'on a big pile of money with many beautiful women'

Seriously though they live with themselves because they have chosen to denigrate their victims or honest ppl as

losers, fools who deserve to be taken advantage of,
'undeserving' etc

They are also very capable of twisting the facts to make the person who gained nothing and lost much, as the culprit or antagonist as my ex lawyer n law clerk did
When I have written proof their version was untrue -- ie their own words

So they are unreasonable but in their own favour

Summed up, dehumanizing others and lacking a conscience.

no matter how much nonsense they buy and pride themselves on esp clothes n cars n things

they can't ever come across as comfortable ppl to be around
It's like their conscience is wriggling under their skin

I am the only one out of all my father's five children who isn't married, has children, and a strong social network. It pains me every day to know I am the one who got left out. I share their DNA but why was I denied the same successes they have?

Don't speculate....just transcend it. Transcend what was in the past. The past is dead. The future is now.

I wasn't given a great break in my life, either. Trust me. I've had some good breaks because I took advantage of them when they arose. I didn't want to go for the interview for my present job because of laziness---but I had a sense that it might mean something in my life, so I went for it, anyway.

Because life isn't governed by fairness, that's a human concept. The universe has made it possible and you have been given a chance to understand that life is not fair, a rather unique and special gift in of itself. What will you do with the finite time you have been given?

This is actually a worthy thing to be reminded of

Marknis do consider trying Better Help.com
It's the one thing that's kept me progressing n emotionally strengthens me long term

Truly worth it
I don't know whether u remember but I told u about it in the past and how it works
The website WD explainit too
My first therapist there was a bad one /jerk but on my sister's advice I switched and the second one has been actually helpful

If u ask fr worksheets in between therapy sessions they take a relatively small amount of time to complete
Those worksheets help the therapist understand more in depth and help u in sorting out thoughts

I know therapy can seem painful at the outset but truly it is the one thing that is worth your time esp if it's cheaper than normal therapy

I used to be very anti-vaxx once. :(

But that was when I was a dumb little kid who feared the needles worse than the diseases. :)

Civilian "life" is going nowhere



But the military contains people with the same mental illnesses and felony conviction, as civilian jobs


It's "most people" that get on my nerves


:mrgreen:

Homophobic

Talk and laugh too much and too loudly

Only care about $$ , themselves and precious lil "people" just like themselves

Condescending compliments

Peer pressure

Manipulation


They act like they have never done anything wrong before in their lives



"Holier than thou"


Judgmental


Don't tell me, my reaction

That's manipulative

Make it sound like you "care" about how I feel

But you are just Changing the subject

Making me wrong for expressing anger



Not many things are funny

They are not that funny

Nor should they be

Listening to 'actuary day in the life' video, actuary seem more to to me like a 'off-shoot' branch of accounting mixed with insurance assessing rather than the borderline clairvoyant risk assessors I thought they were. Still respect them as mathematicians though.
