I know it’s nobody’s fault but my own that I’m disgusting trash. I know it’s unreasonable and unrealistic to expect anyone to like me. I don’t know what is so wrong with me. I understand I’m ugly, poor, stupid, annoying, and so on. My physical attributes are underwhelming at best.
People simply do not see me in a romantic way. I do my best to avoid being a creep. I know sometimes just being looked at by someone like me is offensive. I try to never say anything that would ever make anyone uncomfortable. I read online about how to act or not act so people like you. I greet everyone by name, I ask how they are, I’m compassionate and empathetic. I’m not a man although I’m supposed to be. I wish I could take hormones and actually be a man, but they say my testosterone is fine. I’m not tough and my beard grows sporadically.
I can’t change the things that are wrong. I’m overweight but only slightly, and I only looked worse when I went lower. I’ll never get taller and I’ll always be “short” at 5’9". Fundamentally my personality is flawed. I mean, besides being ugly I’m also an extremely mediocre person. My hobbies and interests are all cringe embarrassments. Things are worse if I like them. Everything I do is wrong. I’ve never made the right decisions and I’m not successful.
Everyone else is more important than me. Everyone else matters. They deserve compassion and understanding but I do not. I hate everything about myself and have for a long time. I hate myself in the past and the future. I never suffer enough. I’m never miserable enough. I should have just done better. I remember my first mistakes began in kindergarten and only ever snowballed from there.
I try not to have unrealistic expectations. I don’t expect anyone who isn’t also flawed to like me. I’m not trying to date models. I just want to be okay existing and be accepted by regular normal people. Everyone is always dating or having intimate relations. All the worlds an orgy, but I’m not invited.
I guess all of that to say, I accept that I am an ugly loser, I accept I’m not good enough, but how do I cope with that? What’s the point of life when I’ll be excluded from so much of it?
And please, I know I should just be different, but I’m not. I wish my parents had killed me at birth. I don’t understand why they didn’t. If I could be a different person I would. If I could inhabit another body, I would. So telling me to just stop being so horrible, when every day I try my hardest not to be, won’t help. I’m already as nice, forgiving, understanding, as I can figure out how to be. I try to carefully answer. I try to say the right thing, the most helpful and ideologically correct statement.
Also no this is not AI, I’m just a psycho. This comic caused me legitimate psychological damage.
I am fully prepared to die during the revolution. I would die today if it would help advance our cause.
Lots of good posts in this thread, but I’ll take a different approach and say that if you’re loving and kind to people and animals and you are in any way handy/able to fix broken things, friends will find you. They’ll be friends who need kindness, love, and things fixed, but they’ll appreciate that you can do that for them.
As Red Green once said, if women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
Stop looking forward to dieing for the cause and find a way to live for it.
Start growing some houseplants; a living thing you see every day and control. It’ll give practice in compassion and it’ll give you something to talk about. Then get into gardening and giving away your surplus to food banks or neighbors.
