However, here's the reality luke, except for you, everyone else here thinks you're a ****ing loser.
A lot of people have tons of respect for Luke, and I'm one of them.
This isn't so much about proving your statement technically wrong, which is was. This is more about questioning why you define him as a loser. Are you a loser? Think about that one carefully. I know you're trying to goad him to action, to "disillusion him" through meanness, to show him your reality which is extremely harsh.
I think your heart is in the right place, and I think your methods are pretty messed up. They do not show YOU to respect yourself.
If you were a huge winner in life, you would not need to bring other people down. Not at all. You would realize that trying to make people feel down is selfish, trying to get others to share misery.
Be a happy person. Be better than this.
Also, your posts are not showing a strong understanding of what it means to win at the game of life. The game of life is not to have sex a lot, it's to be happy. I know lots of guys who have lots of sex, and they're miserable. They are losing the game of life. And despite their infinite despair, you would think they are winning. I call on you to question a belief that would have you define some people who are miserable as losers.
Other guys aren't having any sex at all and are immensely happy. Yet to you they could be defined as losers. Yet they are winning.
Then there are guys who are having a lot of sex and are incredibly happy. These guys are winners. Not because of the sex or the success with women. They're winners because they're happy. They're winning just as much as the guys who aren't having sex who are happy. As long as they're just as happy, they're winning equally.
Are you happy?
Luke is right. Sex is not hard to come by. It is not hard to find. Happiness is hard to find. Lasting happiness is the goal of life.
If Luke is happy living with his mom, that doesn't make him a loser. That makes him a winner, because he's happy. I don't know if he's truly happy or not. My only point is that you didn't even bother to
ask.
Your posts do not show a person who is winning the game of life. It shows a person who is focusing their self-hatred on another person. I think that if you were at peace with yourself, and fully satisfied with your life, your song would change. You would not need to try to make Luke feel bad.
I'm sure Luke isn't perfectly happy. And he has a lot to learn about communicating openly, especially about his own anxiety. He needs to learn that it's ok to tell people when he feels nervous. Maybe it would help to put some distance between him and mom, so he could find the self he needs to communicate.
None of this makes him a loser. None of this means he should feel bad. If he is half as satisfied with his choices and life as he sounds, he is not living like a loser. He is actually a self-aware, conscientious, thoughtful person who seems to feel a profound loneliness. But who is doing something about it now, and so he's a winner.
None of these things make him a loser. Nothing you have done makes you a loser. Luke seems to be doing very well for where he began. He will find his way. And so will you. I suggest focus on bringing him up, supporting him. I don't think insults help anybody, even you.
