Nope.

This.

I have been living in my own world.

how old are you?

Autism

I never get bored even when mindlessly refreshing /jp/ all day. Maybe a sedentary life just isn't for you.

>>7763194
27 on the 30th.

I can't wait for my happy birthday e-mail from Hongfire.

>>7763197
I just got mine the other day. Good ol' Hongfire.

>>7763197
man that mail was by birthday's highlight

>>7763179
You either don't belong here or you have yet to come to terms to what you are.
I think there was a time when most of us worried about the same things, but we are beyond that now. After some time you don't care anymore.

Who cares about "going out in the world and doing shit"? It's all meaningless. Just do what you enjoy.

Enjoy it while it lasts, and try to keep it going for as long as possible.
After 3 years I have to go back to school. Shit sucks.

>/jp/ at home

i am 21 and same situation. but there is nothing you can do.

Eroge is more fulfilling than anything the outside world has to offer.

>>7763220
That's pretty accurate. It's a nice song too.

Of course. I just don't like making blog posts here about it.

>>7763232
Wouldn't you rather live your own eroge at some point?

Fantasizing about what you would do in the protag's situation starts to feel empty after a while.

Then what would you rather be doing OP? Nothing? You don't know?

Exactly you're already doing what you want.

I play video games. That's all I want to do, the outside world doesn't seem that interesting unless I decide to make extremely stupid choice.

Two months until my Hongfire email.

The only reason I even bother remembering my birthday (or checking my email).

Also, I finally commissioned some art for a daki, it was really awkward to send the mail, but now I'm eagerly awaiting it. I didn't even feel this excited on holidays as a little kid.

OP, perhaps you just aren't cut out for this. I'm sorry for you. Have you tried SSI yet? Having the money makes a difference.

>>7763238
obligatory 3dpd mention

I don't long for "achievements" or anything, I just want to have fun and take it easy for the rest of my life.

Take distance learning classes.

>>7763238
I'm not particularly fond of the NTR genre

Play Killing Floor all day.
Report threads all day.
change IP because "You've already reported enough posts."

Why do we keep responding to these thread?
Why do they keep making these threads?
How come they don't get banned?

>>7763238
Haha. You funny guy.

>>7763238
> live your own eroge
jesus christ how horrifying

But I have job. And when I hadn't I was looking for it. After reading googling "common interview questions" I passed interviews without problems.

>>7763258
What's with these attention whores always crashing our threads?

I'm trying to learn how to draw, which is more fulfilling than anything else I can think of.

I ended high school with a plan being a neet forever. First year I was really happy I played MMOs, watch anime read eroge and all that funny stuff. But after a year and half I've become depressed. So I started excersise and learn some stuff that I've been interested in like programing and jap. language after 3 years of being shut-in I said to myself fuck this shit and went outside to make myself a diploma in electrical engineering. Now I work 8 hours per day and well for now I'm happy. But I still do not socialize with my co-workers I just don't have anything to talk with them. When I got my job I thought it will suck because I won't have time for all that games and anime and /jp/ but I find it even more interesting than before because at the end of the day I'm looking forward to go home and watch some anime or read some eroge. It's about you at the end. If you're ok sitting all day every day on your ass then do it. But for me I enjoy my work and money I get for it.

>>7763263
They don't have anyone else to tell.
Which is sad in it's own way.

>>7763238
Sure! When VR is perfected, all the time I spent playing eroge will pay off in the form of inspiration for the fictional worlds I'll be able to create.

Do you people enjoy being this depressing?

>>7763287
I happen to get a certain perverse pleasure from it, yes.

>>7763287

>>7763287
More like we don't give a shit.
I have accepted I'll probably die alone and a virgin, it doesn't matter as long as I'm able to enjoy myself.

>>7763287
It's not really that bad is it? We just reject social norms and values. But look at us, we're all here together in harmony lol not

You're fucking queer and a shitposter.

>>7763299
i'm not queer and holy HELL naizz dubs.
oh and if you can read this then you're a fagglet

>>7763301
Are you black? For some reason I keep thinking you are, might be the way you type or something.

If you have any angsts in life that doesn't pertain to disruptions of your NEET lifestyle, then you need to get out of /jp/.

>He still gets depressed!

In 21 more years I shall be the strongest wizard known to man. Why would I possibly be depressed? Foolish mortals can't possibly comprehend I suppose.

>>7763301
>fagglet
I laughed more than I should have, I love you man.

>>7763179
Nah, not really. I enjoy it and I'm trying to become completely self-sufficient but I need more money.

>>7763238
wat

Here's a question /jp/:
What would you do if your modem stopped working, your computer was busted beyond repair and no computer was available to you for the next year?

>>7763238

But I do live in my own eroge.

>>7763294
>and by the time the American Declaration of Independence was written in 1776, the "pursuit of happiness" was declared an inalienable right, endowed by the creator.

I hate when fucking idiots get this shit wrong. That was never in the original document, it was added much later to replace the property clause.

>>7763325
Are you seriously 9 years old?

>>7763335
Here's a question:
Why don't you die in a fire already?

