Therapy is much more than just bitching about your problems, and I'm afraid that if you think that whining on Hacker News is going to do anything to help you, then you're either deluded or stupid.

I also don't know what "you types" means? My parents were super against therapy and wouldn't let me go to a therapist or psychiatrist. I sought it out when I was 26 years old.

I think what's sad is to find a long post about being ripped off by a startup and then using it extremely tangentially as an excuse to try and tell everyone to feel bad for you. "Woe is me, I would try to do something to improve my life but alas all I can muster is typing on a keyboard to a bunch of uncaring strangers on an internet forum full of software engineers."

I don't really know what I should be "aware" of; I stand by that you should consider seeing a therapist, because clearly you are dealing with some stuff that is far beyond the scope of what you're going to get on Hacker news.

I probably am mentally deprived in some way, but at least I'm self aware enough to actually try and improve my life instead of, you know, bitching about how the world is rigged against me.

Also, I find it telling and cowardly that you keep making throwaway accounts instead of owning your opinions. I can't say that I think you really stand by your convictions.

I run a business retard, and am doing as well as I can considering SF’s cost of living.

You’re an idiot at best. Say hi to your mom for me.

Gotta admit that I do like the name "tomtard", I might steal that.

Yes, I'm the idiot in this conversation. Clearly the pinnacle of intelligence is someone going on Hacker News and interjecting a weird thing about how no one cares about them and how the world is rigged against them.

The problem is that I'm so stupid that I didn't realize the immense genius of such a maneuver, and as such the shear magnitude and girth of your intelligence went over my tiny head. Some day I hope to have even 1% of your giant brain and maybe then I will have the intelligence to bitch to strangers about how the world hates me and that therapy is stupid, but alas I fear I am not ready for that yet.

Oh by the way, it's still cowardly to keep making throwaway accounts because you're too much of a wuss to actually own what you say.

It is rigged, and everyone knows it.

Ivy League is supposed to be the “pinnacle of intelligence” but it produces only fraudsters and hacks.

Talentless idiot retards like yourself who can’t wipe their own ass without their mommy.

I didn't go to an Ivy League school. I was a college dropout (dropping out from a perfectly-fine-but-not-remarkable state school) for the first decade of my career, and my degree now is from WGU, hardly some elite fancy school.

I assure you I can wipe my own ass without my mom's help, and I haven't needed any financial help since that episode where I asked her to call in a credit card so they could do the pre-bill at the hotel, which again didn't actually cost any money.

You are really stretching this because you really want to be a victim and you really want to paint me into some yuppie trust fund kid, when that simply isn't the case. Sorry, life is more complicated than stereotypes you saw on television as a child.

Everyone knows it's rigged, but the amazing part from your comments is that it's rigged specifically against you. You said as much in your first reply. That's amazing. You're a very special person, the entire world has conspired to specifically make your life bad.

I may be an idiot, but at least I'm not a coward like yourself.
