i know everyone who goes on that god forsaken site is a whiny bitch but at a certain point you got have some self responsibility for lacking a social life.
Reminds me of a colleague of mine who complains about not being fun anymore and also saying that if there’s a knock at the door everyone in the house goes into stealth mode (including the kids!), if the phone rings no one answers, when they get something delivered (and that happens often because they get their groceries delivered) they prepay so they can ask for it to be dropped on the porch so they don’t need to have human contact…
I feel like returning to the office might actually be good for them…
soo not to get too deep into it but as an anarchist i think working is really important to ones mental health. Of course working a job that doest make u wanna kill yourself is key and doing something u can at least semi enjoy helps so fucking much but in this capitalist hellscape thats a really fucking big luxury and that makes already society inept people into a someone who goes on 4chan.
But at the end of the day they ultimately make the choice to not talk to anyone. They could start small like actually talking to a cashier and working their way back up from their. They could call someone. If you just silently put yourself into a corner and never make an attempt to better yourself i dont know what to say. Ive been in the deeps of depression and i know its hard but you have to make some effort on your own somewhere.
i got deep into it, yap sesh concluded
I haven’t identified as an anarchist in 30 years but I’ll tell you this. What you described is basic humanity and we all agree with you.
i just dont wanna be mistaken for a pull yourself up by yer bootstraps asshole. Lifes hard and so is happiness, however thats not an excuse to surround yourself with hopeless malice and not pur any effort in being a social being which is what humans are and need to be unfortunately.
I think about this
Im a slightly more active introvert, so I masquerade as a extrovert and adopting other introverts.
So many people in here are assuming the OP on 4chan is massively depressed and being sarcastic about the “Yup life is good” comment. Kinda seems “extraversion-normativity” in here.
Many folks are “over-socialized” too.
Four years without contact from another human being is not healthy, doesn’t matter if you are an introvert.
Pretty sure that’s how we got the unibomber
I think that had more to do with the government intentionally breaking him, psychologically, as part of MK Ultra, while he was in college. The isolation probably did make it worse though.
I mean hiring a prosecutor from Boston to disagree and personally attack him definitely did not help
That’s why it’s so important to me to:
- live in a big city where you can go in bars or cafes and just listen to human voices
- live in a shared apartment
- “study” at university (mostly for the human contact)
- work physically, i.e. supermarket
