I don't think so. Of course I'm not sure what that is...

@SW-User you spend a certain amount of time, money hard work on something that you'll finish it or keep going with it even though it lost the value it had like you'll finish a project even if its not required anymore because you put the time in, stay in a marriage because whats the point after 40 years to leave.
you bought a whole set of game rules but the game is defunct so theres no point but you have 80% so you buy the other 20%

but its mainly the reason why people keep gambling, i lost 10k already but i'm already this deep i'll keep going

I see. Moving on - sometimes swiftly - is what I do.
Well, what I should do...

I saw what you wrote about your own feelings on this... 😟

About you? You're too young to be constantly thinking of the grim reaper.

@SW-User that's what unhealthy obsession with the character of the grim reaper, a life of agony an depression does to you.

Well, you make each and every one of us happy to see your smiling av every day. And you are never bitter about anything. Thank you for that.

@SW-User Ooh no you got me wrong there i'm very bitter. but unlike others in my family who'd prefer their bitterness and anger towards the world be aimed at their family members and those around those i point them at myself.

because i don't like souring other peoples days because mine sucks

I see what you mean. I can only hope you survive all the stronger for having realized bitterness has been forced on you - it's not who you were meant to be at all.

@SW-User no its not how i was meant to be and by nature i want everyone to be happy.
issue is i'm constantly in my mind struggling between being bitter and not wanting to bother others with my bitterness. being annoyed because its not fair they made me bitter but others are innocent in all this.

Are you really all alone in your personal life? I don't mean people on the internet. No understanding grandparents? No best school chum? I'd not like to know SW is all you have. All you think you deserve.

@SW-User i have some friends but none on a psychological i need help or do you understand level, my best friend is same as me but is bitter towards everyone and glosses over or only jokes about it. we constantly joke about death.

both of us don't want to learn how to drive because both of us would just quickly turn the wheel and crash.

some family memebers understand but its not like they can do anything about.

plus i don't like airing my stuff as it could sour others days.
going back to the i don't want to ruin others days because of my misfortune.

the psychologists over the years did not help either.
