I recently started dating the most beautiful and sweetest girl I've ever met. Basically she is perfect in my eyes but now I've suddenly gotten this feeling that I don't deserve her. I have also got little experience in intimacy and I am still a virgin. Can't really get hard enough to have sex with her, sometimes I can't even get it hard. Tldr; my insecurities are killing my boners and the ability to love

I like sleeping.
sleepy
I like dreaming about walking on tracks that lead to big rocks, sand, shrubs, bigger rocks and big rocks on top of big rocks red rocks and mountains and rocks, rocks that continue on like I'm walking on an infinite plane full of rocks that stretches out forever it is big.
If I can have a dream where I'm a girl version of me instead of a boy version like I look like physically and I can walk on this track I will be very pleased with my mind who did some good work
I wish my dreams lasted forever, real life is too difficult for me but I like sleeping.

Only now I start realizing the consequences of my acts. Only 2 or 3 years after. It's hard to accept they were the reason I'm like this, but that's the conclusion I've come to.
It's so rooted on my instincts and personality, I can't figure out how to at least remember how I was before that -years, after all, don't pass by as fast I think they do.
What did I feel? What were my reasons? Did I even need reasons? Was I happy? I only have sad memories (or at least, non-happy memories). Not because I didn't have happy moments, but because somehow I forget about them. It's like putting a teaspoon of a sugar that doesn't sweeten on hot water; a drop of transparent ink on a lake; killing an ant.
Whatever. I now can analyze a bit better my reactions. Still, why does my memory shun happiness?

Here I stand at the edge of oblivion, ready to dive in headfirst. Before me lies the abyss, from which all has come and all will go. To there I will go, and from which will hopefully never return. No longer shall I dwell among the company of the living, those who call themselves righteous or just. Least of all do I wish to keep company with those who claim to know God. I care not for God, but he certainly knows how I despise his followers, the zealous and the suicidal. So now I go where none of them dwell, beyond the heights of heaven and the depths of hell.

Currently in my bedroom listening To Be Kind by Swans for the first time, specifically I'm on track 6, "She Loves Us". Gira is screaming "Your name is fuck! (Hallelujah! Hallelujah!)" and I'm enjoying it.

Also I need a job, I'm running low on cash.Thinking about selling everything I own to moving to NYC and find a job there. I mean I only live about an hour and a half away via train/car. Starting a noise rock band is something I'd like to do even though I've never played an instrument seriously, unless you count when I played the drums for about 2 years in middle school. I fucking hate the winter and really want to move out west, California would be nice but not having a college degree or a job doesnt really help me in anyway.

In the 26 years I've been alive I have never had a girlfriend, luckily i have had sex multiple times and I'm not a total autist otherwise I would've off myself a while ago.

I've been reading more often lately and as soon as I'm finished with the two books Im reading I'll start Moby Dick and hopefully power through that but not to hard as I know reading isn't a race. Anyway I have Don Quixote waiting for me at the end of Moby Dick which is a thick ass book. Speakeing of thick books I got about 200 pages in to Atlas Shrugged and dropped because I found Ayn Rand's writing to be repetitive, although I'll admit she can write a great sex scene. To this day, the funniest book I've read is Confederacy of Dunces.

Just by going to youtube and looking for a song by Ryuichi Sakamoto, somehow it came to my knowledge that Louis CK has some kinda sex scandal thing

I thought I could avoid useless knowledge like this by using only the internet, and only searching for the specific thing I want to know about and nothing else

But I guess not, not youtube anyways
I worry that just using google or youtube will keep my brain filled with useless information about whatever

For that matter so will 4chan
I don't want my mind to be polluted by useless information
Next week some guy is going to gun down a bunch of people in X state
I don't care, it won't affect me. If it does affect me then I'll be dead, and good. I want to read what I want to read, listen to what I want to listen to. Most things people read and listen to are anathema to the soul. I don't want any part of it. There is nothing worth "keeping up with". That is the idiot's past time. To keep up with things. The universe is eternal and archetypal. To know deeply is true new-ness. Not superficial nonsense about whatever. I don't care what war the U.S. gets embroiled in, what stupid policy is being put into law. Those things will dissolve soon enough. They aren't beautiful enough to be sustained for a long period. The foundations of the things people hold sacred were invented by scared heathens. Heathens in the broad sense, not any specific theology.

