How do I stop this? What books will help? It feels awful. I have memories of myself over a year ago telling myself that I'd start working hard on the next day.

I have never been emotionally close to a member of the opposite sex since. I am 52 years old, and may very well die alone.

For the past 6 months since I finished university i have done nothing but procrastinate while browsing 4chan a tonne and drinking too much coffee and having junk food almost everyday while telling myself that it's the last time I'll have it.

I have concrete goals (learning programing) but I can't decide on what sort of work system to do. Work all day? Work for 9 hours per day? Work on one thing until I finish it? I also worry that even having a schedule or system is like I'm cucking myself by making myself worry. I should do everything without any sort of sytem.

What is your opinion? Have you had any of these feels?

I believe I have discovered what Post-Modernism is.

It's people saying "lulz, I can fucking do that", and they proceed to due a simple paint-by-number deal that leads them to taken a five step process and then just pouring a lot of shit on it. Literally. Gravity's Rainbow is COVERED in shit.
