/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I never call back.

Because I like to be alone

Because every time I actually venture outside, have visitors or someone calls me I am reminded how much I like my solitude.

Social interactions are quite tiresome, believe me.

how can you assume I don't have any friends?

They cut into my touhou

I consider all of /jp/ to be my friend, so in reality I will never truly be friendless.

Don't need any.

>mfw I only have 1 friend and I thought that was bad

I do but I'd rather hang out on /jp/ and play touhou

you guys can't be serious...you mean to tell me you dont have any single acquaintance outside of family that you talk to ??

>>6364812
Ever since my friend moved away, I don't. I like it.

fuck I can't find it but can someone post the wheel of fortune "person with no friends" thing

I don't have any friends, not even on the internet.

Anime, touhou and weed are my only friends.

Why do people actually need friends? Why can't people just spend everyday playing visual novels, watching anime, and posting on 4chan forever alone in peace?

>>6364812
Of course not. I don't talk to my family either.

┐(´ー｀)┌
Don't know why, just never happened I guess.

That's rude! I have internet friends, you know.

>>6364838

> I have internet friends

Faggot.

>>6364812

I talk to the local 711 cashier every couple weeks

>>6364831

Because then you would be a useless sack of shit who feeds of the government like a leech and gives back nothing to society except ramen consumption.

>>6364812
Had plenty back in high school because I was pretending to be a normal so I wouldn't be judged as "that weird guy" or something.
Thing is, talking about sex, cars or whatever pointless shit normals like to talk about, as well as making fun of anyone who doesn't suit shitty society rules gets old pretty fast, I ended up being completely disgusted by any type of social interaction.

>>6364867

Living the dream.

/jp/ is my friend.

I have some friends. No one I really care about all that much though. We speak of Touhou, Umineko, Vocaloid, and the like. Not very much else though. On the rare occasion I do hang out with them, I end up bringing my laptop and playing touhou anyways.

nvm I found it

>>6364867

President Obama wants me to feed off the government why should I not be a leech its the 21st century socialism has won

also fuck you I actually do have a disability I can't make money like normal people

I have friends. The reason i rarely hang out with them is because i have more fun being alone and i hate people.

The modern world is so shallow, thinking you need friends to validate your existence. Epicurus was also a huge normalfag like that.

All I want is money.

>>6364904
This. People just annoy me, I have to deal with them though because I'm a parasite on them. I'm happiest when I have no human contact for days, I hate hearing footsteps in my house.

but /jp/ how will you ever start a family and spread your seed if you have no contact with people or a good job?

>>6364931
Oh you.

I wouldn't mind hanging out with an autistic /jp/ femboy sexually.

Other than that, nope.

Friends? I am too old for friends.

>>6364931
There's enough kids in the world. If I were pressured to have to have a child I'd adopt.

>>6364931
If they'd find a way for me to have kids without being forced to get my dick around some filthy STDs-filled 3D vagina, sure, having kids would be quite a nice thing.

>>6364936
Seriously.

Think about being you, the way you are (maybe not you, but the average /jp/ user at least) ten or twenty years from now. What then? You will be a middle-aged creepy fuck with no accomplishments.

Do something with your lives or go hang yourselves.

>>6364965
>Do something with your lives or go hang yourselves.

Oh I'm sorry, since when does everyone have to adhere to YOUR views?

>>6364965
You want /jp/, nay, ANYONE on 4chan or the internet for that matter to spread their seeds?

>>6364965
Get out normal. You think accomplishing things that society views as "achievements" will in any way justify your life? You will die the same as anyone.

The world is not about achieving things. There is no rational argument to make about the value of "achieving", opposed to the value of happiness.

The only thing that matters is whether or not you are happy, not what a congregation of normals think otherwise. And if you think you can't be happy without "achieving" you're just another slave to normalfaggotry. What do I even mean if? You are, you worthless normal. Deal with your worthlessness.

>>6364965
>Do something with your lives or go hang yourselves

Fuck you, I'm enjoying myself.

>>6364965

>You will be a middle-aged creepy fuck with no accomplishments.

>implying there is anything wrong with that

I got zero IRL friends and 1 person online that I regularly talk to. I'm completely happy though, but that's probably because I take care of myself. "Sound body, sound mind" as they say.

