My Dad assaulted my brother

Today my(20f) sister(19f) told me to come outside the dorm and her boyfriend drove up with her inside and he was driving up back home. Apparently my Dad(41) had hit my Mom(38) and choked my brother(16). I was shocked to hear that I mean him hitting mom is uncommon so while disturbing that isn’t entirely too surprising on its own but choking my brother I did not expect him to go that far. My Dad doesn’t really like my brother but I never actually expected him to hurt him like this.

It was worse than I expected when we came in because when I opened the door I saw 2 cops and my brother talking them. His ear was hurt there was dried blood and his eyes looked a little bloodshot. Apparently what happened was my brother bought a lift up bar for himself and my Dad hid it in my closet my mom confronted him about it telling him how his mom should aborted him and that was when my Dad got physical with her. My brother stepped in and when my Dad told him to leave he said no then he attacked my brother. They were punching each other, my Dad grabbed his hair and held him choking him my brother said he actually thought he was gonna die. He stopped when he heard my mom was calling the police.

I was so disturbed hearing this I can’t believe my Dad went this far. How are you such a pathetic childish piece of shit you act this way and do this to your own son?!! My mom says he’ll be in jail but just for a few days since she doesn’t have a job and after that brother will have to continue living with the man who hurt him until my mom figures something out. My sisters and I tried to be there for my brother and we gave him a group hug. He was saying he was fine just his head hurts then suddenly he cried saying something was wrong and his chest feels bad. My mom had to call an ambulance and my sister went with him to the ambulance. I am so scared honestly why did this have to happen?… I don’t want anything bad happening to my brother

Why does the act of killing strongly affect minds?

Sorry for the odd wording it had to be that way. Now humans are known to be violent creatures we are technically animals after all and animals tend to be violent. Very crude and tragic but a thing of life still though when once commits such an act it tends to change them in different ways regardless if they feel bad about the act or not. How come this is the case?

How do I get out of my head more?

I(20f) see now how being in my head has just brought me misery. I am unhappy with my life but dwelling on it doesn’t truly help things. I’ve been like this since I was a child I often felt alone so I often spent occupying myself with my thoughts my ADHD takes part in it. As the years by the more alone I was the more isolated I felt, and the more isolated I felt the more I just stayed in my head. I’ve often been described as imaginative so I often view things around me and myself in an artistic lense even when the world truly has no meaning. Desperately wanting to be seen but staying in my head those doors are close

I overthink a lot I don’t even know how to feel natural when trying to make friends my head feels frazzled. How do I get out of my head?

How do I become fine with being alone?

I’m a girl and for most of my life I’ve been alone though recently this cements it. A distanced friend who I liked turned me down, my other friends don’t even talk to me, I’m pretty much never gonna be in a relationship and remain a virgin. Constantly I always end up alone it’s not the greatest feeling. I can’t make myself like it but I can at least try to come to neutral terms with it. How do I make myself feel neutral about being alone?

What would you do if you were given Dateviators and living in your house like the game Date Everything!?

In Date Everything! There are magical glasses called Dateviators allow the wearer to acknowledge a Thing’s Existence. What means when you put them on you see them as a humanoid version of the things they represent. That being appliances, concepts, just anything at all. You can form different relationships with them either Love, Friendship or Hate. Not only that when you converse with them enough and your “stats” are high enough you can bring them to life and they become an actual person if that is what you want to happen. However depending on who you bring to lose you may end up losing whatever thing was there in your house. Such as if you were to bring your Tv to life they’ll become a person and you won’t have a tv anymore (unless you replace that).

Also whatever you do don’t take the Dateviators outside because once you do a drone will come near you and take them away.

So what will you do if you have them?

How do I give up desires for relationships?

I’m 20f and I always had a hard time connecting with people. Sure I’ve been making some friends in community college recently but they don’t always stay in contact. I’ve desired love which has only caused me anguish because every time I tried seeking it out it always blew up in my face. I have an online friend who is 1 year older than me and I’ve been talking to him for over a year. I grew a bond with him and he felt the same.

(A few months I came up with the idea of meeting however recently as I asked some questions about the relationship we have with each other I learned we were not on the same wavelength. He likes talking to me but said that he thinks he can’t focus on online things while being engaged irl, he doesn’t want to do long distance and thinks it would be a big thing for me to move and whatnot so he pretty much turned me down. While they’re valid concerns I’m upset about it but not by the fact he turned me down it was that he didn’t do that in the beginning. When I first confessed he could’ve told me no but didn’t. When I first came up with the idea he could’ve said no but didn’t. He could’ve stopped the dynamic we had if knew it was gonna turn out like this. Do I think he did this intentionally? No he wouldn’t do things to hurt me on purpose but I can’t help but feel I’ve been strung along until the last minute plus it’s my fault for not seeing the signs.)

Anyway after that I choose not to feel emotions because what purpose do they actually serve in my life besides misery. Love is not meant for me so I might as well not want it the problem is I don’t know how to do that. Do I have to numb myself more? Getting rid of the desire would give rid of some other pains (like me being a virgin my libido has low because of depression recently and I hope it stays that way) I see that for as long as I live the only person I’ll have is myself and my some part of my mind is having a hard time accepting that. How do I fix it?
