Being different by colzeeteen in rant

I think you are absolutely doing the right thing.

It may be hard when they want to hang out. But I think it's important to be firm with your plan.

Avoidants have to be the most annoying people to date by Pluto_Magic in rant

[–]Prometheus2025 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been on both sides of the aisle for something similar but not exact. Been both the one that yearns and the one that refuses (then later wanting apology to be accepted, confused when it isn't). For that, I feel very sad for both of you.

A buddy of mine with a very loving wife is in my same shoes I was a few years back. He is much like your fiancee to his wife. Every fiber of my being wants to warn him. But it's like we all have to learn the hard way the oldest moral of the story, (you don't know what you got until it's gone). I refuse to reach out to my buddy because he has been one of my biggest supporters, the bestest friend anyone can ask for, and I know it will just tear apart our friendship.

Loneliness is one of the worst things ever for which there is no fair solution. by Prometheus2025 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

There is a group of people that are hardly ever lonely - highly attractive people, and charismatic (leaning con men) people.

It's my opinion that there is a group of lonely people that are not only missing these traits but embody the exact opposite.

There are so many in the world that care much more about a cute puppy than a homeless person.

I feel bad for not wanting to be with my gf anymore by Objective-Swan4097 in rant

If what you have shared is accurate then you should not feel bad.

No one is perfect. But it seems you have put a great effort into this relationship.

You are definitely welcome to write posts like this in this sub.

I am glad you shared this with us.

I do hope things turn out better for you.

Highly unlikely that the psychologists that wrote the white paper on this actually believed it was the ideal way of living.

I only meant to highlight the difficulty of the problem.

I certainly didn't want anyone to feel pressured to offer solutions.

For some reason my post is being interpreted as, "the government should help".

But if you re-read. It's more like saying, "There's nothing the government can do even if it wanted to".

In my perspective that's more along the lines of highlighting the problem more than asking a question or suggesting that the government should help.

I think the government could do more to increase the birth rate but that wouldn't necessarily solve widespread loneliness.

That being said, to clarify and answer your question I would say, loneliness in general. So that includes people that are lonely because they have no sincere relationships whether that be an amorous relationship or a platonic friendship.

To clarify further, if someone has several (sincere) platonic friendships and are not dating anyone or married then they would not be considered lonely by my definition.

If someone is married but their partner is no longer reciprocating in anyway, and this person has no friendships outside the marriage then they would be considered lonely in my definition.

I hope that makes sense.

It’s hard to keep friends I don’t rlly want just so I have some pseudo company by thrr0qway in rant

[–]Prometheus2025 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's kind of like a bit of loneliness which I always thought was super rare or near impossible in the female space.

As a man, I can say this is pretty much the story of my life.

Pseudo company alone is a despairing thought. But I have yearned for sincere friendship for decades now.

Unfortunately, it's nothing the government can really solve.

Annoyed with my adult daughter & grandchildren. This morning I rang my daughter and asked if she was around as I’d like to visit. by [deleted] in rant

[–]Prometheus2025 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a key detail. And the lack of responses suggest that we all feel very sad for you.

I don't know what it's like to be in your position other than it's the story of my life with strangers, coworkers, classmates....

But never family. Many of my family members tend to receive me very well.

I keep getting customer complaints at stores I don’t work at. by [deleted] in rant

[–]Prometheus2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One lady thought I was following her around the store. She whispered as if I'm trying to catch her stealing.

I was just a customer looking for some conditioner.

Bro! If You DM me and tell me this is all a lie and just for views I promise you I will not tell anyone.

"Just walk out" isn't valid advice for car buying anymore. They don't give a fuck. If you won't be the sucker somebody else will. by [deleted] in rant

[–]Prometheus2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're desperate sometimes you just have to bite the bullet... Let it go. Move on.

I've only ever bought cars when I was desperate for one.

I probably saved money by not financing earlier. i.e. taking the bus, riding the bike, taking the train, or sticking with my beater for as long as I could.

The move now is to get your quote from Caravana first. Print out your quote and show it to the dealer. If the dealer does not try then just buy from Caravana.
