I fucking hate this self masturbatory mindset that late zoomer/early millennial; mostly females; have adopted. Oh wow, gongrata fucking lations you got an A+ on your grade 6 social studies test about the history of indigenous tribes. Oh what? You aint doing so hot in grade 10 because your depressed? Or is it because your a fucking retard nigger whose brain got fried from looking at tumblr text posts all fucking day. ''Oh i loved reading as a kid, I was really smart!'' Read what you retard? Harry potter? Captain fucking underpants? Some fucking shitty dystopian YA series where the main character is a female that gets simped over by two fucking dude? Were you reading wattpad fiction? Was that it? Holy fucking shit I wish all of the americas were set ablaze by napalm I hope every single one of them are burnt alive

Depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, autism, all legit. But fuck me, all kids these days think they're one of those because they're lazy shits who can't comprehend the benefit of getting off social media/vidya/anime/porn.
They fry their brain, self-isolate because nothing lives up to the hit of the aforementioned things then go "Damn, I wish I wasn't this fucked up and lonely, I used to be a happy boy when I was 6, before I've been exposed to any of this, anyways, time to check 4chan then jack off before sleep".

>>16053856
It's a term for getting too much happy juice flowing in your brain with zero effort to the point where your brain goes haywire and gets addicted to it.
Yes your receptors will normalize eventually if you stop, expect bouts of sadness before that happens though, because modern man is an addict.

>>16053832
holy shit based

>>16053832
Very based.

>>16053859
Its cause kids these days are self diagnosed weirdos who dont have any genuine interests in anything because theyre under so many deep layers of irony that even EXPRESSING that they like something is physically painful for them.

This is such a demeaning attitude towards POC, women and people who like to read. Maybe instead of being a fucking asshole to them, you can encourage them to read and maybe you'll like to talk to them more. Maybe instead of being a misogynist who shits on them, you can support their art and maybe you will enjoy reading a story. Not sure how I can explain it to you, but I was raped by my own father when I was 14. I'm still raped every day, my life is hard because of this, but I read stories and I understand how it hurts to be a woman. I think I understand why a society can turn into a sewer without a toilet. Is that really a person you want to lead our society? If you want to influence someone, you should offer your help and work on them, not diminish them. I say this to everyone who has anyone on their radar. Don't let anyone tell you how to live your life. Nobody tells you how to love your life.

>>16053832

I'm just giving you suggestions on how to not live a life full of hate and misogyny. I can tell that you're a bitter incel. Reading some stories written by women who struggle with the current patriarchal society will help you understand how hard it is to be a woman.

>Where did did this stupid meme come from that being smart makes you depressed?
I didn't say that being "smart" (I don't think that I am) made me depressed or that it makes anyone depressed necessarily, just that the same sort of thing happened to me. As to what the actual cause was, I'm not sure. Maybe I just have some kind of mental illness.

>>16053994
Why is that worse?

>>16054001
21st century thinking

>>16053995
Of course you dont, because you're a privileged man. You've never been raped. You've never been sexually assaulted. You've never been harrassed. You've never been denied a job because of your gender.

>>16054001
If you are depressed then you aren't smart enough to recognise what is making you feel depressed. Or you're mentally ill.

>>16054018
Correct. Being privileged and having an easier life is a good thing and I have no interest in giving it up.

>>16053890
they aren't even in their late 20s and it's skyrocketing.

>>16053832
Holy moly guacamole that's-a fucking based one right there!

>>16054019
Being smart makes you depressed because you can think more deeply about all the bad things that have happened to you.
Dumb people are lucky they go through life forgeting about shit that would keep a smart person up at night for years.

>>16054019
Depression is a mental illness. It doesn't matter whether you understand the cause because it takes away your will to fix it.

>>16053832
My thoughts exactly.
You niggers have it the easiest on the planet, and depression isn't real. SHUT UP.

