i'm so fuckin' wacked out there's nothing good that can come from anyone associating with me, so isolating myself from the world is my good deed for the day/week/year/lifetime

old beast lunatic posted:Humanity is a failed species and no individual person should ever feel good about themselves. Help others realize the truth that the earth is screwed, god is dead and your children will piss on your graves. namaste Very, very hard to argue with this. That said, empathy, man. Empathy. A little goes a long way. I've noticed that I've become more empathetic over the last 20 years or so. I like to think that taking even just a few seconds here and there to try and see things from someone else's position makes my life and theirs just a tiny bit better. I fail at this plenty, but I'm getting better little by little.

I feel like I have less empathy with time. Gonna become a gun owner soon (j/k). I don't feel like anyone has ever been empathetic towards me but maybe it's because I'm a jerk. Although, when feeling alienated I always find people in this forum that share my sensibilities, like this mofucker right here Sleeveless posted:The way you become a good person is by spending your 20s arguing on the internet in pursuit of the one true correct opinion and then spend your 30s descending into abject misery as a result of that lifestyle and be lost so deeply within your own head that you think your personal failure to find satisfaction and meaning in life is actually you realizing that one true objective opinion about the universe and then wear your nihilistic misanthropy as a badge of enlightened honor.

Is there anyone you've hurt that you think would be so happy to find you are being nice to them? Like can you make it up to someone you've been a jerk to? It would probably mean a lot to them.

It would probably mean a lot to them. Honestly I can feel pretty good that I've never really done anything bad to anyone. The worst is that I'll lash out at some poster on the forums (im gay). I think deep down that I believe I'm a bad person so I avoid people, so I don't hurt them. thanks for the thoughtful advice

Pontificating rear end posted:Ah I just meant that maybe I push people away before they have a chance to help me out, or something like that. Well, I empathize with you. And i know someone that feels that way, too. Be careful - you can manifest your fears. maybe tell yourself you are a good person more... you deserve better than that. I bet you're better than you think and when you mess up (which we all do) people can be very forgiving.

Does it drive anybody else crazy when they see themselves making the same mistake in life over and over again? Like feeling stuck because you keep doing the same loving thing.. and maybe its your biggest life lesson and if you could just learn it youd finally get everything you ever wanted..... Has anyone here been able to finally change or fix something in themselves after making the same mistake over and over? Its as simple as making a different choice right? Id really like some thoughts on this...

I have an easy time liking and trusting most people. It's easy to be good to other people because of this. My weakness in this instance is that I'm too accepting and sometimes let scumbags get away with stupid, mean poo poo. I would be a horrible prosecutor. Society needs variation when it comes to being good and doing good. I have a nice life due to liking other people most of the time. But I do see the drawbacks. Conflict ain't my thing and sometimes, someone needs to take a stand. Usually not me though.

Like feeling stuck because you keep doing the same loving thing.. and maybe its your biggest life lesson and if you could just learn it youd finally get everything you ever wanted..... Making different choices is not easy. Otherwise you would've done that already. Everyone gets stuck sometimes, so you are not alone. Most coachibg/therapy or similar attempts at helping someone change usually starts with analyzing the problem and identifying what specific factors make the pattern repeat. Thereafter attempt to deal with them, by careful preparation and trying different approaches to see what works and not. It sounds easy but it is not, since it often means going against evolutionarily important emotions which in dysfunctional behavior patterns are motivating unfortunate behaviors. There are different schools of thought on what causes the types ofpproblems you describe and what helps people change, but all start with analysing the problem. It is often helpful to write down what happens descrpitively and without judgment, since problems tend to be a jumbled, confusing mess of memories, thoughts, feelings, behavior and relationships. It's hard to see what causes the pattern to repeat otherwise. Sorry if this isn't what you were looking for. I work as a psychologist, so I might see things too much from that perspective.

I love the sense of self satisfaction I get from other people telling me I'm good and liking my poo poo. It's like that episode of seinfeld where jerry helps that struggling Pakistani restaurant out by just going there and ordering food, and he has that internal monologue where he's like "pfff, gently caress yeah. I rule". It's great, cause you really do try to help people but only cause you're a big narcissist rear end in a top hat. The key is to feel bad when you're a *bad* person. That's the tough one.
