I used to be the kind of autist who could spend a month alone without speaking a word. I would get so much done on my own - reading books, working out, watching television, all of it. Well, a couple of years ago I did a large dose of LSD and I think it rewired me completely, and not for the better. After the trip, I had no trouble communicating with others. I could finally join my friends in conversation and not be the one in the corner who pipes in with the occasional one-liner. I even started talking to strangers in public. All of that sounds nice and all, but it became addictive, and I'm still the same person I was before the trip. The things I love and get meaning out of are all things that involve sitting in a room in silence. Now I have this unshakable anxiety whenever I'm not around other people, and it's driving me crazy. Things were manageable in the year before covid when I could be a social weekend warrior after a week of seclusion, but quarantine has me locked up with all the things I love but none of the energy to appreciate them.

I know, anon. But I am also a human, and beauty won't last forever. If I have the joy of resurrection, I doubt the joy of intimacy that really draws out beauty will still exist.

Beauty shouldn't be something unnatural, that needs to be maintained. Perhaps in another world, it will be a fact of life. As for now, we have to find beauty in ugliness so that we are prepared for beauty and being beautiful in the hereafter

Does the degree of collapse truly matter, when the world as you've always known it is disappearing? Once it becomes unrecognizable, you end up finding yourself in a new place, and as the process unfolds, you can see whether that place will be something you feel you could live in. If you sense that it won't, shouldn't you fight back against it?
If you define things this way, I suppose you could argue that the world is constantly collapsing, constantly being broken and remade, and that we're free to choose whether to embrace this process or resist it. But is "not choosing" a choice in itself? And most importantly, is it a choice one can live with?

How can you know if your mother loves you? Is love tangible? because I don't feel anything. I am almost certain my mom has been taking medication for some kind of depression for a considerable amount of time. Does her brain work like mine? Is this lack of love-feeling hereditary?

I like to believe there is something more profound to love, some subtle attraction or emotion, some pheromone or magnetic/electrical signal given off by the heart.

But you can tell just from behavior; sometimes people are cemented in their old behaviors, and hurt you. But aside from those moments, if there are moments where she kindly approaches you, hugs you, calls you her son, acknowledges her bad behavior (if any), apologizes (after a wrongdoing), how can she not love you?

Is it that you do not feel anything, or that she does not give out anything? But if medications are at play here, I can't speak. You must still love her, however.

Your mother loves you. But the ways she has loved you throughout your life has shaped your own capacity and experience of what loving and being loved is. That's mostly nurture and some nature. It sounds like you identify with her in her distance and coldness; but it also sounds like you can question whether there's any love between you and within you and recognize that something is off. Some people are so blinkered by their upbringing that they cannot see that.

I dreamed we were in this bungalow by the sea, and all the windows were open but the shades pulled down and we could feel the breeze from the coast. The light was low and golden, but dark and shadowed inside the house. It must have been morning or dusk. We were older, but still young - 30s, I think. We were naked, but it wasn't exactly a sex dream. We kept embracing and touching each other in familiar ways after our long separation, and talked about how our lives had drifted but had been brought together here in this place by the sea. We loved each other again. The dream ended when I pulled a shirt on to walk out and join her on the porch looking at the sun over the waves.

My job is to either sit or walk for 12 hours a day 3 days/week. I work "security." This series of buildings is corporate, and as I work the night shift, there are typically a maximum of 5, minimum of 1 persons in each building. I get paid ~$1,000/paycheck and live well within my means. I suffer from major depression, and thoughts of suicide and homicide battle each other to try living rent free in my mind. I often see no way out other than death, but if I am to follow the golden rule (do unto others as you would like to be treated) perhaps then I could free others from the same problems I face in my day to day life; offer them a treasure I cannot possess, and perhaps one day be freed myself by a judiciary. I have lots of real, honest, non-superficial friends whom I keep at just a far enough distance that they would be wary of me, but not so scared that they would stop hanging out with me. The closer I get to any one of them, the more I reveal to them the facade I live - though at this point, they enjoy my casual company so much that they simply live in blissful ignorance that one day I might snap. Or, that's how I think of it anyway. I try to avoid thinking as much as I can.

Someone asked me a question, I just said "no" and stared outside the window until he walked away.

19. I've worked a lot of jobs, had a fiancé who dumped me, parents divorced after dad came out as gay, tried the military but I got kicked out after another recruit in the medical platoon told the drill instructor I wanted to kill myself. While walking the halls of this concrete prison, I often fantasize about getting on a buss late at night, paying in cash, and riding it to another city with nothing but jeans, a hoodie, a face mask, and a knife, finding a homeless person, and ripping him to pieces. If I were careful enough, I could ditch the knife in a river after cleaning it off, get right back on that buss, and go home without any leads on me. It wouldn't be hard. The only thing I honestly have to live for is my cat, who I love dearly, but is staying with a friend while I try to move to a place that accepts pets. I was supposed to move yesterday, but the guy I was moving in with got his new bed sent to a different state, so it will be at least two more weeks. I would love to love again, but everything is just hopelessly numb, and I don't see how any girl in my life could like me. I feel like I've been through so much, but I have so much longer to live and just don't know how long I can last at this rate. Luckily, I don't have any addictions like alcohol, drugs, video games, etc. I hang out with friends nearly daily, but it never feels like enough.

That night I met these dutch guys who taught me how to sell porn on the internet, and that was my ticket to major income to fund my life...

