I came across this video and thought of you and this post. Lord Wojak - Life of a Lonely Man

Sad video. I’m concerned it reminded you of me. There is a fine line between wallowing in self-pity and expressing frustrations on the path to mitigating them. Thanks. You pushed me to write a piece on this

I didn’t mean it reminded me of YOU, so much as what you wrote about. You actually seem a strong person and presence to me, just very sad. Be interested to see what you write.

Sorry I didn't write it more clearly. Didn't mean to hurt anyone. The tone of the video seemed to fit the tone of the article. You know, as far as self pity goes, I don't know if it's an all bad thing. They semantics of it are negative. If the words are changed to feeling bad over really horrid stuff that happens to you, or compassion for yourself, I think it's healthy. Wallowing in it, or drowning in it, no, self destructive. Consider all the women and children beaten and raped by the "immigrants". Or all the abused children. They have every right to feel really bad about what happened to them. Then there's just how society lays a trip on men for feeling anything at all. Just supposed to be stoic - nonsense.

This is so sad, but many people are living this reality. Even more sad, it's largely their own fault. You hear about all the women delusionally looking for Chad, but there's as many men delusionally looking for Stacy. The average and unattractive people want exceptional and attractive people. This is so shallow, surface and unrealistic. It's a self inflicted recipe for loneliness and unhappiness. Most of the people in the world are average and unattractive. Why don't the billions of them simply get together and have a life. So many average and unattractive are good people. I get what you're saying about who you're attracted to is beyond your control, but really? Isn't this societal marketing to keep us in lower consciousness? People need to retrain themselves to be attracted to the inner qualities of each other. That's where the truth is. I'm not saying everyone needs to walk around singing My Funny Valentine, but seriously. Sex is great, but it's transient, and so many attractive people are hollow logs between the ears. No fun in that. Intelligent people make such better lovers, and anyway, once you close your eyes it's all good.

Nice choice of scene 🤣

This is very negative, but there is a great deal of truth in it. I'm an over-the-hill guy and I agree.

I wish I had a more positive message.
