I have been a bystander in my own life for far too long. I have only ever had one true friend, halfway across the country. Everyone else either acts nice or I make them uncomfortable, I could never have an actual conversation with any of them. I’m not revolting in appearance, I’ve consistently gotten compliments from other men, but I seem to not have had much luck in getting to know anybody, let alone go on a single date.

Nobody is interested in getting to know me. I just don’t get it. I put in effort and never get anything substantial or meaningful out of it. It’s so bad I don’t even really understand how people live differently. I’m just going to have to come to terms with being alone forever.

If I knew you in person I’d probably be interested in getting to know you. I just say whatever insane thing comes to my mind, assuming it’s appropriate, and that always intrigues people. Try that and people will talk to you.

Just stopping by to vent on how much I hate all people. There’re about fifteen or twenty people that are okay but everyone else can go to hell.

Sorry, not making fun at all, just reminded me of one of my favorite Futurama lines.

I had my first counseling session on Tuesday. It was pretty awful. I thawed out 47 years of suppressed weird misery. After a few minutes I had to stop looking at the counsellor because she was out of her depth. I don’t think she’d heard anything quite like it. And if I started to moderate my story to what her body language was saying I’d never get it out. The poor woman her hands were shaking as she took my money. And there I was. On the street with several tonnes of emotional permafrost melted and I had to get bus home and get more drunken abuse. But it did cure my tics for about 36hours. They then came back with gusto when I had my clandestine meeting with a domestic abuse prevention chap. I may get some assistance getting me the hell out of here. Got a new tic. I got to the location of the meeting earlier than I anticipated so I walked around the supermarket because it was the only thing open. There were these Batman toys on display. As I left the building I let out a yelp of " yay Batman!" I wish I could do it again. My partner is drunk downstairs and has spent much of the day texting me demanding my door key. I hate going home. I spend much of my time at work stressing about going home. Now have a weekend and everyone is telling me to have a good one. I will get through this but I really need a run of good luck and happiness because there hasn’t been much for a very long time. Sadly I don’t think the universe operates on a balanced tally system. I’m doing another couple of sessions before Christmas and after Christmas is when I blow the whistle on 16 years of mostly misery. God only knows how that will turn out. Not feeling very festive. I changed my Twitter name to Umjinglwings which is about as Christmassy as I can cope with at the moment.

God, I don’t know what to say. It is out of my depth as well.

I’m opposed to murder but his sentiment is fair.

I’m not going to say I’ve never been party to misanthropic thoughts, but I think it’s a tad ungenerous to state that out of seven billion humans on the face of the Earth, only twenty of them are decent people – especially when you don’t know most of them.

I don’t wish them any ill will I just don’t like them.

I’m not being hypocritical either. I rank myself among the 6,999,999,980.

Same. Glad you’re starting down the path toward fixing your situation.

Good luck Bingo.

I feel like I could drop dead tomorrow and nobody’d notice for at least a month.

I’d notice way before a month. You post every day and my days are better because of it.

I’d also like to wish Bingo good luck.

Thanks for the kind words. Got a case of the Morbs at the moment but nothing too serious.

I’m one of the most positive and laid back people I know. I’m never openly depressed, and my friends and acquaintances all find me a chill guy, but ever since my parents split, and quite a bit before that too, my home life has generally been pretty shitty. This sounds absolutely shallow and lame compared to some people’s problems, in this very thread even, but these days I’m finding it hard to keep my chin up and stay happy, since both of my parents lives are so shitty, and they are both so depressed at the moment, and obviously, that rubs off on me. I writing this isn’t going to change any of that, but it’s nice to get off my chest.

Not enough people read the EU.

Ouch, sorry to hear your parents split. That is one thing I was very fortunate in, my parents loved each other very much and got along very well. Of course there were arguments, nowhere near the splitting kind of argument. Now of course with my father’s passing splitting is impossible. Maybe as they get used to being split, they will become less depressed, but who am I to predict such thing? I have no expertise with this sort of thing. I wish there was more I could think of to say. I hope things get better for you. Hang in there. I be praying.

I am somewhat worried about Bingo. With the what he has be saying he has been going through and the fact that there is zero activity on his account for over 10 days, it is a little concerning.

God, I hope he’s OK too!

I broke up with my girlfriend a few days ago. It honestly wasn’t because of the stalker ex boyfriend, although I’m not gonna miss that. It just wasn’t working out. I do feel sorry that she has to deal with it on her own now, but perhaps she shouldn’t have taken me for granted and appreciated all that I have done to help her. I don’t have anything negative to say about her as a person, but I was just wasting my time. She was my top priority and I was the last thing on her mind most of the time. She would tell me sweet things of how much she loved me, but she only had time for everybody else but me. Time to move on with my life.
