Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.
Rules:
-
Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.
-
Respect one another.
-
All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.
-
Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.
Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

When those others I'm sorting by "favoritism toward me" are not of a certain minimum caliber, yes. Lowering my standards just to feel accepted by those I don't feel inspired by in any way? Nah. I'm good making my own joy and finding new experiences (and friends). The punters can keep their shitty views & vacuous lives, if it makes them happy. Not my monkey, not my circus.
Nah, even if I wasn't married, I have chickens. They think I'm the bee's knees.
Just let those relationships die? I don't mean if you're not someone's precious one and only to let them go, but if they're giving you the impression that you're a "backup," just stop starting the conversation.
It may not feel good at first, but I think it's a step in valuing yourself and your time. I did that and I lost every high school and college friend because I stopped being the one to ask them to hang out, play games, etc. I stopped watching the invites "miss" me and what have you. I realized I was giving much more thought about people who didn't remember I existed.
Being alone is not the worse thing. Being alone with a room full of "friends" is much worse (imo)
I had this realization a few months ago and got pretty sad about it. But now I realize that I have complete and total freedom to just do whatever I want because no one gives af about me. Lay on the couch all day and binge soap operas? Cozy. Make a mistake? No one sees it. Move to another country? Why not. I don't have to answer to anyone and it's amazing.
