I considered completely breaking away from/‘eliminating’ my Sage Freehaven identity as much as possible, scrapping my personal Tumblr (by way of deleting all the posts) to start fresh, and basically doing everything possible to disconnect from my Internet past to ‘restart’ myself at the start of 2014.

It's been a year since I left my awful relationship with a girl who couldn't even love herself enough to regularly wash and since then I've been so disgusted by thoughts of her I've been largely unable to find women attractive and think it's shifted me from bi to gay with a fetish for crossdressing.

I have a massive amount of racial self-loathing. I've come to the realization that it initially started as something of a bizarre defense mechanism to rationalize how I was treated and what was expected of me growing up, but it's since evolved into actual hatred and has gotten to the point that I genuinely don't think I can ever like or accept myself.

I don't hate black people, but after being robbed twice by them, nearly stabbed by another, and humiliated by them as high school bullies, I get uncomfortable around black men, especially if they have that specific ghetto accent. My fists clench up, I grind my teeth, and I want to start punching and screaming at them. Not like screaming nigger, just yelling GO AWAY GET OUT OF HERE. I haven't told anyone because I'm sure it's racist, and I've been able to just avoid this by only meeting black people from the suburbs or from the work my company does with Nigeria.

Honestly, I think your reaction is justified, as long as you don't actually act upon it. I would be pretty pissed off after being robbed twice, let alone the other shit.

Black people have done very good things to me too, and I try not to assume anything about anyone beyond their own actions. But I still have that fear, that any black man walking towards me is out to hurt me, and I have to attack them RIGHT NOW before they
attack me, but it's only boiling up for a second. It still makes me feel guilty.

I used to be obsessed with a kids/teens show. I spent a lot of time on the wikia and discovered /co/ through it.
On the wikia (and later /co/), I found people dirty-talking about a certain character both disgusting but hilarious (like imagine me pretending to be attracted to an ice-cream cone; I couldn't see how they could possibly be attracted to the character).

Me being aspie and lacking proper experience with friends at that time, I told a couple of friends about the screen caps I took in the chat and joked about them, and it became an in-joke with one friend to accuse the other of liking the character.

I got over the show mostly, and I think they've almost forgotten I ever liked it (a friend in a different group still knows I watched 'blueberry', as he called it, but he likes MLP so its cool), but it will be really awkward if they ever learn that I later became a furry and fap to that same character regularly.

I'm a bit like this towards mentally disabled people. In my adult life, I've been put in a number of situations with them, work-related and otherwise, and a large amount of them have greeted me with hostility in the form of racism, religious bigotry, and I was repeatedly sexually harassed by one of them. I reported her behavior, but the supervisors were unwilling to do anything about it.
I don't hate them, and I certainly don't condone any negative treatment of them, but I confess that I do become uneasy around them.

I'm in my mid twenties, and I've wet the bed a couple times recently. I had those dreams that I was peeing, and peed irl.

Despite all the bad things associated with marriage, I still want to get married some day.
>> No. 388226
Me too.

I think the vast majority of problems that occur with marriages come about because

1) People who get married aren't mature enough to do so
2) People get married for the wrong reasons
3) People have this romanticized ideal of what marriage is supposed to be

This is just me theorizing, though.

I hate that being rich, white, and male means suddenly none of my feelings of self-frustration, of inadequacy and uncomfortability with my lack of dependable friends actually matter, because they all stem from 'first world problems' or told to shut up at every turn by my peers. It sometimes makes me feel angry, but more it just digs at me that I can't be the unflappable person people expect me to be for all those traits.

Yes, I'm well aware I'm more better off than starving kids in Africa, and yes they're just a guild on World of Warcraft, but they're still good guildies and I still want to impress them and be part of their group and getting treated like an outcast because I don't just know everything or some small things were unknown before someone pointed them out, and I can't ask them to not call me a shitter or a faggot or a sperglord for it or it'll just keep going.

I hate that it's the same with every social group I know, everyone's throwing around shit and chewing out anything new, and I can't fit in anywhere despite trying. I know I'm not as good as other people but I still wish trying to learn wasn't treated with an equal level of dickery for not being super-aware or following the same blind channels they did.

I hate that sometimes I'll say things because I think it's all in fun but I end up pushing the wrong buttons and fucking everything up, and I hate that it keeps happening every so many months. I can't socialize for shit and then my parents get mad that I don't constantly go, when I just want to be alone until I'm ready to try again on my time. And I hate that the only people that want to hear any of this just want money for the job, and the last person I had for this just bailed on me the minute her shit got in order. Or maybe I scared her off. I don't know.

