There's such a fine line between spiritual bypassing and spirituality. Spirituality is about leveraging your soul to create more mercy and happiness in the world. Spiritual bypassing is about leveraging your soul for the benefit of capitalism.
No. It's worse for society too because of heightened aggression and despondency in literally every single consumer. There is absolutely nothing good about alcoholism, objectively the most insidious abuse of a drug for both the individual and society.
I guess everyone's different but since I've become an alcoholic my rage for the world has significantly lessened. I just wanna go to work get drunk and watch kino. I was always way too much of a pussy to do anything about it anyways so that probably has a lot to do with it
Gym. Investment. Hustling. Not giving up on his standup, despite failing and getting embarrassed by shittalk. See, this is the problem with incels and this flick, the world is harsh, especially for men. You either become strong and you take in all the shit to make it better or you stay weak and you cause the world to turn to shit. Most if you will never understand this and it's completely simple. Men are designed for hardship, suffering, struggle and strife, the sooner you understand that the sooner you'll have a chance for genuine comfort, approval and success.
>STRUGGLE AND SLAVE TO IMPROVE A SOCIETY THAT HATES YOU AND DOESN'T SEE YOU AS HUMAN
yes good boy break your back, that's true masculinity, be a good little cannon fodder
Did I mention the words "for a corporation" anywhere you dumb frick? Blackpiller crabs are even worse than incels. Apathy is on a lower scale than anger, making tags like you effectively broken worse than any feminized parasite.
Black person pit both of us in a cage, you're going to the fields. Any blackpiller crab is getting bodied instantly in any tribe or society and that's why you need to watch these stupid movies to cope for a better future instead of actually doing something with your fellow man.
>hustling
Aka ripping off other men having problems like you by selling them advice that appears to work but doesn’t without starting another pyramid scheme
You can provide value to this world without ripping others off. Not everything is zerosum. What you do and how you live depends only on you and the choices you make. That is what being a man means.
There is no reason to try even though I want to try.
It's never too late to try, all you need is to want it.
>It's never too late to try, all you need is to want it.
This is untrue, though. Trying and putting in effort just for nothing anyway feels even worse.

No it's not. It's a complete garbage life. Especially the read philosophy and frick hookers part, you might as well just suicide that's beyond pathetic.
Drug abuse. It's less widespread in Europe. In fact some if the homeless in Austria are really nice people that just got dealt shitty cards, like losing their kids.
yeah, I don't really get the whole american fear of homeless people because the ones I see here aren't really dangerous and don't even bother people most of the time, they just beg for spare change
but crack and meth aren't really a thing here, heroin yes but way less than in the 70s/80s/90s, cocaine too expensive for bums

That was easy
he could have fixed his life in a hundred ways if it wasn't a contrivance required by the plot
when he talks to thomas wayne he could have explained he has challenges but could ask for help getting some kind of job. but that can't happen for the plot of the movie to progress so he has to have laughing fits that only occur at the most inopportune moments
His life was fixed inadvertently when he was no longer getting his medication. It stopped making him moronic, and his natural high IQ returned, but by then a lot of damage had been done, (not his fault).
Thomas Wayne was lying. He IS the father, (directly responsible for his situation and likely his brain damage).
By not being so melodramatic. There was literally nothing wrong with his life. My life is way more fricked up than his. He should have gotten his hands broken or something so he could realize how stupid his complaining was.
Also, this movie is corny as frick. Half the dialogue makes me cringe, especially when he's going on his tangents. The subtlety of this movie is that of a brick flying through a stained glass window.
>The subtlety of this movie is that of a brick flying through a stained glass window.
Literally a Letterboxd hivemind opinion. Kys >There was literally nothing wrong with his life. >mentally ill moron with no job, virgin, and at the edge of suicide has nothing wrong with his life
Average Joker seether is a zoomer that experienced no hardship in life so they can't relate.
>mentally ill moron
How so? Because he laughed under stress? Boo fricking hoo. >with no job
He had one. >virgin
He could have changed that. >at the edge of suicide
Why though?
Again, he was being melodramatic. My life is way more fricked up than his. This guy was just a dick who never got rid of his teenage angst. The biggest problem in his life was that he didn't mentally mature past the age of fourteen.
>There was literally nothing wrong with his life.
Are you moronic or what? A guy on his 30s with no job, an ill mother that he has to take care of, no money, a mental disability that ruins every chance of job he could have, and no studies or chances of fixing his life is not bad? >cringe
Oh so you're a zoomer that got rejected and think your life is hard? get over it, gay.
>A guy on his 30s with no job
He had a job, but even if he didn't, he could have gotten another one. >an ill mother that he has to take care of