I just think incel is a stupid buzzword with even less meaning than usual, would make sense if we were in a world with tribes of men fighting over the last dozen women or something but it's just silly at best and delusional at worst.

>>16054047
People can become depressed due to a bad life style.
>>16054046
Someone smart would understand that thinking about those bad things or experiences doesn't help in the present.

>>16054046
A smart person is smart enough to deal with depression just fine before it even really hits them while a dumb person can't even be bothered.
It's the midwits who are smart enough to be depressed but can't climb out of the hole they've dug for themselves.

>>16054046
Bait

>>16054046
And you believe that you are smart, don't you?

>>16054077
That's not true. See dumb people make the same mistakes over and over because they are too dumb to experience consequences. Smart people make a mistake once because they torture themselves over it.

>>16054086
You can be depressed and still carry on an achieve. Its just not that enjoyable.
>>16054094
Absolutely. Its been proven to me on countless occasions. Do you think intelligent people believe they are stupid?

>>16053859
hyper based.

>>16054103
Maybe if they were also devoid emotions. You are describing a psychopath not a smart person.

>>16054117
A smart person is rational and determined, you are probably neither.

>>16054143
Determination actually has nothing to do with intelligence. Some of the dumbest people are the most determined in the world.

>>16054153
I guess that I described a good person, then a smart person is rational. But not necessarily determined.

>>16054108
>Absolutely. Its been proven to me on countless occasions. Do you think intelligent people believe they are stupid?
Depression is really the disease of the midwit.

>>16054164
But your fictional person doesn't get upset when they fail or when life shits on them. Presumably they have little to no emotion. What makes them good? You can be rational and determined and do nothing but pure evil. Doing bad is easily rationalized. If you don't believe in moral consequence and you don't feel attachment to people then you have no limits to what you are capable of. A person who never gets depressed must not feel attachment to people. I only really get depressed from my interactions with others.

>>16053832
Based and this pilled. Nothing makes me cringe harder than people jerking themselves off in faux self deprecation.

>>16054198
>I'm so smart that I think I'm an idiot

>>16054205
Who said I'm not a midwit? I had depression too and I also thought I was more intelligent than I actually was.

>>16054200
A smart person is virtuous, since rationally that is the best thing someone can be for himself.
Someone virtuous has morals, what makes you think that someone rational has no emotions?

>>16054209
I don't think I'm more intelligent than I am. I am just self aware of the fact that I have a much easier time than other people with some things. The thing is everything is so easy for me I feel no sense of achievement for doing them. When I got into one of the top universities in the country I had put only the barest minimum of effort in. I never fail at things that require mind power. I am depressed because I'm alone and I cant relate to people.
Not trying to blog but since I am being psychoanalyzed I guess I need to clarify.

>>16054231
Then challenge yourself, and why can't you relate with anyone? Do you have no interests?

>>16054231
>I don't think I'm more intelligent than I am. I am just self aware of the fact that I have a much easier time than other people with some things.

This is very similar to me. Intelligence doesn't mean the same as wisdom. You need purpose in life. I solved my problems with Christ.

>>16053832
The one thing that irritates me nowadays is "depressed" 20-something year olds.

Yeah, I was depressed too...IN FUCKING HIGHSCHOOL. Cut it out with that teenager shit, and unironically pull yourself up by the boot straps. If you're no longer a teenager and still "DUH PRESSED", maybe you just need to fucking lift some weights and make some friends, Jesus Christ.

You're in your mid fucking 20's and you're literally squandering the prime of your youth because you're too scared to engage life? Fuck off. "Oh, woe is me, I'm almost 30!". Dude, shut the fuck up. I'm barely 24, and 30 years old is STILL fucking young to me.

Hell, even 40 seems somewhat young, in my honest fucking opinion. Middle-age is like fucking 50/55/60. I've seen and drank with 35 and 40 year olds with waaaaaaaaaaaaay more life and vigor than some of my 25 year old "still-stuck-in-highschool" friends.

