What to do when he's blowing you off...
in Psychology ·
Look, you’re feeding someone's ego until it hits the stratosphere. Don't let that happen (assuming what you're dealing with is actually based in reality)

In what situations do you guys get angry?

Zeus, knock it off!!
Memona, honey, karma always catches up. Everything comes full circle.
It’s even better when someone else ends up taking the fall for your bad karma instead of you.
Sometimes I snap back at people just as hard as they hit me, but honestly? It’s usually not worth the energy.

I get there are plenty of "sensitive" types out there, but listening to people whine about stupid stuff—like getting dumped, failing a midterm, or some unrequited crush nonsense—is total brain rot to me. I know people dealing with actual nightmares who are still breathing despite the agony. My cousin lost not one, but two kids, and she’s still pushing forward, choosing to live instead of checking out. In my book, a few
it isn't as trivial as you're making it sound.
I know what you're trying to say, but you just don't get it (which is fine, since you aren't built like that) regarding how people actually snap.
Your example is too clean; everyone has their own version of hell.
I'd probably kill myself too (though I won't) because my heart has been smashed into a million pieces for a million different reasons..
It wasn't a breakup or losing a spouse... but man, those things hurt, believe me.
Someone who's a bit more fragile and hit with bad luck? Yeah, they might end it.
It doesn't make it right in my eyes, and I wouldn't do it, but whatever—I get it.
I've had enough!

I honestly don't understand what kind of nonsense is weighing on you so heavily that you'd consider ending it all. By the time I was three, my father and grandmother had already passed away, and then my mother spent two years fighting cancer before she left us. I found myself completely alone by thirty, and even then, nothing felt quite that extreme. Sure, I feel miserable and lonely sometimes—of course I do—but life keeps moving. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, or so they say.
Well, props to you for having that kind of grit.
Look, not everyone's built that way. Not everyone can handle the pressure.
Some people are just too thin-skinned. They’re so sensitive that even a mild word can trigger an insult, and honestly? They can't handle the reality of the life they've chosen.
When things go south, they go south hard. You hit a wall, and suddenly that light at the end of the tunnel feels like a total myth.
It’s only human nature to try and make things easier. But let's be real—I'm going to be blunt here.😁We’re all animals. We have these primal urges, and when they get too heavy, we look for an out. Even death—it becomes just another way to escape the pressure.
Look, if we don't want to end up dead, we need a plan. Even if we’re the ones who walked right into the line of fire—even if we caused the whole mess ourselves—you don't just stand there. You figure out an exit strategy first. Survival isn't about being right; it's about getting out alive.
My sentence is way too long, but here’s the gist: everyone finds it easier to grab a drink, get wasted, or even end it all than to actually face death, sickness, pain, loss, disappointment, or any kind of suffering.
And honestly, some people are actually going to end up killing themselves over this.
People slit their wrists, and most of them still make it through.
Why? If I actually wanted to end it all, it wouldn't be some deep philosophical debate. Trust me—I’d have pulled it off on the first try.
No corrections needed.
Everyone else is just struggling. They scream with headlines like that because they’re desperate for comfort, hope, or someone to actually listen.
I’m not trying to drag anyone's name through the mud. Honestly, I doubt she’d even go that far if she knew how—though she came pretty close. Still, I can't shake the feeling that someone out there actually knows why I'm here. There has to be a reason.
If I’m destined to suffer and die, then fine. Let it be me. Better me than my kid, my mother, or anyone else I actually give a damn about.
One reason is enough for me.
Man, if everyone were like me, we'd actually get things done.🙂
Hey.
I've had enough!

Or maybe it’s just people who haven't actually tried doing things right, they've only ever done them poorly.
Go ahead then. Try convincing someone like that that there's even such a thing as doing it the right way.

I gave it a shot, oh God.
There's a reason they call them empty shells 🙂
I like being alive, so I'm not doing that again.

It’ll be a long shot finding a psychiatrist who actually buys into religious stuff. But, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
They just need to open their eyes a little bit, okay? That's more than enough...