>>7763338
butthurt beyond repair. face it, you're only strong enough to defend your lifestyle when you have a screen to sit in front of. once it's gone, you're just a pointless excuse for a human being who hasn't got shit going for them

>>7763335
I'd buy new parts for my computer and call up the cable company to get a new modem.

>>7763335
Same thing I did when I was too poor to afford either.
Spend all my waking time in autistic dream worlds creating stupid self fulfillment stories, and sleeping.

Is this seriously even a question?

>>7763345
Seriously? Where did you come from, >>>/v/? If I didn't have a computer I would wish to able to meet you and laugh in front of your face.

>>7763345
Nobody is denying that?

>>7763345
>butthurt
AHAHAHAHAHA
Are you a /b/tard or something?

>>7763353
so become an hero

My perpetual indecision prevents me from getting too comfortable with the NEET or normal lifestyles. I constantly mix things up to keep myself distracted from how unsatisfied I am

>>7763335
Use SSI to repair them. Pending that, I have about a dozen P4 computers in various states of disrepair, I'm sure I could get something running. Then just use the neighbor's wifi.

Failing that, wait. It's only a year.

>>7763343
>Spend all my waking time in autistic dream worlds creating stupid self fulfillment stories
I still do this.

I shit on the floor and blame it on my dog.

Sitting around in anticipation waiting for my parent's to beat the shit out of him keeps me happy every day.

>>7763359
The whole of /jp/ does that.

I don't care about the lives of others, so I don't find myself comparing them very often. I've not left my house for a bit longer than 6 years and I still don't get bored or depressed. Games, anime and /jp/ are all I need.

>>7763378
That's hilarious.

>>7763386
I thought i was the only one. The sad part is that when i start daydreaming i don't want to come back at reality.

Im just happy normal /jp/ is almost back, the retarded posters/newfags and shitposts are decreasing already. This whole summer/year sucked without a meido, i think a lot of the /a/,/v/,etc outsiders finally left and now its just /jp/.

>>7763386
I don't. Every time I dream, it's a nightmare. And the nightmare doesn't stop when I wake up.

>>7763404
This whole thread shows that the normalfags and outsiders left.

>"... the best way to increase your happiness is to stop worrying about being happy and instead divert your energy to nurturing the social bonds you have with other people ... If there's one thing you're going to focus on, focus on that. Let all the rest come as it will."

You guys are doing it wrong.

>>7763335
I would read shitty sci-fi. All day erryday.

I'm not a NEET because I enjoy it. I am one because I enjoy nothing, and being inside I can at least ignore most of the shit I don't like about the world.
Although, to be fair, my cousin dragged me into a photography course. It's only 2 hours per week, though.
Today was the first class, and none of the 30+ girls were even remotely close, not in the slightest, to the one girl I fell for. Should I go outside for that?

Been a NEET for the better part of a decade, and I couldn't be happier.

Depressed hikki/NEETs truly desire to be normalfags.

>>7763405
Maybe you should focus on self-actualization instead of the negative aspects of yourself and your life.

>>7763419
Well maybe he went from self-actualization part to the self-realization part.

>>7763412
>I am one because I enjoy nothing.

Hello, me.

>>7763417
What does he know!

>>7763405
That sounds pretty bad, hopefully it goes away anon. I rarely dream these days.

>>7763438
It's a she.

>>7763426
See, there is the problem. How can you be happy if you stop lying to yourself?

I get anxiety and i guess depressed, I think it might be biological though, I stated to take prozac but there really low doses because im afraid of meds..

>>7763444
Forget about finding happiness in the real world.
All you need is a good VN that makes you feel happy.

>>7763419
>>7763426
>>7763444
What?
Stop with the verbosity. I can barely understand what you're saying. What is "self-actualization" or "self-realization"? Is that anything like redundant introspection?

I'm miserable from the moment I get up. I just open my eyes and reload the program of misery by remembering who I am and what I'm like.

I'm surprised my brain doesn't process this shit and just tell me to go jump out my window.

I've enrolled in easy distance-education programmes to get money from the government. One course, which barely requires any work, goes on for 4 months, and the leftover money can fund me doing nothing for the rest of the year.

Perhaps I can get autism money soon.

>>7763475
Nevermind, I just looked it up. These are idiotic concepts.

>>7763475
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-actualization
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchy_of_needs
Just focus on what you really want in life. What other people want from you, or any sense of responsibility that you feel (other than to yourself and what you love) is irrelevant.

>>7763412
Why are every place you people go to full of girls?

Wherever I go it's only old hags and dudes and maybe one fugly girl.

>What do you fags do all day if you don't have jobs or go to uni or leave your house? Doesn't the meaningless meandering of your life start to bother you after a few months/years?
I've just stepped out of two years of being NEET and got myself a job in a factory a few weeks ago. Don't make the assumption that having a job makes your life suddenly meaningful. It just means you have a little more money. Life still sucks and once I'm back in the safe walls of my house I go back to what I did back when I was NEET.

>>7763510
YOU are an idiotic concept.

>>7763517
As I said, idiotic. This is babby's first everything.

ITT, three samefag NEETs arguing about which life sucks less.

>>7763528
I'm glad that you disagree. Now find your own path.

>>7763548
I never said I disagreed. Just tell me something I don't already know.

