hey, at least you got a wife, twice. Clearly it’s not so bad for you, or you would never have been married. And not only did you manage that once, but twice!
I’m so sorry for all you are going through. Can you explain why you feel the need to compare your hardship with others? Does it help you feel better? I realize I sound sarcastic, but I don’t mean to. I’m just wondering if you find comfort in feeling you have it worse than most suicidal people. I’m happy to share my story as to why I think I have it so bad, but something tells me that is not what you are looking for. And that is okay. Only you are able to completely feel the depths of despair you feel right now. We cannot quantify others pain, only our own. Sounds like yours is bad. I see you are lashing out a bit and saying “you don’t understand What real suffering is and you should be grateful”. It’s okay to feel like that. I feel like that too. I wish you peace in the end, or a spectacular life, filled with people who love you and desire the best for you.
part of it comes down to: “if i could access what so many (if not most) others take for granted, i would be relatively content.”
And then you’ve got people claiming to be “suicidal” just because they’re “afraid to live.” LIVING is the good part. But UNABLE to Live, is depressing.
Fear can be conquered pretty easily in most cases; all it takes is deciding you don’t want fear to stop you from doing what you want to do, and then confronting whatever you’re afraid of. Either you win or you don’t.
Clevername sounds like an asshole
I think you are watching people. Maybe good people.. But good people could never be watching this. How do to justify sociopath? And so. You. Feel pretend “good”
lol… wtf?
What language are you speaking?
I’m not sure if i can interpret anything useful from that gibberish, but i think you asked “how do you justify being a sociopath?”
1) i’m not, so i’m not sure why you’re even mentioning that
2) if i were, i would not have to justify myself to you or anyone
3) i’m not sure who you’re talking to, or how sociopathy has anything to do with this thread.
Also:
Um, yes, almost everyone “watches people.” Look around. See those people? This is you watching them.
I fail to see how “watching people” is bad.
“I’m watching you…”
FinallyTiredEnough, explain exactly how Mr.Celevername is exactly an asshole?
usually it’s because bad things happened in my life, because people didn’t value me enough to refrain from causing me problems, which caused me problems, which then made me upset and hurt in many ways for a very long time, which resulted in me being bitter.
Plus, i tell people when i think they’re wrong. I define this as a good thing, despite the fact that many reject it, or react defensively, even overreact sometimes.
tl;dr: i’m an unhappy person who tells people when they’re wrong.
Happy people are happy because things have gone well enough for them that they are able to enjoy what they appreciate, without too much of the bad stuff being in the way. Everyone seems to like those people, but not the people like me, for whom things have gone so wrong, in so many ways, to prevent me from being able to enjoy much of anything at all, despite my higher awareness and deeper appreciation of almost all things that can be perceived or experienced.
I don’t have the qualities or circumstances people like, so they treat me poorly, so i don’t always feel like being arbitrarily nice, or even fair. But it doesn’t even matter, really, because i’m not stopping anyone from anything they want. And yet, i’m the asshole? lol…
I’m one of the most fair, honest, reasonable, tolerant, accepting and forgiving people in the entire world. I’m not the best or the most of anything, but comparatively speaking, i’m pretty fucking far from being an “asshole.” I just can’t do the asshole character. It’s just not in my nature. Believe me, i’ve tried.
But just like anyone else, sometimes i get overwhelmed by frustration, and i might not be so pleasant to be around or interact with.
So what. Everyone has their moments. Mine are rarely anything to be concerned about.
I do not think nor believe your an asshole on the contrary.
However your valid on the point, that most people will react with hostility and rejection when proven wrong. Why? It seems most people do not want to be told they are wrong, even when seeking an answer they know might not be within their liking.
Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems your past experiences with people have influenced you to be a rather blunt and straight to the point kind of Individual. No fluff and sugar coating. But see many people prefer the fluff and sugar coating, and since you do not hand out fluffy hugs and sweet popsicles with each dose of reality they consider you an asshole.
Unfair? Completely.
But people like you are the most rational and are, more or less, in tune and relevant with reality.
You are fair, honest, reasonable, tolerant, accepting and forgiving. You will have times of frustration and feel overwhelmed, and might not be the most pleasant to interact during these moments, but who says you should? You are only human.
I think you are a very misunderstood person who has had many, in this world, pass judgement on you with out been given the chance to show the great person you are.
thanks koji. I think you pretty much get it.