I want to be someone else. I want to not be me, because I despise me. I'm fat, I have dumb ideas, every 'great thing' I've done was because someone just forced me to do it, and I never get anything done because I'm scared of the future and my head and my place in this world, and it just makes me want to scream and scream until I'm sobbing which I do anyway. I wish I was dead all the time because maybe it'd be less exhausting and scary than thinking about now. But I'm too scared to just do anything there either.

And I hate that I have to take off my name because my history proceeds me and it'd just bog down everything here.

"Think about the things that are good in your life instead of the bad" is valid advice. "First world problems" most likely suggests you were wording something in a way that made it sound whiny and dumb instead of like a sympathetic complaint.

For example, rather than "I have concerns about the reliability of my friends," did you word it as "my friends bought the XBONE instead of the PS4 even after I explained to them why PS4 was better. Why must my life be filled with so much suffering?"
>> No. 388236
>>388235
Pretty much this.

I've had times where I've had serious family issues going on, and I hear someone complain about something dumb like how they aren't getting along with their roommate, and I just sigh and shake my head.

If someone drops "first world problems" on you, there's a good chance you're making a mountain out of a molehill. If you want to feel bad, go right ahead. You should, because we have emotions. But there is a point at which you need to step back and realize things if you have it good. Because if you have it good and things are still bothering you, I'd hazard a guess that you're suffering from depression, and probably need to go talk to a doctor or something.
>> No. 388237

How about this?

I wish I had more forgiving social circles, and I had more courage to speak up and challenge people who give me crap because I honestly don't like it, but I'm afraid that I can't prove to them I am trying to get better at the things we do and they'd see it as whining. I can't say what I want to say, so I often say nothing at all and that feels nauseating to do because there's so much I want to say.

I know I have all these things others don't, but all they do is just keep me focused on how my emotional concerns feel drowned out with 'but you did X, and you went to Y school! Be proud!' Well, I can't know what it's like to not have those be things that happened, so all I'm left with is the feeling that no one has the answer to what is bothering me here and now, or worse wants me to feel bad for them instead because of my gifts. And when I'm upset, all I have to focus on is race status and first world stuff.

I wish I could just speak, just say whatever was in my head, and people would understand what the problem really was. It's irritating that we all have so many filters that I have to reevaluate what I mean, so it gets through to people.

Is that better?

[specific to online examples only]

why would the people of the group you're trying to interact with even know that you're rich, white, and male?
the latter two are frequently implicitly assumed, but if they know you're rich then you must have told them about it; why? was it relevant to anything? did they have to know? maybe you were just being an attention whore?

jesus christ. i really hope people understand that you all people have legitimate problems and real experiences that should be acknowledged.... but that seems to be the case.

discounting anyone else's experiences because of your own is how a lot of the discrimination in the other direction happens in the first place.

sorry. basically, victims aren't always easy to deal with, regardless of if their victimization was real or imagined. the only way to fix that is to get people to step up and step out of the victim/perpetrator narratives EVEN if that's what we have and work TOGETHER.

Everyone's problems are unique to them. Just because you're not a rocket scientist does not mean your problems are not difficult on their own, especially as they are relative to your life and your ability.

That said, 2 observations:
1) The qualifyer of "rich, white, male" is usually only presented when white people try to justify inequalities with examples of their own that generally pale in comparison to the amounts of racial inequality in America. It may be wise to examine some of your assumptions about that inequality. This topic is one of those conversation killers that white people seem to stumble over. You have problems, yeah, but the inequalities of the system are much greater if you are not white. Most folks don't want to hear about your problems, because your problems are not theirs. Your problems should be addressed, but appreciate that you will have to be the one to address them, and that most people don't like hearing about other peoples' problems unless it's a problem they fix for money. But trying to compare your problems to being basically profiled by police all day every day is not an argument you can win. It may not make you comfortable but I wouldn't try and defend yourself or make arguments that you don't get a better deal. You do. Whining about it will not get you friends.
2)Lack of dependable friends may be an aspect of your social ability but it may also be an aspect of those friends. WoW players can be a very particular kind of humanity. If you are lacking in player ability, I would suggest studying up. Certain disabilities can be countered with knowledge. However I would also be mindful that these people are not very flawed people themselves. Just because somebody is good at something does not make them a good person. If everyone is *always* a faggot and shitlord to this person or persons, I might reconsider being their friends.

>I hate that it's the same with every social group I know, everyone's throwing around shit and chewing out anything new, and I can't fit in anywhere despite trying.

Or maybe I scared her off. I don't know.

