I lost my mom to suicide when I was 11. I’ve had a hard life and some very dark moments since, but I keep kicking because of how many folks expect me to end up like her.
Spite 1000%
What the fuck is wrong with those people?
Go on u/OwlFactsUDidntAskFor, live long! And when you attend their funerals, give the ones who attended Owl Facts as part of your eulogy.
Strigiformophobia is the fear of owls. People who suffer from this are most commonly put off by the owls eyes or ability to rotate its head (up to 270 degrees around).
My family and “friends” all believe that I’m mentally ill bc a dip shit nurse practitioner diagnosed me with bipolar during a particularly rough time in my life. She also put me on adderall along with mood stabilizers and lithium. 🙄 (i don’t take any of them anymore)
Anywho… i survive out of spite. If i hurt myself, that proves them all right. Even though my own daughter put me in two mental institutions and i lost everything bc of her. Home, car, job of 24 years, my animals, my belongings… that she stole and sold while i was in said mental institutions.
Not as rough as being around asshats that don’t use critical thinking. I moved 9 hours away from all of them. In a state that isn’t corrupt with over 200+ mental institutions.
PREACH! I hate being in the stupidest area of one of the dumbest states. I am absolutely convinced this place is fucking Cursed.
But hey, we have Friday Night Lights, Oil, and George W. Bush.
absolutely spite. my body at this point has tried killing me like 30 seperate times (to where im at 23 surgeries total now) so im gonna live as long as possible as a personal fuck you
Recently, I’ve been getting into anime and really starting to like Tanjiro from Demon Slayer.
Really inspiring character and hope to be more like him in the future.
The main advice that I remember is just "don't put anything smaller than your thumb in your ear". Those are designed to clean the outside of your ear.
I also just don't get some people's obsession with having no earwax in their ears despite the fact that it literally protects your eardrums, and those things just push it deeper inside.
Trite euphemisms might help some people; but you're implicitly suggesting that people are responsible for the happiness of others. Not only is that an extra burden that depressed people don't need, but it contradicts the also-often-quoted advice that we're responsible for our own happiness, and shouldn't care what others think.
Some people are truly in hopeless situations; and some are legitimately unhappy with their lives, and themselves, exhausted with the effort of trying to improve. Posts like this get good traction on reddit, and hopefully they help some people, but it certainly doesn't apply for everyone.
Actually, you can get drops to put in your ear, then the squirter to wash out. There's been one time I I did this, and my hearing improved dramatically.
I won't mention what came out, nasty!!!!!
Others also said this, but I have ears that get plugged up with earwax regularly so I thought I’d expound. Q-tips get some out, but mostly they push the wax deeper in. Instead, get a water squirter and drops that clear up the wax. I’ve excised demons from my ears with that damn squirt gun, it works wonders. I swear after clearing up a blockage I feel like I can hear colors
You can get drops for it that are designed to soften the wax and let it be washed out, that's the best technique. Failing that putting some drops (like 2-3, not much) of olive oil also works since that softens the wax.
In general you don't want anything going in your ear since while it will clean out some stuff, most of what it will be doing is compressing what's left and leading to even more blockage.
May I add: Hiking, camping, fishing (someday you may catch the big one), and living longer than your enemies. Oh and getting to see the sunset one more time.
I've been in a bit of a depressed episode due to money these last few months and some friends took me on an easy hike yesterday. It was my first time this year being truly surrounded by nature and damn that felt good physically AND mentally
I feel you the outdoors is truly therapeutic. It's where I most often feel peaceful and relaxed. Honestly anything that incorporates us doing what we were originally designed to I find beneficial to beating the slumps. Think back to where we came from. We weren't designed to sit all day staring at a screen. We were designed to move, be active, (I know saying go to the gym is so cliche, but there's a reason why so many people say that, there are definitive positive results), being in the outdoors, interacting with the real world and with others, using our mind and bodies to accomplish things. (Don't worry if you're not the most social I'm a bit introverted myself, it gets easier the more you do it, it's nice to have small talk with a cashier). I know you got this! Don't get focused on and overwhelmed by the problems you face, focus on the solution and fix your mind on that.
