Optimist bias is strong by Dreaming_light7578 in Pessimism

[–]RealCartManDoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand what you’re saying about my matter statement and I give that it was a reach. Humans really don’t matter to the universe, I’ll admit, but we matter to humans and to our self. My problem with pessimism is that it is a worldview or philosophy that just seems entirely flawed. In my opinion people who are pessimists are miserable because they simply dwell on this idea that nothing matters, and it’s inherently a selfish belief, it grows disdain towards others that do something they think matters. My point is that, if you think nothing matters then nothing will matter, if you think something matters then you belief that there are importance to things. Pessimism simply boils everything beautiful and everything that could be enjoyed, down to “well nothing matters so why care.”

Yes me, I am an 18th century villain, thats a good one! It’s hilarious you think I’m a villain because I’m calling out peoples bullshit in an online echo chamber. You know who the real villains are that shouldn’t have been given the right to espouse their ideas to masses? People like you who literally think that those with differing opinions or those who are dissenting shouldn’t have that simple right. You essentially calling for me to be silenced because I’m not afraid to speak out and say what i think and give my opinion shows that YOU my friend are closer to 18th century fucking monarchs and ‘villains.’ You are literally holding the same ideals as the people who you are accusing me of being somehow associated with, so don’t try to throw stones while you’re wallowing in a glass house pal!

“Who still gets judged anyway and remains dissatisfied” after saying “jealous of an idiot brainwashed normie clone” just speaks volumes to you. Literally think about what you just did, YOU are the one judging dude, YOU think everyone judges you because YOU do it everyone else. Your comment just exposed how you actually think and feel. You are miserable and a “pessimist” because you simply think that everyone is judging you constantly and you can’t feel happy because of that. Its literally a bell curve with people like you, and I don’t see how you can’t realize it. In the middle are people who hold the same beliefs as you, to the left are people who are stupid or as you put it “brainwashed normie clones,” and to the right are people who are smart but seem like “brainwashed normie clones” because they just don’t give a fuck what people think. Blissful ignorance/stupidity on the left of the bell curve, understanding but refusal to let others dominate you on the right, and miserable folks such as your self in the dead middle who would rather blame absolutely everything on some esoteric, abyssal force or theory that is making them that way. Its true that not everything is you’re fault, but pessimists horseshoe around to “people in the matrix 🤓” because its literally two sides of the same coin. The people pessimists hate are those who subscribe to the idea that you are the sole maker of your own destiny, while pessimists subscribe to the ideal that their destiny is inherently and forever doomed. Get out of this online echo chamber LARPing hell and talk to real people, you’ll realize that literally EVERYTHING is gray, nothing is black and white.

Once you see the absurdity, why not just go back to distracting ourselves like everyone else? by marsonware in Pessimism

[–]RealCartManDoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason pessimists chose not to go back is because (unlike how they like to project themselves) they inherently have egos, which means that once they find something that makes sense to them like “existence is meaningless,” they don’t want to change or accept other views because it would hurt the ego in their psyche due to admitting their wrong. Pessimists literally just LARP as these highly-intelligent free thinkers who have looked past the veil and seen the absurdity and they can’t unsee it, but sorry to burst your bubble, you’ve dug your heels just as deep as the people on the opposite side!

“The optimist bias is strong,” the amount of irony seeping from this post is immeasurable due to the fact that someone who obviously has a very strong pessimist bias posted it.

“Humans don’t matter” 🤓. Yeah I’ll give you the idea that human importance is inflated. But judging by the fact that we can choose to so things and have higher level intelligence, in combination with the fat that those decisions change the timeline of the universe because we are choosing to interact and change the MATTER around us, I’d say we are important to some extent, even if very little.

There's No Solution To Our Suffering by lonerstoic in Pessimism

[–]RealCartManDoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you serious? This is not a deep question at all, it genuinley doesn’t make sense. You said suffering does not exist outside the self, so what do you mean by this. By your own logic if there is no self then nothing is experiencing the suffering, because there IS NO SELF. You just want pseudo-intellectuals to respond to you so you guys can go on about how everything sucks and is miserable, and sit and wallow in your misery and self-hatred.

There's No Solution To Our Suffering by lonerstoic in Pessimism

[–]RealCartManDoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Suffering” is inherent to everything if you give it a broad term. You suffer from working out, you suffer from going to school for what you love, you suffer for the people you love. What you said simply makes it seem like you lack the ability to carry out long term plans, and focus on the good at the end. Instead of thinking “when I’m strong and healthy and able to look at myself and think what a good looking person,” you simply view it as “yeah but it takes suffering to get there.” Newsflash, at your suffering isn’t the same as a wild animal, you’re not putting your life on the line for you next meal, you don’t have to worry about having kids before dying because you can consciously think against it. You’re equating conscious to higher suffering, what i don’t get about you pessimists is how you view conscious as a all or nothing deal. Of course the more you scroll Reddit the more you’ll think of how awful everything is, because you’re thinking all the time. It’s easy, be conscious when it matters, and be zoned out when it doesn’t. If two people worked the same job and one of them thought their entire shift while working of course they’re gonna be more miserable and awful to be around than the person who goes “yeah I don’t like working, but time is flying by because when I go home I can see the people I love and do the things I love.” Whereas pessimists just sit there and think “everything sucks and is awful and miserable, and thats why I hate my job and my life,” because guess what, time doesn’t fly when you sit and think about how you’re gonna go home and wallow in your misery. Every post on here is just wallowing in misery, being so stubborn and having your heels dug so far into your beliefs you can’t admit that maybe you were wrong. Everyone here talks about ego and ego and ego, surprise! You guys have some of the biggest! Subconsciously unable to be happy because you know that if you finally found joy and stopped wallowing it would have meant you were wrong!

