We have to pretend that everything is okay and make a fake smile and say that we are doing good even when we actually don't feel good, I hate it! Don't you guys hate this too? Why do we have to be fake just to survive!?

You can be vulnerable and still survive. You just need to choose correctly when to show vulnerabilities

Survival sucks, try living instead.

Definitely hate it, but it's mostly due, in my opinion, to how disconnected everyone is. Nobody wants to empathize or have much care at all for one another. It's just a lot of escapism and only surface level relationships.

I hate when people turn work into a school yard, like nah i dont need to introduce myself and be funny just because i work here now, everyone should just work and leave the clown stuff for hometime

Good grief I am glad that is overwith, i could not even stand the last 5 or 6 years of 100% complete nonsense.

Some normality is starting to emerge, and cheers to that 🍻

How do you define living in this context?

You think the manager and owners don't have to be fake too?

Ceos have to be fake to shareholders all the time.

I don't fake anything.

And this is risky, and this is why many people fake in the first place

It's very hard to try living when life is nothing but survival, and also the systems make it hard too.

Seems like people either don't want deeper relationships or are scared of trying to form deeper relationships.

It makes sense considering how fake ass the whole Earth Realm is.

As expected - to survive in a fake ass reality, you need be as much of an fake ass as the reality you are trying to survive in.

There is a reason why people like me call this Realm "The As*hole Dark".

Might consider moving to another place if you feel you have to fake things? Doesn't sound healthy in the long run.

Are there any places where I don't have to fake things? I don't know where those places are at. As far as I know in every single country and in every single society people have to be fake.

I live in the United States by the way, and here everybody has to be fake.