It is impressive, how much people put up with.
Only in proportion to an immense fear can people put up with a life so dry and void of passion. That fear is the ubiquity of loneliness anyone can sense once they step a mere foot beyond their front door. The world is not a community, it is a collection of strangers, all competing. You may win the lottery and gain the love of a compassionate stranger here and there, but the world outside your door is indifferent. Have you ever had to spend time outside without a house? You're not allowed to be anywhere. That is called "loitering" or "trespassing". The society is structured that all who don't play its stupid game become ostracized and ridiculed. It is that insecure about its own principles that it must ridicule all others who deny it vehemently, to such a degree as to exact force, omnipresent as police, to "remove undesirables".

We are living in hell, and very few are aware. Use your creativity a bit. What would make actual hell all the more hellish? If by some horrid conspiracy, you were always depressed and hated life, but you felt it was only your fault, that there was really something terribly wrong with just you, and not the world. That would be an even more hell than hell. And thus we have it. We think the world is alright, and we are somehow wrong for being incapable to adapt to its hellish programs.

A love letter

When I write, I tend to use flowery language when I describe the world, but when it comes to you I just have to be more authentic, because that’s the way you are. I have to speak from my heart, because that’s where you live. You are what I call Home. I find myself able to communicate with you far better than anyone else I’ve ever met, and I just feel at peace when I’m with you. You’re awkward in the same way I am but it just makes you that much more adorable. It’s such an endearing quality. You know the world I come from, and I know yours, and in that way we have a place to ourselves, our own secret hideaway to carry within each other’s hearts no matter where we go, and it just makes me love you more. You’re someone who gets me, and I know that I get you. I love that you are the only person in earth I feel happy to be vulnerable with, and how the two of us revel in that mutual weakness together. I know you’ve had a rough time of things, that you’ve been chewed up and spit out, a survivor with unique perspective like me. I’m so glad we each understand that because it only makes things better, better because I can actually hold you tighty as you grip me back, knowing in our hearts that what we have is a miracle. We won, and we are still here. You are strong, and brave, and tough as nails, and it just makes you that much more attractive to me. You’re so thoughtful and conscious and you’ve got this tremendous inner world swirling around inside of you and I find myself drawn into it willingly. In that way, you’re the type of person I could never stop exploring. When I first met you, I was terribly injured, coming out of that long winter road I’d been forced to walk by myself. I was cynical, I was finished with everything in the worst way possible, but then somehow you fell into my life, picked me up and dusted me off. You showed me that another human being could believe that I was beautiful too, that there was something of value within me, and that I could learn believe that about myself as well. You showed me that life could be made warm and beautiful, and full of joy again.

You are an angel, an actual angel and I love you more than words can express, you funny and beautiful, fiery and adventurous little woman. I don’t care how stereotypical it is, you are my best friend.

I just can't get over the fact of how important everyone seems to consider themselves in society. We're nothing. We're aimless, confused, illusioned creatures just fucking wandering around without any purpose (other than propagation and self preservation) not unlike really any other animal on this planet yet because we can derive meaning from our environment we seem to think of ourselves as meant for something greater. In reality we're no different from an ant or a fly, just as they live and die in an instant without any true impact in something greater we too just live and die, though it is our intelligence that tries to over rationalize this in an attempt to comfort us. With all of this I just can't help but feel how pointless all this is and feels, I feel like I'm in some type of fucked up game or story or something and everyone is trying to their best to stay immersed but I myself have just completely dissociated with it. There is nothing for us here and it makes me feel bad.

I feel like the workaround for this kind of thinking is to see yourself as a part of a larger whole, that there’s a slight possibility you play a minute role in advancing human civilization towards a state where through science and technology, peeling back the veil of our universe, that we can truly transcend the issues you speak of, that we can reach a point where we can alter our existence in such a way that it breaks all of th established rules, that philosophy becomes irrelevant and meaningless. Perhaps it is our awareness of this possibility and the potential of its existence through ya that separates us from the rest of the animals.