I love people in general too, so that probably helps a lot. The less sources of asspain I have, the better.

>>6364978
>or the internet for that matter
Tired of this argument. The greatest communications invention of all time is something only used by people who should not spread their seed? If you argue this, you argue that the only people who should be allowed to spread their seed are people who are too out of touch with technology to use it, ie, the elderly, who will just have modernly adapted children anyway, or foaming-at-the-mouth retards who can't possibly interact with technology.

Same thing as the "hurp special olympics internet" saying, which is something so retarded I can only hope the people who think it's clever are underage.

>>6364988
>1 person online that I regularly talk to

>>6364965

I just want a peaceful and comfortable life, i don't want kids or accomplishments.

I kept moving, my few good friends became distant and I couldn't make new ones. Now I just can't be bothered.

Other people are annoying, i try to keep it as low as possible and when someone wants to hang out with me or invite me with the group i just make up some excuses to get away.

LIke already said in the thread, i have the most fun when i am alone. a hour or a half talking to someone a day is plenty for me.
And when the time comes, and i have a better job, i will adop a daughter.
This is pretty much the only dream i have, raise a fine daughter and shoot every men who ever comes close to her.

>>6365003
Unintelligible post.

>>6364998
No, I just want another golden age for glorious master species to emerge faster, really.

>>6365010
You think the daughter will be any different? She'll just be a slut who'll hate you for your treatment of her potential dicking givers, and you will come to hate her too.

>>6365010
>And when the time comes, and i have a better job, i will adop a daughter.

You sick fuck.

Everyone reading this is actually liable to enjoy the company of others, you seeking out like minded people on this here site and all.

>you seeking out like minded people on this here site and all.
>here site

I've got 3 people I would call true friends and a handful of people I hangout with in the week.

I do enjoy social interactions in moderation.

I shall have a job, and then all the little girls in the community shall be my daughters.

>>6365036
I'm sure most of us would like to be friends with others from /jp/, even in RL.

However like-minded people are extremely rare it seems, even on 4chan we hate the fast majority of people.

>>6365036
I wouldn't like /jp/ in real life. I wouldn't like to hear /jp/ over voice chat or whatever either, because I'm sure they'll act like /b/tards. I find it more tolerable to talk to other people when it's just text.

>>6365019
If he raises her well, unlike the vast majority of parents nowadays who don't know shit about raising children, I don't see how she'd turn into a slut.

>>6365036
I don't know about others /jp/edos but I wouldn't see myself actually being friend with one IRL, hell I've even tried to talk with some using msn or whatever in the past, but we just didn't have anything to say to each other.

>>6365046
No way. We would land in Jail for the next 40 years.

>>6365060
>If he raises her well,

>he thinks parents are the biggest influence on their children

>>6365019
That is yet to see. I can just raise her well and hope for the best. Whatever comes, comes.
>>6365026
Not in a sexual way, i want to at least have one good thing in my life that i can be proud of.

>>6365060
Except that girls whose parents try to shelter her from all boys and reality are much more likely to just become sluts to get back at them.

>>6365046
>>6365048
>>6365060
You're mates missing the point. The Point being that you don't need to forge long lasting relationships through forced or prolonged communication. In my opinion I have many great friends in books, just mere words I feel I have a connection to. This site right here could be a grand book of some kind being written continuously by some Dr. Jekyll. I can't talk with the author but I can choose what to read.

>>6365066
A good parent should be able to protect his children from society's evil influence.

>>6365088
Do you sometimes lose grip on reality? Stop with making up shit, face the reality and accept it.

I'm an elitist fuck who is incredibly insecure in social situations. Not to mention the low self esteem - it's like I generally believe I'm better than everyone but when I'm in a social situation I experience crippling anxiety. This deadly combo of narcissism, social ineptitude, shit self esteem, and the internet will likey keep me lonely for many years to come.

Okay, that's fine. The whole family thing isn't really a big deal, and if you can live without friends, great, you don't have to schedule your life around anyone else's. But don't you want to do something, anything with your lives? Study, build something, develop your art or skill in a way that really has an effect on people? Or keep beating off to loli doujins for the next twenty years.

PROTIP: those two aren't mutually exclusive.

When I get in a relationship with someone it's because they're huge masochists who can take me using them and treating them like shit. They still love me no matter what I do but I hate myself for it. Even if they consider me a friend I'm not truly a friend to them.