Wow, you don't have a good degree? Wow, you need to pay rent? Wow, your job sucks? What? You think you're the ONLY FUCKING ONE? What's worse, a lot of you guys have middle class to upper-middle class parents, and have a huge fucking safety net.

People from working class parents don't have that same fucking safety net YOU do, yet it's always the working class kids who learn how to live life to the fullest; having fun, meeting people, dancing, living life.

Grow the FUCK up by staying YOUNG. That's IT. Fuck you. End of story.

t. Guy in his mid 20's

>>16054258
A few reasons. I have a hangup about honesty and unfortunately I can always tell when someone is lying to me and it hurts me more than it should because I never lie. People are flakey and ignore my messages and I only talk to people when I really want to talk to someone. Other people send a million messages a day and forget about half of them. That is also very upsetting to me.
Basically I'm to intense and needy and if people won't respect that about me I see it as a personal rejection and get very resentful towards them.
That's because I listen to them and remember the things that bother them and try not to do them. But they don't notice things like I do. Or they just don't care. Its not because I haven't tried.

>>16054306
You need to love with humility, friend. To love expecting nothing in return. Humility is not thinking less of you, but thinking on you less.

>>16053832
Extraordinarily based, fuck fags with "depressive realism"

>>16054306
Honestly I can relate to that, but I don't know what your plan is because the majority of people are going to be like that. Either you stop interacting with people or simply look past that kind of behaviour, and accept that most people are like that.

>>16054346
Good advice. Hard to practice.
>>16054365
How do you accept that without looking down on them? See my problem is I'm getting very bitter. I'm starting to just see everyone as worthless garbage so I guess I'm leaning towards the first option.
If I can be a genuine person why should I have to deal with these frivolous liars and pretend we are the same? So that's why I can't relate to anyone.

>>16053832
baste and roastpilled

>>16054404
Yes, it is. That's why you need to search for a strength that's not proper of yourself. That's why we need God. It's by imitating God, who loves us unconditionally even if we don't love him, that we can reach perfection.

>>16054404
From reading your posts I can tell you're not very smart, you're just very good at memorizing and being told what to do. This is why you're bitter and feel ''depressed'' because even though you made it into the top university in your country, you don't feel accomplished. You need something that has meaning, you have the feeling to do something, write something, invent something but alas, you cant. Your brain has been conditioned to only think what it has been told, you were lifted up as genius for it, being fooled and lied too. I'd be depressed too anon.

>>16054404
You also have the third option of looking for someone genuine that you can relate to, although this option is definetly the hardest.
You also don't have to pretend that you are the same, at least if you don't want or need any friends. But then what is really the point of having a social life?
As to what this anon said >>16054460 If you are truly intelligent, and you consider everything too easy, then why don't you try to challenge yourself with something harder?

>>16054460
I have drawers worth of things I've written and art I've created and if it wasn't great I destroyed it out of shame. You don't know me m8. I only care about finding love so no amount of academic achievement or artistic crearion will ever satisfy me unless it impresses the girl I like. Damnit I hate talking about my problems.

>>16054306
>That's because I listen to them and remember the things that bother them and try not to do them.
Unfortunate lesson: being outwardly and constantly considerate of other people makes them see you as a resource and unworthy of consideration in turn. It's a sick game and I wish it wasn't so, but you actually have to play kind of aloof until the stakes are clearly high - then feel free to dispense some consideration. Somehow THAT makes people respect you and reciprocate.
You're setting yourself up to be the doormat.

But with your high expectations you are never going to find anyone you like, you have dug a hole for yourself. And that is not very smart.

>>16054231
>When I got into one of the top universities in the country I had put only the barest minimum of effort in.
Consider that you might not be well calibrated. I tested into a top university purely on the "aptitude" segment. Turned out the curriculum was baby shit compared to some classic textbooks in my field. I'm almost embarrassed to even have my degree.
Thinking you're hot shit and can't relate to proles is almost always delusion. You need to push until you find something difficult instead of assuming what you've been spoonfed is all there is.