Do you guys ever wonder what life will be like in the future? I personally do not believe in an afterlife, but i so desperately want to. I despise being bored, and the thouht of nothingness produces a black hole i can only satisfy with dark humor and shitty memes.
I jerk off so much that my endurance is almost unquenchable, and i can outlast my girlfriend almost twofold.
Life seems boring, yet i disrtact myself with the same meaningless games,books, people.

It's been almost a full year now since I last felt a real emotion. I was listening to some music, and it felt important. Like something mattered. Looking back, some of the best experiences I've had in my life so far were through visual novels. Those feelings of love, friendship - art can't come close. Not at all. If I could only enjoy VNs and music, I'd be happy.

But I can't. Something's wrong with my head, and the pills aren't working. I promise I'm still thinking straight - but perhaps that's the sad part.

As a young student I unintentionally built a reputation of being a model student thorugh getting in two selective highschools. I have always been a cheeky fella but last 3 years have been seriously dull. Ive taken few risks and apathetic when i am at an age in which I need to be doing the opposite.

Whats worse is that at uni many people are from my highschool because most students in my highschool do quite well in final exams like myself and move to the top unis in my country which I am currently attending. This not only means that my uni life and the people I tend to meet and social circles and attitudes are similar to uni but I have strangely become a slave or dependent on the expectations and norms of my highschool community.

This is all confusing without context but basically I am living a life which is stereotypical and unoriginal. I am living a life expected of me and most painfully I seek to conform .

At this point I think I'm a functioning alcoholic. My only saving grace is that self-reflection is basically my super power. Problem: I'm suffering from depression, so I can't actually bring myself to care to control myself.

I'm lonely, I'm depressed and I'm too tired to be pissed.

I'm honestly a good person- I'm fucked up, but I'm a good person. I don't want people to hurt, or suffer, but I'm also aware that people are stupid and I'm sick of it.

Just... leave people alone. I mean, I get it. I understand, logically, most people. I get why people are homophobic, or racist, or against immigration. It usually comes down to change scary different mmmbad, which I get it. I do. Sometimes, I'll even agree that regulations should be put in place. I'm not a hippy liberal. I understand the importance of rules in a complex system.

It's just- who cares? I can't understand how people can scratch together the vitriol to actively make other people's lives more difficult, rather than just accepting that you don't understand and that's fine. They're other. Let them be other over there and leave them alone.

I don't understand how people can't recognize that the general public doesn't know shit, that there are people in power actively trying to abuse their power. I don't-

Everything's fucking awful, everything's scary and none of us know what the fuck we're doing, but that doesn't mean we have to be mean to each other.

Yeah. I know that, too. I know how that translates to being mean to others, too. I just don't know why. There's so much better things to do.

And I guess they must, but how do people feel better about themselves that way? It has to be there, right? Even if I do something actually productive, I still think I'm an irredeemable loser. How do people make themselves feel better just by putting others down?

I have attempted, never really tried, suicide multiple times. I can't off myself, the universe seems against it. So I tried running away from my problems. Packed up, pointed at a direction and walked. I had this romanticized idea. Maybe I'd meet a dog and we become traveling pals or something. I pissed my pants and slept in cold rain the first night. Couldn't take it the second night cause I'm a fucking whimpering pussy, and just went home.

I like living. I hate feeling like I don't. I don't know what to do anymore. I think I am dead now.

I betrayed everyone's trust. All the secrets and lies piled up now are crushing me. I might be in jail by tomorrow for years and years.

What am I supposed to do? I have one option now, live. You know, out shine all the stars. Because you are either the brightest or you take them all out. That I simply can't do.

So I'll sit here.

He's wrong though.

Loving yourself is fucking hard, and turning your insecurities into some kind of internal ultimatum is a good way to hate yourself or other people.

I've said this before, and I'll say this again. Communication is the most important part of any relationship. Everyone feels insecure, and a lot of people feel crippling insecurity. Sit your girl down and explain to her how you feel. Encourage her to tell you how she feels.

Feeling insecure but not telling your partner will fuck up a relationship real quick. You'll get weird and she won't know why, because you didn't tell her.

I don't know either of you, so I can't say how much you should throw out there at once, but feel your way up towards that, if you're even insecure about that. That's fine too.