>>7763179
- sit glued to the PC all day on 4chan, pixiv, IRC.
- never leave my room till it's time to go to the toilet or I need to feed.
- Been a NEET for 5 years going on 6.

CRAWLING IN MY SKIIIIIIN!!! THESE WOUNDS... THEY WILL NOT HEEEEAL!!!

>What do you fags
Hey, hey! That's offensive you goddamn queer, licker of balls from Austin!

>>7763557
Put the concepts that are obvious to use in your everyday life. You feel like you should be contributing to something? Do it. You feel like you should be sitting in a dark room in front of a monitor for 20 hours a day? Go for it. It helps if you have some type of tangible goals, both short term and long term, even if they are something that society would scorn. If you care about what you are doing, that's all that matters. Life is about what you love. If you do what you love, whether that takes sacrifice of any kind, then you are happy, whether you think so or not.

>>7763552
Why? Why do you go everywhere I hold dear?

Also, this information contradicts things you've stated elsewhere.

>>7763576
Such as...?

I'd love to see a link if you've got one.

>>7763580
To spare the shitstorm I'll hold back on posting any links.

Just know that I've got my eye on you, and I really, REALLY wish that I didn't.

>>7763585
Well winners can't be choosers I suppose.

If you just want to post links because you think I've "contradicted myself", you can always PM me on IRC (which I also go under the same name).

>>7763567
Consider this:
Everytime I try to do something that even seems mildly interesting that has to do with life, I think about how awfully I might fail and then stop. I get satisfied with that and think how fun that would have been. Then I would forget about it and fall asleep. I guess I am too lazy to try things.

>>7763519
Eh, the course is offered by a small, independent photography school. I reckon even in the USA that would attract mostly females?
But anyways, shit if I care. Most of the girls I see, I find pretty. Some more, some less, but most of them are pretty to me. But the only one I actually desired rejected me (of course), and going through a group of 30+ girls and seeing none of them has any of her charm points is fucking painful and frustrating.
Jesus Christ, you can watch people for hours and not see a single fucking skirt. Forever alone.

>>7763567
"Do what you want when you feel like it."
Thanks, that was freaking transcendental. You just opened me up to a new level of consciousness. Now — just like a pizza with infinite toppings — I am one with everything. Smoke weed every week.

I used one primary email to sign up for everything ever, so on my birthday my mailbox is swarmed with Happy Birthday mails, even from sites I haven't visited for years.

brought tears to my eyes sometimes.

After one year of NEETing only interrupted by a three month half-stationary therapy, I'm actually ready to move beyond it.

I sometimes wish I could go back to my high school years knowing what I know now and not be a creepy fuck who plays WoW all day and sleeps through every class.

I feel like I missed out since I went to a pretty upscale private school (scholarship) with waifu-tier ojou-samas and poorfag white girls (scholarships) all of whom weren't stupid whores like public school.

>>7764396
Ah, life.
No matter how pathetic or terrible their past actually was, everyone wishes to go back in time and do some things differently.
You know how there's a saying that life is only understood in reverse? We're all the same in this very human dilemma, NEET or normalfag.

Who are you quoting?

Take your greentext shit back to /v/.

I'm going to back to school next month and I couldn't have overcome my depression and gotten my life back on track without 2d girls.

>>7764967

He is properly quoting another post.

>>7763179

I work from home programming video games as a freelance hacker. I also do web dev and security profiling. Paid almost $4k a month and my degree in CS doesn't even matter.

When I'm not coding, I watch anime, play Black Ops, read manga raws, smoke cannabis, work out, or just relax with friends.

I'm waiting for my portal to gensokyo to become functional. I couldn't care less about the outside/3D world.

>>7765009
>I watch anime, play Black Ops, read manga raws, smoke cannabis, work out, or just relax with friends.
>Colbert

Fuck you OP, I'm finally living the life of an MC now and it's awesome.

I've got my own two personal meidos AND a loli imouto.

We go to the arcades and shopping once in a while. Maybe dine out, or see a movie.

In the meantime I sit at home on /jp/ playing eroge and touhou. Sometimes I play with my imouto.

Shit's awesome

>>7765009
>smoke cannabis
Go to /b/ or /soc/

5 years and done nothing with my life, I don't give a fuck.

I wonder how many people on /jp/ actually make decent money, and if so why they would come to this shithole.

>>7765034
>>7765039
butthurt normalfags

i used to be NEET for about 3-4 years
now i am in med school
i am DEFINITELY NOT going to waste this second chance for a normal life
one amazing thing i've discovered is, i still have time for /jp/ related hobbies, and that 99.9% of my NEET years was spent only on one thing: shutting off my brain and pressing F5

>>7765049
if you have any form of income (Unless it is from an MMO or made from your room and you never leave) then you shouldn't be here.

>>7765060
>med school

Nice, what field?

Practicing optometrist here.

>>7765060
no field, i'm still in my 2nd year of preclinical
i'm a (general) surgery hopeful though

>>7765064
This is pretty much one of the worst misconceptions that shitty posters have.

>>7765060
>>7765075

oh medfags

4th year, going on 5th here.

aiming for surgery, probably robotics

>>7765049
I'm a day trader and I make roughly $5k a month doing nothing but hedging currencies while F5ing /jp/.