>>16053913
This feels both like a copypasta and an original troll. Which one is it?

>>16053983
>Where did did this stupid meme come from that being smart makes you depressed?
From depressed people who think they're smart, obviously.

>>16054569
Well believe me I would happily trade all the intelligence I have about everything else if I could be a genius at love. I realize how cringe that sounds. I'm not even that shallow. I mean I have some physical vanities like anyone but I'm not looking for some 10/10 super model. All I want is the same level of care that I am willing to give. I don't see whats so hard about that. Its not hard for me to do it.

>Cut it out with that teenager shit, and unironically pull yourself up by the boot straps. If you're no longer a teenager and still "DUH PRESSED", maybe you just need to fucking lift some weights and make some friends

Fuck that shit just be yourself and actually mature. Youth is universally considered more retarded than the Old for a reason.

>>16053795
There should be no such thing as "smart kid" or creative, lazy, dumb, etc.
most kids are average and still developing their interest and personality, grading them, and putting expectations on them is damaging, no wonder they all think they have some mental illness in their teens when the world becomes harder.

all the "smart" and or talented kids that bloomed early are average adults, failing at life, some I knew even committed suicide, but that girl that finished art high school and never went to college, she is able to work the interior design from home/laptop and is traveling the world now and is just 25 yo.

Why does one of the characters say something like what I said in that post and then something terrible happens to them? I haven't seen it.

>>16054902
From what I can tell from personal experience being very talented at drawing from a young age: talent exists, but needs to be fostered.
If it's not raised and nourished, and is instead just praised, then the child grows up with a sense of self-importance and a withered work ethic, and when the laziness catches up with the 'talent', they start to fall behind compared to other people with more discipline. The sense of loss felt when this is realized is large, because a talented child's ego is built up quickly through school, and when their pride collapses they fall in to a depression.
I agree that there should be no such thing as a "smart kid", but it's difficult to avoid comparison in a school environment. Personally I think kids should have strong mentor figures to foster interests, which teachers are largely incapable of with large class sizes; the responsibility falls in the hands of the parents.

When you are a child and every other child around you is just itching to start masturbating and drinking like the big people do it is taken as an assumption that reading even the trashier of trash will take them away from that path and make them become engineers, doctors and architects(you know... worthwhile careers).

The reality is that reading was an activity associated with middle, higher and the higherest class and with many things that get associated with those people it's assumed than even superficial imitation is the ritual to become just like them.

>Bro just get over it what are you stupid
Your brain is to small to generate complex emotions.

>>16055187
It has been empirically proven that depressed people are generally less intelligent than non-depressed people. The fact that you believe otherwise just means you fell for the Hollywood/literary fiction meme that smart = sad

>>16055187
If you are too stupid to not recognise that doing nothing all day is the main cause of your depression then you are a retard. Go play vidya all day and seethe more nigger.

>>16055212
Sad and depressed aren't the same thing. I think this thread is failing to make the distinction between being sad and having chemical brain imbalance.
Being lonely because your crush ignored your text isn't depression.

>>16055226
You know what I meant.

>>16055215
Who said anything about doing nothing all day? Stop projecting.

>>16055173
I do recognize what makes me depressed, but there's nothing I can do about. Have you ever come across an obstacle which you know you cannot overcome due to social or historical context?

>>16055252
Are you really depressed or are you just sad/lonely/hungry/whatever? Being lonely isn't being depressed.

>>16055252
No. I'm intelligent enough to overcome all obstacles I may encounter. Unlike you, oh oh oh

>>16055226
You can be depressed due to a bad or unhealthy lifestyle or due to being mentally ill.
>>16055238
>Who said anything about doing nothing all day
It is a major cause of why so many people are depressed nowadays.
>Stop projecting.
You were the one that immediately got defensive, I'm not projecting anything.
>>16055252
Are you depressed due to your lifestyle or are you diagnosed?

