    Some people just have a mentality of pure negativity.

    I once dated a doctor, who was a fellow at the best hospital in the world, who had a pretty amazing life, from my perspective. They grew up with wealthy parents, they went to Standford, for free, and had a degree from Harvard Medical school, and they’d completed their residency and had a salary of about 350K at the age of 30.

    From their own perspective, they hated their life. Nobody likes them, they were a failure, they were poor and struggling, etc. etc. The same rhetoric you get from so many people here. And I’m sure when I walked away from them because of their extreme self-negativity, they thought I was just also another mean terrible person to them. And they kept lecturing me about how ‘naive and dumb’ i was for being happy with my life…

    People just become prisoners in their own minds and can’t see any good in the world or their own lives.

        Yeah it was brutal. She was a really good doctor too. But just… had zero perspective on her life and was super bitter than other people had more money than she did.

        She also wanted a cat but then kept saying how she can’t get one because it will mean she is a pathetic sad lonely single person. It was so weird. I had a cat and she would come over and play with him all the time… then start in on her self-hating rants. She could never just enjoy something.
