[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here, I travelled for a month and it was fun but it still felt lonely. I have hobbies but they only keep me distracted. I have girls that are interested in me but I compare them to my ex. To the person saying I haven’t struggled my whole life, I actually grew up with very little and my parents both worked while my brother raised me. I worked my ass off my whole life to get to where I’m at now. In fact because of many poor life decisions, I am single now and make less money than I should be (1 million a year but more risk and I was inexperienced with starting a business) I want to start a family but I am struggling to find a girl that has both looks and personality. In my friend circle I have two close friends who make the same or more than me. This is the reality of today’s economy but people just aren’t aware…[/quote] There are people who "work their ass off" and are destroyed by injury, disability, mental illness, horrifying life events, and things you couldn't imagine in your privileged, distorted bubble where you and your two close friends think you live in reality. I'm the other 35-year old who called you out for never having struggled. Your reply confirms my assessment. I have worked my ass off my whole life as well, but faced horrors and evils that would clearly k*ll you and destroy your fragile cocoon. I have to attend to my mental health every day on top of facing responsibilities and daily life. The reality of today's economy is that billionaires and UMC a**holes (like you) are not paying their fair share of taxes, and there are more and more homeless people dying and starving on the streets of our most prestigious cities. The reality of today's economy is that able-bodied privilege is destroying equally qualified and talented people in the work force who are chronically ill or disabled, a fact which neither Kamala Harris nor Donald Trump seem to care about. You've done nothing special to get what you have and if losing an LTR could make you have a sad puppy moment online, it's very clear you've never faced real life.[/quote] DP. Notice how she immediately went on the attack when she realized OP is a man?[/quote] Um, what?? No, I would say the same thing to Sheryl Sandberg. The underlying theme of my post was privilege, especially socio-economic privilege and able-bodied privilege. I also didn't take it for granted that OP is male - I suspected he was male but being male wasn't the source of his oblivious, self-satisfied distorted privilege bubble. Or I'd have pointed that out in my replies to him (and I still don't know for sure it's a him - so why did you make that assumption?).[/quote]
