    Healthy thoughts? So apparently I’m supposed to surround myself with gay people or something? Because everyone screws everyone. I don’t see that as unhealthy, is just reality

      I haven’t been screwed over by someone in literal years, because I surround myself with people who don’t do that. Again, if you think “everyone” does something, that’s likely not true; it’s only a reflection of the people you see daily. “It’s just reality” is a thought-terminating cliche that is preventing you from improving your environment.

          I’d argue my tone has been at least 50% technical rather than pure guru nonsense, but fine, how about I switch to something more direct. Get off your ass and stop complaining about your life without making any effort to fix it. You want to be happy? You want the people that you know to treat you with respect? Drop the ones who don’t, and find ones who do! I’m not lying, I’m not gaslighting, and I’m not trying to mislead you. What possible incentive would I have to do that? Do you think everyone goes around being miserable 100% of the time? No, because we have chosen to identify and fix the problems in our lives (internal and external– that’s why I keep bringing up environments), so that we can enjoy the lives we’re making. You owe it to yourself to do the same.

          Obviously I don’t know much about your life, that’s why I’m trying to get you to understand how to fix it yourself. I can’t do shit, I’m just trying to motivate you to do something. If you do have someone in your life that you value and trust, you should ask them for advice, but until you do, this is the best you’re gonna get.

            You ain’t doing shit that’s right, you feel important or something? Life has fucked me over and over. So I’m done, you’re a shitty motivator and another one who thinks that everyone has the same opportunities “get off your ass” isn’t a thing. There’s different realities, some people are lucky and get everything and fuck themselves, others don’t. Is not their fault, it’s not my fault.

              Sometimes when life feels out of control I find working on my hobbies helps me relax and sometimes even see things from another perspective. Playing guitar seems to help the most
