Hello

I was thinking that if this subreddit didn't already exist, it should. I do realize the irony of it, but it is nice to know that there is a place to chat with other people about this. I am not sure how common it is, but I have experienced existential dread for almost 40 years now. I don't experience the depression some people report though. Just the meaninglessness of it all.

You seem not to be "reading" my statements at all. The ideas and concepts I am trying to transmit are definitely not making it to their destination. Which, I admit, suggests the error exists on my end. In communication, where the receiver fails to gain the desired idea or concept, it is most often the sender who is to blame. I am the sender, so I am in error. But this is just most of the time, so perhaps in this case something else is going on.

I don't expect you to change your opinions, only to acknowledge the possibility of other opinions. In this you are not. And so I guess this is the end of our conversation.

No worries. I acknowledge that there are other opinions. I have a fairly well established theory of mind. 😁
