>>It's not that, most of the time when I meet people that don't type with capitalization and punctuation I feel they are not worthy of my time. I don't know, it just makes me think they're either casual gamers (as most of the new people I meet play a game I play), boring assholes, or normalfags.

Just because there isn't only one philosophy doesn't mean there isn't only one correct philosophy, bro.

Any philosophy which involves acceptance of today's society is almost certainly wrong. I have never met a happy person with a job.

Nothing except for sleep.
The only person who I have ever truely loved broke up with me. We're still friends but it's just not the same.
My best friend is going to move away soon.
I don't ever really do anything out of the house anymore unless I'm pretty much forced to.
So ronery. ;_;
*curls up in a ball and sobs*
I don't even have a job to keep me occupied throughout the day and I haven't gone to college.
I'm absolutely hopeless. ;_;

How do you meet those people? I only meet people when they start going to our vent out of nowhere and play games with us. If they talk like retards, I'll have them banned, and if they type like retards (hasn't happened yet) I'd have them banned too.

That is to forget that stoicism never claimed that one shouldn't work. The point is that determinism is omnipresent and you cannot go against, and that you can only be happy by accomplishing your duty without whining about the events which don't suit you.
And to say that no working person can be happy is simply preposterous. I don't know what kind of people you have met, but I have never met an unemployed person that is content with their situation, while I have most certainly seen people who gladly go to work.

Old high school "friends" that keep harassing me and university work fellows, which are obligatory.

I'd say something nice like "Don't worry, you still have us" but that's not really true and it won't actually make you feel any better.

Do something to get your mind off how much your life sucks. Fap, play a game, read, anything.

I can safely discredit your entire post based on this alone.

Which doesn't necessarily mean they're happy, does it? In fact, they could be gladly going to work only because they've put themselves into a position where everything outside of work is even shittier. They could just be afraid of the consequences, so that the "happiness" is actually just a denial of a deep inner fear. Et cetera.

I believe after typing "I have never met a happy person with a job.", your credibility isn't at its heighest either.
Try being unemployed in a country without social security, we'll see if you can enjoy yourself.

"I'm happy because you wouldn't be under these specific circumstances!"

I'm sorry, what? Are you retarded?
