I hate this feeling. Talking about it sort of helps but dang man. Is everyone living life with a feeling of dreadful bleakness all the time or are there lots of folks out there who are happy as heck? Cuz when i hear of dudes like bordain offing themselves i imagine they are living feeling sort of how i am right now. This empty void like feeling. At least i have a reason to be upset, my life is kind of crappy, but when you are rich and have everything going for you and you still are not happy i guess things could be worse for me.

This is the longest i have ever gone sober in my life. (Besides my youth)

Today i woke up around 10am and feel really good. My folks are on vacation so i got the house to myself and i am just chilling. It feels so good not to have to worry about hearing my dad screaming throughout the day. He almost always has a meltdown every day. At this point though i stay with the folks because it helps them survive and live a comfortable life. Thinking of myself before has gotten me nowhere.

Anyway, i hope to be off these psychiatric meds by sometime next year and make a full recovery so i can get back to work and actually be able to do things i enjoy. I will have 0 debt by then pretty much. I guess life aint so bad.

Have you considered just giving her YOUR number and letting her decide if she wants to date you? That is probably the most appropriate thing to do. She can get in trouble at work for giving her number out to you during her shift. Just slip her a piece of paper with your number on it that says you would like to take her out somewhere and for her to text you. Done. Maybe she will text you back, maybe not.

Good luck.

I'm bipolar too. Type 1. Those 24-36 hour days suck.

I don't, lol; as I said, I might be sociopathic anyway. I have far more qualities of it (according to the APA, anyways -_-) than just full-time NEET; I must say though, that perk is nice, and the more people get angry at me about it, the happier I'll be. :P

Are they understanding?

I feel that, save the work thing >_>. Right now I'm trying to get SSI so I can do just that (travel; I'm decidedly aromantic, and a possible sociopath really shouldn't be dating anybody anyway). I'm having some trouble getting an autism evaluation as an adult, though, but I share a ton of symptoms of Aspergers. I already have like two official diagnoses on my medical record, so adding one or more can't hurt my success prospects.

As I mentioned before though, breaking through bureaucratic red tape is hard.

Yeah the folks are understanding. I get ssdi so i pay rent and my phone bill. I am just trying to be there for my folks now who are old. I do not want children and unfortunately that does not attract the opposite sex much because most woman i meet nowadays want to settle down and be stay at home moms and expect me to provide a lavish lifestyle for their lazy asses. They do not seem to care that i am miserable, depressed and lonely they just think that because they are my gf it will all magically go away.

Dude you gotta make friends with the staff or something like that to get on their good side otherwise theyll never give you free money. Dont expect much btw but at least you will get the best health insurance. This year i am thinking of getting my teeth fixed.

I was just ranting about how psychiatrists will hear some kind of trauma and instantly try to gaslight you, same with therapists, as if they have not gotten picked on or gone through anything traumatizing in their life. Its all bullshit. I am not saying the traumas one endures are insignificant, i am saying as you age you naturally develop a thick skin and psychiatrists and therapists specialize in breaking people down and exposing their biggest weaknesses often times causing more damage than actually fixing. That is the business they are in, they are in the business of exploiting emotional trauma. Fuck them.

Have you ever been to group therapy? Medication doesn't help at all. It weakens you. Those with mental illnesses have amongst the highest psychic strength and psychiatrists know that so when they see someone with tons of potential they quickly put them on crutches and convince them that there is something wrong with them often citing irrelevant things like negligent levels of substance abuse and insignificant childhood traumas.

He's only two years older though. Having a big man who's as fast and capable as Ronaldo is huge, generally bigger is slower/tires faster/less eloquent with the ball. But Ronaldo doesn't have that issues, and if you can bull your way through people and stop them with size it's a big big deal. As a physical specimen, Ronaldo takes it. Because football is such a finesse sport, Messi has this huge leap up because he has that extra layer of finesse and has a really great mind for the game.

We're talking degrees here though; these are thin layers and what makes them different is approach to the game. You can't doubt Ronaldo because when he's on a team it completely changes them, same as Messi. Ronaldo relies more on his ability to bull people than foot finesse to steal for example, but their reflexes are probably pretty damn close, their eye is pretty close, their accuracy is near spot on.

Messi seems a more like a thinker and Ronaldo is more instinct. That's what I get from watching them play, at least and I don't watch a ton. Messi takes advantage of openings and circumstance, while Ronaldo creates them because he can bull people over, tall af for the sport so can nab headers and would make a great defender etc. It's a different style.
Messi is more a master of the art, but it's a sport and inherently physical and Ronaldo is the better specimen. The results speak for themselves.

It is an interesting comparison indeed. It is pretty cool that this era of soccer has 2 of the greatest players to ever do it, speaks volumes about one another. If one did not exist the other would surely be the goat by a landslide. It makes the discussion very interesting.

Pele won 3 World Cups.

Messi won 0.

You could argue messi could have 2 WC right now 2014 was crazy close and 2018 france vs argentina was crazy close too, i feel like we got the final match way earlier in 2018 as france and argentina were the best teams.

Messi also got 2nd place at the last copa america, which was close as heck too.

I mean his control over the ball is insane. It's going to go where he tells it to go, and his short passing is insanely accurate. His feet do magical shit. I think from an assist perspective he uses being marked to an advantage rather than a negative, like we saw in the last game. That attempt near the end with that beautiful little cross *mwah finger kiss*

HOWEVER

Ronaldo can bully people. For a football player he's huge, he's as tall as Ferdinand 'The Strong' lol. He can stand there and take anything, height for headers, really accurate crossing and he can just barrel through you. As a physical athlete he's superior.

HOWEVER

Messi has the finesse.

I think yall can feel very proud after that last game. Messi repp'ed the country very well :)
I mean it's a great team but without Messi? They're going to struggle against a lot of teams.

I think in soccer physicality is not that important, as you can see messi is a fraction the size of ronaldo but seems to be the superior soccer player when it comes to actually playing the game. Like, if you scaled messi to ronaldos size messi would murk everyone lol both guys are good, messi is op with the handles and i guess cristiano is op as a fantastic soccer athlete. I think cristiano is older so i dont think he is gonna get any more opportunities at the ballon d or whereas messi has a couple more years at the top with no real competition.

One of the best, not sure about GOAT status.

I mean if it was not for ronaldo he'd have like 10 ballon d'or which is nuts. He is definitely better than ronaldo by a landslide, the strategy for argentina in 2014 where they got 2nd in the world cup was basically pass the ball to messi...i have never seen a strategy that revolves around a single player work so well. Same thing cannot be said about ronaldo, although one could argue argentinas national team overall is better than portugals.

Oh well.

If a person's life is that messed up for them by retirement age, then that's just their choices that they've made in their younger years catching up to them.

Everybody wants to party, but no one wants to do prep work, nor the clean-up.

Dude most people barely get by every month and live month to month, it has nothing to do with partying or making poor decisions, there are simply only a certain number of spots at the top, i think it is only 10% of the population who makes over 6 figures a year so you are incorrect in your assessment. Look at the wave of evictions right now, look at the housing crisis right now, these are not people who did not plan things out it is people struggling to survive and get by every month. This is not taking into account the mental health problems people face from the perpetual higher demands of worker productivity since the entire system is designed to make more out of less, then there are health related problems that occur as well throughout a personslife. Just because it has not happened to you does not mean it wont and given your lack of ability to empathize all the stuff that happens to people throughout their life like their parents dying or spouse dying or children dying...it makes no sense to have such a cruel and brutal system.

I am also fairly sure the average person cannot retire at 65 to a senior home due to low income.
