exams
>have to pay $500 out of pocket just to use access codes
>don't know if buying cheaper ebook options outside of the actual website itself will even give me a viable access code
fucking why is this a thing. JUST USE CANVAS TO UPLOAD THE ASSIGNMENTS TO. i'm just starting college again and i have to do many more classes after this, so who knows how many times i'll encounter this. i don't even know if this degree is worth it to be entirely honest.

My face looks so fucking weird. It's like I've gone through puberty 2.0. I've lost some weight (like 4 kilos it's not dramatic but im half a midget anyway) and now my jawline looks sharp (from the front), kinda like Timothee chalamet in his emaciated rat phase.
Fuck, I've always had a pretty-ish face even if i was insecure in my body. But now my face looks so weird. I don't recognize myself anymore. On the other hand, I know if I continue down this rabbit hole the natural conclusion will be "i should get botox/filler" and i don't wanna look bogged by 27. No thank you.

>But still, being in a foreign country where no one knows you makes it a bit easier to do things that you normally wouldn't. That's true. I'm just a prisoner of my own mind so I just wouldn't be surprised if I still fuck it up. Learning to gaijin smash would be a very valuable skill otherwise, I'm sure.
>Hell, you could try doing an offline meetup with someone, ain't a shortage of autists over there.There is this Japanese guy I know but I am so bad at texting back these days I'm surprised he even still wants to talk to me. He'll be married with kids, by the time I get myself to message him properly. (If he isn't already. oop-) I also know at least two other foreigners, one from my Japanese club on campus and another that a friend connected me with, that left for Japan. We will probably be in completely different prefectures but I've noticed Japanese expat community seems pretty open to offline meetups so it might work.
