why yes, internet stranger who knows nothing about me, i *would* like some unsolicited life advice

@BROKENgashu Speaking of people's projections. "it's all due to that bloody wheat you're eating" sounds just like my mum. 😆

@SteelHands ah, yes theres something to that i agree. unfortunately i think thats a biproduct of the society we live in. a person struggling with their emotions or behavior often have difficulty operating in professional settings. and since our entire system defines a persons value by their productivity or ability to produce further value this can put people struggling with emotions or phobias in a difficult position. Basically, if you have a mental health issue and you don't take drugs to chemically blast it out of your brain, you get fired these days. So there is a sense of urgency placed on a lot of people to take pills to fix their ADHD and such. But yeah I do think there are also other things in play. This sense to iron out every wrinkle in your mind to a smooth bland flatness.

@NoahB Yeah it's simple not the abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz stuff anyone should be able to figure out. It's those complicated things ike finding the right group plan that pays for the "needed" pills or smoke or needle. Sheesh

@th3r0n much appreciated! and my moral character??

@NoahB Even when it comes to jokes I prefer to stay quiet if I don’t know enough to speak on the subject

@SteelHands ? What prompted this?

@NoahB Or it could be that you remind them of someone IRL who disagreed with them about the same thing (a coworker, neighbor or family) and they project that image onto you.[c=004A59]I.e., "I hated my dad and you sound just like my dad" -- that sort of thing.

Anyway, it's aggravating to spend so much time composing a post or response just to have someone not really hear you out.[/c]

@NoahB I homed on the unempl bs because over the years I've been in that spot myself and have also known e a lot of other guys in that one and we figured it out.

@SW-User Oh. Yep. This feeds into an entire galaxy of human flaws having to do with prejudicial opinions based on personal experiences. It's also proof that a person that does it often says more about themselves than they do about the person they're talking about.

@NoahB I don't think that's why you said it.

@MarkPaul lol.... good bye for now mark

@NoahB 🙄
