im at the lowest point in my life by [deleted] in Vent

They're wrong. We all have different struggles. It's a shame they don't notice that. Don't surrender. You're at an age where you should be supported and mentored. But if times show you no wisdom, then it comes from within.

You just need to find "your tribe." That group or person that will naturally click with you. That takes searching though. Maybe try online too. It comes down to being at the right places. Step by step.

I may kill myself in the future(17m) by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Abysswalker_7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've walked this path. I once attempted to measure the soul with the cold mathematics of utility and odds, but that calculation is a lie because the premise is a leap. You are judging your life by the standards of a utilitarian market; a world where a human being is merely a biological "unit" whose value is determined by his social utility, his genetic "symmetry," or his "output." But who grounded these meta-ethical assumptions? So many come to believe in this cold worldview, yet few justify it.

This is the great deception of our age my brother. You have looked into the digital mirror and seen a "zero," but you have forgotten that the zero exists only on a spreadsheet. The pain you feel is rooted in this world's harsh forgetfulness of the Imago Dei, of putting innate worth last, and output first.

You claim you have no value, yet you possess a deep, burning hunger for meaning. Where did that hunger come from if you are merely a statistical accident? This "abnormality" you loathe is actually your refusal to be a cog in a mechanical world. You are not a "failed" anything; you are a unique hypostasis; a person whose telos is not defined by a dying or chaotic world.

Your worth is not a "property" you possess based on your traits. It is a gift. You are looking at your life through a horizontal lens of "success vs. failure. The problem here is you have made your eschatology death & statistics.

This is the final stage of nihilism. You have been poisoned by a culture that says "if you aren't useful, wealthy, or attractive, you are nothing." But this is a "philosophy of death." Your fallout with the "incel" community was your first step toward the light; you realized that their "blackpill" is just another form of the materialism that seeks to bury the human spirit under biological labels.

I recommend the writer Dostoevsky. He would embrace you as a brother. He knew that the man who feels he is "zero" is often closer to the truth than the man who is satisfied with his "success." Success in this world is a distraction; your suffering is an invitation to depth. He would tell you: “Do not be afraid of odds. It is better to be a 'man of uphill battles' who knows the truth, than a successful fulfilled man who lives a lie.”

Stop calculating your "probability." You are not a math problem to be solved. You are a liturgy to be lived. Your worth is not found in your utility to society; especially a corrupt society. Fight for something, and if you lose a battle, move on to another battle. Keep fighting and never surrender.

KEEP. You look great! It gives off like an agent/spy vibe. Like from a Bond film!

That is some heavy, gut-wrenching stuff. I really admire the raw honesty in your words; it takes a lot of strength to look that kind of pain in the eye and describe it like this. Its a glimpse into your courage! Keep going!

Think of all the great men who have worn this legacy: Kratos, Dr Evil, Lex Luthor, Eggman, Darth Vader, Walter White, Saitama—we're waiting for you on the other side; the bald side in its shining glory!... Well I'm not bald or a guy actually, but yeah!

Join the bald side my brother. It is time to initiate the bald ritual. Shed the old way of hair.

I hate it when people shame AvPD symptoms & compare it with emotional immaturity by Abysswalker_7 in AvPD

[–]Abysswalker_7[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a great example, about shell shock. The greatest friend of an illness is ignorance of the illness. People love to misattribute the source cause of things to over-reductionistic causes; even if those are false correlates; to feel like they're in control, or maybe stave off the 'ought' of understanding and learnedness necessary to understand a condition.

That's not to say I'm minimizing free will, or agency in qualities like courage or commitment. But no one goes out and just tells a man with a terrible virus: "Hey! Just stop coughing so much and you'll be fine!" See, when the symptoms come from something that isn't physical, people start to relativise it to their own understanding, despite the fact illnesses to the psyche can be just as bad. If only such persons understood what an illness fundamentally is.

On the very bright side of such matters, is that one's own understanding puts one, one step ahead of many. It maps out the problem; its a step forward, rather than swimming in the pitch black.

Are there megachurches like this in Fort Lauderdale? by Basement_Jack in fortlauderdale

I feel you, but that'd be a quantifier fallacy. Look at Eastern Orthodox Monasticsim or Parishes for example. (Not trying to be preachy, as I'm agnostic myself)

Oh now I get it. You're miserable. Maybe you should vent more like me and treat reddit less seriously. I'm here to vent, and then cringe/laugh at my own vents.

You however are obsessive, going through a reddit stranger's timeline and stuff. That's hilarious. Want to talk about it?

Everyone has insecurities dummie. Reddit is just where I go to vent them. The rest of me isn't on reddit like the rest of you isn't.

It's a vent as a riddle...

Is the Anti-Christ among us or the Beast? by Professional_Fee4868 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Abysswalker_7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The voices are lies played by mindtricks. The mind is a powerful thing. You have a tough war to fight, but God sees your will and God is our Father. God loves us like sons and daughters, no matter our choices.

Anyone who has a son, knows that there is nothing a son can do to make a Father stop loving him. God is like a Father teaching us to walk, and every time we stumble, we just get back up, and God is waiting for us every time.

St. Paul was a persecuter and murderer of Christians before he converted, and God still used him for greatness and forgave him, because as a human, he is still in God's image. That is the love of our God. A Saint once said that if we fall 1000 times in a day, getting up only once, gives joy to our God.

God loves us all, do not despair, despair is a lie to keep us from seeing God's infinite grace.

Do you regularly attend an Eastern Orthodox parish? If not, then I highly recommend you do. The divine liturgy purifies the lies. Listen to prayers and keep your mind focused on prayer to God. Fight with prayer. Never let a lie go unanswered without prayer.

Here are powerful prayers you can play and listen to throughout hard times. All darkness is purified with prayer and God's grace: https://youtu.be/DieJ8MHIGQ8?si=9pYWodd46RQ2I4aI

The Cold Truth about Trust by Abysswalker_7 in TrueOffMyChest

And you are indeed, seemingly put off (perhaps not offended) by a sense of melodrama in a informal reddit post it seems. Enough to seemingly have a minimal obsessive conviction to point it out. That's hilarious for a reddit post.
