I don't know it yet, but I'm working through it.

I can hold a job but I routinely destroy relationships. I recently read "adult children of emotionally immature parents". It was really helpful to understand what's going on and why, and using that with my therapist has been extremely helpful

More importantly the constant chatter and whinny CRT harmonic. I can't wait until cooling fans are gone and I can't even tell if my laptop springs to life at three in the morning for no reason.

You can't imagine being a child that could easily hear any tv or monitor running anywhere but no adult in the room could.

Yes, I've turned off task scheduler and set power options to not allow wake timers, it doesn't care.

Or we could take their heads. Eating the rich is a legitimate possibility.

And it kept evil conservatives from taking the senate, so it did some good. Too bad it couldn’t have kept them from taking the house too. And they’re not personally doing better, middle America is living in 3rd world conditions and thanking the oligarchs for their scraps. They’re absolutely stupid and evil to vote the way they do.

And they deserve every bit of hardships coming their way. And the empathy on the side with the educated folks is falling by the day. I wouldn’t be in favor of a single federal dime spent on the cleanup in Ohio. Vote for deregulation, deal with deregulation. Hopefully their kids end up sterile and take care of the problem for us.

Please tell me the secret. I'm 34 and have been in therapy for years (different therapists) working really hard to change and while I've made some major breakthroughs, I'm having trouble with the adult aspects like keeping a full-time job. Health issues contribute but I feel like I'll never be able to get out of this cycle.

Those “moronic things” are what things they call dear. Their families, their wealth, and their lifestyle. You can’t be mad at them for wanting a better life and succeeding, but now you think it’s ok to bash them when they are prioritized over you? Get real, there’s 7 billion people on this earth, all with parents, grandparents, and ancestors.

The small amount of people you’re talking about didn’t kill themselves off enough to have a continued effect you think is beneficial. Being mad that rich people do rich people things is like getting mad it rains. We can sit here and argue blue vs red all day, but that doesn’t change the fact that we have problems caused by all of this tomfoolery.

No the system has problems because of the morons. Look at intelligence and education level breakdowns between progressives and regressives. Regressives are literally destroying the world with the moronic things they hold dear.

Never going to be able to fix anything while millions of morons in red states vote against their own best interest in favor of enriching the wealthy. Just look at Ohio, they literally voted for deregulation and then got shocked when they got derailment.

The world would immediately improve if all conservatives died off. Just look at the states that went blue solely because enough conservatives got themselves Herman Cain awards during covid.

It also works the other way around. Those children who never got to experience childhood often have adult expectations of their own children, and then when those children become adults, the trauma of their childhood seems to lead many people to revert back in maturity level because they feel like their childhood was stolen from them by their asshole parents.
