Who are the dumb-asses that set off fireworks in the middle of the day? If you know, punch them for me please.

Pete Davidson is the actor equivalent of Orange Cassidy. He's in about every third segment on television and I don't know anyone who actually likes him. He's in commercials for like three or four different things...and his gimmick is exactly the same in every single one (buy this thing, or don't...I don't really care. I'm Pete Davidson) - This asshole is trying to sell me Taco Bell, bottled water, pretty sure I saw him in a phone ad or something. It's wild.

[StillDriven]

You guys can call me StillDriven, I just finished shedding a few tears while I was alone in my office at work. I am currently going through some financial struggles right now. I got bills on top of bills that I owe and I am currently waiting on my second job to contact me and hire me. 

I have been a fan of wrestling since I was 11 years old. I am a DIEHARD fan of Women in Wrestling, I think they are incredible with so much value in the history of wrestling. The female wrestlers, the managers, the valets, I just love them all. My favorite female wrestler ever is Trish Stratus. Thank You Trish.

Being here on the forum has been a nice and cool way to interact with fellow wrestling fans. This forum has been my little social clique on the internet and it's been pretty cool so far. I like playing WWE 2K23 a lot and I look forward to discussing 2K24 with you guys and counting down the days until it arrives. Thank you guys and let's have some fun.

Work sucks....

[Generations]

I have absolutely no direction or drive after a bad breakup last year, and I just honestly don't know what the point of anything is. I'm not depressed, per say...I'm in a generally pleasant mood most days. I don't want to die. I still enjoy life. But, there is this general nagging "none of this means shit" feeling in the back of my mind 24/7. 

To make matters worse, people always give the same "plenty of fish in the sea" and "things will get better" advice...but, they don't even listen to me when I tell them that it isn't really a relationship thing at this point. It's more like...I lost faith in everything after the things that happened. Having someone whom I trusted be the one to teach me lessons about how easy it is for people to lie right to your face...it really changed who I am.

I was never a naive person, but I gave people the benefit of the doubt. Being gaslit for so long really changed that. And I really don't know how to reengage with life in general. I live in a small town and I don't drive. I had to quit my job to get away from that negative situation almost a year ago. Now I'm just isolated. I thought I would pick up the pieces by now. But, it's such a tough place to exist, man...I don't know what I did to deserve it.

 

I know this is pretty much all I ever talk about in this thread...but, it's really an all-encompassing issue for me since it occurred. I simultaneously want to meet new people, but also don't trust anyone. That relationship ending really broke my entire psyche. I feel like I'm still a good person who can offer companionship and love to someone...but, I don't think I can let my walls down anymore. How do you ever undo that once it's been established? Logically, I know that most people are not alright with acting the way she did or treating people the way she did...and I have to believe that. But, it doesn't get any easier to trust that to be true.

So...for all intents and purposes, I'm basically stuck in my house with limited interaction with too many people, and I don't drive, and I have been out of work for a year. And I know I'm wasting the best years of my adult life...but I don't know how to change anything. I never thought I would be in this kind of position where I could see everything just fall down around me and have no idea how to fix any of it.

Sometimes all it really takes is one person to change your life for the better or the worse. And I hate that mentality, too...because I don't consider myself a victim. But, this whole situation goes above and beyond anything that I was ever prepared to handle.

I don't know if what I'm going to say is what you want to hear or even if I'm gonna make any sense, but I'm gonna try.

I'm kinda in the same boat as you, I really tend to distrust people or at least to keep an eye out, and I'm also pretty much isolated in my house most of the time just playing videogames, watching stuff on youtube and learning some English, besides doing some exercise everyday. The difference is, and I don't even know if this is gonna matter, I've never had yet a girlfriend or a job. Yet, I'm desperate for the first and depressed because I should be doing the second but I'm a freaking scared baby about it.

My best friend during high school and university era, had a bunch of people who he called "friends" or at least "good classmates" to betray him like he was just a temporary tool, so he became a very distrusting person too.

But, I show him everyday that good, authentic people with no other evil intention than to love and be loved exist, and he constantly thanks me for it with awesome details like paying our meals, gifting me videogames for my birthday or even telling me painful truths to the face. We both endured and continue to endure so much, but keep on going with a smile on our faces just trying our hardest to enjoy the stuff we like and keeping the dark side of the mind caged. 

So, all in all, what I'm trying to say is, don't lose faith on people. Like I said I understand you because even if I die at 80 years old I know I will die with this general distrust on people because it is basically ingrained in my dna at this point, and it seems like is going to be the case with you now, but I encourage you to not lose faith. I'm not saying you should welcome everybody with open arms, just be vigilant and keep an eye out, while still trying to interact how you would normally do, and the moment you see or hear something fishy, just ditch them.

You're gonna live now with this feeling of not fully trusting anyone you ever meet from now on, and that's ok, just know that for every fake asshole out there there is also one priceless authentic person awaiting to love, and to be loved. I'm still waiting (girlfriend wise). So keep being yourself and doing your thing, focus on the hobbies and stuff you enjoy and TRY to get into daily exercise if you don't already do. Just go with the flow. The meaning is happiness, find yours. Whatever it is, whatever it takes, whomever it involves. Fight for it.

I apologize if this isn't what you wanted to hear, but I wanted to help.

I wish you, and StillDriven and all the guys posting here with their hardships all the best, and to hopefully see you posting in the counterpart of this thread soon.

I lost my mum on the 9th of September. She died from a combination of heart problems and renal failure, which started to be noticeable following a heart attack in March of last year. She was put on dialysis when they discovered her kidneys were failing, but she got her lines pulled out in August at a hospice she attended. Such foolish carers.

The blooming NHS in Scotland ended her dialysis after a nurse visited her at home while she was unwell, and overdosed her. Paramedics came and then my mum was unresponsive for several days up to her passing in hospital. But just as she passed, she gasped loudly and many toxins came up. I believe her catheters being removed caused a serious infection in her lungs, and she only received dialysis once on the 29th of August. Therefore, her body would have fell victim to the toxins in her system, as a dialysis patient usually requires blood filtering procedures three times per week.

That's so very sad. My mother was like my best friend. She certainly supported me through a lot of grief in my life. I felt powerless to help her, which is sad and unfortunate, as she always supported me. However, her fate was just left in the hands of the wrong people.

^ Well, that all sounds horrible in every single way. 

Condolences.

Thanks, man.

My condelences. Doctors and hospital staff can be very incompetent here in Spain too. I feel you, my mom is my best friend too. I wish you well and I hope you can keep going forward after this.
