Just a bit of a ramble

So, I'm here because nobody I know would ever think to be here, and sometimes you just gotta let it out. I've been through more than enough hell for a few lifetimes, and frankly I'm tired. I'm absolutely done with dating, close friends (though i will be friendly unless given a reason not to be), and just tolerating bad behaviors. Contrary to common opinion, most people aren't worth the time. So I've spent what little sanity I have left getting out of the debt put on my head, finding a decent place to live, and even getting a solid job. I stick to my hobbies, and the more stable life becomes, the more I wonder why I ever would want to invite anyone into it.

But ignore me, I'll post nonsense, or ramble, or whatever. Just not into politics of any kind.

The reason why you would want to invite people into your world is for self-affirmation and distraction from being a nobody. I don't mean you, personally; I mean you as me.

Coming here to invite company into your cyberspace is safer than inviting people into your physical time and space. Companionship is essentially psychological. You call the shots here and have total control as in a dream state. Just as in a lucid dream, if things go south and you don't want the company, just wake up or, in this case, log off and shut your computer down. Here, you have absolute power unlike out there where you are absolutely at the mercy of the elements and demons of material life.

@ninalanyon Social security safety net is for when you retire and no longer work for an income to live on. If you run out of money before retirement age, social security won't pay you anything.

Solidarity and caring don't mean much unless they come with a roof over your head and food on the table. I live in the USA. There are all sorts charities, food pantries, and shelters. And yet, some people have to live in cars because they can't afford the rent, some live under bridges, and some begging for money at traffic lights. American society is the best there is in terms of caring and solidarity if you believe the empaths in the media.

Not where I live, nor where I come from; neither of which are the US.

@ninalanyon Good for you. It's unfortunate that the rest of the world must struggle on with conflict and insecurity. I doubt that your safety net situation come without a hefty price in terms of human dignity and freedom.

You're doing the best thing in getting on with your life. In time you might find someone, we can't be sceptical from bad experience because we don't know what the future holds.

Perhaps let one or two in -real world when you are ready

@sree251 well you do kind of have to use your instinct and your brain to not get you into really bad places.

@turnedtostone Easier said than done. Great men throughout history had been destroyed. It's sad that evil found a way to stick it to humanity. It started with Eve.