Social mores can be difficult to learn, especially if you spend most of your time online where the social rules are much more important than real life. That said, I'd pay attention to those topics or jokes that really crash the conversation. Sometimes it's because the joke was uncomfortable to a specific person, sometimes it's because you dropped an opinion on a subject that marks you as ignorant and because of that ignorance, dangerous, re:racism and sexism. This doesn't mean that you have to "hide" your opinions, but rather you should examine them, and ruminate on why they are offensive. You make friends by understanding, not by offhand rejection. And again, if all they do forever is shit on other things, maybe consider getting new friends. On the internet, it's a bit different. Most people come online to vent or to wind down. A higher degree of shitting on things is accepted, but if it's 100% shit all day e'er day, do consider that they may have emotional issues.

If you want to change your life, that's up to you, but it can be useful to understand how other people live their lives first. It sucks about the therapist but she has her own life to live, dig? Everyone can only help you so much before you have to pull your end of the weight.

that's kind of weird motion to use on a dick though. i wouldn't try that technique unless it was specifically requested. however, every penis is different, and every penis has its own needs, wants, and desires. some of them don't even want handjobs, some of them only want a mouth, and perhaps some of them want some weird side-to-side wringing.

As someone who finds satisfaction in both, especially cutting, the types of psychological pleasure each provides isn't really the same. At least for me.
For me, the zit thing, while satisfying, was a bit closer to OCD. I used to pick at scabs when I was little, and the compulsion to pop zits is similar to that for me.
With cutting, I experience a sort of "high" (a relatively mild one) due to the endorphins released as a response to the pain that I cannot achieve with zit popping. Also, cutting is often utilized as a coping mechanism. I suppose zits can be too, but more often it's just popping them when they happen to show up. Unless of course, it turns out you're getting zits on purpose. I don't know man.

Also, for the purposes of this thread, I cut. I only do it on my chest, stomach, and upper legs in order to avoid drawing attention, but as a result have not been able to go swimming or anything else that involves taking off my shirt and exposing the giant, gross, permanent gashes all over my torso.

Except that when I'm alone in any bathroom with a mirror, I always take at least a minute to hunt down anything that might be a blackhead in progress and try to pop it, even if I have no obvious pimples. This often leads to unpleasant wounds, though I have enough to control to put on antibiotic and a bandage to keep myself from picking it even further once it gets nasty enough.

Thank you for your concern.
I do have a very severe, treatment resistant form of depression that I have been struggling with since I was around 13. I have seen some of the best professionals in the state for my issues and have gone through too many meds, therapies, and treatments to count, including several sessions of electro-convulsive therapy and TMS, none of which has helped. Anyway, due to stumping all my therapists and also being out of money, I am doing my best to keep busy and deal with it on my own.
I currently have a job in which I put in a lot of overtime hours, so I am usually occupied. I dislike my job, but it exhausts me to the point that I don't feel like thinking, and perhaps as a result of that I actually haven't cut in a while. I suppose that counts for something, even if I'm still pretty miserable much of the time.

So anyway, I am currently unable to seek therapy. Also, I never really considered my cutting to be a very serious issue--I never cut myself deep enough for it to be life-threatening, or even warrant a trip to the hospital, and I simply use it as a coping mechanism to prevent myself from getting overwhelmed. It doesn't cause any kind of long term damage to my health, and as I've stated before I do keep it discreet, so it doesn't even draw attention to itself like other semi-destructive coping mechanisms such as hair-pulling and nail-biting would. I do understand why some people would find it concerning, but in my particular case I don't feel it's a big deal.

>> No. 388670

You might not feel that way, but people tend to underplay their issues as a coping mechanism. Also, have you tried "other" drugs? Colorado now has marijuana available recreationally and it can be sold to out-of-state folks (though in smaller quantities), so if you're able to get away from work and make it to the state you could give it a shot. I live in CO and am considering trying some to see if it helps with my own depression.

Alternatively, cigarettes or alcohol. None of these three are great and all come with their own challenges, but they can still be less bad than the various results of your depression. If you can get your hands on it, perhaps peyote is something else to try...

>Cigarettes and Alcohol
>Good for depression
If I may opinion, as an avid user of Alcohol, Cigarettes and Weed, what you're after are actually the side effects of those products, namely the face-to-face sociality. Cigarettes, which are second only to Meth in terms of addictiveness and badness for your health, often gives you a social space to go and stand around and talk with people, and often a good excuse to talk to other users briefly, especially in noisey-er venues like dance clubs.

Alcohol is less outright addictive, however by the numbers is a little more dangerous in that drunk driving can kill more people than you. Booze itself is actually a depressant, and most of the liveliness you feel when you you drink tends to come from being uninhibited and stupid around members of whatever sex you find attractive.

Weed is good for making you not care about the pain. It is very specifically good for making you apathetic to inner pain while dealing with stuff around you. But eventually that apathy does start to affect your other drives and the weed use itself, in a depressive state, can become a hindrance to eventual healing after a time. It is very nice to forestall things though.

