And unfortunately I seem to have no natural physical attraction to males and don't feel comfortable with being penetrated, kono hentai! I'd just feel violated and it could bother me for the rest of my life. IIRC something like 1 in 3 male rape victims ends up committing suicide, or at least attempting.
That's just how the world works man. You look responsible and classy and that's how people will treat you. Nobody cares at the grocery store or whatever, but job interviews, the doctor, it most certainly matters. That's what separates people like you and me from people like Bill Krozby.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

I've always held the position that if you're depressed, it's your job to just quit being a sadsack and get over it. I realize though that this mentality might not work for everyone, and there can be biological contributors to depression and PTSD. It's not always the person being a wuss over a traumatic event.
In Malice's case, it's clear there's something seriously wrong with him that went untreated or ill-managed over a number of years, and so yeah, it's understandable he has problems.
PTSD has nothing to do with being a wuss or not. It actually has more to do with memory than anything else. Nobody can intelligently argue that remembering is not a survival tool. When your are a child and you touch a hot burner that memory prevents you from injuring yourself that way again. What many don't realize is that forgetting is also a survival skill. There are certain things that we need to forget in order to cope with traumatic events.
Recent studies indicate people with naturally lower levels of anandamide, which attaches to the same receptors than delta 9 THC attaches to, are more susceptible to PTSD following a traumatic event. It is thought that one of the important functions of anandamide is to help to forget the traumatic experience. This is why weed helps those of us with PTSD. The active "ingredient" in marijuana is like a natural substitute for anandamide in regard to memory issues related to and arising from PTSD.
There are numerous articles available on this very topic.

thats all very interesting and everything but its actually weed that helped me remember a couple of traumatic events.. -
2017-05-04 at 3:31 PM UTCAnother note on PTSD, Tetris and similar games played right after the event can help greatly lessen or prevent the memory formation. A benzo or other drug with a strong amnesiac effect is something I'd definitely also recommend, along with propanolol. They really should have this on hand in the military and other organizations with a predisposition to trauma.

I look responsible though compared to malice, I don't feel the need to sport funky haircuts for attention or dress like im in the matrix, so I'm not really sure what you're talking about. -

One might argue just about anything on any topic. Simply stating that is not an argument. If you have data to present that argument have at it. Otherwise you are simply stating an opinion based on poor information. -

Well, you said people are biologically predisposed to suffering from PTSD. This is a biological weakness. As you said - forgetting things is key to survival. Being less fit for survival is weakness. QED. The entire premise of what you said indicates PTSD is a weakness that must be overcome (in your view by smoking weed), but you finished it off with "it's not about weak or strong".
"It's not about weak or strong" seems more based in feelings than facts.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

I concur that ptsd is a societally-induced form of weakness. I know people who claim to suffer from it and they flaunt it like a medal. every one of them is a weak bitch.
I've experienced situations that are exponentially more traumatizing than every one I've first-hand heard of and I sleep well every night. -

I'd say the idea that there's a biological aspect to it is valid, but the majority of people claiming PTSD these days either don't have it or are using their experiences to bludgeon people into submission to their demands because they were made to feel weak and it's the only way they can think of to turn those experiences into a source of strength. -
2017-05-04 at 4:53 PM UTCPTSD is a real thing though, I'm sure. I feel pretty terrible for people who are told that they'll never get over their trauma and it's okay to feel that way... because even if they could, it robs them of the will to try.

wtf? no. don't erase your experiences like a scared child...you embrace them, learn from them, then use them as fap material. because traumatic experiences are sexually stinulating. they literally give me a boner. I am literally not exaggeratingThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

So in other words no data just more poorly informed opinions. Thanks for clearing that up. -

Err I'm literally saying your data is conducive to weakness. It's a biologically rooted emotional/psychological weakness caused by a relative lack of anandamide (a physical weakness that causes emotional/psychological symptoms, in effect). Even Superman has weaknesses. ?_?

Its not my data. You haven't read it. You have not presented any documented data to support your position or undermine mine position. You are still just posting an opinion. -

It's the data you gave. For the sake of this conversation it's yours. If I'm just posting an opinion "it's not about strong or weak" is just as much an opinion, and it's fine to respond in kind.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Well then I guess we have no deal.. considering you don't have a pobox or a friend in the world where you could give me their addie so you could pick them up and considering you never leave your room
what good are you as a tranny if you can't shake some booby tassles, you suck. Tort told me the other day that you're the worst trans in the world
you could actually make something out of yourself if you practiced and at the end of your act extended your limp wrist and politely said "derpadew!" at the end of every show, you no showmanship or pride in your work.
