They say that depression is rage turned inwards. So what's the solution? Turn it back onto the world? Get rid of it entirely?
If it were only that simple. Sometimes you learn things that you can't unlearn. Sure, you can take drugs to destroy your memory and slow down your logical mind. But that's not a long term solution and the side effects are not worth it.
So what do you do? Do you go berserk on any offending parties whose mere existence makes you feel like old school Vegeta? I'm not talking Columbine level shit here, but words can be harmful too. Why do you think people use them so much?
Why do people try to protect themselves from perceived harm anyway? What are you so afraid of?You're not gonna die if someone hurts your feelings. So you wrote something that people didn't like. Maybe you got a few nasty comments by someone with a higher post count than you.
Big deal.Is a few seconds of anxiety after reading their comment really enough to prevent you from creating something that you will be proud to show people in the future?
You're willing to throw away your legacy because of a few haters who are too scared to clearly express themselves, so they try to bring YOU down?
Lame.
Oh the irony
Besides, chances are that most of them are actual real-life losers anyway.Don't believe me?
Take a look next time you get some over-the-top negative criticism from someone. Are they actually someone whose opinion you would value in real life?
Or are they just an angry, unaccomplished, hunchbacked creature who tries to pop your balloon because of their own uncontrollable self-hatred?
I wonder.
Really, what are you so afraid of?Is it because you think that people will laugh at you? So what?
Of course they're going to laugh at you. You're a fucking joke. Look at you, pretending to be something that you're not. Obviously faking it. And even more insulting is that you're not even good at faking it. Do you really think they're dumb enough to fall for that shit? Please.
No, really though. So what?
Do you know how much effort it takes to learn a foreign language to fluency? You need to learn a new alphabet, new vocabulary, new sentence structure, tonality, accents - AND you need to learn it all well enough so that it all comes to you effortlessly when you want to use it.
How long do you think that takes? You don't think people are going to laugh at you for saying you love cock when you really meant to say pass the butter?
And don't give me this shit about "oh well actually all languages just use the same 600 words most of the time so you just have to learn those and you'll be fluent.
"No.
I mean yeah, that might be true, but that's not fluency. That's conversational. And that'll get you good enough so that people won't laugh at you all the time. They'll just laugh at you sometimes.
Fantasy, tragedy, and redemption
"Oh but who cares what people think, right @yallapapi? It's all about being yourself!"
Come on. The JBY meme is so played out. What is this, The Notebook?
Give me a break. Nobody wants you to be yourself. They want you to fulfill their darkest fantasies. They want to watch you do the things they don't have the guts to do.
They want to see you take a chance, to go from nobody to somebody and then get torn apart by a raging pack of hyenas after some Kevin Spacey-esque transgression is exposed.
But you know what? They still want to see you back again. We love redemption, because we secretly wish that we could redeem ourselves as well.
That is of course IF you have anything to be redeemed FROM in the first place.
Do you? Are you a bad person? Have you done bad things? Do you still do them?
What is "bad" anyway?
Dude, too philosophical. Keep it simple so the head injury victims don't get too confused. Your posts are at least the length of like, I don't know, 6 Twitter captions. People have shit to do. Those one-line comments and excruciatingly fungible Buzzfeed-esque SEO optimized trash articles aren't going to just write themselves. They can't be wasting time watching you fire a gun at your imaginary friend near 400 gallons of nitroglycerin.
Time is money.Please.
These idiots wouldn't know money if it took a shit on their front door. Really, you want to take advice from people who unironically think the value of Steem is tied to the quality of the platform?
