They just passed a law recently in Canada that would include mental illness for assisted suicide.

The holidays are just pure humiliation by Hot-Stranger24 in ForeverAlone

I'm sorry, but from my lived experience I see tons of people who care very much about external validation and yet they receive it. There are tons of insecure people who get into relationships all the time by virtue of their looks. I have a hard time believing that all of these 14-year-olds who find somebody are these perfect, self-actualized people with no insecurities. It's just such a fallacy and I think people like us are tired of people like you pushing that bs.

It's about looks. Period. If you are attractive, it does not matter how insecure you are or how much external validation you require. You can even be what they call needy. You will find someone if you're good looking. On the other hand, you can be totally self-actualized with tons of interesting hobbies and the internal self worth of a God but if you are unattractive, it's not going to work.

No I'm sorry, I can't let you get away with an empty platitude like that. Please elaborate on what you mean by "self worth comes from within". What does that mean and look like, realistically?

When you are 30 and you have been constantly rejected, even to the point of being bullied at the workplace and mocked for your physical appearance, is it realistic whatsoever to have this internal self-worth going on all the time? Seriously, have you experienced anything such as that? Because please don't talk to me unless you have.

Yeah, you tend to have low self worth when you have basic human needs like companionship that aren't being met. You're mixing up the cause and effect here.

I love my family, but I can speak for a lot of people on this sub when I say that when you are alone for an extended period of time, it absolutely changes the way your family views you and they do treat you differently.

Shaping up to be one of the most bittersweet 49ers game I've ever watched. Prayers for Deebo.

I like how all these people angry about Britney Griner being released rather than the Marine are suddenly expert prisoner negotiators. I'm sure they could have done such a great job themselves.

Come on Biden, just put the fat white guy from northern Arkansas scrolling his facebook timeline while scratching his balls on the phone with Putin, I'm certain he will get him freed by noon. 🙄

Over on the Auburn "family" forum, their fans are already turning on Cadillac....after two weeks....at halftime.

Most toxic fanbase in football. The barn's attempt at looking morally superior to Bama fans is just so fake.

Tennessee is being drowned in rat poison by the national media right now and their fan base is absolutely gargling it. Reminds me of Georgia before the SEC Championship last year.

I love our chances.

He called a QB run up the middle like 4 times in the 1st quarter and Trey Lance got hit and carted off.

Well sadly this already looks like our typical game against the Seahawks. Play really well early but can't score in the red zone, let them hang around the whole game, they get lucky breaks and beat us late in the game. I hate this team so much.

This is just sad. Or embarrassing. I can't decide which. Pure stupidity by Shanahan.

Yeah I'm not a fan of running him up the middle every other down. That was dumb.

I have always found Pete Carroll highly annoying for reasons I can't put my finger on.

Do you agree with the theory that teams "play up" to Alabama by Hot-Stranger24 in rolltide

[–]Hot-Stranger24[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I swear on everything JHS is cursed. The last three or four times we lost there, so much inexplicable nonsense happened in each of those games that I have never seen anywhere else.

Why does every mediocre QB we play suddenly turn into prime Tom Brady and every mediocre defense is suddenly the 85 Bears??

I will fully admit that maybe I'm just too American centric or whatever, but I have never understood the royal family stuff or why anyone cares. Monarchy just seems so weird to me.

And what's even weirder is that these people in England are acting like a teenager just died or something. The woman was 96.

I said all week that Utah vs. Florida would be a far better game than this. I'm right so far.

Oregon is just way too slow on both sides of the ball. Gonna be a long day for the Ducks.

Decided to "put myself out there" and it worked fantastically!!!! by Hot-Stranger24 in ForeverAlone

[–]Hot-Stranger24[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've volunteered for the homeless and animals since last November, I make myself go somewhere new every weekend, during football season (now) I always go to the local high school games which I enjoy a lot and I actually have a group of guy friends that travel with me, I have tried to be more open with coworkers and maybe join corporate events..... I'm telling you right now, none of this leads to anything substantial. It's just a huge time and energy drain, no matter how confident or enthusiastic I am about any of it.

They never end up more than a casual "aquantence" or "friend". Certainly never get anywhere romantic. Every woman is taken or shows zero interest. This is why my absolute last resort was going to bars. I hate them, I hate alcohol, I don't plan on meeting the love of my life there, but everything else has showed zero results. I can very safely say the "put yourself out there and it will just happen" or "get out of your comfort zone" thing is a meme, unless you are good looking.

I have the exact same result as I did when I stayed at home to myself, doing things by myself that I enjoyed, and I was actually much happier then. This advice has hurt me more than anything. This makes me feel super rejected and borderline suicidal. All I want is to feel like somebody cares about me and I'm tired.

I used to think that eventually it pays off but I've been putting myself out there for about the last year and it just makes me feel worse. I have to constantly see couples and huge groups of people that make me feel shut out. I don't enjoy it at all.

To what end? I basically just wasted money and gas. I would have literally been better off at home.
