I will now step into the light side... and this time, for good.

What do you mean by this? What exactly will change?


Anyways, I didn't mind you at all. I felt comfortable talking to you sometimes. I only really got annoyed once, but that's it.
I'm sure the others don't agree, though...

It means I will stop being so rude to other people while also finding new meaning in life.

It was cool talking to you. Hopefully you'll be able to get past your own problems soon.

The upvotes are so fuzzied that the percentage is completely arbitrary at this point. you can get 86% or 42% and every percentage inbetwwen. Even the number of people that voted is fuzzied into oblivion.

Generally speaking it should give you a range by which you can estimate the true value though. If it's from 42% to 86%, then the true percentage is probably somewhere around 66%.

You'll notice that sometimes the percentage is completely unrelated tothe votecount it shows, so I honestly don't know. I've seen posts with 4 points in reality only go up to 6 points but down to 0, posts with 100% upvotes never showing it, and so on, so I dunno.

Swibblestein 1 point on 2017-04-30 04:05:09

Question: How did you know that the post had four points in reality and not, say, three?

It was an experiment I did on my main, I did it in a private subreddit that I use when working on CSS. I made sure to clear my cookies between each account login(that's their first line of defense against voting for oneself for some reason). I think the fuzzing isn't as bad when you have like 10,000 upvotes, but I don't know for certain.

Your apology to us is noted, though not really nessicary. You can change if you want, or not. It's what you do, and feel in real life that matters most. You'll pardon me if I remain a bit skeptical though. I've not just seen it before, but know the disease of depression enough first hand to know it's difficulties. I hope, for your sake, that you can follow through.

It's a constant battle, and you never know what life throws at you. However, unless you're legitimately suicidal, then what choice do you have but to continue trying to live?

OS2Oslov Deer Zoo (non-active) 1 point on 2017-05-03 08:27:31

I came to that conclusion long ago: I wasn't suicidal, so I may as well do something in the meantime since I wasn't going to kill myself.

It led to something great in the end. I know, some of you may look at me and say/scream "What? What about your life is great?"

Plenty, actually. It's all in how you look at it.

That's all the advice I got. I won't pretend it's easy, but best of luck.

Some of us have to suffer greatly before anything changes. What matters is whether or not it's worth the struggle. And you must also accept that peace may never come at all.

I really don´t understand why making this thread was necessary. You don´t owe ME an apology ´cause you predominantly fucked YOUR life, not mine.

But besides from that, now I´m curious what caused your recent attitude change. Only because you´ve met a stray dog, things are entirely different now? As the zetetic (skeptic: doubts everything except himself; zetetic: doubts everything including himself) I am, there are some questions lurking in my mind right now, but as a sign of goodwill and a hand offered to you, I´ll not gonna put the pressure on you right now. I´m glad you apparently got out of your mud pit of * Weltschmerz *. Let me just point out one elemental truth of life to you: Peace of mind is only granted to those who have given up searching for it. It´s the same as ZEN; the more you´re trying to obtain samhadi/satori, the further away from it you truly are. I strongly recommend studying the buddhist concept of maya and the practice of zen meditation.

I don't recall ever fucking up my own life. It was like this from day one.

A zoophile finds new hope in his existence through a stray dog? This is truly a conundrum. Don't think about it too hard, though. Animals couldn't possibly have any effect on a person's mental state. I mean, come on. Who cares about a dog?

Peace of mind is only granted to those who have given up searching for it.

I have my own doubts about that.

Stay vigilant, friend, and so too shall we. A journey of self improvement is among the noblest undertakings. Few begin it, fewer yet complete it, but I saw a tenacity within you that persisted in your depression, twisted as it was in the beginning. A tenacity that I think will serve you greatly during this time.

This is a new dawn for you, no doubt, one that cannot be overstated. It will feel like the only way to stay in the light is to keep running toward the sun, but there will come a time when that illumination will follow you even when you trek into the night.

Really, it's the small things in life that you have to hold onto. When everything else falls apart, you have to start back at the beginning anyway. I still think about how I felt with that stray dog. How something so simple as casual interaction could bring that much joy to me. It was as if my entire world had been illuminated with her presence, even if for a while. Now I know that I was meant to see that dog, and she told me that it would all be okay, in her own sort of way.

Yeah, the devil is in the details, as they say. Little things can ruin an otherwise good life, and can save an otherwise bad one. It's amazing how much effect your perspective has on your life.

Now if only I could spend time with strays more often.

Good luck dude, I'm in a bad place with my own depression lately and it's a struggle to try to stay positive, or sometimes even want to stay alive in the face of overwhelming negativity that life keeps dishing out, but the little positive things that do happen remind me that it's worth it.

I commend you for moving towards thoughts and actions that are more helpful for your own growth. It's not an easy road, but other than suicide or losing hope, the road is always open.

I've struggled with depression, anxiety, self hatred, bipolar, suicide, and addiction, and still do to this day. All I can do is search for the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change myself, and wisdom to learn to know the difference.

3 years of therapy learning tools to deal with each day, medications that help my brain to better utilize those tools, and a loving support network have helped me believe that I am worth happiness, and that it's obtainable.

I cannot grow alone. I must be willing to accept help. I'm worth that.

You are worth this and so much more. Take it one day, one hour, or even one minute at a time, doing the next best thing, and accepting that being flawed and making mistakes is part of being human. That makes us a legion ❤️

This is the internet, the greatest MMORPG ever written, you can be anything you want to be.

Darkspirit5 2 points on 2017-05-01 15:52:21

While most of the internet isn't to be taken seriously, a small part of how you act online does have a connection to who you are as a person. So it's best to recognize this behavior and take steps to correct it.
