It's like the two women I overheard over dinner the other night. They are trying to support each other, I think, but are showing each other further and further into suffering - all to make themselves believe. all to not have to change, or admit failure or weakness, as A did.

Just to keep the scam going for one more day. This is drinking logic. This is how alcoholics act. The fact that people show up and listen to her, is horrifying. Why would you ever listen to the advice of someone unhappy, about how to live a happy life?

The reason you listen to the stories of broken people, is to know what you should AVOID. Unhappy people, even if they are the smartest people in the god damn world, will only ever tell you how to be unhappy - how THEY are unhappy.

Case in point: In all of her text, she never once said she was happy. She never implied it. She didnt even emote it. It wasnt even a consideration. All just pure spite. it felt so dark.

crowd cheered of course, as they are trained to. she said all the "correct" things about women. but it was all just a show. The air in the room wasnt electric as it is when people are moved. They cheered because they were "supposed" to, not because they felt anything.

Compared to A, who elicited genuine laughter and tugs in the stomac, and really connected with people.

I sat for a while, shook. Thinking about all of this. then I went up and talked to B. congratulated her on her performance, being pleasant and civil. told her she had "made a lot of sparks go off in my mind", which was a truth, even if she thought I said something different.

After a quick exchange of pleasantries, I straight up asked her: "Are you happy?". As in, in general, in life (language diff). I was uncertain. If she was, then I might be wrong about everything. Looking back, phrasing it as that was either a mistake or a lucky stroke of genius.

It's like asking "how are you", still. only one answer. "Im fine, how are you". It's not a real question. Of course, she answered "yes". But the lucky stroke of genius was, that since there was only one way to answer, I could focus entirely on her face. To tell if she was lying.

She flinched. Not in shock. Not in surprise at the off-the-cuff question. But in FEAR.

Holy crap this was a great thread, but very blackpilling at the same time, this is a microcosm to the macrocism of modern nihilistic hedonism that is celebrated as the ultimate "progress" and moral "good".
