When you have sex, you'll realise. Not because it's that good, but because it's addictive. Once you're popped, you can't stop. Like pringles.

Yes, defect. We're talking about genetics here. Anything that makes your chance of reproducing extremely low to the point of being nominal is a pretty big problem for your genome.

Were it to magically effect the entire population at once the entirety of humanity could likely end up extinct from it. I think that's a pretty good definition of something genetic being a "defect".

Granted, just because someone has a genetic defect doesn't mean they're bad and don't deserve just as much respect as anyone else. They're still human. Just like I wouldn't treat anyone born sterile badly in any way, I wouldn't treat anyone born asexual badly in any way. They have the same rights as me as a human. But that doesn't mean I can't recognize the genetic condition as a defect.

You have to look at a bigger picture. If you let a population frow too big, it will come crashing down. Homosexuals and asexuals could be a result keeping numbers in check. It's not about producing as much offspring as possible; you have to be able to take care of them too.

But all of those would still be problems for you except the accidental babies & small dick. If you have a sex drive, you're going to treat women differently and have a strong desire to masturbate. It doesn't really matter if you get laid in the end or not.

ME.
IT'S SO TERRIBLE.
I HATE IT.

I literally have an addiction... to masturbation! It's very embarrassing.

I've gotten far better now but it's been tough to stop doing it completely. I struggle with just doing it only once a week. For a long time I did it an average of one or more times per-day in a week.

I'm pretty sure it made my depression worse (dopamine release chemical stuff; using it as a "pick me up"). I began to need to masturbate in order to feel normal. I've wasted up to four hours of a day trying to continuously get it off even.

Anyways now I'm a walking hypocrite about sex and masturbation.
A lot of the time I'm frowning as I climax because I'm sad at what I've just done.

I was going to post this in spoiler tags but then I realized I both don't want to get notifications about this and I'd like to not have it all hidden under a spoiler tag. So X post as anon it is. I begun doing it in 5th grade so it's been about 8 or 9 years of this.

Holy, that is quite the addication. Mhm, I would advice either seeking proffesional help or fixing the depression (I know, ''just'' fixing it is never te case) but...

I'm no longer depressed despite never seeking professional help or taking medication (that is a long story for another time) and I no longer masturbate nearly as much as I used to. Now it's more of a bad habit that I need to keep trying to ween myself off of. I would say that the first step to fixing a problem is identifying the problem.

Look at ants, each is a complete altruist, ready to sacrifice themself in a moments notice for the greater good (or if you're a moribund ant just to close the door every night) and the reason that behavoir exists is because ants don't need to worry about reproduction, no natural selection to favor their more selfish members because none of them reproduce regaurdless of their behavoir, so there is only evolutionary benefit in creating selfless ants

Oh cut the **** . People give people with non-generalized sexualities **** because of the majority that brings it on themselves. Plus, it's because everything we've ever been taught tells us it's wrong.

Now you may be thinking "But Psychologyxplain, my parents raised me to be loving and understanding of others!", which I certainly hope is the issue. But we're going to leave the realms of psychology and go talk to her hot, kinky sister named Sociology. People thrive off of a hive mind whenever it is that they're in a situation where they can blindly follow. People call them "Sheeple", but it's less that they're sheeple and more that the people leading are more in-tune than they are. It has to do with the concept of "Mob Mentality", in which people will basically follow any cause as long as the person seems charismatic enough and words it well. Mixing this in with our psychological archetypes put in place by our centuries of ancestors, we reach a dilemma. We are taught the way things work from the most productive, EASIEST system. In the past, complicated meant more to remember, meaning more room for error, meaning death. There are people, however, that can establish the more complex aspects of deliberation and make them easilly understandable to the masses. These people are usually the leaders of countries, generals, strategists, architects, etc. So we know that:
Man + Woman = Baby
Baby = More People
More People = More work done + Safety in numbers
Based on that model, heterosexuality because accepted as a societal norm. So when you have a large group of people who are drawing attention to themselves and making a show of how special they are, then we psychologically DISCONNECT with them, due to their obvious differences. Ever wonder why social outcasts are social outcasts? Sure, society sends them to the Untouchable zone...but why? It's because by them being different, we're introducing diversity. Diversity in itself is fine and all, it creates for more opportunities. But when your diversity exceeds the socio-cognitive behaviorisms that we've come to expect, it leads to a strain in your subconscious. These people are sticking out, being different, meaning:
Less people = Less Work
Less people = Less safety
Less safety = More Deaths
More Deaths = Less people
This chain of thought becomes attributed to that person, which is blamed on the cliche as they attracted such a person, and BOOM! Stereotypes are born.

