Discussion What’s a hard truth for you that you had to swallow?

[Pisceslilith]

For me it's that I'll only really have myself, I figured it out as child but everyone made me out to feel like I'm "crazy" or "dramatic" (gaslighting was common in my childhood).

That we can wishfully think all we want but nature doesn't give a shit what we think or feel.
Also that I had many blessings despite my issues and comprehensively fucked my life up by being a lazy arrogant drunk.

 

[selfhater]

alot, that i will never be normal/fine/loved/pretty..and the list goes on and on

 

[Mistake of Nature]

That we are helpless and powerless to change or control much of our lives.
That I'll never get back the time I've wasted.
That suffering is simply part of the human condition.
That we are all ultimately alone.

The hardest and most shocking truth for me was learning that people are not who they seem.... and that you can live with someone for almost 20 years only to wake up one morning and find out you live with a stranger.

And the even bigger shock was to discover that the said person was in fact real, but that you had refused to see the truth, having blindly believed and prayed to that satanic entity called love.

There is not a trace of arrogance in any of your posts. Quite the opposite.

 

[TCA]

That I'm a fuck up.

 

[Donk]

no matter how hard i try to forget the past, it will still haunt me. my brain doesnt have the capabilities to allow me to feel joy, feel sense of self worth, to feel loved.

 

[Broken Chimera]

That the world is messed up and humans are the main reason why. It's also sad if not scary how unaware the average person is to it.

 

[bpdandme]

That I wallow in self-pity and need negativity to live as I am reliant on it. I am self-indulgent and a cause for a lot of my own problems. The things I hate in others are reflections of things I don't like in myself. I had potential but I have ruined my future.

 

[reapandsow918]

That our world is a depressing slave like system that is pretty much hopeless. We judge others on their accomplishments and not based on the person they are. Also that I will die alone with my own thoughts, emotions and perspectives.

 

[braketimez]

I learn too slowly and inefficiently to make a lot of money.
I know someone who was ready to pay me lots of $$$, but I just couldn't learn the job quickly enough.
The older I get, the longer it takes me to understand, articulate, and create.

 

[BitterlyAlive]

The only person who can save me is myself. But I don't want to save myself.

That I wallow in self-pity and need negativity to live as I am reliant on it. I am self-indulgent and a cause for a lot of my own problems. The things I hate in others are reflections of things I don't like in myself. I had potential but I have ruined my future.

This is super relatable. You're not the only person with these traits.

 

[AcornUnderground]

That physical health can be taken in a moment, life can change from essentially perfect to complete suffering in a flash. And tragedy/suffering does not discriminate. It can happen to anyone, anywhere.

Your story brought a tear to my eye amiga.

I have lost much of my arrogance in some ways and yet still retain it in others. It's a fault I still have and so try very hard not to let it master me.

Wow. I could have written that too, especially the last bit.

Do you want God/Source to have masculine or feminine energy/frequency/vibration?

IT'S BOTH!

Unfortunately true.

It takes a great person to recognize his/her faults and an even greater to try to master them.

 

[Worthless_nobody]

That the majority of life is left up to luck, fate etc and out of our control.

 

[Broken Chimera]

If it's what I think it is, it needs to go burn in hell.

 

[faust]

The truth that this actually happens to me.
I could never understand why my life is tough when others can enjoy it.
Unfairness of this world or just my own trouble?
I was giving working advice to those who I know, but this never worked for me.
And things which never worked for others, worked for me.
Starting from swimming with a fever in a cold water, ending with relationships.
Could not swallow the truth that I am always tired.
I had a good nutrition, a good amount of sleep, everything was okay with health and vitamins, but I was always tired.
And then I just had to accept that I am mentally ill and that I would have to be on medicines until my death.
But my acceptance is lost. I don't want to accept I am destined to lose this battle. I don't accept this life.

The things I hate in others are reflections of things I don't like in myself.

It might just be universal, the good old projection... I just recently realized the greater extent as to how judgemental I can be about others, and that's probably not even the final form.

 

[Shades]

There are some things I will never be able to do. Certain doors of opportunity are forever closed to me; I will never get to experience many of the things healthy people take for granted.

I really had no chance at succeeding in this life. I was always going to end up this way.

 

[BabyYoda]

That I'm ugly
That love is only for the privileged especially romantic relationships
That people aren't truly kind
That I NEED TO BE ATTRACTIVE TO BE LOVED
That suicide is the only way to overcome this

 

[Darkhaven]

Realising that there´s no hope for me to ever have a normal and, relatively, happy life.
It seems that was out of my reach since i came into existence.
I just happened to be incredibly naive/dumb during my younger years to understand that. Always kept faith that things would get better.
Well they never did. They are getting worse everyday that i live.

 

[Notwinnernotawin]

Nobody cares enough. So that means I can't trust anyone.

 

[Blue Starz]

I sympathize with everyone on here. Mine would be that no matter how caring or kind I strive to be, that evil often lurks in the shadows or destroys in its selfish demands, overwhelming my heart and forcing me to retreat to stay safe in this world....

 

[Sensei]

That I'm broken and can never be fully repaired.

 

[Mooshi]

Honestly I'm not sure, but probably that the whole of society/humanity is cruel and people are selfish and fake.

 

[Myforevercharlie]

That i can't control everything.

 

[nitrogen]

That nothing in this world would make it worth living.
That evil always trumps good.
That I resent my loved ones for keeping me alive.
That there's no unconditional love.
That 99% of the time I do what I have to do instead of what I want to do, driven by a sense of duty.
That life is not a gift but a terminal illness.
That I don't want to be helped.

A quote from Joker sums it up pretty well:
