Three quarters of capitalism is just milking the dissatisfaction of feminine neuroses.

The '20s and '30s will be a painful drudgery of trying to process the anxieties of Millennial women aging out of the dating market (if you thought the boomer "50 is the new 30" was bad, just you wait.) Think Sex and the City with the cynicism, snark and pure cope turned up to 11.

This is within the wider context of the American Dream being repurposed to the Global Cosmopolitan Consoomer Dream, "studio apartment in a hip neighborhood, drinks with the girls/boys, Tinder filling every moment of downtime" and its collision with the unavoidable ravages of time. But women have more disposable income compared to men (a trend which which will accelerate even as overall disposable income declines) so they'll be the main ones getting their neuroses catered to (and amplified). Men will just get their steady drip of unisex America Man movies.

Basically, "successful" people in general, and women in particular here, never really paused to consider how the culturally enforced ideas "there is no adulthood, you can and must be an adolescent forever" and "anyone over 30 is damaged goods and irrelevant" lead off a cliff.

>*Watching boomers ruin the world so they can soulessly playact at youth and sexual potency with their might as well be infinite resources*

>"This culture is fine, no need question it while I'm still in my prime, I can totally navigate forever this because I'm just that awesome"

Getting over yourself requires something to move on to. Adulthood has been dismantled, it's all perma-adolescence now, there are just those who are the prime age for it and those who aren't. The latter will stew in resentment forever. This explains all the "you're literally a predator if you're in your 30s and dating a girl in her 20s" takes lately.

And it will be even worse with the Zoomer women who are spending their adolescence getting free attention on social media and their young adulthood on OnlyFans. Social media is the female version of porn in how it unnaturally overloads the pleasure centers to a level our minds can't comprehend. Getting hundreds of likes and messages on a selfie is a hell of a drug. When that attention inevitably wanes, it'll be painful.

As a single 30 something, nothings sadder than a 30+ woman trying the tactics of negging and over stating desirability that worked for them in their mid-20s when they were seeking their last relationship. Like watching a guy who peaked in highschool talking about his "big game."

This is what the whole "grooming" thing on social media is about.

It's like peeling an onion, and there's just layers and layers of reproductive anxiety and market competition inside.

You can't get a job without experience, and you can't get experience without a job. Because of this, I am stuck in place. Being stuck in place helped me understand that the old adage about life being about the journey and not the destination is wrong. Life is not a journey at all. People seek to go somewhere, but if death is the only destination, shouldn't you be content in waiting for it rather than racing others to it?
I went on two long walks today, alone. One in the woods, the other over in a rock quarry that was closed due to it being Sunday. I was the only person there. The sound of cars from a highway could be heard as quiet hum. Mostly I heard birds, leaves rustling and my own steps, especially on the gravel. Being present in those moments and checking out some rock layers in the quarry made me feel an odd sense of freedom. The rat race of wage-slaving may be needed to "get ahead" in "life", but I felt more content today than I ever did when I had a job.
I'm going to try to find this kind of enjoyment in life a little more.

I find it somewhat baffling and downright funny to see the paradoxical historical connections between roman families and factions that produced men like Pompey and Caesar. Pompey, hailing from an upjumped 'homo novus' pleb family would later lead the senatorial optimates faction, a faction which historically opposed the interests of plebs and equestrians. Caesar, hailing from an ancient patrician family older than the republic itself, would come to lead the populare faction which was born out of the specifically anti-senatorial campaigns of first the Gracchi brothers (ancient patricians themselves) and then the continuous reprisals against gracchan-type plebeian and rural interests. Propelled by precedents set earlier which broke the famed mos maiorum (the unwritten laws of custom), like Aemilianus' move to raise personal legions from his client-list or the repeated exemptions from age requirements for consular office and property requirements for becoming a legionary, these men, having learned and experienced that might indeed makes right, would come to dominate public affairs and shape the course of future western civilization forever.

One could say that the caesarian/pompeian split still exists within collective consciousness, as it is "patrician" sons seeking lost glory like Trump who still play populare politics, and "plebeian" upjumps seeking new glory and patrician benefactors as Clinton and Obama did. What we lack for now is the murder of the gracchans for all this to repeat.

How much of my unhappiness is due to the story of my life having no arc? Social ineptness means I will continue to have no friends, no significant other, for the rest of my life. Tomorrow will be no different than today, next year no different than this year. I was shocked to realize, in my late 30s, that my social skills peaked, and then started to decline precipitously, in my late college years. Even then I was a loner, but had friends. Largely the result of concentrated exposure, I guess. Some time in my first year of graduate school I realized that I had lost the ability to make new friends. I've never had a girlfriend. I could never risk the chance of rejection. On top of it, I'm repulsive, both in looks and personality. I often feel like I don't have a personality, just a collection of neuroses.