I mean yeah I've been rejected before and sure it's uncomfortable, but anyone who thinks that justifies going completely insane is a self entitled idiot who needs to have his hands broken. Many people would have killed themselves if they had lived my life. You're an idiot and have no idea what you're talking about so frick off.
>I have OCD, and it can be hell on earth.
homie are you stupid or what? OCD is nothing compared to schizophrenia you fricking idiot. Every zoomer has OCD these days. You are not special.
OCD is hell on earth. I'm also not a zoomer, not that it's important but you threw that in there so I'm addressing it. Schizophrenics hear voices telling them to kill themselves but that's not the same thing as literally feeling like you're being strangled. It's a feeling of deep, deep hopelessness and anguish that there are no words for. Now you'll say I'm claiming this makes me special because you said OCD is nothing which put me in a situation where I needed to address that so that you can claim I'm making a big deal about it. Nothing I can really do about that, but I'm just calling out your strategy. You're trying to wear me out with your ignorance and stupidity and it's working.
>Schizophrenics hear voices telling them to kill themselves but that's not the same thing as literally feeling like you're being strangled.
Yes, it is worse. There's a reason why schizophrenics mostly don't live beyond 30s and have the highest rate of suicide. Without meds it can get so bad you can start seeing things that don't exist, like some horror movie shit, or delusions like in the movie. At it's worse the person stops seeing the different between reality and fantasy.

Try feeling like you're being strangled. I've gotten close to suffocating and losing consciousness from my OCD before. You have no idea what you're talking about but of course that's not going to stop you from acting like you do. If I started seeing things I wouldn't give a frick.
Calm down loser, I have diagnosed OCD and ADHD since childhood, high forms of neuroticism with obsessions and compulsions and I'm doing ok, without drugs. Stop hyping it up. It's embarrassing, the feeling of suffocation is literally nothing, it's like you haven't overcome puberty or something or maybe you're a woman. Schizophrenia is absolute hell, I feel grateful and lucky every day for not being worse, seriously don't make posts like these. If you have issues with ocd, validate your feelings but don't speak for everyone, I know plenty of people with this and they are also OK. It could literally always be worse so calm down and be grateful

I don't take medication either. Also it's not just the feeling of suffocating that's horrible, it's the endless feeling of despair that comes with it. But it doesn't matter because your goal is to discount everything I say. I'm not stupid. I'd be offended but I know you're just routinely trying to frick with me. I doubt you were diagnosed with OCD and if you weren't it wasn't that bad. Someone should strangle you to death. It still wouldn't be as bad as what I've gone through and I haven't even touched the tip of the iceberg when it comes to my experience because you're here to say I haven't gone through anything no matter what.

Look bro, I ain't here to tell you what to do I can tell you what helped me and you can just choose what to do next, I fixed my diet, stopped eating literal shit, fasted, meditated and did calisthenics. Stopped taking so many things seriously and try to improve my life best way I can. I work retail so I can't help but talk to people, most of it is shit and makes me feel worse but the benefits of everything else I do keeps it balanced and I save up regularly.

I did literally all that shit too and more and my OCD isn't nearly as bad is it was seven or eight years ago. There's a lot I'm not saying that I'm not going to say because this is a game where everybody in the thread tells me I've got it great and Arthur has it worse. I'm not stupid, I realize what's happening in this situation.
PROTIP: You Zoomergays who think you have OCD and other gay shit, you actually don't. I know you honestly believe you do and will try to tell me otherwise and why you're the exception to the 99% of overdiagnosed cases, but trust me, you're not.
A generation ago the bullshit disorder du jour was dyslexia. Look up Tom Cruise claiming to have it in the 80's but then later claiming it was cured by Scientology. PROTIP: He never had it, and now has to explain why he can read and write just fine without admitting he was full of shit about it back then.
In another generation trannies will be justifying why they took puberty blockers, wore women's clothes, and cut their breasts off while trying to conceal the fact they were suckered by bullshit artists diagnosing them with some kind of actual 'condition' that is totally realz you guise!

