Okay I did.
I have to pay an application fee but when I asked my Mom she seemed happy and said she would pay half of it and let me use her credit card.
I was out today and sold some shitty Haganai and Haruhi Blu-Rays along with a Lupin III box set I never bothered to watch. I also got rid of ten volumes of Ruroni Kenshin that I hadn't read in almost a decade.
I only got $35 for selling everything but it felt cleansing to get rid of all of it since most of it was dumb impulse buys that I instantly regretted. However now I won't have to drain my entire savings just to pay to get into college.

I don't really have any more to say. Good bye /jp/ perhaps I might run into one of you in the 3D world in the future.

[Anonymous No.]

>>16592335
Well I don't know what is the equivalent in the U.S. but here in Canada they're just called colleges or trades schools. 4 year universities cost too much and are probably out of my league anyway since I haven't done much since I graduated high school.

Also my local college offers pretty much the same courses in some of the fields I want to explore but for 2 thousand dollars less in tuition.

I've also learned that the big CS courses have like 300 people in them and if you are able to dig a department schedule out of the trash you can just pretend to be a student and attend without having to pay $700 per course plus fees. Since software engineering is my failsafe I might keep doing that until someone notices and I get banned from campus

I'm done blogposting for now. I hope I haven't fallen for the university meme but I feel happy for the first time since like 2014

We all have different ways of dealing with, or avoiding, the utter shittiness of reality.

Some of us have no choice but to interact with reality to a certain minimum extent. Work a job, scrape by in uni, exercise to avoid a total collapse of one's health.

To deal with this we overlay our shitty realities with bits and pieces of fantasy to make them as tolerable as possible. Cover the walls of your bedroom in anime posters, spend free time shitposting, or so forth. I personally have a really cute piece of H art as my smartphone wallpaper. I hate having a smartphone but if I don't have one I'll fall behind since my boss gets mad if I don't respond to his e-mails within the hour. Being able to see a really cute girl with big suckable tits waiting to be deflowered is as much of a compromise as I can craft.

It can get worse, anon. A lot worse. When you develop chronic depression, you do literally nothing, all day. With all day to play your Steam library, you'll instead stare listlessly at your computer screen, randomly browsing 4chan, sometimes the same threads over and over, and at 9pm you'll look up and say "where the fuck did the day go?"

You'll buy games you never play, download anime you'll never watch and pirate ebooks you'll never read. You'll muse upon the Day of the Wizard, coming fast upon you, and wonder why you can't find a single rotten fuck to give about literally anything in life. You'll find yourself wishing that you could fall asleep and never wake up, thus ending the long, empty, lonely, pointless life you're doomed to live. In fact, you'll wish fervently that you'd never been born.

So play your games, anon, and don't feel bad.

Because it can get worse.

At least I'm in college, but everything's going horribly wrong. I don't know how much longer I can handle it. As soon as I get back to England, I need to find a job. I'll be in my late 20's by the time I have enough money to move out of my parents' house, but I have to keep in touch with family, and I'm horrible with that, because all I want to do is go back to bed the moment I get through the fucking front door and I can't be arsed to stay on facebook. What if my stepfather dies? Will his family still like me and my mother? What if it's my mother? Will my stepfather still call me his son? This goes through my mind every moment of the day.

This has basically been my existence (first two paragraphs) for a little more than four years

I had a small break last June but things slowly degraded and especially this past month I've done little but get mad online and gain weight

My parents know something is wrong but they won't really intervene until I officially fail university. As it stands I've been scraping along and doing the bare minimum though my professors are getting impatient and starting to push back.

Each fucking day I think to myself that tomorrow is going to be the day I set things right and then I wake up at 2 PM and the cycle repeats

Funny how I can change all of this by just doing a bunch of basic actions each day but every time I try and do something I get overcome with a bland feeling that most things I will do in life are worthless and just slide back into the path of least resistance

Who knows, maybe my nightmare will finally end on February 23, 2017

Usually more intelligent people tend to worry more because they either mull over the past and future, are overly self-conscious, or both. Basically, they can't stop thinking. This can lead to depression, anxiety disorders, and OCD. Most ignorant people constantly live in the moment and don't worry about consequences or constantly mull over the mistakes they've made. Maybe there is something to be learned from the stupid.

I was overcome with anxiety that led into a ten year bout of depression precisely because people kept telling me I was smart. I had potential. Was going to go far...somehow.
I really wish they hadn't. I wish that instead of enabling bad habits and backing them with encouraging platitudes, one of those mentors had just kicked my ass.
That instead of being left to discover my own path, they would have shoveled harsh lessons and practical realities at me.
Being told I was "smart" as a young kid left me constantly under the burden of losing that status if I took a chance on something I didn't know.
Being told I had absolute freedom left me drifting in the first leg of young adulthood. If the internet did't exist, I wouldn't even know how to file taxes or shave. And then all that drifting came crashing down when I started to hit social checkpoints with nothing to my name.
I'm 28 now; I've been browsing /jp/ since the /a/ split, and I'm a miserable wreck.
Around 25 I mostly got over the depression but in exchange I had to drop a lot of dreams and concede that I failed the game of life.
With only a GED and increasingly painful days I'm not certain that life is worth continuing, but I enjoy doing so anyway just to see what happens.

