Does this sub depress anyone else?

ThrowawayGhostGuy1 · 2018-03-15T00:00:15+00:00

This sub confirmed that I had a very valid reason to be depressed and, knowing the reasons, I have a better chance at fixing it soon.

myusername11235 · 2018-03-15T00:07:21+00:00

This sub is just a reflection of reality.

MagnusVeritas · 2018-03-15T00:06:41+00:00

The pain caused from confronting such issues is incomparable to they pain you'll experience from avoiding such issues.

If you seek bliss, opt to be ignorant. If you seek pain, opt for the truth.

DangZagnut · 2018-03-15T01:04:32+00:00

Hope for the future? Hope for what? The lie that relationships are all perfect and you walk into the sunset?

Reality is reality whether or not you choose to believe it.

pmmeyourbucketlist · 2018-03-15T00:05:52+00:00

I use this thread in moderation for that reason. The world is a shitty and depressing place. I take my dose of reality and do as I please.

Here it is, a video I always go back too from time to time. When I accepted life isn’t the way I thought it was I searched many areas until I found the manosphere. I stumbled upon this beautiful video, it helped me jump start my life. I hope it does the same for you.

I'm gonna try to elaborate, I tried to respond to everyone but it's hard sometimes...

I guess what is the ultimate truth? Men desire a companion that doesn't exist? Is that the ultimate takeaway from this sub? If that is what this sub boils down to then it basically took my healing process, shit on it and ripped the wounds back open with claws made of salt...

Fuck me...

falselyaccusedguy234 · 2018-03-15T00:50:23+00:00

I need to take long breaks from this sub and current news because it depresses the fuck out of me.

I have no problem with hardship, say a massive natural disaster or outbreak of disease, but the decline of Western civilization is wholly avoidable and is purely the product of people being so coddled and deluded that they have climbed up right into their own assholes.

The idea that we are going to throw away the unparalleled potential that the post-cold war world offers based on nothing but juvenile narcissism breaks my fucking heart.

Anyone familiar with history will recognize that there is nothing transpiring now in the cultural landscape that we haven't already dealt with in the 19th and 20th centuries on multiple occasions, and we already know where all these roads lead. Fine, I guess some people want to do the Spanish Civil War or Eastern European communism all over again. I've already read the story and I know the ending, so call me when it is over and people are ready to start enjoying the incredible wealth, safety and opportunity that modern Western values offer.

BinaryNinja · 2018-03-15T00:13:57+00:00

Sounds like you never dealt with those issues 3.5 years ago, you just buried your thoughts and feelings on the matter.

nikalumoglich · 2018-03-15T02:31:13+00:00

Actually this sub is making me feel better. Because I was dumb and got married my life now is a pile of crap unworthy living, but it's really nice to know that some guys got out this trap to live fullfiling lives again

I'm also using it to get stuff out of my system, stuff that I wouldn't say out loud anywhere else

gravelheart · 2018-03-15T03:21:10+00:00

The only thing that depresses me about this sub is that I didn't have access to its wisdom when I was 16.

Regrets, man. Regrets.

110_percent_THC · 2018-03-15T06:33:38+00:00

This sub has helped instill some confidence in my choice to remain single and focus on self improvement.

The only thing that depresses me about this sub is that some people seem to go beyond things like pointing out the hypocrisy and double standards that exist between the genders or promoting living for one's self and show they just want to shit on women for the sake of it. I'm confident I'm not wrong when I say that there is a percentage of men in this sub that are just pandering to each other. Almost like they're trying too hard to show how much they dislike women. I'm like yeah man I get it. MGTOW isn't a hate group so quit making it look like one.

ChadThundercock7 · 2018-03-15T01:13:53+00:00

This should be a place for healing ... Come, be depressed, rage, rant, learn and move on with your own way, your rules and your own life.

JayJayEcks · 2018-03-15T00:11:55+00:00

Yes.

Yes you are.

Stevesie11 · 2018-03-15T01:07:40+00:00

I'm not asking this subreddit to change, I'm asking if it invites similar emotional responses to anyone else.. clearly you are so adapted to mgtow you forget what it was like when you first discovered it

KrankinTheHog · 2018-03-15T05:19:04+00:00

This sub to me isn't even close to depressing. I love reading mgtow stories I havnt found any good ones recently tho

gantz_au · 2018-03-15T05:32:31+00:00

It's only depressing if you want to live in a fairy tale rather than reality.

I want to live in reality, therefore none of this is depressing, and in fact, the act of burning away all that fairy tale garbage has helped me a great deal with becoming a successful person.

So yeah, I'm actually pretty happy knowing everything I know about the world and I wouldn't trade that knowledge for any kind of supposed comfort living in a lie would get me.

PabloAsscrowbar · 2018-03-15T06:34:42+00:00

The truth is always depressing.

Stevesie11 · 2018-03-15T00:16:58+00:00

I'm what ways?

Stevesie11 · 2018-03-15T01:06:21+00:00

Eh I mean considering I've only recently found this sub that is kind of what I thought... I knew there were serious flaws about society (trust me I found faults in online dating long before I found this sub)

NietzscheExplosion · 2018-03-15T05:23:49+00:00

You are becoming a realist...which is 1000 times better than being a fake optimist like most people.

Be prepared to be called pessimist a lot.

Most_Insane_F2P · 2018-03-15T09:13:42+00:00

If you are depressed, please just try two things:
1) 30min outside
2) 30min exercise

(not meant to ridicule depression)

grotiponeri · 2018-03-15T09:38:57+00:00

Emotions come and go. This sub has intrigued, depressed, elated and angered me in different degrees at different points in time.

mgtownigga · 2018-03-15T10:02:50+00:00

nah, i find it carthartic. Some posts are garbage though.

Solstus22 · 2018-03-15T17:15:00+00:00

For me, I became used to it. But I see it as a way to never forget what women are capable of in this day and age.

fcb98292 · 2018-03-15T19:33:53+00:00

Nah, it just reminds me of why I went MGTOW.

BooDoug · 2018-03-15T22:05:48+00:00

If you're depressed, you care too much!
