I just ran into a guy i knew from high school who i hadnt seen in 10 years and we got to chatting. As it turns out they actually hated being around me, he explained that most of my friend group at the time was being paid $100 week to hang out with me and spy on me to my parents. When I called a close friend about it he said he thought I knew all about it. How do i reconcile this?

OP is definitely better off with the illusion. his parents basically paid to give him the blue pilled experience and he is better off for it. he might be a far more negative and miserable person if he grew up feeling ostracized. Humans are social creatures and socializing, even if it's fake, is healthy for the brain. not socializing can cause permanent developmental damage.

Look up the effects of solitary confinement. it's considered a brutal form of cruel and unusual punishment even though you aren't actually physically hurting the individual.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but most childhood friendships are based in money. Not all of course, but if Jimmy always wears cool clothes, has amazing birthday parties, has cool video games, etc. then he will be more popular than Timmy who has ratty clothes, birthday parties at the park, still plays snes, etc. Your parents were just more directly involved, but they did it because you are autistic and they wanted you to have some friends. Was it wrong? Maybe. Would you have been miserable and bitter if they hadn't? Probably. You probably are more likely to be able to socialize as an adult now because they paid for practice for you as a kid.

You're an adult now, you have surely made at least 1 non-paid friend. Don't let your whole world view shift over this. Frankly, kids are stupid and even if they were getting paid, they probably wouldn't have been able to keep up the facade if they really hated you. They seemingly thought you were in on it, so the kids didn't go out of their way to lie to you.

Obviously this taints your memories and is painful, but it was a parenting mistake made with good intentions. You probably should have control of your own money anyway though, now that you're an adult.

I don't any "advice" per se, as I don't see an issue to address.

However, I saw the OP in the catalog and felt I could copypasta a brief related story I've told before:

I complimented a girl by pointing out her really broad shoulders. She really was just remarkably attractive. For a while, I couldn't put my finger on exactly why her body type was so familiar. Then I realized that she is built like she was designed by Justice League artists. Wide shoulders, perfectly proportional, classically attractive. She giggled and loved it when I explained it to her.

Party on.

How do I avoid girls like my sister

When a guy approaches her she's super nice and kind and seems like a good person

But I know the true her, she's very selfish, aromantic and just an asshole in general

how do you filter out girls like my sister from the first approach

I want to have a large family. What steps do you need to take to have one? Where and how can you find a woman willing to have a lot of children? Any tips/advice? Thanks.

As a teehee used up slut female teehee, realistically logically it's not that attractive to anyone to be desired due to their virginity. Because after having sex this creates an unpleasant situation if the relationship falls apart because then the person who had internalised being valued for their virginity either if they were the one broken up with will chase the other person not to leave them or if they want to break up they will feel self hatred

I don’t know why I should be alive. I go to uni to study something I’m only partially interested in and have no aspirations or things to look forward to aside from that. I am a slave to the meds I take everyday so I don’t go nuts. Natural selection dictates that I shouldn’t even be alive right now so genuinely what’s the point?

There is no “finally happy”. Happiness is in the pursuit, which you have to learn to enjoy. Achieving a goal, if anything, quickly becomes depressing after the initial high if you don’t have another goal ready. If you don’t know what you want, try things and see how you feel after doing them. If you feel good, do that more. If you don’t feel good or feel bad, try something new. In the end, it is action that creates change, nothing else.

1) coworker accountant, age 26, skinny, 5’1, wealthy father (mom died), really likes cats, wants to buy properties and start a business, republican

2) girl from my church, 5’5, age 20, friend of my sister, virgin, in college and hates it, wants to marry early, be a stay at home mom

These girls have both expressed high interest in me. First girl appeals to me because she is more career-oriented, but I don’t like how she’s not brought up in the church (she’s a nominal Catholic) and seems to really like alcohol (while I don’t drink). Also a little worried that my sons would be short since she is petite

Second one i like how she’s from the same religious background as me, she’s feminine, but she appears a tad bit lazy and directionless. I feel like a lot of these church girls are just looking for Christian sugar daddies because they don’t want to work.

As for me, I am just a mix of these — very type an and career-oriented but also a religious conservative. So they both somewhat appeal to me but in different ways

Sounds like you have a work wife and a home wife on your hands (I'm joking, unless...?)

Look I get resenting women to some degree, I had the sister from hell so I know exactly where you're coming from.
But you want a wife don't you? You have to learn to balance these things. You can know the nature of women and manage it while still loving your wife.
Is hard working at work necessarily what you really want? What's life going to be like if no one manages your home? What's it going to be like if you spend all your time together at work and end up resenting eachother?
But don't let me talk you into anything you don't want to do. These are just the things I would weigh.

