You don’t need any books to get out of that mentality, just stop posting here

>>11431751
You know this is a bait chart, right? A lot of this is just dozens of generic "4chan"/"internet addict" stereotypes from various different boards combined together with the hope that everyone looking at that image will relate to at least a few of the concepts expressed on it.

>>11431751
That image is going to have at least 3 or 4 things that resonate with any young male this generation. He's on the chart, but read Kierkegaard, starting with The Present Age

Well but I still find it extremely interesting, since I've developed some of these behaviors before I went on 4chan. Like, right until now, I would have never thought that the casio watch and not wanting to wear prominent logos is something shared by so many people that it becomes an internet meme.

wtf I'm barely any of those things

Great!

>pursues STEM career while despising fellow STEMs

goddam i know this feeling. i work in a neuroscience lab at a medical school. almost everyone i work with is either Big Bang Theory "i fuckin love SCIENCE" type or a disingenuous egomaniac LARPing about how they do this to help people even though we're doing basic science research that is very far removed from anything that will actually be used to treat people

i'm trying to get out of this shit field, at least in business they're honest and straightforward about their greed

>>11431959
I guess extremely similar, but either with much more refined taste or much, much lower taste. Also, no attempts at workouts and less jerking over "discipline" and "not having a partner".
Speaking from experience.

This

>>11431959
But I guess girls tend to fall into some new age mentality or become completely bonkers when faced with existential issues and anxieties.

>>11432001
Well, more reason to talk about it I guess.

>>11431838

>should my vagina smell

>>11431838
dude that watch is one of the most popular watches of all time. ditto drinking monster, those aren't exactly niche things

>>11432006
a lot will try to fuck the pain away, then devote themselves to internet feminism and talking about all the times men "basically" raped them

>>11431751
Stop ruminating over your image and self-loathing. Those starter packs are following gypsy fortune teller playbooks - eclectic stack of quirks broad enough to apply to many and yet niche enough to not be too obvious. it's like asking somebody whether they had a strange disturbing dream as of late and then saying it's your dead relative communicating to you.

Just start lifting and talking to cute girls. A lack of either physical activity or contact with the opposite sex is the root cause of like 90% of the existential angst here. Getting those chemicals flowing is a practical, albeit mundane panacea, which your self-conscious attitude keeps you from embracing.
>>11432532
This.

>The absolute state of this board

I think an important thing to remember when thinking about `getting out of this' is that all those things are really cliche/common symptoms of a general societal malaise.
The idea that there's some personal solution that each should be doing to free like half of men aged 18-39 from their capitalist heckscape is laughable.

It makes me feel better.
Personally, I get up every morning early and swim, and repeatedly do things that I like (alone) at which point it's not so hard to make friends (`hey, you seem to come here often').
Everyone feels very isolated and stupid all the time.

>>11431751
>waoh dude i can summarize things
>if i can define you then you have been discredited
This chart is shit and whoever compiled it is projecting

you made this same thread like a week ago
leave

>>11431751
I guess a lot of what's unpleasant about the chart is judging people etc

So maybe just be like, we're all just tryna get by, and I don't really have an answer to life not making much sense either

The real answer is probably Have Kids

>>11432689
i know right. this thread is fucking r9k tier. i'm leaving this shit website

>>11432921
Have children and you will regret it. Do not have children, and you will regret it.

>>11433351
Bye. You won't be missed, reddit.

>>11432135
This, I realized a long time ago that I wouldn't be happy even if I did live up to my potential and that's assuming I'm even half as competent as everyone told me I was.
>>11432697
>Everyone feels very isolated and stupid all the time.
Reminding myself of this also helps.
>>11431751
Wew, the fact that video games is crossed out actually pleases me, I just got off a 2 hour bender of crawling dungeons and beating the dogshit outta demons.

bringing someone into existence (which you believe to be mostly suffering) just to become a bit less bored isn't a very nice thing to do anon

I was about to post THE ACE OF SPADES, THE ACE OF SPADESSSS then I remembered that's Motorhead, not that faggy basedaddled boyband.

>>11431751
Why Saturn by Goya? Literally I've never seen it posted here, when there are art threads it's always stereotypical and gaudy 19th century academicism with the meme man standing above the sea of fog thrown in.

>gaming crossed out
Fucking what?

>>11434963
Stereotypical and gaudy 19th century academicism is the worst thing that happened to mankind.

>>11431751
whoever made this is a genius

>>11431751
Swans, Slint, Deathgrips and NMH are all great bands, what's the problem here?

>>11434963

OPs pic is broad enough to have at least few things apply to everybody, but it's also really ineffective because of it.

Why do you care if people think you're right wing?

>>11431751
Im so glad thats not me, I saw I was heading for that I while back and just steered clear.

Theres no book to get out of this, you just need to start focusing on progress, think of some life goals and start working towards them.
My advice would be
>Start eating three meals a day
>Start going to sleep and waking up at set times
>Start becoming organised and do chores regularily
>Cut time off the internet, get some hobbies
>Get into the habit of doing rather than thinking, like instead of thinking "oh I dont want to do this its going to be so bad" just say or think nothing and just do it.

There is no books on this, you have to go out there and start making an effort, if you want to learn how to swim you head to the pool not the library.

>>11431751
unironically The Stranger

LOL THE EMPTY FRIDGE REALLY NAILED IT

>>11437020
How would The Stranger help you get out of that mentality? If anything it would reinforce it.

>>11437040
because it tells you that your trivial existence is nothing to be in despair for

Faggot whats the point of this board if it can't offer some form of inspiration or spiritual enlightenment. OP isn't looking for the solution to everything just a few tomes to help guide him along the way.

>>11437201
Ive never been genuinely shocked at a reply on 4chan before, I cant believe your this fucking stupid.
Sounds like the easiest way to improve your life is to just end it.

>>11435786
whoever posts this is literally the male equivalent of art hoes along with Stalker being their favorite film.

>>11437217
Are you a Christian?

>>11437270
Nah, not by a long shot.

>>11436944
Kill yourself. Alternatively, make yourself attractive. Or, assuming you do not like your looks due to the fact that it makes you feel self-concious around others, become a person who is interesting, and hanging around with despite your apparent bad looks. Just dont be a loser bro youll make it if you just try

>>11437445
Then I don't understand your reply. Hey, the only thing you did was insult me so don't blame me for not knowing what you meant.

>>11431751
it's disgusting how people define themselves, but it's much worse how fools devalue great works based on some social group prejudice. can nothing really affect them? can anything have profound impact on them - is anything above shity social qualifier of modern anglonigger mentality?

>>11431991
Is neuroscience not worth pursuing? I was thinking neurology. Idk, I just like brains.