Didn't mean he should make them a regular thing, but those three are probably better than the cutting, and not even for the social aspect. Nicotine might calm him, weed does as you said, and I find alcohol to be calming. The few times I've drunk enough to actually feel a change, it basically made me slow down (it is a depressant), but an important part of that is that it made my mind kind of blank out. A large part of my depression is just having one huge stream of consciousness; I can never make my brain just shut up, which I think causes my mild insomnia. I still have thoughts, but they come far more slowly and so it takes much more for me to get to hating myself and remembering moments when I've fucked up. Doesn't help if I'm that way at the start, though, so he'd need some sort of distraction before imbibing.

But I'm just an internet armchair pharmacist, so any suggestion I make should be taken with a grain of salt.

I don't think cutting has too many giant negatives except for the pain, the scars, and the potential to cut ever deeper and actually hit something important and bleed out before anyone can get to you. Though I do feel like the cutters I've met IRL could've really benefited from schmokin a little herb. It's about as good as it gets for balancing drug addiction with everyday life, and the highs are incomparable, seeing as weed involves almost no pain. Smoking is not a good habit, even with Marijuana, which smoked straight has carcinogenic intake similar to a pack of cigarettes in terms of gunk lining your lungs. The difference is that THC seems to have certain possible anti-cancer properties, and can also be ingested through vaporizers, which lesson the harmful carcinogens (and butane) from entering your lungs, or edibles.

I don't condone drug use while operating heavy machinery, firearms, cars, knives, fire or dangerous ideas but it has always worked for me. I really like what Kat Williams said about it though: "if you tryina get a job, by all means make that paper boo-boo. But if you ain't doing shit with your life, sit down and smoke you some weed and see if that don't change your perspective on things."
>> No. 388686

Also, while the effect of Nicotine appears to be calming, that's actually the sensation of you feeding the addiction monkey. The physical effects of nicotine tend to behave more like you're becoming more stressed (increased blood pressure, lack of oxygen, etc). Alcohol is nice but I find it's better used to affect social situations. If you want to find that inner peace, I would actually recommend mushrooms or LSD, which still tend to exist in the "relatively safe drugs" area, mostly because it's insanely difficult to really overdose on them (people with a family history of mental disorders should still tread lightly, and I would not down a whole 1/8th of shrooms your first time, but under pleasant conditions the experience can be quite eye-opening). I might also suggest meditation of you're disturbed by stream of conscious. Sitting down and just letting my thoughts flow with my eyes closed did actually help me clear my mind. I have not tried directed meditation, merely unguided thought release.

Cutter here. Thanks for all the input. I actually have some plans in place for self-treatment and if I should experience another crisis--none of which include drug use. I didn't mean to take up as much of the thread as I did.
I am fully aware of the negative consequences of all the things mentioned. I know that alcohol is a depressant, and I use it very sparingly. I have not smoked in over a year, and have no plans to start again.
I do think that socializing would do me some good, and I plan to go to some meetups if and when I find the time.
Again, as stated before, I'm kind of in a situation in which I'm left to my own devices when it comes to treatment. And again, I don't consider the degree to which I cut to be an issue. I am doing what I can to cut down on the self-harm however, and it seems to be working.
Thanks again for the info, and best regards.

A good number of the sites I go on have dating service ads for men specifically looking for Asian women. I have absolutely nothing against interracial relationships by themselves, absolutely nothing. But the idea of people seeking out mates PURELY based on racial FETISHES never sat well with me.
To tell the truth, I'm not even entirely sure what to make of them, as I have no racial preferences myself. I have known someone who used to only find women of a certain race attractive, but after a lot of soul searching and reflection he claims to now find all women equally attractive, and his earlier bias was due to subconscious hang-ups he had that he wasn't even aware of. I suppose this confession of his helped shape my perception of people with racial fetishes, though I realize it certainly doesn't necessarily speak for all people with them.

It's just... my little sister has been getting some creepy guys with yellow fever constantly hitting on her. And in some of their flirtations, they'll make it a point that they'll "treat her better" than people of her own race, and they always assume that she's demure, obedient, and submissive. I know that part of my discomfort is due to my "big brother instinct" kicking in, but I know that I wouldn't be this uncomfortable if the blatant fetishism wasn't a factor.
It occurs to me that it could possibly be considered somewhat sexist as well, as they are idealizing a type of woman they consider to be submissive.

Again, I know this line of thought doesn't apply to everyone with racial fetishes. I just confess that past experiences have kind of colored my perception of them (I've had a couple of unpleasant experiences myself involving a batshit crazy otaku chick, I've known very unpleasant people with fetishes who were very offensive in the way they went about them, etc).

