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.
now I’ll feel even less guilty if they get shot
how she explains it is literally how i feel. i always worry someone might be thinking I’m mansplaining when really I’m just nerding out and want to talk about interesting info with a friend
i generally assume good intentions and i hope others give me the same courtesy, even if it has sometimes burned me in the past.
my toaster oven has convection so it’s basically also an air fryer
I’ll let you know if I hear any news 👍
Clinton was a Democrat which is why they even cared. meanwhile the gop was diddling kids the entire time. they’ve always been the pedophile party and it was even more of an open secret back then. it was actually a running joke guessing which Republican would be caught diddling kids each month. yet they always rallied and protected their own when allegations came out where as Democrats tended to turn against other Dems if allegations ever came up.

^ last month. will not be surprised if more come up due to the latest actions
Chad doesn’t actually “forget” to do the job. he realizes it isn’t worth his time unless he’s asked about it at least twice.
I’ve been Chad and been asked to do millions of things by people who will even forget they asked me to do them so unless it’s important enough that they follow up on it, it’s not a real job.
i will usually say something in corporate speak though like “it hasn’t been on my radar yet” instead of “i forgot”.
wtf there is a company called “astronomer”?
probably not much but i don’t watch the local news much so i don’t know for sure
yup. i don’t even watch produced movies or tv anymore. just YouTube or twitch pretty much. and if i do watch studio produced content, I pirate it.
out of the loop. which astronomer are we talking about? neil degrassse tyson?
we’ll see. i live near the ICE office and they are vandalzing the shit out of that office. love to see it.
portland. the cops had to organize an extrajudicial execution squad for one leftist protestor who killed a Trumper.
calling it now, the results will be unsurprising, show deep discrimination, and nothing will be done about it anyway
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