Ironically, the same things we complain about are suusally within our abilities to fix. So don't sit here and blame people who are closed minded, blame the people who MADE them closed minded. Anything other than heterosexuality is a DEFECTUAL DISORDER. That's right SJW's, lemme hear it. It's a scientific, medically recognized FACT that anything that is NOT cis-heterosexuality is a disorder/defect. This is because it strays from the norm. Now, a defect doesn't mean it is MORALLY or SOCIALLY wrong. If that was the case, blue eyed people would be killed more than female Chinese babies. I stand firmly by the fact that it's not racist or sexist or close-minded if it's a fact.

So basically anon, try approaching the community of those who are doing WRONG. Blaming people for being uninformed and then raging at them for asking questions to become informed then having a tantrum because they decided they don't care about your **** anymore is not gonna fix anything I'm not saying that's what YOU are doing, I am pointing out another fact

Semper Praesans,

A lot of what you said is true, and I admit that part of this is me playing devil's advocate.

If you're going to be "arguing medically recognized fact", then you have to clarify what exactly you mean by "disorder". Because the word has a couple of meanings separated by situations and nuances, and to classify something as "Medical Disorder" or "Mental Disorder", it has to pass the criterion of "causes dysfunction". It's kind of semantics here, honestly, but certain areas of non-heterosexuality do not inherently lead to any mental or physical dysfunction.

Some might be caused through sexual practices (medical) or social rejection (mental) and whatnot, but I don't think we're ever going to see debates over whether or not Homosexuality should be reinstated into the DSM as a mental disorder, and it isn't going anywhere as a medical disorder because there is nothing physically different about homosexuals that directly causes dysfunction. And I can imagine that the majority of medical professionals would not describe Homosexuality as a "Disorder" for that very reason. Mind you every professional has his or her own bias on these type things.

So while you're right in that it's sociologically abnormal, I feel that you're slightly off on the use of "is a disorder" as classification at least for that. Mind you, it could be stated that "It's biologically dysfunctional because it does not involve the norm of desiring straight sex, which serves the purpose of reproduction", but then again a lot of people desire sex without the desire to procreate, it's why we invented birth control. If we classified everything that is sociologically abnormal as a disorder, then being a social outcast would be a disorder by default, among several other things that millions of healthy people do because they are not done by the majority.

That said, I limit that mainly to Homosexuality, Bisexuality and the like. Asexuality is basically a representation of actual physiological dysfunction, and even though in a lot of asexual people they can do fine with it and it doesn't bother them, there is still some level of dysfunction involved here, so calling it a disorder isn't too far off the mark. And Transgenderism I feel deserve the classification of a "disorder" because, let's be honest, if you're transgendered, you either have Gender Dysphoria or you're just an idiot who wants to look special.

Again, it's a bit semantic and we may differ on definitions here, but I wanted to add that. And yes, open-mindedness should be a good value regardless of whether or not something is a disorder or not.

