Mental Health

[Gravel PitParticipant]

There are some “high functioning” guys around here who seem to be deteriorating in the mental health department.

Dont really want to name names because whats normal after all? We are all a little squirrely in part, or “full on hoarding nutz for the winter” loony! lolz. Besides, Im making a legit effort on my part to not attack men. You need my brotherhood and attention first, any criticism should carefully phrased with the utmost tact. Its hard sometimes…not to troll the sh!t out of you, and likewise, many of you have tolerated my views and eccentricities.

I dont need to call you out, or dissect each one of you, unearthing your illegitimate and unbridled paranoia & prejudices. They exist.

Perhaps not all my views are fully developed yet, and I will resemble YOU years from now when some of my blind optimism or gullibility wears thin or altogether fails. Ill grant that. But I also know, many things I have RIGHT, right now.

Anyway, some of you guys give yourself away in Extreme Views stated that I have to roll my eyes at.

But Ill say this, On the whole, Im glad for the rich supply of diverse men here. If I cant agree with you, atleast I can laugh and go my own fvcking way. I dont need to fight or remark on the contrasting nature of some of you Yahoos. No one here is roasting me too hard either… so Im grateful.

For all you cold hearted grey beards, I hope youre well tonight. I guess the world has fallen short on you too often and now you shut yourself apart from it. Well, you shut yourself off from the possible good things too fvckers, dont forget that. Will you allow the possibility of happiness? Will you show vulnerability in order to gain exploration, humility and joy?

No man is an Island, but there is an Isle of Man. lol. Some of you should take the ferry to it for a brief vacation.

Happiness is always an inside job.

Other people are almost always more trouble than they are worth.

Society is FUBAR and is heading to hell in a hay basket.

What kind of ‘mental health’ do you hope to gain by putting on your shoulders the endless problems of other people and society?

I’m more than happy to disengage and walk away from it all with a spring in my step and a smile on my face.

To each their own of course.

The greatest tragedy in life is to spend your whole life fishing only to discover that it was not fish you were after. - Henry David Thoreau

Im not calling for anyone to give a girlfriend a chance or to volunteer at the Boyz and Girls Club… no freaking way. But some of yall are coming off as so unapproachable and pessimistic, youre like an animated Disney villain.

All you mean dogs that bark alot are actually BIG SOFTIES. lol. Or maybe not, maybe youd bite someones hand, thats the disturbing part.

Do any of you still follow any mgtow content?

I know what will cheer everyone up, a two month camapaign of 1000s of Cat Pictures to celebrate Gargs 1 Year anniversary of going cat brained!

Whoever you are talking about, none of them give a s~~~ what anyone thinks about their personal choices.

Women want everything, but want responsibility and accountability for nothing.

[SpiderHerderParticipant 3757]

I remember when someone else was giving YOU a hard time for being who you are.

I always took your side, because you sounded like a good guy… now I know you are. lol

You fücker… hahahahahaha just kidding.

Wouldn’t think you were talking about me, although I’ve always felt a little psychotic, even when I was very young. However, when you say, “cold hearted grey beards”, that could very well describe me.

In any case, although I may be a bit reclusive and love staying home alone most of the time, I’m happy as a clam…….happier than I’ve been in a long time. The joy I feel not being married anymore is never ending.

Also, I’m not a complete hermit. At least once a week I come down off my hill and hang out with some acquaintances. Just last night I went out and had a good time at the steakhouse in the lounge. Sometimes I’ll take a ride on my bike over to a local winery and hang out with some good people there that I’ve known for quite a while.

However, just a few hours in the company of other people, even those who are really good people, is enough and then I’m always happy to get home to enjoy myself alone.

So, whether I was one of the men you were referring to or not, as Secret Agent MGTOW said, I don’t give a schit what anyone thinks about me or my choices. I’m living a peaceful and joyful life.

I can’t help but share this. I’ve mentioned several times that while I live too close to town, I still live out in the woods and so I have literally herds of deer going through my yard around my house all the time. A couple nights ago I go out on my back deck to take a pis.s and I look up and just a couple yards away is a baby deer laying in between my air conditioner and my house. He didn’t even see or hear me come out because of the noise of the A/C. I know if I move he’ll see me and run away, but I didn’t want to stand out there all evening with my dick hanging out, so I slowly put it away and back up, but the little guy sees me. He gets up and stands there a while and he’s gone. Just 30 to 40 minutes later I go back out there to take a peek and he’s right back in the same spot, but I was careful so he didn’t see me this time.