Say you're insecure, but you don't really want to talk about it because you feel like it's stupid. Or something like that. Watch netflix and order pizza. Tell her you want to do right by her, but you don't know the best way to go about it.

TALK TO HER.

I believe I'm a good person in the sense that I don't want to see people hurting. I do try to apply that kind of thing to my everyday life. I try to listen to people, I try to treat everyone well. I give money when I have the means to do so, and donate when I can.

"good" is both belief and action where you can. Sometimes it's helping at a soup kitchen on weekends. Sometimes it's seeing a stranger fall down, and helping them pick up their stuff. Sometimes it's just asking someone if they're okay.

The thing is- I think people are inherently good- I do! But it's... hard. Perfect strangers will work together to help someone who obviously needs help, but if a person has depression...

I often feel bad that I'm not doing enough, but I try to do what I can. Sometimes I can do more. Sometimes all I can do is smile at service workers, even if they're rude.

It's not that I believe in hurting yourself for others, because I don't. I believe everyone reserves the right to focus on themselves, but if you feel good, and have some extra money or time, then yeah.

You just... try. And yeah, you fuck up sometimes, but if you can recognize that, you can do better.

A former school teacher who introduced me into creative writing is being accused for sexual harassment. Poor guy, he is getting a lot of shit from social media.
I don't really care too much about his case because is none of my business, but he used to post one daily exercise of what he called "literary gym" which I try to do every day since September. After the accusations he stopped doing it completely.

At best, if you're in your 20's, you /might/ have 600 months left to live in good enough health to be competently functional at the things you like/appreciate in life.

It is entertainment if you read it for entertainment.

On the other hand, you could read it as it is: stories that came from the minds of people who have experienced lives different from your own, full of breadcrumbs leading to the way the author may have felt about their family, an old lover, or their days in school. Their style is a cumulative syncretism(?) of their time period, their education, their intelligence, emotions, and even their frigging breakfast.

You could say it's "only" entertainment, or you could look through a combined assortment of anthropological and psychological lenses, leaning a little deeper into yourself and the rest of humanity. Perhaps you'll learn something on your travels inward.

I think that deep down everyone has that spark that calls to them to be great, but the lengths and suffering that come from this is something that not everyone can go through. Of course it's not in the nature of everyone to have the strenght to endure that either.

The world we are living is exhausting and requires many people to get to either the highest of human values or the lowest of them in order to be recognized or inspire others, since it's not enough to be above average. We have to compete with a system that has so many distractions and were people are out there trying to obfuscate others so much that in the end I think most give up, and that's senseful for the most part.

I don't think that many people who are midway to greatness realize it, it's only when they reach it that others mention it. I don't think Goethe or Napoleon realized they were great men until they were near the top. Narcisim might be the number one enemy of our times.

I'll mull your point anon, but I am much younger than that, and WoW is presently nowhere near as grindy as you think it was. Everybody I've asked alleges that taking a character to the maximum level (now 110 without the latest expansion) takes a total of 8-10 hours, which can take a weekend playing temperately. I would maybe max a few toons while consuming some audiobooks and then hopefully get bored and resume my reading, assuming I even stop reading at all

But it's this thinking I'm nervous will lead me to lapsing into overplay again. I used to play Runescape which is possibly the grindiest popular MMO trafficked in the west, I am recurrently addicted to skinner boxes

I find it hard to believe how dopamine addicted our society is. I quit social media/reddit a few days ago and only spend about 15 minutes/day on 4chan. My attention span and motivation have already increased immensely. Dopamine addiction is in my opinion one of the biggest causes of depression, we find ourselves mindlessly browsing or scrolling websites, clicking on popups and whatnot. No wonder most people can't even read more than 10 pages in a single sitting now, nothing really satisfies you anymore when you're desentisized to everything that isn't porn or social media with it's pop up sounds. If any of you reading this struggle with lethargy and depression, take a close look at your internet habits and try to change them. Not saying that it will help, but it could be a source and will most likely be a factor in your mood. Most people I know that are depressed also spend their days like this, because it's easy, just a quick dopamine fix. Don't be one of them.

