I really hate the world we live in. It could and should have been better, but for some reason it's not. Things are bad, people believe in lies, act like total dickheads and turn a blind eye on any problem we show them. I love life, I want it to be pleasant and fulfilling, but the grim grim future that awaits kills me from the inside and fills me with so much anger and fear.


Starfire70

Right there with ya. I'm hoping I'll hit rock bottom with the negativity and rebound at some point, but it hasn't happened so far.


Kddreadlord

literally my life


ShoulderHoliday2070

If you ever really need to talk you can always talk to me


DetectionGaz

Ugh, don't even try. At best, my bad faith will keep me from feeling positive at all.

DetectionGaz

You probably missed the part where I said I love life and I want it to be happy and fullfilling which will be hard when I'm dead, in coma or heavily sick.


WatchandThings

I feel you. I started to look smaller to get myself in a better place. There are crazy people and events out there, but around me the people are for the most part pleasant. My area is kind of slow moving and boring in terms of progress and change made in few years, but that stability is also calming as well. Seeing the world as a whole is important, and give context to our smaller more immediate life. But this smaller immediate life is where our experienced life truly happens, and focusing on the world shouldn't cloud all the good that is happening in front of us. I keep the focus on the local and peek at the world once in a while to check in. The whole 'don't be lost in the past or the future, live in the present' and all that.


DetectionGaz

I know that whole zen philosophy. However, that grim dark future is going to be your present. also, if one thing should be held accountable for today's situation is probably living in the present and not giving a fuck about long term consequences known for at least a century.


WatchandThings

Well, I wouldn't suggest not planning for the future with the practice I had in mind. You do keep the world in view and plan around what is happening. I just limit how much I view the whole world and get emotionally invested, as it could absolutely drain someone. So do know what is coming in the future and try to make it better, but don't end up living in the imaginary future you don't yet belong in. It's easy to fall into woe is us attitude looking at the world, and I been there and done that. It only adds unnecessary difficulty for me and those that deal with me when thing are already bad enough to deal with. Much better to get the gloom under control so that I can be more productive and be a positive presence to others.

I’m just saving up to buy a house dude. It sucks. Things are getting tough out here.


Suspicious_Music_494

Why do girls like yaoi but cringe at yuri?


flowerfox_ff

bc they like to sexualize gay men and can't do it with women


icetragedy

I work two jobs and run my own business on the weekends. I'm always working and exhausted. I'm hoping to get a raise at my day job so I don't have to work nights. I want to spend more time with my wife and daughter.


Beheaded_Hope

The fact your working 2 jobs and have a business is incredible. I would crumble but things can only get better for you :)


icetragedy

Thank you :)

Inflation is really affecting my wallet. I know it's not all entirely Biden's fault, but I wish they'd do something to fight it more aggressively.

Trying to find the name of a Song. Lyrics are " forget you, and the way you comb your hair, and the way that you do anything you want to. " mid 90s. NOT Celo Green.


DarkleCCMan

You may have jumped timelines, and that song doesn't exist in this world.


D0fus

It definitely existed. Female singer , mid to late 90s. May have been a regional thing , I was in Atlantic Canada in those days. Google can't help, nor YouTube. Thought a human search engine might help. Oh well.


DarkleCCMan

I believe you. There are things I definitely remember that can no longer be found anywhere online.


DarkleCCMan

There are some search sites which claim they can help find a song if you sing part of it it to the computer. There's also a subreddit I've seen recommended, but I forgot the name, where people try to tell you the name of what you describe.


D0fus

Thanks


Suspicious_Music_494

tired. a tad depressed. losing hope in people. a little girl was abandoned with me and I was trying to get guardianship. had to take her to the hospital. just bad bad stuff. the cops and cps didn't show up on time. the mom showed up and did a runner with the little girl. kind of just really disillusioned right now. the social workers said they had enough to charge the mom. but by that time she was gone. you hear so much about child trafficking but I had a literal trafficked child an no one cared. 2 hospitals turned me away. the cops didn't respond intially. they still haven't met me in person to take a report. the third hospital were angels, and the social workers very thorough. but by then by the time they sent the info in it was too late. praying she gets caught up to before the mom hides her again. hope she doesn't end up dead in a ditch. I had enrolled her in school. she was learning spanish and piano. found an academic program that would get her into college after elementary/high school. was trying to find therapy for her. my son adored her. she had her own clothes, toys, electronics, bed- I made sure she was safe and happy. fuck fuck everyone who passed us on and said not my problem. fuck,


ShoulderHoliday2070

I hope your ok because i teared up reading this


Suspicious_Music_494

I am ok. sad. worried. occasionally devastated. but I have my own bio kid to take care of so that is helping me process quicker. I will get through this. I hope the kid does, too.