You don't have it. Everyone feels like that on some level. They just don't dwell on it, think it means anything, or 'muh diagnosis'. Welcome to the human condition you melodramatic homosexual. Now get a fricking clue you stupid homosexual and beat the rush.
It's completely overwhelming and you feel like there's no way to get away from it. I can't stress how awful it is. At one point I literally tried nocking myself out. But again, nothing I say matters because you're only here to discount whatever I say. Just know that I wish you tons and tons of pain.

I understand you're in pain but nobody is coming to save you and even if somebody would, you'd push them away because your attitude is that of a clear cut victim, s person in grief, apathy and pain. Get that handled and you will overcome whatever diagnosis you're struggling with. Godbless.

It's because people don't normally open up about their real problems or how they genuinely feel. But it's completely true, no matter how much suffering or pain you're in, you are no alone. Everybody hurts. The degree doesn't really matter, that's what victims do, measure up and compare who's the biggest victim when in reality it's a plea for attention and help. Stop being a victim and you will help yourself, otherwise nobody and nothing can help you.

You mean so you can tell me I don't have it harder than Arthur regardless of what I say. Get fricked. I sincerely hope you experience legitimate suffering.
Only in these times. The only purpose left is starting families. Back in ancient times the world was full of wonder and ignorance. Out of that came a yearning for knowing and exploring. For building and defending communities. Forming ties with your community and the sense of belonging that went with it. Modern day has done away with most of that by now. The only things left discovering are for special institutions to find. Modern man has nothing left but the drive to find a good woman and start a new family. But even that is collapsing on itself. What else is really left?

Then watch the movie again. Notice at which points it shows him running out of meds. Pay close attention that the psychiatrist is TELLING Penny what he wants her to remember happened, not recounting what actually happened, and how she is drugged out but resisting.
Also look closely at photo white face Joker finds before he stabs other clown in the neck.
The way I interpreted it they did have an affair but she's nuts and actually doesn't know who the father is, she just assumed it was Thomas and kept reaching out to him in a desperate attempt to live out her fantasy, much like Arthur wanted. When Thomas ignored her she took it out on her son that was a constant reminder of her failed life.
There is a good reason why nobody wants to work. Imagine you're this guy: working your ass off as cheap labor for people who blopenly don't care about you. But then there 's nothing to come home to except your grim situation. Where is the motivation to keep punishing yourself when the reward is just continued existence rather than life? I mean I guess the film is immature in its extreme fatalism, but really, that is the bottom line of why so many people "don't try"...
Yeah, when every feel is a disorder, and everything can be fixed with a pill because the TV said so
Americans have been described as a 'nation of salesmen' and that's a good thing, but it's just a pity to see how they fall for their own collective bullshit.
Arthur did have it bad, just not in the way homosexuals here realize because they didn't watch the movie hard enough. Arthur was being fricked over by Wayne and medications.
You are obviously a professional victim because you've been busy making this whole thread about you and your moronic shit. kys
>and medications
I had that happen six to nine years ago. And that's probably the worst thing that was happening to Arthur. >You are obviously a professional victim because you've been busy making this whole thread about you
No, I made one post that caused everybody to gang up on me, putting me in a situation where I had to validate my experience, which allowed you to say I was making it about myself. Believe it or not, when you deliberately piss someone off they get pissed off. Incredible, I know.
What are you talking about? Arthur was sexually abused, beaten and chained to a radiator when he was six. The whole movie happens because he can't get over that trauma and it's the reason why he kills his mom. Even then, the movie still shows he's a whiny evil narcissist that just wants attention and retribution for his miserable life, as Phoenix explained many times.
Your plan is to say what Arthur went through in the movie so that in the case I've gone through anything similar I can't say anything about it or you'll say I have victim mentality, so my options are to either agree with you or have several people in the thread accuse me of being a victim. Without opening myself up to that all I'll say is that Arthur was overreacting and there are people who have gone through far worse who didn't strangle their mother.
When some feminazi, dyke, troony and/or one of their SJW white guilt numale closet homosexual lapdogs calls you an "INCEL", " CHUD" or use their generic insult "have sex" or "touch grass", it's because they can't form a coherent thought let alone a counter argument, it's because women are nothing more than three holes which is why even the ugliest, fattest, poorest amongst them can get laid whenever they like. Withholding sex from men is the only power they have. Without that they have nothing and are nothing but vapid shallow herpes riddled prostitutes who think that sex solves everything because they ride through life on easy mode by using their looks and bodies to get what they want which is why you know a woman created the term " incel" because of this while they're narcissists' who think the universe revolves around them and make everything about themselves therefore if a man expresses his problems she thinks that it's really about her and he's only mad because she won't have sex with him as sex is the only unit of currency women understand and enjoy shaming men who are unattractive, poor or of low social status.
And the so-called "men" who use those words are even worse because they're virtue signaling numale cucks who think that they'll get some of that sweet college/university hipster chick pussy when those women will be fricking Chad Thunderwiener and only settle for them once they're looking to nest with a beta orbiter provider after they're done riding the wiener carousel!
No one self-identifies as "involuntary celibate". It's something roasties project onto men who don't put up with women's shit. As if to say "oh, if you had sex you'd agree with me and give in to my demands". This is because women think they can get anything they want with sex and believe this because their white knight lapdog betas would do anything for a pity frick!!!FACT!!!
1: It went against the concept of "white male privilege" and...
2: It showed that Arthurs mother is the reason why he ended up the way he did, showing that women are the ones who create "incels" and that they will never take responsibility for anything.
>It showed that Arthurs mother is the reason why he ended up the way he did
Yes, that's why they're upset, but no Penny did nothing wrong. Women just weren't paying attention to the details like you, otherwise they'd know everything Penny said was true and it was Thomas Wayne all along. Even Arthur figures it out after he kills her, but by that point he's totally run out of fricks to give about anything.
proper medication, proper therapy and an actual support network. the theme of the movie is how society kicked around this mentally ill guy who truly cannot get help and he finally snaps and takes his revenge.

