You were incapable of having a will at the time. In hindsight you may not want to have been born but you can't say you were born against your will.

(October 26, 2014 at 4:26 pm)MusicLovingAtheist Wrote: You were socialized against your will.

Unless you have some kind of genuine mental problem, as a child, socializing and having friends is the easiest thing in the world and it comes completely naturally. I doubt you were forced to play with other children.

(October 26, 2014 at 4:26 pm)MusicLovingAtheist Wrote: You were sent to school against your will.

Your parents hands are tied there. You have to go to school, its the law. And it equips you with life skills and knowledge so you can function and thrive in the real world, but no, act as if going to school was a bad thing.

(October 26, 2014 at 4:26 pm)MusicLovingAtheist Wrote: You are expected to survive on this planet against you will.

Most people like living and if you don't want to live on this planet, you know where the door is. It's not like you are being kept here against your will.

(October 26, 2014 at 4:26 pm)MusicLovingAtheist Wrote: I am a fucking volunteer in this life. People shouldn't tell me to shut the fuck up and deal with it when I express that I have a problem with my life. I don't even know what kind of response just saying that would get me. It's usually people saying that I am just being a whiny piece of shit.

Well it really depends on what your problem is. You haven't given us any actual examples. And being truthful here, all you have ever done on this forum is complain, so when they call you a whiny piece of shit, I have to agree with them.

(October 26, 2014 at 4:26 pm)MusicLovingAtheist Wrote: They might even say to think about how privileged I am. What a condescending and snide thing to think. If you really think you're better than me because you've mastered success in your life, good for you. Leave me alone.

They aren't saying they are better than you. They're saying that you are extremely lucky to be born in the USA, the land of the free, the land of opportunity. You have a roof over your head, food on your table, parents who look after and pay for you, energy, toilets, TV and internet. Most of the 7 billion other people on the planet don't have these things. We all take things for granted but you should consider that you are in-fact, extremely fortunate. Maybe you should go travelling to places like India and Africa. See the slums and how some people live. That's always a humbling experience.

(October 26, 2014 at 4:26 pm)MusicLovingAtheist Wrote: What offends me so much is instead of trying to help me fix the problems in my life people just act like they have no fucking empathy for how I feel.

Your problem seems to be with life itself.

(October 26, 2014 at 4:26 pm)MusicLovingAtheist Wrote: My own parents just say shit like "well everyone goes through these kinds of days". IS LIFE REALLY SO FUCKING SHITTY THAT EVERYONE FEELS LIKE LIFE IS ABSOLUTE SHIT EVERY DAY!? IS THAT REALLY WHAT EVERYONE ELSE THINKS?

No, they are saying that everybody has bad days but we still survive. And that stewing in a pool of our own sadness and self loathing doesn't help.

(October 26, 2014 at 4:26 pm)MusicLovingAtheist Wrote: I have fucking had it with this bullshit. I don't know if I am going to drop out of college. I am falling behind on all my assignments and I left class early because I was being antagonized by kids in the class.

If you talk to them like you talk to us, I wouldn't be surprised.

(October 26, 2014 at 4:26 pm)MusicLovingAtheist Wrote: The college fucking classroom that I fucking payed for

*Your parents paid for.

(October 26, 2014 at 4:26 pm)MusicLovingAtheist Wrote: that people were giving me a hard time in. I'm so fucking lonely. I want my own place to live, on a campus, in a relaxed environment around other people so I can finally connect with people outside the internet.

But one of your problems is with people. Is there any type of person that you think you could actually get along with?

(October 26, 2014 at 4:26 pm)MusicLovingAtheist Wrote: But no! My parents are too fucking poor to do anything about it. Whenever I say something about how I feel they just say "yeah that must be frustrating". YEAH WHAT'S FRUSTRATING IS YOU WANT ME TO PULL MYSELF UP BY MY FUCKING BOOT STRAPS
AND DO ALL THIS FUCKING INSANE SHIT TO GET THROUGH THIS YEAR! FUCK YOU!!!!!

You're complaining of no support but have you ever tried seeing a therapist at all? Obviously the support of friends and family is off the table for you so a professional seems to be the only option here.
1. You're right that it wasn't against my will. The point I was making, and didn't make myself clear, is that I didn't have a choice.

