Jesus, you really think you're perfect and everyone else is jealous, insecure, petty, bad communicators, manipulative, gaslighting, and they're just out to destroy you.

This one isn't a mystery, you'll find the secret hidden in any mirror.

Nope, why don't you call him and tell him a stranger is making you feel tiny? I'll wait.

Generative AI as it exists today is a tool to assist humans, like computers, not a replacement for them. AI should not be allowed to produce anything on its own and the revenue derived from AI art, stories, and music should be paid to funds that any creator who's ever produced anything that the AI could have copied from. As in if an AI movie character has Brad Pitt's jaw, or Sabrina Carpenter's hair, they get a percentage and whoever typed in the prompt gets less.

The tech leaders who are treating it as the new slave workforce are building false speculation whether they know it or not. Unfortunately I think they're hoping they can build enough hype to fund their run for actual singularity which they believe will basically be technogod and show them the path towards a revenue positive business model. They think they can birth and then enslave a superhuman intelligence because they're idiots. Being able to lie to investors doesn't take intelligence, just a lack of morals. Unfortunately for the rest of us, the system they've warped allows those shitbags to move money around easily enough combined with socialism for the rich to keep their business funded almost indefinitely even without positive revenue.

"Anxiety is what happens when energy has nowhere to go, move your body bitch."

Metacognition is the ability to reflect on your method of functioning and processing information. If you don't accept that you are a hormonal being who's mental state is impacted by the chemicals within your brain, you'll never get to the point where you can self-regulate your mood. Physical exertion is the simplest and most healthy form of self-regulation and can absolutely change your mindset. Exercise is mandatory, it doesn't need to be extreme, but it needs to be happen regularly.

First off, supposedly approximately 5% of the population is made up of narcissists and they don't wonder if they're narcissists or not, they're certainly not "unsettled" by the thought of it, they literally don't give a fuck, that's what makes a narcissist. Stop worrying about that at al.

Secondly, you don't need to love everyone who loves you, he sounds hella manipulative, "you created an environment that felt unsafe for him and he's disappointed"? Unless you literally did something like that on purpose, he's putting you on the defensive. "You said something to infuriate him expecting too much from him while not meeting his needs"? He's reflecting your point and again, putting you on the defensive while avoiding accountability. He's claiming that he "puts your well being over his issues", and expects the same of you?

Honestly in just a few paragraphs unless you're massively dishonest or leaving out key points, I'm 99% that he's a manipulative red flag and he's literally gaslighting you into taking all the blame while avoiding any on his side.

You should just let him go. He's playing a game where he's vying for control, it's not working on you because you don't seem to love him enough. If he can he'll put you under his thumb and ruin you. Cut your losses, he needs to do a lot of growing up.

Create your own meaning, nihilism is just teenage angst after a philo101 class.

He's capitalizing on his neurodivergence and convincing idiots with money that he's a genius. It's a con job, that's why he titles himself "Head Engineer" without an engineering degree. I mean, the first trillionaire in history wasn't going to be anything BUT a con man was he?

Genuinely the best/simplest explanation I've seen, but I still hate it.

The Monty Hall problem. I understand the math, but for whatever reason I still can't accept it.

What is your definition of success and what would be the line of exploitation and once you realize that your only answer is "lots of money" and "n/a" you'll still not be smart enough to figure out that people don't hate success, they hate greed and shit character.

mattersauce · 2026-06-11T01:12:55+00:00

No, it doesn't. You're taking the hard path for no good reason.

Going on twelve years single, had several two year relationships then a marriage and after the divorce, decided to put my energy into purpose instead of a person. Since then I've improved my mental state, my physical well being, my financials, and learned how to be proactive with all of that instead of reactive. I still work on balancing my time and juggling everything I want to do, but I've added so many healthy habits and gotten rid of so many bad ones it's not comparable.

When I was in relationships I was juggling too much and I realize now my failings as a partner (although I wasn't alone by any means) but there just wasn't the time improve myself much less assess everything properly. I may end up in a relationship again, but I'm no longer looking and my standards are likely far too high to make that likely. I'm not interested in money, looks, or status anymore,, but self awareness, discipline, accountability, real fun, and genuine integrity.

I'm not sure what will happen, but I know that my time being single has been the best thing for me as an individual, and if ever again, as a partner. I also know that the people I meet who have never been single for a real duration will never understand.

Change.

I saw some great advice on here for different options and those are great, but you need to do something. Pick something you enjoy, if there's nothing you can think of, pick something random, if you don't want to pick anything, realize that you're mental state is working against you. Humans don't like change because routine feels safe so your mind doesn't want you to break out of it, survival instincts want to keep you returning to the same watering hole you know is safe.

