  • So real. Same with drugs.

  • yes

  • Im really sorry that happened to you, that's awful. Its also what I'm terrified of, calling help for them and that causing them to not tell me the next time. So far I haven't had to do that but I have had to convince them to call help themselves which worked. Then they started blaming me for being alive (in a good way) though its still overwhelming to hear that. They talk so much about self harm and their suicidal intentions to the point where its traumatic and I honestly dont know how much more I can take before I do something stupid and let them down. The other friend is just distant and its terrifying when they don't answer any messages. You're right though, there's nothing I can do about it except tell them how much they mean to me and listen to them when they need to talk.

  • Last time i tried to talk to them about how id been feeling they completely started blaming themselves for it. I didnt tell them much, just that having to constantly hear about their self harm habits is overwhelming and I often don't know how to respond to things. I do tell them I would miss them and that I enjoy spending time with them. But its so overwhelming because every single message I send to anyone I always overanalyze it to make sure it won't affect them negatively. I have frequent nightmares where my friends die of any circumstance and its always my fault. So I'm terrified of accidentally tipping them over the edge.

  • For me, a perfect life would be a job, any job, that keeps me afloat, a house to live in, even if its just a small apartment, and a few good friends.

  • I taught myself to not feel my feelings. I feel great now. Being depressed is better than being overly emotional and unstable.

  • I can't really give the best advice. A while ago I went through some things and decided to avoid all my friends. I remember, decpite my decision, I really would've loved if one of my close friends reached out. Idk about your friend though, everyone is different. If I were you I would definitely reach out. Make them understand that you really care about them.

  • Its nice to know im not the only Linux kid. It felt so weird, most of my friends didn't even know what Android was. It sucks growing up tech savvy when most people call themselves nerds after discovering "air drop".

  • I installed Linux for the first time at 14.

  • Bro!

  • Oh my god thank you. I saw this exact image on another site, except the text said "I found the BIOS flavor." I was like "wtf this person has no idea what BIOS is" and proceeded to explain what it really was.

  • Don’t downgrade to Windows 11, update to Linux

  • Thats because they treat it like a toy, not a tool.

  • I am completely against addictions, including those like algorithmic social media. I am also against people who dont understand tech blaming it instead of blaming the real problem. If we just took a second to understand it we would understand how to use it responsibly.

  • Fucking conservatives in my opinion. Its not a bad way of spending time, its different. It has a different set of advantages and disadvantages. If you're too stupid to understand it, just stay away from it. But don't ruin it for the open minded people who are open to new ideas.

  • Kids will grow up around the idea that there is no freedom and their superiors (e.i. the corrupt companies) have to decide their rights.

  • That is so true for me. I am so paranoid in public because even running into my closest friends seems like it will end badly.

  • Fuck AI @lemmy.world

    AI “Friend”??, more like a survailance device you wear.
