That's it, this is just the permanent reality, I can find new meaning systems to justify the pain, or I can take my own life, but will there never find a true light at the end of the tunnel
I mean like the stereotype of the leatherface-type depraved trailer trash methhead, other hard-core addicts get a lot of stigma obviously but you only ever see that specific kind of potrayl when it comes to meth.
If you haven’t dated during the age of social media and dating apps, your advice is pretty useless. The dynamics of dating have changed in ways no one could have fathomed, and only people who have experienced both eras truly understand the shift.
For example, I’m in my early 30s. When I was in high school, if I got a girl's number, I could be fairly certain I was the only guy she was talking to. It was pretty much the same throughout most of my early college years. Nowadays, getting a number just means you’ve entered a massive competition with tons of other people.
The same applies to women. If a guy is good-looking and has high-quality pictures on Instagram or a dating app, he is likely talking to dozens of people at the same time. What worked 15 to 20 years ago simply doesn’t work anymore.
It feels like such a cheap way to shut up somebody who feels like they don't know the right way to interact with women in a specific situation.
Like yeah, every single human in every country around the world have same fundamental traits that makes a person a person, but on the flipside we can compare different places around the world with each other like Japan, Denmark, and Saudi Arabia, to highlight that just the way you're socialized growing up can you make act like an utter alien to someone from a different background, why shouldn't I believe there's something similar with how each gender is raised and that I can't just act naturally like myself?
I'm talking about not just maintenance routines that have practical benefits alongside aesthetics like e.g. fitness or wearing suncreen, but vanity as well such as spending lots on your wardrobe or meticulously styling your hair, do you think the difference in how others treat you is worth more than being less materialistic?
I just saw a post on r/science detailing how autistic people have a bigger tendency to fawning but I honestly still couldn't tell you how to distinguish it,
I'm always awkward and uncoordinated at work but there's this one coworker and they seem to react to it a lot more and be more awkward themselves, I honestly can't tell how they're feeling
I never hear anyone discuss this form of rejection, so many dudes act like any girl's gonna be super direct and mean, so how do I tell if someone's friendliness is just them trying to appease you cause they fell put-off for whatever reason by your presence?
I've lost all fucking tolerance for me managing to scrape up something that looks like a put-togdther existence, I am SICK of doing so good and then I just crash and unravel all my work, just to go right back and do it all over again, I'm a fucking pathetic loser and I don't even have the patience for it anymore, I'm done being a burnout, I just want to die and never feel another thing on this earth ever again

So I'm 22, my life and the rest of my family is not very well-off at all with a lot of disadvantages. Recently however I've really started to turn things around, I obtained GED now, I'm going to complete my first semester of community-college, a year of having credit next month, and I'm currently taking my first ever driving lessons and I hope to get a license this summer.
I was legitimately hoping I would make my mom prouder but somehow she's only become more agitated and when I fall into arguments they get really heated, I've remember her talking behind my back to my sister when she brought up me in college and my mom replied essentially saying I was in my head being a student.
She's upset I want to put money into learning how to drive and owning a car, my school and workplace and both remote from me at that and I need rides here services even if I didn't have a car, she brought up some other mother she knows who's child gives money to her every week, and it was some ridiculous amount that would essentially be giving away my entire paycheck, she doesn't even work a job herself.
I told her a different time how I want to focus my time being a student to eventually get a better job and she asked what jobs even like it was rhetorical question and I'm just wasting my time, why is she being such an asshole to her own kid.
