There is no escaping it; I'm a loser. In fact, my memoir is called American Loser, and it is here on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HQSO9RO In America (at least), white males are supposed to be successful. They aren't discriminated against; women and minorities are. As I've documented here, it is very difficult to be a loser in this society, where winners are always rubbing it into the faces of losers like me. Turn on the TV, and you'll see plenty of them: successful TV personalities, actors, athletes, entrepreneurs, etc.
I write eBooks, and nobody cares. The last one really hurts. I think it is very funny. I got the idea to tweet jokes from it: trying to attract attention to it. No one has bought it. It's a failure, and so am I. Lots of people don't want to read. I use the library a lot. People very rarely put holds on books; I'm virtually always able to renew them. People put holds on DVDs, because most humans want them more than books. And I've read some great books lately. Though they weren't new. Maybe I'd have had trouble renewing them if I took them out when they were new.
I am a loser. There's no separation. I'm not reading, or watching, the story of a loser. I am living that story. It's not fun. Much has been written here about what it's like to live the life of a loser: shitty, boring menial jobs, living in apartments instead of houses (and having to hear your neighbors as a result), not having much money, and being alone, because it's harder to attract women.
Lack of money means a lot of things. It means I'm less likely to treat my depression and OCD with medication, because it is so expensive in this country that has mastered greed. And, yes, my mental issues are untreated, and it has been that way for far too long. It also means I'm less likely to have a pet (I don't.), because of the extra cost involved (Pets aren't allowed in my apartment complex anyway; not having a house means less freedom). And dogs make me happy; I know they do. It means that my home is depressingly messy, because I hate cleaning. I'd pay someone to clean it if I could afford to. There are all sorts of safety features that other people have on their cars. They are less likely to get into an accident, and they will be protected better than someone like me in the event that they are involved in an accident. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to live the life of a loser.
