It's not really a choice when other people choose to reject and make dealing with them impossible, because they can.

Hey, I tried to see it from a normal's perspective and not get into the usual misogyny that lurks on the internet. Since OP probably isn't reading this don't have much else to add. I have enough problems with just being around someone at all and liking them. I would settle for that much. I'm...

I didn't really have a choice; it was either "try and fail every single time and make myself miserable in the process" or "don't try and save myself that particular agony". Besides, physically my body is wracked and totally unsuitable for *******. All I would find in that is venereal disease...

There is a harsh class bias in psychotherapy. If you're in a terrible social position like I am, the therapist automatically assumes that you deserve your poor station and actively sabotages you, based on their assumptions of where you belong. I would imagine there is a great deal of racism as...

I didn't have a choice to "get help" - it came to me, and it did a lot more to hurt me than anything else. There are always third parties involved in these things and they will not care one bit about your own interests. I also doubt that short of destroying yourself and being replaced with...

Never "loved" whatever that is supposed to mean. Most men just want to know that they're doing something that's worthwhile, or trick themselves into thinking they're doing something worthwhile; that they have a purpose to be there at all. It's not just about fulfilling a biological urge unless...

I eat out alone almost every time I do, since the only people I could bring with me are my mother and grandmother. I'm not the only one. It's not that big a deal. I can't say I've ever noticed anyone giving me dirty looks, unless I ate out at the wrong place... there are all sorts of informal...

Michigan is its own circle of Hell. How the state government continues to stand at all is a mystery.

Education is a ripoff. There's no point in even trying unless you are pre-screened for success, in which case any education is a formality. If you have to ask yourself what it was worth, you've already lost.

Most people are vile and evil at heart. This is not a new revelation, since most of the world's religions figured it out from the very start, and history has shown that humans are irredeemable. The only difference is by degrees. In a society where evil is encouraged and ignorance is strength...

That is what gets me though - when the system is obviously broken and people can see in front of them its failures, how can people look on it and feed the furnace? Not just a matter of passive ignorance, but actively choosing to do horrible things time and time again? I refuse to believe it is...

Goals? Bunch of bullshit... I've had the rug pulled out from under me too many times to have any faith in goals, or stability. I'm already barred from a life worthy of being called a life. Right now all I worry about is losing what little I do have left, because there are plenty of people who...

Many people - especially depressed people - want to see depression in everything people do, for some reason. I've been accused of depression but I know full well it's not that at all, just a cruddy life and me being a loser. I never got on board with the smartphone thing and all these apps kids...

The few real women on cybersex sites are ******* messed up. I don't think it should be used as a baseline for normal human interaction. Not that I can claim to be a paragon of sanity... I'm pretty sure I'm never going to satisfy my desires in such regard, but it's never been anything more than...

I dunno if what works for someone in a middle class job in America would work for a poor man in India.... or a poor man in America. I don't think I've learned any coping skills. All that has happened is that I've become older and lost all hope, hence the name. I don't hope for happiness, I...

*shrugs* I long since adapted to being alone - actually I don't recall a time when I was anything but isolated. It isn't like I had a choice, at least not a real choice. It's not the loneliness, but the reasons why I'm going to be alone for the rest of my life, and those things are never going...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_in_Nazi_Germany ...you didn't really think I'd write a post without some references to Nazis and their ilk, did you? So yeah, Hitler was also the Grinch.

I find this article to be quite illuminating. https://zcomm.org/znetarticle/everyday-eugenics-by-betsy-hartmann/ 13 seems to be a wretched year for many young men who get caught up in the vicious cycle you and I are familiar with. It certainly was the worst year of my life so far as my mood...

I can't understand what normals get from public intoxication. They sure don't need an excuse to act like ********, since they do so way too often. I can get alcoholism and drinking for muscle relaxant, but is the latter - perhaps the only really useful aspect of alcohol consumption - that...

Yes it is the place, because for those facing homelessness, poverty, and extreme social deprivation, it is unavoidable and must be the start of anyone's understanding of the problem. These are indeed bad times to be alive. I almost got caught up in a nightmare earlier this year because someone...