#372 to #371 - psychologyxplain (12/18/2015) [-]

But see friend, that's where you're wrong. Sexual Dysphoria is the cause of homosexuality, as Gender Dysphoria is the cause of transexuality. These are diagnosable situations that have homsexuality and transexuality as a symptom . THAT'S why they're categorically a disorder and DO cause dysfunction, enough to where it's often coupled with 2 Axis I's (Usually some form of depressive disorder, mood/personality disorders, and in severe cases where the person may have suffered severe trauma from it, schizoaffective disorders) and in some cases anxiety disorders (Which are Axis II's). As you've already said, I do not at all believe that homosexuality should be reinstated into the DSM. There's nothing wrong with it socially, but that doesn't change the fact that it's caused by a recognizable, diagnosable and (In some cases) treatable mental disorder. The ONLY amendment I'll make to my previous comment is that I should have specified that when I say homosexuality is a disorder, I'm implying that it is a symptom of a disorder.

Also, a psychological disorder is anything that interferes with your daily life, makes it less liveable, causes you serious detriment, etc. So the diagnostic criterion is different for psychosomatic disorders than they are for purely somatic disorders. You also have to make sure to NOT let Political Correctness leave you blind, my friend. Just because we accept it, doesn't mean it doesn't cause detriments to people's lives. But, at the same time, half the time it's from internalized personal struggle, sexual repression and self-hatred, but a lot of the detriment comes from other people.

So yeah, I get where you're coming from. I stand by my point, but I get it. I also respect the fact that you voiced your different opinion without having to stoop to calling me names and **** . I LOVE discussing things, but when people start flinging **** then I'm gonna duck and cover.

Admittedly I have not studied the DSM in full so I can't say really argue too much when it comes to it. But at the same time, there's a reason a disorder in the DSM has several symptoms and criteria; one symptom does not make a disorder. I wasn't saying there was no detriment in the lives of non-heterosexuals, I was just saying those detriments are caused by different factors of a bigger problem. Besides, I only brought it up because it's an easy go-to, the DSM is not the be-all end-all for classifying psychiatric/psychosomatic disorders and it's constantly being debated. And it is like you said, that those detriments to those peoples' lives are caused by several extra things.

That said, I can be a bit of a pedantic stickler with these kinds of things and frankly you're not really part of the problem here, so I'm not that concerned with trying to change your view when we're largely on the same page.

You don't have to be friends with all of them, there are indeed people who are a bit weird and annoying, but you just don't bother them and they don't bother you, you just hang out with the people you do like. There are no rules that mean you have to play with everybody there. At my local board game night there are two guys who play the same game for the whole night every week. Everybody else just play games together and have a great time and they just keep to themselves. It's a case of respect and acceptance, doesn't mean you have to become besties.

I disagree, people on the internet will tell you to kill yourself over a certain political standing, why would their opinion of you ever matter? As long as the people around you tell you that you are fine, and reasonable people whom you can have a conversation with will confirm this. I don't see a reason to believe otherwise. This doesn't mean you should put yourself in a hugbox, but atleast only regard the opinions of people who can converse properly unlike the "I disagree kill yourself people".

Not as social is not the same as anti-social. I meant a hobby for people who are generally not that socially adept, but are really accepting of other peoples lack in social abilities aswell. Hobbies where you often find these people are magic the gathering or warhammer 40k, or other similar "nerd" hobbies. Personally I go to a weekly boardgame night. Everbody is really nice there. I used to play MTG and my local store had a lot of oddballs but everybody accepted each other for their quirks.

Therapists maybe, but psychiatrists will most likely have patients that have had it worse than you. If everything is as bad as you say it is, you need to look for help. Often people are hesitant to step you you, so if you don't have friends/family that can help a psychiatrist is a helpful if not expensive option.

Well that's true, but I look at it from a different perspective.
I have reachable goals and dreams in this life, most people do. Even life is depressing, being negative and depressed won't help me reach those goals. A positive attitude is not something I have because good things happen to me I have it because it makes those **** things easier to endure. I'd rather not have depression take a few years of my life where I could enjoy life or make progress to my end goals.

TLDR: being negative and depressed has no benefits, having a positive attitude does.

