Hi, I thought maybe we could talk a little about what we find helpfull and supportive in our lives, how we feel fullfilled and satisfied, and perhaps also a bit about what is unhelpfull, and what we still miss.
For me, what helps is first and foremost staying away from abusive pornography, in order to align my ethics as best as I can with that of society in general and other people in particular.
That enables me to hold my head up high, and feel that I am not doing anything wrong.
Secound, the realization that there are lots of people who are way worse than me - the dark triad (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_triad), for example.
Those guys CANNOT help but hurt others, and me? I have every ability in the world to behave positively, considerately, and constructively.
Third, being around minors.
That gives me the positive interaction that I so much crave, it is almost like exposure-therapy in that it conditions me to handle situations and affections as a matter of course, and it further helps me realize that I am in no way a danger to anyone.
So, my fellow little monsters, what helps you in your life?
Oh and I'm between 35 and 40 years old, unmarried, single, and have few real friends my own age, which I miss.
Sadly, currently there isn't much that makes me feel fullfilled, but I am taking steps to increase my social connections, activities, and opportunities in life.
