Hourly updates with asinine stuff like "went grocery shopping and got low-fat milk because I'm trying to be healthier, go me!" Most people's lives are not interesting at all, and trying to make a mundane errand sound like anything more than just a mundane errand is so incredibly narcissistic it's hard to believe.

It's like Sturgeon's Law cubed: 99.9% of everything is crap.

True. And to be fair, I mostly avoid Facebook because it just feels hollow and useless. It's just a big pissing contest across the internet of "look at me", but nobody is actually doing anything interesting.

Unless you're a rich celebrity your life is probably normal and relatively uninteresting to most other people unless you're really close friends with them. Donald Trump posting an idiotic tweet has entertainment value, but nobody cares that I got a new smartphone.

You are right. People post mundane poo poo because they get gratification from the fact that if they post it, others read it. Which makes them feel more important than they are. Why do they do this? Because they have formed an unhealty obsession with being special instead of accepting that we can't all be a Kardashian, Bono or Trump.
And ALL social media tap I to that never-ending source of self-advertisement.

People simply don't realize it is ok to be normal and that that doesn't mean your life is boring.

You know the lovely part? I would, unironically, let a dude crash on my couch for a few weeks to get back on his feet if I knew he was cool.

I nonironically enjoyed reading "Legend of the 10 Elemental Masters" even though everyone else around me thinks it's either horribly badly written or plain crazy. There is a real attraction, to me, in a world that is constructed with the sort of logic that Ulillillia puts together, and in reading his website I personally relate to many of his mental experiences, phobias, and difficulties. Sometimes I wonder if I am simply closer to him on the OCD spectrum than most people, since many times I don't feel 'normal' at all despite being what most people would consider a functional, successful adult.

How many people are there around you you can talk about this stuff with

(I had no idea what this was about until I saw the word "Ulilllillia" and even then I was just like "oh it's that thing I don't know"

Her twitter only has like 3300 tweets too, I guess he might have made a typo of 4k when he said 40k, otherwise that seems like such a weird thing to lie about.

She is better looking than the last one he posted at least though.

In a much better place than I thought I could be. I hit a rock bottom that's too painful to talk about even in a 'fesh, but the essence is that I saw clearly how I was destroying the relationships in my life because I needed to be drunk instead of dealing with my problems. I'm working the AA steps, confronting my own issues and not blaming my problems on anyone else. There are still times I white-knuckle it, particularly on Fridays, but I'm learning how to have some control over my chaotic mind.

Now, I'm going to insert the standard 'fesh is fake' disclaimer. But on the off chance it's real... Hubert, you're a loving idiot to fall for this 'person'. She's a soulless, plastic machine designed to hoover money from men's wallets.

Take the $500 you were planning to 'tip' her and spend a night with an escort. It will be lot more satisfying, and you'll have something to show for it.

Don't forget while relapse isn't required, it's often part of recovery. Try to stay sober, but if you gently caress up, call your sponsor asap, don't tailspin into a total disaster.

I can understand what drives someone to, if they are such a broken loser they literally can't find anyone else to talk to them in real life. Or it could just be they want constant validation and never want anything they say to be challenged and want to be told they are the best customer/person with the biggest dick they ever saw, etc. I'm pretty sure as long as you tipped a camgirl enough you could get them to agree with you on anything, even if you started reading Mein Kampf to them or something. Having a real personality isn't profitable, they just become the type of girl you want them to be. So while the fesher might be getting the sweet innocent act when she's talking to them, in the very next private session she's probably someone completely different.

The more I think about it the less sense I can make about falling in love with one, but if you look at how guys talk in rooms like the one he linked it seems like he's not the only one. The only way it makes sense to me is if they are putting on an act too because of some weird fetish thing.

It's not really any different from a dude that falls in love with a stripper. They're mistaking the con for genuine interest and affection, rather they're choosing to believe the lie cause it feels good.