Sorry I read that as "Mate life sucks" so I made a general statement not one regarding you specifically. Being an anonymous person on the internet most likely half across the world, the best suggestion I can give you is try to focus on things you do enjoy, only pay attention to the opinion of people you care about and try to approach things with a smile, instead of always expecting the worse possible outcome.
I used to be a cynical asshole and viewing things from a positive approach with an openmind has greatly improved my life.

Adding bluetooth devices on a PC is actually nearly as easy as connecting to WiFi, but I can see why you'd prefer the feeling of playing on a console over a PC. Many PC gamers like to have powerful PCs with the best hardware and will always argue that a good gaming PC is all around better (and they're not wrong) but there's nothing wrong with not going for top of the line graphics inb4 "consoles are weak and hold gaming back"

See, the thing is you can't have technological ignorance be the reason you tell people you prefer console gaming over PC gaming. If you do that's fine, but if preferring controllers are your reason, and wireless controllers can work perfectly fine on a PC, it just makes you look ignorant to the opposing side, and makes your opinion hold less weight.

But seriously tho, why get married?
The divorce rate is at an all time high, marriage at an all time low.
Mariages have a bout a 50% chance of ending in divorce.
70% of all divorces are initiated by women.
You will lose your house, your kids, and your money.
The courts are almost virtually obligated to take the woman's side, so good luck.

If a girl is independent and has her own career and isn't focused on shes a empowered woman, and people compliment her but if a guy says he's not obsessed with pussy (and basically does the same thing as the girl), society calls him a loser, he must be some autist or faggot. Something must be wrong with him.

It's double standards like these and the extremely hostile legal environment that men have to put up with thanks to feminism and the modern woman that has made marriage and extremely risky prospect where men basically bear all the risks. Because girls can cheat on their husbands, and still bail with divorce and alimony and half your stuff and your kids. This has happened more than once and it will happen again. Not to mention if a girl decides to accuse you of rape, the law WILL take her side. I remember reading about male victims of domestic violence who called the cops for help, but ended up begin the ones getting arrested.

That's the kind of world we live in.
It's became an even more dangerous and hostile place for men.
So I ask you all again,

Why get married?

You'd be stupid to marry someone who would then **** you over, but people fall out of love and **** happens, it's life. You're kind of talking about women like men are taking in a wild animal as a pet, and it could lash out and **** you up at any given time, what happened?

If I'm restless, I'll go look for an Escort.

Why get involved with a woman who doesn't think and act EXACTLY as you do? Men become possessed by this idea of Total Fulfillment, they start to see (thanks to a steady stream of propaganda) serious relationships and marriage as the way of attaining that fulfillment.

Most women who are actively seeking a relationship are solely out to capitalize on that. They're fed the same propaganda, but instead of seeing a woman, they see a man who will do anything for them.

Now throw in an economy that does not favor the Individual OR the Family Unit. What do you get? A recipe for disaster. One gets bored, starts playing fast-and-lose. Cheating, stealing money. Eventually they get bored of that and want to walk out on the whole charade with as much as they can. Back to Square One.

This is why we need Individualism more than anything right now. People keep viewing relationships as a simple goal, and not a natural phenomenon. They go after people they barely know in an unhealthy form of social maneuvering...

Unhealthy, simply unhealthy.

Logically, yes it is a risky business to get married or get attached in anyway. Love is a risky business, but it's one of great power. Think risk vs reward. How rewarding can a relationship be if it's 100% safe?

When you put your trust in another, when you open yourself up to them, show them your weaknessess, and they accept you, is when a relationship becomes more than dollars and cents.

Yes, except in the case of divorces, women have the legal advantage: custody, kids, alimony, child support, your house, etc. You bear all the risk. You could argue that women bear the children, but this literally just gives them more legal leverage, and more money. The scales are tipped, but in womens favor almost every time.

.
on that note, people can also choose to have a serious and committed lifelong relationship without a marriage, in this day and age.

