Look if I tell you about my impending suicide it's going to make everything worse for both of us

[-] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago

Not suicide. But one time, I ate something so bad I diarrhea'd nonstop. Practically ghosted my friend for a whole week because I was quietly dying from pooping my insides. Oh, and the SMELL.

Anyways, when I saw them again, the thought did cross my mind. Easier to tell them suicide rather than explain that I couldn't stop projectile shitting everywhere.

Would you rather me tell you about the tank of helium and the bag and hoses I bought and then returned, or do you just want to go back to playing cards and getting on with things?

[-] basketugly@lemmy.world 7 points 23 hours ago

Made the right choice BTW, stay strong.

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 15 points 22 hours ago

I don't know if it was strength or not. I fell in love. Went to visit a friend I have known for 20 years but never met in person. Intended for it to be a goodbye. Plan was to go see him, get back home, mail the letters, drive to the ocean, and watch the sea as it happened. Even bought clear bags to make sure I could see it.

Fell in love with him while I was there. Not sure if that'll work out or not, but it gave me a reason to live. And if it doesn't work out, it means there might be other reasons to live still out there. I had only ever had the one reason, it was an honest to surprise to find out there could be another.

The key is that you persist. I call it survival or I like to say, despite whatever is going on, "yet I still persist". Finding new and different reasons to help you maintain this persistence are also very important. Stay here don't leave. That's it.

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

I hope you continue to find new reasons.

[-] krunklom@lemmy.zip 4 points 16 hours ago

Exactly. I couldn't agree more.

When killing yourself the right thing to do is to set it up some piano wire in such a way that you're able to sever your own head, AFTER supergluing your hands to the side of your head.

Its crucial that you have a friend that's in on it so that they can remove the piano wire when they "stumble" on to your dead body, and the investigators struggle to figure out how and why your ripped your own head off.

Do me a favor and practice what you preach.

[-] BussyGyatt@feddit.org 5 points 23 hours ago

i thought i was the only one who thought of that...

[-] zeropointone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Good example.

[-] Inucune@lemmy.world 61 points 1 day ago

I don't tell people things because they weaponize it against me later. Not handing you knives to stab me with no matter how you frame it.

[-] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago

I left a new friendship real fast because he said, "I take pleasure in mocking my friends."

And I told him, "I'm not interested in that level of immaturity" and he texts me every few months with random YouTube videos left on seen.

I'm too old for this shit.

[-] spiffmeister@aussie.zone 12 points 17 hours ago

I think you might need better mates. Unless the things you're doing is kicking dogs.

[-] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago

Also dog kicker better watch out who he shares that info with before he accidentally makes friends with John Wick.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

if they're gonna do that why are you hanging out with these people

[-] untorquer@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

I never could quite understand how to describe the experience of "clicking" or "meshing" with someone. Now I realize its got to do with the mutual ability to differentiate between communication from an emotional thought and that from a logical thought.

When I'm not clicking with someone they're probably regularly misattributing and applying the opposed source of communication and acting on it. When someone assigns an emotional thought to the logic bin it feels like backstabbing, like the thought is weaponized against me while I was being vulnerable.

Anyways, that's why i talk to you as little as possible Steve.

[-] PlasticQuality7519@reddthat.com 80 points 1 day ago

And their Steam profile is like: Factorio 832 hours played 117 hours in the last two weeks

[-] Bo7a@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 day ago

832 hours... What is this kindergarten?

If you don't have 5,000 hours in factorio, can you even call yourself an engineer?

[-] untorquer@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

I'm assuming satisfactory also applies. Any game you might whip out spreadsheets tbh.

[-] Zink@programming.dev 18 points 1 day ago

What if you're an engineer who knows about Factorio and also knows a few things about your own psyche, and therefore have 0.0 hours played?

Maybe because nobody would listen, or care about what he went through.

You deserved better, Lewis. But I’m happy you came back.

[-] Honytawk@feddit.nl 36 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

They were Isekaid and turned into a slime that had sex with everything that moved.

But they returned now and don't want to talk about the orgies. They miss em.

I never heard of any man who will go away for hours or days? This is honestly messed up. But the way people talk about this sounds like it's normal.

[-] untorquer@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

My friendships are the kind where we won't see eachother for six months then hang out like not a day has passed.

[-] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago

Pretty much. See each other 15 times in a decade. Easily best pal over there.

[-] janNatan@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 day ago

I feel like this person is talking about a coworker who didn't come to work for a few days and doesn't wanna talk about why. I've been this coworker before, so maybe I'm just projecting.

Maybe not days, but hours? That's not really all that weird. Depending on the context, of course. But needing a few hours alone to process something is pretty reasonable imo.

Y'all made me regret it last time I told you, so...

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 78 points 1 day ago

Look, it was exhausting explaining a similar situation in the past and we just don't feel like going through the explanation phase right after dealing with the bad thing.
