The 'successful people' thing reminds me of Impostor Syndrome. Which - is un-fun. And like any mental fart it's not so easy to just get over. Might as well tell someone who's depressed to cheer up or someone like me to just try harder to pay attention. One can learn to push past it and deal with it but the part that sucks shit about it is that it usually likes to hang around with OTHER mental farts (stress is a biggie).
Not everyone deals with it, but it's not unheard-of, and I have immense sympathy for people who ALSO feel like they're some demon pretending to be decent. Distorted thinking sucks, most people cope with it, and people who get eaten by it or need a little extra help aren't necessarily 'weak'.
People can pretend it's easy for everyone all they like but that just ain't so, and realistic-minded adults know damn well that it's the case.
I am not weak because I hit a wall. In fact I'm fucking stronger than any swaggerin' dork I have met yet XD Fuck, I know the exact buttons to push to destroy them but I have too much class to do it.
tl;dr mental shit's not easy to push past or get over and only the vastly ignorant pretend it is. I know that ain't what that guy's on about but I've had way too many 'oh just push past it' lectures form well-meaning privileged little laydeeeez and gents who grew up always having a place to hide.
Seriously. Grow up and realize that you are not the default.
OKAY NOW THAT THAT'S OVER WITH the gaming satire rocks every sock in my drawer. XD And the tat thing - god, any woman who doesn't fit some narrowminded dong's definition of femininity is always a homewrecker. It'd be lolarity manifest if it wasn't sad.
The IRL chatroom perv thng is...urgh That's depressingly common and no we don't 'ask for it' when shit happens. People who claim that are asking for me to shred their ego and feed it to Daimaou Chestra or something.
