No, this is a social interaction where you act out.

Like I said, you're not unique, you're a textbook entry.

Do you think letters don't count? Phone calls? Leaflets? Flyers? That somehow Reddit is different from 15 years of the Internet as a whole, or e-mail and usenet and message boards and social media?

Reddit, and the Internet as a whole, is just a new chapter in how human beings communicate with each other.

I'm sorry it's heavy, but it's true.

And like I said don't take my word for it: go to another professional. Go see what they think.

I'm sorry, I really am, that you're where you are. I truly believe that you can turn it around, because I've never met a human being who couldn't when given access to the proper tools and the proper care. But what you're doing isn't healthy, it's textbook acting out, and it's a sign of bigger things. And no one does this in a vacuum, especially to the degree you have.

It's what I say to everyone in your position that I've met: You don't have to be a stereotype. You don't have to be a statistic, you don't have to be just another example. You can be your own man, your own human being. You can be better.
