His point, probably, is that in both cases there is a lack of self control and chastity, which is what is the important thing and that which you should be cultivating. In both cases, it is delusion. When you say to use your 'imagination' what else can anyone understand that to mean other than imagining sex in your own head to masturbate to, which is essentially like running a porno in your head.

>>23197622
I made my first friend at eighteen; I met him in a shelter off Petersburg. Before then, I lived in an unkind home, sheltered, uneducated, and entirely unknown to the world. I had never even attended school.
He taught me various things— how to talk, for instance, and introduced me to a girl. I developed a timid respect for him despite the fact that he was only five years older than I, and a fellow resident at the "home." My feelings gradually turned to platonic affection, and I, despite my incredibly reserved nature, began to feel as though I could be comfortable around another human being.

It was Sunday, and the overcast sky was visible from the window above my bed— we were to head for Church service in Petersburg within an hour. I cannot say what provoked it, but I found him on top of me. I did not resist. He had my calves gripped in his large hands and lifted into the air, while his groin thrust between my legs. In those moments, I really felt nothing but a kind of "submissive passivity." It felt more as if I were witnessing these events through an utterly disinteresting commercial, besides a strange "shadow" of what I should be feeling. Humiliation of course, but at the same time, guilt. I could feel something shameful as well, a feeling that I would more describe as pain than pleasure, nevertheless welling up inside of me. To be clear, I didn't want to feel it— it reminded me of the times that I would lie on my bed while my father "trained" the rebellion out of me. I suppose that's why I failed to resist.

After some time, and my humiliation completed, he left. I entered the shared bathroom quite shakily, panting, and tried to cause the shameful feeling to leave me. It did not, even after sitting on the toilet for nearly thirty minutes. I would have sat there all day— perhaps starved— if our handler had not called for me. I carried the "shame" inside of me during Church service— and felt as though I were a demon defiling consecrated ground with my unholy presence. I never made another friend after that, and I attempted suicide a week later.

Please don't repost shit from last thread. No one cared then, no one cares now.

>>23197639
Hey, I just want writing feedback. Go whine where someone will care.

is petersburg different from st. petersburg (florida) and st. petersburg (russia)

>>23197649
No.

This thread is for anons to express their current thoughts and how they are feeling, quite literally what is 'on their mind'. Not to post excerpts from their work to receive criticism. That would be /wg/- Writing General, which is here:

I didn't read anything in Janaury and February as I was very busy, but I'm back on it now. This is what I've read so far this year.

>>23197620
actually it's a contest for authors under 6"

you and I didn't make it bro, thank god

This negotiation for the house is brutal, just brutal.

>>23197666
A lot of what happens in /wwoym/ is creative writing, and a lot of creative writing reflects the current thoughts and feelings of the writer.
Besides, I already had something posted in /wg/, and the thread is going to be off the board soon. Then I would just receive the same complaint next /wg/ー

blessed wwoym thread

>>23197711
What I am saying is if you are hoping to receive legitimate literary criticism for your writing, you are more likely to find it on /wg/, since that is what that general is designed for. wwoym is mostly designed for anons to vent and receive general life advice. It is true that on any given wwoym thread you will see anons post excerpts but you will also see no one respond to them, as was the case with yours last thread. I'm just trying to help you get what you want. I'd even encourage you to start the next /wg/ thread with that excerpt since the current /wg/ is about to archive. Best of luck.

I'm putting together a team

>>23197756
They dont want to see this team getting back together.

>>23197644
Feedback: it's gay fetish porn. You are gay.

>>23197726
Ah, thanks. It's okay. Most posts in general receive little or no attention even on /wg/, and I like the opinions of general readers more even if it tends to be more hostile. Thanks for the heads up though :-)
(I do have a post on /wg/, but it didn't go anywhere. Sad!)

i am man from who god hid everything

I-I AM GOING TO SAY IT!!!
*INHALES*

>>23197775
I can say about what you posted here is it is gay erotica and many adult-minded anons are not going to give you much literary criticism on a theme like that since it is so depraved and perverse.

>>23197756
i see something like this and i picture a girl getting spitroasted

>>23197789
Well it isn't gay erotica desu but I guess that's how it would appear from this. This is just what was on my mind at the time, like a writing shitpost intertwined with a blogpost. I'm not gay and the story was not erotic for me.

>>23197783
*exhales*

>>23197789
I guess that's good feedback in itself. It wasn't erotic or gay for me desu just depressing, mostly just a shitpost inspired by random unrelated stuff I read.

>>23197839
>inspired by random unrelated stuff I read.
You mean gay rape erotica?

>>23197842
Hahaha. No.

