That post unironically tilted me
if he was talking about college basketball fans I would agree with him, atleast the crazy ones
My apologies.
That's not what I said and you're bringing in shit from other threads to influence unrelated thoughts. For the record, I think you going through education at this age takes persistence and I genuinely enjoy seeing people who are (through self proclamation) improving themselves to a significant degree.
However I cannot condone you calling me a drug addict and putting words into my mouth about calling you an underachiever. You don't know what I have achieved in my life and you don't know what I've struggled against to get where I am.
I am realizing my brackets seem sarcastic where I say through self proclamation: let me clarify that these words are bracketed to emphasize that I am not the one saying implicating that said person's current status in life is in some way better than a previous status as that makes the implication that they were originally underachievers which is not my intention.
im struggling to articulate why i think this was just not good to post even if it were true and accurate
it just comes off as in the pseud-who-finds-ways-to-look-down-on-others genre tbh
like in your worldview are the only fully actualized people the ones who don't find enjoyment in stuff like following sports? is you pointing this out gonna snap us out of it and put us on the path to Greater Self Actualization?

it's tasty and I like it but it will never be as good as getting it in restaurant and having all the pork still being crispy as it was just tossed in the sauce seconds before getting to you
that shit will change your life
Posting this had no ulterior motive, I've been quite open in the past that I'm quite sentimental and I wanted to share my thoughts. I didn't expect it to get backlash however after defending myself, I do feel the need to backtrack a bit on my apologies and explain the original post.
When I say sports, it's the same to me as a thread discussing actors or musicians. It's a form of worshipping the achievement of others and maybe I'm just inferring meaning that's not there from other posts on other threads on the website, but there's something that felt distinctly sad to me seeing people obsess over basketball players and basketball teams after reading so much about their own lives in the past five years.
I'm not lording over this melancholy feeling like it's a divine or rational assessment of your lives, I'm just making an observation on this trend in general. I'm sure you've had the same feeling when you see some of the shit online, take a girl obsessing over instagram models for example and comparing herself to them constantly. It triggers something within you, makes you sad on a deep level. That's what I felt. I'm not an idiot and upon rereading my post I can see how it came off as some "durr sports is bad" post so I apologize.
no need to apologize my g, your heart was in the right place
Disagreed he is extremely lost
I don't really think we should talk about this anymore because analyzing it over and over will just make benny feel worse, let's just move on
i think i got where you were coming from in the first place, and i didn't take it as "durr sports is bad"
there's just something about this whole line of thought that still somehow comes off as ego-driven and unproductive anyhow
i don't mean to discount your sentiments as faked or involving ulterior motives, but just ultimately reflecting unnecessary egotism stemming from general alienation in the first place? still struggling to articulate it perfectly. it strikes a chord because my mind is sometimes in similar places but i don't actually respect that part of my own mind and actively seek to avoid encountering stuff that brings out that part of me.
but maybe my reaction isn't productive either; this is the last i'll talk about it. i do perceive your sentiments as good faith and hope the best for you regardless.
