I All I've been doing since I was 12 was laying in my bed; looking at my phone or a laptop and jerking off and going to sleep. Every friend "group" I've been in has ended poorly, other than that, I've been constantly alone. I've only been to schools for kids with special needs and I'm special needs myself.
I've always looked at every hobby like a locked door that I'm unable to get through that everyone else can get through without any issues.
Now I'm trying to get a real hobby, but every time I think about doing anything else other than my normal routine, it makes me depressed because I can only think about how much time I've wasted.
I have a job, but it's only part time for 3 hours every day and I don't work weekends and I still feel empty and useless. I want to do something other than scrolling on my phone. I hate my life. I want this to stop. I'm actually scared about wasting my life.

I hope you get to a good place in due time, anon. Once, I tripped on 2g of shrooms. I was conscious the whole time, but the way I thought changed and I realized how harsh I spoke and treated myself. I cried for a long time.

That was one of my initial steps on my journey to self-compassion.

>my journey to self-compassion.
huh that seems quite important to think on. I don't think drugs will help, I'm afraid I might jump off a roof or something. but there are probably resources out there that can help me.

>>7064835
Yes, drugs aren't necessary and I only used shroom for therapeutic reasons. After that trip, the grunt of the work was done with therapy, which I recommend way more than shrooms. Look up on compassion focused therapy and the self-compassion concept made popular by Kristin Neff.

Ok I will, thanks for the rec anon.

I don't know who you are, but i can relate.
I spent most of my life repeating same boring routine, doing nothing with my life other than play games and jerk off and even when i draw my progress is slow for soon 4 years since i strated and on top it's concern if i'm gonna end up like some who are stuck being /beg/. I have been loner most of my life and been treated like a retard by people and most of friends alike who pretend they are nice. I don't have anything going on for me other than art so i'll rather die drawing even with little progress than do nothing

Why? What is a wasted life? Not having children? Not making an impact on the world? Not being the top of your profession?
Every life is born and wasted op, we all die and will be forgot. Most of us sooner than other, but it does not really matter since we will be dead either way.

The concept of "wasted life" comes from those who see everything as a resource. Nothing just is or is valuable just for being. You are valuable just for being anon, do not let others insecurities about how the world works warp your mind. No matter what you do, live your life in a way that feels good/right to you, not to fight some insecurity/deep seeded anxiety of comparring ourselves to others and determi>>7064823
ng our worth from that.

>>7064817
I legitimately have no idea what I'm looking at

>>7065006
if you were to try, how would you describe what you see in detail?

>>7064961
>the idea hasn't completely been mastered in my mind
It takes a while, gotta practice. It'll click eventually so trust the process

>>7065002
>You are valuable just for being
This is dumb nihilistic advice, do not listen to him, OP.
Being a fat lazy waste of space has no value. The weeds growing out of the sidewalk cracks have more value. Do something. Try and improve or accomplish something, there is a reason why humans have this desire, and it isn't just nurture.

erna was one of the entrances to the Underworld, and the ancient Lernaean Mysteries, sacred to Demeter, were celebrated there. Pausanias (2.37.1) says that the mysteries were initiated by Philammon, the twin "other" of Autolycus. Heroes could gain entry to the netherworld via the Alcyonian Lake. Prosymnus aided Dionysus in his search for his mother Semele by guiding him to this entrance. For mortals the lake was perilous; Pausanias writes:
There is no limit to the depth of the Alcyonian Lake, and I know of nobody who by any contrivance has been able to reach the bottom of it since not even Nero, who had ropes made several stades long and fastened them together, tying lead to them, and omitting nothing that might help his experiment, was able to discover any limit to its depth. This, too, I heard. The water of the lake is, to all appearance, calm and quiet but, although it is such to look at, every swimmer who ventures to cross it is dragged down, sucked into the depths, and swept awa
If it;s yellow it's probably Alcyonian Lake

In traditional Chinese astronomy, stars from Aries were used in several constellations. The brightest stars—Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Arietis—formed a constellation called 'Lou',variously translated as "bond" or "lasso" also "sickle", which was associated with the ritual sacrifice of cattle.

Phylarchus wrote of a different origin for Crater. He told how the city of Eleusa near Troy was beset by plague. Its ruler Demiphon consulted an oracle which decreed that a maiden should be sacrificed each year. Demiphon declared that he would choose a maiden by lottery, but he did not include his own daughters. One nobleman, Mastusius, objected, forcing Demiphon to sacrify his daughter. Later, Mastusius killed Demiphon's daughters and tricked the ruler in drinking a cup containing a mixture of their blood and wine. Upon finding out the deed, the king ordered Mastusius and the cup to be thrown into the sea. Crater signifies the cup.[4]

ummm did you not hear? I’m literally completely valid and justified and worthy by simply existing. Attempting to accomplish anything during my life is irrelevant because we all die, but also my mere existence is valuable enough to be satisfied with.