So yeah. I guess I'm confessing this here because I'm one of those morons who apparently sees injustice where no one else does, I feel like venting while not wanting to cause a shitstorm, and I'm ultimately unsure if any of my perceptions are justified.

So wait, you want us to take that comment about being sexist and racist seriously? Because that is a false dichotomy. Worrying about a person a family member may become involved with is perfectly normal, especially if the person in question is making assumptions about the family member without really knowing them. Classifying guys who come onto her by race isn't racist, the guys who are coming onto her based solely on her ethnic background are racist.

I'm not particularly sure if you're trying to stir shit or if that is your honest opinion. If it is your honest opinion, you may want to examine it as it contains very serious logical flaws that will eventually hurt you and the ones that you love. If you're just trolling, you win, I guess?

>Worrying about a person a family member may become involved with is perfectly normal, especially if the person in question is making assumptions about the family member without really knowing them
I suppose that's kind of what I was pondering. I don't consider myself overprotective, and I don't interfere with her life--she's an intelligent person and can take care of herself. I just dislike seeing someone I care about get harassed, especially over something that she takes issue with.

99% of the dating scene is based on it, speed or blind dating there's no way to learn anything about someone so you're forced to do it based on appearance, club dating you can barely hear the other person so it's all based on looks, and especially online dating. Websites have you fill out stats like height, weight, eye color, hair color, etc... pretty stupid thing to complain about in general.

Might as well say "I hate any sort of dating but between people who were previously close friends adurrr", it may be equally stupid but at least it's less offensive.

Who said anything about him judging people already in interracial relationships? He's upset because his sister is getting harassed.

He also made the distinction between relationships based solely on fetishism and those that are not. You're the only one here implying that it's all based on fetishes. He also seems to recognize that racial fetishes aren't limited to people outside of one's race, as he said he'd have just as much of a problem if an Asian guy gave her the same treatment.

Also, I think most of us are aware that a great deal of scenes and industries thrive off of stereotyping and things of that nature that aren't entirely politically correct.
That being said, all he did was state that it makes him uncomfortable for a number of reasons. He's stated he respects people's decisions, and he has no desire to control them. Are you trying to argue that his mere discomfort that his sister is getting harassed due to race is unjustified?

When I was younger I worked with a ranch, and there was a really affectionate mare who liked resting her head over my shoulder and I'd pet it and it felt really, really good, and then one day I popped a boner. That's the end of the story, I just got a chub from snuggling a mare, but ever since then I've had these really romantic notions with horses. Not like MLP shit, I mean real-life horses.

I don't like women when I think about them as 'women' anymore.

I don't have a problem with them as platonic friends or coworkers, or family and teachers and just people. But when I think about them as WOMEN, I start getting a distaste for most of what they're doing. Especially if I find them attractive. I see a pretty woman, and my brain switches to 'she is not to be trusted and has terrible ideas, AVOID HER'. It's not like even a bitterness 'nice guys finish last' thing, I get compatibility and agency and relationship 'stuff'. I just have built up this hate for women I like physically. I want to stop thinking like that, but at the same time it's making college much more comfortable, not fawning over people anymore, just walking around assuming the worst of everyone.

I don't know if this has to do with all four women I dated ending up
-cheating on me
-cheating on some other guy with me
But I guess it might.

Oh and if you're a woman on this site and we're not on good terms, it's got nothing to do with this cycle, so don't worry. I don't have feelings for anyone here.

Well women do cheat more often than men (study for married couples husbands cheat 27% of the time and women 40%). I think this is because it's just easier for us to masturbate away an orgasm every time we feel stressed, and it takes like 5 minutes tops.
Some women don't orgasm for DAYS, no wonder they're wound up all the time.

Either way, if you like it, put a ring on it, and watch it closely. To avoid getting cheated on, here's a list of the top justifications women give for seeking sex outside of their committed relationship:
1. He fails to provide adequate financial resources for the home.
2. He is emotionally unavailable. Doesn’t talk much or fail to communicate.
3. He is unaffectionate.
4. Sex with him is robotic or not satisfying.
5. He is rarely home.
6. He doesn’t compliment her, yet other men are always telling her how beautiful she is.
7. He has an alcohol or substance abuse problem.
8. She believes that he is cheating.
9. He doesn’t support her dreams or goals.
10. He doesn’t like to socialize.
11. He is addicted to gambling.
12. He is physically abusive.

>Taken together, in any given year, it looks like the actual likelihood of your relationship suffering from cheating is low — probably less than a 6 percent chance.

>But over the course of your entire relationship, the chances of infidelity may rise to as much as 25 percent. Twenty-five percent — over the course of an entire relationship — is a far cry from the 50 percent number we hear from many so-called professionals and services trying to sell you something.

