Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and assume that's fake. It's got this "crafted to be as sad as possible to lonely nerds on 4chan" vibe to it.

The problem is in assuming it is fake is that I can see myself doing it easily. I have driven a half hour with the intent to force myself to try something new, and have ended up just walking by the bars and stuff downtown without going in or anything just too uncertain of my own will to take that simple step.

I'm going to be forcing myself to try to do it a little more often once I have an income again. If I'd done it when I could afford to do it, I would have had an easier time of things.

When I was a freshman in college, I cut a deal with myself.  I wasn't socializing much and my loneliness was really getting to me.  So, because the dining hall provided a large number of unwitting targets who were pretty much tied down to one spot, I declared that I wouldn't eat meals other than breakfast unless I had a dining partner.  This was the most efficient way to get new friends.

. . . I barely ate anything for the next two weeks, but I did make one close friend I've had for the past five years.

I've actually got some great friends. I met them online some eight years ago, we've been talking almost every day ever since. Met most of them in person.

I don't have trouble socializing, I have trouble trying to insert myself into a new social situation unless I am forced into it. This means most of the people I am friendly with are people I have worked with or was in class with.

Yeah, however sad that seems I can't really say it's all that believable. I mean, you can't be that asocial man, at the most basic we crave company of some sort, you could've done so much with that time and ended up a better person for it, let alone met new people and not lied to your father but instead you waste it on sleeping uncomfortably.

Then again, I'm the guy whose mother keeps asking about a girlfriend to which a resounding MEH is heard from me every time. No amount of sarcasm, prodding or anything will ever force me to go and fundamentally change the way I work around females mom, so stop bothering please.

Anyways, more sad stuff. Last week could be considered sad I guess, was feeling rather tired the whole time, despite getting some really good sleep hours for the first time in I don't know how long (went to bed before midnight even!). Just that prevailing mental exhaustion that came out of nowhere and sapped any and all will to be productive. Then I find out that one of my best friends might be having an unplanned child, which is good news in essence I guess, but they're both college kids at 20 years of age and are completely and totally unprepared for something of this magnitude. Then I went out with some friends, drank some truly awful wine which is still churning my stomach, then went and spent some time with people I don't really like, at all, amongst them my other roommate, also found out that another good friend (the one I dreamt I killed the night before) is rather more messed up emotionally than I suspected in regards to his breaking up with his long time girlfriend (4 years iirc) and that the whole situation is extremely messy to the point of being morbidly fascinating to behold and pry apart, something I hate doing because I hate getting involved into other peoples' emotional shitstorms.
And to top the entire week off my parents say they might be coming around on Tuesday, to see me, and to have another talk. Now I've been having enough trouble coping with the realization that my one shot at an art career might have been indefinitely postponed by a harsh slap in the face that neatly cut down any and all confidence I'd built up over the past few months. But having a second round of that? No thank you parents, I can drop into a depression by myself just fine, no need for you to push me even more by droning about the same shit you've droned about for the past six years about having to work and sacrifice everything for a stable income and how other people have it bad and how I'll have no future of any sort if I try and do what I love and all that shit that never actually worked in motivating me. But again, you won't listen and I'll just get irritated and you'll once again wonder why I don't like talking to you anymore. Then you'll probably leave dissappointed and I'll be stuck with another round of "feeling like a dirty parasite" on my hands.

Well that is surefire motivation...to commit suicide. That's just the complete opposite of any way to make anyone feel motivated ever.

As for sads, I've been moody all day. I've been under pressure, but at the same time I spent most of the day napping or sleepily grumpy about how I'm spending all the day napping. Then I would lie in bed telling myself I'd just lay there until I felt more awake...and then promptly fall asleep.

Finally finished the stupid school assignment though, but now it's 10 pm on a Sunday and I've hardly done any of the things I was planning on doing except working on futile busy work for school or sleeping. Feels like another weekend wasted.

I dunno if all this lethargy is because of a light state of depression or just me procrastinating, but it's bumming me out.

Basically, at this point, it's been WEEKS since I've hung out with... Anyone. All I do is go to AA meetings, which I pretty well hate, go to work which is okay I guess, sit at home playing SS13, or go to drug court crap, which I hate. They keep wanting to throw me in prison for being sober but not doing stupid fucking makework, and I'm just done.

I don't want to be on antidepressants, I don't want to be the person they want me to be, I want to be me, but that's not allowed. Well, fuck them, and fuck anyone that says what I choose is wrong, and fuck them all. I want what I want from my fucking life, and it's MY LIFE. I realize shit is illegal, but it's illegal for stupid reasons, and they're too old, stubborn, and foolish to see that. I'm tired of wanting things I can't have and wanting people I can't have and wanting a life I can't have.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.
