Life is awesome. It doesn't have to suck at all. We live in a golden age. I'm a dirtpoor student and I've got more entertainment laid out before me than could be consumed in a lifetime, nearly all human knowledge laid bare before me, a bitchin roof over my head that's not gonna fall anytime soon, and can support a lifestyle that doesn't require physical excertion and a diet that has me a little pudgy around the edges.
This is the best life has ever been on this planet. Even in lowerclass society my life is luxurious to a degree that exceeds the greatest nobles of old. I possess things that would have been great treasures even fifteen years ago and I treat it as outdated junk. I have access to all the food of the world. I am exposed to the elements to a minimal degree. I have a degree of freedom that in a larger perspective is enviable, and I can choose to partake in all the pursuits in the world that could ever interest me. I live in a city. A section of the planet that we have manually reshaped in our image. The entire world is my oyster and my fate is mine for the choosing so long as I place it within my ability to accomplish.
Life is the best. I'm hardly broken up over the fact that the freedom and unpredictability of other thinking beings prevents me from forging an ideal relationship with only my own will to back it. Life is so awesome that people look at my awesome life and think it's shit just based on the comparison to their own fantastic lives.
Life has to contain contain disappointment. This is unavoidable. There is pain to be found in life. This is also unavoidable. Overall though life's pretty freaking sweet right now. I got pepsi in the fridge.

Okay, well, good for you. Maybe this is more than people who come on a forum to discuss a comic care to know, but my life isn't so great, and I've already shared at least one reason why.

If you head down to the part of the forum called "awkward self-aware makeout zone" you will find a "relationship advice thread" and a "blog thread", where people unburden themselves of their problems and sometimes get sympathy and advice in return. As well as romantic rejection, there are discussions there of parental rejection, persistent illness, suicide of friends, loss of home and identity and more. Some people have found help in the discussions - and I dare say others have not - but what you do get to see there (over time) is that (a) there is nothing new under the sun, and (b) whatever it is, someone else has been there so you are not alone.
If you want to have such a discussion, that would be a better place than this thread - though these days it's much slower than this part of the forums.

I already tried that, but hopefully your version works.

Here's something more light-hearted to change to conversation flow: Play the QC caption game! (I mean if you don't already)