Taxes are fucking killing me, though. It's nearly 50% thanks to that Frank-Dodd bullshit. Fuck the government and politicians.

Before I turned into a NEET I was aiming for med school but failed Organic Chemistry 5 times and got auto-dropped.

The funny thing is I had all A's and B's in every other course. Fucking rote memorization, I hated that course so much.

Reported for being even remotely happy.

>>7765098
5 times??
what

>>7765084
Isn't robotics more engineering than biology?

My sole existence is to observe and study whoever I meet because its interesting.
Also, hallucinogenic drugs make everything more interesting.

op, search for enlightenment.

>>7765100
Yeah, I can screenshot my transcript. It's basically AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBFFFFF.

I really don't know why I couldn't pass it. I think it was mostly psychological.

>>7765060
Biologist working in research here. Funny enough I pretty much live an otaku life even if I work almost 24/7. I probably work more than many of my peers, but since I don't have any social life whatsoever I can still watch quite a bit of anime and play touhou and VNs.

Being (somewhat) professionally successful didn't give anything that resembles a normalfag life, so in a sense I probably in deeper shit than most people here.

>reading shit about kids almost half my age

The only time I feel even remotely regretful while reading anything about kids half my age is when I read recounts of sexual activities.

well you don't have to leave your house to be productive
i made 2900€ over the last two months (without having a job)
and i always have a lot of things to do

When SHTF, I'm going to kill as many niggers as I can before they kill me.

Make sure your homes are barricaded, /jp/. They'll be coming to loot and rape whatever they can get.

I might be giving up the NEET life soon after 4 years. The problem is find where to start.

>>7765128
Join the Army. That's the best way out.

>>7765098
You mean med school isn't rote memorization?

>>7765132
Yep, fighting some pointless proxy war for rich assholes and being molded into a brainless order-following monkey is a great way to live.

Everyone I know who has joined the army says it was the dumbest thing they ever did and to ignore the war propaganda.

>>7765132
The problem is I take medication for depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia. Also my current body condition is terrible for such activities.

>>7765146
I served about eight years ago (not US - Scandinavia) and trust me it helps. I had a vidya addiction at the time. It didn't remove my interest in vidya, but gave me the will power not to play when I had more important things to do. Also, it's a great way to learn social skills, to be able to deal with a lot of different types of people. Getting in shape physically isn't such a bad thing either.

>>7763567
People like you sicken me. You actually think he's lived 20+ years without figuring this out by himself? You think that someone who had no motivation for his entire life would suddenly get just enough to do something just from reading a post on anonymous imageboard? How did you get to be so conceited?

>>7765151
I hear they make students stick needles into each other as a form of punishment.
And if you're REALLY bad, you get thrown into some dank basement and are forced to guillotine and preserve rats until the chloroform knocks you out.

>>7765165
>How did you get to be so conceited?
Too much touhou I assume.

>>7763567
Uh, did you inherit a large sum of money?

>>7765090

How much do you have to throw at the market, though? I've only got about 3k to invest, it's hard to do that with such meager funds. I managed to buy a few ounces of silver back when it was ~$25, but it's never enough.

>>7765168
Nonsense, one can never overdose on tuhu.

>>7765173
That's what I was thinking, too.

>>7765176
Exactly. Also, 2hu offers some of the best protection available against STDs.

>>7765090
>Taxes are fucking killing me
They damn well should. Your contribution to society doesn't match up to your income.

>>7765187
What's with this "contribution to society", is it some part of American mentality, like that need to "protect" something in Japan?

>>7765195
It's a way of making people feel good

>>7765196
So the opposite of taxes?

>>7765195
Not from either of those countries. This mindset is simply derived from self-study of logic and philosophy.

>>7765178
Funny, I actually started with 3k. I gradually worked it up to the 120k I have now after a little over a year.

I don't bother with gold or silver, nor can I because leveraged trading was removed in July thanks, again, to Dodd-Frank. What I do is very simple - I trade all the GBP, EUR, USD and JPY pairs so that one cancels out the other. If I'm short USD on one pair I'm long on another. I cash in when it's volatile/ranging and break even when it's moving in a single direction. Brokers hate me because I'm doing what they do and making profit regardless of where the market goes. I'm also using with a broker that lets me ignore FIFO which was set up specifically to prevent what I'm doing, so I'm sort of cheating the system.

>>7765187
I'm well aware that I'm a leech on society's ass, but is /jp/ really one to criticize me? I'm pissed at the politicians because they do the same shit except the make tax loopholes for themselves while I'm forced to pay them.

>>7765162
I haven't played videogames in a couple years.

I don't know why but I just lost interest. I can't even work up the willpower to start them up after I install them.

>>7765199
Really? I always thought hedonism was the only logical world view. How do you convince yourself to care about society without being brainwashed anyway?

>>7765209

Nice, so you cash in once when the market freaks out, then cash in again when it corrects. I don't really know any brokers though, especially not ones that let me cut in line. I'll ask around, though, maybe i can find one that doesn't murder me on comission

>>7765209
A greater evil doesn't absolve a lesser evil.

>>7765220
Because a more developed/advanced society will allow you to pursue hedonism to a greater extent.