2. As a kid you are all forced to do things you don't want to do. Maybe you can't remember but kids are taughtt to use manners, behave according to rules. I may not speak for everyone but I imagine that all kids are forced to behave opposite to how they feel. Adults are too.

3. It is a bad thing. It is a horrible thing. There is nothing worse than being bound to that mass cattle farm.

4. I do not empathize with your pro suicide point of view. When someone kill themself the ratio of good people goes down and the ratio of bad people goes up. I have friends who I care for dearly and I would be crushed if they killed themself. How dare you devalue the human life. It's the most important thing in the world.

5. The people I am referring to are people on this forum. The only other people I interact with are my parents and I avoid doing that as much as possible.

6. Generalizing my life is just saying you don't take my feelings seriously. You think I am supposed to be happy, which I'm not. So it's a moot point.

7. As I said in my last point, my problem is no one takes me seriously. I seriously dislike how much hate I get from people taking some sort of indirect hostility as being hostility towards them somehow.

8. "That doesn't help" super advice.

9. Don't automatically assume this. I hate how whenever other people perceive me with a negative perspective and just write me off. I feel like no one values my life. You especially don't. You just said "you know where the door is". Again. How dare you.

10. And the way they spend money on me isn't valuable to me and is none of my business?

11. Friendly people. I have one friend. She's a girl on the internet who I talk to all the time who is understanding and sweet and we share a mutual respect for each other. My problem with other people is they have no respect for me and don't care about my company.

12. I have tried multiple psychologists and they all suck.

He didn't call any of you out on this thread and he's going through a rough time sorting things out for himself. I do not consider the post to be a "dump" on the forum. I want people to see that my humanity has not been affected by my loss of imaginary gods.

Please keep your comments relevant to the current thread or at least explain yourself better..

The current thread is nothing more than a repetition of previous threads. So many people have responded kindly only to be ignored. It's hard not to grow weary. We all have our own lives and problems to deal with so it's extremely frustrating when we take our time to try to be considerate and helpful only to be ignored, or in some situations sworn at and insulted. I can only take so much of this attitude.

OP no one at this forum owes you anything. This isn't just a discussion forum, it's also a community. If you participate and also need some advice or just someone to lend an ear, we are here. We are like a big family here, we take care of each other. If you don't participate and are only here to create 257 posts which are all either you complaining or you insulting those who seek to give you the help you seem to be requesting, then well...I'm done. I hope you get banned.

Well that's a stupid point because no body has a choice, its nonsensical.

Within reason, what a child does and doesn't want to do is irrelevant. They don't understand that these things that they are being forced to do is paving the way for their future and helping them develop skills that help them survive.

(October 27, 2014 at 10:34 am)MusicLovingAtheist Wrote: Maybe you can't remember but kids are taughtt to use manners, behave according to rules. I may not speak for everyone but I imagine that all kids are forced to behave opposite to how they feel. Adults are too.

How a child feels is irrelevant and often wrong. A child will throw a temper tantrum in the supermarket because they feel angry that they aren't allowed sweets. Obviously, as an adult you cannot behave this way in any situation, so the behaviour is condemned. Its for their own good.

The mass cattle farm? Do you mean planet earth?

I am not 'pro suicide'. I don't like the idea of suicide, I thinks it selfish and a permanet solution to a temporary problem. I was simple stating that if one doesn't want to live in the world, suicide is an option.

The way you talk about people leads me to believe that you are openly hostile towards everyone. And generally when someone is hostile towards you, they respond in kind.

So your only friend is someone you haven't actually ever met? I'm sorry to say but that may be the reason she is your friend.

(October 27, 2014 at 10:34 am)MusicLovingAtheist Wrote: My problem with other people is they have no respect for me and don't care about my company.

Respect is earned. And be honest here, you wouldn't want to hang around someone who is depressed. It sounds mean but people like to hang around other people who are fun and exciting and make you laugh. You don't do any of those things.


(October 27, 2014 at 10:34 am)MusicLovingAtheist Wrote: 12. I have tried multiple psychologists and they all suck.

How many is multiple? 2? 5? 10? Because I think if you have seen multiple shrinks, it may not be them that is the problem.

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

I used to like you but now I don't. I don't ignore people's posts. I jsur don't always respond to them besides giving them a thumbs up. As displayed here peoples attitudes and relationship shifts drastically. I don't always trust someone who is nice to always be nice. I am the one who is weary here, not just you.