>>6365100
Remember. It does not matter how good you are, there will always be someone better out there.
If you are lonely then something is wrong with you because you long to be accepted, loved and wanted by other people. What you are doing is make your own life hard and miserable. Stop giving a fuck, then things will be easier and you may do better or not. Who gives a fuck what other people want, you yourself are important.

>>6365092
I can't imagine any way of doing that when they hit teens besides locking them in the basement. And we know how that worked out for Fritzl.

Best thing you can do I imagine is make sure they trust you enough not to hide shit from you and actually consider your advice. Then hope for the best.

>>6365106
Were you listening when I was only talking about your notion of achievements, not any bullshit about family life, or were you too busy seeing everything through your normalfilter?

>>6365106
Why the hell would you even want to waste your time on useless shit like that?

>>6365099
Sometimes, mate, we don't have a choice but to turn away. Everyone's got their unique ways of coping with reality.

>>6365100

Are you me?

>>6365106
I hate other people but i am studying again and doing great one year in. I will keep the contact with other people as low as possible in the next 30 years or so. And, like i said, adopt me a daughter to, how you said, build something up.
And i don't give a fuck about leaving an impression on people.

I'd be friend with a /jp/er, but I lack the self-confidence recquired to talk to someone without anonymity on.

>>6365036
>seeking out like minded people

Why yes.
I like Touhou, Science, and Languages
/jp/-/sci/-/int/
My personal bases

>>6365106
>Study, build something, develop your art or skill in a way that really has an effect on people?

Why should I care if my actions affect other people or not? What have "other people" given me? I was never asked if I wanted to be born, but here I am and now people expect something from me?

>>6365119
It's actually pretty hard to truly not give a shit. It's easy to just stop caring at a single moment, but if you start to think about the realty of the situation it's hard not to feel bad.

>>6365133
We can talk about numbers.

So lonley...

>>6365123
Well, okay, what's your notion of achievements then? All your responses looked like the same sour grapes bullshit to me, honestly.

>>6365119
I'm actually not "lonely" and I stopped giving a fuck quite some time ago. Thanks for the advice though - If I ever want friends what I think I'll have to do foremost is work on my interpersonal-skills and confidence. People who know me say I come off as rude and depraved. I am also a closet pedophile. I'm sure if I met like-minded people I'd have no problem interacting with them. I really can't see myself "censoring" my personality just so I could have normalfag friends. No, I'd much rather be myself and alone.

I'm going to a masquerade with my friend tomorrow night. I should be working on my mask right now but I'm lazy and it's going to stain my fingers blue.

>>6365133
This. I a real conversation or even on AIM, people expect you to say things. On /jp/ I can just post once and say nothing else, I can disappear at any point. I can even pretend to be another person to add to the conversation.

>>6365106

I got bored and tried that once. Downloaded Robert Feynman's lecture book. Then you realize, after learning something like how to use carbon-14 dating to determine the age of rocks, that you will never, ever need to do something like that. It is completely worthless information that you learn in order to try to convince yourself that you're accomplishing something. At least do something worthless that is fun.

I have a lot of friends, and I like to talk to them, or at least I say I like to talk to them. I like getting out of the house and hanging out of people and just talking, most of the people I called friends in high school I'm sure I would have a good time if I went out to lunch with them or something for no particular reason.

But even though I like such things they don't happen. I haven't talked to 99% of them in years and years, and I haven't talked to the remaining four or so in months.

So maybe they're not really friends and I'm just in denial.

>>6365139
True, but in all my 8 years as a NEET the only thing that kept nagging on me was that everyone else moved on with their lives, got something and i was stuck on the same spot. Over and over. What made it easier was just holing up, never going outside, have no contact with other people. This somehow made an illusion like no one existed so i did not need to hear what other people are doing and what i missed and what a failure i am.

Plus, the thoughts that my time will come and it is just not yet the time for it. I will be something, just later and not now. Collect my energy and so on. And, of course, i am a much better person in every aspect than all the people out there. Even now i feel that i am superior to other people. The hardest is when you realize that you are inferior to everyone else in some aspects.

>>6365156
>´Robert Feynman
>Robert

Jesus fucking christ.