It was the opposite for me. I may not have been particularly intelligent, but everyone telling me I was boosted my confidence and helped me succeed. I probably wouldn't be as happy as I am now if not for all those chances I took just because I was overconfident. Being told I had potential helped motivate me to apply myself and take on challenges I might otherwise have shied away from, and even when I failed they often lead to new opportunities.
Don't let the pressure of expectations get to you. If you fail, it's better than never having tried - I know this from experience. If I were you I'd apply to a community college just for the hell of it - you'd be amazed at the life-restoring power of the clear goals and achievable standards of academia. Who knows, there might even be a satisfying career at the end of it.

Oh God this is precisely where I'm at in my life right now. I'm a fucking empty shell incapable of regulating his emotions properly because I never had any fucking proper guidance, everybody just assumed I was "smart" and left me alone to figure shit out for myself. I started browsing 4chan when I was 13, and haven't stopped. I never developed properly, I coasted on my natural talent and never formed proper studying habits, never forged a work ethic, never entertained ambitions beyond the most immediate of gratifications (sitting in bed all day jacking off to doujins).

Sorry for the overly long post, but I find myself slipping into a similar position. University is on summer break and without a job or the motivation to apply, being declined for lack of experience.

My motivation and grades are slipping and i cant even see the point in doing the dishes or cleaning much anymore. I live in a mess, and days just seem to pass me by. Without uni, i seem to have nothing that keeps me going. For me it seems the trick is just to have or make something productive to do that will get you out to start off, and keep rolling from there.

Doesn't the smell bother you?

[Anonymous No.]

>>16622882
You should at least keep your house clean. Waking up to the smell of left over food and the sight of a messy room will only make you feel worse. Dirty house -> feel shit -> no will to clean -> dirtier house -> feel shittier etc. Break the cycle. It will provide a nicer atmosphere which will probably stop your motivation from slipping any further. And you're still playing games and reading, so at least you're doing something. Directing that will unto something productive should at least become easier once you clean your living space.

Finding something productive to do, that's difficult. It's pretty obvious that 4chan is the root of my problems, but I just can't find it in me to leave. I grew up on here, and am afraid to leave for that very reason. I woke up at 2pm, went out (for the first time in a few weeks) today to a restaurant and for a drink with my dad, and only got home at 9pm. I came home and actually had some motivation to watch anime, so I did that for a few hours. I didn't feel like shit for once in a while. As soon as I opened 4chan I found that all of my motivation was gone and I was back to complete apathy. I was planning to read a VN after browsing for an hour or so, but I just couldn't find the will to do it. I just didn't feel like it at all. I can't browse 4chan and then enjoy any sort of hobby at the same time. It's like this site kills motivation.

And this is the problem: it's like I'm not myself without this website, and that leaving it behind will be me leaving a large part of myself behind, and I'm afraid to do that. I will lose myself if I quit, but I suppose that would be a sort of rebirth for the better. I'm applying for uni this year so perhaps this will be the year in which I change.


But now that I'm finished writing this blogpost/essay, I suddenly feel like reading the VN again. I was writing for the past 30 minutes non-stop, because I'm autistic about structure and clarity, and quality of my posts. I did put quite some effort into this, and thinking it through. It's almost like writing this reply had the same effect as going out with my dad? Maybe the source isn't 4chan in its entirety, but just aimless browsing. Maybe it's those things that I don't have to put any effort into that cause me to become depressive, and those things that require some sort of effort put me out of it? Or maybe I'm just imagining causation out of some vague correlation.

I don't know, but writing this essay was a sort of self reflection, and I feel that it helped me a bit. You guys should try some self reflection, and I will too. It'll be best to find the specific root of our problems rather some ambiguous one, as I did in the beginning of paragraph two. Maybe 4chan isn't so bad, I don't know. I'll think about it.

Thanks for your post. I can relate.

>And this is the problem: it's like I'm not myself without this website, and that leaving it behind will be me leaving a large part of myself behind, and I'm afraid to do that.

Same. I have spent at least 10 years here. I was practically raised by this site.

All of my teenage/adult memories and experiences come from here. If I became a millionaire, I would remain here 24/7. I also understand that spending so much time here is hurting me and keeping me down.

I have tried to quit, but my brain has memorized the 4chan posting style. When I see anything IRL I can see all the replies that I would get from posting it here. It's like an earworm.

This happens when I try to draw or write too. It's very toxic. But honestly I wouldn't know what to draw would I do if this site disappeared. I would probably kill myself (for real, not the witty ironic internet comment). I don't think I can relate to anyone else.

