Mine… Is really not good. Like, even by my standards (which some of you have seen, lol), this is really, really bad.
I think there’s a few things at play, there: realizing I’m even worse “off”, in terms of “life progress”, than I thought. Realizing my financial and social situation is worse than I perhaps realized. Spending even more time around family that I obviously do not get along with (I’ve dreaded Christmas Day for the entire year, let’s be clear about that), or just… The supreme feelings of crushing loneliness and… “Emptiness” that this time of year tends to stir.
I’m sure I’m not alone in some of that. I think it’s a well-observed “phenom” that this time of year is awful, for mental health, for many people. So I hope you’re all doing ok in that regard.
On a more “political” note, seeing as we tend to prefer that here, lol, I’ve realized this week, perhaps, just how powerless we all are, to fight back against the worst of this dystopian corporate bullshit we all find ourselves amongst.
Like, I was even talking to, in essence, “leftists”, online, earlier this week, and even they think what is happening, with our corporate-tech-overlord-virtue-signalling dystopia is getting out of hand… And that’s in places with “left wing” governments, too. Even then, the problems have become so apparent, that leftists will begrudgingly acknowledge that something is wrong, even if they won’t admit the source…
No one will do anything. It really feels like we can’t do anything. Even working for, or being a client/member of, one of these corporations/banks/entities, you realize that you basically cannot do anything at all…
Maybe that contributed to the “badness” I have been feeling this week. Maybe not. But yeah, just thought I’d share, in case anyone else is “going through it”, this week.
You’re not alone, if so.
Keep it real.
Loneliness is being with people you love, and knowing they don't return it.
Loneliness is when your house is empty because your wife died three years ago.
Loneliness is burying a loyal pet.
I'm actually doing well. Lots of work. Tons of messed up stuff, but I found joy and possibilities for the future. I really hope they all work out.
I know all about 1 and 3, lol…
Sorry to hear about 2, if that applies to you. 😔
Obviously I haven’t experienced that. Would have to get to the point of being married, first, which… I’m no longer holding out hope for, unfortunately…
But yeah, loneliness is a lot of things. I agree these are some.
Loneliness is seeing your wife drunk on the floor and knowing she will be like this tomorrow as well.
I've had things that rhyme with some of these. They feel terrible.
On the other hand, the love of my life and I met in our forties and had to deal with all the baggage that creates. I honestly thought it would never happen, but then it did. Nerds take time I guess.
