millennial who quit all social media except Reddit/Lemmy (now just Lemmy) nearly a decade ago now.

it’s great for my mental health. the only issue is that Facebook decided to take over as being the new Craigslist with Marketplace so I feel like I’m missing out on the best sales of used items because i refuse to make an account and give Zuck my data

how are your parents or your life not “allowing” you to have a job?

it’s all good! i hope you can come to a good resolution on this. i am an american that wishes he lived in some european countries so i get it. lol

of course. everyone has dreams and i cannot force you to do anything. but you came into a mental health community asking for help and advice with unhealthy fixations that are causing you to be deeply depressed and you are getting offended when we give it to you.

which is fine. becoming defensive is a normal response if you are feeling attacked. no one here is attacking you. we are trying to guide you to finding the help you are looking for

i do see a therapist regularly actually. she’s very helpful

please see a therapist

i think your comment here is just a symptom of what I described earlier. you think you are different and belong in a different culture. the american weeaboos that move to Japan feel the same way and feel like they don’t belong in American culture. you may disagree and think otherwise but I’m not here to argue with you. you really just need to talk to a therapist about it. it is not healthy to get this depressed about a country, of all things, especially one you are not actually living in. please seek a professional therapist. they can help you get to the bottom of why you are feeling this way and help you form healthier interests and attachments.

it sounds like you have an unhealthy obsession with a fantasy ideal of a country that is unlikely to be real.

this is not uncommon actually. there are many Americans who have this kind of fantasy obsession with Japan for instance, pick up everything and move there and are disappointed with the negative parts of the culture and life there and get very depressed.

funnily enough there is a actual syndrome that is named after japanese people who would get physically sick after visiting Paris and it didn’t meet their fantasies about what the city is like and experiencing the quintessential Parisian rudeness towards foreigners: Paris syndrome.

i can’t give real mental health advice. you should seek the help of a therapist. just know what you are experiencing is not uncommon and is something you will want to talk about with a therapist.

reminds me of the nutrient blocks on snowpiercer but made with something tasty instead of cockroaches

dissociating is the only way i stay sane

i don’t have anyone who I care enough about in my personal circles to hate them that much. apart from the people running our country and other dictators. i wish them exquisite pain.

I’m sorry. it must be tough when your partner doesn’t love you back but doubly tough if they have already found someone else to love, meanwhile you are left alone. i believe you will find peace though.

in what world do you live in where $4k is not that much. i make a solid 6 figures and $4.3k is nearly my monthly income after taxes

i sue landlords for fraud. passive income.

I used to be the golden child until I was an adult and became the black sheep of the family because I came out as gay, atheist, and Democrat.

My sister who was the problem child, smoked, drank, and fucked in her teenage years became the model Christian Republican wife with 2 kids so she’s now the golden child.

But the real problem were my narcissistic parents.

Haven’t had any serious connection with my parents in nearly 20 years now. That part has been going great getting them out of my life.

him being a sex offender is very old news basically chiseled in stone at this point. this is just yet another case of him being a sex offender.

it’s nice you all found well balanced queer people to befriend but keep in mind we also may not be as mentally put together as you perceive. i say this as a gay dude with lots of issues.

I’m happy they’re scared.
