By the way, how do I know you're being genuine? I see how you've upvoted the comments that were bashing me.

Why bother talking to anyone? I do attend a church, but I'm painfully shy and introverted, and also on the spectrum. I know almost nobody there. I've tried Christian counseling dozens of times. Nothing has ever worked.

https://www.amazon.com/So-Youve-Been-Publicly-Shamed/dp/1594634017 Everyone, look up this book to see what I'm talking about.

Problem is, I have no one else to talk to about any of my problems. No one. Not my family, and certainly no friends. And I have gone out of my way to try and make friends for years. And yet, the stupid things I post online will stay there forever and will likely cost me future job opportunities...

People, no matter what I say about myself, you just assume you know me. I tell you I try to do things a certain way, only for you to tell me I'm self-righteous. I try to give you all advice, but then you tell me I have no business doing so. You've put me in a situation I where I can't win. Do...

My sentiments exactly.

How about instead of a biased religious site, look for multiple studies from multiple resources.

I'm only asking you to be consistent and condemn all forms of violent media. I never said I know everything.

Then why did these two kids in the 1970s read this book by Stephen King about a kid holding his class hostage, and then do the same thing? By the way, after those incidents, King put that book out of print. You know why? He knew it was inspiring people. People can be inspired by anything...

Not to mention the Terminator, Alien, and Predator movies.

Are they? Bonnie and Clyde's ending is one of the most violent I've ever seen. If that scene were in Kill Bill, they'd put it in black and white like they did with half the movie. Again, watch more movies from the 1920s, if you can find them. And don't give me that excuse of "They didn't know...

No. Back then kids would go out into racist riots and gang violence.

Back in the 1980s the PG rating actually meant something. A lot of PG-rated movies from back then would be PG-13 today.

Oh movies back then were way more violent. Bonnie and Clyde. The Godfather. Red Dawn. Die Hard. Have you looked at any movies from the 1920s? They're more graphic and violent than a lot of mainstream stuff today. And by the way, there's a difference between gun violence in movies and shooting...

Seriously though, there are some vile people online, people I thought were nice at first. I cut off this one guy when his behavior started getting weird. He started out nice and friendly at first, but in the end, he ended up cussing me out.

Again, you don't know how hard I've tried, and again, you've shown me that you aren't willing to take your own advice. I'd give you advice but then you'll just tell me how I have no business telling you. I'd tell you I at least try, but then you'd just call me self-righteous. See the Catch-22?

As for the video games, there are plenty of men in my life and my family who play first-person shooters and RPGs and games rated M. And you know what? I know these men well enough to know that they'll take a bullet for me. If a shooting were to happen and they were around, they'd wrestle that...

Maybe I don't want to be your friend. Why would I want to be friends with someone who's not willing to take their own advice?

Look up any study on whether video games cause violence, and almost all of them do not agree with you. I grew up with a third-person shooter, and I turned out fine (mostly).

Sure, sure. It's not like people are three-dimensional beings with complex personalities and struggles that others either don't have or can't relate to.
