Stupid people being in charge of important stuff, but that's always been a problem
Dunno how to explain it...
I'd say bc I have too much defects or bc I usually get ridiculed irl (sometimes even by my family) or maybe because I think everything that happens in my life is my fault.
Sometimes it isn't your fault, sometimes we push ourselves too hard and blame it all on us, despite the fact it's not true.
You're probably going to hate me for saying this, but I don't believe that defects are a way to downplay yourself. There has been people who are blind that are able to become successful people. I remember watching a show or video recently that someone literally had a deformed face and despite the mass amounts of bullying the kid got, the kid was a prodigy and was able to be extremely successful in some of the talents that he was good at. Iirc he was a piano player?
Because you've known that you have defects doesn't make you a bad person. Those defects are who you are and it's graat that you'll eventually learn that they don't really play a huge part in your life. I probably said this last point wrong.
If it's from people outside your family, ignore them cause they're just a distraction of your success. I literally was getting agitated due to someone taking a pencil in my school despite believing that everyone was pretty normal in terms of taking my stuff. If it's from your parents, stand up and defend yourself, explaining why you don't like getting mocked by them. And if you get punished for standing up for yourself, that's child abuse.. although i can't find a proper solution to that.
Mmmmmm I dont hate you
My mother is bipolar and most of the ridiculization iirc comes from other family members (I dont live with my dad if you ask)
influencers and social media it's already proven it's making kids dumber. go look at all the vide of them getting their phones taken away from them they go fucking nuts
I don't know if this is good advice coming from someone who literally only had my family to depend on (I know I'm friends with people like DT and others online, and while I speak to the one on Discord, I still domt 100% know who they actually are), but if you believe you're getting locked by your family, you can also ignore what they're doing.
Hence the term, brain rot

Human Society as the first and worst of threats to Human Society themselves.
"Homo homini lupus", Plautus.
The self-called "Influencers" in second place, but they're derived from first place, as they're a result of Human Society's rotting.

And I think the lives of everyone who knows me would be better without me.
Bro what? No, that's not true, why would you say that? You're an amazing person
I do NOT want to come off as rude, but you gotta stop downplaying yourself, man. I know you are young and that you have had (or is currently going through) hardships in your life, but at the end of the day, it's not the end of the world. Not all of the time is there negativity rolling around you including the world.
To put this in comaprrison, I am struggling in my latter half of Senior year with all my classes being essay heavy, and I cannot for the life of me stick on a consistent schedule since I like prioritizing whichever one is easier for me not to mention that I'm getting other assignments and tests along the way. However, while I'm in the midsts of that, I'm reviewing games that I love and care about, (slowly but surely) speaking to those that have interests that I dig in, and depsite being the same game, playing Terraria constantly. When there's a negative, always positive posisitve, and you cannot let the devil take you over when there's a bunch of other great things in this world offers. Besieds, saying the world is better off without you means that nobody cares even the slightest for you, and honestly saying all of this on a public forum for everyone to see is a bit concerning imo, and
Think about the values that you've had that aren't negative. You're inside of a community of like-minded individuals that think that you're awesome, you have devices that you can actually play and mess with, and while your PC isn't strong, you have one to do the most that you can do with it. Yeah it's an old PC running Windows 8.1, but you can make the most out of a PC as old as that one through many different ways, even if Microsoft stopped supporting it last year.
Or their gaming consoles. You know - the videos where the parents (and sometimes even the gamers themselves) - destroy their gaming consoles in a fit of rage.

Yeah that's stupid of them, like spending all that money for a good console meant nothing because their anger got the best of them
Yep, absolutely BLOWS MY MIND. I just can't get it around my head. Those videos were mildly amusing at first, but after seeing enough of them I'm totally turned off by them. This kind of behavior is DISGUSTING. Talk about a broken console, more like a broken home!

I would imagine that, that's a kind of digital addiction. People can't get away from it. I've got a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra that I've had for a little over (or under) two years. In all honesty, I probably use 8% - 10% of its total capabilities. I never whip it out during the above scenarios, restaurants, movie theatres, squatting in the bathroom and of course, while driving.
Go into any restaurant and take note of how many people there are with their phones in their hands! Same thing with family outings. People JUST CAN'T GET AWAY FROM IT. Next time I see it I'll try to take a pic. Scary stuff folks, really scary stuff.

It's how much people don't realize they utilize the phones in all the moments they create without fully taking it all in. "Is there ever a time when we're ever truly in the present moment, and not looking towards the past or future."
The other day my mom and my brother and two of his kids were over for dinner and a movie (Chicken Curry and the film was "SNEAKERS" with Robert Redford - check it out it's a great film).
I come out of the kitchen and into the living room, and both my brother and his two kids (19 and 20, respectively) are silent as mice while they are tapping away on their phones. Luckily my mom does not do this. My mom made a comment to the three of them and everybody put their phones away (it's just fucking RUDE folks). After a hearty dinner, the two kids were at it again on the phone. I was just like..."UUUGGGHHH..."
I don't get this. I just DON'T. It reminds me of all of the "social distancing" signs in any given store during the the Covid=19 pandemic. People are GLAD to socially distance themselves. They'd rather hide their head in the sands (with a smartphone of course), than to deal with the PRESENT, in and around themselves. Nothing "wrong" with people that do this, just the act itself, as it is completely DISMISSIVE.
Just my 2 cents.
(Will do, sir, always interested in 90's movies) Take your 2 cents.
Also what even is the point of watching the movie in the first place if you're gonna focus in something else. If you don't want to watch the film, the least you can do is leave the room or somethingSimilar threads

I found it funny cause many many years ago, had a roommate in college that did this same dumbass branding of the school logo, but it didn't look anything like it after it healed. Just looked like a birthmark.
