Is that a female wojack or a teenage boy one with long hair/acne?
Yes
Real and straight
Damn , Can relate bro
So no disability? Just “ugly” and “low IQ”?
Ugly is no barrier to success. And it’s written too well to be from someone with an IQ so low that it holds them back.
Anon is probably just lazy or more likely scared of the leaving their comfort zone.
Real and pathetic.
I mean it does make some things more difficult, but its more of a speed bump than a barrier. And a lot of the time decently attractive people will convince themselves they’re ugly cause it helps justify their inaction.
To me it kinda sounds like covert narcissism “I’m so awful dumb pathetic and terrible I won’t ever accomplish anything” and uses it as an excuse to be a lazy pos. A lot like boogie2988. Does it to drum up empathy, to enable his lazyness and uselessness.
Predicament is not a word used by someone with low iq. Nor structured sentences.
> on 4chan
> not doing anything absurdly creepy, racist or disgusting
> I’m seriously the most pathetic person on this board.
This person is one of the least pathetic people on that board.
Ugly and low IQSevere DepressionI hope anon gets some help. It’s hard to find your way out of that bleakness once you’re there. I speak from experience, and it IS possible to get better. Self worth takes a lifetime to build if your parents didn’t make the fundament for it in you. It’s still worth working on it.
It’s okay to not be the perfect adult, when you have barely learned what adulthood is. It’s okay to be a late bloomer. It’s okay to be uncertain. It’s okay to do life at your own pace. But don’t let the bleakness win. No matter how shite it gets, it won’t last forever and you will find the way back from that pit. Even if it happens at such a slow and sluggish pace, that you don’t even notice the improvements from day to day.
I wish I could give anon a hug. Been there too, buddy.
mfw i have depression
I feel like there’s only so much blame you can put onto a single person for their situation before you wonder what the hell is going on with their parents/guardians?
Because someone in their mid-20s having no basic life skills cannot be blamed purely on Anon. Either their parents are neglecting them, or coddling them to the point of sabotage.
Having said all that, if Anon is articulate enough to write all of this - then they’ve got a high enough IQ to at the very least try to do something about their situation, even if its just doing volunteer work for a while to build up some basic skills.
Yeah, this reads more like depression and self-sabotage then stupidity.
I don’t get why it is parents responsibility if they are 24 and dont have any disabilities. Isn’t it only parents jobs to take care of you till you are 18.
Being a parent is a life long job that you chose when you had a kid, so that latter take is wild.
But in any case, even if I agreed with you, do you not believe parents have a responsibility to teach their children basic life skills? You brought a kid into the world, you should at the very least teach it how to look after itself.
Honestly your take feels wild to me as well. Sure you should teach your kids how to take care themselves, but at some point they are an adult and have to take the responsibility for their own lives.
If people don’t have to take personal responsibility what stops them from taking advantage of it? Like you could have the best parents, but claim they messed you up, so refuse to work and leech of them for the rest of your life.
Yes, I do agree that you have a level of personal responsibility towards yourself - and that you owe it to yourself to make the best of the hand you’re dealt.
But turning 18 doesn’t suddenly absolve your parents of their failings. If they failed to teach Anon the basic life skills that would help them to be a proper member of society, then that is still their failure - even if it is a failure being further exacerbated by Anon themselves.
As @some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world said, your last paragraph negates itself…
A good parent would’ve forced Anon to learn those skills, and wouldn’t just stand-by going “they’re an adult now, not my problem” - nor would they coddle them and allow them to be a NEET. Both are forms of neglectful parenting, as I said its a lifetime job.
I just wanted to highlight the personal responsibility part. Otherwise I agree completely.
Having “the best parents” would preclude that possibility, though. Your “what-if” is a non-sequitur, it doesn’t follow.
Each person is the result of their genetics, upbringing, friend circle, life experiences etc. Having the best parents doesn’t guarantee you turning out well.
Also nothing personal but using big words like this when you can express it much simpler, comes off very pretentious.
Painful to watch young people fall victim to these ideas that so harm their self-esteem.
The post itself says not as dumb as you think you are.
Right, now they just have to want to change their situation and they will be all right. That’s the harder part, but probably always doable.
Yeah seems like you actually have to suffer to do something just because it can be marginally useful