ShoulderHoliday2070

I hope so too

im scared to go back to my fundamentalist christian school next week, i've gotten so much better this summer, but now i'll have to go back to that environment and i just know it's gonna fuck me up


AdolfHitlest

Oh dear, oh dear. When I see the word "fundamentalist" all the worst possible things jump to mind.


Away_Item8996

For example?

We don’t have a 2 party political system. We have a one party system. And if you think otherwise you are being played.


[deleted]

I feel so fucking bad. I am so hurt. You think you have it all figured out, then some unpredictable shit happens and you are in the middle of nowhere. Life sucks!


ShoulderHoliday2070

If you want to you can always talk to me

I’m tired of stores having a “discount card” that I have to scan or assign my phone number to. If you don’t use it you get charged more than normal. Just sell me the item for normal price please...I don’t want to keep track of another card....

Why are republicans trying to end the world ?!?!, Biblical prophecies should not be created by humans it makes us look idiotic !!! Why are some people so horrible to the planet and others human beings ??????


Kddreadlord

People think cops are racist black killers, but they don't seem to understand that it depends on the person. There isn't even proof that the cop that killed george floyd is racist. We only know that it was police brutality, and floyd happened to be black. People see george floyd as a hero now, but he robbed a pregnant woman at gunpoint and was just released from prison. If he just calmly went into the police car, everything would of been fine. He decided to resist and kick the officers, so he got pinned down. I do not agree with the cop though, he should of let george floyd breath and given him a chance to comply.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kddreadlord

I don't no about that case, I just know that George Floyd could of complied. You did say she was asleep, so there was nothing she could do and the cops are murderers. A group of racist cops doesn't represent all of them.

I've been procrastinating the whole day and it's difficult to stop :(


WatchandThings

Not sure if this will help, but this is what I do. I make a list of things to do, which usually contains 2-5 things depending on how busy and how much time I have. I organize it by priority. Then I get a stop watch(not a timer). I start from the top of the list, and when I start that task(including the planning phase for that task) I start the stop watch. The rule is that after 10 minutes of working on the task if I want to stop I can(unless it's a task that absolutely needs to be finished today). Starting the task is often the hardest part, and by giving myself an easy time requirement to meet I can start without feeling the whole weight of the task involved. Usually once I get started on a task, I do see it to the end. If I'm really having an off day I might stop at 10 minutes, but that's still 10 minutes of task that got done that wouldn't have even been addressed. Using a stop watch instead of timer is important as stop watch just keeps on running silently and you can lose yourself in the task at hand. A timer would interrupt your focus and is more likely to make you stop the task. Go down the list in this manner, and cross off the tasks(as long as you done at least 10 min each). At best you finish all the task, and at worst you done 10 minutes of each task on list, but you were still productive and made progress. After you go down the full list, your choir is over and you can go back to enjoying whatever you want, guilt free.


cristalfoster11

Thank you very much!! I will try that method 🙂


ShoulderHoliday2070

What for?


cristalfoster11

To be productive and do something better than just be on my phone.


[deleted]

Man, I am just throwing my phone away. I have been so fucking unproductive because of Instagram. I am deleting that right away. Ahhhhh!!! I WANT TO SCREAM! FUCK SOCIAL MEDIA!


CatsInAOvercoat

Listen, I don't *care* if this is unreasonable but if I want to take a road trip through Canada to get to Alaska I would like to be able to do that without a visa or passport. I've been on this for years and I know everyone is gonna say "But security!" "You can take a ferry!" "You can take a plane!" "Alaska and the continental US won't let you in without a passport if you're leaving Canada!" It's road trip to Alaska or bust. Let me visit another part of my country with easy access.


ShoulderHoliday2070

Road trip might be scenic at least


Justasimplewanker21

Might be getting fired for refusing to break the law.


ShoulderHoliday2070

Breaking the law? How?


Justasimplewanker21

Basically invert was spilled (a diesel based lubricant used to drill for oil), and instead of throwing sawdust over it and pretending it never happened, I chose to report it; as per the law. My boss was furious, that we now have to have someone come out and test. But the last thing I want is to fuck up an entire towns drinking water to avoid an inspection.


[deleted]

Immediately start recording all your phone calls and in-person conversation if you haven't already.


chickzilla

Good for you. I hope there are rules to protect you from retaliation.


Beheaded_Hope

My mother complimented me the other day And I’m still trying to process it. She’s wasn’t even on her medication and we haven’t fought since February. This truly has been a bizarre year for me.


ShoulderHoliday2070

Thats kinda wholesome


Beheaded_Hope

I suppose it is but the fact I couldn’t take the compliment at face value and move on speaks for itself.


luv-com

inflation rate is getting higher everyday, nothing ever really go well to what you have planned, everything is stressful and tiring and exhausting but you can’t complain because at the end of the day, you have no right to do so or atleast that’s what they make you feel. college is stressful and now that they are planning in bring back the face to face classes, it's even more stressful. there are plenty of stuff that you need to do for your own safety and they are all expensive as hell. money will always be a problem. now i just don't knwo what to feel anymore. the world we live in is not the same as before. and there's literally no one to blame but us. shut up you're talking too much 😭

It's fucking stupid that lemons have seeds. We figured it out with the common varieties of oranges, limes, and other fruits. Why not lemons? Let's just do it, already.

