Now please everyone let's return to the subject of the thread.

Believe me, I know. It is one of the main reasons why I have been distancing myself from all of my friends in the last few years. The other reason is because I am anti-social, but even that is probably related to the inappropriate behavior.

Anyway, sorry for the derailment of the topic.

The OP isn't depressed.
They're pissed off because the world won't give them a free ride.
I've actually been depressed and it is insulting to compare depression to an attitude problem, which is what the OP has.

Are you a qualified diagnostician? If not than who are you to decide if the OP is depressed or not. I've felt/feel a lot of the same things the OP has expressed when my depression really gets ahold on me some of it still floats around in my head when I have more of a hold on it to...though less parental resentment, but maybe they OP had a much worse relationship with their parents than I have with mine. IDK unless the OP comes here and states all this is, is their pissed at not getting a free ride then I will believe that was their only purpose...otherwise they very well could feel depressed though hard to say till they perhaps come back and give some feedback on some responses.

Generally I think its terrible to be totally ingrateful to parents and so resentful you have no appreciation....but there are some exceptions like if someone is abused mentally/physically or very neglected/abandoned where I can sympathize with feeling nothing but contempt about them, maybe that was the OPs experience they did not specify so it's a little early to be jumping to conclusions that all they've got is an attitude problem. Just because your depression has never manifested in such a way does not mean no one elses does, some people with depression feel more wronged by the world than others and vice versa. I thought moderators jobs are to try and keep things as civil as possible...making accusations and judging when someones just asking to find if anyone can relate to how they feel does not seem like part of that role...sorry.

I don't think it's possible to know that from the available data.

Yes, because just like autistics, depressives are all the same, showing the exact same symptoms, with the exact same intensity and they all cope in the same way.

Granted, I am also guilty of assuming that the OP has depression. And granted, the OP sounds like a real dick at times (most people do when they are venting), but s/he also sounds like s/he has been shunned and is frustrated enough to pretty much give up on life. His/Her posts do not look like something a perfectly happy and healthy person would think, so I would rather give the benefit of doubt.

One could be shunned, this and that....but one doesn't have to be a dick. It's not necessary--and it doesn't help anybody.

However, most people do not act in a rational way once they have been pushed beyond their limits. Supposing the OP has been through enough, their selfish comments and disdain towards their may be just venting.

It's possible. Maybe the person was "venting." "Venting" is a cathartic way to get rid of anything which depresses, hurts, disconcerts, etc, a person.

Most of the time, after a few minutes of "venting," people acknowledge that they are being "dickish." They might not apologize directly--but they usually do so in an indirect manner.

I've been through quite a bit, actually. My solution is to try to be civil to people. Being civil has gotten me farther in life than if I indulged in my "inner dickiness."

It has to be made known to him, as far as I'm concerned, that acting like a jerk is not acceptable when communicating with people--and especially when you seek to connect with them.

I guess it varies from person to person. Whenever I vent, I do not get better after just a few minutes. My mood stays low for some time (weeks, usually) and it reflects on most of what I say. On the other hand, my rants are somewhat passive-aggressive and do not necessarily offend the people I am talking to.

I agree, although I do not see how mockery is the same as telling people that they are being jerks.

Anyway, the OP has not posted for a few days (and his last post was his most dickish so far). Maybe the venting is over and they have decided to either do damage control shortly or just permanently avoid this forum due to shame/guilt.

Probably the latter. Maybe he indulged too much in the Bubbly that night.

I still get a sort of pleasure when I make my parents miserable. They had me, I didn't turn out at 100%, therefore they should have to pay for it as much as possible.

Unless I kill myself I have to go another 60 something years living with the rest of you f***heads.

They brought this burden on themselves by having me. Now we find out that I have ASD when I'm 9 or so.

They now have to deal with their mistake of having me.

ZERO sympathy here. I could care less if I'm a burden.


You are a selfish, useless person. I hope you grow out of this philosophy. Otherwise you are going to have a long, miserable life...or a short tragic one (and no one will care when you die except your family).


I'll be sure to take you with me and maybe your family as well.

This threat has been reported to the moderators, and may attract attention from Law Enforcement, as well.

Rather than threaten your own life and the lives of others, you could just report the insult to the mods. A few people posted that his remark was uncalled for and I agree.