>>23197711
>A lot of what happens in /wwoym/ is creative writing, and a lot of creative writing reflects the current thoughts and feelings of the writer
Then why does it read like /adv/ for most of the time?

Can anyone give me advice on where I should I post my gay erotic rape fantasy for feedback? Thanks.

Have you ever been close to death, Anon? What were your thoughts like at the moment when you realized you were going to die? When I was having an asthma attack outside during a brutal cold wave in a remote area with no people in sight, I remember thinking, "I want to tell my loved ones how much I love them," and "there are so many things that I want to do", but then the asthma attack started to ease off, and I was able to reach a safe place. And for some fucked up reason, I didn't do what I had been grieving over several minutes ago. I didn't call my loved ones, and I kept putting off things that I wanted to do, as if nothing happened that day. And it didn't even bother me until a few days ago when I began to reflect once again on what happened.

Seeing a neuropsychologist, finally gonna find out what's wrong. The first day of the rest of my life starts tomorrow.
Each of the three possible outcomes will warrant it's maxim.

Super tempted to skip my classes today

Do you think people who aren’t progressive idiots should move to states like Texas and Florida? I want to stay in the state I grew up in near my family but everything is rapidly getting worse and I’m increasingly not seeing a successful future for myself here.

>>23197950
Classic case.

I've noticed that I've become way more defensive and socially anxious and just more worried about what people say ever since I broke up with my ex about 6 months ago.

We used to talk for an hour every single night and she always made me feel heard and I guess there is something so secure in knowing that you are heard and understood every single day. And now without the security from our nightly talks, I am weak, fragile, and susceptible to all unnecessary trolling I receive irl and online

>>23198089
you don't have to engage with politics, or other people at all for that matter

>>23198089
Do you really think moving to Texas or Florida will improve your quality of life?

>>23198039
People have been saying some variation of this for decades. Everyone wants the New York of their youth.

>>23198089
My grandma used to say "no matter where you go, there you are". That is to say, people are people everywhere, all having the same wants, passions and desires. Having lived all over the country, while I can say certain regions and cities did have unique characteristics, generally speaking there is no real difference whether you live in Oregon, Florida, Arkansas, Massachusetts, wherever. Especially with how big the internet has become and how it has allowed major media to more easily influence the masses. Maybe 100 years ago you could have really seen a major difference between states, and cities within states, but not really anymore. My 2 cents. Moving somewhere different can definitely be a healthy experience but change is going to ultimately come from your own will and desire to change, the change in environment will be very minor.

>>23197762
I wonder what makes it go from a raw account of sexual assault to gay fetish porn? Where is the literary line drawn?

>>23198131
I do though and not only because I’m a citizen but also because I work for a university. Even just the DEI stuff has effectively rendered my career a dead end. Only women and ethnic minorities get hired let alone promoted at my institution now. I could potentially salvage my career by going to somewhere like Florida.

>>23198255
I think your grandma was making a point about something which is not relevant in this instance. That people segregate based on politics is pretty much a fact of life and probably necessary.

>>23198234
I don’t know. That’s why asked. I definitely think there’s more professional and social potential, yeah. What if I was a young conservative politician or something? Obviously, my life would be improved by going where people will actually vote for me. So yeah, that’s totally possible.

>>23198292
No, my grandma always clarified after that statement that what she meant was that people are people everywhere. She'd often follow it up with the Bible verse "there is nothing new under the sun", further emphasizing her point that people do not change on a fundamental level.

>>23198310
Okay, but if I take it as applicable to this scenario I must also take it as applicable to all scenarios so your grandmother’s advice is effectively “never go anywhere”.

I have officially lost the plot. Staring into the pleroma and its looking an awful lot like void.

Never forget that libs allied with muslim people - suicidally - merely because of their malice against Christian civilization In their race to displace one public orthodoxy, they imported another that will be far less tolerant.

>>23198379
Libs are just pawns.

>>23198379
assuming muslims can over power libs. If libs were all it took for muslims to over power christianity, then its clear that libs were the dominant part of that dynamic. The second the muslims start being "intolerant" they will be quelled. The. the religion will be liberalism. praise be to progress.

>>23198393
That has yet to be seen, it’s just getting started.

>>23198379
Those people aren’t libs though. Never were. I don’t think it’s helpful to keep calling them libs.

>>23197622
I just found out that beauty standards of the 90's (rail thin coat hangers with legs) were set by majority of gay men who were attracted to twinks, not women.

>>23198403
I think that implying that libs + Muslims > christianity, when christianity is such a dominant religion on the world stage compared to the Muslim religion, in other words christianity >> muslim, then it must also imply that, at least as it stands, libs > muslim. Meaning that the muslim religion is not the one in the position to subjugate anything.

