Existential Anxiety

[heterotic]

Yes, I'm feeling it. Somebody please come up with a brief quip to bring meaning and peace to my pathetically purposeless existence. Berlioz's Symphony Fantastique is helping, but it's only a temporary band-aid.

Brighten the fuck up, it's not fun being pissy over things you can't control.

 

[AzureAngel]

Oh wait. You can control your mind and your perceptions.

Nevermind, continue being miserable, your choice.

Don't hit me.

 

[heterotic]

No, no, that helped. Thanks!

 

[AzureAngel]

Hey, no problem. Anything for your breasts.

I told my therapist the same thing. I could spend my time building and creating, but I tear it down instead. She told me it was because I was only repeating what I learned about myself as a child: I did not matter. I was neglected.

You think, I lie? I cried when I told her.

Yet here I am on the General Board of Lit participating in mutual self-fellatio.

Kotori- am I a fool for trying to rebel against the lowest common denominator? Are we only as strong as the weakest link? I got garbage.... I am trying to figure out what to do with it? Spray glade on it? Leave the room? Burn incense?

What does one do with it?

I am a good man. You are too. Not because I agree with you, but because you ask. Or at least whatever you do makes me ask.

That is worth something. To ask. But I am looney. Everyone knows and I don't hide it. Well, not all the time anyway.

Existential Anxiety?

All the time dude... al lthe time. Its a way of life...

"One sticks one's finger into the soil to tell by the smell in what land one is: I stick my finger into existence... it smells of nothing." -- Kirkegaard

So - what's Lit smell like?

<<slaps your face>> Snap out of it!!

I'm not one for great quotes. All I can say that you'll get over it eventually. You really need a pupose? Your purpose is to make others happy. Go on. It will get better.

You can snap yourself out of it, you just have to try. That's not always easy, but it is possible, and I've done it myself enough times to know.

You know what makes me anxious? Thinking about this:
