I didn't think a single word could affect me that much. 

[Commander Fuckass]

I'm not saying that I have to be comfortable, I just feel uncomfortable in most social situations. I was at a party 2 weeks ago and I almost couldn't handle it. There were so many people that I didn't know and I was too scared to try to talk to anyone.

I could see how that could be, but the blunt it not the issue here. It's OK if you're marginalized in a so called 'party' which are in themselves cesspools for degenerates, mostly, at least at this age group and with this social crowd. So it's not anything important. But still Snowy, you should just be able to hang around, watch things, think things, and be alright with it in your own way.

I don't understand why there's this automatic fucking need to diagnose a dry spell as some kind of inherent and treatable flaw. Call it a dry spell and keep walking in one direction.

Everybody has shitty days and shitty weeks and even shitty months. Instead of trying to find definition, find some results.

you're just rationalizing now, which won't help reach what snowy wants
he can either:
1) devalue socialization
or
2) learn skills to handle with socialization that will grant him more opportunities

i dunno i guess diagnoses are mildly helpful in helping to find those specific list of actions needed to create good results
they shouldn't really dictate anything, which what contemporary psychiatric practices do anyways


also yeah, i remember you have problems with being pushed over by kids
and something vaguely about bullying?
what do you feel when you meet a stranger in a room?
and what do you usually think when you do?

I wasn't rationalizing I was being truthful. From my personal experience, the people at these gatherings are just misguided young people with no prospects and no sense of life, just looking for a trashy 'fun' time with other like minded individuals that support that sort of behavior and perspective. If anything, Snowy is ahead of the curb. I have very few lasting memories or any sort of powerful impression from any of these events which I have convinced myself to attend.

I was depressed freshman, sophomore, and most of junior year at high school. I guess it was just a phase (albeit abnormal).


I think I was worse than you. I never went out. I could not imagine going to a party at that time

[snoorkel]

i never went to a single high school party

i was laughed at by the Popular Kids and cried in my room
i'm still socially avoidant to the point of inventing conspiracies to force myself out of situations

I used to think i had compensated by advancing some relationships and gaining material security but materiality is cold and most people have abused my trust

now I've come to terms with the fact that i am a demented monster

it never gets better life is a trap

Yeah But "I have absolutely no motivation to do anything other than sleep, I've been avoiding my friends and people in general, and I've just been gloomy for the past few days.

I honestly cannot think of one thing I want to do other than sleeping and I'm not even tired. Sleep is the only thing that sounds appealing."

He framed it as the past few days though. It's stupid to say "welp, you're obviously depressed" after a few shitty days.

Maybe, but confusion is the best place to make decision like that from.

Life should in some respects be unhappy, and seem strange, even gray. I still feel like a street light sometimes, stuck in one place and always stooped over, shinning, but to oblivious passers by, never able to fully stretch upward, and maybe once stare at the sky, instead of the ground. Then there are times where an old man walks on by, his flaws and doom visible at once, while on the other side walks a girl, so concerned with her looks and image, such contrast of pure humility and complete vanity. Then there's me, unconcerned about what comes next, as long as I have this moment to live in.

But a street light does serve its purpose and does help people out during the dark hours.

I think the term depression is like addressing an itch without knowing what a rash is. Life is a very personal affair, some things you can control, others you cannot, but fundamentally we are always the source of our own understating. Once you relinquish that, it doesn't matter how you feel, as it's just a small boat in a vast, lonely ocean.

But a street light does serve its purpose and does help people out during the dark hours.

That's a heavy price to pay for the street light.

That's a heavy price to pay for the street light.

But you must remember that it does not know anything different and is incapable of knowing anything different.
