But... why? I'd be surprised if anyone here is actually apathetic, a la "Urist doesn't really care about anything anymore"... more along the lines of "X happened, which is kinda bad, but I'm not going to start crying about it and become crippled with depression for the next few days, because that won't help anyone."

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

I find apathy is the most despicable human lack of emotion to exist.
Ah, a familiar viewpoint. I too find it most despicable.
Which means that I often despise myself, due to how often I tend to be, well, apathetic towards things.

My daily sadness revolves around everyone hating on my avatar.

Don't be sad. Be glad! At least your avatar isn't a pink puffball that probably makes you seems a bit manchildish.

Objective... what, actually, do you want? I mean, what observable actions could people take that would convince you that they care?

EDIT: Also, what's your standard for "caring"?

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

That's pretty much it. Happiness is just a construct. The world is just a construct. There is nothing that's not just a construct. It sucks if you think about it, but it usually fades when you stop thinking about it.

On the plus side, what's trash and what isn't is totally subjective. Sometimes you get roses and sometimes you have to grow them from the steaming piles you're served, but you usually can get something good out of it.

Yeah, life sucks sometimes. I know that... pretty well. Life can also have moments of spectacular non-suckitude. I know that pretty well, too. It's usually worth sticking around for the non-sucky parts.

I'm tired enough for my memory to be thundered so if this comes off poorly just tell me.

My house is a construct too but I'm not in a hurry to get rid of it, hehe.

I dunno.... maybe consistency?

There used to be people who were nice to me and I end up growing really attached to them, and when they leave me or just aren't there when I need them the most I find it very hard to trust them afterwards.

I haven't seen the complaints in question but I assume it's mostly anti-Homestuck sentiment.  Maybe not though, IDK.  Your avatars look fine to me.

As long as it's not Yoink's Poop Loop Puppy, your avatar is fine.
