I'm a terrible person and everything is awful

but

in order to comply with the rules

I have a plan!

I'm going to shoot myself with a gun

I mean, I'm sure it's not, but without providing any context, this is just a suicide threat.

okay, homps

someone asked if they could make a new thread, and i was about to say no

until i hit upon a typically brilliant solution.

you are free to moan about how you will be forever alone, but all complaining posts MUST end with a plan of action on how you're going to tackle some small aspect of the problem.

Okay?

You aren't allowed to tackle the whole thing, you aren't allowed to tackle none of it, you gotta pick a part of the problem and figure out some way to remove it from consideration.

If you don't do this, I will have fun at you.

And the things I consider fun are stunningly boring by any right-thinking person's point of view.

if anyone makes a sob story post and doesn't say anything positive in it, or says something 'i would plan but it's hopeless' then PM me. nothing is hopeless. you always have at least something tiny you can do.

now go find life partners.

Eh, even with the context it's still middling at best.

I know MrMonroe has done vastly better.

wait how the shit did this get reported for awesome?

you're supposed to report this kind of thing to a suicide prevention hotline

I would be a real hypocrite to denigrate this kind of post. It's tacky and might make some uncomfortable, but guess what, it was a thread about trying to escape loneliness.

Sometimes a human needs to pity itself without any qualifications or offer any plan about how to make it better. Fastidiousness and willpower is not an infinite resource.