>>7765220

When i consider that my comfy life filled with touhous and computers and cars was created by people working hard to create a better world rather than fucking and fapping all day, it inspires me to do the same. I don't really hold anything against those who aren't, though, because i know that after a few decades I'll just give up and go back to fapping all day anyhow

>>7763238
No, because fiction isn't reality. Real girls are horrible. There are a select few that are probably compatible with my high standards, but it's not worth the time nor effort looking for them, especially since the probability of me finding one is so low to begin with that I'd most likely not find her even if I actually tried.

Don't even get me started on the shit I'd have to go through if I did find her. It'd just be one battle after another. Find someone that meets my high standards? Cool, but if then it also means that they'd be pretty damn hard to get because they have high standards themselves, and I certainly have nothing unique to bring onto the table that other men that have been interested in her didn't have. And if she did actually like me? Then I'd have to deal with maintaining the relationship. And it really is just too many fights with low success rates, it'd really have to be a string of miracles for all of that shit to work out. So no, it's pretty fine like this.

>>7765290
You're over thinking this. Really.
Girls aren't another species.

>>7765293
Might as well be. Dealing with girls any time before you've gotten a steady life, which if you do you shouldn't be on /jp/, is a pain in the ass. Relationships are in general, more trouble than they are worth, since real life is a bitch and doesn't like crap like true love.

>>7765302
highschool was tough for you I imagine, huh?

>>7765293
>>7765308
I'm sure you're a lady killer.

These threads always end with someone trying to be a therapist.

>>7765311
The ugly lesbians do get annoying sometimes.

>>7765229
I doubt just you working or non-working affects society that much. Wouldn't it be more profitable for you to just relax and let other people work to create a better society?

>>7765232
These people hardly care about "better world" or anything. For them it's just a way to make money. Employees lie to their bosses to work less, and employers try to sell a worse product for more money. Why do you assume that everyone is an idealist?

>>7765308
Not really considering I'm still in it. Sleeping through class, getting decent grades, hanging within group of friends. Nothing really bad or difficult.

>>7764967
...the post that he quoted?

Well, if your preferred solution to prisoner's dilemma is to fuck the other guy over...

While not everyone is an idealist, indeed reality is far from it, there are still good people which we should model after. Engineers, scientists, charity volunteers, etc generally put in their best; and not solely for the sake of money, but because their work impacts other lives.

Most of us fags are quite content with our life. If we weren't we'd actually be out doing shit.
Instead of being depressed, go do something. Don't wipe it on us.

>>7765371
>if your preferred solution to prisoner's dilemma is to fuck the other guy over

It's pure math who tells me to do so. So, Instead, I should assume that other guy won't fuck me over because of...what? Bible? Real life experience?

> there are still good people which we should model after

So, even though my own life is terrible, I should strive to improve other people's life nevermind that they're ungrateful bitches who'll take it for granted anyway... for what? So I would feel superiority over them? For other kind of mysterious pleasure I would know about if I learned to live my life reading battle shonen manga / Kant?

Because you do it for the people who created your computer, your food, your gadgets, your medicines, your transportation, your conveniences.

Despite the shitty people and shitty things they do(sup finance sector), it seems that enough good has been and is being done by better men such that we have progressed from stone tools and raw food to microelectronics and nuclear power.

No, I don't really think so. I'm extremely picky to the point where I really don't think anyone would match my tastes anymore. At least nobody I'd ever meet. Even if I tried looking, nobody would catch my interest. Even the slightest things turn me off completely from someone. And, like I said, if I did find someone that I liked then it'd mean they meet my ridiculous standards, which means they are careful about who they want to be with and they most certainly wouldn't even think of being with me because I'm nothing special at all. Those two alone are huge obstacles to overcome and make it not worth trying. I'm fine alone, there's no point in going so much out of my way for someone that I'll most likely never even find. And if I do find them they most likely wouldn't bother with me anyway. In fact, I think liking me may actually be a turnoff, because who the fuck would like me? Something's wrong with them. I couldn't trust them, and relationships can't work without trust.

>>7765689

Out of curiousity, what are the traits of your ideal partner?

>>7765707

I don't want to bore you with the details. In fact I think I'm asexual now. I just don't find people interesting anymore. *sigh* Like I said I'm extremely picky, I have ridiculous standards and even the slightest things turn me off. Maybe I have autism but that's just a baseless self-diagnosis but if you must know here are the qualities I'd like in a partner:

• Generally speaking, the head should be lean, somewhat well chiseled, and showing energy, intelligence, courage, and nobility.
• Eyes are set far apart and are large, lustrous, and , when aroused, extremely attentive
• Face and head must be a real thing of beauty
• In weight, may be from 800 to 1,100 pounds

>>7765707
The one that responded to you isn't even me, but honestly it's too much stuff to go over. I really ask for too much. For one thing, as weeaboo as it sounds, I think I've only found Asian physical traits to be attractive. Might have something to do with my mother always dragging me to the nail salon with her every week when I was a kid? Or maybe because I really hate facial features and Asian features tend to be really minimalistic and smooth looking? Also nice hair and such. Well, that's the easiest part to get past. Physical traits aren't even really too much of a big deal for me, because I really wouldn't even notice them much unless the personality first stands out to me.

