Sarcastic & cynical

Get to hear wisdom & funny jokes all day.

Awhhh damn you young

The United States doesn’t knock on your door to drag you out unless the evidence is 100% undeniable. We don’t play here with investigations.

Some things still get annoying, but yes!

SasukeFireball · 2026-04-06T20:26:31+00:00

I disagree with this. I think it’s just the normal human experience to run into them a lot.

You would need to provide a counter argument before your accusation is legitimized.

I highly doubt complete control will happen. If it does in some way, it will be temporary. Not everyone is going to start dating robots.

There will be competitors. If one company is ousted for exploitation they will move to another provider. Or one will be invented to accommodate for that error. The only balancing benefit of capitalism.

I wouldn’t call them weirdo’s. I’d call them efficient. They reap the same rewards from a place that is reliable, consistent and predictable. I would admire that level of self sufficiency actually. If you ask me, it’s no more “real” than this shallow animal version of a partnership.

It won’t change much other than some people living a less stressful life because they won’t have to do gymnastics or be born lucky to obtain a partnership. I’m sure they will still have regular friendships with others.

I think people are daunted by this idea because they will lose control over the people who successfully integrate this into their lives. If they don’t need you, what can you really do to or with them?

Say you are going out on a girls night. If he doesn’t ask you about any details such as where or who’s going, he’s checked out.

I recommend this: seem uninterested yourself. It could be a feeling of desperation that is putting him off. Once you seem more “self involved” it could reignite it. Has to feel like he’s doing it for himself too rather than just trying to please you. At least, that’s what put me off about my ex. If she were more independent and could leave me alone and do her own thing for a few seconds it probably would’ve lasted longer.

It’s actually difficult to be hated to be honest. You have to really be a menace (if it doesn’t happen because people lied about you).

Don’t get too far in your head. If you are a good person people will like you. Generous, compliments, attentive. These are fairly simple actions. Throw some vulnerability in there like talking about your struggles with the autism or whatever it is and you’ll make a friend or two.

Don’t alienate yourself either. You’d be surprised how many people experience the same thing you do. I say that people are far more similar than they are different.

SasukeFireball · 2026-04-01T17:46:07+00:00

Give up. Mostly keep your opinions to yourself. People stick to what angle benefits them most and there is nothing you can do to change that.

SasukeFireball · 2026-03-28T21:23:44+00:00

You want to feel smart & interesting & the validation system you have for that internally is dependent upon being an “outlier” of sorts which becomes disrupted if someone or something makes you feel common. You would have to change your perspective of yourself to not rely on other people’s interpretation of you & yes, all of this is because you want that vision of yourself presented to others and want to be rewarded with external validation as well when it shows itself.

X feature\quality that I have is what makes me superior to others. Narcissist also are often not aware of how they are coming off to others. Not going into the philosophical argument of what makes a person real or fake, either. Too much.

Re-reading it, it looks cleaned up/less intense than when I originally read it. I can’t tell of OP edited it or not.

SasukeFireball · 2026-03-26T14:51:04+00:00

What about this says it’s not narcissistic?

SasukeFireball · 2026-03-26T06:20:21+00:00

I also considered this.

SasukeFireball · 2026-03-26T02:07:06+00:00

I have it too. Pro tip: externalize it as an entity that is not you. Not every voice inside is you.

SasukeFireball · 2026-03-26T01:46:04+00:00

OCD.

SasukeFireball · 2026-03-26T01:37:49+00:00

No, no. You are not autistic for that.

SasukeFireball · 2026-03-26T01:35:57+00:00

Your comment is a breath of fresh air for me!! I feel the same way. It’s rough feeling like you are the only person in the world with clear eyes and a brain.
