I’m never sure I’m a ‘baby-boomer’ being only 73 and thinking of myself more a geriatric hippie. However, despite the warning that at the top of this forum titled "A Warning to all Members of this Board.” that more or less bans discussion of suicide, and for often very valid reasons, I want to...

What keeps me from getting my dream partner ? I did have two of them now both long gone from the planet. Now I’m too old and too ugly and not rich enough to attract anyone unless they’re as old and ugly as I am. Besides, the next time I have a **** it will probably induce a heart attack.

I have two dogs, a Labrador/Kelpie cross and a Smithfield/Australian Bulldog cross. I also have staying long term for a least a year while her owner is overseas, a Borzoi (Russian Wolfhound). The Labrador/Kelpie cross is frighteningly intelligent understanding language, even complex sentenses...

Fear of aging isn’t all that common in the very young. Many of us when young pretended we aren’t going to get old. Well here I am at 73 with all the usual annoyances of being an old fart. Failing short term memory, various body parts falling apart, a majority of my friends leaving the planet...

I’m dropping in late on this discussion but your comment on therapy jolted me into butting in. Therapy covers a multitude of sins and benefits. To generalise that all therapy is not worth the effort is too wide a claim. Granted it can be a very risky, and at times dangerous process trying to...

Ah Sukkot ! I grew up in the only Yok familiy in a street full of wealthy Jewish families. Their idea of Sukkot was to have a special ’tent’ built onto the roof of their houses, often over a back porch overlooking the ocean. These edifices were luxurious beyond belief, many with air...

YUK !  Since before I could walk I’ve had an aversion for yellow. Small bits I can tolerate but if, for instance, I find myself in a room with bright yellow walls I feel sick! As a young thing I had nightmares where everything was yellow, even sounds were yellow. I have no idea where this came...

May I suggest you examine the last 200 or so years of biblical studies commencing with Bishop John Shelby Spong’s ‘The Sins of Scripture: Esposing the Bibles Texts of Hate to Reveal the God of Love’ Then meditate (out of context if you must) upon 2nd Thessalonians Ch2,V1.

At least people talk with you. I can’t even get that? It’s possible you’re giving out an unconscious signal of not wanting others to look at you which they interpret as ‘Don’t talk to me’.

Is there anyone you know and trust? Maybe you could try staying a weekend with someone you know just to see if the feeling goes away or becomes worse. My suspicion is there’s something deeper going on beyond simply not wanting not to be on your own.

Unless you’re colour blind at 73 you’d have figured out a yellow bike and yellow outfit aren’t going to attract anyone with decent taste in men. Anyhow, at 73 an English racing green BMW tourer is the way to go. . . . . .or an English racing green Honda CTX1300 or Triumph Tiger 1200 XC or...

A google search under misanthropy forum bought me here so maybe I’m posting in the wrong place? I have a decent enough social life yet my view of human kind is very, very dark. Possibly reading Arthur Koestler’s ‘The Ghost in the Machine’ many decades ago as a teenager has a lot to do with it. I...
