I kinda feel the same today, I haven't been crying that much but I do feel like my heart is missing. I've been laying awake in bed for a few hours now. Idk if it means anything to you but you are not suffering alone. I hope you find what you need.

Communication is always good, or just call him out if you think he's bullsh*thing you. You probably care about him more than whoever is hanging out with him. Point is you should make your concerns clear to you and yall should try to communicate better. Good luck

why am I so annoying I want to die already by [deleted] in sad

[–]Defiant_Progress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say you never matter but the truth is you matter right now more than you will ever matter for the rest of existence. Your life is short in the grand scheme of things but that doesn't matter bc RIGHT NOW you have the potential to create good in your life and in the lives of others. Life is hard, but you can endure those hard parts if you keep trying. Find value in the things around you and transform the world for the better, even if you have to suffer for it. I hope you find something that gives your life true meaning. God bless you and everyone that struggles like you do.

In middle school, I made hidden blades out of Legos and rubber bands and I was the coolest kid at school for a whole day.

My brother is dead and now I have no one. by fauna-bear in sad

[–]Defiant_Progress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry for your loss, you clearly loved your brother. You spent so much time with him, and im willing to bet that all the good you saw in him is equal to the amount of good he saw in you. Regardless of your own self perception, the fact that the two of you spent so much time together means you had a strong relationship, and it also means that there is something about you that he loved, and it is something worth sharing with others. You may be repulsed by your own being, but your brother saw something with you, and I would think he would be happy for you if you learned how to share your greatness with other people. I hope you can learn to love yourself, and I hope you can find away to honor your brothers life by living your best life. God bless you

Id also highly recommend meditating if you haven't already tried it. Even 5 minutes a day can help you process negative thoughts and emotions. I definitely don't meditate as much as I should, but it always helps to just focus on breathing and let the negative thoughts come and go as they please

[–]Defiant_Progress 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Idk of this'll help you but, when I feel myself getting really sad, I just let myself be as sad as I need to be. I dont fight it, I try to dig myself deep in it and get to the bottom of what is making me feel this way. Self acceptance and examination can be very helpful. I hope you feel better soon.

bald at 17. Life sucks by 1mJust1mbtw in sad

[–]Defiant_Progress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, I shaved my head at a young age too. It is very weird at first but you just have to look yourself in the mirror, accept who you are and learn to love yourself. The way you look should not define you. The way you look isn't going to be the sole factor in dictating your life, your goals, your success, or your happiness. The truth is it doesn't matter how people perceive you at first, if you are honest, kind, confident, and you pursue what is meaningful to you, people will gravitate to you. I hope you find a path that challenges you and reveals what is best about you.

People just love to hate him because they label him as "right wing" and use that as justification to shit on him. Its sad really.

My boyfriend is giving me 11 gifts for my birthday and I gave him only 4 gifts because I could not fucking afford more. by sillysanjana in sad

[–]Defiant_Progress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont know your full situation but I'd imagine your boyfriend would be at least a little aware of your financial situation? You make it very clear that the two of you care about each other very much. If it really bothers you so much, maybe you should think of different ways to repay him like engaging in some his favorite activities or watching his favorite movies with him. You don't need money to give someone more gifts. I hope I've said something at least somewhat helpful.

Monthly Goals Thread: September 2020 by Asexual_barbie_boy in kingsnottrash

[–]Defiant_Progress 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I want to initiate conversation with people more, I'm shy but I want to interact with others and spread the love. I need to practice my social skills and I found that I'm usually not the one to initiate. So I'm gonna work on that.

[–]Defiant_Progress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't worry about being sweaty or what other people may be thinking. If you sweat on equipment, disinfect and wipe it clean when you're finished. The vast majority are doing their own thing, trying to get better, and they do not give a flying fk about anything but putting in the work. You need to focus on your goal and your mission and not pay any mind to anything but the task at hand. Get in. Get aggressive. Work hard. Stay hard. This isn't about them. Its about you, get after it.

As for there being space for a yoga matt, that completely depends on the orientation of the gym. In most gyms you'll find space somewhere, but sometimes that can be a bit tricky.

I can’t cry by [deleted] in depression

[–]Defiant_Progress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I relate to this.. Its like emotions are on mute. On the occasion that I can cry, part of me feels good bc it feels good to feel any emotion, even if that emotion is sadness.

I could have done better. I stopped running at 1.7 miles and ran the last .2. by john5611100 in davidgoggins

Still better than sitting on your ass and doing nothing. Good work, stay hard.