After being a perfectionist for many years, I eventually realized "good enough" was enough. I wish I had integrated that sooner.

>>23198456
Maybe you can't think that when you're starting, you push for the ideal until you're close at which point you're competent enough that what you do with relative ease is actually good enough.

>>23197622
I just took some ADHD meds. I feels like it’s made me more hyper, maybe I am thinking faster but I can’t tell. I want to go for a run right now but I also feel extremely anxious. If I sit still I feel the need to constantly move my tongue and Jaw. I still can’t focus all to well. I am sweating much more.

I have a lot of OCD-esque thoughts about something bad happening to me. You could be just living your life and then develop a muscle wasting disease or lose your legs in a car accident or something awful like that, and there's nothing you can do to change that. Shit makes me pathologically anxious sometimes.

Just don't be who you are in the situation you're in, dumbass.

I went out on a date with this one this chick a while back and I knew she was interested in me somewhat but I couldn't really afford to be in a relationship due to a lot of family complications. But during that date we got drunk and while I did keep my hands to myself, when I said good bye to her she ran up to me and kissed me and left. We haven't really talked since. I'm wondering if I should even bother trying to hang out with her again.

>>23198553
fuck her in the living room, out of spite with family spectating

>>23198573

>>23198456
what constitutes of good enough?

>>23198411
How did you find out? It was one of our best guarded secrets! Im victor-ia by the way.

The suicidal thoughts are flaring up again. Classic.

>>23198510
Damn. Thanks. Do you have a book out? Or maybe a podcast? Where can I buy your supplements?

>>23198553
I suspect she is waiting for you to talk to her my man. She probably thinks you think she is weird for being so forward and would be relieved to know that you don't think that way. The ball is in your court dude. Go for it.

>>23198621
why the suicide?

>>23198469
I don't know. I don't care about being competent anymore. I'm just doing my job, and I'm not very good at it. I'm good with that.
>>23198606
Good enough is when you get to that tipping point where any improvement takes double the time and effort. People don't care that you are going above and beyond. Just do what you set yourself to do and move on. The field doesn't matter.

>>23198654
>People don't care that you are going above and beyond
but I cannot do otherwise, its like I have to overwork myself even if no one notices it.

>>23198295
When you say "everything is rapidly getting worse," what do you mean exactly? If you work for a university, you will probably find yourself in a very similar cultural milieu regardless of what state you're in.

>>23198477

>but I cannot do otherwise, its like I have to overwork myself even if no one notices it.
The thing is that more often than not you won't get the reward you think you'll get. I know of the high you are chasing. It's mental stuff. Good for you though anon if you are happy that way. I know I wasn't. When I was like you I had shitty sleep, felt like everyone was out at me and didn't feel any appreciation for what I did and it hurt.

>>23198679
>When I was like you I had shitty sleep, felt like everyone was out at me and didn't feel any appreciation for what I did and it hurt.
It literally me RIGHT now. I just expect that honest work = honest wage. I just hyperfocus on my job because there's nothing else going on in my life. Sudden changes are bad because they leave me unprepared.

I hate this little life I’ve built for myself. I wish I had done things differently…

>>23197634

You are not going to starve by sitting on a toilet for one day or even five days.

The excerpt is fairly well-written but it's not believable in the least. How to talk? First friend at 18? Never made a friend after that? Attempted suicide a week later? Yeah... right.

Don't be so dramatic. If you're going to describe a certain kind of character you have to spend a hell of a lot more time making us believe this kind of person is even possible. Even less plausible is that this person who is ostensibly uneducated and doesn't know how to talk is the POV narrator writing phrases like "utterly disinteresting commercial blah blah blah..."

>>23198001
It was really nice in the 90s

Since life is unfair, why shouldn't I long for that which I do not deserve?

>>23198762
do not deserve?

>>23197622
ive come to find out that a guy who at one point tried to calm my moral qualms about attempting to steal another man's gf, has had his wife leave him. i remember we we're on top of a rooftop and he said 'you know its 2022, i think everyone is okay with cheating nowadays'. LOL

I literally can’t sleep and have constant anxiety because I have this sense that I’m not doing what I should be doing or somehow already failed to do it.

>>23198731
>It was really nice in the 90s
Objectively speaking it was much more dangerous than it is today

The leftist conception of communitay is a combination polycule/trap house/trafficking operation. Leftists bleating about the loss of muh community are no more to be taken seriously than pimps talking about chastity.

yea, no shit
you should be sleeping

>>23198676
I haven’t jerked off yet, don’t feel the need to, but I think it’s slowly started to wear off. I don’t have to move my jaw, and not sweating anymore. Driving felt more difficult. Strange because it’s supposed to last 10 hours
>>23198669
Not sure, I kinda hope I do have it because that somewhat excuses my mental retardation

how do i cope with not being damion dayski

>>23197622
The phrase “Every Accusation Is A Confession” could not be anymore true. They preserve their unity and sow division amongst everyone else. They use the shield of victimhood while attacking as the aggressor.

