Discussion I finally understand how "normies" get through life

[thereisnoneed]

not to say that "normies" have no problems or can't be suicidal (further from the truth) but they have something i don't have which is basically social and family relations, they can have a bad day and then have a converstion with a friend or a family member and re-charche (not generalizing here, i know having friends and a good relationship with your family is not always helpful) but it has been proven that social interaction does lower your Cortisol levels (stress hormones)

I asked this to an A.I chatbot and i shall copy-paste:
"Yes, social interaction can lower cortisol levels, which are stress hormones. Positive social interactions, particularly those involving physical touch and support, can trigger the release of hormones like oxytocin and dopamine, which have stress-reducing effects. These hormones can help reduce feelings of anxiety and stress, leading to lower cortisol levels."

it's something beyond me as someone who never had friends I.R.L before nor ever had a good relationship with his family members, i can only imagine how better having good social bounds can enhance your life and make getting through the hardships easier, we're social animals that meant to be hunting in groups, we're not Snakes, that's an actual solitary animal that does not mind isolation and is meant to thrive in it.

Yes, that's my problem. Too few satisfying relation. I have family, but I have so enough to be almost always with them...

I think value system has a lot to do with it as well. Note, the value system doesn't necessarily have to be positive. "Don't kill yourself because you'll be reincarnated in Hell as a bed bug" is, in theory, just as life-saving as "Stay alive because life is full of beautiful things just waiting to be explored."

That's what's made me so suicidal as of late, I have relations but they are not fulfilling or even feel real. Its truly a death sentence to not have anyone, at least in my own mind and needs and experiences.
