...See more + it was a shame how I wanted the product to be green and A4 and normal material at the same time but that was not an option, just green A3's, or white A4's but like some weird ugly material, or like A4's good enough material but *** orange. meanwhile calling myself the S-word for caring so much about the way something is to the senses meanwhile thinking as I paid for fake super noodles and vegan protein bar from Lidl (I could have got betterer versions from *** B&M) self-checkout + is willing to wait an eternity = ideal self at its finest self-checkout + cuts the queue = inbetweenie conveyor belt thing + is willing to wait an eternity = inbetweenie conveyor belt thing + cuts the queue = anti self at its finest also noticing "I force myself to be frugal and anti-capitalist buying barely anything yet I see based enough lookinger people spending like *** £90 worth of groceries in one sitting. What a poser. I remember thinking, Lidl is basically a baseder version of Aldi, from experience people that tend to prefer Lidl over Aldi are generally speaking baseder in general than the Aldi people, yet the act of forcing onself to shop at Lidl and not Aldi just because "ew Aldi too ugly gay gross cringe!1!1!! Lidl rules lidls the king!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" is obviously so inherently shallow, yet a genuinely apathetic person (a sign of basedness) would not give a *** where they buy food from" *** this slow af sluggy Indian laptop I am suicidal right no I want my mother to comfort me no more of this evidence I am my anti self *** even worse than the black void itself *** THIS DIGITAL TRAFFIC JAM I JUST WANT THE FAST LANE OF INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY CUZ I FEEL LIKE TRASH RN Pain over the potential of (translated from typese) I'm my younger self basically but appearing more like (or they think that is the case anyway) ideal self because of stress when they otherwise normally inherently intrinsically aren't, like what thingie said. Newcastle makes me think of Rebecca Parks, or late 2000z teenz in the urbz, or this vague Russian one, or like this gardening one. Cringing at your younger self is like any and all negative emotions in general (such as disgust, embarrassment, hate, contempt). It doesn't necessarily have to have some kind of "vibe". I was thinking at one point, thinking of different typologies "plainly" (e.g. numbers and letters) or alternatively associating ones with different vague imaginary people. After all enneagram numbers (it makes me cringe massively when people call it that like "enneagram numbers" to refer to the enneagram or "personality codes" to refer to MBTI/jungian the basedest terms are "enneagram" and "MBTI"). Why can't I just think of the enneagram typologies as the actual numbers and not like the people I associate with the personalities associated with such numbers? "let other people past" "let other people past" "let other people past" Psuedoscience makes me suicidal, how pathetic. "These strangers on the internet don't even know you" / "I'm right because Im a therapist with 20 PhDs!!!1!!!!" "chavs are just mean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" etc etc etc *** the people you're criticising expose the painful truth so painful I'd rather have an unimaginably distressing afterlife if there is one than accept in this plane of existence You probably likely know the ugly truth as well but you never tell me it directly. I can tell by how you swear back at me when you would otherwise never swear. It's a form of infantilisation. I'm so disgusting, so childish, so impulsive, so dramatic, so cowardly. This is just *** on earth. After walking to Tesco express to buy a can of red bull and cigarettes (because the co op where I live doesn't happen to sell sugar free red bull medium size which is such a shame, it's more expensiver and also uglier than Tesco and has such little variety) I ended up having to wait an extra 30 minutes for the bus, it was ***, the self-loathing was unbearable and the overstimulation didn't help (I put myself into such a situation it's all my fault I ended up in such a painful overcrowded public environment I'm such an impulsive ***), nor did the fact that when I got onto the bus when it finally arrived I overheard this guy my age ish say "[insert bus number] is going in the same direction as [insert the exact same bus number]", it goes to show that kids and teenagers and young adults these days say the weirdest things, I'm such an outlier, I'm a dinosaur, so uncool, microdosing off weed (smoked in joints) and 2nd plat DXM that's a tiny fraction of their druggy trips their dab pens and K holes respectively (however I reckon my repertroire is a tad more "out there" than that of the majority of adults well vaguely anyway, the boring ugly s*ns*r adults limited to alcohol vapes/rollies/tabs junk food coffee and/or antidepressants) and even if they don't do drugs at all they still say weird *** like that. I felt the worst stab of envy ever, I overhear kids my age say weird *** like that all of the time "I don't know if your T-shirt is white it could be white" "the bus stop is waiting for us" makes me realise how grouned corporal sensual s*ns*r I am in comparison. Not to mention how when I was eventually on the bus, continuiing to ✍🩸 and eventually breaking out into tears and writing on the walls because the turmoil was just unbearable, I overheard a stranger telling me to "calm down", which hurt even more. Basically my ideal self is incarnate in an increasingly larger number of people. As a trans-typal person I am so heartbroken by a truth so painful to accept than the black void itself. fat lazy ugly hysterical sensual impulsive childish greedy dramatic bright and colourful I thought I was [inbetweener typology] but then someone with [inbetweener typology] says or does something that is extremely [ideal self typology] therefore I am extremely [anti self typology] in comparison. Here we go again No-one cares Calm down Are you serious? For real the sound of crying hysterically (not crying "normally" but I mean crying hysterically) is just so ugly. and then once im as reassured as anything I start cringing at this entire document like theres no tomorrow
