Mine? As miserable as ever. My little bro wanted to go to a little comic con thing, is just not my vibe, felt surrounded by people in weird costumes is just… Thankfully I was there for like half an hour.

    Lol damn, my job is to go to comic conventions and deal with all the weirdos (I don’t mean that in a negative way; I’m a fuckin weirdo too) almost every weekend.

    I was in South Carolina this weekend, currently staying in a hotel on my way back home. Then next weekend I get to drive back out this same way to Knoxville for a show.

    Edited to add: STOP BEING SHITTY, OP. Goddamn you’re fuckin insufferable. Why even waste the time on this post if you’re not gonna do anything about your life?

      It’s not a new account. It’s a serial ban evader who is on like his 6th account because he keeps getting banned from asklemmy for acting like an incel

          Every time he posts, he responds to every reply being dismissive and shitty. He literally can’t say the words “woman” or “relationship” without adding on “which I will never get to experience”. Whenever anyone tries to give him actionable advice like therapy or ways to improve his mindset, he shuts them down.

    The Left ranked first at the elections in France, so suddenly much, much better than the expected brown/black outcome.

    It sounds like you’re not really interested in how everyone spent their weekend and want to vent instead. But on the off-chance that I’ve misjudged the situation: the weather was kinda shit, so I spent most of my weekend playing The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles on the Switch. Is good game.

    I assume you’re quite young, which is great! I’d suggest learning to enthusiastically jump into whatever activity you wind up in. It’s way more fun that way.

    At a comic con? Throw on a mask and start talking in a funny voice!

    At an opera? Listen closely to the sounds and try to enjoy the artisticness of the performance!

    In a big grassy field with nothing to do? Take your shoes off and let the grass tickle your feet!

    In my experience it’s easy to judge things as lame and to tell yourself that you’re too cool for that thing, but that winds up not being fun, and you wind up missing out on a lot of stuff that you actually would’ve enjoyed if you let yourself get into it. Learn to be open to trying new types of experiences and you’ll wind up having more fun in life!

        I used to be that way too, but it’s a skill that you learn through practice. Like push yourself to get into things just a teeny tiny bit to start with for now. Then after awhile it’ll be easy to get to that point of toe-dipping, so then you push yourself to go in a bit more next time, and do that every time you’re at some activity, and then eventually you’ll find it easy to jump right into the deep end of every activity. But it does take some effort to push yourself in the earlier stages

          And that’s the problem, that just isn’t me. I’m like that for everyone and everything. I get that isn’t normal, but it is what it is. I just despise being forced to do social stuff, a cringe like situation like a comic con is probably even worse.

          Is like changing nature, you just can’t do that. That’s how rooted is this thing on me, I can’t change it.

              It would probably make in existence less useless and maybe would had gave me a girlfriend in my lifetime, I dunno though. I know that isn’t me.

                You honestly sound very depressed and like you really don’t know what you ARE. Try things, open mindedly, and you may find that some of these things are you, or can be fun regardless. Stop getting in your own way.

                If you want to change this about yourself, then you can see a therapist to help you do it. You don’t have to be mentally ill to see a therapist, they can just help you make changes in yourself that you want to make. For something like this you would want to see a CBT therapist

                I’m saying you’re a general intelligence. You have the kind of intelligence between your ears that the largest companies on the planet would gladly pay 100 billion dollars to be able to create.

                You can learn and change and grow. “I am this” or “I am not that”. This just isn’t how it works. We cut off parts and build new parts all the time.

    My depression has been trolling its way back recently, I was doing good since January… Those two weeks have been hard. Keep crying without knowing why exactly during my visits at my psychologist.

    But the weekend wasn’t that bad. We went to the municipal pool yesterday, the kid was happy. Today we went to the beach with friends, it was a most beautiful and relaxing day. When we came back, everything started going so wrong, I became super clumsy and almost broke stuff multiple times. Ended up screaming at myself and went to my office in the basement to isolate myself.

    I feel bad for my wife and son. They deserve better than what I can offer right now.

      You also deserve better than what you can offer right now. You deserve to be well taken care of, including by yourself.

      This means when you fuck up while trying to take care of yourself, you can be angry at yourself for fucking up, or you can be compassionate to yourself in recognition of your loss.