I told this little story, because it’s just part of my wonderful life living alone in a place many people would avoid…….but it’s almost paradise to me.

The evil in women’s hearts leaves them no moral bounds as to inhibit them from descending to the lowest levels of darkness to acquire their self entitled desires.

‘A cold hearted greybeard’ but who is ‘still a big softie’

In other words, a decent man who has wised up.

There is nothing wrong if you like solitude and being alone. There are people who neither desire nor seek the company of others and are most comfortable being by themselves.

It’s a ‘Schizoid Personality’ trait. Once considered a ‘disorder’ but that is now debatable…

“Critics argue that the definition of SPD is flawed due to cultural bias and that it does not constitute a mental disorder but simply an avoidant attachment style requiring more distant emotional proximity.[10][11] If that is true, then many of the more problematic reactions these individuals show in social situations may be partly accounted for by the judgments commonly imposed on people with this style”.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizoid_personality_disorder

[SpiderHerderParticipant 3757]

Ahhh yes. The Schizoid Personality “Disorder”.

The thing that started it all for me. I was browsing a site related to this for a while and then a really vocal member mentioned MGTOW and MGTOW.com.

And here I am. Haha.

But yeah, it may appear to be a disorder from the outside world of the extroverts, but it’s just the way some people are.

If I didn’t have to work and/or hit the grocery store a couple of times of week, I’d only see people related to my hobby.

I’m very “Hermitty”. lol

[Gravel PitParticipant]

I dont know where I was going with that. Sometimes I forget, that people rant and rave and say the damnedest weirdest crap online. But its not a very good measure of who they are in real life. Often whats online doesnt equate at all for how they really are. This MEDIUM is exaggerated for effect. People come off as batcrap looney but I bet if you met him under the right light, he’s a cool customer.

I like the story about your Baby Deer encounter. One day, I will reside in the RURAL area and enjoy the peace and quiet, nothing wrong with that at all. This big bad world aint all bad though. Its what you make of it somedays. I try not to let it get the best of me other days.

The ‘DSM’ no longer classifies Schizoid Personality as a disorder. It is often just considered today to be a personality ‘type’. The word ‘disorder’ implies that being Schizoid is a problem for those who are. Which is of course not the case. Schizoids are alone but don’t get lonely. Many people (non-Schizoids) just don’t understand how that can be…

I’m the same way. I go into town only when I absolutely need to (fuel, food, meds, mail, etc). I really don’t enjoy being around other people and I am most comfortable being at home alone.

I might suggest that we form a club of MGTOW Schizoids. The only real drawback would be that there wouldn’t be anybody showing up for our meetings… 🙁

[Gravel PitParticipant]

This thread was not directed at any particular person. It doesnt matter. I was referring to people and their conspiracy theories. Some of the crap people say online, I do not believe, that in the privacy of their own mind, that they really believe the stuff they say. Its probably for effect… Maybe they do… who knows.

I really enjoy watching all the nature around my house. I’ve recently had some hawks hanging around and saw one drinking from my bird bath, which is something I’ve never even heard of before. More recently looked out the window and saw one standing on the railing of my deck. He was looking right at me for a few seconds and then flew off. Never seen anything like this with hawks.

I really wish the deer were less skiddish, like the rabbits. I can go out and yell at the rabbits and they just sit and continue eating grass and clover. Can’t get close enough to pet them, but at least they don’t run off right away.

Down in Austin Texas several years ago, I saw Deer that would come up the car and eat our of your hand. Its a big problem because they all need to be shot… lol. Deer population exploded or some crap and no one hunted them.

Dude, yesterday, I got done with a run by the city Lake (White Rock Lake in Dallas) *more like a big pond so rich kids can have Crew and their parents can own sailboats but whatever…

I look up in this tree and had to do a double take. The birds were all fighting and chirpping and sh!t, then it dawned on me. Those birds are NOT even native to within a 1000 miles of here! I counted four midsized Green parrots! Some crazy lady probably couldnt find a buyer and so finally let them loose at the lake.