Personality wise, I'd very much like for them to not be as dumb as a rock. They don't have to be rocket science level or anything, but I would very much like if they actually were able to hold a nice conversation with me every once in a while. But they'd also have to be pretty shy, I guess. A hint of social awkwardness is cute to me. They'd have to be as deep into geeky crap as I am. I should be able to have a date with them sitting on a couch reading a fucking VN or something, and it'd be like a normal couple watching a movie together. Difference in reading speed may be a problem, but if one of us reads faster than the other I don't think it'd be strange if one of us waited.

Someone who really appreciates emotional connection, and really just likes being with each other. To me, a nice warm cuddle is very much appealing. At the same time they'd also have to be able to appreciate time alone. Clinginess isn't something I particularly hate, in fact it'd flatter me, but I am still an introvert that likes my time alone occasionally. Speaking of which, it'd be very much nice if she was one as well. She doesn't have to be friendless like I am, but I'd rather not be with someone that likes to go out partying all the time and such.

(field too fucking long)

>>7765778
(continued)
They also have to have some kind of talent that stands out. Not too picky on what it would be though.

They'd have to not be annoyed by me, which is kind of a funny think because if they like me why would they be annoyed by me? I know sometimes lovers get on each other's nerves, but this isn't what I mean. I mean, I'm awkward at times and they'd have to really just not be bothered by that.

Oh, and obviously she'd have to have pretty much zero relationship experience. I think I can let a first boyfriend that she had her first kiss with or something slide, especially if she's the one that was faithful and the relationship ended because of him or something. But I'd rather not be with someone that's dropped by multiple partners or anything. It's a rather selfish and childish request, but I honestly can't really trust someone that's hopped through multiple people before me. The virginity thing is more of a saving yourself for someone you really find special thing. Who knows, maybe they really did find the first person special and was hurt by them, I guess. I dunno if I could really hold that against them, it'd be entirely situational, but all in all this is something I think not many of them could get by. After all, if they've the traits I've listed, they're most likely being eyed by multiple guys anyway. And chances are, one of them is a guy they'd like back.

By my age, it's hard to find someone that's inexperienced with relationships and female even if they're unattractive slobs. Let alone someone that's actually interesting and unique enough to catch my eye.

I didn't even go over everything, but you can get the gist of it from that. No real girl is going to be reaching my standards. At least not one I'd find. I don't think a girl like this is impossible to exist, but they are extremely rare. They certainly wouldn't be around my area either.

>/jp/ - Your personal blog

Some extras for brownie points:
Cute voice, frail physique, shorter than me (I'm fairly short), doesn't mind cosplaying a little (but at the same time doesn't camwhore or anything when cosplaying. If she's a con goer that's kind of fine by me. I don't find them appealing, but if I like her enough she might be able to drag me to one just for her). She also has to have fairly decent tastes. Doesn't have to be identical to mine, and she's free to have guilty pleasures, but having a yaoi fangirl that's only into Inuyasha, OELVNs, Naruto, thinks Elfin Lied is the most mature anime ever, etc. is someone I'd rather not associate with.

Holy shit, go kill yourself. Reported.

>>7765790
It's not my fault he asked.

I would like to start by apologizing to all the CRT users that have horror stories that involve lcdfags, stories that I never believed.

Because today I met my first lcdfag. I was in lecture when the usual guy that sat next to me was either absent or this asshole decided to just take his seat. That's fine I'm cool with it. Half an hour in we started typing, me on my typical 19" CRT and him on a puny little LCD laptop. That thing barely even extended to my own desk. I didn't give a fuck because my CRT was 19" so I had room.

Then this idiot started to do some weird shit with his screen, minimizing and enlarging it. I don't know what he did because I'm a noob at LCDs but it showed like 5-6 screen at one time. Well he was doing this constantly which forced him to miss alot of the notes. So he had to look over to my CRT to read some of the notes he missed because he was fucking around with his LCD screen.

>>7765818
(continued)
This guy was starting to piss me off. Then he whispered to me, "Your CRT screen is so easy to read it's so crystal-clear." In which I promptly reply, "Maybe if spend the time copying the notes instead of fucking around with your LCD screen then you wouldn't have to copy off me.." He was silent for a while then came back with, "I didn't know you were going to be an asshole about it." I stayed silent then he moved seats because I was about to knock both him and his shitty LCD laptop on the floor. He said, "I'm moving seats," I told him Good GTFO out of here.

I was ready to get in a fight with this fucker. It's not because he owned an LCD but the way he acted while COPYING the notes I take because he was too busy e-cock sucking his tiny monitor.

>>7765778
>>7765782
>>7765794
Yeah, you're right. You'll never find anyone like that, and if you did they probably won't like you. You're like the /jp/ equivalent of the /fit/ dude looking for a 10/10 supermodel that doesn't really exist because those kind of girls are photoshopped to hell and back and have more makeup on them than a clown to cover up imperfections. Only it's cute because you're looking for a 10/10 personality that doesn't exist because the real world isn't like your moe Chinese girl cartoons.

>>7765827
And you think you're the only one who knows that?

