I wanted to buy them when they were like nine cents a piece

But my family was saying no that’s not a good idea

They never have been supportive or encouraging

One of the main reasons why I divorced my wife

Even during extremely tough times, no consoling or pep talk

Fuck that

I refuse to be around people that only seek to extract something from you

If that leaves me totally alone, so be it

You think you know someone..

You're out of luck, buddy. Most women I know are like that.

There will always be something wrong with you.

Which doesn't leave you with any ideal options.

At some point in your life you just have to deal with the reality.

Maybe

I see no reason to be dependent on someone

Depend on only yourself hooty

That’s true

The reality is that you're alone so depending on only yourself and leading yourself is the best option

its worked for me so why wouldnt it work for you?

Hmm

I mean you expect to have reliable partnerships

there is no such thing, none are satisfactory

Relationships arent about being happy, they about having a family

So why bother with them?

Yes, I think about detachment a lot

I’m very much a minimalist

then detach, you dont have to be so dependent on others

Besides, friends and girlfriends will just get in your way.

I need to give myself a massive amount of self validation to counter all the put downs

It’s really not easy

Meaning?

Like to counter the belief that I’m not good enough

Or things will never work

If you're not good enough then improve yourself

but you should most importantly be more independent

Self doubt you know

that will make you stronger

I get second guessed a lot when I know my intuition is usually right

So frustrating

Psychological abuse runs rampant in the world

then fight back, if you get second guessed, then do the same with them.
