So I finally found places like thedonald and parler and other .win sites where I still don’t have friends but I feel slightly more included, I get upvotes, I don’t get hated on like I have all my life just because I have a differing opinion on life and society to others on social media.
That’s all I seem to do wrong is have a “bad opinion” and that gets me hated. I feel so alone right now and I’m guessing so do millions of others and now I’m seeing the last few places I felt accepted being removed.
Am I a bad person? I’ve not hurt anyone, I may have said/wrote things people don’t agree with but I never attack someone, I never try to cancel someone, I love discussion and going back and forth with others to find out the differences in opinion we all have in this wonderful diverse world. I love people, race and religion doesn’t even cross my mind, I don’t want to see harm brought to anyone. I just want somewhere to go where I don’t feel like an outcast anymore.
I’m very lucky I’m not suicidal because this world we are being dragged into is going to kill so many others like myself, I feel so sad and worried of what is coming. I just wish these big tech companies could show a little compassion towards those like me who just want to fit in, want to find friends, want to feel accepted.
We have all learned that this world is a very diverse place and we have all learned to accept that’s how it is but now those exact same things we have learned are being used to attack a single group of people. People like myself. This goes against “accepting others” and “hate crimes” because I feel so hated and unaccepted right now that I’m scared to even talk and now I’m even being gagged from talking.
A wise man once told me “opinions are like arseholes, we’ve all got one”. Is their arsehole worth more than mine?
tldr; I’m depressed and lonely and big tech are adding to that loneliness and I thank sites like this for helping me feel not so lonely in a very desperate time.
Growing up i was a bookworm weirdo. My jokes were never funny. My friends were the other geeks/nerds
As an adult...although we are all somewhat social .perhaps due to being aloof when younger...i am "alone" but not lonely
I grew up at the beach..but now live near mountains. Nature, near the beach is also somewhat isolative,quiet, contemplative.. whereas..where i am now, the birds, rabbits, squirrels coyotes...way better company than 99% of the humans...lol
I suppose that longing for acceptance is a "weakness" shared by many...but at the same time...as the saying goes..'any club that would accept me isnt a club that i would want to belong to'. Ironic.
There is a book "a tree grows in brooklyn"...a metaphor for life encased in concrete that has only a crack if dirt..it claws and struggles..reaching towards the sky to find sustaining sunlight. So too are we..
we are given two gifts when born; Life and the will to survive. What you do with it is up to you. "The quality of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts"
As you can see, im also quite bad at motivational speaking.
"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee."
