Anon gets a GF.

Unfortunately, a lot of assholes like someone to punch down on or someone to look at and say "haha, I'm glad that's not me!" When people with disabilities or mental illness actually work their way up, then losers are forced to reflect on how they've achieved nothing despite being perfectly able. Instead of doing that, they'd rather continue to punch down and put others back "in their place". I've seen it happen in real time before in a large online group chat with a dude who was hyper autistic and developmentally disabled. Everyone loved laughing at him and because of that, they pretended to like him. When he got therapy, a girlfriend, and a physics degree, everyone in the chat (who had none of the above) was intentionally trying to push him back to the mental state he was in before. Moral of the story being: some people will always wanna see you fail if it makes them feel better about themselves. Use the naysayers as motivation to prove them wrong. Because they are wrong.
