Fun fact: the circumference of the earth is 24,000 miles!
I used to work as a service technician so I’d also have to travel more than the circumference of the earth every year. I feel your pain lol

Dragonball Z introduced me to anime which became a life long enjoyment.
Clarissa explains it all exposed me (a guy) to more female lead content and I learned a bit more about other perspectives.
Captain Planet introduced me to the idea that we’ll never really stop pollution because super heros aren’t real lol
A stable career path, a loving relationship, and permanent housing.
More concise: Stability.
It’s all I ever wanted and seemingly the only thing I can never have even since childhood. I move every 2 years on average and since adulthood that’s been from basement apartment to basement apartment and now to a garage with no end in sight… I finally got to the point where I could consider buying a house and then COVID, WFH, and the invesestment parasites all blew up at once and took that away from me… I gave up on the relationship bit years ago.
Just want to back this one up: as someone rapidly approaching 40 who never loved himself, if anything absolutely loathes himself, repeating to yourself how absolutely horrible of a failure you are and how completely and utterly undeserving of anyone’s love you are daily will cement itself in your head as absolute fact.
I can no longer actually comprehend that I can do anything well. I’m either a complete failure, or if I did it literally anyone with 2 braincells can. I actually do not believe anyone who says otherwise, it has become an objective truth in my brain backed up by decades of “evidence.”
I would think that would be “too much” because all the potatoes don’t matter at that point, it’s one entity. There are no more individual potatoes, we are Borg mashed potatoes!
One of only a handful of actually accurate answers here. 10 years isn’t that long to be honest. Just look back 10 years and see how similar it all is.
I managed to “preheat” my oven for 2 1/2 hours… That’s kind of interesting.
“Ah yes the ribs should be done by now!” quickly turned into “why do I have decayed dog shit where my brain should be?”
So I guess a close second interesting thing I accomplished is surviving not having a functioning brain lol
I actually am guilty of using that when people try to tell me “there’s someone out there for everyone.” Or “don’t worry, you’ll find someone who loves you for you.”
Like no? Life isn’t fair, there’s no guarantee of anything.
To your point I agree though, discussing what we’d like to improve is important.
Both clinically and in reference to current events/future issues.
It has been at least 20 years that I’ve dealt with depression and simply not wanting to exist anymore. It’s probably only around 6-8 that I’ve also lost hope, developed frequent panic attacks, and have become depressed about my own future. I separate that from what I’d consider to be the “clinical” depression that is just my broken brain. The future of everyone globally is a whole nother layer of depression…
As for those around me, everyone seems “happy” as far as they can be with their lot in life. Not depressed, some are just bummed about specific things.
I do something similar except I have my own cryptic way of writing my passwords that only I understand. I will never trust an outside source with my passwords ever. EVERYTHING gets hacked at some point…
I get to be depressed while having a (shit) apartment, a job, a phone, and a car.
Globally I’m hitting a home run every day. In the US I’m a worthless schmuck who will never own a home or retire.
If you don’t have a dream, do what makes money. Fuck what you enjoy.
Hobbies aren’t careers and you don’t want to end up 40 having never “found” yourself, suck working in a factory.

I changed my diet to correct for my familial hypercholesterolemia…
Stupid liver enzymes not doing their job and stopping me from eating fried chicken all day every day!
The great thing about anxiety is it always comes as a side dish with every meal!
Sorry you have that in your diet as well :(
I’m pretty sure the first is a pickled tree-person, the second is possibly supposed to be a dinosaur burger, and the last one is a protein shipping boat.
They’ve got quite the appetite and are a very creative chef.
I’m at work, but I desperately want to overlay a mostly transparent image of the black and white big chin shirtless “Chad” on this!
Roughly 45° angle, top left is head, bottom right is chest lol
If I can’t even be upset about their success and my suffering, then what remains? Just crawl and die in silence?
It’s not about never expressing how you feel, I was just saying that this specific thread probably isn’t the place to do it as “everyone” is looking to read a happy story. Honestly I came here looking to see if there were any comments like yours because I share that pain too. I may have had a small handful of relationships in my late teens and early 20s but I was always left or cheated on. I’m not sure that’s much better than not having anything at all, I feel completely worthless as well.
I see you weren’t downvoted much at all though so that’s good, but whenever this kind of thing would come up on Reddit people would usually dogpile on the person who expressed frustration with some form of “it’s not about you” so I’ve come to assume that is how people think about these kinds of threads and was just looking out for you. I’m glad people are better about it here though.
We’re alone together!
Seriously though I’m coming up on a decade since my last real relationship.
I’m an absolute worthless pile of unredeemable garbage though so it’s really no wonder lol women are smart to pick literally anyone else.
That saidddddd, people generally don’t like our kind of comment in a place like this because this thread is about other people’s success/happiness. They don’t like to see others make it “all about them” and be upset seeing others success.
I think MAGA is an unspoken admission that there are a lot of easily swayed people in this country that have been failed by the existing system.
From what I recall there were not an insignificant amount of Bernie to Trump voters. Sick of the current system and looking for a charismatic outsider that wanted to fight for them.
Die über toe!
