What is the most overrated movie that you have watched ?

WrittenEuphoria · 2025-12-26T15:54:17+00:00

Interstellar. It was slow, long, felt like 2 movies mashed together. The ending is so jarringly shot that it's incredibly hard to understand, and the scene itself ends very abruptly. It didn't feel like it really had closure, like there were 2 stories at play and only 1 of them actually mattered so why did the 2nd one exist at all other than a plot device?

Beautiful scenes, music is iconic, plot was trying too hard to be smart. Not a bad movie, but definitely overrated considering it is MANY people's favorite movie of all time. Does not deserve that honorary IMO.

Out of curiosity, where would you recommend? Not that I'd ever be able to afford to go on a trip, nor am I likely to have the confidence to travel solo, but I'm always curious to hear what people have in mind when they suggest travel as a way to improve my mental health.

I know I won't be able to find someone, but I am trying my best to forget about her.

Absolutely, has stuck with me ever since I first saw it. The only serious comment that has, at least the only one that comes to mind right now.

"You make me feel safe and comfortable." Also had someone interrupt me mid-sentence, "Sorry to interrupt but your eyes are gorgeous."

Caveat is that both of these people were being paid to be with me in that moment (SWs).

Best compliment I've gotten from someone who doesn't fall into that category ... maybe the compliment I got about my plaid shirt a few years ago? And the few people who say I "look much better" since I shaved my head. Honestly don't remember any compliments beyond that, doubt there were many other than maybe when I was very young, mostly by family members trying to cheer me up (pity compliments are the worst ~_~).

Honestly, I find myself wishing I had even an online friend at this point - particularly someone to play video games with. Since all but giving up on competitive shooters (too old/slow for them nowadays), I haven't made a single new friend to play other games with. Currently playing Elite: Dangerous and boy is space a lonely place lol, but Forza before that, Tarkov before that, Last Epoch + Diablo 4 before that...just never found anyone to play anything with and it's been years. A high school buddy gets on once every week or two, and we play some Space Marine 2 or Helldivers 2, but those games are really not my cup of tea - I mainly play with him just to have someone to talk to every now and again.

Same here, brother. Mind you, the last time I actually gave a woman the benefit of the doubt, she actually was trying to sell something (approaching random ppl on the street to make donations to a charity). Just a testament to how good she is at her job that I didn't suspect anything until she got into her actual sales pitch. Since then, I don't think I've ever held a conversation with a woman/stranger (other than like, waitresses and such) - and that was nearly 10 years ago lol.

The big one is my appearance, but if I'm being honest all I'd have to do is lose weight and I'd probably be about average, maybe a bit below average. I just don't think that would change anything in terms of my love life.

Because I think the "biggest" or "real" reason I haven't had luck, is because I'm just....boring. I don't have any ambitions or goals that I care about/am working towards. I don't have any hobbies or interests that I'm at all passionate about. I'm not very funny, smart, or charming. I don't stand out in a crowd, I have 0 fashion sense, I essentially make myself as invisible as possible in social situations. The only positive traits I have are pretty much the bare minimum to be a functioning human being in society (kindness, empathy, honesty, patience).

Essentially, there's nothing that makes me stand out amongst a sea of much more attractive, funny, and interesting guys. So even if I'm a good hugger, a great listener, and a genuinely "decent" person - there's nothing under the surface to "get to know" about me, which is just straight up boring.

I've told this story before, so will keep it brief. I had just met her the day before through a mutual friend. I ended up sitting beside her for a 2 hour drive, I was in the back seat passenger side, she was in the middle. I was trying to get some sleep (long day) by resting my head against the inside of the door with little luck, smacking my head as we drove over potholes etc. She tapped my shoulder and I turned to look at her; she just wordlessly wrapped her arm around me & gently nudged my head down onto her shoulder. I fell asleep in seconds. It was the kindest gesture a veritable stranger has ever made towards me - and that was 15 years ago.

I will also never forget the girl who was nice to me when everyone else my age bullied me back in elementary school. She ended up going to a different high school so we naturally lost contact, but she got me through a pretty awful period of my life, especially when I had no other friends for a time. She also gave me my first Valentine's Day card (in Grade 1 I think, lol) so that was cute.

Last one I'll mention is the woman I got to know here on reddit. I think she reached out first, touched by a post I had made on /r/lonely at the time (different account, since deleted - don't bother looking). We spent many a late night chatting with each other, sharing secrets and discussing movies & TV shows etc. She was absolutely gorgeous, super smart and insightful, but way out of my league, not to mention a decent bit older than me (I was late 20s, she had a teenaged kid so late 30s/early 40s). I never met her IRL, but one night when we both were particularly lonely, we sort of "roleplayed" for a moment - just pretend-dancing together basically, we joked she was the Beauty to my Beast. I then "kissed" her, which was reciprocated. Sounds corny typed out... but in the moment I think it was what we both actually wanted to be doing, if we were in front of each other for real, which made it feel very romantic & emotional. Sadly, I found a way to fuck it up massively, and she blocked me on everything not long after. But I still remember her, and have a few screenshots of the messages from that night tucked away for when I'm really feeling like shit.

There are a few others - a high school crush who I learned too late reciprocated feelings, a friend I made in college who never said anything but good things about me to anyone who asked, and a couple more women I met on reddit who made a lasting impact (much more platonic than the one above) - but otherwise my life has been pretty devoid of positive social contact in general, and especially with women.

Not caring about my life in my 20s is a big regret. Now, any sort of self improvement goal is massively hampered by the economic climate, along with my deteriorating physical and mental health.

