I Am Frustrated With SocietySo many things in society are broken. People get this idea in their heads that just because most people think that something is true/good/whatever, that that automatically means that it must be true. But societies are inherently homogeneous - the...See More »
I Have Random ThoughtsI feel like there are two different... inner forces? (not sure if that's the right word) - that drive us to live. It's like, on one hand, there's not wanting to die, for the sake of wanting to avoid having to be dead, and on the other hand, there's...See More »
I Want The World To Be A Better Placesomeone told me this recently, and it really got to me: "The truth is those who are seen as heartless once cared too much. There are a very select few who have no agendas, no ill wishes, and have the ability to appreciate the gut-wrenching,...See More »
I Am Not the Person I Used to BeWhen I used to try and help people on here/EP, I always felt like I was fighting an uphill battle. Like people hated me for it more often than they appreciated it, and like nothing I was saying was really having an effect on anyone. I used to try and...See More »
I Have Built My Walls So High That They Will Never Come DownPeople like me - who've seen what I've seen and done what I've done - we don't get to have a future. Not really. We're never truly connected to anyone or anything. Everything is dulled. Everything is distant. We don't get to touch this world and feel...See More »
I'd Rather Have the Truth, No Matter How HardMost of us tell ourselves that we want the truth, no matter how hard it is to hear. But at the same time, most people push away every truth that isn't in line with how they want things to be. It's an ironically easy bit of hypocrisy, in an ugly sort...See More »
I'd Rather Have the Truth, No Matter How HardPeople only like the parts of the truth that are in line with what they want to hear. Most people - including you, probably - when faced with truths that don't line up with their self-stories and worldview, will push them away at any cost. And one of...See More »
I Hate BulliesI hope that there's a special place in hell for people who "win" an argument on here by posting one last comment and then blocking you so that you can't respond.
I Hate the World We Live InYou stupid, stupid people. None of you see it, do you? None of you see how infested the world is with sociopaths, covert narcissists and other covert bullies, do you? You go to work, chat with people in your spiritual centers, meet with the pta - and...See More »
I Have Random Thoughts"People in america who are black or Mexican are more likely to engage in criminal acts than people who aren't black or Mexican." - That's the sort of line that people read and often instinctively have strong, fiery opinions on, because it hits close...See More »
I Have Random ThoughtsAny issue that's sufficiently polarized is pointless to fight for, because the people on your side already agree with you, and the people on the other side will never hear a word you say.
I Have Random ThoughtsI have respect for people under all of the main political labels, and agree with some of their views, except for progressives. Progressives are pretty much a cross between socialists, and a team of kindergarten soccer players running after a ball...See More »
I Want The World To Be A Better PlaceFor years I had this idea that people were basically decent, and that the world had as much light in it as it does darkness. And I took everything that came at me and twisted it to fit with that story. And for all those years things just felt... I'm...See More »
I Am LonelyFor 7 years, there hasn’t been anywhere where I felt like I belonged. There hasn’t been a single moment when I felt that indescribable sense of being comfortable in my own skin. I haven’t felt a connection to anyone who didn’t leave my life soon...See More »
I Want The World To Be A Better PlaceI want this broken world to be better, but after a lot of years I've finally given up hope that it ever will be. We've made progress as a species - but with nukes and overpopulation and global warming and so many other things, we're not going to have...See More »
I Have Random ThoughtsPeople think that by switching which political party is in power, they'll make things better. But any system where narcissists like Trump and Hillary are the ones who win the primaries is a system that's broken at its core. If people want to...See More »
I Have Random ThoughtsBlock people because they're being abusive or because you find the things that they like to talk about disgusting. Or block them because they won't leave you alone or because they're genuinely bothering you. There are a lot of good reasons to block...See More »
Apparently this is fineDoing terrible things is fine as long as you weave a shallow, easily pierced pretense to cover it up, right?
I Have Random ThoughtsTrump is an overt narcissist, Hilary is a covert narcissist. People, stop acting like Trump winning is the end of the world - we're screwed either way.
I Have Random ThoughtsI remember a time when 99% of the posts on sites like this weren't completely asinine.
I Hate WarSome wars are absolutely necessary - with WWII being a prime example. It was a case of true evil reaching out to destroy and subjugate the innocent. But at the same time - WWII was a direct result of the...See More »
I Want The World To Be A Better Place--I think that the world is better than it used to be-- I think that people always instinctively think that "now" is the worst time in human history. We all have personal experience with the darkness that exists in today's world. But none of us have...See More »
I Want to Feel Close to SomeoneFor 7 years, there hasn’t been anywhere where I felt like I belonged. There hasn’t been a single moment when I felt that indescribable sense of being comfortable in my own skin. I haven’t felt a connection to anyone who didn’t leave my life soon...See More »
