  • No they don’t conflict; they’re symbiotic.

    The “American dream” was dreamed up by rich capitalists to encourage poorer people to work harder, longer hours, and to do so with as little grumbling as possible. Couple it with the “rite of passage” mentality - i.e. working super shitty conditions because everyone else had to do the same - then it’s the perfect indoctrination needed to convince people that their hardships are their own failures and not the system’s.

    Another, simpler, way to look at it is that the “American Dream” is a carrot on a very long stick that is dangled in front of us to encourage us to move forward with their capitalist agenda while making us think we’re getting a reward for our labor.
















  • I’m a very lonely person so this is very hard for me to do. I like having people around and not in a selfish way, I do care for people, but I don’t do good when I don’t have someone to lean on.

    This is a difficult trait to manage. I fall into this category too, and I have to keep reminding myself that it’s worth the wait to find the right person; something you should take the time to figure out for yourself before jumping into your next relationship.

    Don’t forget that you’re stronger than you think. Don’t let the loneliness trick you into doing something you’ll regret. And good luck!