Took a quick scan of her Twitter. I feel it's telling that she isn't smiling in any of her pictures. Little smirks, but no big proper smiles. "Come see me tonight on Camwhorez, it will be so much fun!" with attached deadpan picture.

sending this in cause it's past midnight, I'm loving tired, and don't even give a gently caress and want to vent.

I have a friend who is a gently caress-up. I care about them, but god drat it's hard. She's transgender, her family loving hates her, borderline as gently caress, suicidal as hell, purposely got herself injected with Hep C because she wanted to self-sabotage, and just general all around crazy person and too old to be doing this poo poo.

given her circumstances, this is honestly expected since we both came from hosed up backgrounds and i got out by sheer luck and she didn't. anyway she's been escalating with worse and worse stuff and apparently decided to cut her arm open so deep it'll need stitches. she needs to go the hospital, but lives out in the middle of nowhere, and doesn't want the cops called on her because she thinks she'll suicide by cop, and the police in her area have a reputation for murdering the mentally ill, especially black folks (which she is). i know because she constantly links me articles where they do this poo poo because lol the south

I can't drive her because I live out of state now. Hospital won't send down an ambulance without police saying it's okay (and was really pissy about it but i understand where they're coming from), I don't want to send down the police because there's the chance she'll traumatize both me and some cop when she pulls a bloody knife on them and they shoot her. i told her i wouldn't call the cops if she got her grandmother to drive her to the hospital tomorrow. but promises don't really mean much with a crazy liar in the midst of a mental breakdown. plus if the cut was as bad as it looked, i'm worried about infection since she can't staunch the flow. and i'm left in the position where i get to go to sleep tonight wondering if my friend is going to be alive in the morning or not because i didn't have the loving balls to make a decision.

I'm too loving old to be dealing with this poo poo, and i'm just banking on this being a crazy meltdown but this is the first time she's gone slasher on herself, the first time she's asked me to call an ambulance, and the first time she's said she was going to do it. so gently caress

probably won't respond unless she kills herself in which case i'll feel lovely for the rest of my life about it, but more likely than not she was dramatizing and will go back to destroying her life over several years instead of all at once like god intended.

Unlike most confessions about a 'friend' this one really is a friend, but if it's too close to suicidal thoughts or whatever feel free not to post it. I don't care, I'm not looking for input, won't get input in time anyway, and just wanted to vent. 90% chance she's fine and just doing what borderline people do anyway.

Every once in a while we get one where the only possible response is "yikes"

yikes

and yeah the suicide rule is because we don't want this thread to be used for suicidal ideation (especially since goons would probably be like "YEAH DO IT") but talking about other people with self-harm issues is ok as far as I know

Also got this next one via PM (which is not really how it's supposed to work but ok sure)

(subject line was Cambodia which I think is supposed to help with the context)

quote:

I helped out plenty of homeless people and starving people.I also hung out at "Heart of Darkness." Do what you want with that...

From what I can tell Heart of Darkness is some type of nightclub in Phnom Penh. It is apparently notorious in some way that none of the top Google results want to outright state, but it does have a 3.5-star rating on TripAdvisor so it's probably not like a crack den or anything.

I dunno this one would probably make more sense if you know things about Cambodia :shrug: Maybe there's lots of hookers there or something?

I believe a goon took me to Heart of Darkness when I was in PP awhile back, but it could have been one of any number of nightclubs. All I know is that he went to go buy a round of drinks and my brain decided it was time to find a quiet place to pass out. I spent the next hour taking tuktuks up and down the street my hotel was on unable to find it because little did I know they shut the front gate at night and you had to bang on it to wake up the dude sleeping in the lobby to get back in.

Anyway, the nightclubs in PP probably have a lot of freelancers or girls who will ask for a "gift" if they go home with you but from what I can tell Heart of Darkness is hardly the kind of place where you'd instantly assume something shady was going on. There are way worse places in South East Asia than a popular Cambodian nightclub.
