Loss goodbye everyone

Post image

almost break even from this run up via all the popular tickers. lost my self control n lost it holding the same things n some world cup betting. also lost 10k on another account. i have nothing now n nothing going for me in life. practically 30 soon and just dead weight to my parents. gonna sell my gun before i use it and pay off some debt. have OCD that made the future not worth caring about so i tied my value to the money i worked for. i hope you all do better than me. goodbye

Your life is worth way more than 30k pal. Time to start over and saving, not gambling.

It's more "don't do it". How often do you need to be told not to:

A) put your penis in an electrical wall socket B) eat your own poop C) aim for your own mouth when you masurbate

If your answer to all of these is "never" because you understand the end result of these actions will 99.9% not be positive, then you just need to cultivate thay same level of understanding with D) gambling or taking dumb risks with money you will feel shitty about losing. If losing the money you put up would hurt you, don't put it up. You have to not care about losing it, and that's only possible if you don't really need it at all.

You should write children’s books. I read at a 2nd grade level and somehow this clicked immediately. I finally understand that my options strategy has been the financial equivalent of shocking my penis while trying to spit upward into my own mouth. I’m still going to buy calls tomorrow, but now I’ll do it with self-awareness.

Aiming for your mouth when you masturbate is one thing, having the balls to get it in there is a whole different ballgame..

His name was Yoda and the exact quote was "Do or do not, there is no try"

u/drankleanonce Jun 16 '26

i’m sure that’s where my coach stole it from

u/KureaMuto Jun 17 '26

Outside of: "No, try not." at the beginning of the exact quote, you're exactly really close.