I used to be fairly interested in politics because I felt that I'd identified most of the reasons why everything around us was going to shit (for the sake of the following it doesn't really matter if I was right or not). I even had solutions lined up and all. However, the more I kept debating the people around me, the more I started hating them. Because even after convincing them through logical arguments, they simply acknowledged that I was right and changed absolutely nothing.

I realized after a while that there are two kinds of people in the world. Ones that can infer the truth without having to experience it, and those who need to make deep personal experiences to change their core programming. The former type of people is very rare, while the latter is very useless.

The solution here is obviously that one should focus one's energy on the player characters. The NPCs obviously live under a faith-based system of social orthodoxy, and will simply follow whatever is socially accepted. Therefore, one need not bother with them, for they shall fall in line when one becomes the person who determines social norms.

However, instead of focusing on the solution, I instead looked at what would happen were I to actually succeed. Through great sacrifice to myself, in terms of time investment and personal safety, I would embark on a journey with a very low chances of success, to forcefully herd the sheep and my compatriots towards a better future. (What I consider as a better future remains irrelevant.)

I would save civilization, or my country, or my ethnicity! Or whatever you’re personally fighting for. There remains only one issue. By saving society. I would have enabled the idiots amongst us, who had been so pathetically manipulated by promises of utopia, of endless love and prosperity, to get away with their frankly disgusting display of collective stupidity. I refused to abide by that outcome, and thusly, form that point on, when someone asks me about my view on politics, I simply began saying that I am apolitical (because most of you just aren’t worth saving).

It may seem a bit petty, that I would condemn myself and other good men to a fate brought upon us by manipulative elites and foolish hedonists. But there isn’t really any price I’m not willing to pay to see the subhuman trash which collectively brought us into this situation eat their just-desserts.

It’s not like I’ll be in real personal danger anyway. I know when to make my hasty retreat to some irrelevant island nation, and actually have the funds to do so.

That's not it. Happiness doesn't have that much to do with what you do, or how successful you are - it has mostly to do with how you think.

First thing, you have to accept your situation. Things that you have and you don't have. I think people end up struggling BECAUSE they try to solve their own problems. Just live normally, things will resolve themselves on their own. Stop chasing some magical solution. Stop thinking that you can't be happy because you don't have 'X'.
Second thing, you have to allow yourself to be happy. A lot of people simply hate themselves, and think that they're unworthy of feeling positive emotion. They think that there is something they need to do, change about themselves and so on. Only then, will they be happy. I say get happy first, then you will be capable of doing what you want.

I had a bad dream last night. I dreamt that I was a counselor at a summer camp on a remote island. I got off the little ferry and realized I'd forgotten to bring cigarettes. Not to worry, said the head counselor, there's a store in the village just up the road. I went to the store and bought some smokes. I thanked the old woman behind the counter, then turned around to find this small kid standing behind me, staring at me. "Watch out for the Mordecai," he said. "The what?" I asked. "Don't let it find you," he said. At that point the old woman, nervous-laughing, told the kid to stop bothering me and told me not to pay him any mind.
One of the buildings in the camp had a library in the basement, fairly extensive, like in a university. Bookish person that I am, I often found myself spending a lot of time there. One night I was in this basement library very late, reading in one of the cubicles, probably the only one there, when the power went out. I waited until my eyes adjusted to the gloom, then got up to leave, weaving my way through the maze of the stacks. I turned a corner, and at the far end of a row of shelves I saw a figure standing, looking at me. Dark as it was, I couldn't make its form out clearly, but I could see it had a face like a skull. It didn't move or say anything, but I knew it was the Mordecai. It had found me. I ran.
I went to find the head counselor immediately. He was sitting by a bath tub, giving a bath to a litter of black kittens, which kept squirming as kittens do, trying to jump out of the tub and splashing water everywhere. I told him what had happened. "Do you know about this thing? Will it keep following me? Am I in danger?" He looked at me but didn't answer.

Tbh I have very little grasp of the connection between lifestyle and emotional well-being (unless it's a thing like vit-D deficiency or something).
Sure, If I'm more productive and live better, I'm probably feeling good. But that's like chicken and egg a little, I think. If I were feeling awful, I wouldn't be very productive. If I live just a normal life, one day I feel great, the other terrible. One day it's easy, another it's hard. One day I get nothing done and feel great, another I get everything done but it's not enough. So on, and so on.

I feel like if I tried to make myself happy, it wouldn't work at all. I would just chase more and more things, looking for something that works. You can end up converting to any religion, doing any deed, and believing anything this way. None of it will work, unless it does. But if you land on the wrong thing, you're fucked.

