Agreed.
Tried the feeling thing...literally nobody gives a serious damn about someone elses problems. There's no fix. That was a waste of time and resulting in further progression into depression and resentment for humanity. 'friends' checked out and ghosted. My inner circle consists of me and my dog. Birthdays come and go and no one notices I'm still here. Actual months go by without a human ever wondering where I am. Literal milestone birthday was spend sleeping. Work overloaded, only one on my team. Health declining fast. Dental issues. Haven't had a real laugh in years. Don't eat anymore. Work, sleep, dog walks. My life. I've checked out completely. If it wasn't for my mother still being alive and my dog....
Y'all take care of yourselves. Walking proof of how fucked you can get with no sign of ever getting better. Don't let yourselves get in the same bad situation I'm dealing with.
Throwing your phone in the lake is genuinely good advice, at least as far as mental health is concerned. Probably don't kiss birds, gently or otherwise, these days, though.
I also thought it was a red potato cube, the fries obviously evolved to blend in with the background. It's a great anti-predator adaptation, almost got me!