Well if you're not chasing money, then it makes it all the easier for "maximizing" your life, although what your maximizing and my maximizing is much different. To solve your bloated schedule problem, I would suggest sitting down and taking a very long time to organize and collect your thoughts.

If you want confirmation, I can't genuinely give it to you, as I have never met you, but it seems like you've been through hell already, so why stop now?

I have this chord progres sion -- on my acoustic Yamaha -- that just won't ring out right, I mean, it goes tang tang, tingling tang, dang dang, and something like a dum (muted) dum (slightly les s muted) and a sort of arpeg gio on the last tingling to bring it back, but the tingling does not work twice, that is, when I repeat the progres sion the tingling of an arpeg gio sounds much worse and this is not just because of the repeating of the progres sion, because the weird thing is that it sounds alright again on the third turn around, and that makes me wonder how that is so, how can a chord progres sion not sound weird the first time around, then sound weird on the second go, and then, finall y, on the third go sound alright again and even interesting insofar as it allows itself from being a third repetition within a span of something like thirty-six seconds -- and all things considered, disregarding the chord progres sion as a whole, my problem has expanded itself into every other daily thing I have to do more than once, so, for example, when I spo on my oatmeal cereals in the mid-mornings (admit tedly, almost no on, the sun takes a slow rise into thick covers of clouds these days, very autumnal) the second spo onful of the go oey mas s, well, I have to put it down, it does not want to enter my mouth so I put it back into the bowl with the rest of the oatmeal to once again dig into it and bring the third spo onful up to my mouth and it goes in, it takes to the tongue to leave the spo on free of oatmeal -- only a slight clanging of te eth against the metal (I despise the sound in others when they bite into the spo on completely unconscious of the act) -- and if it was only when playing my acoustic Yamaha Western guitar and eating oatmeal in the late mid-mornings, I could cope with the inconvenient nature of it all, but when it extends into my every action throughout the day, I am now very conscious of every single action that I take that -- in the case of repetitions -- I should have a second and third op portunities, I have to take account of that, and sometimes I write it down, like I am currently doing (and it bears me great pain to write words like let ter where there's a reocur ring let ter, because I think of it al l the time)

Dear European whites. And I specify "whites," because, whatever you say about le 56%, you're on the same path, except you're disarmed. You have no recourse. Do you really think you're getting your women un-raped, or your country un-Islamized, by dogpiling on other whites who are being subjected to the same thing that's making
your people into a Smithsonian exhibit 20 years from now? There's a reason the 56% thing exists, and it's the same reason your countries are turning into rape-a-paloozas, why London has a Muslim mayor, why Germany's chancellor keeps letting in thousands of jihadis, etc. You think you're somehow winning with this? You fucking
dolts, you're all equally as fucked as any of us, and instead of weeding out the root cause, you turn on your OWN. My fiancee was right when she said not all whites deserve to live. You're WORSE than race traitors and
coalburners, you know the TRUTH and use it to do what? Wage bizarro pissing contests to see who's the most cucked? Laugh at one another while your entire race across the world slides into oblivion? Good job, you're really
"redpilled," except you're too chickenshit to organize and rise up as a people to preserve yourselves, and feel safer taking potshots at each other than deconstructing the ZOG you bemoan here 24/7. 56% here should alarm you, not tickle you. We're at this point WITH firearms. Where do you see yourselves in a few decades without them? The time for fratricide and subverting ourselves was over a long time ago. Now it's too late.

This is it. This is as far as I go; I can't keep up with you. Don't wait for me -our paths intersected once, but they won't meet a second time. I'm walking towards the emptiness. Vertigo. I'm walking and there is no floor to step on; no air to breath in; no place to look at; only stillness. Sometimes I see the faults of this perfect design (which only erratics recognize) but it doesn't last. It just doesn't last, it doesn't make any sense.
And I'm still walking. Walking in a maze. A labyrinth made of words, made of gazes and implicitness, and made of you. It feels as if I'm still outside it -on that beautiful door some people call desire, just gazing at the shadows of your corridors- but I know this to be a delusion. I'll try to turn left on every corner -they say this way you can get to the center of any labyrinth.