This is how actual Supremacy operates.

>>23198873
That's nor how actual supremacy works. That's how fake, acted supremacy works.
True supremacy is the supremacy of virtue and merit.

Why did Frank Herbert die at the relatively young age of 65?

LARP can get cringe very easily, but it's what a lot of society has always been built on. Alexander the Great LARPed as an Egyptian Pharaoh and Persian Emperor, Roman Emperors all LARPed as Ceasar.

LARP is about what you do with it, ultimately. Knew a girl in highschool, very vapid, very shallow. Had careerist ambitions. Got married and got into head coverings and trad memes. LARP?

I'm helping her husband and five kids slaughter hogs this weekend.

>>23198893
Because his books sucked.

>>23198883
I agree, it’s more deceptive.

>>23198931
Someone who needs to pretend to have supremacy can't possibly have any real sort of actual supremacy. Believing that exactly means falling to their lies.

>>23198883
>True supremacy is the supremacy of virtue
Supremacy has nothing to do with virtue.

>>23198920
I LARP as a gay methhead, I'm totally faking it of course.

"I want to leave," said Anna, hugging me tight, her petite body trembling between my arms. "There is nothing in this world for me. I think I might not make it," she sniffed before she fell silent. I could feel her tears down my collar. "Aren't you?" I whispered, tousling her hair. "I saw you struggle. You did great," I said. For some reason, that seemed to make her cry even more, and her weight shifted onto me. My focus was now on not falling backwards. We were outside because we were initially planning to get pizza, and the situation was awkward. Not something I had expected in a pizza night with a cutie pie. So I tried something. "It's alright, I'm here," I said. She bursted into whines that were akin to small animal screams. Guess I fucked up again. I waited a few minutes for her to calm down before asking if she wanted to stay that way or get pizza. She nodded and got out of my chest. Her face was puffy and red. She looked at me for what felt like an eternity and wiped her snot with her sleeve, which I thought was kind of cute. Inwardly, I pumped my fists in relief. I had saved my pizza night.

The things that keep me up at night the most are:
the times when I was in a position of responsibility and let those under me down, and the times when I was rejected or a relationship failed due to something I didn't understand or even perceive until months or years after the fact.

I didn't know why women always wanted drama in the middle of nowhere and not at home, but I hated that shit. Thank God.

>>23198957
You may want supremacy to be related to virtue for personal reasons, feelings, moralistic worldview or something similar but the fact of the matter is that virtue and supremacy are not related.

>>23198974
Saying that power goes without virtue is like saying that money is best spent without the use of economic calculation.

Girl I flirted with is now Instagram famous with over 50k+ followers. I don't know how to feel about that. She kind of deserves it buuut I feel like shit knowing she's going to be more wealthy than I am with a tenth of the work, only by her virtue of being a pretty woman.

>>23199008
Of course! Only those people who are obscenely rich can spend untold amount of money on anything they want. That is the best way to spend money, it is an absolute materilistic supremacy.

Few can afford to do it, those who cannot can only spend their money wisely, actually it is not a bad choice but they are not the at the top.

Damn, my life is so kino (very sad, atomized, and banal).

it kino. I have estranged from my family, have no friends, work in a factory, only leave my apartment for food and alcohol and to pick up books in the mail. the only love I've felt is unrequited. I've been to war and college. I've lived in six states and seen castles in Europe and tombs in Isreal. I'm probably going to kill myself. so fucking kino.

I deployed to Afghanistan a few times. I liked it a lot but don't talk to any of my Army friends anymore. I was infantry. More guys from my platoon have died in traffic accidents since I got out then in combat.
Everywhere feels the same to me, coast to coast.

Chuds are unfuckable because women evolved a disdain for challenges to the status quo, in our early days the chief would kill anyone disloyal to him as well as their wives and children, like lions. The chud gene will soon be extinct, only delegated to the deepest depths of the Louisiana bayou.

>>23199433
Cool, did you get to kill anyone? If so, how was it?

>>23199392
Women don't exist to please you and strangers in your classes are under no obligation to wear footwear that you find sexually attractive. She probably wears crocs because she's just going to class and wants to be comfortable, and doesn't care about making sure she looks appealing to some random perverted footfag sitting next to her.

>>23199434
Don't chuds want to protect the status quo? They are literally traditionalists

>>23199445
At what point do you look around and see a traditional society? Do you live in Afghanistan?

