Several. A few in the way of "everything was going alright, until you decided to double down on stupid bullshit". Cryptobros come to mind as a whole archetype of this exact kind of person.

Some of them just stayed hosed up until they died.

A buddy of mine married and had two kids with a chick that turned into a huge junkie that couldn't even bother to show up to her custody hearing. She's been in and out of jail and sees her kids maybe once every other year. Addiction is a motherfucker but I knew she was bad news when I first met her.

I met a dude who crashed a golf cart with me in it on the job. He was already on probation when we both got hired and he was dead about two years after they fired him. I don't actually know why, but he was an opioid user before prison so I'm guessing that

I ordered luscious new gemstones from India and made new earrings for my SA mart thread

Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread
I let a bad boyfriend ruin my life. The worst part is I knew he was a bad guy but he was exciting and vivid and great in bed.
I wish I was exaggerating but I'm not. :(

I went pretty hard trying to gently caress up my own life so I'd have an excuse to opt out. Sadly for past me I didn't do a great job, and am now doing pretty well in life for the first time ever and it's pretty nice :)

I watched a lot of people over the years gently caress up their lives. Watching people do it now, knowing exactly what's going to happen cause I've seen it over and over and not being able to say anything because they won't listen. Someone I vaguely knew recently ostracised themself from their entire friend group for someone they are infatuated with, someone who is clearly not thinking about the long term. They got engaged after knowing each other for three months. You know it'll go poorly.

I had a former housemate who decided that they'd try and live the high life while being unemployed, buying poo poo they couldn't afford and racking up massive debt. They also nuked their friendships because anyone who questioned it was attacking them. They're now under a fucktonne of debt and no one to bail them out.

And lastly, another person who became so creepily obsessed with another friend, to the point of sending love letters on facebook shared only with them, and then deleting them as soon as they were seen, trying to get into any sort of social event they were at, etc etc, and when they didn't reciprocate attempting to tell everyone that their love was evil and abusive, despite them never wanting to even be near them. Unfortunately for them everyone was watching this unfold with eyes not fixed solely on their obsession, so it just became another nuked thing.

I've seen way too many people who double down over and over, and it starts out as the smallest, dumbest thing, until they end up deciding to move to another city because they are known as far too toxic. Having to start your life over, because you can't admit you might be wrong.

It's pretty funny after a while tbh. Sad, but kind of funny.

I do not wear this mask to protect me. I wear it to protect you from me.

Had a friend and his wife rack up massive debts via credit cards shortly after they got married. The new stuff was beat up and broken and I'm not sure they ever paid off the cards. They go from church to church begging for help. They join, get to know people and then lay out their sob story. Once they get something they move on. I have no idea where they are now. He had slightly more brain power than a potted plant and I don't think she was much better.

guy i knew sold meth to a cop and after he got out he got hisself killed trying to board a moving freight train

e: that was a tough funeral because he had a LOT of friends in common with me and I wrote him off the first time I met the guy. Very good looking, charismatic, seemed intelligent but I guess I could sense something was off.