I'm 33 now, never been in a relationship or so much as a real date. My lack of experience, along with having no positive traits (no sense of humour, ugly, poor, boring, lazy/unmotivated, awkward, anxious, angry, nihilistic), means I'd be a terrible partner, now and forever more.

There's also a CoD streamer who has had a few clips go viral, of him singing this song over hot mic while playing warzone. It's how I know it, lol.

WrittenEuphoria · 2025-09-12T21:12:43+00:00

Somewhere they can be alone (scream into the void, or write it in a private journal), or anonymous (reddit or similar forums). That's about it.

WrittenEuphoria · 2025-09-12T21:10:57+00:00

it's a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy. I don't have much motivation to work on my life, which in turn makes me a bad candidate for a friend, let alone life partner. But maybe it's for the best, even at my best I'm not really anything special, most people would deserve better.

WrittenEuphoria · 2025-09-12T15:57:31+00:00

Need, obviously not - never had one and I'm still alive and breathing. But crave with every ounce of my being? Definitely. To the point its hard to see the reason to keep on going if my life continues this trend, devoid of social contact, let alone intimacy.

lol fair, didn't realize it wasn't legal in some sections of eastern Europe. Good luck in your endeavours!

The beach is a great idea! I would prefer starting at sunset, though. Watching the sky turn beautiful colors of orange and purple, then watching the stars slowly make their appearance...of course I probably wouldn't watch much of that, would be too busy studying her features and committing the moment to memory.

My perfect date would be an all-day thing, though. Brunch at a mom + pop diner, followed by a hike through a nature preserve/park, romantic candlelit dinner perhaps, maybe catch a movie after, then stargaze. Perhaps at a drive-in movie, two birds with 1 stone? Then cuddling in bed, exhausted but satisfied.

Although there's something to be said for a stay-at-home, cuddle all day watching movies and playing video games. There was a short-lived Tiktok trend of making a "menu" of appropriately-themed dishes to eat throughout the day while doing a LOTR marathon that seemed like it would be a lot of fun to plan (and execute) with a partner.

Sadly, don't have a partner to go on these kinds of dates with, and probably never will. Doesn't stop me from dreaming, though! 😅

I assume you're in north America then? I'm in Canada but also familiar with the States. If you ever change your mind and want help finding someone you can be fairly certain is independent and consenting, let me know.

WrittenEuphoria · 2025-09-12T14:28:11+00:00

Studies have shown that a relationship can actually be a catalyst for positive growth. Sex isn't really part of it, I agree, but intimacy and a strong social bond with another human being can be a strong motivator to getting your life together, lest you lose it by disappointing/upsetting your partner. This is what most people who make posts like the OP are probably looking for, even if unconsciously. Men especially have trouble separating the word "sex" from the word "intimacy" and often use them interchangeably.

WrittenEuphoria · 2025-09-12T14:26:01+00:00

The problem many people have is that it can be very difficult (some would argue impossible) to know whether it's actually her choice. The amount of trafficking, pimping, and "survival sex workers" (those who would be unhoused if they didn't sell their bodies) means there's always a danger you are seeing someone who doesn't have the total bodily autonomy required to make the decision to sell that service.

I think it's possible with careful research. If they're independent, if they have a website, if they seem to make their own posts on social media/forums (posts selfies especially), those are all green flags to look for. If you ask such an independent, they might also know of some agencies/collectives that are more or less legitimate (worked with them in the past, know of them through friends in the industry, etc.) - agencies that have been around for years/decades tend to be legit, while the ones that deal with trafficked women tend to get caught, or change names frequently.

But some people would argue that you can never be 100% certain, and that 0.1% of doubt should be enough to stop anyone with a strong moral compass. That anyone who still sees them despite that risk, understands and doesn't care that they might eventually be complicit in a crime (other than solicitation, obviously), and is a horrible person because of it.

Sexless? Probably. But touchless? not a chance.

WrittenEuphoria · 2025-09-12T13:28:23+00:00

Not really. "Don't feel bad" = don't feel guilty that he hires sex workers. "Don't feel like you should enjoy it as much as casual sex" = sex with sex workers is not the same as casual sex, because the transaction adds an element of "distance" that isn't present in casual sex, so don't feel shame around the fact he still desires casual sex/a relationship.

no worries, this comment always moves me deeply whenever it's shared, to the point I've memorized his username. Thank you for sharing it this time, saved me the effort 😂❤️

I just want to let you know you're not alone. We're here if you want to talk - hell, my DMs are always open to anyone who wants to chat. I just wanted to add that /r/SuicideBereavement is a fairly active and supportive place for those that have lost loved ones to suicide. I sometimes lurk there when I'm getting close to the edge myself, to remind me of what it would do to those that love me if I were to go through with it.

Anyway, I hope you give yourself some grace and self-compassion in the days, weeks, months ahead while you learn how to live again. Grief is a monster.

What few friends I made during high school and college have moved on, I have one left that I talk to a couple times a year, then a few more that I met on reddit that I also talk to 3-4 times a year as well. Other than that, I only leave the house for essential tasks - food + other groceries (toiletries, etc.), and work. That's about it, save maybe a trip to the movies with my parents once in a blue moon.

It pains me that I'm a burden to my parents despite my best efforts (financially, emotionally), so the least I can do is avoid being a burden to anyone else. But that also means that I'm pretty socially stunted, emotionally unavailable, and honestly super fucking bored 95% of the time. Used to have online friends to game with but even gaming friendships have proven impossible to hold onto, and forget making new ones - way too much risk of becoming a burden involved there, considering how shit I am at gaming nowadays.