>Put a ring on it and watch it closely
If you have to watch her closely you shouldn't be putting a ring on it. If you are rushing to put a ring on it in any regard, I would heavily reconsider. From where I'm sitting, divorce rates are skyrocketing because people are rushing into marriages just to do the dumb shit they should've done on the second date. If you don't think you can ever really trust your partner, then you should not be slapping "til death do us part" on that shit.

>>389822
So, you're actually afraid of your own erection. Or your own lust, rather. Given your past relationships, that's not really surprising. The hatred you feel for women is a reaction to your lust, which is not a reaction you can control, but you can control your reaction to that reaction, dig?

For the girls you cheated on other guys with, you enabled that cheating. It takes 2 to tango, friend, and if they really were doing the whole monogamy thing, they should've broken it off before they ever got to the point of trying to tempt you into it. But people are people, people want to avoid pain while maximizing pleasure. In the end that just causes more pain, but lots of folks are bad at seeing that. The girls who cheated on you, yeah they broke your heart. But where were those relationships really going? I'm not saying they're good people, but they had reasons for doing what they did, even if those were immensely selfish reasons.

Look, don't turn your hatred of yourself outwards towards women. And don't hate yourself for finding women attractive. Don't assume that this all happens in a vacuum, and that every girl is just a bag of hormones waiting for the right dick, and not a person. Just temper your reaction. You can be attracted without acting on it, and you don't have to separate the ideas of "colleagues" from "women".

What you're going through is not exactly original, and while you may feel powerful in your hatred, know that it will ultimately just leave you weak, hollow, and alone. Alone can be good at times though. Give it a little while before you try to jump back on the dating horse.

I don't know what you expect anyone to think when you tell them to keep a close eye on your significant other. It sounds downright creepy, controlling, and obsessive.

Not to mention, thinking like that means you're being untrusting as hell, and that has no place in a marriage or any other intimate relationship with another person. To live by that logic is saying, "I don't trust you at all."

If you're going to be that obsessive over a boy/girlfriend, then don't get together in the first place. I'd go nuts if some woman thought she had to keep tabs on me all the time just so I wouldn't cheat. Not to mention be outright insulted. Aside from the fact that I'm a grown man and don't need people watching me like a hawk, that's also saying to me that I'm not to be trusted at all.

Some level of initial trust is understood, but ABSOLUTE trust is earned over a period of decades, buddy. It's not a precondition to a budding boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
I mean fuck, that's like meeting a girl and saying "hurr if she doesn't immediately merge bank accounts that's saying to me that I'm not to be trusted at all".

>If you're going to be that obsessive over a boy/girlfriend, then don't get together in the first place.

I realized today that I would perfectly happy to live in a world where I owned a slave. Not a sex slave, literal slaves.

That because I was born someone of good standing, of the proper race and gender, I had the power to directly run the lives of others as divine writ and law approval. No consent or contract, I had the power of another in my hand. It's actually sort of a prideful rush. No matter how bad I am, or how much I failed, I would be better than others because of things I never did. That power would be amazing, living assured that you are permanently better than many other people.

If I, living in a world of equality and the belief in the drive of a man's own worth by their own character, could see the allure of that ancient power, is it any wonder we've only now started to collectively agree people shouldn't have that power? We all act as if time only matters from around the fall of the Roman Empire on, but we've been around for millions of years, how long in that scope have we all decided to mostly say that people owning other people is a bad thing. Is it any wonder we haven't worked out the kinks yet? Is it any wonder that our empathy hits so many brick walls?

The scariest thought is the idea that someday we all just decide the old way was better for some reason.

I have anger and nowhere to put it.

I want to just talk and talk and talk and just have someone understand that because I say the things I want to say it doesn't mean I am convicted in them. I don't like having these thoughts, these reactions, but every way of just bottling them up makes it worse. I don't want these emotions, but I feel under attack to be not only better, but more humble, more self-affacing, more almsgiving, more and more and just work and work for everyone but myself while remembering that I'm an oppressor, I'm part of a people that explictly went out to fuck the world just because we could.

And then there's a thought that maybe they don't deserve it. All they do is beg and point and scream and moan while they want more and more and more. And I don't want to save the world anymore. I want it to burn. I want all these niggers shucking and jiving and playing their shitty UHH UGHH UHHH RIMSSSS G music that hurts my ears to squawk wtih their necks pslit for all the vilence they throw out and every rape cultre screaminag feminaatyst to just be split open and brrraena counts so they never passon their whinig shit agin whiech was lla just an xcuse to drainme dry andn leav for someon els and everybody lef with a work etihsc can yjoin the civilized world and make something of thesmelves and not be a pathological drain who get away withit because their empathy thought they were cute nad now they want to kill me and i have to kill them first i cant be save unless thery all just die right now or are so far away in theitr muck they can't uuhrt me