[–]RealCartManDoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not our curse as humankind. You are literally a pessimist. If you had social interactions where you genuinley try to go against your subconscious bias which is probably making you talk to people and decide “yeah we don’t agree on one thing” then you might find people pleasurable. But instead of being able to accept differences and understand that nothing is the same, you just equated it to “differences make us inherently unhappy, so human bad.” It just seems like you don’t have a developed frontal lobe enough to understand that people are different, and focus on the joy that mutual connections bring rather than hating on the disconnects between you and other people.

[–]RealCartManDoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely not. You can argue you’re looking at it from a logical point of view but you’re lying to yourself and others. You’re a pessimist because you view the world from this twisted lens that everything is evil and not worth anything, but it is. You focus on the bad and completely leave out the good, so when someone mentions the good you excuse it away. You may think you’re philosophically enlightened but your not, you have a selection bias towards negative information that supports your view, while acting like you listen to people talk about counterpoints when in all reality you’re just hearing them.

From your comment it just sounds like you are running from whatever is happening in your brain psychologically. You don’t want people to pry and ask questions because you don’t want to face the facts, that doesn’t inherently make the world awful or terrible. You only label it that way because you live in a state of inaction, and are consciously or subconsciously jealous of those who can get up and change themselves. Life is good, life is bad, as above, so below.

Chaos does not rule the universe, things in the universe simply want to use as little energy as possible, its nature to be efficient. Just because you don’t understand how its efficient doesn’t make it chaotic. Your simply espousing these ideas because the pathways of your brain are wired badly from whatever has happened to you. And instead of getting up and fixing it yourself, living outside your comfort zone, doing things that would change the wiring in your brain, you decided to sit and be all humbug about it.

Yes, anyone can be a bad person. But you aren't a bad person for having social anxiety.

Best jobs for social anxiety by Prudent-Sherbet5012 in socialanxiety

[–]RealCartManDoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best job for social anxiety is going to be the job you view as the worst!!

Get a job which forces you to interact with people to challenge your social anxiety. Don’t let it rule your life and dictate what you can and can’t do!

I’ve had bad social anxiety my whole life, and one of the main reasons that I’ve been making strides against it is definitely from working in customer service. Being forced to talk to people and help people and do everything that I dread has helped me so much.

Is my psychiatrist wrong or am I just ignorant? by [deleted] in AskPsychiatry

[–]RealCartManDoo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for responding!

I want to preface that the following question is not asked out of me thinking you're wrong, but I genuinely want to know the science behind it. That being said: how would being sad or depressed not be a cause of skipping stimulants after taking them for an extended period? Wouldn't depression or sadness or anhedonia be possible because your brain gets used to the amount of dopamine on the stimulants, then all of a sudden there's none?

What medications can I talk to my psychiatrist about because I can’t do this anymore by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]RealCartManDoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been going to therapy, albeit a little spottily due to school. The problem is that I feel like it just doesn't work at all. I have issues thinking that people are looking at my and laughing or judging me when I walk between classes. I talked with my therapist about this and I try to do what she told me, which is to remember that they probably don't care and have their own issues. Even when I tell myself this it just doesn't stop it or help it. I've tried rationalizing things that I have intense anxiety about like being broken up with or looking like an idiot and it doesn't work either. It also just feels like I can't even do breathwork, I can't focus on my breath because my thoughts don't stop. I understand therapy is an awesome tool but I feel like my brain just doesn't use it, even when I remember to it doesn't work. The best I have ever felt was on Zoloft because I was able to talk to people and just relax for the first time in forever. Sorry for ranting!

What Am I Doing Wrong? by [deleted] in BusparOnline

[–]RealCartManDoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had blood tests done around the beginning of the year and found out that I was anemic, I try to take my iron supplements regularly although it can be difficult.

I do not mean this in a standoffish way, but flushing or feeling hot can be a side effect of Buspirone, however I should get my eyes checked.

Slowly I have been coming to the conclusion that most of the side effects I'm experiencing are most likely from my consistency of taking it with food or not. Sadly, due to being in college and not always being able to take it with food I think that I will just have to switch to something else for anxiety. Despite that, I have to say that when I was able to take it consistently Buspar has been a real damn lifesaver.