TLDR for the rant below: the legal details can get very interesting

People can even have a wedding without a marriage just like they can have a marriage without a wedding. and thats because weddings and marriages are actually two different things (just google the definition of each).

a wedding is a cultural/religious ceremony and celebration that anyone can have without a marriage license. and a marriage is a legally binding contract between 3 parties: two people and the local government.

be careful in some of the common-law states as technically it is possible to inadvertantly enter into a marriage contract without even signing anything in the US.
examples include doing things like sharing a home with a person for a minimum period of time, or casually making a verbal declaration to a 3rd party witness using keywords like "married", "husband", "wife".
This sometimes becomes a problem when a sneaky golddigger tries to trap a rich spouse into paying out, or when the state seeks to collect on unpaid taxes.
Most of those old yet still active laws pertain specifically to a 1man1woman couple. (if you're curious, then just read up on common law marriage rules, they vary by state)

granted, some places can choose to not perform the wedding for a happycouple for various reasons such as not having a state approved marriage license. but that doesnt stop the happycouple from finding a place that will choose to do a wedding for them as a private ceremony and celebration.

That being said, the gays have had the ability to hold private weddings in the US for afew decades now (without being lynched in half of the 50states), but what they only recently have been gaining is equal treatment under the law.

personally i like the idea of a committed couple having a wedding and being together without any legal marriage contracts involved (especially when there's no children yet), because then if they stay together, its because they both want to stay together and not because either of them feels trapped due to a legally binding contract holding them back from marrying someone else.

as for the idea that marriage always means more US income tax refund:
i feel bad for any couple who feel an extra 500 bucks per year is a big factor in deciding to get married. same for the military marriage bonus pay (which usually the wife ends up holding most of that bonus pay anyway, ask any married soldier)

the whole idea of the married tax benefits in the US is really very situational.
one example: if there's kids involved then a couple who both earn decent money can actually both get alot more in income tax credits if they were legally considered to be not-married. for those curious: google "marriage income tax penalty" (yes its a real thing) and the "taxpolicycenter dot orc" website has a pretty good explanation of this penalty.

and no i am not a lawyer yet, i just do alot of related work for some and what i've learned has shaped my views into what they are today.

The problem is people getting married for the wrong reasons. Someone get's knocked up, they feel obligated to get married. Some people rush into things without really thinking about it. Friend of mine knew this girl for about 6 months and got married. Lasted 2 years, she cheated on him.

Live with the person for at least a year. Really get to know each other. If things don't work, there's no bull divorce papers and losing half your things. Or take Bill Murray's advice, travel together. If you don't want to kill each other by the end of the trip then get married.

Marriage is supposed to be a commitment of love, not something you do because you feel obligated. People need to ask themselves why they're getting married more often.

Bill Murray got ****** over in his divorce, and was publicly disgraced and called all manner of things. Got called a wife beater, drug addict, cheater, etc. A terrible monster. The media attacked him and assumed that his wife wasn't lying as women often do. Feminists rushed to take the wife's side, as usual, and this REALLY isn't the only time that wives have screwed over celebrities. This is what we mean when we talk about risk, as a man you bear all of it. If a woman decides to accuse you of anything, or screw you over, the media, the courts, and society will take HER side, and she will take all of YOUR stuff. Whether or not you even did anything wrong. Prenups are always a must, even though many women have done everything they can to attack prenups in divorce cases.

A lot of young men are naive and optimistic they think "nah my girl isn't like that" or "it will never happen to me" but in reality you're setting yourself up to get burned. Just don't let it happen to you. More than one man has had his life ruined that way.

The harsh reality is that nobody gives a **** about men.
Everyone will defend women but nobody is going to defend men.
Not feminists and not white knights. In fact they will attack you.

The cards are stacked against you.
50% survival rate for marriage says everything.
Except when a man gets divorced, he loses everything he worked his life to build,
when a woman gets divorced, she loses a man but gets to keep all of his stuff.

