Im like decent with my life right now. I am just trying really hard to find solace in the daily grind of working all day and having sore muscles on my days off.

I don't enjoy forcing myself to wake up extremely early just to have the freetime in the day before work to go out and do things with my life.

I really don't know what to do and what the answer is. I feel like a loser, cause I probably am.

I am trying really hard to have more energy all the time without the use of caffeine or substances, but I just can't.

I don't know man, my life is steady, but I just feel like a empty shell. I feel like my quality of living is always going to be terrible and I am always going to be tired and lonely.

What are some books about overcoming crippling self-hatred, depression, and loneliness, only to die in a car-accident after the life changing breakthrough.

Who fucking cares

It's really not hard to see that there will be a point in time where our efforts of "progression" will ultimately be futile. You can be into math all you want. Who gives a fuck? If that's what really satisfies you, go ahead.

If you really want to be virtuous, do what truly pleases you, without succumbing to the needs of society in whatever way you perceive it. If what you do is somehow beneficial, fine. If not? Fine. It is a mistake to be lead into doing something from any source other than your own soul. People look for retarded justification for fucking everything they do.

>spend hours writing something

>realize you were just pouring out all of your angst and frustration in shitty clunky prose that nobody cares about and nobody wants to read

>realize you will probably end up just being a failure anyways like everyone else and you were born in a low-class stupid family and you are a low-class stupid person who will never afford college

>look at closet that you stashed your loaded gun in.

A pseud dedicates his life to comfort and extremely scattered, as well as aimless studying on many different subjects that he happens to find or becomes interested in then goes to the next thing. He latches on to what he reads without making up his own mind and mimics tastes and opinions to inflate his own ego or to defend himself against others judgements.

An actual intellectual dedicates his entire life to one or only a very few disciplines and sharpens his mind off the intense hard work and dedication brought from studying these fields. Someone who has truly been taught, and has taught himself deeply on a subject, to the point where even if he isn't knowledgeable on every single subject he truly knows what it is like to be extremely knowledgeable on at least one. When you meet someone like this it totally comes off in the way they handle themselves in conversation or a debate.

I am a depressed 22 year old virgin NEET and I can tell you it's not society's fault that I was born weird and started developing self-esteem issues because I didn't fit in with a single group, thus rejecting any social embrace which could have kickstarted my life's plan into action. All current obstacles that I now face are all buried within my psyche and I must battle myself , my depression, and my habits.

I was just hoping we could get an actual discussion of Faust.
