How do I find hot singles on the fediverse? I'm not reinstalling Tinder!

I tried that with Reddit. Parents cockblocked me. Had nothing but my missed life to think about in the meantime, so my mental health slips, and I ask who besides Serial killers and rapists deserves to die (looking for a description of myself in the answers).

Implying someone's life is worth more than others is a big no no on Reddit.

Get permabanned for inciting violence.

Nothing but your missed life? You can live a lot of life without a romantic partner, as much I very much understand it can still feel lonely at times.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

I missed my entire life. It's not all about that. Though I also regret not experiencing what everyone else did. The mistakes, the heartbreaks, you know, normal people stuff, that's mostly FOMO. What really sucks is I actually missed out on almost everything that makes life worth living. So, now I'm just in the mindset that I should just treat the good things of this world as false, and something that is meant for rich/normal people.

I'm just here to work, and fight. I need to make sure no one else ends up the same, ever again. Until then, there's no point in resting.

So I went back to seeing myself as unimportant, and putting my mission first.

How old are you? You can learn an instrument at any age, my dad learned how to make pastries in his late forties, and there are so many other fun skills and hobbies you can develop pretty easily. You may have missed stuff but you’re still alive and that means you are the one in control of what you are actively doing or not doing right now. Drowning yourself in self-pity isn’t going to do anyone any favours. You can look back at what you missed for the next 30-40 years or you can forward to what you can get done in that time.

I’d also love to know what this “mission” is and I hope it doesn’t have anything to do with being mad at women and has more to do with shit like worker protections and wealth equality such that people can live their lives to the fullest.

If that's how you see yourself, imagine what people think when they don't even know you and meet you for the first time. Focus on what you have to offer other people, not what other people have that you want.

It's just even when I'm focused on other people, anything I can do, is just second rate to the average person. If they try, they can always do it better than me.

I am temporary support for most people who are friends with me. I do a good thing here and there, and after that dries out, they lose interest.

[–] FridaySteve@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Who told you there was anything at all you could do in your life that there wouldn't be something better than you at? Why do you let that stop you from doing anything?

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 6 hours ago

I have friends I worry about daily, which sometimes gets in the way of self-improvement. I have a very rigid schedule that I'm like, failing right now. I work 9 hours a day, and get up at 5 AM. I have to pay off my mother's debt, or she is screwed. She works for an abusive company, and I put up with abuse in order to get her out.
