Exactly... The root of one's depression can go back over a decade, and can be a nigh-uncurable state. Also, depression itself is simply a disorder of the mind and the organs that produce or require a type of hormone(think dopamine or seratonin) and isn't just: "Well I'm said cuz of dis..."

The fact is: joking offers relief and is a great way to relieve stress, especially dark humour or negative humour as you're indirectly tackling something and laughing at it all the same. There's a reason the expression "Mock the Devil and he will flee" exists, and there's a reason why comedians who actively tackle racism, politics, religion, etc. in smart, but funny ways like Louis CK, Bill Burr or Brendon Burns are seen as intellectuals.

Watch some Elliott Hulse videos. Exercise, getting in touch with your emotions, and not being a dick to people tends to make you feel better.

You're getting perceptive.

Alright, I think I'm done here. Wolf, make whatever excuses you want. I don't really care to continue this.

So you are enlightened like DMB? I love how people's first reaction to trolls is to try to analyse them with their non-existant psychology diploma. Tell me ILS, did you spend a lot of time learning about human behaviours or you just googled the easiest way to counter trolls and presumed I was compensating for something?

As for your question, thank you very much for your interest, I'm doing fine. I have a healthy life, I get up in the morning for school usually. I find fun in talking shit on KMC just like you find fun in otherwise totally useless hobbies. It makes me compensate for nothing.

Don't worry, if I feel like going to a psychiatrist I will chose a real one, not a wanna be on KMC 🙂

The fact you think I'm trying to "counter" you reinforces my original point: you're touchy, you're hostile and you're compensating for something. I'm just making observations. Also, I wouldn't recommend anyone see a psychiatrist because f*ck being on mind-altering pills for the rest of your life.

But, if you're happy I'll leave you to it.

Lol. I've always been paranoid.

Coming from you that means absolutely nothing. You built an entire group of people to simply be yes man and support your agenda. You're like Ant except worse because you made contact with them personally and still tried to manipulate them after the fact.

Yeah, I'm sure the fact that everybody thought you were an authoritative ******* when anybody had a dissenting opinion had nothing to do with it.

You're right Wolf. At least you're lucky enough to not have to get beaten up by members of your family.

So I'm the manipulator now? First it was Ant, then it was DMB, now it's me... Hilarious. Did it ever cross your mind that maybe, just maybe you're so desperate for attention you pull an apophenia?
In truth, the initial Hangout was made of people who agreed with me on most things, but that's how we got to know each other -- we agreed on something and that gave us something to talk about. With time they developed, they grew, they learned, and we started disagreeing and debating more often, but I don't hate them, nor avoid them because of it.

Granted, I try not to debate on Google Hangouts as it gets a bit messy, but having a discussion with them is not unheard of for us. I still debate with RHaggis, AI and DMB on so many things and we disagree on so many things... but we still talk, discuss, do calls fairly normally(just not as frequently) etc.

What you're describing is a long-gone past you're desperately clinging to because you were once percieved as the victim, which is sad.

Sounds a little hopeless to suggest depression isn't curable, and that your brain just doesn't work. Depression isn't static, which is why when you laugh and joke it goes a way. Logically, then, if you found a way to tap into that pool of positive emotion on a more regular basis you could overcome your depression?

Obviously, that's kinda why dark humour exists for me. I laugh at it because, well, comedy is tragedy+timing for me and it shows. That's how I cope with my inner anger and depression. Sh!tposting is, in a way, a part of that, but it's obviously never anything serious unless the other party starts getting serious in which case: fight or fly.

What I'm saying is: humans aren't insects. There is no hive-mind or one specific way to get rid of something. Some do it in a healthy way, others in a not so healthy way, but there's a lot of good coping mechanisms and just posting banter on a forum is one of the better ones.

I like shitposting and memes as much as the next guy, but when it's at the expense of someone else is when the low-self-esteem bell starts ringing for me.

If Zoltan and Jack are as content, carefree and emotionally detached as they claim, why do they make it a part of their lifestyle to log in to this site an hurl abuse at strangers, irregardless of whether or not it'd make their day worse? Without trying to preach, surely spending your day doing things to make yourself feel good, or god forbid, make someone else feel good, is a more productive use of your time than making someone else feel shit?

The way I look at it, there's bullies, there's victims and there's someone who is neither. Bullies and victims are insecure about something. People who aren't insecure don't take shit, and don't give shit.

Then we have people calling other people dumb. OK. But if you believe someone is being legitimately retarded (and let's be honest, this happens), and tell them so, it's called being (brutally) honest, not being in need of therapy.

People need to understand that there is no malicious intent here, or vindictiveness, or any nonsense shit like that. Just a mixture of trolling, honesty, and maybe a little bit of exasperation.

On the other hand clearly Syn and Myth have some personal beef with each other, which happens. I suggest they get a room. 🙂

Being in a room with Syn would kill me, lmao. And I really have nothing personally against the guy; he just makes conspiracy theories on any debater he sees as a "threat" at the time.

He legitimately thinks I'm gonna have a hive-mind of Dooku wankers waiting in the wing on Google Hangouts, lmao.

If we're going to discuss forum users being too aggressive to overcompensate, we might as well mention some of them play the victim or draw unneccessary attention to overcompensate something I, admittedly, used to do... but I'm moving past that.

One shouldn't be either an insulting jerk, nor a thin-skinned sheep. Moderation is the key, and radical honesty is the lock it opens. 🙂

Well honestly I didn't think I had a personal beef with him but given he's posted a picture of me here on KMC and is referencing my family life along with other things I've talked about on g chat yeah, I'd say that's probably aacurate.

When did I post a picture of you?

BTW, it's called joking 👆 I've been made fun of for one of my childhood traumas from the G Hangouts gang and I'm still on good/decent terms with them. 👆

Honestly, the passive-agressive nture is one of the reasona, why I spend my time on this forum. It gives me a smile on my face, when Zoltan makes an Joke about heroing, even if it is directed at me; because I don't care about that.

To each their own, man. I believe in real solutions, not coping mechanisms. Without being sentimental; if you have something missing in your life, i.e a problem, find a way to solve it. Don't cope with it. Coping is spending your whole life shitposting on KMC with Jack. There's more to it than that.

Sh!tposting isn't even 20% of the coping. Anyways, the solution to my problem is waaay to convoluted and practically impossible. My depression stems from bodily disorder, family issues and being isolated from society in the most fragile years of my life.

Most of that is behind me, sure, but... a man bitten by a snake will fear even a gecko, as the Serbian saying goes.

I agreed with DMB's view that not being a dick is the cure to feeling a dick before he shared it. And, low and behold, after taking that viewpoint I made a lot of improvements in my life.

Well then I'd appreciate it if you didn't post pictures and information about my family life about me if it's all the same to you.

Also, yes. I do think that about you. And I think Ant fancies himself an authority on canon guidelines on KMC. And I think Emp will continue to convince people close to him of the merits of DBT. It doesn't mean I hate you for it even if I find it distasteful.
