Honestly, I’m the opposite. Fools are the only company I’m fit for, but “smart” fools if I can find them, if that makes sense. I try to avoid feeling like the “smart” one, although that avoidance hasn’t required any effort for me among my friends for literal decades by this point.

Welp, you’ve nailed why I find it so ironic/hillarious when I’m told, at length and in excessive/invented detail, that I haven’t internalized/accepted my own failures enough.
Mind you, it almost never involves (even meta-physical)injury or inconvenience to anyone else, so there’s a lot of lip-flapping from people who can explain everything they have a problem with except for how what’s being complained-about is any of their business or problem.

I spent enough of my life believing I was myself toxic that I just doubled-down. My mental-health suffered, but we’re at a point like a stand-off. I have an exit-plan and conditions that will trigger or prevent it, and I hope she does too, but with medication and therapy, I mostly feel like I’m where I want to be. Without it, my relationship would be irrelevant next to all the un-hinged shit I would get up to anyways.
I myself am not all that attached to the truth so much as I occassionally have to remind certain people that trying to convince anyone of utter-falsehoods and “non-disprovable” gibberish is boring, wasted effort, or worse. There is no upshot to abusing those who love you, at least not on a one-way street, and modern society has places if you really want to play the stupidest-possible games of bumper-cars.

Psychopathy? Autism? BPD?
I stay medicated and too busy doing right by my family to dwell on it, but I have enough emotional depth that I sometimes wonder if I didn’t just decide to try to think and act like an unhinged psychopath one day(WAY before I met my wife…) in the hopes of avoiding abuse & despair. I’ll tell you this much: Whatever the case, that last part definitely didn’t work-out.

Love-bombing a love-bomber can get epic, but then there’s the fallout when the one drops the act and is terrified by the possibilities that: you weren’t acting, you were just matching their energy and can meet them down in the trenches before they can actually drag you down, and/or you knew what they were up to and refuse to be made to have a problem with it(see “weren’t acting”).
Now you’re stuck with a bait-and-switcher who cannot grasp that you might not be pulling the same trick they just failed to land.
If this sounds like a lot of drama and a massive pain, it is, and that’s why its not recommended over disengaging once you’ve realized what’s happening.

Real gaslighters LOVE the opportunity to further twist facts, or maybe its compulsion. Its better to either disengage entirely or focus on one or two key points their bullshit cannot change
- Comment on US bans any new consumer-grade routers not made in America 3 weeks ago:
My personal solutions regardless of the law or regulations are besides the point.
- Comment on US bans any new consumer-grade routers not made in America 3 weeks ago:
FCC and Executive Branch unilaterally try to**
That said, I don’t have the money to try to import an unapproved router for personal use and then find/hire lawyers sue when its seized in customs, and am uncertain what arguments could be used in-court to affect this issue beyond for, maybe, myself ending up with a product I honestly don’t plan to use, but there has to be a way beyond begging Congress-Critters for some basic crumbs of Illusion-of-Choice-masquerading-as-Consumer-Rights … right?
- Comment on Anon is emotional intelligence. 3 weeks ago:
Not here, not now. That’s another thread.
- Comment on Anon is emotional intelligence. 3 weeks ago:
Demonstrates their point by raging-out unintelligibly. Never mentions gender. Commenters say its about hating women. Sure.
Emotional Intelligence at a singular level amounts to taking the appropriate time to compose oneself, but at the same time, just because one shows emotion doesn’t mean they don’t have a point.
I agree OP was likely rejected by someone, but I’ve seen gay men and lesbians use these phrases to try to manipulate their SO or counteract their SO’s bullshit, more often the “calm” one overtly attempting manipulation and gaslighting.
Bringing gender or “misogyny” into it is laughably besides-the-point to me. I saw a meme page try to say the 90%-of-prisoners-are-men statistic means its men who are overly-emotional, like the people who say women are too emotional have a point re:emotions, and only got the “women” part wrong. My fellow bitches, the “calm” ones are not on your side.
- Comment on Parents opt kids out of school computers, insisting on pen and paper instead 1 month ago:
I don’t think school districts have any business renting-out years-old Chromebooks full of spyware for amounts that could buy a newer laptop, but here we are.
Couple of weeks-ago, I had to basically trick my daughter’s Chromebook into caching a lesson at a resolution high enough for her to tell that her snow-day packet’s math problems actually were part of the lesson. There was no option to download the video or watch it on another device(also tried, even casting it to a TV wasn’t available).
… but yeah, what the district and Google are cool with is super-important. They don’t even use books.
- Comment on Anon changes his strategy 1 month ago:
Its always confounded me that, somewhere along the line, Simping:Spending time and money to let a stranger on the internet know you think she’s pretty and you likely see romance as transactional, got conflated with “Simping”: having the guts and sincerity to compliment a woman in-person, without reservation or expectation of reward.
Like, what? How did that become a thing?
- Comment on Anon wants sex 2 months ago:
The “incentive”/stigma for lying about virginity is also reversed. Part of their confusion/bull-shit is thinking they want a virgin.
- Comment on Anon is a nice guy 2 months ago:
Different people will approach those social situations differently. Work, play, drinking, hanging out, flirting … everyone has their own ideas of what they enjoy or find inappropriate or don’t know how to engage with in various settings. The same individual is often wildly inconsistent across different settings.
Personal adaptability and the willingness to apologise or double-down according to what the other party expects are the only ways to avoid getting one’s feelings hurt and/or hurting others across a broad-range of experiences and individuals.
Of course, social isolation and intentionally keeping a small circle and/or routines are also valid options.
- Comment on Anon is a nice guy 2 months ago:
I downvoted at-first, but I just explained this to my son yesterday. Over 90% of us are sheep, and over half of that are just sheep who are concerned primarilly with the social-status and evident power/autority of anyone who tries to give them directions, no matter how correct or absurdly-wrong the directions. They actively despise the notion of thinking for themselves.
- Comment on Anon uses 4chan 2 months ago:
Tell that to all the text that comprises most content in every board. Calling it more of an imageboard than sites that devote almost-all of every page to images is backwards. 4chan is a forum or BBS-minus-dial-in with delusions of grandeur.

