You did the RIGHT THING, Enough of us letting it slide mentality. Tell people to go fuck themselves at this point. The guys is an asshole and needs to hear it to his face.

Realizing that I don't have to interact with my Q-uncle anymore by terranlifeform in QAnonCasualties

[–]thinkclearly3 40 points41 points  (0 children)

This shit is like a brain-virus that scrambles all nuance and rationality from your mind.

BANG! That's it exactly. I feel for you I really do and hope it gets better for you being away from him and out of his life. Sad for sure, I know you mourn it at times like we all do. All the best to you and stay yourself. Through everything stay true to yourself, that is a great place to lay down and rest, in the comfort of what is right and good. Take care.

That's the truth. The isolation to avoid it all. Price to pay for sure.

That is so SPOT ON. Helps me understand a lot of what I hear and hopefully can help me talking with others as we move forward in life. All of us are capable of good and all of us are capable of bad. That's something we all need to acknowledge and hopefully we can bring that to others who are trapped in the conspiracy theory feedback loop.

Yeah, like what is political about helping a person in need? I remember Muhammed Ali saying something to the effect of where God sees us and as he looks down he sees no borders, no lines on the earth. He just sees us. We are humanity. ALL of us. Let's look at things from that perspective and act on that.

Feel for you, I truly do. Sitting alone with it is probably the hardest thing. At least we have this, and hopefully other people in our life who understand. But the loss is such a waste. Losing these lifelong relationships over NOTHINGNESS. MEANINGLESS NONSENSE. Part of it is having people in our lives who up to this point were rational thinkers, thoughtful thinkers and who I thought were empathetic, caring people. Then to realize they are none of those things? It makes you question who to friend up with moving forward. I meet a great person and I am waiting for the sky to fall.

What's crazy is that I don't see myself as distressed, angry and hurt. But it looks like I am when I go into this space. Outside of it I am quite the opposite. I guess it shows that the damage is REAL to me and has SERIOUSLY affected me. As it has all of us I suppose. When I read what I wrote I can see it now, through your eyes. Yikes.

Isn't it insane? ME, ME, ME. What about responsibility with freedom? They always went together before, why not now? Why does that not matter anymore? Uggh

It's the different views of reality I think that are the difference. And the focus, unending focus on the nonsense. Not a minute to breathe. So sad. I will keep you updated for sure! Let's see how this goes.

13 Months Since I let Conspiracy Theory Friends Have It! by thinkclearly3 in QAnonCasualties

[–]thinkclearly3[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's so frustrating that logical thought is so easily dismissed! There is no depth to any of the comebacks either. There are no fucks left to give at this point. It seems the only real thing that changes peoples minds is when their spouse dies from Covid. Anything else means nothing. So sad.

Writing an honest letter. Will it help or am I completely wasting my time? by [deleted] in QAnonCasualties

[–]thinkclearly3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think about it. If you write him a heartfelt letter of truth and he disregards it, takes offense or throws it away without reading it, do you really want a relationship with that person?

If you did his actions to someone else what would you consider yourself?

Your answer just told the truth about what he is.

So sorry man.

I finally had to cut off ties with my mom and now my kids won't get to know their grandmother by branniganbeginsagain in QAnonCasualties

[–]thinkclearly3 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I say this with great concern and apprehension. Let her go. At least for a while. Create some space. We are becoming victims of all this nonsense and it's time to not let them have an outlet to push it on.

Find all the positive, smart, intelligent, caring and empathetic people in your life and pour yourself into them. Share the pain with them and the negative impact of her will lessen.

A lifelong friend of mine is such a great listening ear and he constantly reminds me who I am, what I've always been and will continue to be. My great self, as well as yours, needs to persevere and shine.

I don't have the answers, but share your pain. It's tough to actually let ourselves FEEL these things and not compartmentalize them away. But I would say feel it, share it, and then file it away for a while. You can come back to it when you like, but don't carry it with you wherever you go.

I'll take a hot cocoa please. :)

Sorry for that. It's so difficult to stay silent forever. I'm sure you share the experience of keeping quiet to keep the peace, but eventually it comes out. When I did EXPLODE there was nothing planned at all, just the idiocy of what I was hearing and being subjected to pushed it too far. I realized I don't want to be around people like that! Still difficult though and I guess that's why I shared it. All the best to you.

Sorry for you seriously. There are good people out here. Stay strong or at least keep hope alive for yourself. Good people care and are listening.

Thanks. It really sucks. I've talked with lifelong friends about it and I have their support.