Not by choice. If fact they hate it but no other group will accept them.

Restoring the old status quo isn't really challenging much

ugly men can only be oofy doofies or criminals

Davil Rashanelle sat in the front seat of her vaporwave miyada, cruisin down the highway with her hair down. Dressed up all dandy in a sparkly new (and now rock solid) relationship. Red cap gone black with rain. yeah, that’s her. Been there, done that. She forgave him like he forgave her. Simply thinking about milking her main man’s man meat for his man chowder, like the mustard dispenser from the convenience store where he worked, brought a frothiness to Devil’s loins that doubled her vision. The heavy rain displaced by her vaporwave car’s wiper blades were like her main man’s man meat spraying man chowder all over her. Davil couldn’t help but moan, and her eyes closed, and the wheel turned. Her car penetrated the outer walls of the gas station, consuming Davil in warm goo.

>>23199467
What the fuck is an oofy doofie?

>>23199438
Yes, I killed somewhere between three to five people, or at least shot them along with five other guys. One for sure. I don't know man, I don't feel anything about it.

my cock is beautiful. long and well proportioned. a pink big head to lick and kiss, veins for days, made for sitting on it, slow or fast. hoes cant wait to sit down on it, possesed by the desire to reach the pubic bone even if it hurts. im just a gift for the women of this world (that im welcome to)

>>23199503
Such nice cock ...why do you want to waste it on women? Men have much tighter boipuccies, your cock will appriacate it.

Why do people use vaseline to fap? I thought the sexual stimulus is mainly caused by the amount of friction on the erogonous area. Vaseline reduces the friction.

lol those are cutfags with mutilated cocks, they need a lubricant to fap because they lack foreskin. No foreskin means it's all dried out with no elasticity left therefore they have to use lubricant and their hand in gliding motion to simulate normal elastic skin movement over the penis, on their mutilated cock.

>jews make circumcision the common practice in their host nation (US)
>the people of the US produce media surrounding this topic
>the meme replicates
it's a meme produced by a nation that has taken up Jewish practices because people with foreskins don't need lube or lotion to wack it.

fucking your hand/onahole dry is unthinkable, it's just better with lube. preferably water-based for easier clean up and for no damage to the instrument

If you can recommend good fascist stuff I'd like it
It doesn't have to be a philosophical treatise or be necessarily about fascism

>>23199674
Fucking and faping are two different things. In real fucking wetness of the vagina provides lubrication, if you are "fucking" some plastic sex toy then yes, you need lube for that.

I'm actually getting diagnosed with autism (for real this time). I thought people would contest it, but I told my sibling and my only close friend, and they got teary-eyed and said they've always thought that... I think I can live with myself a little better now. There's less pressure to excel. I can be retarded, chew on my blanket, collect anime figures, isolate myself, and read/research whatever the fuck I want, regardless of merit. I'm retarded!!!!!

Thanks anons. I mask too heavily so no one detects it in my adult life. By the time I'm home, I'm physically disabled by the fatigue of having maintained the mask all day. They originally diagnosed me with depression, but now it's mainly "autistic burnout," where you don't lose interest or pleasure in things; you're just too mentally drained to pursue anything after frying your brain larping all day. I'll probably finish my graduate degree, then live in a van and find remote work...I can't keep doing this.

diagnosis as an adult is nearly pointless. I'm only going through with it because people beyond direct family would never believe me (but continue to think I'm strange and hyper-fixated), and I have the financial means
>I'm just going to keep spiraling down forever
There's really no resources for us :( The degree I'm pursuing would allow me to do biomedical research on ASD. I want to do it for the betterment of us spergs, but I'd have to keep gaslighting myself to survive in academia/medicine.

Spent the past few days getting flashbacks of my last workplace, which I was supposed to have forgotten all about. My fucking dipshit boss who loaded all of his work onto me, preferring to spend his time talking to his fellow faggots about cocks or whatever. Some other bullshit that he pulled on me was
-making me carry eggs over to him from HR, who were all the way over at the top floor, every single week
-go shopping for him, after a while he even started working out and forced me to buy him his shitty sugary protein drinks
-some other shit, which I can't remember right now
Only good thing here is that despite working in a leading position the fucker got paid minimum wage. On the other side though, he got born into a shitton of wealth so he's literally only "working" because he hates his wife and doesn't want to be home.
There was also some other dipshit, who managed the inventory or whatever. He would sit in his office all day, blasting music through the speakers, cuss out everybody he sees, and he would go around slamming and kicking doors open like a fucking psycho. The first time I met him he started yelling like crazy, asking who the fuck I am and throwing something at me. As you may expect I was a bit too surprised to give a proper fucking answer, not that he wanted one. There were two people with their offices right next to his, both good people, and I feel bad knowing that even to this day they're there sitting, doing their jobs while this nigger blasts his shitty music right next door. Now that I think about it, that whole fucking workplace was just really strange. Bunch of freaks.

