meds I don’t want.

Why?

Medication helped me a lot after we lost our daughter. As did group therapy.

I don’t want to spend money on medication and I don’t want to be medicated. As for group therapy, I don’t know why I would want to be in a group with anybody, but especially not group therapy. I credit them for the business model though. You can see a lot more customers rather than one at a time.

Therapists are a waste. I don’t want to sit on a couch and pay some bastard hundreds of dollars to listen to me tell him about my childhood and then prescribe me some meds I don’t want. As for your “Happiness is possible,” line, that’s a gross generalization. It’s one of the really sickening attitudes that the public tends to have. I hinted at it in a recent conversation in the Politics thread, but such statements (or lies as I prefer to call them) insult me. They’re just vague bullshit lines that people can throw at others and pretend that they’re being helpful. Handman can, and should, do whatever the hell he wants; I was just making a suggestion.

Given that there are people who find more happiness than you believe is possible, I’d say it’s obvious that happiness is possible. I don’t know who finds total carefree bliss, but that’s clearly not what I’m talking about. This is about recognizing and living up to potential.

You must feel you have a really good reason for thinking it isn’t possible for you to become happier.

Happiness seems like a delusion to me, so I don’t find it appealing anymore.

Without some kind of assistance I don’t know how you can bounce back from that belief.

But even if you want to accept happiness is a delusion, why wouldn’t you choose that delusion?

I’m not delusional.

It must be an awfully easy thing to be under this delusion. How were you able to escape it? And what’s the value in [seeing life as it really is]?

I don’t understand the question. I’ve never really been what anyone would call happy before.

Oh no, I’m just trying to ruin other people’s lives, haven’t you heard?

Just hang in there! You’ll have a great circle of friends in no time!

Not quite sure what to make of that grammatical mess, but I can speak to what I know and all that bullshit is not helpful to me and I’m sure it’s unhelpful to others as well. I already offered to never give anyone my input ever again, so unless you want me to continue defending my outlook, I don’t understand the purpose of that post.

I can’t comprehend how anyone could even consider rewatching the Holiday Special.

I’m not delusional.

I don’t enjoy much of anything so you’re wrong there, but I don’t see anyone else giving any kind of real advice so I just suggested perhaps considering what I believe to be a realistic outlook on things. Some people just aren’t made for the way that relationships work in this society (I am one of those people), so the bombardment of “hang in there, you’ll find friends eventually!” comments aren’t helpful either. I can’t speak for Handman or anyone else, but I find such comments to be as insulting and unhelpful as “Let them eat cake.” I’ll never give anyone any kind of input again, however, since obviously it’s too offensive for anyone to stomach, although Handman said he appreciated my comments, and I trust that he’s capable of deciding for himself what is and isn’t helpful. Also, my initial comments were pretty tepid until people started pressing me on this, so don’t act like I told Handman to be as miserable as I am.

I don’t particularly like Superman either, but 2/10 is absurd.

Heard a racket behind my house and stuck my head out the door just in time to see some neighborhood kids chasing a cat under a parked car. One started throwing rocks when they couldn’t get at it. They got so far under the vehicle I was hoping they’d get stuck. Little bastards.

Another good argument for birth control.

A little. I don’t know, I still that way though.

I was once forced to and I tried of my own volition once as well and it was a waste of my time. “Therapists” are just charlatans looking to profit off of rich people’s misery.

I mean if you’re happy this way more power to you but advising other people to be like you isn’t super noble.

I usually don’t give advice in these kinds of threads (since my advice is of course horrible), but no one else is giving him advice and he’s been talking about the same problems for quite some time now, so obviously the whole “hang in there, people are wonderful, you’ll meet great people some day” line isn’t helping. I think a lot of people like me or Handman would be a tiny bit happier if they didn’t put so much energy into pursuing friendships when they struggle with that.

It’s Up in Smoke that I’m mad about. That’s easily a 10/10.

It actually isn’t. Telling people to operate under the delusion that anything good will ever happen to them is dogshit advice. Especially when talking about relationships. All relationships are terrible and destined to be a disaster because they involve people, and people are the worst.

This is painful to read and you should consider getting help, and if it’s even slightly a shtick you should know it’s not amusing anymore.

It’s never been shtick, and there is no help.

I’ll have you know that I love my daughter beyond reason, and I am her favorite person in the whole world.

That’s nice for you and nice for her.

There is a lot to be said for the positive emotional benefits of deep, meaningful relationships.

Not for me there isn’t.

So you really do need to seek help.

Again with this help myth.

What’s wrong with being a nihilist? I find that I’m almost .01% happier knowing that everything is ultimately meaningless so I should only bother with things that are meaningful to me. Technically that doesn’t make me a full-blown nihilist, but it works for me.

That’s some dogshit advice right there.

Trump pardons right-wing propagandist.

It happens. I did something similar once.

Embrace nihilism.

That’s life, man.

I haven’t smiled since 2004.

That recently, huh? 😉

Yeah. Too much work though.

Everything still sucks.

On any given day I usually want to flip off 100% of the people I come into contact with so that shirt would be great.

Is watching Star Wars on DVD for the first time the only thing that has brought joy into your life?

It was before the DVDs came out.
