Depression is weird,

I said, “Do you realize we have had this conversation before, and my advice was to stop dwelling on it. ?
Well, you are doing it again. I DON’t feel like repeating the same conversation over again... so, either move on from it, or stop talking to me about it.”

It's that southern politeness, People may not know this about southern folk, at least in my area, We are groomed to be as polite as possible if you ever see a southern Kentuckian even slightly miffed, they are ready to wage war, The southern dialect is weird, There are friends and enemies, and nothing in between.

It's a culture thing down here, It would be hard to cut him off without hard bitter feelings.

Oh it was advice hahaha hahaha.

I thought I was going to see words fly.
I know I need too, But it's one of those things I know I'll never be able to do, The closest I could ever come to cutting him off is not talking to him for a while.

I do that though, Seven or eight months at a time, and all these years later he still calls me when he needs to vent , lol

May seem callus but if I had a friend who rang me to unload on me every once in a while I would brand him a bitch and tell him to fuck off.

I agree with Pepe, being nice doesnt do anything... sometimes you hafta tell it like it really is.

Real friends should be brutally honest and accept each other as honest check points. And thank each other for the kick in the pants. Then they can get back to drinking their beer.

You guys are right, I always justify my weaknesses as some moral high ground, " I don't want to do it for a flighty hippy reason" The truth is, It's a weakness I have, and I need to address that.

I have to make my reality what I need it to be or it's not "My" reality, It's other peoples...

Had a long phone conversation with a good friend of 30+ years last night. He doesn't realize it but he goes on in great detail about his health and I would love to just tell him 'lose two hundred pounds for a start' but that would be a friendship ender despite it being the obvious (pardon the phrase) elephant in the room.

We were talking about death. We have worked with a group of people for decades and coworker #3 within the last 2 years dropped dead suddenly before age 60. #4 has cancer and is warming up in the chute. That's depressing.

I know John Doe doesn't give a jack about me and I repay the freedom with there being no fucks presently given.

Is that a positive or a negative thing ?

Ask Jane, that bitch knows everything about everyones' problems.

I have thanked more people for being brutally honest than I have for "making nice. "

Brutal honesty always helps me grow.

This might brighten a day for some.

The other night at work I saw a guy being chased by a mob who where throwing things at him. This fella stopped in his tracks, turned and goaded them to "come on then" and then like spider man shot up the side of a multi storey car park, turned on the ledge and pissed all over them while laughing and then dissappeared into the shadows.

A high school coach once told me I think too small.

34 years later I realized he was right.

This is a depression:

I'm beginning to think there is no way to truly escape depression...

The cure for depression is to learn to kick your own ass.

Getting outside more or taking vitamin D might help too.
