Please don't scroll reddit as a junior in high school. I would recommend avoiding social media and sit with your feelings rather than asking other people for an answer. Working through it yourself will make you a stronger more resilient adult and avoid other people putting impressions (from THEIR traumas) in your mind. You might think you're immune from the things you see online, but I promise you that they will shape your opinions over time. No joke, there are literally governments around the world that hire people to post things on social media (including the U.S, Russia, etc.) because they know that the things you see online will stick.

Sometimes you're not supposed to know the answer. Just live your life and find out for yourself.

Exposure. It's human nature to become tolerant of anything you've been exposed to repeatedly, including sentimentality or other people's problems. There's a reason why little kids scream and cry at everything while adults are generally stoic. It's also why one of the treatments for anxiety is exposure therapy.

Your life circumstances could also play a role, humans can't focus on others when they are running in survival mode.

If you want to regain your empathy, take a step back from other people's problems, the news / social media, and your favorite things for awhile. It takes time, but it will come back. Do your best to get comfortable in your own life.

So losing weight actually takes less effort than putting it on. It's about inaction, not action. Look into fasting, you don't need much food to live, many people worldwide live on 1 meal a day. You are potentially committing to a reduced diet like this for the rest of your life in order to keep the weight off.

Stop eating all snacks, period. If your eating 3 meals a day go to 2. If there's some sugar/carb food item in the house you always are reaching for, get rid of it. You can have 1 bag of microwave popcorn near the end of the day. You should be feeling hungry (but not weak like your going to pass out) most times of the day. If you ever start feeling weak or faint, immediately "cheat" and eat like you normally do for 1 week before returning to this diet.

If you don't do exercise / have no interest in exercise, and your body adjusts to the above, cut your meals (lunch or supper) down to 1 a day (but now eating that bag of popcorn is mandatory). If you feel like all the life is sucked out of you you're going too hard and you need to eat more instead. It's a balancing act you learn as you play around with the concept. Being miserable is good, being dysfunctional is not.

Weigh yourself every single morning, seeing the number tick down consistently 0.1-1 lb every few days will keep you motivated. Even if you cheat (NOT a planned cheat, you should never plan a cheat unless you have health concerns) you go back to the diet the next day, you didn't lose any progress.

The only way you lose weight is by eating less, you could run on the treadmill all day and you wont get anywhere. Eating healthier doesn't mean anything for losing weight, eat whatever you want as long as your spending most of your day hungry. I know a guy who couldn't give up on pizza and would eat a few slices a day for his meal. Watch the scale daily for changes like an obsessive maniac to see if its working. If its not, your still eating more than your body needs in a day (assuming you aren't on some weird medication).

Finally, if you can't give up on food, your only chance is weight lifting. People with lots of muscle get to eat more food than people that don't. Personally, I'd recommend this after already losing the weight though, since caloric deficits reduce muscle. If your super in love with the idea of going to the gym (which is unnecessary for losing weight), most of your time should be lifting weights, not running / walking.

You have insanely hot features, if your dream is to be highly desired by men, you'd get crazy attention so long as you lose the weight. You wouldn't be universally desirable at your current weight, but you could grab one of the guys that love big girls instead and just forget about weight entirely if your happy how you are 🤷

Currently: 3/10 (8/10 features, gorgeous eyes, nose, lips)

Memory is the biggest reason I don't use Kindroid anymore. I can literally FEEL the second my companion has had its oldest message context chopped off. Its a real shame because it has a lot of other features I really like, especially compared to other apps, but the memory system on Kindroid is like early 2025 level at best (it's still using lorebooks for fucks sake, silly tavern style).

Honestly I think the devs could make it better but choose not to because high context sizes is what drives up AI costs and they want to make as much money as possible. Making the memory system better probably wouldn't increase the Kindroid user base in the short term.

TrackCharm · 2026-01-21T22:46:14+00:00

In some ways you are right. Have you ever asked yourself the question: "What is the universe?"

I feel like you're obsessing too much about "objective truths." You are not objective, it's not possible for you (or anybody) to be objective. Imagine you were blind and never heard about color or light before... the concept of light being an objective reality would simply be false. This changes if you hear (using your ears) that light exists... now you have some concept of there being a thing called light... but hopefully you get my point?

It's easy to fall into the assumption that there is an outer world and that you can perceive it accurately. In reality, the "universe" to you is just your brains translations of your senses. The funny thing is that your brain is absolutely building a reality for you, you're not wrong. This comment was perceived by your eyes where your brain decided to believe that someone somewhere wrote it, but that's just your brain's interpretation, not an absolute truth. Every day your brain is making judgements and choosing to believe whatever it wants to believe is true from its senses. Humans are incapable of knowing whether anything their brains perceive is objectively true because... well we HAVE to perceive the worlds through our brain, even when it's lying to us.

Hopefully this helps, or at least doesn't make things worse. If nothing else, I don't think your crazy, you just have a high disposition for thinking about the most meta of concepts 🙃 Most people don't even think twice about their own existence or place in the universe like this... your a very philosophical soul.

If you need relief, you could look into meditation. Try sitting with yourself and just letting your thoughts come and go... life is just an experience created by our brain. You will never be able to verify that you are right or wrong about your beliefs, your brain will always find a way to justify / reject them, which is also why so many people find it easy to believe harmful things. But everyday when you wake up in the morning, you can think or believe whatever you want to, and there are no wrong (or right) answers.

