^yes I should be dead from everything but shame and guilt will be the things that kill an empathetic meth user.
To those trying to deal with track marks and what not - fellas, you're not a real meth head until you carry a make up kit, namely concealer..... Once you know your colour you are at the top of the bottom rung.
The way people your family is disappointed in you and start crying when they look at your meth face has many features in common with mental retardation, because it is in mental retards that we observe overwhelming emotional response for no good reason. Then they say that they care about you and they hate to see you like that. Their problem is, the "you" that they want, you don't want it, and the "like that" that they notice is actually the real you. So they've been caring about the wrong person all along. They're so scared by who you really are, that they want the fake you to take over again. You can only experience true pleasure when you are your pure self 100%, being somebody else is not rewarding even if others like you.
The way we act in society, our good manners, our gestures and polite facial expressions, are all acquired or learned, it is not an expression from within. Sometimes we imitate an actor we saw in a movie, sometimes we use a cool expression our friend used, and when we piece it all together, we get the "sober" you, who is not you, in fact it's someone that has nothing to do with you. The only thing that has to do with you it's the pleasure you feel when you're truly you. Truly you means not smiling, not looking in the eye, not talking to anyone, and being obsessed with that which fuels the fire within. Can you imagine? 20 years of your life you dedicated towards learning not to be yourself. Then you take meth and you forget how not to be yourself. Big problem. Lol.
There is no solution to this, if it's your family, care about them and don't see then when you're on meth, others, just tell them to go fuck themselves seriously. They ask you why you don't smile, if you're ok...fuck you! Give them some pornographic insults. Suck my dick. Tell them all about it. You shouldn't waste time with them, they're not worth it.