>>7765165
>>7765173
No, I literally have no money. I have no friends, no permanent home and no naive ideals of changing the world. Not that my background has any relevance to what I have to say, but I am an illegitimate disowned child whose biological family is plagued by hereditary terminal illness. I've never been what you would conventionally call successful even once in my life, and I will probably never be in a position to be. I really don't think my post will do anything, but at least I tried and that is all anyone can ever hope to do.

I'm sorry that you are so angry at what I have to say, but I don't really care. It won't change why I said it or the opinion on which it is founded.

>>7765827

At least my goals are somewhat more realistic.

All it involves is removing the cat tail and changing the hair/eye color and outfit to something more realistic. Personality can remain the same.

I literally never get bored. There is always something to do. Even if I spend the day doing nothing but F5'ing I'm probably still enjoying myself. There is never any shortage of stuff to read, watch or play. I have a lot of hobbies. None of them involve leaving the house. That said, I'm not a hiki or a NEET because I can't hack being broke. I like to collect shit and that costs money.

I would highly recommend you do whatever it is you need to do to overcome the obstacles that are preventing you from leading a "normal" life, OP. People just gotta do what makes them happy, and it doesn't sound like the hiki NEET shit is working out for you. If anything, let is serve as a learning experience that as a person, you need more interaction in order to be truly happy. Then make sure to get that interaction in whatever outlets or ways that make you comfortable.

>What do you fags do all day if you don't have jobs or go to uni or leave your house? Doesn't the meaningless meandering of your life start to bother you after a few months/years?

Anon. I am extremely picky too. The slightest little thingie can make a girl lose all her allure in one instant.
You know what? I did find her. Every single day we chatted for hours, and every single day I was more and more amazed: she was exactly what I was looking for. It was too much of a fucking coincidence. Perfect personality, perfect looks.
But of course, you already know how it ended. "Best Friend is now in a relationship with Perfect Girl" -14984 likes.
Anon, pray. Pray so that you don't ever find that girl.

I can do you one better. My perfect girl swung for the other team.

Also, to the OP: I hold down a part-time job at my local library and am in my final year of college. I don't plan on contributing much, but I do plan on being self-sufficient enough. Don't shit on my hobbies.

Am I being trolled?

Yes, finding a girl who's cute, slightly socially awkward, shares some of your hobbies, likes cuddling and hadn't been a double stuffed oreo is simply beyond the realm of reality.

>"Best Friend is now in a relationship with Perfect Girl" -14984 likes

I don't understand this part. What does this mean? You were only seen as just a friend to her?

And you're lucky then, good for you. I'm not going out on a wild goose chase.

>>7765868
They may still exist in high school or something, but sooner or later someone will like them and they'll like that person back. Possibly out of insecurity, if they're socially awkward. "I'm 17 and I still haven't even held hands with a boy yet, and someone likes me that's not too bad..."

>>7765872
Pardon, my mistake. It's a Facebook message.
When two profiles agree to set a "relationship" (meaning boyfriend/girlfriend) link between them, a message with that format pops up on their public space. So what I saw was "[Name of my best friend] is now in a relationship with [Girl]".
The "likes" part is a small feature, you can "like" a message on other's profiles. So that means I saw the whole local community congratulating that lucky bastard.

Asian, average intelligence, somewhat shy, geeky, nice reading speed, emotional connection, cuddling, some time alone once in a while, not always partying, some kind of talent, little relationship experience, cute voice, frail physique, short, cosplays a little, decent taste in entertainment.

I fit about 2/3 of this. Just saying. There should be someone out there who matches more than me, so keep looking.

>>7765891
Looking where? It's not like they go outside much.

>>7765868

Let me guess the missing 1/3. You have penis.

>>7765868
You're forgetting she has to like you too, and you also have to compute the odds of staying together more than two weeks.
Sometimes it really seems like fucking rocket science. How do people do it?

>>7765891
You forgot the part where she has to not have any relationship experience. And if she has those traits, chances are she's got quite a lot of boys gawking at her and has most likely stuck hand in at least one or two cookie jars by her 20's, which is most likely anon's age.

>>7765902

This is now a /soc/ thread, or perhaps it always was.

There has to be some underlying... logic, or magic.
Damn, now I'm depressed again. I need to vent, I guess I'll call-
Oh, right, he must be sleeping soundly next to Perfect Girl A.

the way i'm sitting all the air from the fan is going up my shorts and hitting my dick. feels nice.

Lately all I've been doing is F5ing /jp/ and hitting the Surprise Me button on mangareader. I've read like 20 romcoms this month and only 5 of them were any good.

I don't know why I torture myself by reading this shit since it just makes me want a girlfriend even though I know it would be nothing like what I'm reading. It would be shitty and awkward and the girl would be an entitled whore like all 3DPD women, especially the females at my age since the stable and sane ones were all taken ages ago.

I'm getting kinda tired of AA and CM3D, though. Maybe I should go buy a bullet and rent a gun with the 5 bucks in my bank account. They're going to charge me 15 for having less than 20 in there at the end of the month, anyways. Fucking jews.

>>7765904
>How do people do it?

They don't. They spend their time together with someone they don't love, don't share hobbies with and then end up on the Jeremy Kyle show, telling their story about how they slept with their partners brother and some other guy, they don't know WHO the father of the two kids are.

