Escapism and self improooooovment are two freaks suffering from the same vice. And freaks are always tortured by vice because of their malformed health and minds. And they always wish to overcome it, some pitiable "personal struggle" they're working on lol. Like slaves trying to cure their mark they pray in vain to Asclepius. If I had to power to heal you I wouldn't even care lol. Anyways, both the escapist and self improoover are compulsively withdrawn from mundane life. Work and toil, seizing modest opportunities before they pass, and they avoid entrapping social obligations like joining a social group and like a nail sticking out hammering themselves in line to dumb custom and convention (which most people do because they're just as dumb lol), and they avoid committed relationships, "sowing their oats" with sloots at the appropriate age, and of course they probably will never marry and sire children. Wow the way I described life makes it seem lackluster and petty. Well, it is. Why does it hurt you so much? It makes me angry and makes me laugh. The idea of fearing it, or thinking yourself unworthy of a mediocre life. "I wish I thought television and Facebook thanos memes were cool too, oh god what's wrong with me???". Lmao, I'm such a big badass I just lie to normies if I have to, sometimes bite the bullet too. It isn't even an incredible thing to have both a body and soul in modern America, even if our situation seems insane to an outside observer.

Maybe improoovers will grow out of their insecurity, but probably not. Compare the similar vice of lacking basic sexual restraint usually caused by a lack of self control in general. One freak indulges in disgusting and dangerous sex acts, he finds "freedom" in letting the vice destroy him. The other freak makes sexual release and domestic romance and family life into an evil demon, he is truly good and sex and womanhood is a great dragon to be defeated by his great trial of enduring abstinence. For him self control is merely "self restraint" and is not well balanced nor does it come naturally. Every vice is some way of being stupid, clumsy, maladroit, born upside down, etc. And do not be fooled by these freaks and the display of integrity and shame they love to peacock. Just ignore them, don't even be nice and pretend to recognize or acknowledge if you don't have to. And thank you for reading this entire post champ, I wish I could pat you on the head for being so considerate and patient.

Pic related, example of natural vice. Bad physiology and neurosis. He even steals jokes from Sam Hyde. Imagine being Jewish and secretly admiring an open antisemite and stealing his creative material.

Wtf is w all the responses in this thread? NPCs be like:

>Thinking? Imagination? What's that?????

Just use your imagination, think of good stories and cool plots. Invent cool characters and concepts and write on what interests you.

Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein when she was just 18.

Good books on beauty? Is it subjective or objective?
