Lost a friend due to me being an idiotic absolute douchecanoe again.

So go admit that you were wrong and misjudged the situation, and get forgiveness. Don't just mope about it, the situation is fixable.

I apologized but I don't think that'll help

It's all in how you apologize. "Look man, she told me she was 18, excuse me for not carding her," is a lot less effective than, "Sir, your daughter initiated contact which I now realize I should have rejected (despite her repeated assurances,) and I understand that said contact was wrong. You're upset, and I understand that, and I would be as well, were I in your shoes. To correct the matter, I will henceforth be more prudent about social interactions, and can only hope that you will one day forgive me."

Empathize, apologize, legitimize.

[Descan]

Or sleep with the father too.

[Orange Wizard]

Or just go the whole hog and turn the entire family into your harem.

Twitch mutes vods with copyrighted music now.

Sadly, it doesn't affect live-streaming, meaning some streamers might just ignore it and make their vods somewhat useless :x

I just feel like so much shit right now. I just want to curl up and die.

I had gotten sick the last couple days, so I called up my therapist and left a message saying I wouldn't be attending, and we'd reschedule. He called back to reschedule, but also to remind me that there were some social security papers with some bizarre purpose that I don't know what they're about and it's up to him to send them out, but he doesn't know what they'll do, and he set it to me to find out, but I just COMPLETELY FORGOT.  So fuck me there.

But in the conversation he brings up how over the months I've been there I've made very little progress, I've failed to complete assignments, I've failed to forward my own goals, and that after all this time we're still just assessing, still just getting started, after months and months... and those words are just the goddamn story of my life, I'm just a fucking failure, I just can't help myself even when I'm paying good hard money for therapy.

Just another fucking failure. I should just give up and die. I just want to curl up and just phase out of existence.

Why is it so important that you're failing? I mean, the pain you're experiencing is obviously important and getting past it is a major goal, but that's a different thing. Why's the blame such a focus?

Ya ain't a fucking failure and ya don't not have a chance of improvement. Emphasis on the double negative to my message here.
There;s a weird thing I recall from someone who talked about those who wanted to give up--they said that those people care, even more, than those who don't, because of the underlying thoughts about giving up.
T'was a paradox(?--unsure if the right word here but it feels right) but it made sense in a way.

Anyway, there is little progress and there is progress. Both are progress. You won't ever not make progress if you're invested in it. You learn tiny bits and pieces, but that's progress--compared to what? Does it need to be compared to have meaning? A race, if it must?
There's progress and that's what matters. Usually these things are in the thoughts beneath why things happen as a subtle cue, but you must go and reinforce yourself. It's ok that 'failure' happens.

You're still alive to do something about it.

Going to get another grilling from my extended family for failing to live up to expectations.

[Orange Wizard]

Putting up with family is the primary reason why I no longer have birthdays.

[SalmonGod]

Wife was watching Orange is the New Black, and I caught like half an episode.  I regret it.

(also feeling like shit and unable to sleep, which is why I'm posting right now)

[Yoink]

@SalmonGod: Because it's sad, or because it's bad?

Putting up with family is the primary reason why I no longer have birthdays.

...Your family caused you to enter a time loop?

My cat has inexplicably become tubby. I can still remember when he was in fighting trim!
