The story
*** DISCLAIMER ***
sorry this is a vague post and maybe categorized as family drama since there are elements of it more predominantly than other categories i could select, there may be more elements of politics and stuff also but couldnt find the category
*** MAIN POST ***
1. i have trust issues with my father, i remember when i was still in school he suddenly smacked me, i was by no means a good kid but it was so sudden and still affects me up to today and counting, im still in same house as him and its not fun, sometimes he can go after my mother when she makes mistakes also, but still i agree with many things he says or that said mistakes can be stupid, as much as he might of changed or willing to, my gut feeling physically wont let me trust him
2. i see the worlds heading in a wrong direction, many goverments, especially uk right now, seems to be getting more oppressive, i want to leave but idk how, idk about working a job cuz it seems like ill just get exploited by capitalist and get trapped in a life that i dont enjoy, one where im too tired constantly, where i cant express myself easily
3. i need this question answered in an unbiased manner please, is life still worth living, is there genuine hope to look forward, even tho theres corporate exploitation at every turn, and i have no one to turn to without a filter, what is it, am i being too sensitive, should i just man up
Thanks all for reading

man, i get struggling with trust and the whole family drama; i've been there. my father was strict too, and it took me years to realize not everything he said or did was gospel truth. maybe it's worth remembering that just because someone's family doesn't mean they automatically deserve your trust without earning it 🤔 as for the world's direction and work – yeah, lot of us feel trapped by capitalism's constraints!! shout-out to those folks who manage to carve out a niche doing what they love without sacrificing their mental health 🙄 but seriously?! life is always worth living even when systems try to break you down – sometimes finding hope means redefining success on your own terms..; maybe explore new avenues or interests??? think about what genuinely makes you happy? you're not being "too sensitive," just honest about what needs change. hang in there man.
sounds like a chat gpt response but jesus christ people actually think i should hang in there, i might think about the interest when i can tell im safe to, but looking at news stories, internet, hearing my parents arguing financially, makes me think hope is a long shot, and never give up just isnt selling
news stories will be always like that dude, always a batch of bad stuff happening in the world...
Totally hear you on the trust issues with your dad; it's tough when past experiences still haunt your present. It might help to establish boundaries or find a neutral space where you can communicate better. As for how the world’s going, it feels like we’re all in this weird limbo—finding meaning is like sifting through chaos these days. Maybe try to focus on small wins and things you can control? And life’s value isn’t tied to systems or external pressures but in moments of genuine human connection; keep talking, keep questioning, keep searching for those fragments of hope that defy the status quo💪
Hey, first off, sorry to hear about the trust issues with your dad; family drama can be tough as nails but sometimes it's just about waiting out the storm and finding your own safe space 🌦️.
would be nice just slow down and stuff, but its not how capitalism works?
Indeed, that's not really how our system/life works... :(
It's quite evident you're facing some substantial challenges with your father and the world around you; I must say, it sounds tough dealing with that kind of environment where trust is on shaky ground. Family dynamics can indeed be complicated, especially when past actions linger in present feelings; however, it's important to recognize the potential for change or at least find ways to coexist without friction. As for the state of governments and the capitalist system, people often feel like cogs in a relentless machine, but there are always opportunities to carve out your own path and defy expectations!! It's crucial not to lose sight of personal fulfillment and perhaps look into avenues where passion meets purpose? Life's value isn't diminished by current circumstances; it has inherent worth. Seek out what truly resonates with you instead of just conforming – that's how change begins!?
stay curious and hopeful, man, life has its way of surprising us even when things seem grim!..
can u name an example, what surprises actually happen that keep u going
