As a human individual I do not want to be a tool.
I do not want to be used as a tool.
I do not even want to think that I could be any tool.

Isn't it enough to ask what UNIX tools you like to use or create?

The party zone is Reddit as it has been referenced.
And yes thanks for naming me a "pooper". That does say more about you than about me.

Someone must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed today...
"Party pooper" is a fixed term:
https://www.collinsdictionary.com/de/worterbuch/englisch/party-pooper says:
"You describe someone as a party pooper when you think that they spoil other people's fun and their enjoyment of something."
I think that hits the nail on the head.

Your language. Your mindset. Your problem.

Maybe swapon(8) helps to get rid of these pesky thoughts and free your mind.

you always forget that I'm a psychologist and only secondly I have the hobby of the system administration.

I'm a psychologist . Yes,a psychologist who likes to make something for which he hasn't been trained.

And in https://forums.FreeBSD.org/threads/...hatever-else-kind-of-device.91781/post-636937 "I'm a doctor in psychology,not a magician."

If you not only claim to be a psychologist, you should know what to do.
If not start reading there

Identity crisis - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Do not want to be something else. Just be who you are. If not certain look in the mirror of your bathroom and take a shower molto freddo.

I want only remind you that the self diagnosis and self treatment does not work. And for sure if you have a serious heath problem,you will not fix it watching your face on the mirror.

Then go for professional help. Psychologists also do have resources of supervision.

Professional help costs money. I'm doing it,but only because I've been lucky that someone is helping me. There is no way for me to get that help if I had to pay the bills for myself. Apart this,the mental imbalances are hard to cure. It could take a lot of years. I don't have a job as psychologist. I'm only graduated.

Inspirational words from getopt. ?

The continuation of the inspiration:

As a human individual I do not want to be a commodity.
I do not want to be used as a resource.
I do not even want to think of human resources.