Go to a bar, become an alcoholic, find another alcoholic and frick her. EZPZ
becoming alcoholic is worse
Worse for the individual but better for society
No. It's worse for society too because of heightened aggression and despondency in literally every single consumer. There is absolutely nothing good about alcoholism, objectively the most insidious abuse of a drug for both the individual and society.
I guess everyone's different but since I've become an alcoholic my rage for the world has significantly lessened. I just wanna go to work get drunk and watch kino. I was always way too much of a pussy to do anything about it anyways so that probably has a lot to do with it
It’s only a temporary solution if you stop drinking
Gym. Investment. Hustling. Not giving up on his standup, despite failing and getting embarrassed by shittalk. See, this is the problem with incels and this flick, the world is harsh, especially for men. You either become strong and you take in all the shit to make it better or you stay weak and you cause the world to turn to shit. Most if you will never understand this and it's completely simple. Men are designed for hardship, suffering, struggle and strife, the sooner you understand that the sooner you'll have a chance for genuine comfort, approval and success.
>STRUGGLE AND SLAVE TO IMPROVE A SOCIETY THAT HATES YOU AND DOESN'T SEE YOU AS HUMAN

Did I mention the words "for a corporation" anywhere you dumb frick? Blackpiller crabs are even worse than incels. Apathy is on a lower scale than anger, making tags like you effectively broken worse than any feminized parasite.
i didn't use those words either, cattle. now get back to the fields
Black person pit both of us in a cage, you're going to the fields. Any blackpiller crab is getting bodied instantly in any tribe or society and that's why you need to watch these stupid movies to cope for a better future instead of actually doing something with your fellow man.
There is no reason to try even though I want to try.
>hustling
Aka ripping off other men having problems like you by selling them advice that appears to work but doesn’t without starting another pyramid scheme
You can provide value to this world without ripping others off. Not everything is zerosum. What you do and how you live depends only on you and the choices you make. That is what being a man means.
It's never too late to try, all you need is to want it.
>It's never too late to try, all you need is to want it.
This is untrue, though. Trying and putting in effort just for nothing anyway feels even worse.

