Because I survived the fire.

By the time I discovered his sensationalist ramblings online, I’d already come out of several severe crises in my life. Trials of health, of violence, of abuse, and hardship. I was almost killed by the incompetence of a physician and his surrounding practitioners. I had to rebuild my body and mind. I did years of physical therapy just to be able to walk again and worked on myself to get over the psychological trauma and anger with professional help. These were events that I was able to somehow recover from terrible things, and they provided an opportunity for self-awareness and learning which led to self-improvement and a newfound focus, and a recognition that you only have one shot at a good and meaningful life.
So by the time I found Jordan Peterson, I understood how shallow he is. I could see that he is trying to communicate things to uninjured young men that can only be learned through the violence of exposure to a hostile world, and that he peddles his goods through chewed up bits of philosophy, the filtered and neutered thoughts of greater men, edited together to suit his narrative. His is an excellent rhetorician, but plainly communicates his misunderstanding of philosophy in how he constrains and edits it.

By the time I stumbled across Jordan Peterson, life had already shown me what he has to say, and with greater depth and meaning no less.

well now that i think about it the go-getter seems like a prerequisite to the ubermensch.

You guys are fucking nerds. Low enough to be non-autist, high enough to be non-normie.

Any books for improving shitty personalities and socializing skills?

>be me
>get psychological analysis
>low self-esteem
>high difficculty to socialize
>anxious
>hostile
>impulsive
>can't cope with stressful situations

It's not like I wasn't aware of it. I have been trying to overcome tis shitty personality for years. I got some friends, and I perform my job pretty well, even though it demands a lot of the skills I don't have fro granted.

I have decided it is time to get some help. I am looking for a therapist -although I doubt it's that severe. Does /lit/ have any book recommendations for me? If there is something this board has it is the vast amount of knowledge we can put together, so we can recommend each other books.

What are some good books for young college grads who want to figure out their future?

/his/ /lit/ /fit/ /fa/ /diy/ and /tv/
>whats small board you recommend?
I highly recommend /diy/ nobody really goes there's but its lots of smart, nice people working with their hands and applying real skills and knowledge. Youll also get the rare guy who wants help to set up hydroponics for his """100% legal, seasonal fruits and veggies farm""" that everyone just makes fun of.

OP, I was in your situation after quitting writing for three years due to depression, drug addiction, and subsequent sobriety and withdrawal. My brain felt very dull and empty--I was nowhere near as creative as I was at my peak and didn't have the energy to do anything. I also lost my inner monologue for almost a year.

Since then, I've started living healthier, being more active, browsing the internet less (this destroys your attention span and conditions your brain into passive consumption mode rather than active creation mode), reading again, and, slowly, writing again. I'm content for the first time since I was a kid. My imagination is gradually coming back to me and my prose has actually improved and matured over my hiatus and become a little less self-indulgent. The whole "eccentric troubled artist" phase in the brief window after you become fucked-up but are still able to channel that pain outwardly is creative dimes while it lasts but it is by nature short-lived and unsustainable and it will probably drive you to suicide or drug addiction like it did me, and then you won't be able to write shit. If you want to unJUST your writing, you're going to have to start unJUSTing yourself.

>~30 days into nofap (after 5 years on nofap)
>I have no sexual urges
>Couldn't even get myself to fap if I wanted
>Still happy that I'm not consuming degenerate and disgusting material all day
>My mind feels calmer, less stressed out and less anxious, knowing that I haven't watched P
>The feeling of guilt I experiences on the daily whenever I fapped is almost completely gone
>But still no sexual urges :/

I probably have more experience trying nofap than most people. If anyone wants some advice, feel free to ask.
