  • I get all of that. I understand it rationally. It doesn’t get easier to be understood by literally no one. It’s so fun to get asked “where do you see yourself in the future?” Or whatever similar question someone has and surprise them with the ol’ “what future?”

    Seeing that question break people’s brains makes it much easier to understand why no one believes that we could possibly destroy the world through climate change. “But it’s always been here. It can’t END. Don’t be silly!”

    Their brains don’t even see the possibility of their own deaths. Not really. They’re scared of death in the vague sense. Not the specific sense. Their death. Their end. They truly don’t believe it will happen, deep down, even under a lot of people claiming they do.


  • Jokes on you, I do exactly this but still tell everyone I meet exactly how depressed I am (the answer is very) and why. I have very good reasons and data to back it up. I explain it very calmly.

    No one really gives a shit. Either they don’t believe me or they think I’m exaggerating. Or they believe me a bit and then burn it from their memory the second I leave their sight. When I say there have been just a few days in my life where I did not ACTIVELY long for death, they don’t seem to really understand me.

    So weird.






  • I find it interesting that your position is that mens lives are free from repeated stresses. Yes women have menstruation but you seem to be implying that that is the only reason for someone to be emotionally unregulated. Maybe men are just literally emotionally unstable by default. If there is a genetic predisposition for emotional dysfunction are men still evil for not being able to control their emotions? Do we know everything there is to know about the human mind or physiology? Because I don’t believe we do. It is certainly interesting that there is such a mountain of evidence that men cannot control their emotions in the same manner as women but the response is always and only “suck it up” and “it’s societies fault” and never “perhaps there is a deeper reason.”

    Additionally and more on topic, the comics talking about one dude personal experience. Why have you generalized it into being descriptive of all men. Sounds like misandry.