But she loves him.

I hate society, if that's what counts for love these days, I'll happily stick to /jp/ over some shitty normal.

>>7765937
Don't you get uncomfortably cold and goosebumps with the air directly hitting your skin?

I have a blanket around me at all times to prevent that. And because I keep it around 60F in my room.

>>7765950

The thing is, monogamy goes against primal instincts. Apparently since we're a developed and intelligent species, we're supposed to settle for a single partner at some point for the rest of our lives. The whole "love" thing is just a chemical reaction understood as something more...and it's a really bad misunderstanding.

Pretty much, if RL was a VN, harem is the only good end...not like humanity will ever admit to such a thing.

>>7765972
Yeah, god forbid people resist their primal instincts. We should all just revert to apes and start fucking and killing everyone like we did in the wild. Just look at how happy niggers are.

Monogamous relationships are fine until you fuck up by having kids and begin to hate each other.

>>7765984

Primal instincts can be culled in any number of ways, some better than others. Thing is, most people assume humans are meant to mate for life or some bullshit, mostly due to society or religion, both of which have completely missed the mark in terms of pure science.

>>7765940
>>it just makes me want a girlfriend even though I know it would be nothing like what I'm reading. It would be shitty and awkward and the girl would be an entitled whore like all 3DPD women, especially the females at my age since the stable and sane ones were all taken ages ago.

What age?

Sometimes I think I should get a girlfriend too (turn 28 in January) but I don't really know anything about that kind of stuff. People always assume already I'm married for some reason, which just confuses me.

Maybe I'm just getting old or starting to look old. No major graying or thinning hair though yet. But I know it's coming soon.

>>7766010
Fuck science.

>>7766018
27, though I look like I'm 40 because I eat like shit and don't exercise and never get any sun and am always stressed even though I don't do shit all day. I'm actually stressed precisely because I don't do shit when I know I should be working. I just feel like I'm too far behind the curve to catch up in any field so I don't bother pursuing anything, which is just a positive feedback loop to keep me from getting anywhere.

Anyway, I don't know where I'm going with this so I'll shut up and go back to reading my crappy manga at 5AM.

>>7766010
Interesting how you mention science. How much reading have you done on the sexual practices of early humans? There's a wealth of evidence that early, pre-societal man, as well as some of our ancestors, practiced monogamy.

>>7766044
From a tripfag with !faget in his trip? None.

>>7766042
>>I just feel like I'm too far behind the curve to catch up in any field so I don't bother pursuing anything

Everyone feels like this in regards to something. Not really true in the end though, as life doesn't run on a set schedule.

"Just do what you gotta do" is all that matters really. So any age is a fine age to start working towards a new goal. But I'll stop too because this is probably crap everyone already knows.

Also, can you tell me the 5 good ones you read?

Nice dubx.

I was a NEET until I was 30, and it did bother me, every day. I thought about killing myself quite a bit. Ultimately I realized that if the options were suicide or getting out and having the life that I wanted, I was going to choose that life.

So I did.

You can do that too.

>>7766044
That's easy when you only live till the age of 15-20.

>>7765972
>The thing is, monogamy goes against primal instincts.

When humanity started concocting concepts such as love, they'd already out grown primal instincts.

If people want to sleep around, whatever, I don't particularly care. Cheapening a virtue that people would throw their lives away over rubs me the wrong way though.

Are you suggesting that 14-25 year olds aren't sleeping around in this day and age? Christ you're out of the loop if so.

>>7766249

>>7766273
I'm saying they had less opportunity. Considering the small tribes and difficulty to keep it secret and the likelihood of getting a justified club to the head if you take another's girlfriend.

All I ever wanted was a cute, shy girl with similar interests that never touched a penis before.
I don't think my standards are too high and yet I have never met anyone like this even back when I still left my house daily.

I've been a NEET for 2 or 3 years now, I can't even remember. It started when I dropped out of college and it's been spiraling out of control ever since. I've been getting out of the house slightly more lately(see maybe once or twice a month) since I quit playing MMO's but I still just waste all my time f5ing all day while watching anime or maybe playing a game.

The idea of having to have a job frightens me because I've never had one before and I'm turning 23 in a couple of months. I honestly wouldn't mind getting a job just to have something to do during the day but where the fuck can I even get a job when I'm not good at anything and have horrible people skills? My resume is nonexistent and I'd really rather not work retail because I hate people.

Not to mention I'm far too ugly to be working retail anyway, my only solace is that somehow even though I haven't been working out I'm down to 200lbs from 280 or whatever I was a few years back. I still have a huge beer belly though so I look like shit regardless, the only difference is that I can wear XL shirts now instead of XXL or XXXL

This thread after post 80 or so is fucking horrible. Facebook, bawww I can't get a girlfriend, underage, etc etc. Disgusting.

>>7766750
The thread died early on, I suspect only three or so people kept circlejerking about normal bullshit afterwards.

It's still vomit-inducing, however.

This is how a blog thread in /jp/ works:

1. Everybody flames OP for his shitty blog thread.
2. People start to participate.
3. People intermittently flame the participants.
4. Thread dies after being flooded by garbage. Occasional updates.
5. Everybody claims the participants were normalfags that need to get out of /jp/.