>>6365161
> Even now i feel that i am superior to other people.
>i
Then quit doing this you fucking illiterate.

>>6365149
My notion of achievements is that they have no rational value in the end. They may help people now or help future generations, but what's the point in that? What's the point in life continuing at all? There isn't any, there isn't any point in it ending either. People have come understanding philosophically that nothing has a purpose constantly, all this talk of achievements in just doublespeak when you yourself know there is nothing of value in them at all, or anything. Therefore, it should not be required for someone to have "achievements" in the view of society at large. It should not be expected, either. All you want it for someone to perform a difference dance of nothing.

>>6365161

two people i regularly talk to online
>nr 1 is a fujoshi
>nr 2 is an autistic/adhd manchild who doesn't take his meds

i guess that makes me pretty normal for /jp/

>>6365172
That's fine. If nothing has a purpose, which is entirely possible, let's stop arguing because there's no point to it.

>>6364777
I had friends but i lost contact with them when i became a NEET.

I was kicked out of school because i used to go to class only once a week.

>>6365168

not that guy but capital letters are a waste of time.

>>6365150
I know how you feel. Whenever i see some cute girl i need to look the other way. The years make it harder and harder on me.
>interpersonal-skills and confidence
The best way to work on that is to come off as confident and just strike up conversations even if everyone is looking at you. Come towards people, talk about some shit. Even if you feel like you are about to die. Be the first to react is always good.

NEET here.

I still have two friends from middle school that come and visit me about twice a month to play games and shit. They're my only contact to the outside world. So fuck you, I have friends. So normal ;_;

>>6365147
NEVER ALONE!

>>6365119
>Remember. It does not matter how good you are, there will always be someone better out there.
It's... It's like I'm really reading GTO.

>>6365179

Fuck you, man.

You guys are depressing. Who cares if you have friends or not, or whether you're doing anything with your life? Just play some games or whatever and take it easy.

>>6365185
And do you present that as if it's a valid rejection of the simple truth that nothing is worthwhile?

Because there's no purpose in anything, the point of life is entirely subjective, but generally I find the point to be happiness. If you read my other post instead of being a huge normal, you would have seen that. Therefore, if someone is happy not accomplishing any "achievements" in the view of society, they have lived a life as good as any. Someone else's subjective view that they didn't is just that. It has no more value than their view, no matter how many people believe it, it is still only subjective.

>>6365179
Beat me to it.
And for me, it's not really just that someone is always better, it's that worse at everything than everyone else, like I'm a sub-person, and no matter what I do it'll turn out badly. Even when I try to take it easy and just enjoy myself, something will remind me and I'll start to feel bad. I'm still too low level.

>>6365205
Great, now lets talk about dicks.

>>6365200
>still hasn't realized that simple fact.

>>6365119

Not him, but I'd rather be closer to the top than at the bottom though. I just lack what it takes though. If my presence only hurts people then it's better to be alone.

>>6365203
Tripfellow is right. This discussion is pointless.

>>6365215
I would be willing to dress up for /jp/ and make pictures.

>>6365205
Hey guy, I never said YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE WHAT I AM SAYING. I was bringing up my own views, and you are completely free to dispute them. And I'm not a normal. I wish to god I were a normal, because I honestly hate this life and I'm trying to get out of it.

If you're genuinely happy with your life, then I am happy for you. True, lasting happiness is something hard to achieve.

My tastes are too all over the place. No one's going to want to talk about the stuff I like, so I just keep to myself.

I have two people I think I can call friends. We live kind of far apart now but at least I still have a handful of acquaintances! Of course I don't think any of them would care if I died tomorrow.

So ronery ;_;

>>6365206
Well every day that you're alive is another day to try to get better though. Instead of ragging on yourself about how terrible you are you should stop and realize how lucky you are to just exist.

Nobody is going to make you happy but you. Everything we do is meaningless to the world in the long run but that doesn't mean that you can't find personal significance in what you, yourself, do.

>>6365179

What am I supposed to see here beyond, "time marches on and nobody gives a crap"? Because everyone's told me that since the beginning of time.

I listen to this when i feel ronery ;_;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh1MPq3iuts

>>6365253
Give up hope, you'll never have a future. Just accept that you are meaningless.

>>6365259
I don't care if I have meaning or not. I'm just going to do what makes me happy.

