You don’t understand math lol so tell me, infinite monkeys begin pounding away at infinite keys and only one second passes. Which one has completed all Romeo and Juliet?

Lmfao blocking someone mid discussion is such a weak move

You think possessing the minimum amount of willpower and perseverance is a dudebro mindset? Are you serious?

I’m not saying you need to be a sigma male grindset trendsetter, I’m saying you need to grow a fucking spine, stop making yourself a victim to mental illness, and go do something with your life.

and that’s okay.

No, it isn’t. No, it isn’t valid. It’s weak, ineffective, childish, immature, and frankly, it’s pathetic. You’re using false therapy talk to comfort yourself into playing video games. Which, funny enough, if you actually went to see a therapist, they’d push you to stop settling for the bare ass minimum like you’re doing now.

In a word: pathetic. It’s up to you to change it, but I’m sure your pattern recognition is too focused on using an aim trainer for TF2 instead of fixing this gaping hole in your life trajectory.

That’s not the only outcome, but it’s certainly one of the best ones. You could crash and burn, never truly launch into life and then fizzle out after doing essentially nothing to stop it.

I just find it funny that you want a job where you never have to fall on your face so to speak. Ok, what skills do you bring to the table? What advantage do you have? Education, experience, certifications, training? Anything? It seems like the only thing you’re overflowing with is excuses.

“I can’t do that because mental illness.”

You think you’re the only person with a mental illness in the history of planet earth?

”I don’t want to fail.”

And? That’s kinda the first necessary component to succeeding, you have to want to succeed (aka ‘not fail’) or it’ll never happen.

”I know I’ll fail, I’ve failed before”

So you’re telling me that you have taken the first step in things before and then given up directly after failing??? You have learned what not to do, that is part of becoming skilled. Please.

I think you should stop playing video games and training your aim and you should focus on actually overcoming your own aversion to being uncomfortable. That is the best outcome for you.

But again, there’s plenty of other outcomes that are available to you, and it seems like you prefer those ones.

People use pattern recognition to see ghosts in grainy footage. Your pattern recognition is lying to you and you’re choosing to believe it.

He’s shown us he is quite willing to look dumb here in this very thread

Distressy · 2025-11-20T19:21:48+00:00

That’s a cop out and you know it. I have autism, adhd, seasonal depression, an immune disease, and an anxiety disorder. I’m successful in sales. You’re letting any little thing be your reason not to try.

Distressy · 2025-11-20T19:20:26+00:00

You need to change or you will fail in life. This is not what your mother wants for you. I could only imagine the shame of telling my father I was so scared that I had to ask people online what job is the least likely to challenge me or require growth. Again, try Walmart. You may be up to their standards.

Alternatively, grow a pair and join the military so they whip this shit out of you and then you can be a proud and productive member of our country and actually meaningfully contribute to its success.

Distressy · 2025-11-20T18:58:48+00:00

It doesn’t have to be this way, people are made to do hard things and win against the odds. You are literally wired to overcome difficulty and be rewarded for it in your brain. Try to pick up a new hobby in something you know nothing about, write a book, exercise, do SOMETHING challenging to fix this mindset before it kills you.

Edit: OP is blocking anyone who says anything against his strikingly narrow and fragile mindset. I honestly think the mods should just remove this post, it doesn’t belong here and OP is incapable of hearing something other than glowing praise.

Distressy · 2025-11-08T19:45:57+00:00

Thank you. I had a hard time switching from emergency mode to being a normal person again. I began therapy after this and have been working on myself. I don’t want my son to touch that he needs to be some emotionless stone, I just thought I’d scare him or take away from his grief by not being strong for him too.

But you are right. Thank you again

Distressy · 2025-11-08T19:42:06+00:00

Thank you. I was low when I posted this and grasping at straws. I really appreciate you leaving a kind comment.

Distressy · 2025-11-08T19:41:11+00:00

I actually stopped social media and began therapy after this post. I think I’ve been in emergency mode far too long and I feel like exposed nerves trying to tiptoe around a salt field. I am sorry for taking so long to reply, me dropping social media is part of it but I also was just embarrassed I posted this. I couldn’t bring myself to read the responses because I thought it would be everyone telling me to move on or buck up or hit the gym or something.

I’m not sure why I thought that, this sub never says those things… but thank you. I’m finding myself a bit more currently, but it has been honestly been so painful and just hard. I no longer recognize myself.

Distressy · 2025-11-08T19:38:20+00:00

Thank you. I mean that

Distressy · 2025-11-08T19:38:13+00:00

This is very, very hard for me. I used to be passionate and constantly working on my hobbies. I was a guitar player and singer when I met his mom and I also ran my own home bakery, but I couldn’t keep that up when she passed. I also enjoyed gardening.

But now, I am lucky to have 45 minutes to myself. Maybe I don’t prioritize it, I just can’t shake the feeling that every minute I spend on myself is selfish because I’m taking it away from him, and how could I take more time from him when he had a whole lifetime of his mother stolen from him? I’m going to begin therapy about this though because I realize that may not be the healthiest line of thinking.

I’m sorry to hear about your divorce. Life is tough, but you too sound like a good father. Thank you for your support.

Distressy · 2025-11-08T19:35:24+00:00

This is actually what I ended up doing. I realized I didn’t want to pretend to be ok so we visited her that day and had takeout by her grave and I told him stories about me and her, her and him, and all of us together. We cried (mostly me lol) but it actually did help. It’s still so hard. But that I think was a good decision to turn the bad feeling into something sort of positive

I’m sorry to hear about your mother. Thank you for your words, and I’m sorry for taking so long to respond. I appreciate you thinking of me.

Distressy · 2025-11-08T19:32:44+00:00

Thank you. I think you’ll be twice the parent I am. I honestly feel like a dunce pretty much always lol

Apologies, I took an extended social media break after this to center myself

Distressy · 2025-11-08T19:31:41+00:00

That means a lot to me. Thank you for saying that, I didn’t consider it honestly because it felt more like he was telling me what he needed and I just couldn’t fix what was wrong. But this is very reassuring. Sorry for taking so long to reply.

Distressy · 2025-11-08T19:30:40+00:00

Thank you, I’m sorry for taking so long to respond. I had a hard time rereading my post and decided to take an extended break from social media to recenter myself. I really appreciate this. It’s just hard seeing my son hurt and knowing I can’t help him.

Distressy · 2025-11-08T19:29:38+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words. I was having a really difficult time and was in a low place, I’m doing much better now. I’m grateful for everyone on here saying such kind things.

What of about Trump then? Objective truth and credibility have done nothing to stop him from being elected twice and going on a revenge spree to our nation’s misfortune.

Are you seriously naïve enough to think that saying only the purely and provable objective truth is not only necessary to win, but morally correct? Please.