It's funny how the lived experiences of some people can be so foreign to those of others that they are simply unbelievable. The first time that I ever spoke to a psychiatrist demonstrated this. I guess the unbelievability is its own blessing, in a way.

Got a new monitor. A while back I was shocked by the realization that it would reflect my face on itself, which is something that hasn't happened to me for a very long time now, since the monitor that I've been using for the past few years...did not do that. I don't know why that was the case with it. I wish this new one was like it, I do not want to be gazing on the beautiful smile of some anime girl or another, only to suddenly see my ugly ass troll face reflect upon her. Sometimes I wish that wearing masks was normal.

have you tried being pretty?

My life's not the story of a great man. I'm not someone who stands out from the rest, in fact, I'm struggling to meet eye-to-eye with the common man. On every regard I'm just not good at all, not enough, barely escaping neetdom.
My life's a big tragedy, it's the tale of what could have been had I not been addicted to the lamest fucking thing. Or did the government make an experiment on me? Was I born this way or did someone make me into this? Is every day preordained or did I really fucked up this bad?
My cock is not what it used to be. It hurts a lot when I pull on it. It gets sores after a short session. My right hand is very creaky, it hurts when I hold a pencil. My eyesight is saying goodbye, my body hurting every day a little more and my mind has turned to mush. I feel like a walking corpse.
For more than half of my god damned life I've stared at screens. I've consumed so much pornography whenever I think about it it makes me want to die. I haven't reached the bottom yet, but you'll know when you hear the splat.
I got no talents at all, can't draw can't write can't sing. Never touched a woman in my life, even though I've seen more pussies than my entire bloodline. I can hardly hold down a job, everything feels to scary for me. I just feel so outmatched and so overcome by everything and everyone else.
If I go a couple of days trying not to think of big colorful tits my entire body starts to hurt and my mind demands some more of that same poison that has turned my life into a big fucking joke. Every day there's a war between jerking off and doing anything else, but it's so hard to focus when your pp tingles this hard.
I'm not half the man I could've been. I'm a fucking paranoid weakling porn addict. A victim of society? I was born with everything to be happy except a fucking brain!
And tomorrow will be the same. I'm stuck with this body and face, with this name and all its disgrace. I live with the knowledge that I have wasted so much time and that whatever lies ahead might as well be a consolation price. Uphill battle into nowhere, but it's either that or fucking my hand until my dick gets cancer.
Pornography lives in my brain, it defines my whole being. There is not a single fucking day in which it doesn't take center stage as the worst that's ever happened to me or as the only real pleasure that exists. I've become my own worst enemy.
I will never be anyone. At best the guy who managed to not be a fucking porn addict, but little more than that. Sometimes I really want to die.

No her point is that people are fundamentally the same everywhere--same underlying drives, same desires,
There is cultural and political variation--different, but the real underlying drives don't really change
Maybe you don't believe that
Such a belief in a universal shared humanity tends to either be rooted in religious belief or in the belief that biological drives are pre-eminent above culture. Culture is just window dressing
But regardless of the source of the belief, the idea is basically that people are the same everywhere

All Lives Matter is considered racist because, when you generalize, the mind tends to snap to the normative. Ergo "All Lives Matter" really means "Only White Male Lives Matter."

My birthday was several days ago. It passed by the same as everything
I can't say I've grown as a person. I just drift from job to job, and from place to place never making lasting connection
I haven't been able to find any place i could call home. Everywhere I go i feel like an alien. My name doesn't sound like a real name, at least not an American one. I don't know who I am.
The past two years have felt grotesque, unreal.
I briefly worked in a fish lab. I would breed the brine shrimp to be fed to all the fish. We would mix it with fish flakes into a sludge paste. There were different breeds genetically engineered. The lab was humid, and i would come home reeking of brine shrimp.
When I graduated i couldn't find a job. I got into a conservation job in a small town. Walking through fields from 5am to 5pm digging up weeds
Every morning i woke up to the sound of cows. The ranchhouse I lived in was surrounded by farms. There was a stray cat i liked to let in and feed bits of bread much to the annoyance of my roommate
Same as anywhere I was unable to connect with anyone and quickly ended up alienated and alone
Then i was kicked out. Women always have a problem with me for reasons I don't understand. She didn't like me, thought i was dangerous.
for a period of 3-4 months I just lived out of my car driving aimlessly all around the southwest.
Looking back i remember that time positively despite the fact that several times i thought about driving my car off a cliff
I lived like an animal. Remembering makes me cringe. I don't know why i chose to live like that.
I cringe at the thought of my next family meeting and having to explain what i was doing.
I'm not sure how to move past everything besides trying to forget.
I want connection but hate it in reality. I tried visiting a whore but i felt nothing.
I can't seem to feel anything anymore

Live in the city and have a social life or live in the country and buy a big house and a truck?