I don't want that in my head, I want to be able to just look at individuals and be happy for what we do but all I feel is just anger hot and locking and I can't talk to anyone because they'll just say it's wrong and abandon me. I don't want to hate women, I don't want to hate balck people but everything I've tried so far just makes it worse, with some sort of thing about hating who I am because of my past and it wil lbe fixed if i give energy to them but I don't trust them to not hurt me and I know it's not real but what if it isnt what if they awnt my flesh and to burn my and my peopel down and everything is true and they hav e to be stopped hnow RIGFHT NOW

There isn't anywhere to really "put it". There is no easy answer for letting go of rage except to let go of it, and even that isn't a simple proposition.

Your perceptions of these people that you loathe so dearly are often misperceptions, and they are often fed to you by other people who hold those same misperceptions. These people you hate, they are simply demanding the same respect that you are given every day of your life; the right to exist as they please and be respected for that existence. Yeah, some kid may play his music loud, and some of the SJWs on tumblr may scream about using correct nouns that they made up, but these sorts of things are trivial, and do not reflect the actual realities of the world.

Look, some people will always want to hurt other people, and they may use their ideological platforms to do that. Taken altogether though, there is no conspiracy against White Males. White males are the ones who undercut themselves by thinking that shit, and re-enforce their own paranoia by spreading it around. What do you think is going to happen? You're going to have your dick cut off because you're more sensitive to other peoples' needs? That's ridiculous, and in the event of bodily harm, you still have the right to defend yourself. But do ask yourself why you feel like these people are taking something away from you? Is it your masculinity? If treating people decently is so threatening to any one part of your character, ask yourself why that is. Do you have concrete examples? Who is telling you all this? Hatred is learned, not ingrained.

And look, just because equality is the thing we should strive for, that does not mean you constantly have to surround yourself with people who stress you. You don't have to hang around tumblr, you don't have to hang around loud, obnoxious people. But be aware that some of those loud obnoxious people might be your own family, or your friends. Really, questioning yourself on where this hatred is coming from is the best thing you can do.

Anger is like a gas stove that everyone has. A little bit of it can be motivating, useful to get something done. If you keep turning it up, pouring on the fuel, then eventually you're going to burn your life down, and as much as you'll want to blame other people, the only people actually at fault will be yourself. Just turn it down, stop feeding the flame so much. Look at your text when you go into serious anger mode up there and ask yourself if that's something you're proud of.
>> No. 390281

That's the scary bit. When I'm not in those panicked blind rage spots, all you're saying makes sense. Of course people want respect like that, that's what people do. Of course there isn't a conspiracy against White Males. Of course no one's going to castrate me. I guess it just gets built up from encounters and such. Things have happened over the years that just built up that fear, and those fears boiled into hate and rage.

I guess this is sort of confessions so I'll just keep going from here. When I was 17, I remember getting a ride from a friend back to my house and I was really on a jokey high, and outside I saw three black kids fighting over a shirt. So, I rolled down the window and I said, 'girls, girls, please, it looks pretty on all of you. Just flair it up a bit and no one will notice they're the same.' It was just supposed to be like a joke on that old 'oh shit we want to wear the same thing to a social event and now we're fighting' joke about dresses and stuff... and it led to them chasing us with sticks and stones screaming RACIST CRACKA and getting more people to join in before we lost them after the traffic cleared out, and that guy was just so angry he dropped me off at a Gas Station nearby, and I had to call my parents to explain what happened. Everyone was looking at me and I was scared they'd recognize me until I got my ride and I wouldn't say the whole story to my parents.

Since then, I've been robbed and screamed at and shut down by black people I've tried to be friends with, and it boils up that event even more that black people aren't friendly, they aren't able to let go, and they're violent. And I know that's not true, that's not what they're like, I know good black people too. Good friends, great teachers, friendly police officers and the coolest damn shopkeep ever. But it's built and built and I can't get it out of my head.

Or the feminists. When I tried to socialize in college, it's just been disasters. I had a class with political issues of feminism, and for a study meeting, I got mad and angrily texted 'where the fuck is everybody, why you gotta keep not being where you said you were' because I didn't see them in the building I thought they were going to be. Turns out
1. They'd rescheduled and rechose the location without telling me, by accident they say
2. Because of my text I was reported to the Dean for threatening attitudes
And while the Dean at least saw this was just me frustrated at being kept out of the loop it all spread and suddenly I was the pariah. This was also going on when that Sinfest comic was going through its Sisterhood reboot and something I'd used as a funny joke for pastimes was also turning into a feminist self-hating inversion of itself.