Women do have a lot of power in situations where they can use their sensuality for some kind of personal or professional gain, but it’s difficult to navigate. In that sense, where the “female privilege” of being able to advance in status is their ability to use their sensuality effectively, I agree that women should admit to themselves that they are capable of harnessing that immense power for their own benefit. However, a lot of women can’t look at that as a cold hard fact because of cultural distractions and societal influence, ie. centuries of stories in movies and books, fictional and nonfictional, secular and nonsecular, of women being taken advantage of sexually, of women always being the victim, of women needing to remain morally pure.

For a modern day woman to have a completely clearheaded, focused understanding of her sensual power, it’s difficult; she has to be really aware of everything that has influenced her line of thought and worldview, she has to have a keen sense of intuition so that when she is in these power move situations (such as going to Weinstein’s hotel room), everything she says and every move she makes is calculated, every move he makes is rejected by her in a sly, subtle matter, to keep power in her hands while making sure things don’t escalate beyond what she’s genuinely willing to do (which could be physical, or could be expert teasing). And she needs to know the exact moment when to walk away from the situation, to know when things are beginning to go wrong and she admittedly is ready to bail. But a lot of the women in the Weinstein cases probably were, to some degree, genuinely naive; not dumb, by any means, but maybe in over their heads when thrown into the reality of a game they thought they had the skills to expertly play and win.

A dominatrix seems like the kind of women who could perfectly navigate these situations unless she was forcibly restrained, but effectively projecting that domineering, goal-oriented affect takes guts and practice and a very strategic line of thinking. Ultimately, Anna’s comments on this ep made me uncomfortable too, because I feel like she was trying to say something along the lines of what I just did, but it didn’t come out that way, so maybe I’m projecting. Maybe Anna really is, more or less, just plainly victim-blaming. But most women aren’t the sensual masterminds she might think they are, because even if they have a complex understanding of the power they possess and how to use it, society has skewed their perception of utilizing this power as wrong or cheap or, in cases now, not enough to avoid situations like being assaulted by Weinstein-level elite men.

Cont.

Libfem ideology pushes this falsehood that Weinstein-level elite men are pure-evil non-humans who are incapable of being controlled, manipulated, or swayed, but the fact is that if a man is sexually attracted to a women, he can be controlled by her in almost any situation if she knows how to play her cards just right. But libfems want to continue the narrative of women being too weak to handle these situations, too prone to being victims because of their morally pure nature, which ultimately, is still sexist and patriarchal, still trying to keep women from harnessing that innate sensual power in order to keep them down, to keep them controlled. If most women were experts in sensual psychological warfare, then we would most certainly run the world and then likely would be fighting amongst ourselves for ultimate societal control. This feminine sensual power is almost god-like, and the status quo knows this, so the status quo tries, from every political direction, to keep it suppressed. I think maybe libfems want to harness that sensual power but with the security of knowing they can fall back on being the victim if things don’t go according to plan, but in reality, you simply cannot have your cake and eat it too.

"I’ve been on the Discord for days now, and to tell the truth, I am not missing it at all. I think it’s good riddance. I haven’t been talking to this friend either, that I otherwise talk to very often. I don’t really miss his company either, considering what I’ve come to realize about him; I don’t know if we’ll continue being buddies for long.

Surprisingly, even to me, I haven’t really been feeling lonely either. I am still grateful that I have someone else, however; someone who I can call even a brother. I am very grateful to have him, and to enjoy his company. Aside from him, I have been enjoying my own company a lot as well. I’ve been getting really excited playing guitar, playing FIFA, and accomplishing daily goals I set for myself. It keeps me busy.

On the matter of porn though, nothing has really changed in my circumstances. I relapsed again."

You're going to make it, anon. I was in a similar situation a few years ago - gf who had been the center of my universe for 3 years dumped me, and I was psychologically destroyed. Advice is cheap, but mine is: don't give in to despair, spend some time getting to know yourself as an individual, figure out what you really want out of life beyond being in a relationship. Keep moving forward and you will emerge from this a stronger, deeper, more centered person.

I understand there's a 'write whats on your mind' thread and this belongs there but the message will get lost if I post it there ok so here goes:


I feel like a night creature
chewing its tongue at the sun
squinting faithlessly, grimacing
jackhammering its knee
counting every truant cloud
mixing beats from city sounds
as sunset yellows fizzle down
pacing on a quarter-inch of one heel
tensing

watching
hey, stars

often I would wonder at their origin
but such topics get displaced
so morning is what comes after the bottom
and it's name is often used to mean the same

I feel like that can capture half the loop I live in time, but then again I don't think I get points for doing rhyme. Yet even that encapsulates this strange place that I've found, some sort of twilight morning and an endless clicking sound.