>>23200210
>And why do you think people like this? Hm?
Because it's going to be hard talking about Elden Ring and Solo Leveling or whatever people do these days with a 60 year old or a 15 year old. People in your age range tend to have similar interests. Maybe OP doesn't want to be the only 30 year old in a group of seniors discussing the Brady Bunch or the only adult in a group of teens discussing Skibidi toilet??

My muscles are perpetually tense, my heart won't slow down, I feel like a tornado ripped through my chest and I just can't feel it yet. Like my chest is hollow. I'm rushing everything or slowed to a crawl. I fled from my old life without telling anyone, and now I'm willing to fight for this something that hasn't come to fruition yet. I wanted an escape, I got it, and now I'm pacing around alone, going insane in my bedroom. I miss the sun, but I know true warmth is within me. These external influences that constructed my reality were the only thing standing my corpse upright. I existed as a zombie for years, only now do I feel alive but I am absolutely terrified.

Nothing out there in this world more painful than having to retreat to your parents house and spend your days there, dealing with the old spergs on a daily basis.

I'm going to do it, /lit/bros. Combined with the advances I'm making as a poet and a prose writer, too, I'd say that within the next decade I'm going to emerge as a major literary and cultural figure. I can feel things swelling, I can feel the course of things moving in a positive direction for me. I have not hit my peak and I can feel things coming together for me to be a big deal, maybe even internationally renowned.

Basically: I'm gonna make it. I feel it.

Last summer I signed up for a TEFL certification program and I've done everything except the practicum - 20 hours only, but me being the giant coward that I am haven't sent emails out yet to try and find a place to complete it. I could have done it at my university, probably still will, but I'm going to graduate in a couple weeks and now I don't really know what to do. I'm going to do the practicum, otherwise I'll have wasted 2k on taking it. But had I gotten it done already I'd be able to go teach overseas as early as next month...

I don't know what the fuck I'm doing, I've been making shit up as I've gone since stopping being a NEET in 2018. I never actually thought I'd get to the point I'd be on the verge of graduating university at 28 years old and being able to go out and actually live. Anxiety and fear of social interaction still runs rampant within me but even then I know there's nothing to be afraid of but I still am. There is so much I could have done and can still do but the only limiting factor in my life is myself. Fuck man, I can't even go get a haircut because the idea of sitting with the hair dresser for 15 minutes makes me want to kill myself.

I think I'm getting into this mindset as well, whether it be by choice or not. I can't even imagine myself with a girl anymore, not without feeling shame.

>>23200472
>not without feeling shame
Yep. I’ll feel like I’m deceiving the poor girl into thinking I’m something that I’m not. I’m more than capable of making a good impression and maintaining that for a few months. Beyond that, my anger, insecurity and neuroticism will inevitably shine through. A woman worth her salt shouldn’t have to deal with that

To write is to communicate, to say something, but I haven't asked myself what I intend to say. Does it matter what I write if I write it beautifully?

going by their last podcast, dasha desperately wants to play the mc in an adaptation of moshfegh's year of rest and relaxation. I'd probably watch but not pay for it, at least till after dasha got her tits out. iirc, there's no need for that based on the book, but come on, they're alright.

I feel this way sometimes but there are plenty of wackos doing just fine with women. They cheat on their wives/girlfriends. They beat them. They have insane fetishes. They're fat. They're rude. They're ugly. But they still do just fine. Not me though. It's really hard to come to terms with the fact that people perceive me to be worse than a fat, dumb, ugly wife beater. I guess I just need to eventually accept that's just the truth of the matter. tfw no gf...

>>23200544

>>23200544
>I feel this way sometimes but there are plenty of wackos doing just fine with women
Those are women with poor judgement or men who don't feel shame. At the end of the day, I know what I am. I desire a good woman but I'm not a good man. I will not settle for a bad woman so therefore it's better that I remain single. A relationship will exacerbate my worst traits.
>>23200542
>does God love unconditionally?
He's the only one Who loves unconditionally.
>what is unconditional love?
>does it make sense to love someone unconditionally?
St Paul speaks about 1 Corinthians.
>Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.

Love conquers all of these things. Nothing can stand in it's way.

