Is it just me, or does the pressure to win it all eventually become a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure? I feel like once a team or a person starts obsessing over "the drought," they just freeze up when it actually matters.

Native American women don't bother covering them either...

It’s funny, really—we Europeans took silk from the East and spices for the West, but we never quite managed to master the best trend of all: the fashion of being bare-chested... 👎

And what’s truly infuriating is that bare female breasts aren't even officially classified as nudism, which suggests the legal system is actively pushing that specific agenda😁

Does anyone actually have a clear answer on the best timing for morning protein intake? I’m wondering if I should be hitting it first thing on training days, or if the real benefit comes from taking it the following morning instead.

To hell with grammar rules😉👍

If there’s an 80% chance things are awesome and only a 20% chance they suck, everyone still finds a way to spiral and act like it's the end of the world!
It’s like that classic move: "I GOT AN A!!!!!!!!!!!!!" even though you actually scored an 87% on the test.

Like when some girl starts a thread panicking that she might be pregnant, driving herself crazy, even though the odds are basically 0.00000046 %.
She could have just grabbed a Starbucks and worked on a crossword, or even just sat out in the sun for a bit!

Then you see another thread where a ton of people say they wouldn't have even been born if they had the choice!

If there isn't a problem, we can always just invent one!
When everything is going great, we start worrying about a black hole swallowing the country, or a meteor hitting YOUR specific car, or a volcano erupting in your backyard. And if nothing else works, there's always: "Ugh, I can never be 100% sure my partner isn't cheating on me!"

Just look at the whole swine flu scare. Even if you're perfectly healthy and it would just be a couple of days of fever, we turned it into a massive panic. It was all over the news and every newspaper, everywhere you looked!

To wrap it up, it feels like people would rather choose suffering over an easy life. They just ignore everything that gives them a reason to smile and focus entirely on why things suck!

By the way, what’s the big symbol of faith in our society? THE CROSS!!!!!
The Cross, folks! It's a symbol used to glorify Jesus' SUFFERING! We celebrate it in church constantly. You hear it during Mass—stuff like "blessed are the poor," "blessed are the hungry," "blessed are the oppressed." The church glorifies suffering! It teaches that you need to suffer here on Earth to make it into heaven later. Like, Jesus was on the cross for a few hours after living 33 years, so that's all we focus on!

And if your life is actually perfect, you can always just reminisce about some drama you had ten years ago!
Or look at those old ladies on the bus who look like they want to bite your head off, wearing enough makeup to barely hold their faces up, lecturing everyone about kids, politics, or quoting Latin to complain about how teenagers play violent video games (when they probably don't even know what a computer is). Basically, if nothing is bothering you, you can always stress out over someone else's lack of morals! Then you become a victim again because: "I live in such a wicked and cruel world, I just can't stand the suffering and evil people inflict on each other."

We can even stress about how millions of chickens are slaughtered every single day just to feed people! Gross.😢

Mostly, this whole pile of mental issues and nonsense... come on people, snap out of it! You're healthy, you have food, you can grab a drink, you can afford your coffee, the sun is still yellow, the air is fresh, you've got friends, maybe a dog, a TV, and if you've got a partner, hey, that's great too. Life is beautiful if you actually choose to see it that way!

Cheers! 🙂

one can never truly have enough optimism to get through this life🙂

cheers🙂

Come on, mistyseal11, get over here. We'll kill the depression and the boredom together—problem solved.

He’s depressed specifically because he lacks actual friends, which is exactly why I’m advising him to find some, regardless of how irrational you think that advice might be.

But fine, go ahead... at least you’re offering to be his friend.😁 (Though that depends entirely on how much you actually mean it.)

I mean, come on, surely out of that group you had at least ten people you actually managed to stay on good terms with? But honestly, it doesn't even matter...
The real question is, are you still hanging around the same city, or have you moved away for college somewhere?
If you aren't hitting the books, you might want to look into getting a job as a server; I can guarantee you'll meet plenty of people that way.

I can't say I'm entirely certain, but if I recall correctly, you mentioned dealing with some health issues a while back—was that right? And did that setback essentially burn all your bridges with everyone you used to know?

Go on, give us a bit more of the story... how did you end up drifting into this kind of isolation? Where is your old high school crowd now? Did you even have much of a social circle back then, or have you been navigating this solitude for quite some time already?

mistyseal11, how many years have you actually been on this earth?