Drug abuse. It's less widespread in Europe. In fact some if the homeless in Austria are really nice people that just got dealt shitty cards, like losing their kids.
yeah, I don't really get the whole american fear of homeless people because the ones I see here aren't really dangerous and don't even bother people most of the time, they just beg for spare change
but crack and meth aren't really a thing here, heroin yes but way less than in the 70s/80s/90s, cocaine too expensive for bums

he could have fixed his life in a hundred ways if it wasn't a contrivance required by the plot
when he talks to thomas wayne he could have explained he has challenges but could ask for help getting some kind of job. but that can't happen for the plot of the movie to progress so he has to have laughing fits that only occur at the most inopportune moments
His life was fixed inadvertently when he was no longer getting his medication. It stopped making him moronic, and his natural high IQ returned, but by then a lot of damage had been done, (not his fault).
Thomas Wayne was lying. He IS the father, (directly responsible for his situation and likely his brain damage).
By not being so melodramatic. There was literally nothing wrong with his life. My life is way more fricked up than his. He should have gotten his hands broken or something so he could realize how stupid his complaining was.
Also, this movie is corny as frick. Half the dialogue makes me cringe, especially when he's going on his tangents. The subtlety of this movie is that of a brick flying through a stained glass window.
>The subtlety of this movie is that of a brick flying through a stained glass window.
Literally a Letterboxd hivemind opinion. Kys
>There was literally nothing wrong with his life.
>mentally ill moron with no job, virgin, and at the edge of suicide has nothing wrong with his life
Average Joker seether is a zoomer that experienced no hardship in life so they can't relate.
>mentally ill moron
How so? Because he laughed under stress? Boo fricking hoo.
>with no job
He had one.
>virgin
He could have changed that.
>at the edge of suicide
Why though?
Again, he was being melodramatic. My life is way more fricked up than his. This guy was just a dick who never got rid of his teenage angst. The biggest problem in his life was that he didn't mentally mature past the age of fourteen.
>A guy on his 30s with no job
He had a job, but even if he didn't, he could have gotten another one.
>an ill mother that he has to take care of
A lot of people are in that situation but they don't all go crazy because of it.
>no money
He had some money
>a mental disability
I have OCD, and it can be hell on earth. It's not an excuse to freak out.
>that ruins every chance of job he could have
As long as he's willing to do the work there are people who would have hired him.
>and no studies or chances of fixing his life
How so?
>Oh so you're a zoomer that got rejected and think your life is hard? get over it, gay.
I mean yeah I've been rejected before and sure it's uncomfortable, but anyone who thinks that justifies going completely insane is a self entitled idiot who needs to have his hands broken. Many people would have killed themselves if they had lived my life. You're an idiot and have no idea what you're talking about so frick off.
>I have OCD, and it can be hell on earth.
homie are you stupid or what? OCD is nothing compared to schizophrenia you fricking idiot. Every zoomer has OCD these days. You are not special.
OCD is hell on earth. I'm also not a zoomer, not that it's important but you threw that in there so I'm addressing it. Schizophrenics hear voices telling them to kill themselves but that's not the same thing as literally feeling like you're being strangled. It's a feeling of deep, deep hopelessness and anguish that there are no words for. Now you'll say I'm claiming this makes me special because you said OCD is nothing which put me in a situation where I needed to address that so that you can claim I'm making a big deal about it. Nothing I can really do about that, but I'm just calling out your strategy. You're trying to wear me out with your ignorance and stupidity and it's working.
>Schizophrenics hear voices telling them to kill themselves but that's not the same thing as literally feeling like you're being strangled.
Yes, it is worse. There's a reason why schizophrenics mostly don't live beyond 30s and have the highest rate of suicide. Without meds it can get so bad you can start seeing things that don't exist, like some horror movie shit, or delusions like in the movie. At it's worse the person stops seeing the different between reality and fantasy.
>Without meds it can get so bad you can start seeing things that don't exist, like some horror movie shit, or delusions like in the movie. At it's worse the person stops seeing the different between reality and fantasy.
Try feeling like you're being strangled. I've gotten close to suffocating and losing consciousness from my OCD before. You have no idea what you're talking about but of course that's not going to stop you from acting like you do. If I started seeing things I wouldn't give a frick.
Calm down loser, I have diagnosed OCD and ADHD since childhood, high forms of neuroticism with obsessions and compulsions and I'm doing ok, without drugs. Stop hyping it up. It's embarrassing, the feeling of suffocation is literally nothing, it's like you haven't overcome puberty or something or maybe you're a woman. Schizophrenia is absolute hell, I feel grateful and lucky every day for not being worse, seriously don't make posts like these. If you have issues with ocd, validate your feelings but don't speak for everyone, I know plenty of people with this and they are also OK. It could literally always be worse so calm down and be grateful
I don't take medication either. Also it's not just the feeling of suffocating that's horrible, it's the endless feeling of despair that comes with it. But it doesn't matter because your goal is to discount everything I say. I'm not stupid. I'd be offended but I know you're just routinely trying to frick with me. I doubt you were diagnosed with OCD and if you weren't it wasn't that bad. Someone should strangle you to death. It still wouldn't be as bad as what I've gone through and I haven't even touched the tip of the iceberg when it comes to my experience because you're here to say I haven't gone through anything no matter what.