I dreamt of her again a few nights ago. For a reason or another I was suppose to go visit my parents back home and once I got off the bus I realized that I've forgotten something. Without a second thought I tried to follow the bus up the hill and ended in one of Kafka's attics but devoided of clearks and beurocrats. Just wooden stairs and the tiles from the roof. She was standing in the middle and every time I got closer she would inch away, ever so slightly, awkwardly as my presence would somehow embaress her. I reached my claw like hands but couldn't touch her and then as suddenly as I got in the attic I had woken.

Me too. Dyphenhydramine is no joke, really. I had to take it because of poison ivy one time (I break out in hives for days not the normal blisters and stuff) and I've been taking it to go to sleep for four years now.

Admittedly, I've really slowed down my consumption. Used to take three or four a night and shake and shiver because of the muscle spasms driving me crazy. Now it's better. I couldn't imagine taking a ton at a time. Your muscles feel like they're insanely restless and you just need to rub them.

Each time I've tried to completely go off them I suffer withdrawal symptoms. It's crazy.

I became fevered and chilled. I thought I was just sick and overworked. A strange light entered my room at an angle that I believed at the time must have been the moon. But it frightened me because it was so bright and because of how it seemed to move up and down while slightly changing the angle so that it shown on my wall and dresser. The light also faded and grew in intensity, which I assumed was clouds passing by the moon. At the time I was too exhausted to check what the source of this light was and all I could do was try to dismiss the fear that it was not the moon at all. I realise it sounds like something I should post on /x/, but because of my scepticism, I'd rather approach the incident as simply something I need to vent about in order to have any absurd theory invalidated. I'm sure it is explainable, but the timing with the strange illness that passed within two days as though a flu and the fact that I was incapacitated for those two days makes me wonder if what I saw is even worth investigating. I'm about ready to pinpoint the date and check for the position of the moon at this point, and I'd rather not even have to prove to myself that it was just a weird trick of light or that I was seeing something due to an unknown illness - mostly because either will leave me with that weird suspicion that it was neither, that it was other.

Aside from the cringe derived from forcing the reader's hand in making him assume that this is the authorial interpretation of today's political climate, more cringe drips from the very simplistic moral dimension of your characters and the predictable actions that follow. It really is terrible. And the writing's just as choppy and infantile as your characters.

I'm excited for tomorrow. I've worked a shitty degrading job for so long it almost crushed my spirit, but now I actually have the opportunity to make a substantiated income and it's exhilarating.

I've also finally gotten back into writing an the TV was the bane of my existence. It's so easy to sit there and passively consume content that it utterly dominated my life, and just sitting quietly listening to the hum of my fridge is so much more stimulating. Now I go for walks, I touch some leaves, I even eat hamburgers instead of just sitting pounding whatever nonsense I could find into my noggin.

I hope I can write something while I work at this job because writing is my passion in life, but I've accepted that I need to be humble enough to consistently work at it. I'm never going to be Hemmingway, particularly if I never practice. I just want to have my name on something, and to have a legacy. Writing seems to be the way to do that, so I need to put it at the forefront of my life and create something worth remembering.

The most painful feeling I've ever felt is when you realize that you love a group of people that can't stand you, to the point where you are told to either change or leave. I honestly haven't felt this bad in years. I've been in this situation before and I know that it won't really make a difference even if I am able to change, as people see what they already think of you. Either that or I just can't change so I should just leave now to not drag out the inevitable. The problem with departure is that it's the cowards way out, and will only confirm to them that I am all that they thought me to be, never going to change, and that I refuse to believe.

I never really fit into the bourgeoisie. You’d think that I’d become more accustomed to it as I aged, but the opposite is true. With every passing day I grow more embarrassed to sit in their trendy cafés, walk their pleasant streets, hear their limp-wristed conversations. “Oh, woe is you. Truly a tragedy that you should grow in such grotesque wealth. If only there were a way to relieve you of the burden that is wealth?”
Yes, I know. Not a very pitiable situation. While I’m entirely capable of removing myself from my immediate capital (i.e. giving away my assets), the broader issue is not so simple. I cannot undo what is done, and I cannot choose another family. Not that there is anything wrong with my family in themselves, they’re lovely people. But to truly separate myself I would need to remove myself from everything I’ve ever known, which is a difficult thing to do at the tender age of 19. Not that I couldn’t if I was presented with more compelling difficulties, I feel quite equipped in fact. I have all the necessary deficits of proper social maturity and attachment, and a quite indifferent attitude to the concept of ‘home’.
The plan is to one day leave, though it probably won't be as swift and absolute as it is in my day dreams. I'll move to somewhere far away for some reasonable reason, and I'll see them every now and then. By then I'll probably have gotten over myself.