I don't know what to do. I'm so unhappy these days. I just feel overwhelmed by everything.

Exactly one year ago, I was broke, unemployed, living with roommates without even a car. I was so free. Now I have my own apartment, a nice car, and even got a promotion for a new role I start next week. And yet I feel like killing myself now more than ever. I've acquired so much more responsibilities, and I don't know if the trade-off is worth it. I mean, materially, sure, if I told my past self how much I would accomplish in one year I wouldn't believe myself.

But now it is all just too much. I wish I can just sleep and not wake up. Or, maybe I will wake up tomorrow and find myself back in that dingy little room, to my unironic janitor graveyard shift instead of the white collar office job. I spent so much time at that old job watching movies and listening to podcasts on the clock, now I can't even open an extra tab without someone else knowing.

I am just so unhappy and its all my fault. A lot of people and now depending on me and I don't want to disappointment them, but at the same time, I'm dying inside. I can't relax at all.

Okay i will pretend you are of equal status so i can reply to you with the minimum amount of irony. But principles as a term has a bigger reach and they extend outside morality. Morality has no principles is just a behavioural code that midwits thought of, yet that doesn't mean a being that acknowledges is unethical. Deep down you know what is good and what not, and no matter what ethical principles you claim to follow, all you care about is having a clean consciousness. So let's get rid of your pseud shit and get to the actual stuff that does matter. Principles are a set of rules according to which you chose to live your life. For example a perfect principle to have, which that zoomer didn't, is this, if you do something then make sure you do the best you can. No half ass jobs are appreciated.

Once in a while I used to dream about my ex as well. But one night, I had a dream where we were together again. It felt happy for a moment. However, near the end of said dream, she confessed that she still loves me. For some reason, that made me lucid. It all came back to me why we broke up, why I don't want to have anything to do with her. At that moment, I stopped and said, "You know what you've done and yet you say that. I was a fool to believe you, I won't play that part again. Don't ever show yourself in front of me again". As she walked away, I woke up from my slumber with my eyes on the ceiling, almost refreshed.
Ever since that dream, I haven't seen her in my dreams nor can I even think about her anymore. Sorry to latch on to your post but I just wanted to let it out.

This is one of those situations where it is genuinely worth reminding yourself that other people do not think about you as much as you think about yourself. If they are strangers - who cares? Even if they were people that you knew, they probably would not care. But especially since they are strangers, they have probably already forgotten you.

I am more familiar with agape (or perhaps philia--brotherly love) than eros, romantic love. One major point about it is that this feeling transcends its object and extends to the whole world as a kind of benign acceptance of everything and an understanding that all is well. It dissolves a certain existential loneliness and besides perhaps the detached aesthetic contemplation of nature seems to be the only experience that can do so in a manner that feels fully healthy and untainted.

I sit in between walls wicked with wither. Tethered sandman strands that I know will never ultimately be. I watch the walls warp around me like brittle blades edging closer, ever closer, to my skin hair. Microslices pile to many. Slices that entice vultures to tend to me. God doesn’t make decisions nor does the nature it created. Its creation simply acts without regard for life, ethics, or fairness. My misfortune manifests as a test of psychological endurance. Why endure? Why fall for novel flavored lures? Why not just fall, fin loose, into that final deep? Into that final sleep? There’s nothing ahead of me except ashen hills. A reflection of my ashen will. Turn me into that static life that’s simply still. Cover my mind with plastic, with the unbreathable. Watch me peacefully drift. A path I’m fine with. The only romance I’ll find is that final coalescence of entropy and order. The only romance I’m a part of. So I’ll let entropy rip me apart. I’ll watch them waltz over my withering corpse. I’ll watch them elope and be together over my evaporating blood. As a hopeless romantic that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make. The ultimate sacrifice.

Not him but narcissism is insecure because it's overconfident. If it were secure, then it would just be confident. Narcissism often involves grandiosity ("I could do that, I would be awesome, but I'm not going to do that, because being awesome at the thing I haven't tried is beneath me") where narcissists avoid things that will give them a concrete measure of ability. If you stay at home watching sports on TV, it's very easy to tell yourself you would do better; it's very hard to tell yourself that when facing a real life professional team. Narcissists are painfully insecure and they're over self conscious. The reason why they care about you knowing they are better than you is because if they don't tell you, you might think they are normal and the thought of that kills them.

It's usually a deeply ingrained coping skill. You can replace it with better coping skills, which might make it easier, but whether they start to feel secure isn't guaranteed and depends on why they feel insecure. Kids who don't have good models of attachment when they're growing up often feel really uncomfortable with normal, because they can't deal with the lack of emotional stimulation.

I had a period where I was coming out of the cocoon so to speak and I was punished for it badly so I've retreated completely and I'm deathly afraid of showing myself.

Guarantee this idiot doesn't have any kids. There are far, far better fathers out there that don't live with their kids than there are 9-5 depressed wagie cagies with a fat wife, his life leeching out of him, zero time for himself, paying all his money to his wife, leaving him with enough for a cuckshed in the backyard. Meanwhile, the wife wants the newest Prius so she makes him trade in his Mustang so they have an electric minivan and a new Prius. Then she tells him that he'll have to pull some OT because she wants a cleaner to come every weekend. He hasn't fucked her in months and the stress has this guy doing fucked up shit like hooking up with other men from Grindr in his garage at night. This is how men become downlow faggots, because they become so trapped by what others expect of them that gayness is their only way out.