Now that I think about it, those parrots are fvcked if they dont find someone to take them in for the Winter. Its all gravy right now because its 100 freaking degrees and theres plenty of bugs to eat… come October them parrots are gonna be Raccoon Dinner. LOL.

Another example of women’s Greed and Waste. They insist on owning these noisy exotic birds that bite people and are a nuisance. Then they get tired of cleaning up after them and ditch them into the wild where the Circle of LIfe results. LOL.

Coldhearted grey beard ? me ??

I love kids and pets,I just don’t have any at the moment.
I even enjoy women’s company in some limited fashion, BUT

When it comes to homelife I like that singular style.
Why?

Well, there’s no one telling me what to do at MY house.
I come and go as I please.
and MOST Important….
There’s no STRIFE in my home.
I go to bed relaxed and enjoy the cool sheets and pillows.
I don;t flop down into them wondering what SHE is thinking, or how I am supposed to make it good.

I have said this before; I DON’T HATE women, I HATE what they do.
aka: lie,steal, manipulte,be irresponsible, unreliable,etc, etc,….

Marry again, Hell NO ! ( Even JESUS was hung on a cross just once)

[HermitParticipant]

The peace and quiet…….that’s one of the things I love most about living alone. I have very good hearing and even with the TV on, even through the 6″ walls on my house, when someone is revving their engine in the distance, it sounds like they are coming up my road. So, it was terrible living with my x. She was constantly making noise of some kind. She would complain that the dishwasher was loud, but when she did the dishes by hand, it sounded like she was trying to destroy them.

The peace, the quiet, the drama free environment, having the bed all to myself, having the whole house all to myself…….having my money all to myself….. There’s just so much that is wonderful about living alone. When I get around people, they irritate me, so being home alone is what I like to do the most.

I didn’t feel like starting supper when I got home last night so I just plopped down in the chair and drank a few beers. No one to complain that they were hungry NOW. Didn’t get the baked ziti out of the oven till way later, but it was on MY time, no one else’s.

It looks like this thread has proven once again, the HUGE benefit of tending to your own space, keeping it unc*nted, uncucked and free of the Matrix’s interference. You guys make me proud.

Thank you for all your attention and comments. I respect and admire all you “grey beards” lol.

Favorite movie, The Bridges of Madison County. just kidding.

The lack of b!tching from the x is so absolutely wonderful. She used to complain that I didn’t mow the grass enough, she didn’t want me drinking beer, she didn’t like the way I ate, I didn’t make the bed, the TV was too loud when she was trying to sleep, the food I cooked was too spicy for her, I spent too much money on guns………she blamed me because she had to have her gallbladder removed. How the hell was it my fault that her gallbladder went bad? Even when there was nothing to complain about, she’d make something up. Then she’d convince her mom and her sister that all her problems were my fault and they’d b!tch at me too.

Now, the freedom from all that stupid schit is so beautiful. I don’t have to walk on eggshells and be miserable anymore. The grass needs mowed, but I don’t care. Let it keep growing. Everyone else has been mowing their yards every week. I’ve only mowed mine twice this season. I’ll get to it when I feel like it. When I want to crack open a cold beer, I do it. I only make my bed once a week after I wash the sheets. I stay up as long as I want with the TV volume as loud as I want. I cook some tasty, SPICY food. I have more guns now and I just bought a thousand rounds of ammunition and have no space in my ammo cans to put it. I just bought it because I could.

I no longer have to see her stupid face or hear her annoying voice. I no longer have to see or hear her mother and sister. The only complaining I’ve heard recently is me cussing myself for splattering roast juice all over my clean stove and counter that I had just cleaned. No problem. I cleaned it a little, but I’ll clean the rest this weekend, when I feel like it.

Freedom…………….I’ll be going home after work today and enjoying more of it. Think I’ll make up a big delicious batch of pickled cucumbers and enjoy them all for myself.

Sounds awesome, Hermit. All of it.

The one thing that would make it perfect though, is if I could erase all the bad memories the cu.nts (male and female) have put in my head.

Gotta do some mindfulness exercises, maybe I can blank them Stoic-style.