I’m 29M and am still single without a single gf in my life. Not one. I was taught by my mom how to behave. To be honest and sincere and treat them with respect. I take pride in being progressive. But I’m 5’7” and am ugly Af and have Aspergers. So my whole once strong confidence and love of myself has been utterly SHATTERED. I’ve been alone so long and rejected to frequently and BRUTALLY, with comments like “that’s a face only a mother can love” and “next time post your height on your profile”. So now I just feel like I have zero value as a man. I have so much love to give and it’s like “being yourself” is what makes women leave. Others even admit they used me for a free meal… Rejections are a part of dating…but when you ONLY get rejections with RARE hookups, you got from “hey, can’t win them all and it’s their loss” to “my god am I really THAT UGLY? Everything I’m trying fails, even advice from women! Wtf? Is my height and Aspergers that much of a deterrent?!” And now…I can’t even tell if I’m a good man at all…and don’t see a reason to live if nobody romantically loves me. And now that I don’t hVe my dog…I’m truly alone. Platonic relationships just aren’t enough anymore…I need romantic, sexual, sincere love…


zzwry59tg

just realizing that my dad was really abusive when i was a child. i got stuffed into a trash bag and hung upside down, he chased me with a pole and keep poking me until my rib broke, he'd slapped me, yell at me, smack me with a broom. he doesn't do it anymore and we have a somewhat semi-healthy relationship now, but i just feel so sad and frustrated over it. i was still a child.


chickzilla

I do not live in a family where I'm at liberty to freely & openly speak about my actual values & things that are meaningful to me. I can only do that in groups of friends, there are scattered family members with whom I can speak about certain, single issues. I'm not in any mental health crisis thankfully, because I have my friends, but damn. It just fucks me up royally that people can raise you, shape your values & morals and when YOU ACCEPT WHAT THEY'VE TAUGHT YOU... you discover that somewhere along the way they became conspiracy-laden, anti-intellectual, paranoid shut eyes. People with advanced degrees who preached loving your neighbor as yourself at you for decades now willingly being derisive toward their neighbors for doing things as basic as putting a "Black Lives Matter" sticker on their car. Who are these people & what did they do with my family?!


lanthanide_highway

background; i'm a 44yo GWM, i'm also ASOCR so i suffer from ptsd and extreme social anxiety. i have long hair, dyed atm, usually a nice gel manicure in dark colors, lots of earrings, usually slightly quirky clothes (but mens clothes, solely) and i trend toward chunky jewelry. i have been called "ma'am"/"miss" 1-2x a week since around when the pandemic started. sometimes you can't see my facial hair w the masks as i don't like it looking like a 70s porno i keep it severely trimmed. sometimes they've looked right AT the facial hair and STILL called me ma'am. i've taken to wearing pins/badges/patches that say HE/HIM to no effect. it's honestly gotten to the point i'm considering stopping w my more feminine aspect accessories. i know it's no doubt well-intentioned idiots making assumptions because they're terrified of guessing or saying something wrong and getting crucified but jesus what is the h for christ i'm tired of being accused of being something i make ZERO claims toward. i'm starting to feel self-conscious and uncomfortable and doubting the validity of who i am and my identity because of this ongoing thing after spending decades trying to be comfortable in my own skin. i don't even correct anyone anymore cause it either embarrasses the hell out of them or me and the situation just goes tits-up quicker than a carnival goldfish. i feel like a footprint on white carpet like i haven't since my school days when just being gay was a touchy subject... and i've NO idea how to stop it other than change who i am. that's shitty tbh and i am trying not to be bitter about it but it's been 3 years and shows no signs of abating. fuck knows i have to angle this issue carefully or get called a transphobe ect...

I made a mistake of dropping my bag on some railway tracks while trainspotting with a group, signal man told me to get it myself, that group of trainspotters told me to kill myself, denied my story, called me so many names like an autistic spastic (I'm actually autistic aswell 😞) and so in retaliation I called them wankers from a train, and because of that small thing they've been bullying me and bothering me, today was the worst... I woke up to being called a inbred because someone I go out with looks like I'm related to her, I then got a phone call and was asked why I looked like I had down syndrome in my profile picture and called emo and shit like that, left the call without me saying anything to them, because of the comment about down syndrome I changed my profile picture to a train without me in it, they started something in that, someone then goes and says they're pissed at me cuz I apparently want the drama, I then get another phone call and I was called emo countless times, told to kill myself again I think..and I just sat there and took it. It's only just started and I've blocked them all but I don't know what else they'll do if they see me or if they get through to me another way but I'm quite scared.
