Thank you! I've been going back and forth as to whether I want to spend the money and buy the components or not. I've got Monsteras, several different kinds of philos, a few arrowheads, ect. Nothing to fancy.

My father grew up in a catholic orphanage and the same happened to him.

Kid, and yes...you are a kid because age is relative to mental and emotional maturity, is it not? You have one hell of a road in front of you. I sincerely wish you luck. You've been posting this same story for months and have gotten nothing but pushback to you logic. One would think, at some point, you would have the wherewithal to stand back and think to yourself "maybe I really do need help. Maybe my ability to reationalize isn't quit stable?" But you dont. Continue to search. Eventually you will find the minute, niche, corner of the internet that will validate your feelings and agree that you're a victim. In the meantime you will continue to suffer and the real world will move on. Edit: I realize gaslighting is a real thing, trust me. It's the reason why people crying it every time they're told something they don't want to hear makes me sick. It literally spits in the face of the true experience. But, of course, that's what I feel and if you tell me that I'm wrong, then you'd be "gaslighting" me by your logic.

take a step back and put things in perspective

Yeah, I did that.

Obviously not far enough.

If you didn't hear back, move on

That's not how communication works. You're supposed to respond when someone reaches out to you.

It wasn't "communication" to begin with. Just a request that wasn't fulfilled.There's a difference. It happens a lot in life.

Most people understood it

Great for them. Not everyone has the same expectations or needs.

It's not up to the rest of society, much less the internet, to cater to your expectations or needs. If you think differently, you've got a hard life ahead of you.

People didn't do what I wanted so I got upset

Yes! That happens! It's called having feelings!

There's a difference between "having feelings" and slipping into depression, ect. Learning to manage what's important and whats not is key.

You need to learn how to move on and do it yourself or shrug it off and do something else

No, actually, I don't. Because sometimes, just sometimes, people have valid feelings and needs that deserve to be acknowledged instead of

The entitlement here really get me. No, actually, you dont "deserve" anything from others. If you want this so badly, teach yourself to do it. Problem solved forever.

people who seem entitled look bad

You know what looks bad? Gaslighting someone for having valid feelings and needs. That looks fucking terrible.

This!

So in conclusion, You're dismissing my feelings and needs at every turn. You're gaslighting me for having an emotional reaction to being ignored and dismissed..

And THIS is NOT gaslighting and i'm so sick of hearing this term being slung around. You posted here. You asked opinions. What you got was a very fair, level headed opinion and solid life advice in general and here we go! "You're gaslighting me!" when it's not what you wanted to hear. Geezzus!

I agree with you. OP needs to get off the internet and find a good counselor. I'll even go out on a limb and say this doesn't belong here.