Literal:
>you have not seen what I have seen
Proof:
>muh subjective feels
Zoomertards arguing about who is the biggest victim with the best excuse and for whom life is the hardest. Frickin' lol. have a nice day.
I'm a millennial.
>implying that isn't probably worse
lol Frick off homosexual.
I get it, whatever I am it's worse. Do you realize how fricking predictable you are? I could say I'm from the silent generation and then that would be worse.
Look bro, I ain't here to tell you what to do I can tell you what helped me and you can just choose what to do next, I fixed my diet, stopped eating literal shit, fasted, meditated and did calisthenics. Stopped taking so many things seriously and try to improve my life best way I can. I work retail so I can't help but talk to people, most of it is shit and makes me feel worse but the benefits of everything else I do keeps it balanced and I save up regularly. Again I'm not here to tell you shit except that I know for sure that victimizing on tv and thinking you're a unique snowflake isn't gonna change anything.
I did literally all that shit too and more and my OCD isn't nearly as bad is it was seven or eight years ago. There's a lot I'm not saying that I'm not going to say because this is a game where everybody in the thread tells me I've got it great and Arthur has it worse. I'm not stupid, I realize what's happening in this situation.
PROTIP: You Zoomergays who think you have OCD and other gay shit, you actually don't. I know you honestly believe you do and will try to tell me otherwise and why you're the exception to the 99% of overdiagnosed cases, but trust me, you're not.
A generation ago the bullshit disorder du jour was dyslexia. Look up Tom Cruise claiming to have it in the 80's but then later claiming it was cured by Scientology. PROTIP: He never had it, and now has to explain why he can read and write just fine without admitting he was full of shit about it back then.
In another generation trannies will be justifying why they took puberty blockers, wore women's clothes, and cut their breasts off while trying to conceal the fact they were suckered by bullshit artists diagnosing them with some kind of actual 'condition' that is totally realz you guise!
You don't have it. Everyone feels like that on some level. They just don't dwell on it, think it means anything, or 'muh diagnosis'. Welcome to the human condition you melodramatic homosexual. Now get a fricking clue you stupid homosexual and beat the rush.
It's completely overwhelming and you feel like there's no way to get away from it. I can't stress how awful it is. At one point I literally tried nocking myself out. But again, nothing I say matters because you're only here to discount whatever I say. Just know that I wish you tons and tons of pain.
I've had tons and tons of pain. The difference is I don't think that means I have a condition or that I'm special.
I promise I've suffered more than you. I know your goal was to get me to say that so that you can say I'm making a big deal about it. Frick it. I hope you get locked inside a plastic bag that gets the air sucked out with a vacuum cleaner and slowly suffocate but don't die from it, just keep on suffocating.
I've yet to post but you two need to calm the frick down.
Victim mentality. You are not sick with a diagnosis, your attitude imprisons you. At some point you've been rewarded for being a victim and now your entire identity depends on it.
Because you automatically discount whatever I say about my experience, putting me in a situation where I need to go into detail about it so that you can then say I have a victim mentality. It's a pretty effective strategy. All I can really do is call it out.
I say that because I identify a lot of the thought patterns you have as my own. I also don't want to get into details and you're for ing it with the whining. Mate, I've lost my fingers in a sawing accident nine years ago. I don't need to go into detail here but you can keep living as a human being and do OK, not as a victim vying for attention. I understand you're in pain but nobody is coming to save you and even if somebody would, you'd push them away because your attitude is that of a clear cut victim, s person in grief, apathy and pain. Get that handled and you will overcome whatever diagnosis you're struggling with. Godbless.
Dumb esl poster
No, we just recognize the attitude. All subjective horseshit - the same way you got your little "diagnosis".
Everybody - LITERALLY EVERYBODY - has these feels, and learns to deal with it. You have just as much PROOF of your 'muh condition' as a fricking troony kid does.
You're just as self-deluded.
Face it. He blew you the frick out. inb4 troony rage
It's because people don't normally open up about their real problems or how they genuinely feel. But it's completely true, no matter how much suffering or pain you're in, you are no alone. Everybody hurts. The degree doesn't really matter, that's what victims do, measure up and compare who's the biggest victim when in reality it's a plea for attention and help. Stop being a victim and you will help yourself, otherwise nobody and nothing can help you.
>you are no alone
Thanks brown zoomer. No one cares what you think.
Mate I'm old enough to be your grandparent. Learn to stop victimizing yourself and you will overcome many difficulties.
He's missing fingers don't be a dick
Q: What does he call fingerless gloves?
A: Gloves.
I admit that mentioning OCD was a huge mistake. Not even going to address everything else you said because you effectively wore me out. This is that thing where you deliberately piss someone off so you can say "Look, you're pissed off." It's been going on for as long as humans have been able to verbally communicate.
So has victim homosexualry, that's why it's so easy for people to recognize and call out your bullshit.
No, I said I had OCD (my biggest mistake) and everyone started discounting that so I had to elaborate on it which allowed them to say I was being a victim.
>literal whiny victim homosexual