In the end I've never even heard of the sun, can't even imagine what it could look like or even feel like. As if a friend of mine once said an awful anecdote I don't remember very well and then tried to ask me a few months later how it went, and we're not even friends. That's it right there.

That's how I feel like.

I'm planning to get drunk every night mon-thurs this week, purely to keep myself emotionally stable for the foreseeable future (I'm aware the alcohol will only prolong the inevitable breakdown, but it is advantageous for me to prolong that breakdown until next weekend). At my current tolerance it takes me 8 standard drinks to get me effectively drunk. Should I be buying 4 pints of liquor (one pint for each night) or 2 fifths of liquor (half a bottle for each night)? Keep in mind that at this point in time I do wish to maintain the average rather than escalate.

>Isaiah 4:12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

>4:16 Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet: 17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts.

>18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon, 19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers, 20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings, 21 The rings, and nose jewels, 22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins, 23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.

>24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.

How does it end? With women begging for a husband after realizing what they've done to themselves:

I have a theory. Girls are actually really emotinally stable. But guys drag them into the endless spiral of hysteria and depression because they try to establish a connection through their deep and emotinal thoughts, which are basically worthless and don't accomplish the goal.

Basically, I derived this from my experience, since most of the men I know are bitch ass niggas.

The problem with therapy is that for it to work, you have to become emotionally invested and believe that you have a connection with your therapist. But in reality it's just a business transaction. If you stop paying, or your insurance does, you're not going to see them anymore and it's over. So for it to work, you have to kid yourself that they actually care. But once you are aware of the situation, it is hard to suspend disbelief and become emotionally invested enough to make therapy worthwhile.

Huh? You're looking at this wrong, I think. I didn't even see my therapist as a person. Although, I wonder, as I think I indirectly rejected her once and she seemed to get a bit sad. I don't know if it was sad because of how pathetic I was, or because she wanted a less formal relationship. It was probably all my imagination though.

I think it's a mistake to approach therapy as something social. It's like a two person think-tank on how to get you better, no need to get personal. You think about your life, and say it out loud, trying to be honest. If you have a clear goal, you can work towards it. If you're just making an honest effort that's better than doing nothing, or damaging yourself, right?

There are worlds and places that you can reach if you have the will to do it, not just with art. To be honest "living just to survive" is a mindset that's hard for me to imagine. Then again, "survival" is something quite different from "not dying", isn't it? It implies a struggle, and the danger of death. I think you should punch yourself really hard in the face. Or step onto a rooftop. Go into a dark alley at night. You know, place yourself in a situation in where you actually have to survive. If it still feels meaningless even then, my condolences.

My sole motivator is cunny. These little cuties are the light of my life, the fire of my loins, so to speak. I quite literally cannot endure a single day without consoling myself with daydreams of cuddling with a beautiful little girl, caressing her perfect prepubescent body, tasting her supple lips, breathing in her precious girlish scent... it nearly moves me to tears. To be truthful, I would spend an entire evening devouring each and every inch of her delicious form, from her cute little toes to her quivering cunny, all the way up her kissable tummy and to those perfectly pink nipples. I'd give her some manual stimulation until she could only beg for my member. And she'd need not ask me twice. She cannot be impregnated but that would not stop me from giving every fibre of my being to making her so. I definitely have more endurance than her so after a considerable romp she'd pass out in my arms. A flushed, panting mess, she'd be, but a beautiful mess. I'd taste the glistening sweat off of her and clean her up before holding her close and drifting away into sleep... but alas, it will always be but a dream...

In the past this place has helped me a lot, and so, once again I come here for advice.
I fell in love with a girl, but there’s something that has been bothering me a lot. I’ve always had an aversion towards hookups and casual sex, and at the same time felt like shit for not doing these things, as if I was insufficient and unattractive, incapable of living as most people my age seem to. Even so, the few times I did manage to hookup with someone always made me feel bad, giving me a damned if you do, damned if you don’t mentality about this kind of things.
Now, back to the girl. We have very strong feelings towards each other and both feel like we finally found what we were looking for. Her past, however, disturbs me. She was repeatedly molested by older men when she was a pre-teen, and, after that, developed a very promiscuous lifestyle. Most of it was spent with a boyfriend, but before and after dating him she seems to have hooked up with a lot of people, including complete strangers. Everytime I hear or think about any experience of hers a terrible and all consuming feeling comes over me. It’s not jealously, it’s some kind of dread that comes from deep inside and overtakes everything else. I hear her tell me about how she loves me and wants to build a life together and I am assaulted by this feeling and intrusive thoughts about her past experiences.
I love this woman and none of this situation is her fault - she has always been very kind and supportful - but this dread is consuming me. I don’t want to simply ignore the feeling or leave her, but don’t know what else to do.