You don't randomly decide what it is; you search for it until you find it. The point is this that you won't know what is meaningful to you unless you actually think about it a bit, and try a few things, see how they feel, see if they seem important or worthwhile. Once you find something that matters to you, then you decide to pursue it.

>>34396843
>What if the thing I wanted to get out of bed for was a person and now that person is dead?
Then you keep looking until you find something else.
>>
>>34396809
People don't typically look for "meaning" when they do things. They just do things because it's fun or because it's what they're expected to do. Trying to find meaning in things is weird, something that people who arent normal do. The average human is not an intellectual, they're boring retards that watch sports and consume alcohol all day.

When they say "find meaning", what they actually mean is find the one thing you love doing that you wake up everyday excited to do (enough to stop you from killing yourself)
>>
>>34396809
Deciding might be a push in some cases, but yeah, kind of. They mean that at some point, you can either reflect, decide and then act to create meaning. Or sometimes life might just throw it at you in a way you didn't expect. A lot of people who "choose" a meaningful path, will fuck it up somehow, or might never realise it. But then some people will just have a situation almost kind of thrust upon them and suddenly find meaning they weren't expecting.

For the past month I've been sleeping poorly. I am kinda fearful of going to sleep because I have been waking up in the night with agonising mental episodes.

It's like something ominous is happening, and I can't imagine what. My head doesn't physically hurt but it's like a psychological torture. Akin to working on a factory line where you repeat actions ad infinitum and your mind wants to explode.

Sometimes I think of programming problems, singles words, or shapes. And if I close my eyes they appear and mentally zap me. I need the lights on and my eyes open for about 30 minutes before the thoughts and agony subside.

My heart does race. I don't sweat either. I found these could be nocturnal panic attacks. But I'm not panicking. I can breathe fine. There is just harsh mental discomfort. And it's like I've lost control to soothe bad thoughts when my eyes are closed.

The good: I have not drank or did weed in 2 years. I go to the gym 4 times a week, skate, and walk lots, and my BMI is 22.3. I do not smoke.

The bad: I have not had a conversation with anyone in person in 4 months. I work from home. I still feel guilty for breaking things off with my ex 6 months ago. I feel guilty for not living in the same city as my mother. She is a hoarder.
>>

My heart does *not race or pound

You not talking to anyone for 4 months seems most concerning to me, but I’m not sure that would be the cause.

Do you think you might have sleep apnea? I’m just shooting in the dark here, but if you’re sleeping and you wake up retarded, then maybe you were literally fucking choking and gasping for air for minutes on end.

Tbh this seems like really scary. Schedule a sleep apnea test just in case. While you wait for your appointment, download a sleep apnea app or something that records audio when you make noise.

Yeah bro, sleep apnea is serious and can kill you. Get yourself checked out.

Good. I had a date a few hours ago and she was looking at me like I was a piece of cake. Though I got some bad psychological ED issues so idk how it’ll go. But also got 2 ladies who have been patient and helping me with it for a price I can afford. Although progress is very slow, there’s still progress. One of the ladies will be my Surrogate Partner Therapist. Feel free to look that up. I find it fascinating and am finally gonna do it.

My sandnigger parents didn't send me to college, and shortly after went insane and depressed living at home. A couple of suicide attempts and 8 years later I still live with them and hate every second. I have two degrees I got by commuting and online courses but Im too insane to work. How the fuck is it legal to let retard parents decide if you go insane or not? This society is gay and retarded. Should I get transcranial magnetic stimulation or something or am i cooked. I'm filled with rage when they talk to me and tell me to do shit when it's their fault I got so depressed and unstable.

>>34392658
Let me tell you something you have to listen to in order to fix your issues. I’m sure people in this thread are saying the same thing, but you really need to hear and actionably integrate this into your life.

If you keep pointing fingers at your parents, society, and anything else that isn’t you as the cause of your problems, any change that comes to your life will be by sheer luck. You can’t rely on luck.

You are only truly in control of yourself, and that’s who is at fault for all the shit you’re going through. Once you realize it’s your fault, you can start to make change because if it’s you that did it, it’s you that can undo it or stop doing it. People can help you, but only you can fix this, not anyone else. To fix your shit you must take action because without action nothing happens. If you change nothing, nothing changes.

You can start by asking yourself by identifying a problem and then asking yourself “How is this my fault?” Once you can see your fault, the next question is “How can I change this?”, with an emphasis on the *I*.

>>34392658
Bro you're at the point in life where you can't blame your parents anymore.
Mental illness isn't your fault but it's your responsibility. See a psyche, get medicated, and figure out how you can get on with your life.
Assuming it's been 8 years since you graduated high school, you must be around 25-26 years old.
You're still young and got a lot of life ahead of you. But you're going to fall into a spiral of failure if you don't start holding yourself accountable.
