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

@BROKENgashu damn.... if i had only eaten more wheat... LOL

@NoahB I wonder what nutrient is responsible for the steep rise in psychosomatic dependencies.

Lol

@SteelHands humans are naturally dependent on one another. but i'd say if it feels like they have become more dependent than that is a biproduct from alienation from one another as a cohesive society.

@NoahB I'm not criticizing people being in relationships or those relationships being mutually reliant.

I'm criticizing large swaths of society defining every single emotionally based issue they have to solve as a disorder that can be defined as a phobia or fixed with a drug.

@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
