That's being human...not a defect. We all want those things....NEED them.
I don't believe you and think this is more turning pain in on yourself. You clearly aren't someone who just uses people for the benefits. Seeking out those who are good isn't wrong.
This is WHY its obvious you aren't a user scumbag...you suffer because you think those who do prey and manipulate are having better lives and you can't bring yourself to do that. That's not a bad thing...its speaks well of you.
I'm repeating myself but people so often turn things on themselves...the victim/target they know can't fight back. If you attack others they will react...hurt you in defense. If you attack yourself you THINK that's better because you can't do anything...but your mind and body reacts in defense.

Wow, this is a very interesting take on "tuning inwards" I knew I was doing that, but you seem to have a good understanding of this phenomonon, scarily so...lol. I almost wanted to say out loud.."Umm how do you know me so well?..." Its true, its just easier for me to put it all on myself. i cant be bothered with all the dramam that comes with trying to ask people to be accountable to me. Fuck it. And yes, I do think that those who hustle and manipulte and con others have better lives. I think of my perpetrator------ How even though he leaves a string of victims in his wake...he always has a list of those waiting. How fucking god damned unfair. What I would do to have a bunch of guys clamoring just for a drop of me...and I just get used and thrown away like apiece of trash. I just dont get it. I tried all the courses of assertiveness, how to love myself, how to be a confident bitchy woman..all that nonesense... and here I am still the same fucking delicate, flower child, who wants her identity to be in the eye of her king, her man and oh boy does the world look down on that! But wow, reading your reply was startling to me, only because yeah............. And I do wish I could be like that. I predator. Thats how lonely, empty, unfulfiiled I am... that I wish I could turn even to evil to just feel like I am okay. And since of course I cant really do that either. I see CTB as a perfectly legitimate option.... Maybe I'm crazy, maybe its "the depression talking" - but you know, why doesn't society honor just being TIRED as a legitimate reason to die?
Its like our culture wants everybodys life to be a god damned Rocky Movie..... lol. "Dont give up before the miracal happens..." I've been told. If a mirace happens before I get these Meto pills in the mail, great. I wont fight it. The funny thing is, like you said: We all need those things..... SO why soooo many of us end up wth none? Its so wierd!!! lol