I think you have a point. Browsing the board aimlessly puts me into a zombie state, similar to watching TV/Youtube or playing action video-games. It's very easy to get into but very hard to get out. I usually only manage to get out when I feel like there's something important that I need to do right away, like when there's a deadline for an assignment coming up or when the floor is so dirty that gunk gets all over the bottom of my feet whenever I walk. Unless there's some sort of crisis, it's too tempting to think "Oh I still have time," and waste it all by being in the zombie state.

Me too. Even when I'm trying to do something else I feel like I have to come back and check if there are any new posts. But at least I think realizing this is the first step to recovering. I'm trying to catch myself in the act of mindlessly browsing for hours.

It's a really bad habit because rather than my parents raising me as a teenager it was 4chan. I am way above legal age now but it's still ingrained in me to this day. I'll probably get banned for that but maybe it's for the best.

I'm like you. One of the most crushing things I had to deal with last year was failing 3 of the 4 papers I took for a semester, and finding out that the paper that I was most passionate about, studied the most for and had gotten tuition for was the one I did the worst in. While the other paper of the same subject that I failed was remarkably easy, but I still didn't know what I was doing well enough because I put all my effort into preparing for the other one. Now I'm having to switch major.

Hi, I'm the guy who tried to quit the Internet for six months back in June and ending in December.

Without reposting my whole story, I can say that quitting /jp/ can indeed give you an opportunity to change your life. When I use /jp/ it's almost always for hours on end, to the point where I sometimes put off basic chores until the very end of the day and go to bed at like 6 AM even though I have to go to uni.

With that being said, for me quitting didn't necessarily help, in many cases it just meant that I traded one vice for another. Instead of being a 4chan zombie I went outside and wandered around the city a whole lot. I had to schedule basic tasks for me to do, although when I stayed off the Internet it was easier to sit down and focus on a task and do it.

Most importantly though, what also happened was that I no longer had 4chan to numb me to everything going on around me. I remember that I started habitually browsing 4chan when my family situation started going down hill,and I found it a lot harder to deal with these and other personal problems without 4chan as a psychological painkiller. However this might be good, since it'll allow you to address and hopefully treat these problems rather than simply coping with them.

If you choose to do this (I personally am trying to quit again, as I have relapsed since December) then I recommend:
- Store lots of porn on your hard drive, you will easily get bored of looking at the same few pictures and going online just to fap is the easiest way of getting sucked back in to this time waster
- Tally up all of your backlog, and also see if there's any other big media you want to consume but just haven't gotten around to downloading. Write up a list and use some of the time you've reclaimed from 4chan to pick away at it
- If you are having trouble sticking to this, consider physically restricting yourself from the Internet by abandoning devices during work, unplugging your router, or working in public where everyone can see what's on your screen
- Set a reasonable trial goal (2 weeks) and keep extending that goal if you enjoy doing this or find that it brings results

Anyways, >>16616715, please listen to me. That it's really related to this thread.
I went to /jp/ a while ago; you know, /jp/?
Well anyways there was an insane number of people posting there, and I couldn't get in.
Then, I looked at the banner hanging from the ceiling, and it had "Otaku Culture" written on it.
Oh, the stupidity. Those idiots.
You, don't come to /jp/ just because it's Otaku Culture, fool.
It's only Otaku Culture, O-T-A-K-U CULTURE for crying out loud.
There're even entire families here. Family of 4, all out for some /jp/, huh? How fucking nice.
"Alright, daddy's gonna reply to this troll." God I can't bear to watch.
You people, I'll give you Otaku Culture if you get out of those seats.
Yosinoya should be a TRU NEET place.
That tense atmosphere, where two guys on opposite sides of the computer screen can start an e-fight at any time,
the stab-or-be-stabbed mentality, that's what's great about this place.
Women and children should screw off and stay home.
Anyways, I was about to start posting, and then the bastard beside me goes "extra-shitty, with currybutt."
Who in the world orders currybutt nowadays, you moron?
I want to ask him, "do you REALLY want to eat it with currybutt?"
I want to interrogate him. I want to interrogate him for roughly an hour.
Are you sure you don't just want to try saying "currybutt"?
Coming from a /jp/ TRU NEET such as myself, the latest trend among us vets is this, extra hoop-dog.
That's right, extra hoop-dog. This is the vet's way of eating.
Extra hoop-dog means more hoop-dog than currybutt. But on the other hand the quality is a tad higher. This is the key.
And then, it's delicious. This is unbeatable.
However, if you order this then there is danger that you'll be marked by Suigin from next time on; it's a double-edged sword.
I can't recommend it to normalfags.
What this all really means, though, is that you, >>16616715, should just stick with today's 2hu thread.

I've come to a similar conclusion, unrestricted access to image boards is a vice unlike any other.
I went away for the weekend and managed to read 120 pages of pretty dense material over the two days and felt much better simply relaxing in the sun. At home I'm lucky to manage 10 pages each day.
I managed to be productive simply because there was nothing else to really do. At the moment reading is basically my only hobby that doesn't involve computers, but I'm sure that I would pick up some new ones simply out of boredom if I was forced to.
