I find it very interesting that the term 'doomer' is a thing now. [View all]

Some of us were born this way. It is called 'depression'. There is nothing new about it.

Hell, there are times when I am sure my life was over the moment I came out. Based on where I am now, I'd say it was prescience, not being a 'doomer'.

So I guess the question is: 'Doomer', depression, or just a decided awareness of reality?

I guess we will find out. Assuming that I survive to see it.
