Organized sports.

Loved sports and playing as a kid and was exceptionally gifted at basically all of them I ever tried. Ended up loving a few and before I had a chance to understand the vast difference in joy vs. occupation playing them through college.

Looking back, I didn't enjoy any of the school sports from jr. highschool onward. I still loved the games and playing and practicing on my own, the sport itself, but the organized "competitive" part of it was awful full of horrible adults and structures and painful situations that ate up an enormous amount of time.

I could have played recreationally for 2% of the time and still have enjoyed myself just as much and still loved the sport. The sports-industrial complex in the US brainwashed me into thinking their path was the only way to continue with my love of the sport.

Some friendships be like that. Usually it's the case of me going out of if my way to help... Only for then to purposefully make terrible life choices.

Examples,

He was just out of jail and wanted to get on track. I got him a place to stay, a job, I even personally moved him (like drive, picked up his stuff), and got him an interview with the college. The choice, fuck his perole! Drinking, meth, and knowingly getting a warrant for arrest (to impress the ladies... And it worked) was way better.

The list for her, would be too much as we knew each other for like 28(?) years. She's a mom of a disabled teenage daughter. She thought it was a great idea to get into a relationship with someone she knew was a convicted child predator. I just cannot abide. (I called CPS)

Looks at everything. Looks at the sun expanding. Looks back at everything.

Yes, I do believe so

Nope. I usually drop it well before that. Then go back to it for a few minutes or a day. Then drop it again. Rinse and repeat

Yes.

My anxiety beast says hi.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Absolutely every day... Sadly. Maybe it's just my anxiety and ADHD. But yes.

Fitting in society. I might as well say society doesn't fit in with me.

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

How did that one go? Being well adjusted to an ill society is not a good thing.

Almost every job I had prior to realizing I need a work life balance.

Nothing is pointless. Everything is temporary.

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

Everything is pointless, everything is temporary.

Let me answer that with a book title: Life, the Universe, and Everything.