Please, if any of you can take time to read and reply, I would really like to hear any thoughts you have towards it.

You're just worried she'll die or run three kids in. She'll probably stick it out forever for the kids and stability. You're miscalculating the risk because of her past. If you change your perspective (she's unlikely to die or quit if her past didn't do it, and she's probably more motivated than most to have a normie beard husband and normie safe suburban life) you might have wife material.
However, check for signs of BPD, especially if you haven't known her long. If you know this sexual history because you've known her years, that might be an actual close bond, but if you know all this within a month of knowing her, she has boundary issues and the extremity of both your feelings might be partially manufactured.

I know this feel brother. I react very little to other people's pain or even my own. I don't mind though, I would rather err on the side of stoicism than act a drama queen like the women I know. I'm often reminded of Ted Hughes' Fever, he describes that feeling well:

>'She is crying

>Had already happened, was going on
>Still happening, with the whole world
>Too late to help.' Then the blank thought
>Of the anaesthesia that helps creatures

How often do you have sex? Sex can be anxiety inducing when you only have every once in a while / with strangers. Once sex becomes a regular act between partners you lose a lot of that anxiety, and it becomes less daunting. You've got to perform well a few times, and then those memories of performing poorly begin to disappear. I understand that's not really a 'solution' to your problem, but something to keep in mind?

Listening to audiobooks is an okay substitute if you aren't trying to read something challenging or super serious. It's passive instead of active so it's a lot easier to read that way. But long-term, you need to develop a habit of reading so that you associate reading with pleasure. It shouldn't be something you have to motivate yourself to do because it should be something you look forward to doing. Work on making that change in your mind. Hope that helps.

Most people only feel jealousy or anxiety about those things because they think it shows their partner might leave them in some sense (death, separation, stop loving them). People with confidence in their partner's choices or ability to survive and maintain the partnership don't have those feelings. It's why people get those empty and impotent feelings not only when a partner cheats but also when a partner gets a cancer diagnosis.

I feel like she’s someone who doesn’t value herself and to whom physical intimacy is meaningless. Physical intimacy is something very personal to me, so the idea of her fucking around crashes with how if feel towards it. Also, it’s a shitty feeling thinking the person who likes you is just someone who treats herself as a fucktoy. Even knowing she sees most of these past experiences in a negative light, it doesn’t change the fact she put herself on these situations again and again, and on some level thinks she deserves them.

I have a lot of trouble finding the motivation to do anything that concerns anyone else. Often times I ask myself things like "Is this really it?" or "Is this worth my time?" because I fail to find the motivation to think about it for extended periods of time. I have a job, I study and read every day, and I have hobbies that I pursue, all of which are mostly solitary activities. I think that if I don't make any substantial change in my lifestyle any time soon, I'm going to end up being alone and forgotten for the rest of my life, and for some reason I don't seem to mind that much. I've considered that it might just be depression, but even on my best days, the lack of motivation and apparent apathy is pervasive. I've got a healthy lifestyle, and a good safety net so I'm not really sure why I can't shake the feelings of distraught.

Anomander Rake felt the rumble in his onyx stomach - he let slip a fart, a fart of darkness that reflected the rancid and rotten landscape of Gemul Garatlain. Or however it was called. He had lived long and his memory now was hazy, sporadic flashes of lifetimes that seemed an instant.

Nonetheless, he missed Mother Dark, and long wished for her cold embrace upon. He took a deep breathe in, and startled himself with the smell.

“Think of the smell...”

Whiskeyjack entered Rakes spacious and filth covered tent.

“Sugoi, Anomando Rake-u san,” he said, bowing.

Rake swiftly beheaded him with Dragnipur, his 6 foot long sword described by all who briefly glanced upon its visage as “awesome”, “badass”, and “cool”.

He felt his power grow. The sword stole and entrapped Whiskeyjack soul, condemning him to an eternity of mindless labour within, surrounded by the tragic multitudes of souls Rake had laid waste. Including Hitler.

Rake ruminated. He now had white privilege after killing the straight cis male Whiskeyjack.

He summoned the black skinned Traveller, and committed Suicide.

Before you can go any further in this discussion, you have to recognize a few things:
1) Smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and plenty of gimmicks gave people who otherwise would have no use for the Internet a very good reason to inhabit it in their free time. The portability, accessibility, and relatively cheap pricing has made it so that any person with even a minuscule income can access the Internet at any time.
2) High-speed connections have compounded on the first point mentioned, and has allowed people to access information and communities that would otherwise never exist. This can be a good thing if used properly, or a bad thing if used improperly.
3) Most platforms, this one included, exist to make money, and thus typically pander to the lowest common denominator. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, either, but it usually always is.

