Peace and consideration.
I want to be able to help and make my neighborhood better and feed my family but without the frantic pace. I once had a surgery that put me in the hospital for a few days. Even with the recovery and pain and everything, it remains one of my happiest memories. I was resting, cared for, and looked after. I have none of that in my daily life.
I would like to live in a global society were the worst off person has a decent life. food, housing, medicine, education.
To be able to walk again
For myself: a fulfilling career
For the world: a better society where nobody is struggling to survive
Proper wealth distribution for now and in perpetuity (no billionaires or trillionaires. Apparently my spell-check doesn't recognize the latter as a word, so it's got the right idea.) I'd like global warming to be fixed, AI to disappear, and for people to use critical thinking on a daily basis both for the news they encounter, and to reflect on their own beliefs.
Then once that's accomplished, I'd like to be aged back to my mid-20s so I can have a family. I love kids, but the idea is absolutely unfeasible with the way the world is. Even if things started getting fixed today, it would take years if not decades for everything to settle, and I'd be in the "advanced maternal age" camp with all its risks, or straight up going through menopause before it's all done. Even if I adopted, I'd rather have more youth myself so I can keep up with the kids.
The rich really, truly fucked the world (and shot themselves in the foot) by making it prohibitively expensive for so many of us to survive.
I want the world to stop being run by "the economy"'s rules and its parasite cultists
For things to stop getting worse
Unironically, money//stable income. Being piss poor has resulted a lower experience of life for us, every time we get some money it’s all spent on necessities we neglected for a long time due to not having income. We don’t want to be rich, but we do want to have a stable and reasonable income where we can save up for things we want and spend a reasonable amount on living.
In that sense it would only be reachable for us if we owned our own business, we’ve been thinking of opening a record shop (that also has cool collectibles/comics/etc stuffs) with an online shop and even sell some home made art stuff. Or get really big in our current business with art commissions. Regardless one way or another, there has to be a couch or a day bed where we can lay down for when our chronic pains flare up and we will be slay trans girl behind the counter 💅🏻 lmao.
I want the american tech industry to stop ruining the world.
My health back (post covid syndrome).
I also want that for you, buddy. Stay strong.
Enough money to never work again, be comfortable, and live in isolation, preferably in the woods.
A world in which people with Antisocial Personality Disorders are institutionalized rather than being put in charge of governments and corporations.
I'm pleased to inform you that most people suffering from ASPD have in fact been victimised by the police, and that the politicians and billionaires you're thinking of don't have ASPD.
I know it can feel comforting to have some pseudoscientific explanation of which people are fundamentally good and which people are born evil. But there is no Jewish illuminati, there is no lizard people illuminati, and there is no neurodivergent illuminati. Extreme wealth turns people evil, regardless of what race, religion, or neurotype they were born with.
maybe. but imo extreme wealth hoarding is usually only possible/successful by people with little empathy who exploit others around them
You just described being a bad person. Yes, billionaires are bad people. But being a bad person isn't a mental disorder. That's not what psychiatry is for.
The diagnosis of ASPD came from early psychiatrists working in insane asylums, describing patterns they saw in the patients. Wealthy politicians don't get sent to mental institutions.
The diagnosis of ASPD was invented by doctors who wanted a model to help them improve the lives of their patients. You know, help them emotionally regulate so that they can function in society and get a job, instead of antagonising the police and being put in a prison. Wealthy politicians don't need a doctor to help them with their people skills.
These harmful stereotypes about neurodivergent people happen when we start thinking like Batman writers. When we view mental disorders as a monster manual. Instead of what they really are, which is a model for helping people.
thanks, you're right. using the term ASPD does indeed seem wrong and harmful in this case.
I want my own place. So tired of living with my folks as a 30 something. I just want my own fucking place.
This seems more common in the US - I wonder what the nuance there is to explain this. I doubt people in my country are any more wealthy in relative terms yet pretty much everyone has moved out by the point they're 20. I bought my house at 27 years of age and I had lived in 4 different rental apartments before that. My parents supported me with 50€/week for few years but that's it.
To be gendered correctly without immense effort on my part. I know it's trivial af for cis people, but it steers most of my decision making and how I interact with people. I wish I could just exist and be seen correctly like most everyone else.
I've only ever wanted 3 things in life, the fourth desire came later on.
Stability.
A loving relationship.
A stable, well paying job. (Not looking to be rich, just not relegated to renting illegal shitty apartments.)
My own home.
I'm turning 40 this year and I've gotten 0/4 so far...
Not sure if I have a well paying job or just standards low enough that it pays enough for me..
8 hours of restful sleep.
I am doing everything to get 07:45 (5 REMs + 15m) or 09:15 (6 REMs +15m) a night. I take 15m to fall asleep. Sometimes I wake more refreshed some less, some days I can't sleep because I am not tired even though I exercised and did tons of mental work on the day. It is very weird but still following that guideline helped tremendously
I’d do anything for a full 8 hours of sleep except go to bed early enough to get a full 8 hours of sleep.
Peace of mind I guess. I tend to worry a lot even though I wouldn't need to.
I could list plenty of material things I want but when I get one I just start wanting the next thing. I don't need any of it and I can pretty much buy anything I wish if I so choose to so I'm not deprived of anything I actually need.
Relationship.. maybe. Depends on the day. I'm quite content on my own as well.
Time. Yeah, that's it. I want more time. Much more.
I want Steam Frame to come out and be in stock long enough for me to buy it. I don't even care how much it will cost, although I'd never buy from a scalper.
I've not felt such child-like excitement for a new toy in years.
A fresh start somewhere around ~2-3 years ago with the mental help I needed at that time
Hi me. It's never too late to try. I finally started getting the help I needed, and it was 2 years too late and after I already permanently ruined my chance at something really good that only happens once in a lifetime, but better late than never, right?
The vegetables I grow to get eaten by insects less often. Giving up on kale as it's been stripped bare.
Living a bit closer to the sea would be nice too, it's only a 5 mins bike ride but close to half an hour to walk which is a little awkward if I wanted to take a kayak.
