“Discoveries so disturbing scientists stopped studying them”:
Who else is all alone here? By that I mean you don’t have a significant other, you don’t have family that cares about you, and you don’t have real genuine friends.
I feel all alone in this world. It’s literally “Me Against The World.”
Whelps, there’s no water currently where I’m at. Toilet doesn’t work either. Yet another reason to hate this place.
Update- so water is back. Thankfully it didn’t last that long this time. I’ve had my water, toilet, and shower be out for days to over a week.
What does one do at that point? I see no joy in living. The bacterial infection from 2.5 years ago has destroyed my legs (as well as other body parts) and I was already disabled to begin with. But at least I was more mobile before. I was sick and disabled but not THIS sick and this disabled. I can still walk but my legs are not in great condition. I can’t walk very well. Hell, I have trouble even bending my legs.
There is no time machine for me to go back and never have come here to thus state, to this shitty […]
I came across this video last week. What he says is very true:
“Everyone WANTS friends, but no one wants to BE a friend.”
Friendship Isn’t Fun Anymore… It’s Exhausting:
What do you do?
I feel like there isn’t anything that actually helps. I’m sure there’s some good therapists somewhere. But good luck finding the 5% that’s actually helpful. No suicide line or warm line or hospital or mental health clinic does any jack all good. Neither do pills as all they do is numb you to your pain and shitty life.
No friends want to hear you or listen to you. “Friends” are only friends when they want something FROM you. But no one wants to BE a good friend.
I don’t drink, smoke, do drugs, weed. Nor do I want to start. But […]
And this is why I have never attempted.
*If you are squeamish, do NOT watch this video*
*Video From Inside Edition:
There was also this lady IRL who I’d see all the time taking the same bus I do in downtown where I used to live. Her face was all blown off too. She had aimed the barrel into her mouth. She apparently attempted and survived, and now her face, and i’m assuming her throat, trachea, mouth etc all messed up.
I’ve known many people who have attempted. All of them lived. The ONLY person that succeeded was a friend of […]
What words would you use to describe life?
Miserable? Or wonderous?
Out of reach or full of possibilities?
Unfair and unjust? Or is it fair enough?
Cruel or “it’s just the way it is”?
Do you fight it or just accept it?
What other words would you use?
Do you feel alone in this world?
Misunderstood?
Uncared for?
An outcast?
Have you ever considered that nature selects psychopaths? That “survival of the fittest” leads to the perpetuation of psychopathic genes? Humans or animals or plants who are the most ruthless tend to survive. “Nice“ animals do not survive but the most ruthless and selfish do. The same applies for humans.
Hence Why so many humans are so selfish and greedy and ruthless. Nature selects for those attributes. Just take a look at those two video clips below. There’s many more like it but life in the animal world is brutal. Seems like nature selects for the biggest assholes.
Two Random But Poignant Nature Clips I […]
What would you do?
(aside from self-suicide. and if you had god-like powers, would you even want suicide?)
(let’s say you can only do 3 things, rather than unlimited things for all eternity)
What do you do when you’re at your max of what you can handle? When you are back against the corner? When everything in your life is broken in every way. There is nothing to be happy about or be “joyful” or “grateful” for. There is nothing good in my life. I am pretty much living purely out of spite.
I don’t know who to talk to (therapists and suicide lines have been shit). No “friend” cares or wants to listen.
I don’t know where to go (live)- money/cost of living issues
I don’t know what to do- how to […]
Me, I watch
-True Crime,
-Stupid ways people died,
-Death by Stupid Pranks,
-Documentaries (these tend to be depressing as well bc IRL is depressing)-
you know, “cheery” holiday shows.
for depressed people to look forward to?
Me- I personally wouldn’t mind if a plasma burst erupted from the sun and vaporized us all. In fact, I welcome it.
I don’t find this world worth living in, especially not when you’re poor or disabled or have shit family. What is there too look forward to when your life is broken, and society is broken?
@dying2die- hey, thought you’d be interested in this. came up on my feed just now, though I guess it’s been in the news the last few days. funny how all these scientists who discover free energy, cars that run on water, or dr’s who discovered how to kill cancer- funny how they all end up dead/murdered/shot/”suicided”
Holidays are only for people with actual family that are good and loving to them. For the rest of us, it’s bah humbug! -_-
Chime here if you don’t have family or have a bad family.
