Getting very old I guess. All grand kids grown and have family's now married so their time is divided with their inlaws and their own familys. That happens about the same time all my siblings are gone many of my best friends gone, its not a joyful time in life these senior years. Christmas is a time now to reflect and ride it out this too will pass. |

Christmas is a time now to reflect and ride it out this too will pass. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78061422 I'm not really a senior, but pushing 60. No grandkids yet. My kids are busy trying to make names for themselves in their careers. i divorced a couple of years back and everybody in the family makes a lot more money than I do. They kind of look at me as a poor lonely wretch. I don't know why. It's not like I am really poor - I make about $70k, even though I know it's not the hundreds of thousands that they and their in-laws and my ex make. Still, I live in a nice house, I have a ton of friends. Money in savings. I'm happy for the first time in years. But I'm not remarried, and I think they think people who are not married are losers or something. It's just unnatural to them I guess. So, I'm with you on reflecting and being over the holidays. I would rather just have it be an ordinary old day. The holidays bring out the worst in people who are trying to be generous, and by doing so they make other feel like losers. |

I kind of had an epiphany the last couple of weeks. I did that whole volunteering thing for Thanksgiving. I took some families I knew who were struggling out to get groceries. It made me feel good about myself and being a decent person. However, for Christmas, I am now on the receiving end of being made to feel like people are doing me a good deed, and it made me think that in some respects, this holiday generosity is more for the person doing it than the person on the receiving end. Having to accept "gifts" from people can really make you feel like shit. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75631566 FUCK IT ALL THE WAY TO NEXT CHRISTMAS...AND FUCK NEXT CHRISTMAS TOO. THIS WORLD IS A BLITHERING SHITHOLE OF DOOM AND DEATH AND BETRAYAL. ITS ALL FUCKING BULLSHIT. THIS LIFE AND EVERYTHING IN IT IS FUCKING BULLSHIT. NO ONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT ANYONE AND THOSE THAT DO ONLY DO SO CAUSE THEY FEEL OBLIGED TO. FUCK ALL FAKE PEOPLE. FUCK CHURCHES AND THEIR ENDLESS FUCKING GREED. FUCK GOVTS AND THEIR ENDLESS FUCKING GREED. FUCK CORPORATIONS AND THEIR ENDLESS FUCKING GREED. FUCK THIS SHIT FUCKHOLE PLANET TO THE DEPTHS OF THE DEEPEST PIT OF SHIT IN THE UNIVERSE. ITS JUST A GIANT FUCKING TURD AND US HUMANS ARE THE BUMGRUBS THAT INFEST IT LIKE THE GIANT CURRY SHIT IT IS. There...i feel better now. End rant. Well all I can say is be that candle in a dark room and show the love of God to Your fellow Man. Yes You are right that the majority of people are selfish pricks but believe Me little acts of kindness can make a difference in someones life when they are going through hell. I lost My car this year and I was walking back and forth to work functions and sometimes it was up to 10+ miles but I did it anyway. Well one day when I was walking back home and old man stopped to pick Me up and believe Me I had a great time talking to that old timer and it reminded Me that there are good people out there and all You need to do is give of yourself. I later was walking home in the rain and a lady stopped to give Me a towel and that really made Me feel so much better that one person gave a flying fuck while the others didn't care if they gave Me a road side baptism or not. So You see just lending a helping hand can really help another person and just giving of Yourself can literally keep someone from killing themselves. Pussy Grabber Extraordinaire |

User ID: 78141312 United States 12/24/2019 01:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I used to love Christmas. But as the years went by without being able to have children and my birth family died off, I find each year sadder. I have a spouse,who also sadly has no extended family. An injury cost me my job a few yrs ago and the loss of income has put us at the poverty line. We have each exchanged $100 and then put it back into bills the last few yrs. My spouse does not seem to care, but I cry more every year.... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78275510 All I can say is move to a different area and look for other jobs. Your husband could try to get on in the oilfield and since no one wants those jobs He will be able to make a good living. I have worked in the offshore oilfield for 22 years and believe Me there is no competition to come out here and I lost one job in september and 3 days after sending out My resume I had two interviews lined up and I only sent out two resumes. It helps that I'm in a small field with maybe 500 people trained worldwide to do this job and it burns people out quick so I'll always have a job. Oh if anyone is interested I'm a hydrographic surveyor and yes companies regularly take untrained people and hire them on for training. Pussy Grabber Extraordinaire |

User ID: 78141312 United States 12/24/2019 02:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Been with a girl for just over a year. Our anniversary was on the 4th. Her birthday was about one month before, on 11-10. I bought her a few things- a giant stuffed dinosaur, a bottle of single malt scotch, and a set of whisky rocks. She likes that stuff. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76821285 We met in paramedic school. We didn't talk much. Nearing the end of the first semester, my other partner failed out. I always thought she was cute so I decided to go for it. We studied together every single day for months. We bonded. We became boyfriend and girlfriend. We traveled, we went on adventures. I really, really thought she was the one. About a week ago, she said the pressure of our relationship was making her unhappy. She asked for a week off. I agured at first, but I came to the conclusion that there was no talking her out of it. So, I begrudgingly agreed to the week off. I KNEW that she was going to break up with me. One week later, she did. We both passed our national registry exam months ago in September. She waited to apply to jobs for a while for me. I had to wait because I'm worried about failing a urine analysis. She waited for about two months. I still couldn't pass. She applied and got the job. Im still unemployed. She moved on. Here I am a few days before Christmas. Totally alone. No family. No job. I guess no one to blame but myself, Im 38 years old. I've never been married and I have no children. In my 20s I suffered from depression so severe that I lost nearly a decade of my life. For the first time in over a decade I had that gut feeling of panic and hopelessness I haven't felt since. That was yesterday. I know you don't know me but my name is Michael. If anyone is reading this, please, please pray for me because I feel so bad and there's no one around to help me. Please, just wish me happy thoughts. I need them now more than ever. Look Bro I went through the same bullshit growing up. I had a terrible childhood in that I couldn't have friends and I was bullied a lot. I've always had problems with relationships and I've always kept people at arms length because life has always taken friends or loved ones from Me. So I would say from 14 to 28 I was literally in Your shoes until one day I just stopped giving a fuck and decided to be myself. I found My first love at 28 and it was because I learned to not care what other people thought and I allowed Myself just to be myself. My EX said She was attracted to Me because I was good looking, funny, and I had a great ass which is rare on a guy. What I'm saying is get Your life straight with a career and learn to love Yourself and everything else will fall into place. A person whom loves himself doesn't sit around smoking weed so think on that. Also stay positive and good things will come to You. We all have lovable traits and You just have to realize what Your traits are and cultivate those above all else. Pussy Grabber Extraordinaire |
