>helping someone isn't about getting something back, anon
It is and isn't. People will help you out of the kindness of their hearts if they can, but if they aren't getting any kind of a return on it they quit bothering. This isn't about you literally getting something. At a point you are putting in all this energy to someone in hopes that it does amount to something positive for them, when people repeatedly sabotage themselves and expect someone else to swoop in and help them it gets a bit tiresome.
The person helping isn't doing so to receive anything themselves, but they also somewhat expect the human decency to not treat them like a piece of human garbage you can get rid of and dispose on a whim because they could have done the same to you and didn't.

At the end of the day if I help someone, I expect them to respect that effort if anything. They don't need to pay me back in any way beyond actually doing something with the help I gave. I'll open my home to a drug addict needing a place, but if they start shooting up in my house they're back on the street again. It's about the blatant disrespect by basically ignoring what you say or just throwing you out for trying to help when you don't need to help them and don't owe them shit.

>glorifying their wrongthink
Oh, let me guess, clearly you know how I should be thinking. Go on then, instruct me on this "rightthink" of yours. I am dying to know what interesting nuggets of wisdom a degenerative homunculus like yourself can impart upon me.

>right now I have ascended into the ultimate foray....FFXI
Whoo! Also don't worry, I didn't mean now, just in general whenever I see you if I log on. Right now a lot of my time has been eaten by BG3 with my boyfriend and playing WoW while I eagerly wait for them to return home from work and I search for a new job, getting kind of tired of living on savings. T_T It isn't undoable, it's just really fucking lame and boring and IDK how NEETs do this shit. I was going crazy after two weeks.

I keep meaning to one day look into that because I missed out on that MMO entirely as a kid, I was far more involved with WoW at the time. I know a few people from here play it but the only person who has really given me any sort of a deep dive on the game was Azmi.

>I don't have friends so I'm just gonna be myself.
Anon, generally that is how you actually make friends. If your friendships are built on "Hey I want to fuck your character" or "Your character is cute" they won't last long or really mean shit to you.
Be yourself, grow confident in being yourself. Naturally that will cascade into being more outgoing and drawing people in with your personality.
So I would recommend scrapping the poll because you're trying to "Be yourself" but taking marching orders from other people. YOU need to decide what this is and start being more self reliant. If people have to tell you what to be, you'll never be happy with being that thing.