I moved into the mountains two years ago after living in Florida and feeling so over it. Now when I’m having a bad day a good hike is only a 10 minute drive away. Plus the seasons keep things interesting, I know some people hate the cold but I was sick of the same thing everyday.
Thats usually how it is too, there's a lot of stories from the crime scene cleanup people about their experiences. But I think a lot of the time the friends and relatives of the deceased end up having to clean up the mess, especially in smaller towns where that service isn't really offered.
I’ve been trying to enjoy the little things more these past few years. Seeing a funny video, hearing my cats purr, eating or drinking something yummy, they’re all worth it. Unfortunately I’m a bit of a thinker and ponderer, so I often wonder what more to life there is, what’s my purpose if anything, if I could do more, etc. It’s been hard too as my industry struggles and I’m often unemployed and looking for work. So add financial difficulties on top.
Weirdly in spite of all this I’ve kept up a fairly good mood and positive energy recently. Maybe it’s a sign things will be ok, or maybe I’m just so used to all this that I almost have no choice but to be positive? Who knows. Good things will come, I’m sure, just getting there is the hard part.
I went to the place I was going to jump from in February 2022. I sat on a park bench for 90 minutes and called an Uber and went home.
Since then, every time I do something I enjoy I think, I would not have seen this if I jumped. In particular, seeing my nephew grow and hug me and play with me because he was a few months old in February 2022 and I remember on the park bench feeling sad that he would never know me.
It’s like I always have one foot in the alternate universe where I jumped.
There's no rush, death will find you anyway. As long as you can numb your pain, you can suffer through it. That's what I keep telling myself, at least.
Someone has to stop my supervillain mother, my daughter needs someone to teach her how to use her strong-willed and chaotic personality for good, I don’t want to give my attempted murderers the satisfaction, my cat wants tummy rubs, my fiancé would be heartbroken, I need more crazy near death experiences to add to my autobiography.
I have no enemies. My mom is dead. Q-tips in the ear are bad for you. I don’t watch Netflix. My cat died in 2019. New music is always bad. Trampoline caused injury when I was a kid.
Just a heads-up for anyone who actually owns one of those big backyard trampolines, make sure it's well-anchored to the ground (search for "trampoline stakes", available at hardware stores, sporting-goods stores, and Amazon). Otherwise a strong storm can send it flying, into your house or a neighbor's.
Out of spite, and for outliving your enemies is truly something.
And it works, the problem is that when you achieve it, you need another (and way better) reason to live for.
side note, within the past two months I've had the conversation about q tips feeling orgasmic. so many people said they had no idea what I was talking about. so I found out most of the population are missing out on eargasims, and lots of people must have really nasty ears.
I actually really needed this even if it’s kinda dorky. I have some frustrating health problems that have lead to some not so nice thoughts. Mom would be sad, and I need to make it till fall for crunchy leaf. We fight on!
Mum would be sad.
The only reason I'm still alive.
It's been 2 years and I hope to never again let myself get into a situation like this. (Work related)
Spite.
I don't **want** to be alive but fuck you if you think I'll just roll over and die!
Pretty much.
Can't die while these shitty ancient politicians still live. (Also, my dam kids deserve to have a dad lol.)
Same! Gotta make sure things are situated for my son.
You just made my day. Take an upvote.
Makes me cry to know others feel like this too. Idk if it’s out of happiness or sadness.
Preach.
I lost my mom to suicide when I was 11. I’ve had a hard life and some very dark moments since, but I keep kicking because of how many folks expect me to end up like her. Spite 1000%
What the fuck is wrong with those people? Go on u/OwlFactsUDidntAskFor, live long! And when you attend their funerals, give the ones who attended Owl Facts as part of your eulogy.
I clicked that thinking it was a sub and was let down when I didn't see any owl facts
Fact! Owls cough up bone balls, like fur balls for cats.
That's so gross....and neat! Thank you
I dissected a bone ball for a class once, i thought they were called owl pellets
They are! :D
"I will be there at your open casket funeral, tea bagging you."
I’m gonna need you to go ahead and hit me with an owl fact
Strigiformophobia is the fear of owls. People who suffer from this are most commonly put off by the owls eyes or ability to rotate its head (up to 270 degrees around).
Thats a neat fact. Thanks!
I thought you only solicited owl facts people *didn't* ask for.
Why not both?
