Life is all a myth, interaction with any other human muddles the perception of reality. We are slowly killing this planet and this planet is killing us. It has every right to. There is no such thing as happiness, love, loyalty, soulmates, or anything like that. People that have the delusions of these feelings are the lucky ones. Movies, TV, media in general fuel these horrible misconceptions and ruin any chance of healing society. Why should I feel bad for not liking myself or my life? Yeah, I’ve had some shitty experiences that no young person should ever have to go through so what. A lot of people have. Yeah, it may have shaped some of the experiences later in life, happens to everyone. So why, through all of that, can I not just be content to be having experiences every day? I sabotage everything and then wonder why I cut myself and think I’m invisible and want to crawl in a dark hole and sleep forever. Such is life, huh?

Hi.
Media is a succubus. It gets children to believe in unicorns just to suck their souls when they see reality.
Sorry your life has been sh*tty.
Sending a hug and hoping that eases some pain.
Yes, media also let’s you grow up thinking if your life isn’t a movie than it must surely suck because you can’t create what they show you should be your life. Hence the reason I don’t have tv, but my time waster is no better just a couple of video games to pass the time.
I wish my parents warned me that most people are evil, they’ll let you down, they’ll stab you in the back, they’re fake friends, they’re users, liars, etc. Then I would’ve been better prepared for the scummy people I had to deal with and I would’ve had the intelligence to avoid them altogether.
You’re right, the media/movies, etc also feed us this lie of a perfect life and wonderful people, etc. You have to remember they’re all a money-making racket. They paint a fictional world so people will watch their movies/shows etc and that’s how they get rich.
Reality is nothing like that. Don’t get me wrong not all people are evil or out to get you. Some are wonderful but you have to pick and choose wisely. I used to regret not knowing better/for being so naive.
At the same time I’m very glad I didn’t-otherwise I would’ve hooked up with a girl, had kids and we’d be trapped in our situation, which I’d later regret. As I got older I realized I never really wanted a family life, I like my freedom and having no obligations to anyone. If I ever make a lot of money then I might be open to it but not in my current situation.
I completely understand what you mean, I am in a relationship but there is no talk of marriage. There is also no love, passion, or deep connection. It’s kind of like that song…
We’re not lovers, we’re just strangers
With the same damn hunger
To be touched, to be loved, to feel anything at all
I have 2 living children. Not with someone I love, but someone I tolerated for years while working far too many hours (almost lost older child due to 80hr work weeks).
Life is, I think, just tolerating BS until you have exceeded a palatable level.
Don’t get me wrong, my children are my reason to breathe, and fight, but I do miss having time alone in silence.