The lesson is clear, here:
Don't let it happen to you.

My plans were going to be like this.

I will love a girl, move in with her, and take our relationship to the point we're practically married, but I won't marry her for years, several years, probably more. Not until I'm sure. Because why get married? I can get all the relationship benefits of getting married just by not getting married. It seems like when people get married they instantly get tired of each other. I'ts possible she'll get tired of me before we even marry, so that's all the more reason I don't want to get stuck in a bad divorce.

Girl, I don't need to marry you to love you.

I won't disagree that Marriage has been uneven and has brought more long term pain than benefit for a while.

But that just proves to me that we need to rethink marriage a little as a culture. We need to understand that this is a lifelong decision you're committing to, you should be absolutely positive. You can either have one amazing marriage like you should, or have your first marriage ruin your perception of life.

We need marriage to be an incredible bond with your lover again, not a set of chains hooked to dynamite, with a divorce lawyer holding the bolt cutters.

Ah yes, a perfectly logical and reasonable argument attack my points instead of directly attacking me. Hm, I wonder if there's a phrase for that? Furthermore you've just proved my point. If a guy doesn't want to get married and tries to warn his bros about all the risk, something must be wrong with him, and like the classic whiteknight, you go out and attack them. Society will shame any men who doesn't give in to the feminist doctrine.

I'm not shouting some crazy ideology or telling men to destroy women, I'm just advising against getting married, because I'm stating facts. You bear all the risk, if things go bad (50% chance that it will) (70% chance that SHE will initiate it) YOU are the one who gets ****** over. That's just how it is. And society, the law, whiteknights *cough* you *cough* will attack you while supporting the female even if she did terrible things. That's just how it is.

the modern man can only rely on himself,
and he can do so by being smart and avoiding risk,
get a prenup, don't put up with ******** , and don't let yourself get ****** over

That is all.

The keyword being attitudes and behavior.

Also the word anti-social can be more literal in this regard, it can also not be present at all. And simply be the attitudes and lack of human empathy or desire for social interaction. Doesn't necessarily mean they detest it. I have known a couple sociopaths that weren't opposed to the concept of friendship, just not nearly as interested (or desperate rather) than the average person.

Well that's entirely subjective, and debatable depending on how you perceive friendships.

Not that you'd even know what a friendship is like. Considering your judgmental and salty ass attitude will probably make most people tired of you quite quickly.

Nah, people like me. I'm charming in real life, I just don't give a **** about random people on a website.

Not really salty towards him, just have a distaste for sociopaths/psychopaths

I don't like feeling feelings because I go too deep into them and lose control of myself... either I just have issues, or you've enlightened me on the fact that I'm a sociopath....

Sociopaths never care that they're sociopaths.

Let me enlighten you further. A sociopath is a person that does not care about any other person at all. That doesn't mean they hate people, doesn't mean they like people, they're completely indifferent to what happens to anyone besides themselves. This leads to a lack of human empathy, sympathy, or healthy concern of the welfare of others. More cruel sociopaths can be known for narcissism and manipulating people around them, or "using" them.

Don't worry bro, if there are just a few people you care about, you're most likely not a sociopath. And people that are sociopaths, don't have a desire to not be a sociopath most of the time. I feel more comfortable when I refuse to ultimately trust anyone, doesn't mean I would throw them to the wolves, because I'm not a sociopath, it's just one of my survival mechanisms.

I don't have a whole lot to say on you being "cautious of feelings". Don't know a whole lot about that. But you could look into meditating.

It's always the mans fault, you go around making this baseless assumptions when I'm trying to warn people. Every think that part of it comes from experience? My ex gf, a childhood friend I loved more than anything, loved unconditionally and would do anything for just ended up cucking me, turning into a slut, becoming a feminist, SJW, man hater, spent her fathers money studying useless **** like womens studies, and has become pretty much everything wrong with the modern woman and feminism incarnate. She goes through so much dick she caught an STD and I wager it's only a matter of time before she ends up with pregnant or whatever else.