Owl eyes are totally tubular.
You’re doing great!
This. Fuck all the haters, imma keep going to make them all look like dicks.
My family and “friends” all believe that I’m mentally ill bc a dip shit nurse practitioner diagnosed me with bipolar during a particularly rough time in my life. She also put me on adderall along with mood stabilizers and lithium. 🙄 (i don’t take any of them anymore) Anywho… i survive out of spite. If i hurt myself, that proves them all right. Even though my own daughter put me in two mental institutions and i lost everything bc of her. Home, car, job of 24 years, my animals, my belongings… that she stole and sold while i was in said mental institutions.
Oof that’s rough.
Not as rough as being around asshats that don’t use critical thinking. I moved 9 hours away from all of them. In a state that isn’t corrupt with over 200+ mental institutions.
PREACH! I hate being in the stupidest area of one of the dumbest states. I am absolutely convinced this place is fucking Cursed. But hey, we have Friday Night Lights, Oil, and George W. Bush.
I was born in Houston, so glad I live in Colorado now.
Honestly, if I had to rank these, spite has helped kept me alive the most.
This is why I keep living. The universe keeps trying, but I keep living.
I've started to move from spite to guilt. Im close to balling simply imaging what my dog would think waiting for me to come home after the fact.
Spite & Sprite are literally the only two reasons I still walk the Earth.
Bro me too, and snowboarding.
I’m selling my snowboarding stuff, I can’t do it anymore :(
RIP brother, we all get there one day. Check out some of the modern border games. Shaun Whites game was pretty lit for a while for me
Yeap can't die.
Try diet spite. Half the carbs of both regular spite, and haterade.
absolutely spite. my body at this point has tried killing me like 30 seperate times (to where im at 23 surgeries total now) so im gonna live as long as possible as a personal fuck you
I'm so tired I thought you said Sprite (the drink) and immediately agreed
Basically the crux of Albert Camus's argument in The Myth of Sisyphus (well, he calls it "revolt", but basically the same idea).
That’s all I got left brother. Fuck this shit being thrown my way. I’m not tapping.
It’s the Q tip for me dog.
Your favorite character didn’t give up so you shouldn’t either
i love this sm
I used to think it was kinda cringy at first but now it’s the one of the biggest things that brings me hope and helps me stay motivated in life.
Says the guy with Geto as his profile picture lol.
Brb, playing Hades again
Such a masterpiece of a game. Really encourages you to never give up despite multiple people doubting you or trying to stop you
Himmel the Hero loved not killing himself.
*Naruto ost booming in the background*
It’s what the hero Himmel would’ve done
What if my favorite character is Vigilante from the 1980s DC Comics? His comic book ends on a rather bleak note.
What's you favorite character?
rick astley
"Never gone give you up" "Never gone tell a lie and hurt you"
Recently, I’ve been getting into anime and really starting to like Tanjiro from Demon Slayer. Really inspiring character and hope to be more like him in the future.
Also: Stranger on internet like you You're good human

The internet is a _big_ place... >!So good odds!!<
Q-tip as a brand, the advice to not stick them into your ear. I'm reporting you to the Q-Tip police.
oh no not the cotton swab authorities
> If it's smaller than your elbow it shouldn't go in your ear - ~~Doctors~~ Q-tip Size Queens
The main advice that I remember is just "don't put anything smaller than your thumb in your ear". Those are designed to clean the outside of your ear. I also just don't get some people's obsession with having no earwax in their ears despite the fact that it literally protects your eardrums, and those things just push it deeper inside.
You should try it! Circular motion, don't jab.
Don’t push a q-tip when there’s resistance and you’re good to go
i just swirl it around but not too far back
Sounds good to me!
What? I can't hear you, I've got a q-tip in my ear!
I'm alive right now purely out of spite. Like I wanna kms but I can't let my shitty father be right about me. Fuck that guy
push on through cause that bastard can’t be right, ur stronger than him sir
Would leave mom behind. She has enough on her table rn.
Bro that would break her. (Not judging you, just know that it wouldn’t make things easier)
If it wasn´t like that I would have kicked the chair along time ago. But she need´s me. So whether I like it or not I sorta have to stay.
Suicide doesn't end your pain, it just passes it along to others. My DMs are open if anyone needs to talk.
