    Most people won’t remember everything you said or did — they’ll just remember how you made them feel… and sometimes, even that fades.

    Loads of people say how COVID brought the world together, but it proved to me how People are so selfish, self interested, and uncaring. Most MF’s couldmt be bothered to stand 2m away from other people and wear a mask. I had friends on social media putting posts about how doctors and nurses were #heros and then the next day uploading photos of family gatherings of sometimes 12 or more people in there house, when restrictions were still at thier highest.

    Some people will hate you. I knew this guy for 6 years; he was a nice guy. One day, I asked him if he wanted to hang out with me, and he just told me. He told me how everyone had said shit that wasn’t true behind my back, that I was some weirdo with no life. I thought I’d felt true pain. I’d just wanted to be included, but Life showed me more. Later, I had learned that he, out of all fucking people, started the rumors. When I confronted him, he just said I was annoying. That day still haunts me, and some people will instantly change for no reason. I have over 150 friends or something, lost count, but I only have 3 real friends. Ever since that incident, I’ve stopped caring about trying to make everyone happy. Some people just hate you.

    That nerdy communities, or at least having a healthy social life in them at least is sort of a catch 22. Like people hype it up along with these other idealized traits, only for it to peak early and fall short when it comes down to it. Sure you can share memes and other stuff that lots of other people love, but it’s a one sided thing. It seems like you have to make your friends early, otherwise you are sort of locked out. Unless you can meet people who are in this healthy middle ground and are open to branching out socially.

    Or really just in general people aren’t as sociable as they like to act like they are.

    That my mother hated me. How else could she stay with a partner so abusive towards me, and indeed she abused me too on occasion. But she pretends it didn’t happen, and recently said she was confused when I tried to talk to her, and she latches on to things said when I broke down, as indeed doctors do, to prove that it’s me, not her.

    Sometimes you do, actually and unexpectedly, bury your parents way before you’d ever expect to.

    (32F), my father died last month. I told him I was done talking to him until he went to rehab and got help. He died 3 days later in his rehab in detox. I have no answers and I’m angry.

    You can never really trust Co-workers.
    I have gotten on really well with people I worked with to the point where we would go out after work or weekends.

    However one random comment I said or some shiposting on social media has got me in trouble. One I actually had a really shit day so I said stupidly on a random post because I needed to vent “I have had a cunt of a day”

    That almost costed me my job but my FB was not public so it would have been one of those people I trusted who dobbed me in.

    This was a long time ago but I simply NEVER say anything work related on social media (no one should) nor do I say who I work for as I cannot risk that kind of bullshit again.

    Seriously never trust any one you work with for anything as there are always snakes ready to bite.

    There are a lot of ppl in the world who do not understand personal responsibility. They never had it, and they don’t treasure it. The world owes them – but they owe nothing to the world.

    A lot of such ppl have messed up understanding of power – such ppl confuse power and control. They end up being controlling and powerless from the inside.

    It’s nuanced because often such understanding of power, control, responsibility is nurture-based. And some ppl just don’t have the resources to learn about the tools of live that are available to any human psyche.

    Not sure if I have accepted it yet, but I am still trying to fight it without getting any motivation to work it out. But here it goes… If I keep working a corporate job for money, I will forever be working for a corporate job on other people’s demands and schedule. If I jump out of it, I will be lost on money and won’t be able to feed my family. This is such a vicious cycle.

    One time, Doritos came out with a new chip and they were trying out on the public. It was hamburger flavor, and I shit you not it tasted and satiated just like a charbroiled old fashioned burger. I was stunned, and it became my favorite flavor.

    The promotion must have lasted only a week because I never saw it again.

    That was 15 years ago, and I’ve accepted I’ll never see it again–though it consumes me.