And then I tried having a discussion about feminism in the cafeteria one time with a girl, and it just boiled over into her going that I was condoning her fears of rape and I wasn't sure what to say, so I tried to get away from that and go 'you know what, maybe we can find some common ground, you like public health care' she says yes so I go 'me too, I think that whether you're lame or sick you shouldn-' and she cuts me off and says 'don't say lame. that's ableist' and I was thinking WHAT, becuase I was just talking like you'd broken your leg or your arm and couldn't work, so I tried to double back and go 'okay, I meant that whether you're sick or you've broken your arm I-' and she screams 'I AM NOT A BROKEN PERSON!!!' and I fall from my seat and I don't remember what I said but that built into us getting seperated and I tried to talk about that phone incident to this other guy cooling down, and I was told that that's not okay to do either. I can't ever be angry with women, and eventually a good 60% of the people I knew wouldn't talk to me anymore after the dust settled, and I've been pretty much isolated at college these past two years.

So then around that time I guess my interests in porn and such also bled into BDSM and sadism, and it felt like I wanted to be that sort of guy that'd have that sort of relationship, and then online people are calling it harmful to women, and building on sexist stuff and whatever, and I don't know whether I'm being honest with myself or I'm just building on some internalized hatred of women or I'm just confused or I really am a monster and a big mixed up puddle of my relationships being a series of being cheated on, or learning midway through I was being the guy she was cheating on with someone else, and my trust of women as friends or lovers has gone all fucked up.

I worry if I give black people the benefit of the doubt they'll hurt me for it.
I worry if I give women a chance again I'll just lose more friends.

But really, all of that shit, I just want to tell whoever I can I'm sorry. I'm sorry I said things that got you into these reactions against me, I'm sorry I say things that seem prideful and entitled and hurt people. I'm sorry I take jokes too far, and can't make it right. And I just want someone to forgive me for it. I don't want this hovering as a mark on me anymore, and the worst part is I said all that to my parents and they just tried to sell Jesus on me. I don't want gods to forgive, I want people to forgive me. People I know, people I see understand that I fuck up, and i'm trying to be good, but I fck up and I worry that I can't find that... and I just want to hide from it all.

It's okay dude. I know that pain you're talking about. I've had that. There are a lot of people in my life, I wish I could say that to. And I'll never get the chance. I can't ever have it; I can't force my own forgiveness on those that don't want to grant it.

As to the incidents throughout your life, there's something you have to recognize: you can't be part of every club. You can't yell at random people on the street and expect them to think that you mean well. Even if it is shitty when people exclude you from something, you can't get mad at them. Getting mad at them justifies their mental picture of you. You just have to keep on and find your own way. That didn't sound like a good class on feminism, or even on civil rights, and it is shitty when people purposefully uninclude you and then lie to you about the reasons. People often lie like that when they feel themselves uncomfortable about confronting a problem. Understand that many women are assaulted and molested, many of them have a real reason to fear men and a lot of them almost never get any forum or avenue to discuss that or air their grief until they get to those classes. And as admirable as it is that you wanted to understand and be included, you understand that even if you aren't the person who hurt them originally, you're wearing his face, y'know? It's okay to be angry at people, but if they make you angry, it's much better to simply not hang out or be around them. Do not give in to that temptation to be angry, and do not fuel it by trying to force uneasy co-existence. Be the bigger person, recognize you made a mistake, and try not to do it again.

Look, often the best thing you, as a white guy, can do, is just not mess with people. Leave them alone. You can't ever really know "the struggle" like they have lived the struggle every day of their lives. You're a tourist, I'm a tourist, even if we subject ourselves to that pain, it's a pain we have to interject into our lives, whereas it's a kind of pain that they can never escape; it's background radiation for them. Often, the best thing you can do to show support is to do nothing but silently cast your vote in the favor of equality. You can't ever join the club because white people still elbow you and say "those niggers", men still elbow you and say "those stupid cunts". And it's almost impossible to face those people down about those prejudices, because they aren't receptive to how fucked up they are yet. All you can do is simply move away from them, stop hanging out with them. Send the unspoken signal that something about them does not sit right with you.

It's alright man. Just understand your pain and work towards your goals. Just go about your business and try not to engage any of these people who you feel like are branding you. You can make amends later, but you have to stop feeding your own anger, and start trying to understand why other people might feel like this. And again, you don't have to hang out with them, that doesn't make you instant friends with everybody. But be polite, be respectful, and stand up for what's right when it is needed.

For far longer than it should have taken me, I thought this character's full name was Scotty Pippen.

I am scared that a good decade of kissing my petsand the odd inanimate plush has fucked me up.
What if I kiss a girl, and I get horribly confused?
where's the fur, I'll think.

A lot of people kiss their pets...on the top of the head.
Which is probably as far as it should ever ever go.
