Thank you seagoon, I offer the same to you. Those who understand, understand the importance of human connection and bonding. This community has been a bastion, and you the shining pure gem at its center. 💜

All I can say is I feel the abject rage towards REs and LLs in my soul and relate hard.

I believe in you, and the list and changes you want to fulfill and make happen. You are intelligent and strong, and you will find peace and happiness away from this place 💜

Of course it is, because no one ever really wants to be close to someone struggling with their own mind. They prefer performative care, so they can receive sympathy, but do not actually care about the person truly struggling.

The mentally unwell are chronically alone and lonely, I can attest, with few real, genuine human connections, because they are just there to make others feel good about themselves. Even their death is capitalised upon for further sympathy and attention.

I wonder why I have so few genuine, caring friends, but why wonder when the answer is they don't actually care. They just like others telling them how kind and selfless they are. It's disgusting that the mentally unwell are only "cared for and about" when they're fucking dead and it doesn't mean anything to them.

Bruh, why did you throw the choccie away 😭😭😭

A coffee, and the sweet release of falling apart into my elemental components to be washed away in the foamy gravitational waves.

Sometimes I check the Wi-Fi networks my phone picks up in my building, and they don't disappoint.

Double rainbow all the wayyyy 😭🌈🌈

Absolutely, and it's painful to do because it goes against our personalities and our very nature as human beings. Empathy and compassion is sacrificed for survival.

I have hope kindness and love will prevail, but our suffering in the meantime is wearing on me.

When you have the spoons, check similar to your housing in the area and whether it matches what they are proposing, if it is generally below their amount, you have some kind of negotiation power.

No is yes because some men get off on non-consent as well. Ugh UGH

Ugh I have no idea why you are downvoted - I agree wholeheartedly with this.

Do not allow men into your home who have already ignored your consent. Not victim blaming, but people perceived as women must be careful in today's world what with the utter disrespect and violence towards AFABs/women/femmes.

I am the great cornholio! I need tp for my bunghole.

And it isn't just you, people are just that much more inconsiderate. I blame lockdowns, but also the general state of the world right now - wars, rescinding rights, needless death, no ability to buy a house, pollies are landlords and two faced scum, far right bullshit, climate change... I can understand people reacting with general disrespect when it doesn't feel like this world will last, and we suffer.

But I also believe in times like these, we have MORE of a duty to be kind to one other, to show compassion and grace. And that is severely lacking within the general population. Their attitudes compound upon the state of the world and just hurt us even more than we already are.

He understands, he just doesn't want to accept it. It's not about swaying you it's about making you so uncomfortable that you'll say yes just to get it "over with".

He doesn't care about your feelings or consent. And do not let him into your house again.