He even had free access to therapy and healthcare. Phillips knows nothing about the real world.
>He even had free access to therapy and healthcare.
He got those cancelled. Did you watch the movie, moron? Also, his therapist didn't help him at all.
>He got those cancelled
Yeah, for purely dramatic reasons. Before that the grimy dilapidated hospital had free healthcare and therapy sessions because Phillips is a fricking moron.
>Yeah, for purely dramatic reasons.
No, because the city was broke, dumbass. They say it at the beginning. They cut many sources. And healthcare doesn't mean improvement or fix shit. Many South American shitholes have healthcare and it still sucks. moronic disneyshill.

dumbest shit I ever read
Watch the movie again homosexual.
Brainlet who was too busy trying to read muh Taxi Driver into the film to actually understand it.
Therapy doesn't cure schizophrenia, stupid homosexual. Meds don't help either. Mental illness isn't "le depressed zoom zoom" you see on TikTok. Real mental illness is pure hell.
Tell us your life story then, anon, so we can see if you had it harder than Arthur
You mean so you can tell me I don't have it harder than Arthur regardless of what I say. Get fricked. I sincerely hope you experience legitimate suffering.
Cry, whiny homosexual
nothing, the entire system was rotten

All he needed was a nice GF. Females are the main reason for the existence of evil men.
Only in these times. The only purpose left is starting families. Back in ancient times the world was full of wonder and ignorance. Out of that came a yearning for knowing and exploring. For building and defending communities. Forming ties with your community and the sense of belonging that went with it. Modern day has done away with most of that by now. The only things left discovering are for special institutions to find. Modern man has nothing left but the drive to find a good woman and start a new family. But even that is collapsing on itself. What else is really left?
Become a gamer
if youre severely mentally ill, nothing can be fixed
Go to an AA meeting and stop lying to himself.
Was his mom really crazy or did Thomas Wayne cover up an affair/rape?
Read this:
Then watch the movie again. Notice at which points it shows him running out of meds. Pay close attention that the psychiatrist is TELLING Penny what he wants her to remember happened, not recounting what actually happened, and how she is drugged out but resisting.
Also look closely at photo white face Joker finds before he stabs other clown in the neck.
The way I interpreted it they did have an affair but she's nuts and actually doesn't know who the father is, she just assumed it was Thomas and kept reaching out to him in a desperate attempt to live out her fantasy, much like Arthur wanted. When Thomas ignored her she took it out on her son that was a constant reminder of her failed life.
She was probably Wayne's personal escort. Also she was nuts indeed.
There is a good reason why nobody wants to work. Imagine you're this guy: working your ass off as cheap labor for people who blopenly don't care about you. But then there 's nothing to come home to except your grim situation. Where is the motivation to keep punishing yourself when the reward is just continued existence rather than life? I mean I guess the film is immature in its extreme fatalism, but really, that is the bottom line of why so many people "don't try"...
Just be happy
Move away from Gotham aka Detroit-NYC
>taking 7 different psychiatric medications
Do Americans really?
Yeah, when every feel is a disorder, and everything can be fixed with a pill because the TV said so
Americans have been described as a 'nation of salesmen' and that's a good thing, but it's just a pity to see how they fall for their own collective bullshit.
Your biggest mistake was actually believing you have life harder than everyone else in your own mind.
I don't, my initial point was that Arthur didn't have it that bad and he didn't.
Arthur did have it bad, just not in the way homosexuals here realize because they didn't watch the movie hard enough. Arthur was being fricked over by Wayne and medications.
You are obviously a professional victim because you've been busy making this whole thread about you and your moronic shit. kys
>and medications
I had that happen six to nine years ago. And that's probably the worst thing that was happening to Arthur.
