Okay, but I didn't say pain. Is body pain the only thing that makes you experience suffering?

It's like I'm there in the room.

Being excluded from culture when you feel like the same person you always were. At some point in your life, every TV commercial, every new service, every trending product will be aimed right at you. And then you'll age out of the marketer's target bracket, and suddenly the party is over and you might as well be dead.

It doesn't sound like a big deal because all that stuff is bullshit anyway, except our entire human culture has been replaced with a synthetic one, and everyone embedded in it takes the cue and treats you the same.

The experiences of animals are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own.

A five year old has never heard of a phone book, let alone seen one. You've just expanded the problem without solving it.

Absolutely, yes.

"getting back at someone" and fantasies about same never leads to healing, which is what you ultimately need. in fact it usually makes things a LOT worse.

A human buying antiperspirant is like Superman buying kryptonite. Sweating is one of our biggest super powers. Learn to love it. Shower before you work out, and you won't stink.

Sorry, this is more about some of the comments than OP, who never mentioned stinking.

I just wear my synthetic workout clothes into the shower every day, hang them up, and I get several uses out of them before they start to smell and need to get properly laundered. Synthetic dries quickly, there's no reason not to just give it a rinse every time you use it. Other than starting to smell faster, it's vastly superior in performance to hydrophilic fibers like cotton. Only thing better is wool, but that requires cruelty, violence, and other abuses of vulnerable individuals.

working out in cotton is hell

I have done this exact thing, you don't notice until three months later.
