I hate relying on other people. Absolutely hate it. I'd much rather die by my own hands, than to rely on someone else to heal me.

Agree.

Maybe you felt let down in the past?

Yeah, but it's also important to have trustworthy people you can depend on. Make it a multiplier instead of a dependency ;P

for the best

100% they'll fuck you up and abuse the fuck out of if you notice it

source: extensive experience by various medical professionals now. is it too horrible for anyone to entertain? yes? well then it seems it happens all the time!

@BordedDev show me one really dependable person. I got none. Even in their own best capacity, I have like two or three. All my life, and all the friends I've made, I have a lot more regrets than dependable people. Sorry for the nihilism.

@jestdotty I mean, if one believes in science medical professionals are just really slow testing utilities. They have to agree with science. Except for whatever the fuck those nutjob herbalists are. Like every other homeopathy expert, who cannot wrap their head around science.

@NoMad Same here ;P but I have 2 (active) friends for over 10 years and one for even longer. And the one for everything is always "around the corner" aka super late. And I've made a lot of friends in my life (went to a lot of schools and extracurricular activities)

@BordedDev hey!

@whimsical I just meant the've been dependable actively for 10 years, you're pretty dependable as well

@BordedDev more dependable and online than your pc :p

@BordedDev I don't even want to make friends anymore. Statistically it's impossible to find good ones. I can't be arsed even investing in ppl anymore.

@NoMad you just have to keep a bit of whimsy in your life otherwise you'll shout at the kids to "stop kicking that damn ball"

But the good friends I have made were never intentional. I'd call people I can have a proper conversation with at work friends but not good friends nor would I depend on them outside of needing to get work done.

@BordedDev 👀 I do shout at kids. I'm old and don't have the nerves to deal with these shitheads. 😛 If I haven't given birth to them, they should not be my problem.

@NoMad Sounds like you have your days full and don't really have time to deal with more people ;P

Also I think they're kicking the ball inside again ;P
