I'm all ok with that, the sooner you American nutjobs die out the better the rest of the world will have it. Enjoy the future without young women birthing children. It's going to be amazing. :D

The sooner sentient life dies out the better everyone but a small few will have it, because life is mostly suffering.

Oh my, you and u/NeedMoreCoffee are horrible nihilists, I wonder if you even recognize it. Probably not, but wow, no wonder you guys spiraled out like this.

My brain doesn't have a lot of coping mechanisms. Some people deny reality, others glorify the bad. I have a lot of trouble doing either.

These aren't coping mechanisms. You deny reality, vulptex. You have the power to bring life-affirmation to your life, nobody else.

No, I just see bad everywhere and have option but to wallow in it. Everyone else is able to turn their head and pretend it's not there, or praise and glorify even the most awful things. My brain doesn't allow me to do that as much. I have free will but I cannot control my brain chemistry, it is what it is. I know because it was completely different when I was a kid, and it randomly changed, and I've been trying to change it back to no avail.

Dude, please, just listen to how you create this situation. "have (no?) option but to wallow in it" and, "it is what it is" and, "My brain doesn't allow me..."

It wasn't random, every human goes through this, and most find ways to ignore the bad, and to ignore the change, as you describe. You can't ignore it, great! Seriously, great! Now you can pay attention to exactly how it enters into peoples perspectives, and you can take a concerted stance of action against it. You can control your brain chemistry, by changing your lifestyle and re-aligning to your misaligned thoughts with objective reality, not subjective feelings. Obviously you tend to negative thoughts about yourself, some of which might be true, but they are probably being presented to you in horrid psychologically damaged ways. This is relatively normal from what I can tell, when we are presented with truth, something evil twists it in our minds to serve its purposes. Pay attention to that.

You have years of living under your belt where you accepted every thought that tumbled into your brain as yours. Many of those were not your thoughts, but since you identified with them so heavily, you have found justifiable scientific reasons to suffer under them! This is just like the women who lay around saying: I'll never be tough, I'm just a woman. Or the humans who sit around wallowing: humans are plague, we must be eradicated!

As a child, you could perceive the eucatastrophe that is Life. You no longer perceive it. Life is still a eucatastrophe, nothing about life changed, the way you perceived the world changed. You can physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually alter your perceptions. I would suggest learning how to do this, or else you will forever stay miserable in your wallowing.

Study the word "eucatastrophe" and accept reality for what it is. It does care for "you", just not the "you" you thought you were. You are suppressing the individual within you to join in with the biological traits of your species. I just don't see how this is beneficial.

Most of my problems are things that can't, and I mean CAN'T be changed. I don't think anyone can understand. There's even two of me, there's me and then there's my brain's "me" and we are fundamentally different people. I feel like I'm possessing someone else and can't break free. Not because I'm pretending to be someone else, because I'm not, but because this person's brain and body don't belong to me and doesn't fit me, and because I feel like I don't even belong to the same species. This isn't a matter of who I am anymore, it's what I am. Do I even belong in this universe? Is this some weird dream that I'm going to wake up from? It sure feels like one. But it just keeps going and going. Reality could collapse and I'd like that because it means this external world would stop dictating everything that happens to me and even how I think and perceive. Yet for some reason that would horrify everyone else.

You are suppressing the individual within you to join in with the biological traits of your species. I just don't see how this is beneficial.

I'm not. This piece of flesh and bones I'm in is doing it for me. It's like how you can operate an Apple device but they make most of the decisions and restrictions for you and you can't change them. It was nowhere near as bad before and it randomly kicked in for no reason. Puberty is the only explanation and it makes sense. It's developing me for tasks I have no interest in doing. But it doesn't know that, it only cares about spreading my genes and helping whatever tribe I'm supposed to be part of. To most people that is of utmost importance, which from a biological perspective makes perfect sense. Fuck, do I have any humanness at all in me?

If I have a eucatastrophe it won't be for a very long time. Probably, at least.

Please PM me if you are interested in discussing this more. You can indeed fix your perceptions on this issue, you have proven it many times just in this comment thread alone. You will admit to things that could help you, but turn around and use it to hold yourself back. Seriously, you are very close to being done with whatever you are struggling with, if you will it so.