Never thought i would see a good thread on /jp/ again.
Thanks Guys, i now know why i still come this place. I belong here because there are people like me, makes me feel less shitty.

>>6365278
>good thread on /jp/ again
>ronery thread

>>6365271
I have never heard anyone say anything more profound than this in the entirety of my short time here on earth.

You people seem to lack the ability to deny reality.
You see, we're all fucked. Sure maybe one day you'll wake up and try to get a job and live out a fairly normal but ultimately subpar life.
But, the thing is you don't have a chance, and if you continue to look at this fact it'll crush you. Deny your past, take away your name, don't think about what will happen. Turn on some animu, play through a VN, surround yourself with figures of your waifu whatever it takes. Tune out the world, tune out your life, even tune out yourself. Just find a way to make each moment pleasurable and leave the problems for tomorrow.

>>6365106
Doing other things would reduce the time I have available for beating off to loli doujins.

>Sure maybe one day you'll wake up and try to get a job and live out a fairly normal life.

>>6365356
forgot mfw

Forgot my reaction image.

>>6365253
Nipaa, your purpose in life is to post Rika threads.

Do you have any good Rika doujins actually? I can't seem to find any.

Let go. LET GO.
The only "acceptable" achievements are the one made for the greater good. The anonymous ones.
The ones that will make you proud of yourself, without asking anything else in return.

>>6365259
But that's the problem. I will have to have a present and a future (whatever that might be) in order to actually have any property of my own. I'm inadvertently affecting somebody, negatively or positively just by existing as a vibration in the time continuum and the only way to end this effect is suicide. The effects of my existence is negligible however so even if I were to start an orchestra it would serve as little but solace for my own ego. Put in perspective this seems to strip me of personal responsibility for my own or my influence over others actions. a cell isn't really indebted to another cell for existing but it still exists with a purpose. Universe itself didn't exist before existence, but then it existed, and one day it'll probably cease to exist. Ultimately I can try to reverse this effect, and hope to find some kind of meaning there (might I only find solitude in my godhood or cease being human), or I can try to care about the beings within my own room of time until attendance is over, all things considered they're not going to go away unless I'm a terrible host.

>>6365291
Better than "which Touhou would you fuck" and "satenspam thread #8958985094", at least.

As for OP's question... well, there's this guy who's always playing Hisoutensoku and Diablo 2 with me (online, obviously), so I guess I can consider him my friend. All other people I used to hang out with moved away, but I've come to enjoy this lonely way of life. It's so... peaceful, at least when the neighbors aren't being noisy fucks.

>>6365416
This is no better than those threads at all. It's as bad, if not worse, since it promots depressing feelings as a regularity in /jp/. Reported for trolling.

I have one friend who's just moved to my city because he started doing something else in university.

He's a normalfag, but we hang our every now and then.
It's been some 2 weeks since I saw him last, but I sent him a message asking him if there was a movie at the cinema he'd like to see.

So we're going to go and watch that next week.

The only place I talk to people is pretty much either in class or in the shared kitchen.
Mostly superficial stuff, of course. People get surprised when they find out about my life in solitude.

I went out with my friend and some American exchange students a while ago, and the American who lives on my floor here at the dorm wants me to go out again.
I doubt it'll happen.

>>6365427
Someone's been here for one week, it seems.

>>6365456

>>6365427

I strongly believe most of us take some sort of pride in our solitude.
We share something here. That's why I keep coming back.

Not to discuss powerlevels or to report threads, but to be around people like me.

>>6365467
Surely you jest?

I switched schools early in high school (10 years ago) and immediately started feeling pressured and fearful of others in social situations to the point where I couldn't tolerate being spoken to. It went on for years until I learned to deal with people in day to day life again, but by then I'd learned life was much easier and simple alone.

>>6365471
I am with you my friend. That is one of the reasons i come back here.

i've got 2 fellow /jp/ers for friends online, but other than that i've seen the best of both worlds and i just figured i rather keep doing what i enjoy the most which is being on the computer

i gave up a social life because ive just realized how much of a droll it is, talking/texting to people about people for hours is just something out of my calling

if some guys feel lonely its because they value being with people, but for the rest of us we shouldn't give a shit and just keep taking it easy without feel so guilty or out of place

>>6365471
Who here wouldn't enjoy their solitude?