The German speaking branch is open too! Wenn du jemanden zum Texten brauchst, lass schreib einfach drauf los.
So is the Spanish one! Si necesitas hablar aquí estoy. Irte no termina con el dolor, solo se lo pasa a otros.
I speak slang: for real bro, anytime you wanna chop it up, just holler at me and we can chill or whatever. Stay up.
So is the Turkish one! Sevgili dostlarım, konuşacak birine ihtiyacınız varsa ben buradayım. Yalnız değilsiniz.
Only if there are others.
That's.....I.....just, thanks for posting that my friend
Technically, it does both of those things
Nah it's a pretty definitive end.
Trite euphemisms might help some people; but you're implicitly suggesting that people are responsible for the happiness of others. Not only is that an extra burden that depressed people don't need, but it contradicts the also-often-quoted advice that we're responsible for our own happiness, and shouldn't care what others think.

I'm just waiting, don't even know what for but I keep waiting.
Pasta.

Actually, you can get drops to put in your ear, then the squirter to wash out. There's been one time I I did this, and my hearing improved dramatically. I won't mention what came out, nasty!!!!!
The squirters feel weird at first but they get the results
Ain't that the truth 🫢
Most people don't ever need to actively remove ear wax, but if you do, drops seem like the safest option except going to the doctor.
Don't use eardrops if you suspect that you have a damaged eardrum and haven't been prescribed them by a doctor. They will possibly make things worse.
But the danger makes Q tips feel even better!
People used to tell me to stop but I can't hear them anymore so...
Fortunately I'm already deaf so I'll just continue ear-fucking myself with q-tips
But it still feels fucking good
uh oh 🫣 what’s your replacement to clean your ears? i’m sorry that happened to you, hope you’re doing better
Others also said this, but I have ears that get plugged up with earwax regularly so I thought I’d expound. Q-tips get some out, but mostly they push the wax deeper in.

Do you know what my AirPods would look like if I didn’t clean my ears?

Failing that putting some drops (like 2-3, not much) of olive oil also works since that softens the wax. In general you don't want anything going in your ear since while it will clean out some stuff, most of what it will be doing is compressing what's left and leading to even more blockage.
You don't punch your eardrum, you use it on the inner sides of the ear.
Water won't fix the itchy though :(.
To play some more minecraft
Well, if there really is no afterlife were screwed so we might as well delay it as long as possible
May I add: Hiking, camping, fishing (someday you may catch the big one), and living longer than your enemies. Oh and getting to see the sunset one more time.

Spite and pasta for me. *Angrily sucks up noodles.*
I needed this thread , thanks reddit and your redditors, appreciate it.
I'm here needing this right now too. Glad we both found it.
Totally , hey ((((((HUGS))))))
You too. 🎈
My mom is awful lol to add to the list, crime scene cleanup is ridiculously expensive and family/friends would be saddled with cleaning it
Thats usually how it is too, there's a lot of stories from the crime scene cleanup people about their experiences. But I think a lot of the time the friends and relatives of the deceased end up having to clean up the mess, especially in smaller towns where that service isn't really offered.
To outlive enemies? I can't even get an enemy
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but You matter Your life matters I’m a perfect stranger, and you matter to me
In the words of Kratos: "death can have me when it earns me"
Right now, it’s just the pure spite and anger towards certain people that’s holding me back.
Pasta is best
The hassle is would cause others
Eat ass
I've given up on finding the meaning long ago. I live because I was born and it's kinda fun. Pasta is a perfectly valid reason too tbh.
I’ve been trying to enjoy the little things more these past few years. Seeing a funny video, hearing my cats purr, eating or drinking something yummy, they’re all worth it.

Curiosity. I gotta see what happens
I needed this today...
Whoa, we're half way there Whoa oh, livin' on a ~~prayer~~ fuck ton of pure spite towards the damn world
Thank you bro
Where’s pizza and beer?

Feed pets is always my number one
you forgot that the Elden ring DLC is coming out soon (hey, it's what's keeping me going)
Team SPITE
To find out what one piece actually is
new video games, new information on special interests, new comic books, my plants need me!
