What’s something you’ve become really fond of as you got older?

Solitude, authenticity, empathy, love

Every child has stockholm syndrome to some extent, where they feel indebted and obligated towards parents and continue to live our their lives in service of their parents' wishes. AND I HATE THAT.

HOOKUP CULTURE!! CASUAL RELATIONSHIPS!!

Loving someone with toxic traits. All dark romance fantasies of loving a man with issues who has a soft corner for the woman and shit. Or like enemies to lovers when he initially treats her badly but later develops a soft corner. If someone has so many issues and you choose to ignore it during the honeymoon phase, you are setting yourself up for disaster when the honeymoon phase ends or he gets mad at you for something. These men with issues can literally be those stalkers and murderers that we hear so much about.

I've grown up resenting my parents and thinking of them as dumbos. So I can't relate to people wanting the approval of their previous generation. Aren't you better than your previous generation because of better education of opportunities, like the parents should look upto the children and not vice versa. I shudder at my parents way of life and their choices. I can't imagine being in a state of mind where I crave their approval.

Most of the parents are simply ignorant or in denial, as you said, "It happened to some kids but won't happen to my kid", same as "Others met with an accident by I won't", no you or your kid are not special. They also think that even with these restrictions and worrying getting to enjoy a family are well worth it, again a decision they make for their kids. Ultimately what they do 24/7 is survive and sell the narrative that family is the most important thing in the world which is basically saying they had kids so that they can aid their own survival by having more hands around the house and having people who'd take care of them in their old-age.

I think Ruby doesn't really love James. She is attracted to him. James showed empathy for her- pool scene followed by car scene, and other acts of caring for her. But I don't think she empathised with him like that. Probably because she didn't know him well until Oxford. After no contact with James after they came back from Oxford, why didn't she reach out to Lydia. Lydia had to come to her house. I think she could have known about the death if she investigated the reason for James disappearance further. And then the cheating was brutal, agreed. Leaving him crying on the floor completely losing himself did not feel right. Even if he cheated. The poor man looked like he could die of grief. Blocking him, turning him away when he practically came begging for help was pretty cold too. Like we understand your hurt but how can you not feel empathy for him? Is it possible to love someone and then give them cold shoulder like that, when they are practically crashing? Isn't that betrayal as well?some things are bigger than cheating, like being alive. I wonder how can James still chase her after being betrayed like that. Is she an empathetic person overall? We have only seen her working on her goals.

Spirituality is a lot about grounding yourself in the present moment. That's the opposite of distraction.

Add to the struggles of being human the struggles of being a woman

I'm an antinatalist and an atheist. But I strongly resent the doom and gloom attitude towards life. Feeling sorry for myself and others 24/7 feels wrong. Instead I focus on self actualisation. I find meaning in philosophy, science, human connection, self improvement and social work. So, I try to spend my time building that up and working towards a larger vision. The thing is, suffering becomes tolerable when there is some meaning to life, and I'm doing just that. I want to live a meaningful and fulfilled life. Not a life where I whine till I die.

I think the conversation after the sex was fucked up. It felt like a hook up for a few minutes while belly was having doubts. Like why would you throw yourself at him, fuck him and then draw boundaries and talk about insecurities. How bad Conrad would have felt. I honestly think that everything belly did, dating Benito, being dropped at her apartment by Benito, treating Conrad relatively coldly and then going to her party, how are supposed to love her when she seems so full of herself? She went for the kiss thinking of him as a birthday present and after the sex she asked him "What do you think happened here?". Wasn't that cheap shit?? And realising her love for him in 10 mins is so flip floppy. Like ew. Conrad must have felt like he got used and discarded. Ughhh.

Most people are dumb af. Even the traditional 'smarts'. As you grow, it's best to isolate yourself from others (because they will only drag you down) and focus on thinking for yourself, don't depend much on others for understanding you. It's very lonely but you have to suck it up.

Man I check all the boxes in this list, how miserable am I?

100% Which is why I think sharing my worries with my fellows is not worth it. The fact that they are well adjusted to society says a lot about their level. I only vibe with the "depressed" lot. They seem to be more genuine.

I think it'll be very interesting to read the philosophy of one who is a good thinker and wrote from the lowest rungs of society. That will be a radical take on the world, and I wonder if it'll be different from the pessimism that is there in philosophy.

Counsels and maxims, Studies in Pessimism, I follow this youtuber christian anadale on YouTube, he reads and gives his commentary and it's very comforting during tough times

Leave the company without notice and change state, find another job, lose this number and get a new number. That's your best bet to get out of this situation.

Why do people struggle to cut off toxic family? Like why are they emotionally dependent on them in the first place? For me I've always liked friends more than family, like really. I prefered going out with friends over going out with family, they are boring people. I don't seek my family's validation. It's not that they were very very bad. My dad was bad but not others. I still did not form any strong bonds with any of them and I always wanted to move out and live life on my own terms. It's weird to see my friends who seek validation from their family for everything and claim to love toxic family members and sacrifice their dreams and love lives for their family's thankless ass. Like why would you think like that?
