Sadly, I know the feeling you talk about. And it sucks massively.

[myonlylight.livejournal.com]

I can totally relate to this. That feeling sucks, and I hope you can work through it.

[helenadax.livejournal.com]

I have the same problem. And even if I understand why reading some things upsets me so much, I still can't read them :(

[hikari87.livejournal.com]

This is mildly unsettling, inasmuch as it reads exactly like something I could have written. I think I may even have passages like this in my old diaries somewhere. I hope you get out of your situation...getting out of mine was insanely hard and took a very long time, I hope you can manage to get out of yours easier than I did. I still have trouble reading that kind of book though.

[iambic5.livejournal.com]

Oh god, OP, you just made me realize why I hate grim, darker-and-edgier, crapsack-world sorts of stories so much. I totally feel you, augh. *all the hugs*

[malik-chan.livejournal.com]

OP, you gave me a fic idea... thank you.

[xenafox.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I like those stories either :/

[kleine-aster.livejournal.com]

Because there is hardly a feeling in the entire world that's worse than despair. Your feelings are completely understandable, OP. A lot of people have been there (me included), and I can just say I keep my fingers crossed that things'll be looking up for you.

[rtydmartel.livejournal.com]

I have the EXACT SAME CRITERIA for stories. It doesn't matter how ugly it gets as long as it feels like things will work out in the end (and, uh, you know, as long as they do work out in the end). I didn't realize until now that hopelessness and 'being trapped' especifically were the things that turned me away, thanks for pointing it out. :D I don't feel trapped in my life, though, thankfully.

[anivad.livejournal.com]

...that describes the bulk of stories I write.
I have the same problem in life, but I find it cathartic instead.

[lesbido.livejournal.com]

That's all you hope for? I hope you get out of that situation in which you feel trapped.

[von_gelmini.livejournal.com]

and that's exactly why i love stories like that. my life has been one unwinnable situation after another. so stories where everything eventually works out in the end come off as completely unrealistic to me. that being said, i love a romantic HEA after much struggle, just not a world-view HEA. i.e. the lovers wind up together forever, but the world around them still sucks.

[urplesquirrel.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, OP, are you me? I feel exactly the same way. I can handle any sort of dark, awful, depressing situation as long as there's a happy ending or at least a chance for a happy ending. But if the situation is hopeless, I just can't read/watch it.

[(Anonymous)]

Holy shit. You've perfectly described the situation which squicks me out beyond belief. I'd been thinking of how to articulate it, but hadn't managed too well...

[(Anonymous)]

Existential despair is a horrible feeling. You are not alone with this, anon. It has occupied the thoughts of many individuals throughout the centuries - Munch, Dostoevsky, Camus, Kafka, Sartre, Beauvoir, Beckett, to name a few whose works might pique your interest. Exploring their works have helped me come to terms with some of my own dealings; I hope that it'll help you as well.

& I totally get your tastes. Why can't I ever quit you, McCarthy? :((
