I regret existing (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 3 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I regret being a child with hobbies like every other child. Every hobby was some stupid Exquisite Talent that I had to be filmed and shoved down everyone's throats for. Everything I enjoyed was only for the smartest intellectuals and I had to be filmed and interviewed for that as well. I literally was the equivalent of Elon Musk and Trump, everyone was so tired of hearing about what random mundane thing I accomplished this time. But I was also the asshole for wanting to be normal as I'm passing up a rare privilege everyone else wished they had.

I also regret losing interest in everything and being a literal zombie staring at walls when I wasn't sleeping as that was proof I had some stupid disorder and needed help. I really should have just been euthanized instead. All lives do not matter.

Everything I had was ruined. I can't get into anything new without feeling like scum. Tried getting back into an old game I enjoyed and it just made me abysmal.

Are there any hobbies that come with no status, that don't make me look smart, talented, rich, or otherwise better; are not creative, and are not immersive or childish enough to be associated with a stupid disorder? Or am I really doomed to live a life where I'm addicted to working and sleeping?

Work with a prodigy in a field of your choice. There's always somebody better. Pretty soon everything you do appears mediocre.

I am mediocre at everything I do. Society views it as the best thing to ever exist. Just doing the thing at all feels horrible.

I'm not getting you. On one hand you say you're like Elon musk and trump and everyone is interested in what you do next, and in the other, you say you're mediocre. Maybe you should elaborate on your disorder so I know where you're coming from.

I said they were sick of having everything I did shoved down their throats. I was bad at everything and everyone agreed. I did not deserve the attention. I was misdiagnosed, I don't have that shit, and at this point I don't even believe in it. No one has that shit, it was invented as an excuse for the nazis to euthanize inconvenient kids who had no disorder.

Ok. So this is just a rant then. Hope things work out then.

Doesn't single player gaming fit? Or board games?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Single player games and family board games are childish and/or associated with that stupid disorder. All the other board games are pretentious and associated with smart people and are uncommon enough to be associated with that stupid disorder. Playing one of my old favorite single player games was triggering enough for me to make this post. I give up. Nothing is fun anymore.

Is that the way you feel or think others feel? Or is that what people are telling you? Cause none of that is true based on my personal experience. No one thinks I'm childish for playing games. Especially because nearly everyone plays something these days. And the only thing I've ever experienced with board games is people telling me they don't like the kind I play. Most people don't even talk about board games, let alone how they view others that play them.

Your experience could be different but if people you know talk about these things that way, you should find some new people.