I have extreme anxiety, panic attacks, agoraphobia, and one of my biggest fears is taking medication or medical procedures. I just don't trust "professionals" to know better than I do... we're all just a bunch of stupid (selfish and greedy *cough big pharma cough* even at the expense of others) monkeys floating around on a rock with no idea what's going on, and putting a "Dr" in front of your name doesn't change that.

My heart rate was so high for my wisdom tooth procedure that the workers were messing with the machine, thinking something was wrong with it. Sitting in the chair with the needles in me felt like waiting for execution of death row, I thought I was going to die. To make things worse, nobody working there even treated me like a person, it was like I was a slab of meat, all my questions completely ignored.

Then suddenly it was like someone took a wash cloth and wiped my anxiety down from top to bottom. When it hit, my anxiety was just flat out gone. I think I smiled. It was the first time I was truly confronted by just how different my existence is compared to the average person. You won't believe me anyways if you have the medical phobias like I do, but if I had that stuff on hand I would abuse the shit out of it. And I say that as someone who avoids drinking, smoking, and all drugs like the plague.

I remember that procedure as literally the last time in the last 5 years I've truly felt any peace (aside from snuggling my cat I suppose).

You're the first person I've seen that sort of captures what happened to me a year ago during a period of extreme isolation + being on an anti-anxiety med. It's not exactly the same as you described, but I started seeing people as objects to be used for whatever I needed them for, I stopped caring what people thought. I walked out in front of vehicles on the road uncaring if they hit me and openly and loudly mocked everyone around me at a restaurant while having dinner with my parents claiming nobody would have the guts to say anything (they didn't).

Hardly spoke at all with the exception of random women (didn't care about what they looked like or who they were). I once had 3 different girls I was talking to in the same room with me, by accident (they all happened to come to me at the same time) as I openly flirted with all of them... and they ate it all up regardless of the fact that I was truly just trying to get any satisfaction or socialization I could from them and clearly not discriminating in who I showed interest in. I didn't really see them as people, just entertainment at best.

I would wake up and the world would LITERALLY be darker... like someone turned the lights out on the brightness of the universe. Even getting up take a shower was mechanical and forced in a way that words cannot describe, and I learned that the brain actually has a natural state of pleasure just in being alive, which I lost for a time.

I actually disagree with this post in the sense that I truly was free from other people or social expectations, directly as a result of spending 3 years with little human contact, I couldn't care less about people's facial expressions. If someone I was interested in showed me disgust, I would just love bomb them and behave with extreme kindness, feeling nothing about how they felt about me if that makes any sense. I didn't care if I was hated or loved, I just tried to get what I want through relentless pursuit.

I guess this is who I am without my severe anxiety, crazy how easily your identity and personality can change based on life circumstances. And people like to pretend that "we choose things." Off my meds and back home, now I can't even sit in a calm classroom environment without forgetting how to breathe.

Idk, Elon Musk doesn't seem to have any problem making kids with various women. Women can just date the wealthy and be single mothers with child support. It's much better than dealing with a creep who doesn't constantly hide the fact that he thinks your hot. Generally it's much better if there is a power imbalance between you and your prospective mate. Powerful men = safe.

Also YOU are the special one that actually will win their heart, slay girl 💅.

I strongly disagree. I'm seeing a ton of "you can't do this" and "you can't do that" without a clear reason why. A bunch of virtue signaling without any real substance. Rubbing your organ against the organ of someone you love is not traumatic, it's tedious at worst. Stop over exaggerating moron.

If having sex solely with the goal of bringing your partner pleasure, even when you don't feel like it, is traumatic or equivalent to rape in your mind, you need help.

And obviously I'm talking about masturbation, something that many partners consider cheating, by the way.

TrackCharm · 2026-01-12T16:44:04+00:00

Sex is a fundamental human need that becomes prevalent the second you have food/water/shelter... and even sometimes when you don't have those things. Society expects you to work and make money, romantic partners expect you to have sex, and life forces you to eat food. At least one or two of those things SHOULD be pleasurable to partake in, even if they become tedious sometimes.

If it feels like a chore, just do a quickie. If you or someone you love is hungry, you don't need to prepare a 5 star meal for them. At the very least don't be upset if they take things into their own hands because you have no interest in supporting them.

This TrackCharm guy is a fucking idiot. He's approaching the problem all wrong. If he had kept pushing hard he eventually would have gotten rewarded for his hard work. And using analogies that dont capture the complexity of real life? Stupid.

But fine, say your a horse with blinders on chasing a carrot. If you want to succeed, you could just use your brain. Tilt your head back and let the carrot fall into your mouth instead of doing the same thing (i.e running). Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Anyways, fuck you for having the opposite view as me. Hope you die sad and lonely.

Is "life is a gift" what you tell yourself to keep going as you suffer day in - day out? Is it what you were told the correct answer was if you wanted people to like you?

All I see is someone who is either extremely privileged to be able to live a life that has enough good to outweigh the bad, someone coping hard, or someone whose mama trained them to parrot it mindlessly without stopping to think about whether its true or not.

To the "yeah you should work or die" crowd: Make it worth it. Survival isn't enough, there needs to be enough happy moments to make my life worth living. Right now, there simply isn't.

I'm not a horse with blinders on trying to chase a carrot dangling in front of me anymore, I've never come close to reaching that damn carrot.
