These thoughts of mine were included with another post I made, but I felt they should stand alone.
Part 1:
Growing up in a family circle of "rugged individualism" and failing to meet their standards, they all get to see what happens when someone does not get proper life guidance and makes so many bad choices that they dig themselves into a hole they can no longer climb out of.
What does the family circle say to that person? "You will figure it out. You still have time. You have your whole life ahead of you."
They are oblivious to all that I am thinking and feeling, and they are still stuck in solve it yourself mode, yet these same people, on the day they are informed that I have finally ended my game, will ask why—why did they not ask for help? Why did they not say anything?
The same questions should have been asked while I was breathing.
Part 2:
Will they mourn my death? No, they will then ask those other simple questions: "How could they do this to us? Why did they do this to us? How could they embarrass us this way?
The funny thing is, they are all still watching my life in real time and have the opportunity to intervene, but they hold fast to "rugged individualism," so they will never help.
I am my family's real-life Wile E. Coyote: Instead of chasing a bird, I tried to chase life, and it eluded me because I didn't have the proper tools, and anyone who has seen Wile E. Coyote knows that ACME's complicated contraptions fail catastrophically, sending said user headed for the cliff.
So they are just waiting for the notification that my life has finally come to a catastrophic conclusion, after which they will change channels.
Sorry for my rambling or incoherence.
