Only friendless losers who can't get laid experience this issues...


SPOILER FREE

Look, I like Gillian's work like anybody else (Brazil), and I can dig subjective/existential films (Cube), however this just wasn't well done in my opinion.

I mean, for a moment I actually felt i was back at the shrink mommy and daddy sent me in my teens (hyperactiveness before Ritalin was available), where all I got was endless navel-gazing and square-circling BS pet talk (when the shrink does most of the talking, you're been ripped off, and that is ASSuming the profession is not 100% BS to begin with).

It gained me nothing, and it set my parent back quite a bit.

Then I made more friends, got a girlfriend and voila, all my problems/issues/whatever were suddenly put in proper context and what do you know? Life was still quite imperfect yet still good.

Just answer this: what happily married (or dating bachelor) EVER concerns himself with these ideas? Heck just anyone with real friends for that matter. It always is some loser/loner/weird fella who is simply driving himself crazy due to sheer loneliness (think Taxi Driver).

It's like staring at clouds or the rain: if you do it long enough uninterrupted, trust me you'll start seeing some weird stuff there.

Same as spending too much time with such questions.

OP is part of growing form of post-modern fascism that relies on the so-called "social skills". A system of values/fallacies that drowned people into mediocrity by making us pay constant atention to irrational aspects like sexual frustration and materilistic vanity, and ultimately rewards manipulative psychopaths as apex predators, making everyone else comfortable whit it because "at least I got laid". Also he must be a world class troll so I won't reply, I just want everyone else to think about it.

So you just distracted yourself?