Memes can actually be a fantastic way to communicate if they're not over-used, and if they're not reduced to such simple terms as they usually are today (which is probably where your discontentment lies. Correct me if I'm wrong). Things like: funny images that make you laugh, retarded TikTok videos, etc, are not the only things confined to the domain of memes. So, memes being the first example to segway into my point: because the Internet typically panders to the lowest common denominator, it follows that said denominator will almost always simplify all things. It doesn't matter whether it's a political issue, a meme, a fashion trend, etc. There's a reason memes like "NPC" and "normie" are so influential, and that's because they're a reflection of how most people actually treat the Internet. So to answer your question ("What is wrong with people?"), I would suggest that there isn't actually anything inherently wrong with (most) people at all. Instead, I would suggest that because the Internet is so pervasive, and the access is cheap and easy, people are corrupted by it.

We could go on and on about how people distort and repeat very dumb formats for a myriad of reasons, but that wouldn't actually go anywhere. Most ventures, I would reckon, started out innocuously. There wasn't any malevolent intent when Facebook first started, or when the plans for ARPAnet were first being developed. The summation is that the Internet distorts and reduces things to their simplest factor because that's what most people want: easy and quick to digest pieces of information. I could go on and on about how these things interconnect with the human psyche, like attention span, etc, but I think this post has been rambling on enough. If you want meaningful discourse, look for moderated/niche communities and hope that it never picks up too much traction, because then the retards will come knocking. I hope this post has been insightful to you in some way, best of luck :).

I have to make a choice between two options. If there is a third option then I don't know it. The question is what to study this coming semester. I am building towards a degree in something, and the quesiton is: how big a part should the russian language have in this degree. Other than russian I have been studying political science, but more and more I feel like this is an imaignary subject, like critical theory or something. Having a degree in political science does not prove that you can DO anything. It does however, most likely I believe, afford a degree of job security, as I am from a country with a very large public sector. This is really why I am in polisci- I find it to be at least somewhat interesting, but moreso very safe. Now you might think "Hold on, I've seen movies since the 80s, I know you should always pick what you're passionate about over that which is safe!" and maybe you're right in the general case, but the complicating factor is that I have suffered from a fair amount of mental illness in my day, and I am probably more or less crippled permanently. Crippled in the sense that I will probably never have the mental energy to work full time. So in -my- case, maybe the dream of the 80s should die, and I should be happy with what I get. It's just that if I learned proper russian, then I would know like 3.2 languages, and that is actually something. I would know how to do something. The problem then being that the occassions to do that something might basically require me to work full time or more, which I think that I can not do. I'm finally getting in physical shape, and I am improving, so maybe this pessimism is exaggerated, but I have been more or less out of the game for 7 years now. Statistically I can not expect to recooperate.

Along comes another complicating factor: I am a muslim, and I live in a country where I'm not so sure Islam will be welcome in the long run. If I learn russian then I would probably be able to find work abroad as a teacher, and so I could emmigrate if I had to. With polisci this is not so much the case. So in the very long run russian might actually be safer. I feel like this all puts me in a very complicated situation.

I am the man who witnessed it all
Everything life had to offer
It really was a spectacle
So many opportunities
I watched them all drift by
But I do remember witnessing them
The opportunities, that this
I was there
I watched them all come and go
Everyone single one
It was truly something special
You should have seen me
As they passed me by
I just did nothing
I witnessed them all
Now I have nothing
And nothing to show for it
Just my age and my wrinkled face
But boy, it really was something

Dreamed last night that I was running away from people that wanted to kill me and my brother. I had a long uzi with a silencer. In my dream I fell asleep in my house and woke up to a centipede on my chest which quickly skittered away. In real life I'm very scared of insects in the dream I was calm. The gun was gone. I opened up all my drawers. Empty except for centipedes and strange scribbled moths that flew out. I woke up for real this time with a strange feeling that I sometimes experience when I wake up from especially vivid dreams, tired all over and kind of dull or worn out and wanting to return to the dream to see the story to its completion.

I can relate. While taking tasks a step at a time can help, in my experience the most important thing to do is to first unwind. Don't make a big deal of the task, treat it as though it could matter less. Perfectionism ruins writing because you become paralyzed by the realization that what you've written so far is shit. So I'd say try and make the task personal to you so that you want to finish because you're actually invested rather than just because you have to meet a deadline.