Honestly, you’ve finally found your footing,
once you reach the summit, you'll realize that while plenty of paths lead to the top, the most beautiful ones are always the hardest—and that includes yours.
So, why not become a beacon for others? Or maybe just live by the spirit of that song "slap." That's actually what I'm trying to write about right now; the stretch of the road you're traveling might just end up lighting the way for someone else.I've gotta run ...bye
Oh, nice.😍
Talk soon, hopefully.

So, what was occupying your mind the most? Like, what was your main driving force?...
Most of us have these massive ambitions, and people call that "normal"—they call it youthful vigor, which explains everything, really. It's that deep-seated desire to build a whole new world....
Believe me, the lights just flickered on for me.
I don't care about doing "everything." I saw someone mention this in their bio once: it's better to take the path less traveled and actually leave a mark...
That's all.

bluemaker52 said:Honestly, calling this "spending" is being far too polite; there’s a much more blunt word for it that we all know deep down.
I’ve been scrolling through some of the recent posts, and I noticed how many people—mostly women—seem to be really struggling with this. Of course, these aren't just minor issues; they are genuine hardships. Having to fight your way through this world on your own is nothing new, is it?
But relying on pills isn't going to save anyone; all they do is induce lethargy. Once you truly understand what you're up against, you can actually start to anticipate the challenges instead of just guessing what might happen next.
Personality quirks and outbursts are perfectly normal, just like you mentioned, provided everything else stays on the right track.
Lethargy. Oh yeah, what a wonderful state to be in.😳😁
That's the only time you get any clarity, right? Only then can you predict things instead of just sensing them.
No, seriously—the meds brought me back to reality. My brain was running at 100 mph; I couldn't even keep up with my own thoughts, let alone anything else...
Now I'm fine. Not high, just steady.😁
Mind you, I can't make guarantees for every pill, every disorder, every issue, or every person out there.

People, you seriously need to take action. Don't just let the wind blow you wherever it wants, unless, of course, it happens to be blowing you in the right direction.
No, no, no. Not a chance.
I love it when it finally clicks and people realize. Honestly, I feel like I could finish your sentences for you.
Why is this wearing you down? Am I really exhausting you?😁

Well, that’s exactly what I meant, though you interpreted it as being about the house—mostly because of my promise to be a mess. But honestly, my chaos follows me wherever I go; "I carry everything I am with me," a lesson I learned way back during my time in ancient Greece.
If you don't work with him, the dynamic shifts. He isn't standing above you anymore; instead, you're on equal footing, and people often hate that because it means you were the one who chose to meet him where he is.
Not everyone is like that (I haven't had enough experience with them to say for sure), or at least, that's what they claim.
You're a real genius, aren't you?🙂

bluemaker52 said:Look, please don't take it that way. I really am just speaking the truth here. Even the chaos I tend to stir up serves a purpose, doesn't it? There’s actually a certain kind of significance in the mess I make.
I actually started this entire thread just because of you. Honestly, the fact that you're already seeing those red flags is exactly why I felt the need to bring this up.
Making a formal diagnosis isn't really the right way to look at it; at most, it’s just speculation. When you mentioned that you aren't interested in engaging mentally, that alone says everything that needs to be said. He’ll probably try to spin it by claiming you're being uncooperative or that you'd rather just stay to yourself, but he clearly doesn't understand. Honestly, how could he? He has no idea how much better it is to just enjoy your own company. 😍.
Let's slow down here.
When I talk about order, I mean in general, not just talking about housework.
I'm not "crazy." I've got enough sense and intelligence to make sure I don't just sit there while someone hands me some quick fix prescription and thinks they've solved everything.
Plus, this is a productive argument, and I live for that.😁
Will he say I'm not cooperating? No.
Why would he?
Who tells someone they aren't cooperating when that person is actively asking for an explanation, a conversation, a fight 😁, and actual arguments
?

I genuinely wanted to be helpful, just like I was with you. If I were to go ahead and create that kind of absolute disaster, you'd spend the entire week trying to clean up the mess, and then you'd see what a total catastrophe that would actually be.
Are you kidding me right now? I don't see it as a disorder. Cleaning actually relaxes me.😳
I'm done with the labels. If it isn't messing with my daily life, I'm not accepting the diagnosis.😁
