Oh no, a loser is going to be a loser.

Like I said, nobody cares. I can't willpower my way out of being too dumb for a degree, or get my DUI removed. So why bother even crawling out of bed in the morning?

We all make mistakes. We all fall. But that is what makes us human, and there's nothing wrong with that; but to give up is to never have lived at all.

Going into debt for an unattainable goal is not something to take pride in. Driving drunk is not a "mistake" you should be able to make up for. Who cares if I've "lived"? I already wasted my teens, my 20s, half my 30s.

But that was your choice. You now have the choice to dig deep and find the grit to continue moving forward. Things do get better, but it doesn't happen overnight, and we have to work hard for it.

Being miserable doesn't change anything. Yes, you drove drunk and got a DUI, but that's not the end of your world. Yes, you didn't apply yourself in school, and you're in debt, but are you really going to let these mistakes stump you? Or are you going to find the strength to pick yourself back up?

I'm 20 years old, and I'm not trying to pretend I have all the answers; I certainly don't, but I do know that life is what we make of it, and if we are strong enough to overcome our challenges, we are rewarded through the progress we witness.

I hope everything turns around for you, but again, you must work for it.

Oh, lol. That explains why you're still hopeful. That'll fade.

I'm not in debt because I knew I was too stupid for a degree. That's the point. It'd be extra stupid to try for it and put myself in debt.

One should not be allowed to come back from a DUI. It's a moral failing of the highest order.

So no, I don't deserve to have things get better, even if I were capable of it.

My hope will never fade. Just because you can't change your life around doesn't mean you have to put others down.

I am clearly mentally stronger than you, and that's not an insult; it's just a fact.

Be miserable; that's your choice, and it's a choice you'll have to live with until your time in this world is over.

I look for the joy in everything, in pain and in suffering.

Yeah, I thought that too kid. I thought that too.

I've wanted to pop one off in my head for over a decade now and I'm still here, so I'll lay bets I'm stronger than you mentally. You have to pretend things will get better to cope. I know they won't and keep slogging anyways.

Here's lookin' at you kid.

You're not mentally strong if you've considered suicide. You're hurt, and there's help.

I'm not pretending or coping. Again, you fucked up your life, and you feel the need to spread negativity to others because you lack the strength to pick yourself up, but that's okay; there are plenty of people like you in this world, so you're not actually alone.

Your miserable attitude will make you miss out on a lot, like healthy relationships, good jobs, and a life worth living.

I don't mean this disrespectfully, but your life is not worth living; but it could be.

u/SquirrelNormal 1d ago

Lol. If I wasn't mentally strong I'd have already pulled the trigger.

Oh, fuck off with your self-righteousness.

Your miserable attitude will make you miss out on a lot, like healthy relationships, good jobs, and a life worth living.

Already missed out on all that. We're well past the cutoff.

Yeah, it's not worth living. We addressed this before. Eventually I'll get around to taking care of that permanently.

u/Traditional-Bread678 1d ago

Again, you're being miserable and disrespectful because you feel attacked, but I'm not attacking you. Just because you haven't pulled the trigger doesn't mean you're strong; it just means you haven't pulled the trigger.

I'm not trying to be self-righteous, but I will take that as a compliment.

Again, I truly do wish the best for you, but again, you have to work for it.

Bitching and moaning isn't helping your life, but one day you'll regret not being strong enough to change, and when that happens, it might be too late.

u/SquirrelNormal 1d ago

No, I'm treating you just like any other pissant child that thinks they know everything.

You wish "better" because you desperately need to be right.

No, I will not regret not changing, because I don't deserve better. People who drive drunk don't deserve to live, let alone live well. Besides that, it is already far too late to change.

I'm not a child; I'm actually legally an adult, and I've already said I don't know everything lol.

You're insulting me because you got called out for complaining about your life when it's in your power to change it.

And I don't desperately need to be right; I've already said you can choose to be miserable. I'm simply trying to change your negative outlook, but I'm sorry I hurt your feelings.

Keep being miserable. Don't change your life. Good luck with all that, my friend :)

You're a child bud. Most people are up until 24, 25, somewhere in there. The legal definition has nothing to do with it.

It's not in my power. It's not in anyone's power. It's just how life goes. Bad people get a bad life, and vis versa. I'm not a good person, I don't get a good life. No matter how hard I work, I'm still someone who drove drunk. No matter how hard I work, I'm still too stupid for a degree or a good job. Those are simply facts.

Why worry about anyone's feelings? You can't say anything I haven't told myself. You're going to have to try a lot harder if you want to actually hurt me.
