When did you become the punished version of yourself?For me it was when all of my friends betrayed and abandoned me for someone else, then my girlfriend broke up with me after leading me through the worst things I've ever been through. Because of her I lost basically everything I had and have to start completely over from 0. then she found another guy in less than a week. After that I found out she's now friends with my old friends who cut me off.I tried being nice, I tried being a good person. I'm done with that and now and I'm going to lie, cheat, and manipulate my way through life from this point on.
>>83851698>tried being nice>tried being a good person>everyone else but me is the problemsure bud, let's go with that
>>83851716>everyone else but me is the problemyou can recognize that you contributed to something while also recognizing you were less in the wrong. The key difference is intent.I'm not going to explain the whole situation because it would be like writing a book.
>>83851698>I'm going to lie, cheat, and manipulate my way through life from this point on.you will be no better than who caused you all this pain, is that really the path you want to walk?
>>83851723fair, so you're resentful (justifiable or not) and you choose to become a piece of shit instead of just finding better people to surround yourself with.that's a bummer, mostly for you.
I just started holding people accountable for things and standing my ground in truth. And I developed basically a zero tolerance policy for non authentic, non truth based people. Not really punished, vengeful territory, but if you were conditioned to be a pushover, especially by narcissistic family members like I was, being like this essentially feels like being at war with them.
you know what, i'll explain it because why not>one day i'm sitting in my room minding my own business>my roomate is having a party>some chick he invited comes into my room drunk>we start talking, hit it off fast>over the course of a year we become really good friends, she tells me i'm basically her best friend>couple more months pass, we're hanging out every day at this point>we start dating>I lose my job one day, slowly run out of money to pay rent>she proposes the idea of moving with her to a different town where her dad lives and living with him>i accept because i was going to be evicted anyways>once we get there it becomes obvious her dad is a meth addict after a couple weeks>her entire family is actually extremely fucked up>he gets an eviction notice>she calls my friends and tells them to take her back home, without telling me. Just leaves me there with her meth addict dad in a place I don't know>big falling out with them over the group chat afterwards>she's telling me she didn't ask them to pick her up (she did) I beleive it for the time being though>eventually she comes back to take me back with her, after about 3 weeks>I forgive her for leaving because i'm a retard>2 weeks later she breaks up with me>tons and tons of texts saying im the best boyfriend she's ever had, i'm so great etc.>she then blocks me>I find out from somebody else we both know that she still hangs out with my old friends>eventually i talk to her again, find out she already has another boyfriend, despite her saying she was going to marry me and she never wanted to date anyone else etc.>i'm left with literally nothing, no money, no friends, no job, nothing, all because some bitch showed up and decided to fuck with my life one dayLike, what did I do to deserve all this? I was naive and though people could actually be good and things could actually be good.
>>83851808>you will be no better than who caused you all this painthose people faced no consequences and actually ended up better off than me, so why should I care?
>>83851829>what did I do to deserve all thisso you are dangerously naive, good to know.life doesn't work in regards to "fairness" or "deserving". people can be good, things can be good, but not that chick and not those friends, not to you, not at that time.sometimes you're just unlucky. move the fuck on.
>>83851837>so why should I care?this type of thinking is what starts the cycle for others as well, feeding into that will not give you the satisfaction you're seeking
>>838516987, maybe 10. Possibly 13/14 at the very latest because abusing children and adolescents is an acceptable policy for you people
>letting bad people define who you are>letting bad people define who you becomeshiggy
>>83851861>so you are dangerously naiveYeah i know, and people usually take advantage of that>sometimes you're just unluckyI keep getting unlucky over and over again
>>83851698lmao I forget how corny this place can be sometimes
>>83851826>especially by narcissistic family membersnarcissists are the best at getting you attached to them so they can use it against you later. I'd just stay clear of them even if they're family. keep your distance because they'll destroy you.
