I’ve known 2 conspiracy theorists IRL. Sad thing with both is that it was clinical paranoia.

OK so it seems depression wolf and anxiety wolf are pulling each other in different directions… it’s causing a lot of confusion but isn’t a successful strategy…

Yes, everyone really does. Quick easy thing to do is contact your local representative, which you can do in minutes from your sofa.

Yep, words are the easy thing it’s the behavior that matters. “Yes I’m stopping drinking” etc

Yep it’s been slowly declining for years. There’s no coming back from what a shithole it now is

Nobody. Total shock. Last person I thought would do this.

This is a ridiculous thing to say and you should take it back. They do matter, they just don’t apply or matter to him.

He really is a psychopath, he shows the warning signs. He can’t have a proper sense of humour when he doesn’t have normal emotions

No they were really, really cheap ones.

That’s great feedback 😀

I had a glass shower door to the shower over the bath instead of a curtain. One day I knocked it very slightly on the edge with a bottle of foundation which was only around 3 inches tall.

I once bought cheap headphones from amazon without reading reviews. They literally fell apart in my hands as I took them out the packet.

I hear you. Counselling can really help, it helps you take control of your own life and reduce the amount of problems you have.

Workplace ones are awful, there’s loads of research showing bullies often go into management. Best way I’ve found to manage it is not to tell anyone I work with anything about me so they have nothing to use against me.

Have you got much support in your life? If you’re missing a dad’s support you can find it at !dadforaminute@lemmy.world it’s great and supportive dad posters.

Oh god that’s impactive

I really feel for you mate. Vulnerable people get targeted constantly and it’s horrible… they can get in a cycle of never being able to not be vulnerable because they never get a chance to fully recover. The funny thing is that vulnerable people see people’s true self around them.

The main thing is working on self esteem, having good boundaries comes when people have the self esteem to do them. Have you worked on the causes of your self esteem issues? Counselling can really help
