Yeah. To the confessor, there's absolutely no need to put yourself into a mental disorder pissing contest, because another's issues don't inherently invalidate your own. At least from what you've written (and from my own experience), it sounds like your friend's found comfort in being able to use their own problems as a justification for superiority, uniqueness, stagnation, and/or comfort, and that they can't stand the possibility of something encroaching and rocking it. You could try talking to them about things, but depending on how entrenched things are, you could risk pushing them away if they're not arriving at these new outlooks themselves.
Either way, absolutely look into therapy if you at all can, to reiterate what everyone else has said. Downplaying what's going on doesn't actually alleviate anything.
Shit.

Last years was great, cannot wait to hear more and possibly offer advice to some confessors.

Lol, Gaf has been killing me today.
Damn, if I'd seen this thread yesterday I would've confessed something but other people know enough of the story that I can't now XD
There'll always be more volunteers though

Can't explain all the feelings that you're making me feel
My heart's in overdrive and you're behind the steering wheel
What happened to the third guy, also this guy is a dicj.

Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it."

I've been on this website for about 2 and a half years and somehow I never knew about these threads. This should be interesting...

Holy shit this is actually depressing.
Dude, a bunch of strangers might be able to sympathize with you, but if you haven't already you should talk to a professional about it. I wish I and others on GAF could do more. Someone who has gone through this sort of shit deserves all of it

That was actually kind of upsetting
And please do seek some professional assistance. You might not get exact answers to some things, but it most definitely will help.
I'd definitely seek out a CSA-specialised therapist, confessor. It's gonna be all ok.

Holy shit dude, a little help is better than no help.
I had ED problems relating to past relationship problems and my therapist told me to score some Viagra. Once you get over the hump (heh), a lot of the problems melt away. I didn't do that, but I did get over the problem with time and it's like I never had it. That part doesn't have to kill your chances at a future relationship. Go see someone.
Seriously, get help confessor. Even if it doesn't give you the most direct answers, it'll give you what you need to find them.

You know, when you said "Darkness is coming" NTGYK, this was not what I expected.
That said, whoever you are Confessor, please get help. There's no reason to hurt yourself by staying silent.
Yeah I feel bad for the way I reacted to that post now

Subscribed! I also sent in my first confession.
For every future confession I'm going to replace "I" with "Professor Beef" for humorous results.

And we end Day 1 with an update from the Friendly Groper:
I can't quite put my finger on it, but this entire situation just seems utterly bizarre.
It's like no one here really cared enough to do much of anything about it.

I'm heading to bed, but I do want to say a couple things before I do.
There is some crazy stuff that comes through the confessional, some funny stuff, some heartwarming stuff, and some soul-crushing stuff.
Sometimes all four. Not everything is entertaining. You gotta be prepped for that when you wander in here, especially if it's all wrapped in the spoiler tags. Now, I'm not gonna drop something like that above confession without tags because I don't want this reaction constantly, where it winds up that people are simply to sickened or distressed to come to this thread. Ideally, I'd like everybody to visit, have some fun in some cases, and do their best to help or give sympathy in others.
Insane stuff like this year's Scumbag Dad or Doozy wouldn't be wrapped in tags. But there is some stuff involving certain topics that will be. We had a couple of distressing issues last year regarding this, which is why I'm being a bit more cautious about it this time around. There's already a couple other confessions in the box like the one above, so this isn't the end of the darkness. I am the only person that has to read all of the confessions, but don't feel like you have to. We all have varying levels of material we can and cannot tolerate.
But hey, we got some good stuff in the coming days as well, I promise. Plus, one of my all-time fave confessors is back with a fantastic update!

Well the darkness certainly arrived, hopefully that GAF member will get the help that he needs.
I need to look at cute pug photos now.

Man, this thread made me so depressed last year. 10/10 would crave the darkness again.
Confessor, there is no scenario in which talking to someone will be detrimental. I can't begin to imagine how being in your place could be, but I've been in dark places before and every time I said I didn't want to talk to someone or thought that it wouldn't make a difference, I've been proven wrong. Maybe it won't (which I highly doubt), maybe it will, but what I can guarantee it won't do is make matters worse. Give it a shot, for your sake.
Would have to have been held back in kindergarten or something like that.

Yup, sounds more like a party of college students at least.
Yes, please seek help.