You always take things the wrong way
You only think about yourself
What about me
What about my feelings
I'm here for you
All the time
And you never appreciate me
I put all my energy into this relationship
And you do nothing
The fucking dog deserved to die
It was a pathetic creature
I was doing it a favour
It wasn't vindictive
It was merciful OK
I was putting it out of it's misery
But no
Suddenly I'm the one who is a monster
Yes I used a meat cleaver and chopped off all its paws first
I didn't know how best to kill it is all
Just please stop fucking crying
Always with the water-works
I'm a monster?
I've done everything for you
You're the one who is twisting this whole situation into some diabolical appraisal of our entire relationship
I used lighter fluid and matches to finish him off
That was it
I panicked OK
What would you have done?
Honestly. Put yourself in my situation for once
Just once
That was a fucking phone in my pocket
It was not an erection
Fucking hell
Who do you think I am
The tripod and camera was set up from earlier
I was filming a dance routine that I'm working on
I've always loved dancing
You know this
I just accidentally left it running is what happened
And I was smiling, thank you very much, because the dog lived a good life
There is joy in that
You know
Yes, maybe, he did have a few years left in him
But that dog needed to go
Listen
I'll tell you
That dog always looked down on me
I could see it in his eyes
He didn't respect me as a person
It was an insolent fucking dog
It was obvious
While you were being all cuddly, giving him hugs
He would look over at me across the sofa
And he would smile with that smug fucking dog smile that he does
He was ridiculing me
In my own home
Always wagging that stupid fucking tail
HE WAS LAUGHING AT ME
THE WHOLE TIME
Jesus Christ.
Where are you going?
Are you leaving?
Do not fucking walk out that door.
I was NOT jealous of the dog
He had it coming
I need to see a psychiatrist?
YOU need to see a psychiatrist

>Sex can be anxiety inducing when you only have every once in a while / with strangers
You said it man, only had sex twice, really which was with girls I didn't know the day before (and they initiated it, I'm too much of a shy fag to get a partner proactively).
One of my (girl) friends recently proposed we could start having benefits together (it was at a party and I said I felt weird about starting it out when people are in the next room) and honestly, I'm really the anxious type and feeling weird about it. At the same time, it could be the thing that could get me going if we just had sex on the regular as friends.
What stresses me out is that many of my friends know her and if I do bad, this could ruin some friendships, idk.

Since I'm blogging already, got to say I just wish stress didn't have such crippling physical symptoms. I get very nauseous and light headed from it, which is the initial cause of my panic disorder. I have this sort of obsessive thinking that I may think what activities could be ruined by me panicking for no reason.. and they become my triggers.. this lead me to some strange phobias, bros. (whoever read all of this, props to you and thanks)

The crux of Kaczynski's critique of technology and the true problem with it is a loss of agency. Too much convenience is damaging to the self-worth. Few modern people can imagine the sense of competence and victory that primitives feel when bringing back game from a successful hunt after sweating and panting to extremes of endurance deep in the wilds. Or to have a cohesive, singular tribal culture in which one's entire cosmology is centered and stabilized. Having everything you need delivered to you at the push of a button impoverishes experiential variety. Sedentariness, screen culture, all of things are strictly unnatural. And I would wager that the psychological (to say nothing of the physiological) detriments of this cultural shift are drastically underestimated. This is what he meant by surrogate activities. The immediate hormonal reward of biologically intended activities has been offset by technological intermediaries and mental health is the casualty.

If a problem is too hard, you can just pretend there isn't a problem. If your dreams and desires are hard to fulfill, you can shove them back down. If you're ugly, you can just stop looking in the mirror. If you've got a weird cancerous mole on your leg, you can just not look at it. If you're afraid of the dark, you can just close your eyes. If something bad is happening, you can just pretend not to see. If you don't like the truth, you can doubt anything.
After all, you decide what is "true" based on nothing but a feeling. Sure, you can arrive at that feeling through logic. However, perhaps, you started that whole logical train of thought from nothing but a feeling in the first place. Perhaps all philosophy is just a sophisticated way of justifying your own biases and preferences.

Me arguing irl with boomers et al about circumcision. 99% of issues I just keep quiet because I figure people are set in their ways, but there is zero reason circumcision should be the standard practice so I somehow believe if I simply exhibit this fact, they will change their mind. Was just talking with one such boomer who "lost the argument with his wife" so his sons are uncircumcised. If circumcision is so great then why didn't his sons choose to go get circumcised as soon as they were old enough to know the difference??
>it's hard to clean
yeah so are my earlobes, I have fucking malassezia in there and they get all crusty, somehow both dry and oily. It's a bitch to clean, it's inconvenient and it's disgusting. Do I wish my parents had had the doctors cut my earlobes off when I was a baby? No, 100 times NO!
>it increases the chances of X cancer
Okay so they can get it removed later? Getting circumcised has at least as many potential complications that are much more immediately apparent. Look up the recent vid Mew2king put up in response to getting #metoo'd. He got accused of skeeting on some girl, and he had to put out a vid detailing how his circumcision was so botched he basically can't coom without gargantuan effort. Almost killed himself over it.

