Everything here was supposed to disappear. Banned subreddits, deleted communities, cancelled blogs — much of what is archived here survives nowhere else.

It stays free — no paywall, no account — for the next man who comes looking, the way it was free for you.

I pay for the servers, the storage and the bandwidth myself. If you want this record still standing in ten years, become one of the people who keeps it online.

It's not quite regularly. I certainly talk to girls at the bustop, behind counters, in line, wherever, but it's usually more of a passing conversation than approaching.

And yes, I can say with 100% confidence, I'm confident in myself. I know, for a fact, that the girl who finally goes for me will be more than satisfied, I know that I'm attractive, but I don't have confidence in others. I see people as abusive, dismissing, and generally ignorant.

But, also, I'm depressed as fuck. And pills ain't doing it, and, honestly, I feel betrayed enough by society that I'm generally unsure whether I really ever want to be a part of it or not. And I respect this as well.

And, honestly, most of the stuff I read on here could be labeled "how to be the perfect tool." Very practical, but illogical stuff. Things which work, but which further us down what is basically loudness wars, where we end up with everyone yelling about how alpha they are, and nobody hearing the polite self aware "just another being in seemingly infinite space" giving their honest opinion...

Anyways, the point is, confidence in oneself is not the key, it's comfort with others, and that's a gap rarely crossed. Like an abused dog.
