It's venting. Venting. You're not going to be able to make me feel bad about my venting either. 

Yet, you felt the need to clarify it to us. 

Despite the assertion it's meant to demonstrate, conversational clarification is more often than not a disguised form of defensive self-assurance. 


You otherwise appear to be trying to cover your feelings that need the room to breathe with memetic speech and 'lolguise' tones. You might as well be saying "My dude" at the end of sentences. 

If you want to be taken seriously, you have to be more serious. If you aim to shroud yourself with the guise of class clown humor in order to feel like you're okay, then the very thing that distances them from you for your sense of safety will also distance them from you when it comes to seeking comfort.

Post-Irony's so expected these days, especially in the wake of modern Right Wing (Nazi) Politics and comedians like Sam Hyde. 

It just looks like weakness.

Sounds like depression

I used to have these moments of impulsivity you talked about, and the uh, severe severe boredom where you feel like stabbing a screw driver into your head. 

 

But this was like when my depression was at its worst point. 

 

I think the impulsivity comes from a feeling a lack of control, i could be wrong it’s just a guess but. Mine were brought on by the stress of the psychological issues I was facing that felt insurmountable. When you feel like you’re about to be crushed by a giant wave, there is this primal animal instinct to just, freak the fuck out. 

 

Especially when nothing matters or you feel very detached, i.e, struggling with dissociation, and panic attacks. 

 

Coupled with stress and the nihilism of depression, it all creates this lethal mixture that results in, impulsivity that might look insane to other people and, um. Suicide. It can result in suicide.

 

Sometimes when people commit suicide it’s actually more a loss of control. It sneaks up on you. You’re unwell for such a long time and then one day, for me at least, I just woke up one day not right in the head and, it can be really scary you know reaching a crisis point. 

 

If you’re having suicidal thoughts or, dreams of suicide, or ideation... on a regular basis. Might be a good time to reach out to someone and talk about what’s going on. That way you can avoid reaching a crisis as, um. Being in one of those isn’t fun and uh, it can sneak up on you so. Like.... idk. Just, maybe check in with your wellness and stuff with a professional just to see how they think you’re doing and what would work for you to, start feeling better. 

 

All the best man.

If that's fine with you, and you just want to shit all over the forum without any intention of engaging with people, then by all means continue doing what you're doing.


That's fine. You can be more clear next time.


 Mister Legga, I am not seeking of your approval with my behaviour. My opinion of your unwarranted self-importance is unchanged, DUMB ARROGANT PSEUDO-INTELLECTUAL GASLIGHTING NIGGER.  Fighting back against me, only unveils your hypocrisy. I don't need to explain this further, you simply lost the moment you made your first comment. 

 

It's venting. Venting. You're not going to be able to make me feel bad about my venting either.

 Tc, you are using this as an opportunity to join in on some sort of "everybody sees that:..." sort of narrative control. First of all, my dude, I simply engaged Legga. Engaged. Does that mean anything other than me wanting to interact with him? No. The medium for it is irrelevant.

Secondly, you are mistaken, I simply do not care about the way people view me, unless I have a goal to accomplish that is dependant on that. I understand this might seem like a cope. But honestly, I just don't. Even my reply here, it's not to defend my reputation or anything like that. It's simply an experiment. "How does this sort of attitude fare against those sorts of arguments".

 Partially true. If your reasons for doing it, are also for the sake of dramaticism, then fully true.

 Thanks blanc. I appreciate this advice, and perhaps depression might be an underlying factor.

It's a public forum, and this topic isn't "My Ted Talk for Legga". 

Secondly, you are mistaken, I simply do not care about the way people view me, unless I have a goal to accomplish that is dependant on that.

You care, otherwise you wouldn't work so hard to readjust how you're seen. 

I understand this might seem like a cope. But honestly, I just don't. Even my reply here, it's not to defend my reputation or anything like that. It's simply an experiment. "How does this sort of attitude fare against those sorts of arguments". 

It's a cope, trust me.

 Excuse me? He replied, I replied to his replies. The "explainations" judgement of yours applies to my replies to legga, not to the OP.

 

Turncoat said:

 And how exactly am I trying to readjust how I'm seen? I'm simply countering your arguments with pure autistic facts. That's the point of it. There is no ego involved. You are logically wrong and I'm pointing it out. I want to see how you react. So far, this is entrenching yourself in your previous assumption. However, you fail to illustrate how exactly is it that I'm doing that. In fact, I suppose this whole shit can be viewed as me being "defensive" about a topic. But it's a fake defence.

 

Turncoat said:

 You are not a trustworthy individual from what I have gathered so far, so no, I will not trust you. You play around questioning people's convictions, making them doubt themselves, followed by eventually them changing. My opinion is that this change is your purpose, for whatever entertainment you might gain from it as a reason. You gain amusement from seeing how people change when their world view is challenged. 

 

"It's a cope, trust me". Okay, given all that I've said so far, let's also explore this as if it were true. Could you elaborate on what exactly am I coping with? And, once that's established, how exactly does it being a "cope" diminish the strength of my arguments?

You two didn't take it to PMs or even DMs, so..?

Turncoat said:

You're attempting to display an inauthentic version of yourself during your cry for help, it clashes. 

I'm simply countering your arguments with pure autistic facts. That's the point of it. There is no ego involved. You are logically wrong and I'm pointing it out. I want to see how you react.

There's always ego involved, and my points span based on your behavior across topics, not merely in this one. 

You have a construct sense of self, and when people see otherwise you reassure yourself towards us. It gives the impression that you're afraid of letting others get too close to you out of some subconsciously believed sense of vulnerability, and it showcases itself in your corrective nature. 

So far, this is entrenching yourself in your previous assumption. However, you fail to illustrate how exactly is it that I'm doing that. In fact, I suppose this whole shit can be viewed as me being "defensive" about a topic. But it's a fake defense.

The need to be fake is in itself the defense.

Are you not a fan of change? 

I'm typically aiming to incite introspection by asking the questions they aren't. 

My opinion is that this change is your purpose, for whatever entertainment you might gain from it as a reason. You gain amusement from seeing how people change when their world view is challenged. 

I'm not trying to change everyone, just the people displaying obvious examples of weakness. 

"It's a cope, trust me". Okay, given all that I've said so far, let's also explore this as if it were true. Could you elaborate on what exactly am I coping with?

Insecurity. 

And, once that's established, how exactly does it being a "cope" diminish the strength of my arguments?

It applies bias to your points that, if rid of, will give you the room to try again with more potential objectivity. It has otherwise tainted your interactions between people on here for a while now, and each time you go on about it it's clear justifications instead of tongue-in-cheek reasoning purely. 

We have people on here who are genuinely just here for teh lolz, but you put just enough of yourself into it to show that it's meant to protect yourself as opposed to push others. If it were more about teh lolz, you'd be willing to take bigger risks with less defensive posturing and nihilistic canceling. 

If I had the means, I'd be prescribing you a run through I <3 Huckabees.