>You are obviously a professional victim because you've been busy making this whole thread about you
No, I made one post that caused everybody to gang up on me, putting me in a situation where I had to validate my experience, which allowed you to say I was making it about myself. Believe it or not, when you deliberately piss someone off they get pissed off. Incredible, I know.
>literal victim mentality
You discounted what I've gone through so that I would elaborate on it so you could say I have victim mentality.
What are you talking about? Arthur was sexually abused, beaten and chained to a radiator when he was six. The whole movie happens because he can't get over that trauma and it's the reason why he kills his mom. Even then, the movie still shows he's a whiny evil narcissist that just wants attention and retribution for his miserable life, as Phoenix explained many times.
Your plan is to say what Arthur went through in the movie so that in the case I've gone through anything similar I can't say anything about it or you'll say I have victim mentality, so my options are to either agree with you or have several people in the thread accuse me of being a victim. Without opening myself up to that all I'll say is that Arthur was overreacting and there are people who have gone through far worse who didn't strangle their mother.
>How could he had fixed his life?
Move out of the city.
>lifting after a shower
wtf
Cleaned his room and washed his penis
When some feminazi, dyke, troony and/or one of their SJW white guilt numale closet homosexual lapdogs calls you an "INCEL", " CHUD" or use their generic insult "have sex" or "touch grass", it's because they can't form a coherent thought let alone a counter argument, it's because women are nothing more than three holes which is why even the ugliest, fattest, poorest amongst them can get laid whenever they like. Withholding sex from men is the only power they have. Without that they have nothing and are nothing but vapid shallow herpes riddled prostitutes who think that sex solves everything because they ride through life on easy mode by using their looks and bodies to get what they want which is why you know a woman created the term " incel" because of this while they're narcissists' who think the universe revolves around them and make everything about themselves therefore if a man expresses his problems she thinks that it's really about her and he's only mad because she won't have sex with him as sex is the only unit of currency women understand and enjoy shaming men who are unattractive, poor or of low social status.
And the so-called "men" who use those words are even worse because they're virtue signaling numale cucks who think that they'll get some of that sweet college/university hipster chick pussy when those women will be fricking Chad Thunderwiener and only settle for them once they're looking to nest with a beta orbiter provider after they're done riding the wiener carousel!
No one self-identifies as "involuntary celibate". It's something roasties project onto men who don't put up with women's shit. As if to say "oh, if you had sex you'd agree with me and give in to my demands". This is because women think they can get anything they want with sex and believe this because their white knight lapdog betas would do anything for a pity frick!!!FACT!!!
Women hated this movie because;
1: It went against the concept of "white male privilege" and...
2: It showed that Arthurs mother is the reason why he ended up the way he did, showing that women are the ones who create "incels" and that they will never take responsibility for anything.
!!!FACT!!!
>It showed that Arthurs mother is the reason why he ended up the way he did
Yes, that's why they're upset, but no Penny did nothing wrong. Women just weren't paying attention to the details like you, otherwise they'd know everything Penny said was true and it was Thomas Wayne all along. Even Arthur figures it out after he kills her, but by that point he's totally run out of fricks to give about anything.
He didn't stand a chance except be the Joker. Society was rigged against him.
proper medication, proper therapy and an actual support network. the theme of the movie is how society kicked around this mentally ill guy who truly cannot get help and he finally snaps and takes his revenge.
