    Part of me wants to go live in the woods and forget about society. The other part is frantically trying to prepare for the rising threat of fascism spreading to my country. I’m getting pretty good at selectively dissociating.

      I mean, living in the woods is a great way of figuring out just how much or how little you actually value a social life.

      More than previously thought was the answer for me.

    I’m in my thirties and physically I’m ok, but it’s getting tougher mentally with each year passed. Job takes most of the time and it’s harder to genuinely connect with people the older you get. Whe I was a kid or teenager I could simply start a conversation with a peer and become friends in a matter of minutes. Not it takes weeks, because everyone’s working and has families. Getting older sucks

      If it makes you feel better, it doesn’t get much worse than where you’re at now in terms of socialization.

      A lot of people spend years wearing about what other people are saying and thinking about them. When you hit your forties you realize nobody’s saying or thinking anything about you at all, You’re too busy dealing with their own slice of hell.

    I just woke up physically tired from sleep. Not in a “I’m sleepy” kind of way, in a “did I just run a fucking marathon why am I in so much pain” kind of way.

    I didn’t ask for life.

      Did you ever get checked for sleep apnea or similar conditions?

      One of the symptoms is waking up and feeling like a bulldozer just ran you over.

      I have a condition that causes me to only get good sleep on my side, but if I sleep on my side for more than a couple hours that side really starts to ache. So yeah I’m with you

    In my thirties and I’ve got some creaks here and there, what all have you guys been doing to your bodies? Usually stuff like this is only when I go too wild at amateur wrestling night as the Shrieking Spud

        There are lots of good things to say: “I’ve got my eyes on you”, “This deep fryer ain’t big enough for the two of us”, “You couldn’t mash me if you tried”, “I hope you like your hair starched”. I also put potatoes in my bra to hand to people, they would fly out when I got thrown around too
