Is there any way to stop being a bitter asshole? Ive been depressed for a long while and finally seem to be coming out of it, or at least coming to understand it better and therefore able to mitigate it when it really starts to act up. But in the process of all of this ive isolated myself from pretty much anyone that I wasnt close to before it, and reject everyone before they can do it to me, and in turn have a pessimistic view of people and am an asshole. So anyone know how not to be?
>inb4 just stop being an asshole.
You dont get what im saying if you think thats good advice
have you tried anti-depressants and therapy?
Stop coming to 4chan and unplug from the internet in general if you can.
Negativity is all the rage online and it takes a serious toll on your subconscious.
Start smiling more and fake being interested in your coworkers and acquaintances bullshit.

No antidepressants, im afraid honestly. And no therapy for many years, I should probably go back.

Yea I know thats probably a good idea, it's too good though, it's the best drug for people afraid to do the real chemicals.

accept that while the world and everyone in it is an inconsequential blip in a cosmic sea of eternal nothingness, you might as well keep trying new things in an attempt push your deepest fears as far back into your mind as possible