I quit my job to enrol into a grad school. Now I am having second thoughts after I got a better offer.
Then there is also the thought that I could be a Neet for sometime doing what I like. Decisions , decisions. The problem is whatever decision I take now will affect me for the rest of my life. The women who toyed with me are doing well for themselves. I don't really know how I feel about this.

Self improvement seems like I am chasing something that doesn't exist sometimes . Why did I have to quit smoking, marijuana, the other psychedelics that led to a mania. What would it have been like if I had remained permanently manic. Would they have thrown me in am asylum? What if I enter that state again, it's not very nice when you can't trust your own perceptions.

The most important thing that I learned about in the worst phase of my life, which has been the past 26 years, seriously, living through child abuse , having a warped sense of reality, not being physically mature until 25 (this one takes the cake) , is that I just have to remain cool and that's it. Just do my thing ignore everything else and stay in the zone. Do not be afraid of anything, hell I was robbed at knife point by 6 guys and I told them off while they were leaving all at the same time I hid my costlier cellphone from them. Most important of all - don't try to get into people's heads, they are fucked up, yes, even the "nice" ones.

You sound like you're on the right track with your general vibe of self-reliance. But I study psychology and I get the hint that you are sublimating some lingering anxiety/unease into overdoing things, over-committing to your "fuck it, this is what I'll do from now on!" pronouncement in a way that will make it TOO strong, not soft enough to readjust later on.

I would recommend seeing a therapist or psychoanalyst who can talk to you and engage with your problems with you. It's good to be self-reliant but don't get closed off. Other people will show you sides of yourself and your problems that you didn't realise were there, and you'll get a more complete picture of your options in life.

I woke up at 1pm after solid insomnia til 7am. I roll over to the left and look through the crack in door of my bedroom (door is always 95% shut) and I see a flicker as if something passed behind the door

At first I thought I was just seeing something that wasnt real. Then I hear my front door opening, my front door is quite close to the bedroom. Blood flushes from my face. I live alone and i dont know anyone in this city. Instantly I flash back to about a month ago when at 3am I get loud obvious knocks at the door for about 5 minutes. In that scene I never answered the door, and when they left I heard an old beater car rev up and coast into the night

I was being robbed. Strapped to my
bed, the knife is on the nightstand next to my bed. I just have to reach without making any noise...

Deep mutter near the door: “scuse me.” I hope they dont know I am here. I hope they are ready to die. Im not afraid to murder

I keep seeing flickers through the crack in my door, yeah I was right. Multiple large males walking back and forth taking stuff out

I wake up and sit up. And creep towards my bedroom door knife in hand, shaking, chilled breath

No one. Dead silence.

This isnt the first time ive hallucinated without any drug use. Always paranoid. Sometimes I go through conspiratorial spells where I am sure someone is watching me and I sneak around my house for hours all alone checking the blinds to see if I can see them.

I now know they werent here this morning but now im not sure if I heard those knocks at 3am. I was sure of it. I was sleeping and it woke me up... same as this time... but I looked outside and saw the car drive off...

I feel distant from myself, or the internal fragments left inside. I feel withered, shriveled. I know im losing my mind, but I simultaneously dont know it: the things I see are so real. Somehow I exercise and read and meditate and sometimes things seem ok and maybe it was just a temporary unhinging

But as the years go on I know what this is, Its not going to stop. Its going to keep harassing me and taunting me with petty belief, making me unbearable to witness. Ive started lying to my psychologist and I dont know why. I want to be stable so badly i guess

Even when things arent that bad I still find waves of clenching depression and this dying need to stop my world so I can feel suffering

All the medication ive ever been given suffocates me. I have a reoccuring nightmare where I cant scream. I wake up gasping for breath nearly choking. When i take medication I feel mentally suffocated, and id rather be unhinged than mentally suffocated. At least I can still feel

