    I’ll never understand that reaction. I completely understand seeing that and wanting to kill yourself, but I never thought the happy couple should die.

    I see those kinds of couples and my only thoughts are usually some form of “lucky lucky. I’m such a worthless piece of shit.” Lol

      Armchair psychology by your local dipshit:

      Depression tends to be irrational, and thus thought processes around it tend to be irrational.

        “if i can’t have it, nobody should have it”

        also applies to everyone who opposes progress because they had it hard in life

      It probably depends on your personality, mainly agreeableness.

      Agreeable people direct their anger and frustration at themselves, while those who are disagreeable direct it at others.

        That makes a lot of sense and I do tend to score high in agreeableness when I’ve taken those silly personality tests

      I’ll never understand that reaction.

      The experience probably felt painful (literally) for Anon so his lizard brain immediately wanted to strike back at what’s causing the pain. Doesn’t make much sense of course so he didn’t actually do it, probably felt bad about it too.

      Now imagine you had more than a good shot, and you where the one who rejected her. How would you feel, looking back and seeing you where an idiot?

        Fucking hell, you have to forgive your past self for being a dumbass. Everyone’s past self was an idiot literally because they didn’t know what present self knows.

        Forgive your past and focus on working your present for what you want for your future self.

        It’s not hippy-dippy bullshit, it’s literally the foundational principle for doing anything in life like getting fitter, starting a business, learning a new skill / subject, improving your dating prospects, etc.

        If you only wallow in your past mistakes and not doing the teeny-tiniest improvements of literally 1% or 0.1%, then you’re not living, you’re just dying slowly. Living is much more fun.
