Dear @HardcoreAnnLanders,
Life has been rough for me in recent years. I've had many friends inexplicably off themselves for no reason. They leave my place wearing a jaunty vest to never come back. I started wondering if it had something to do with me? Am I driving them to the point of not wanting to live any more? Makes one start feeling very insecure about his behavior and interaction with others.
That's just my personal life. Work has been no picnic. Some of my competitors have found ways to steal business from me. One of the worst offenders is @"Yousef_#1UberDriver" and I can't seem to one-up him.
I just want to find happiness at home and success at work.
Any advice would be welcome.
Signed,

Dear SHIT,
I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your friends to suicide. It’s a public health crisis that is terrorizing the world, especially in the West. To lose someone you care about in that way makes it feel like a bomb has gone off, and your world is obliterated.

We can never know why so many great guys take their lives. Maybe they felt uncomfortable with their sexuality. Who’s to say?
What’s important is to stop thinking so much about external things, and turn your attention inward. For example, maybe stop being such a shitty driver. By focusing on things that under your control you’ll not only find a renewed sense of self worth, but also maybe get the success at work you desire.