I want others around but I know they dont want to deal with me. The ups and downs and genuine confusion is exhausting. And i cant control it. Stuck again... like always

I have this fear, this constant fear. Not of dying. Of being forgotten.
I want to make my mark on the world, I want to be remembered. I tried and tried to be above the average but I always failed. I don’t want to die a nobody. I want to be something big, to be someone other people can aspire to. People tell me I’m good at acting, but I don’t think I’ll ever make it big in that business. My social life is also a mess, nobody reaches out to hang out with me, and I haven’t figured out why. Am I unapproachable? Am I ugly? Scary? Is it because I say stupid stuff in a vain attempt to make up the other persons day, and as a result they never take me seriously? I feel I’m just “that person” people know, but nobody hangs out with.
Something I always did like doing is making someone’s day, making them smile, making them laugh. Regardless if f wether they laughed at my joke, or just laughing at me and making fun of me. I didn’t care. They smiled/laughed they were hopefully feeing better than before. I just want to help people smile I think. Maybe I should try acting at some point... ya never know. Better than wasting a bullet and waking up the neighborhood atleast.

Will I ever find a wife? I'm not sure I care anymore.

Its kinda fucked up. Without any physical fitness I cannot do any work. I'm lacking any ID's and what's worse is that the parents I am leeching off are dying. There's no drive to work inside me and I see the world in black and white. I hate my father and I want him to die. My mother is pretty bitchy and every day I am losing any will to survive. Maybe I have delusion myself. Maybe I am tired of living this repeated loop. How many days it has been since I stood up from bed with a smile on my face? How many days has it been since I felt alive?

Everyday my chest gets heavier. I want to live my life and be a good young man but I found that hard. Maybe there's something wrong with me or that I am huge gigantic coward. It has been four years since I started locking myself.

I convinced myself that I can be a good writer but its obvious that I failed. You can see it through this writing of mine. I hate everything and even if I do work my ass off. What next?

This is very interesting. I've been dealing with depression for some time now, but when it was at it's worst point was when I spent a lot of time on the internet. I tried to google dopamine addiction but all that came up was how dopamine was related to drug addiction. How can I lower my dopamine levels except for quitting social media? Also this does and doesn't make much sense..isn't dopamine the neurotransmitter that is responsible for happiness? Doesn't lowering that lower our happiness?

first of all i recommend the subreddit /r/nosurf, it's not advocating not using the internet, but using it in a purposeful manner rather than just mindless scrolling and browsing etc. they have a useful wiki and a sidebar that will most likely answer your questions, but i'll still try to.

>how can i lower my dopamine levels except for quitting social media

social media is a big factor, though i don't know how much time you spend there. try to cut down on it as much as possible. asides from that, mindlessly browsing reddit/4chan/etc. try to use these sites with a goal in mind (researching something, looking for a certain topic etc) instead of just going there by default because you're used to it. i installed an app on my phone called "space" which enables you to add a delay before opening apps (i chose reddit and 4chan). i realized how often i just tapped on those without actually having a reason to, just out of habit. mmo's can also be rather damaging, they are basically shiny skinner boxes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operant_conditioning_chamber)) which stimulate your reward circuits extremely. and last but not least PORN. quit all porn, masturbation is fine (don't fall for the nofap meme)

>isn't dopamine the neurotransmitter that is responsible for happiness? Doesn't lowering that lower our happiness?

you might be feeling a bit down or even depressed when quitting cold turkey, though the brain starts craving dopamine and you'll get it from other sources, reading a book, completing your coursework, going for a run etc. that's kind of the point, getting pleasure from things again, i too suffered from anhedonia and still have it from time to time.

as for literature, you'll find a lot on the /r/nosurf sidebar, but i still looked for some studies (there are literally tons of them, but these should do):

A couple weeks ago, I began working on an amateur indie game, and made a lot of progress. I had grand visions, a basic sketch of the plot, over a dozen maps designed, and the movement code plus player sprite fully done. And then it immediately fizzled out. Now I couldn't care less about it. I kept the project a secret, worked diligently, and made some headway, but it went toes up and I don't really know why.