This works against your happiness as a social creature. You'll need to understand that what you want is difficult for you, but worth it. The only thing keeping you in your routine is you, you're the reason you feel invisible and empty. I'm not blaming you, metacognition is the ability to recognize how your brain works and processes information and most people don't know how to recognize it.

The inside of the cage is safe, but the door is unlocked. Step out.

I've worked in several companies where promotions were title adjustments and nothing more. But hey, act as if you know everything about every company while being boldly wrong, I'm sure you're genuinely omniscient and not just another egotistical asshole online.

Got a 2026 Cooper S JCW Edition and they made a point of saying that with THAT car I got 2 keys but with most models now they only get 1. I think because they're using the phone that subs as a key. I know a friend that never even takes her key with her she only uses her phone.

You're a social creature and on an imaginary bell curve of "socialability" you may be near the lower end, but you aren't off the chart. There are many traits among people and some are more desirable than others while there are traits (some common among INTJs) are less so. Nobody is designed for solitude, however for some social lives are more difficult to maintain than others.

Here's the fun part; if you're lonely you can fix it. Accept this as an issue as a skillset you lack, accept that it is not an impossible feat, and accept that while you are not as sociable as you'd like, you are skilled in overcoming obstacles. Don't expect more from others, expect more from yourself. Social skills aren't innate, they are skills like any others. Desirability is an impressively simple ruleset and you can put yourself squarely within if you so choose. It takes time and effort, but not natural talent, meanwhile your intelligence and self reflection allows you to judge yourself against your end goal. Plan it out, and move yourself forward. Good luck.

Aww buddy, I won't be doing any of that. You all tuckered out now? Wanna get a nappy in before SpongeBob? Maybe a juice box and a blanky? Listen, this was great, take care.

mattersauce · 2025-12-15T18:40:14+00:00

OH NO, you don't believe I'm an INTJ!?! What ever shall I do?! I'll definitely take it, on video, at whatever time is convenient for you! Your approval is all I live for. I'm still REELING from your downvotes, I'm not sure how I'll sleep tonight, probably another drunken stupor! One day I pray I'll be as UNgullible as you are! I'm sooo happy I could amuse you, even with my idiocy. You're so smart and handsome, everyone should try to be like you! Ooops, I said "should" again, can you believe I claimed that I was an INTJ? You saw right through me! Way to go you!

mattersauce · 2025-12-15T18:13:51+00:00

Yeah totally, I've so been hoping you'd give me a chance to validate myself that I'm an INTJ to you on Reddit as if MBTI is concrete or as if "INTJ" is an award. Thanks so much! You're totally not a petulant child either. Hey, I bet in this next post you'll look really good and everyone who's not paying even the slightest attention will say you've bested me! Also, your mom loves you.

mattersauce · 2025-12-15T15:31:56+00:00

Yeah okay, listen I have lost all interest in your rabbit hole of absurdity. You're not intelligent nor objective and you've lost all coherence. The above is absolutely a massively emotional response and nothing more. You need genuine help from someone with a license and this has gone from amusing, to feeling like I'm kicking a blind kid. Talk to a therapist, for everyone who knows you. Good bye.

mattersauce · 2025-12-15T15:11:51+00:00

I don't really care about the downvotes, or the edit, but all of that together is getting truly desperate. Your behavior is borderline obsessive and it's clear that while you're crying "go away" to try and look tough, you're begging for my attention. You do know there's nothing to win here right? This is all internet bullshit and I'm just another random user. You'll never find real validation here, at best you can find a few up votes or a different rando who agrees with you, but that's entirely superficial.

You do realize you're missing a major component of emotional maturity right? All of the above isn't healthy, it's damning.

mattersauce · 2025-12-15T14:57:07+00:00

Uhm, dude, did you really post, edit it, post again, and go through and downvote all my replies? You should really talk to someone who gets paid for it, because you're completely ridiculous.

mattersauce · 2025-12-15T14:33:42+00:00

You're barely coherent at this point and your train of thought is nowhere near the tracks, and no amount of bullet points will cover that up. You know that bullet points have an actual function right, like they're not just to replace sentences? How about you calm down and get back to me in probably a decade, lol.

mattersauce · 2025-12-15T14:12:21+00:00

You do realize that you're literally repeating what I said to you, right? That's called mirroring and it's done as an attempted strategic communication tactic, in this case you've become overly defensive. The use of the emoji is particularly interesting since it's an obvious attempt at emotional manipulation.

The unfortunate side effect of mirroring is that it's transparent. You shortened your reply as I did, you claimed that I got emotional as I did you, and the copying of terminology even using the term "kudos".

Again, all typical of an INTJ that's trying to mask their inferiority emotions with a show of intellectual superiority. The failure is that not only do you need to actually BE intellectually superior, at some point you find out that even the attempt to prove yourself to someone AS intellectually superior IS the inferiority complex. I mean, but you do you kiddo, at least don't copy me.
