At this point, everyone knows I'm hugely into books.
It's just so depressing how even book people are about nothing more than intentionally creating this self-perpetuating "community" of anxiety.
You can't go to any freaking book-related online space without people asking for permission to not finish a book. "Is it okay to DNF?????"
Same with doing shit to your own books. Do not write into them, do not open them too much or the spine will crack. Get a panic attack because two fucking photons touched the book and how it will be DAMAGED.
"I am having a panic attack because maybe I didn't get all the references in this book."
The same with every hobby. Cooking? You are not environmentally friendly enough, you are not authentic enough, this is wrong, that is wrong.
Hell, I am kiiinda thinking about a Switch, I looked at Animal Crossing and people are freaking the fuck out at others for not playing the game "right". Others are having depression because their islands are not aesthetic enough.
How did the internet turn everyone so fucking neurotic over the things we were supposed to do as FUN? And I am not even just talking about SJW things, but every community is about "doing it the right way" even though it doesn't matter and there doesn't exist a right way?
I think FOMO is a much bigger deal than most people realize. It’s really a powerful manifestation of cluster B personality disorders, which are more or less clinical leftism in the first place.
That's a really astute observation I'd never considered before.
Cluster B personality disorders
Antisocial PD - essentially the criminal mentality
Borderline PD - every crazy suicidal/homicidal girlfriend ever with fear of abandonment and malignant jealousy
Histrionic PD - attention whore and pathological liar, essentially Amber Heard
Narcissistic PD - self explanatory
Wait until you realize they sum up 99.999% of the the mtf trannies.
Not just mtf, and really, not just trannies. Literally every single "out" homo I've ever had the displeasure to know was histrionic and narcissistic. The histrionism is outright a part of their culture. It's why I don't have any gay friends, I have enough self-respect to never associate with cluster B personalities.