>>16055281
I mean, if I keep my goals simple, such as securing livelihood, then I wouldn't be despondent. However, if you have higher goals, then many times you come across insurmountable obstacles given certain social context. It's just the way it is.
>>16055276
If we want to be precise with words, I guess embittered describes me better. I vacillate between being melancholic and embittered.

I'm sad because my illustrated picture book is incredible, but all agents ask for is inclusive diversity and pro-LGBTQ+ themes. I've read hundreds of picture books, and I know mine is very good. However, no agent will represent even after the endless querying process. Pic-related is what most agents resemble.
I do have one short story published in a literary journal.

>>16055296
I have a job you are assuming shit about anonymous people personal lives thinking you have insight. It makes me cringe. But this thread did help me realize that I am not actually depressed. So that's cool.

>>16055028
talented? or did you have an interest in drawing, maybe you liked how cartoons or comics looked when you were a child and wanted to recreate that, think about it you will never see a child who is not interested in let's say baking make perfect cookies, but a child that is interested, maybe grew up watching adult bake whit interest (or TV shows) will make them decent first try because he cares about it and is interested.

>>16053832
>trrrrring trrrring
You have a phone call mister, do you wish to take it?

>>16055375
Nah talent is a thing. I loved cartoons as a kid and wanted so bad to be good at drawing but I sucked and it took me 20 years to get good.
But I was great with words practically from birth. I spoke my first full scentence at 5 months.

>>16053795
Nah dude I read a fuckton as a kid and I'm far better for it. It made me seem funny and intelligent to people who got Impressed when I used the word diligently. If you're an escapist you will ruin yourself no matter what you use to escape.

>>16055443
You are dumb by your own standards because you didn't make a distinction between depression and other emotions. You don't "feel depressed" you either are or you aren't.
To say a smart person should be able to just turn off their depression or any emotion really doesn't make sense.
Emotions and intelligence are two seperate things.
Suppressing emotion isn't intelligence either so you can't be too smart to feel you are just repressed.

>>16055482
>You don't "feel depressed" you either are or you aren't.
What? If you "feel depressed" then you are depressed. Don't really understand what you meant with this.
>To say a smart person should be able to just turn off their depression or any emotion really doesn't make sense.
I did not say that, I said that someone smart or intelligent should be able to recognise the cause of his depression, whether it is because of a bad or unhealthy lifestyle or due to mental illness.
>Emotions and intelligence are two seperate things.
Never said otherwise.
>Suppressing emotion isn't intelligence either so you can't be too smart to feel you are just repressed.
Someone intelligent is rational, and will not act emotionally. This does not mean that someone intelligent is emotionless.

>>16055443
>they are blatantly indoctrinating children.
I know. I made a video touching on it:
https://youtu.be/OkiqFBH2Qoo
I also had plans to develop a data mining or web scraping algorithm to use on websites like QueryManager and more in order to determine the proportion of literary agents pushing leftist nonsense. I have dropped this plan because I think it's obvious to anyone with half a brain now.

>>16055541
Emotions are very powerful. You can be rational and do irrational things because emotions make you.
You are thinking of willpower not intelligence. You need a lot of willpower to endure emotional suffering and not act on it. But you could be a absolute genius and be an even bigger slave to emotion than a dumb guy because you think about it more.

>>16053832
basado y mucho rojo-pastillado, si si.

>>16055581
>You can be rational and do irrational things because emotions make you.
You cannot be rational and irrational at the same time, that doesn't make sense. If someone does something irrational then he by definition cannot be considered rational.
>You are thinking of willpower not intelligence. You need a lot of willpower to endure emotional suffering and not act on it.
Now that I think about it, what is the difference between being rational and having willpower? Aren't both about not acting on you emotions or urges? Isn't willpower more like being determined?

>>16055328
why does the tweet look like that?

