Yes, I talk to him regularly. He visited me recently too. I wish I understood him better, I kinda get where he is coming from but I don't get why he is so extreme. He seems content for the most part but sometimes he tells me he wants to kill himself or wishes he'd just die. That's hard to hear. I don't know where that intense pain comes from and I don't know how to help him in that way.
I don't know that he will ever have a normal future since he rejects basically all the ideas of society. I mean, if he's happy as a traveller then that's ok, he is very smart though and could do better he just rejects the idea of having a job so hard. He constantly makes things harder for himself just to spite the 'system'. I get it, I do that myself sometimes when it's worth it but he doesn't seem to have that gauge that tells him when to quit.
IIN to wonder what the users here look like?
