How did you grow out of the mentality that everything should be done or made easy for you? I can't get over it. I think I should just be given a job that I want; it's not like I want much. I don't want to have to prove to someone that I'd be good, you should be able to just talk to me and say "yeah that guy seems trustworthy". I don't have friends that are willing to sit with me and drink beer and help me get everything I need to get the job (I've seen these people and that's how they get the things that they want). In fact, I would like it if these people didn't exist, but they do, and they're the ones doing things that are considered valuable, not me.
>>80076488I never grew out of that mentality. If it involves hard work or competing against others then I plain refuse. I haven't had a job in the last ten years that wasn't given to me, or anything resembling a relationship where the women didn't just fall into my lap. What kind of chump do you think I am? You will get nothing from me, world.
>>80076565My gfs have all fallen into my lap as you say, but I'm fairly physically attractive so that hasn't been a problem. I had like 2 job interviews recently and I wish I could just keep doing them instead of wishing to see some kind of results for my actions. I'm somewhat good at computer things (as good as someone who never had a job in the field can be anyway). I used to be more specific about what I liked, but now I'd be happy to do anything that doesn't require human interaction. I want to be honest about why I want the things that I want, but being honest won't get me where I want to be, so I'm stuck here.
>>80076488Maybe things shouldn't be made easy for you, but on the same token, they shouldn't be made unnaturally hard
>>80076729I don't really see the point in saying that things shouldn't be the way they are, unless there's reasonable possibility for change. Someone I know recently joined into a conversation I was in, saying that health insurance, as a business, should have morals. What is the point in saying things like that? Bad things shouldn't exist! Really, now? What is the point?