I know how you feel re: physical symptoms, that used to be a big problem for me. I would feel incredibly nauseous, even around my gf who I was otherwise perfectly comfortable around. I would also feel incredibly fatigued and unable to perform. But I grew out of it incrementally, gradually getting in control of my symptoms and now I'm at a point where I don't get them anymore. Here's the thing to keep in mind: sex can be incredibly fun and satisfying even when it's 'bad'. Even without penetrative sex, kissing, oral, and cuddling feel great for both partners and women tend to relish the emotional connection as much as the physical act. This is why even one night stands and friends with benefits will act all gooey and gf like for the night, holding hands, spooning, pillow talking etc. even if they know they'll never see you again. Anyway, my point is that of course the real thing is BETTER but don't let the pressure of it overwhelm you. Go in with the mindset that even bad sex is good sex - focus on providing her with pleasure and worry less about your own - and gradually over time you will begin to feel more comfortable and you'll be able to perform better. A friends with bens situation seems perfect becuase you don't have a relationship on the line, you can try things out without fear of fucking up on an emotional level.

Men tend to get very spooked because women like to make a lot of jokes about disatisfying sex (really, it is the only type of jokes most women know how to make) but you shouldn't let that put you off. As with all humour it is largely exaggeration and in the moment those kinds of things matter less. Not all women are the same and you can get cunts, but if you're the type of guy having women initiate with you (even though you're shy) that suggests to me that the women you've slept with like you enough to let you learn at your own pace. Anyway, this ended up longer than I thought but my way of thinking of it is this: there are certain things I want to do with my life, and I should not allow a fear of failure to prevent me from doing so. Things can fuck up, but that's part of the process, and as time passes you fuck ups fade into the distance and you grow. Godspeed anon.

I've recently been thinking that I'm in a truman show type scenario, but the show-runners can also read my thoughts. I don't think I'm a skitzo but I every now and then I really truly believe it and it kinda freaks me out. One interesting side-effect of this is when I think I analyse (not really sure that's the correct term) my thoughts more often, and it leads to me being more honest to myself. I have stopped trying to fool myself about fairly minor things and just started to accept them and try to, I guess, plan my actions based on these new, and, I guess, more real thoughts.

I don't really know how me being skizoid and me analysing my thoughts and being more honest to myself are related, but both things started to happen roughly the same time so I guess they are kinda.

So many whiners in so many of these threads, you'd think you're browsing /r9k/ so let's fix this shit.
>I'm lost in life
Stop doing shit and start finding shit, alternatively go to church.
>tfw virgin
If you actually gave any fucks about your virginity status you would have lost it. Stop focusing on petty shit or you're no better than a toastie
>tfw no gf
It's hard to find a good one. Just bee urself to find the one though. For the idiots, here's what that means: If you have to lie about who you are to her, she's not the one. If you want to change yourself for them, that's different and acceptable. Being yourself does not mean sperging out about trains or ever mentioning that your childhood hero called for the extermination of some happy merchants.
>I feel so alone
Find other weirdos, make friends, play social Vidya. It's not hard to find people like you.
>I'm autistic
So be autistic. Shits sucks but thems the breaks kid. Trying to be normal takes more energy than any one person has and will lead to you breaking and breaking hard. Do however attempt to gain some modicum of self-awareness however and you'll go far
>I don't like myself
So change yourself
>I hate my living situation
So fucking fix it. Made tough choices if you have to. If you're too weak to decide between a tough decision or toughing it out, then at least have the courtesy to keep your mouth shut like the little bitch you are.
>I'm suicidally depressed.
Stop being depressed. Easier said than done, yes but at the end of the day, the impetus is on you to change your life for the better. Look at your current situation, reconcile with your past, plan for the future. Do what you need to do or you'll never get better.
>I fucking hate people
And people fucking hate you. Focusing on hate is unhealthy anyway. Try to find a way to better everyone's situation instead of wishing ill on others that will inevitably come back to bite you in the ass
>I wish my wife was real and not 2D
Get a fucking life
>I can't stop whacking it
Stop whacking it. Alternatively, make it harder to whack it, i.e. delete your porn stash, disconnect the internet when you're feeling it, or do something that's not putting on a CBT set-up lest you get turned on by it.