Can you ******* imagine if I had ended up marrying this bitch?
There's is this crazy notion ya'll got to understand; women are people.

And people be ****** up, except women get to take all your stuff.

Video games are freaking awesome. Its an alternate reality you have control over, it's not for losers. Its a really neat creative outlet don't let assholes dictate how you spend or enjoy your time. It's not worth it.

I used to think like that, I had a couple of friends who told me I was a loser for how much I played games, and told me I should be trying to be more successful at life and try and get a high paying job, it made me depressed, made me think I wasted a lot of my life.
then those friends moved away to denver left there friends and family behind for money, and then I realized that it sure having a job that makes a lot of money is nice, but when success means having to sacrifice spending time with the people you care about, or sacrifice the things in life that makes you happy, then I think I would rather be unsuccessful and happy rather then Successful and unhappy.

Moral of the story is, do what makes you happy, and in turn you will be happy.

Dont be a people pleaser. Do you what you want, without thinking too much about what other people say. If you take what people say seriously, you will never do anything because there will be a least one person on that planet that'll think youre a loser because of it.

Remember, too much of any thing can be bad for you. If you personally think that they are bad for you, then self-discipline yourself to take things in moderation because YOU want to better yourself for YOURSELF.

I think for some people, video games are an escape into a world where you have meaning and power and make yourself something great because in real life, things are just **** and its just easier to mentally block that reality and the **** going on, and embrace a different one.

Video games do indeed offer an easier and better world. Just yesterday with the new GTA update I thought. : so 4 bucks give you a Bugatti , 32 Bucks a Yacht ... and then you just drive around in a world where you can do whatever you want. What does the real world offer ? Nothing! you have to work to get anything.

people preach about how the world has so much to offer and so many beautiful things to learn and see, but those (few) peopel are the ones with the money and ability to do it all. to get money you need a job. to get a job you need a car and a place to live. those cost a ton of money just to have, so you arent actually MAKING much money at all. solution? geta better job? well for that you need experience and education. That takes a **** TON more money, so now you have student loans and you MIGHT get a job in your field. Then you have to spend money on living, working, and student loans. You are going to spend years of your life trying to make enough money to live and if you have a child anywhere in there, you are going to have A LOT less. So now where do you find the time, money, and opportunity to explore this "wonderful world" those people preach about? You have bills to pay, a job to be at that you can't jsut leave for vacation at will, you have a family to look after...

im saying this and im going to a community college for nursing school. It isn't too expensive, i'll ahve minimal loans beacuse I have people helping me pay for it, I only have to work part time, and I WILL be able to find a job in my field. I also plan on not having kids until my late 20s and im 22. My life is laid out before to be so good, but I understand what other people have to go through. I see my friends and family go through it. Even though it may not be my fate to be held down by life, I know that I got lucky. I know that I have opportunity others didn't get. The world isn't fair, and I feel there are changes that could be made to give more people opportunity like me.

Escapism is mental diversion by means of entertainment or recreation, as an "escape" or dissociation from the perceived unpleasant, boring, arduous, scary, or banal aspects of daily life.

**postwhatevs rolled image** This guy is right. I've spend time with women, was enjoyable but not that exciting and worth it if you look at the overall picture imo. I went to parties etc with my friends every weekend because I thought that was 'being normal' and I had fun there, but still never as much fun as spending time on my computer and the internet. So now I'm back to the good life with my pc and I'm much happier in life than before. (of course I still hang out with my friends and go out to clubs from time to time). I still haven't found any use for a women in my life though.

**dachief rolled image** It's true though. I have trust issues that prevent me from forming strong relationships(at least that's my excuse) But I've never really felt the need to have a bf/gf/partner in my life. I realized that without a 'partner', I have more time for the things I enjoy and can be happy that way too.
