slow and humiliating downward spiral into meaninglessness

[Tartarga]

Ok, this is going to sound really corny but whether you realize it or not there are people who care about you. Take the members of the escapist for an example, we've never met you but we still cared enough to offer advice in your darkest hour. You might not think that matters but I do.

I don't expect much in return for sharing my feelings with you. I simply needed someone, anyone, to share them with. The articles, videos, and commentaries on this website have truly been an escape for me for a long time now. All of you here have brought a smile to my face at times when nothing else could. Thank you for that.

And here I was thinking that you were talking about the Starwars Franchise Hehehe *sigh*

I'm sorry to hear about that my good sir. However there is always hope. You must keep that fire burning and don't let your will die! That is by far the worst type of death there is. I will pray for you and I can empathize with one thing and that is being alone. Especially when no one shares your ideals, it just makes life that much colder.

It does make getting up in the morning hard to do, but my suggestion is whenever you get the chance, go out and enjoy a nice day with no electronics or burdens of life. Just for one day.

If you believe in God then I suggest you pray as well or have a talk with him alone, tell your feelings and let out that pain.

Jeez, that sounds pretty bad. For what it's worth, you've done more with your life than I have, though that includes the bad stuff as well as the good. And it's nice to hear how much you appreciate this website.

I'm afraid I don't have a solution, but I do have this, which makes me feel good sometimes:

Think about it this way, you were married at one point. This means that at one point you got pussy. It might not have been a lot of pussy, but it was some pussy, and you got it.

Most people spend their entire lives trying to get pussy, and once they get it, they keep trying to get more. Their entire lives are spent in pussy getting. Their job is used to get more money in order to impress women to get pussy. Their education? Used to get the job that they're using to get pussy. Their apartment? A place to go so that they can get pussy privately.

Think about all this for a second. Now think about yourself for a second. You're a self admitted loser, with no friends, no money, and no good qualities, yet somehow, without any of these fine points, you were able to get pussy. You're ahead of the pussy getting curve here! You were able to get pussy without having anything to give. All you have to figure out is how you did it, and do it again, and then you'll be back in the pussy-getting race of life.

See? Things aren't all that bad.

This, for me has made the thread more than worthwhile for me(entertainment wise). I was postulating on a comment that on first glances most might even consider monstrous (but realistic) while glancing down others comments, but now I forgot where I was going with it.
Either way thanks for that, that has really made my day(and hopefully op's as well).

I know this may sound very strange for me to say this, but thank you.

I won't say that I understand what you're going through right now, and can't ever say that I will ever understand exactly how you're feeling. It would be wrong. But what I can say, is that I'm feeling pain too. Horrible, overwelming pain that I'm not sure I'm strong enough to deal with. Many of your words hit home for me too. I'm so sorry that you feel pain as strongly as your words are conveying. I'm crying - that's how strong they are.

I thank you, because if you hadn't been brave and took the time to open up within this thread, if all these wonderful people hadn't spent their time with wonderfully articulate words of inspiration (seriously, I wish I could write as well as half the people in this thread) - I'd still feel alone, with just my own destructive thoughts and emotions to keep me company.

You see all these people here? They're not rejecting you. You say you're a loser? You're actions here have just made a difference to me - enough that I think I'm going to get through tonight. Definitely something I don't see a loser being able to do, and I can't thank you enough.

I wish I could offer my own little tidbit of inspiration or advice - but I think these guys here are better at that than I'll ever be. I can however, be sincere when I say good luck to you, my friend. I'll be rooting for you.