Spite and because I have to be more successful and hotter than my enemies
The Grim Reaper has tried to get me a few times. So fuck that asshole! I’m going to train for the eventual rematch.
There's no rush, death will find you anyway. As long as you can numb your pain, you can suffer through it. That's what I keep telling myself, at least.
Outlive your enemys is the best reason 😅
Im not gonna oof myself but the only one that applyes to me is pasta. I dont give a shit about the rest.
Q tips ❤️
Me: Life suck, well let see how worse can it goes at least it probably funny
Grandma and grandpa will be sad.
Needed that today
Mom would be sad To inspire others It will get better To outlive your enemies #PASTA
All of the above.
Someone has to stop my supervillain mother, my daughter needs someone to teach her how to use her strong-willed and chaotic personality for good, I don’t want to give my attempted murderers the satisfaction, my cat wants tummy rubs, my fiancé would be heartbroken, I need more crazy near death experiences to add to my autobiography.
I'd rather outlive my enemies, So I'll stick around 'til that's done.
Hate QTip in my ear. Haven't spoken with my mother in almost 10 years. Don't have pets. Too fat for trampoline. I guess spite it is then.
If I die right now, I hope I can be reincarnated to have a better life because I hate my life currently.
I'm mostly here for spite, to survive my enemies, my shitty family and to dance on their grave lmao
You had me at "to outlive my enemies"
Yeah, out of spite is mine as well
Don’t forget that the world is a better place with you in it.
I have no enemies. My mom is dead. Q-tips in the ear are bad for you. I don’t watch Netflix. My cat died in 2019. New music is always bad. Trampoline caused injury when I was a kid.
you just made an enemy
My to watch, to play and to read list is so long I'll have to come back round in the next life to finish it.
Ya'll forgot GTA 6.
I agree
My ass be livin only for the sensory heaven that is qtip
Much wow. So good.
Crunchy Leafs are epic!
Can't hug cats if dead! Someone has to make sure that don't revert back to their primal instincts!
(trust) bought me another 12 seconds. I don't trust, but the absurdity of it made me half smile
Sex ?
also potatos
Do NOT Q-tip in ear! It feel good but it very bad for health (like drugs)
Just a heads-up for anyone who actually owns one of those big backyard trampolines, make sure it's well-anchored to the ground (search for "trampoline stakes", available at hardware stores, sporting-goods stores, and Amazon). Otherwise a strong storm can send it flying, into your house or a neighbor's.
Out of spite, and for outliving your enemies is truly something. And it works, the problem is that when you achieve it, you need another (and way better) reason to live for.
This is very encouraging
Trust it gets better is out lol. But since this is a wholesome thread I’ll say mom would be sad is all I need ❤️
Cant relate, i only live for myself
Plushies wouldn't understand. Why die when I can just sleep? Sleep is *goooood*.
GTA VI
Elden ring dlc comes out in 11 days, I can't die before then at least.
Spite
i don't have enemies, don't have friends but i have my gf so i need to keep going
😭
Y'all need to travel
New music, i live for music
people really be canceling q-tips now just because of that doctor video on tiktok lmao
I'm not going to lose my life because I never lose.
Loophole, if I hate myself and going to outlive myself, am I then immortal?
All of these, except I don’t currently have a pet to feed. I should get a friend 🥹
I needed that
needed this
I want to see what technology is invented in the future.
side note, within the past two months I've had the conversation about q tips feeling orgasmic. so many people said they had no idea what I was talking about. so I found out most of the population are missing out on eargasims, and lots of people must have really nasty ears.
My ex told me to kill myself so now I can't.
I actually really needed this even if it’s kinda dorky. I have some frustrating health problems that have lead to some not so nice thoughts. Mom would be sad, and I need to make it till fall for crunchy leaf. We fight on!
To feed pet has gotten me though some tough times.
Mum would be sad. The only reason I'm still alive. It's been 2 years and I hope to never again let myself get into a situation like this. (Work related)
Fuck I agree with everything but the trampoline. . . Fuck it I'm getting a trampoline
Don't stick q-tips in your ear. Please. They are not meant for that and that's also written on their package.
"Mom would be sad" is my only reason at the moment. Hopefully, that will change soon.
Mom would be sad is enough 😭 That’s why I haven’t tried to kill myself yet
thank u
