I mean it sounds like you are describing someone who is selfish that demands much and returns little of those around them. I don’t believe I do that. But you are saying I will if I don’t figure out my self esteem issues before hand?

Thank you, I am saving this, it is a good quote.

Maybe not but they are highly comorbid. And having depression get in the way of a lot of my goal took a toll on my self esteem.

At this point I don’t think there will ever be a cure given how long I have lived with it. Part of me wants to date so that there is something humanly normal about my life, another part stays up late at night wishing there was someone to hug me when Im sad and someone to share my music, memes, and fan theories with, and part is just amorous I think. I’m not experienced enough with dating to even know how to avoid codependence. I haven’t been in such a relationship but I also would know what to look for other than not have low self esteem.

I wouldn’t know. It would probably take me months to figure out if the sort of people that attend these clubs would be dateable. I am no expert on hobby clubs but the little experience I have had with them is they tend to be small and hardcore. Since I am not hardcore about anything either due to personality or depression, it is difficult to gage if I have a place there.

So that rules out people with depression?

What do you mean by dependencies? As in codependency?

Yeah dating apps either frustrate me or discourage me so I am trying to avoid them. The trouble is that the alternatives are meeting people at hobby based clubs or approaching people while I am out and about which I don’t have the cajones for.

I mean I would say my mental health is fairly stagnant. There are some nights I am haunted by life not being what I want but I am not having massive fluctuations in my mood and I have a few close friends I have maintained a relationship with.

I just started meeting with a new therapist and the basis of the advice seems to be my self esteem issues and being unemployed.

It’s pretty obvious they are sea sex toys.

You can’t really therapy your way out of schizophrenia. Medication is a must. It is a long and painful process to find the right one but refusing to do so is a doomed venture.

I am saying that if someone is trying to ruin you, ruining them isn’t an effective response.

Why do you try to ruin the lives of people who you think are trying to ruin your? Even if it were true, that is reckless and likely to back fire.

God I hope my instance defederates with them.

It is easier to blame everyone else for your problems.

Sounds like cope.

And yet look at the votes and comments.

Lol “the genocides my guy committed were just outliers”

The other lost a cold war, what is your point?
