Gosh dang it, do y’all ever feel yourselves teetering on the edge? Like you know that as soon as you stop smiling… the self hatred will seep in? That as soon as you stop going, going, going all the time, hopelessness will take over?
I try not to let the world kick me down for my beliefs over and over again, but I’m a straight, white, Christian (specifically “Mormon”), conservative male, and everything society tells me is that I’m worthless. That I should kill myself and everyone like me. That we’re parasites upon society. That all I do is make others feel like trash by standing in the same room. That I hate everyone, even though everyone hates me.
I’m sorry. I know everyone on here will disagree with me, and I might offend some other group that will scream at me that I don’t know what bad emotions feel like and I’m oppressing them. I should just hold backspace and turn off my phone. But I’m a weak little guy, and I’m just going to complain instead.
SpoilerGuys, it’s probably all good. I’m fine, or trying to be. I’m sorry.

Thanks guys. You’re right.
QuoteI don't think it has to do with what you believe, or your gender identity, or even the storming color of your skin. People will make you feel bad no matter what and eventually, you just have to kind of ignore them. Because they aren't worth your time, and you shouldn't be focusing on what they think, or what they want
You are totally right here, but the thing is people will nitpick at that sort of stuff without getting to know you first, regardless of how you fit into those demographics.
Normally I’m very much the type of person to ignore everything, but that’s easier said than done, as I’m sure you can all agree.
I can feel myself starting to fall down a slope, with my hands and feet constantly moving, trying to grab rocks that just slip away.
But your words of advice and comfort are very appreciated. You guys are truly some of the best people I have the privilege to communicate with.