>>16053832

>>16055646
You can know what you are doing is the wrong thing and do it anyway because emotions make you. You are not irrational, you understand that you are being forced by your lack of willpower to cave to your emotions.
That's different than just pure irrational emotion.
I could agonize over a decision and then choose based on emotion. That wouldn't make me irrational.

>>16055710
That isn't the definition of rational, if you act on something emotionally and it is bad, then you are being anything but rational.

>>16055852
I also want to add that I think that being irrational is the lack of willpower, and that being rational is the exact opposite.
And if someone intelligent must be rational, then he must he must have willpower.

>>16054647

Time to man up, exercise does help. Are you anti-science?

>>16054647
Unironically yes, what other plan do you have? Do you want my fat cock down your throat? Would that make you feel better nigger?

>>16055890
Well you would be 100% wrong. You think every different thing is the same thing. Acting on emotion isn't irrational acting without logic is irrational. You could come to a logical conclusion that following your heart is the best choice. It may not work out and someome could call you irrational later. But they may not have made a better choice.
In fact if we want to make false equivalency your version of rarionality sounds more like cowardice. Like you are too afraid to act without total control of a situation.

>>16053795
Protip: Your sexual organs compete with your brain in the use of nutrients, hormones and mental energy.

The bigger the brain, the less time you should spend on masturbation, sex or sexual stimulation of any kind.

If you are highly intelligent, you are not a nigger, you cant just have sex whenever you want, you will damage your brain when being sexually active.

Someone should have taught you to not masturbate and surpress your sexual desires.

>>16056149
If you were an actual genius like me you could cum buckets till your brain was at 50% capacity and still be 100x smarter than average.
I pity those who must deprive themselves in hopes of gaining a few IQ points. They will never know what its like to be a true ubermensch.

>>16056173
Thats now how it works, your brain will just become clouded, you will become depressed and disintrested, etc

Depression amongst higher IQ people is primarily caused by then engaging in too much sexual stimulation.

>>16056123
>Acting on emotion isn't irrational acting without logic is irrational.
Being emotional is the exact opposite of being rational, so acting emotionally must be irrational. Acting on emotion is mostly without logic, just because something makes you feel good doesn't mean that it is actually good. That would be irrational.
>In fact if we want to make false equivalency your version of rarionality sounds more like cowardice. Like you are too afraid to act without total control of a situation.
Someone rational does not act on emotion but on logic. That is my version, I don't understand what you meant with this since I have never said that someone rational can only act in perfect circumstances. Someone rational must act in the most logical way possible in whatever situation he is in. A coward is scared and thus acts on emotion.

>>16056247
A coward is irrationally scared*
I wanted to change that, because someone intelligent isn't emotionless. He simply doesn't act on those emotions.

>>16055647

Anon your simpleminded thinking is making my head hurt. Emotion is not the opposite of rationality.
I just told you sometimes in uncertain circumstances the most logical choice is to follow your heart. Try to understand.

>>16053859
What pisses me off is when they act like it's everybody else's fault. You know the whole "I was always told I was gifted and smarter than the rest of my class, so I never developed a work ethic blah blah blah." Yea retard, well now you're 17, 18, however many years old and you're still a lazy piece of shit by choice. That's no one's fault but your own. Makes me so angry. Fucking hate those stupid memes. God there's even a subreddit for it. I think it's like /r/aftergifted or something.

Emotion isn't, but acting emotionally is because it is irrational.
>the most logical choice is to follow your heart.
Intuition isn't logical, tell me one situation where it would be.

You can also do a lot of sports outdoors.

>>16056313
And how can you call me simpleminded when you have been trying to convince me that intuition, something completely irrational, is actually somehow rational.
You might as well try to convince me that war is peace and that diversity is our strength anon, this is ridiculous.

I had a teacher call me over privately and thank me profusely for writing a decent essay for some assignment as if it was some kind of relief from having to grade tons of trash. I still don't think I was that kid but was kind of a surreal experience considering it was AP English and my classmates were supposed to be smart kids too.