>>23200564
>>23200561
The short answer is that the gifts of the Holy Spirit such as prophesying are for this age while we live in the world as children. However, the love we will experience in the eschaton is complete and atemporal. The long answer is in St John Chrysostom's exegesis of the passage here: https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/220133.htm

>>23200565
i think it's also saying something about how it's intangible too. I wouldn't say it's so much that it conquers those things, but that it transcends them.

I’ll get moments where I feel I may be salvageable. Life could not possibly be this bad. Not for someone like me. I question why I’m so failed, maybe I’m to be miserable. I feel like I’m being punished. But why must grief stick itself to me in the process

There are a lot of them, but I've only read those by Oliver Ready and Pevear + Volokhonsky. The P&V translation is autistically faithful to the original Russian to the point of (sometimes) making no sense. Perhaps useful for academics, but for the average reader it is very awkward.
I found Ready's translation to be far more easily understood and natural-seeming.

Just had a meal, now having a coffee. Somehow this combination always manages to knock me out for a good two hours, my body finds enjoyment in its internal management and busies itself with it, while I'm stuck with mainly laying on my ass, waiting for my body to finish and boot back up.

Not at all, no. I'm not sure why you'd even ask. If you can see yourself doing it and having fun, why not do it?

Wisdom comes with life experience so in a way a man could chose innocence if he choses not to experience life. Though only to a certain extent if he doesn't kill himself. Survival requires a minimum amount of interaction with life that will take away some innocence.

You could have no retreat my man. Have some perspective. Sorry you don't care for your parents company though. I know how that is.

>a man could chose innocence if he choses not to experience life. Though only to a certain extent if he doesn't kill himself.
interesting, very interesting

I read the Maude W&P but I've read the P&V Anna Karenina and the Vintage Ivan Ilyich book. Briggs' Resurrection. McDuff's Cossacks. Wilks' How Much Land Does a Man Need? Hogarth's Childhood, Boyhood, Youth. They all feel like Tolstoy and are not at all awkward. I've read P&V's Crime and Punishment and the Garnett translation of some of Dostoevsky's short stories. I firmly believe that Dostoevsky is the problem, not the translators. I've also read all of P&V's Chekov translations and they were fine. I don't have anything to compare the Chekov against, however.

There are some differences between translations but I would say they are inconsequential. Maude translates Denisov's speech impediment differently to P&V in War and Peace. Maude editions also come with terrible footnotes for the extensive French dialogue. Be prepared to learn a bit of French.

Alright, thanks for the input; I'll give it whirl and feel it out.

>Maude editions also come with terrible footnotes for the extensive French dialogue. Be prepared to learn a bit of French.
The French dialogue is rather intimidating for me. To clarify, do you mean to say the Maude footnotes are terrible because they are so plentiful (on account of the plentiful French dialogue) and thus annoying, or that they are terrible because they do a poor job of translating the French text?

They translate some of it, and only once. Usually long complicated sentences are translated fully but shorter ones get translated the first time and after that they expect you to remember what the words mean. It's usually something like "Hello my dear, how are you? Good?" so it's not too bad if you aren't retarded. You'll have a worse time remember the different character's names if you're really that dumb.

I see. Ok thanks

There are better books about Deals, find a serious one.
Also there are diferents types of Deals. e.g. M&A Deal =/= VC Deal.
A "Deal" can take various forms/nature of the contract.
That world is a combination of finance + legal stuff.

Should I be taking more photos of myself and random shit so I can look back on it when I'm old? I'm only 21 so I haven't missed a bunch of opportunities but still.

What a shit universe this is

Don't you think innocence comes from action, not knowledge? You're "innocent" of a crime because you haven't done it.

You're letting it stick. That's what depression is, anon.

Olivier, it's basically perfect.

same, and i think i'm too used to being alone anyway

>>23201084
Crime is subjective and depends on context, therefore innocence is also subjective.

>You're "innocent" of a crime because you haven't done it.
In the legal sense of the word, yes—one is innocent when one is not guilty—but I'm referring to the other sense of the word: the innocence of children who have not yet seen wickedness.
>Don't you think innocence comes from action, not knowledge?
When I was around five, my mom left me to watch TV while she did something in another room. I had grown bored with my cartoons and decided to flip to a random channel. I flipped through many channels before stopping at a scene of a man looking at himself through a mirror. Suddenly, he grabbed his face by the loose skin of his cheeks and began tearing handfuls of bleeding flesh from his skull, exposing the bare bone beneath. I quickly ran out of the room in a crying flurry of abject horror. My five-year-old brain felt that every ounce of my innocence had been eviscerated.
I was a passive observer; I didn't perform any particular action, let alone commit a crime. The screen simply showed me new information, yet this alone was enough to destroy my innocence.

>>23201310
Why is it making you sad?

>>23201091
Right, which is the model on which all love is based

It's a steaming pile of shit.