Neither is 4chan
- Comment on Why Japan’s internet looks weird — unless you live here 3 months ago:
It looks like the internet I grew-up with, if “web 2.0” hadn’t screwed it all up before large hi-resolution screens became common. It’s everything since then that’s flippin’ weird.
- Comment on Anon has a wholesome thought 3 months ago:
You’re situation is far from what I was getting at, and a nightmare to 95+% of the people I intended to describe.
I haven’t minded jail, in-patient treatment, nor any number of confined living/work situations, but I don’t think that outlook lends itself to ignoring the suffering of others per se.
The suffering of others is one of the more overt ills of society that makes me appreciate a situation where I have a full stomach, a warm bed, and an extremely-confined combined-work-study-and-social-circle which I have little-to-no control over all-the-more.
The society outside of that, where suffering of others is acceptable so long as one is not forced to associtate with anyone-in-particular, is something its entirely moral to flee from imho.
Basically, your situation is almost the opposite of what I was complaining of, even though for most people its a situation that is only symptomatic of the narrow set of problems they find personally-inconvenient about the status quo. These are people who implitly have a problem with you or I getting to be being fed, warm, and detached from the zeitgeist they know, and/or even slightly happy, but they will also never admit it.
Far from all of that 95+% I mentioned in my first paragraph are like so, but is at least 60% of people-in-general, divided closer-to-evenly among, and therefore the majority members of, whatever tribes you could name … and its extra stupid because the rest are just as invested in pretending the ones that agree with them somehow aren’t the problem.
No, you see, its addicts, “psychopaths”, “the other guys” and you or I that are the problem to them. Even though society would both fall-apart without us, and has no right to call itself society if it can’t allow for us. We can’t pretend those suffering don’t exist as easilly as they, and our comfort away from those that can, with mixed-company no matter your criteria no-less, is anathema to their outlook.
- Comment on Anon has a wholesome thought 4 months ago:
Amazing how awesome a little comfort is when you can just ignore others who don’t have what you have, and ignore how little separates you from them. Injury, illness, mistakes, accusations, random layoffs… Its all so fragile.
- Comment on Anon is British 4 months ago:
The only thing to make it better would be to change it to “die thankful, to the terrorists for freeing me of this place” or for the last line, “maybe if they hated it here enough to go on living out of spite instead of blowing themselves up, we could accept them as fellow Britons.”

- Comment on Anon has had enough 5 months ago:
Back when I could consistently roll my foreskin back, aiming from standing was the cleaner option. I have no idea what animals you’ve lived with that couldn’t get their pee in the bowl consistently, but I’m sorry, I guess?
- Comment on Anon has had enough 5 months ago:
Reasons I unironically want FUD/STP device; Not that I’ve bothered to be pro-active about it. Even sitting to pee does not reign-in the dick’s non-sense.
- Comment on Anon has had enough 5 months ago:
You apparently have no idea the dick’s talent for aiming for the crack between the seat and rim, no matter how you go about “tucking” it downwards to try to prevent just that. Even sitting, leaning so far forward your hands are on the floor, is no guarantee
