Always use protection, everyone.

So I started to feel extremely lonely about a month ago. That feeling coincides with falling in love with a person, that is close to me and that person wasn’t interested in entering a relationship with me. That alone is something to chew on But that feeling of lack and loneliness stayed even weeks after I talked openly about my feelings for that person. It’s not just rejection; it’s also that I feel in love for the first time. (I mean violently, past the point of return. I am also a late bloomer.) I desire romantic love now. That is my new need. That article changed my perspective on the matter.

Thank you. My distrust in humanity is restored.

Cab you tell me more about that? I don’t have experience with non monogamous relationships, but I always assumed that it is exhausting. At least when you don’t just sleep with each other but also share your emotions.

There have been a couple of debunking videos about stoicism lately. I think there is a danger in the deterministic nature of some teachers to consolidate conservative thinking. But you can also put a progressive spin on it. There are some stoic teachers who tell you how to look at the world from a mainly objective point of view, but act nonetheless. “Yes, I know the world is tuff, yes I am in pain/hurt/weak, but I will do what has to be done anyway.” It is a sort of call for action that doesn’t depend on motivation.
