How unbelievably lame is it that the greatest generation and the world war 1 generation turned 18 and got sent to war while the millenials turned 18 and just got sent off to college and a dead economy?

moron

>>23367846
We can't act like the great old times.

>>23367887

Goes to a desert shithole to bring them "democratia"

>>23367887
Yeah man dying of trenchfoot is fuckin based

I legit can't cope with how horrible the world is. It's actively ruining my life, I'm too sensitive.

Too hot, very close to wearing illegal amount of clothes

https://www.dhammatalks.org/books/OnThePath/Section0000.html

There are these five facts that one should reflect on often, whether one is a woman or a man, lay or ordained. Which five?

>“‘I am subject to aging, have not gone beyond aging.’
This is the first fact that one should reflect on often.…

>“‘I am subject to illness, have not gone beyond illness.’ …

>“‘I am subject to death, have not gone beyond death.’ …

>“‘I will grow different, separate from all that is dear & appealing to me.’ …

>“‘I am the owner of my actions [kamma], heir to my actions, born of my actions, related through my actions, and have my actions as my arbitrator. Whatever I do, for good or for evil, to that will I fall heir.’ …

These are the five facts that one should reflect on often, whether one is a woman or a man, lay or ordained.

Now, a disciple of the noble ones considers this:
>I am not the only one subject to aging, who has not gone beyond aging...
>I am not the only one subject to illness, who has not gone beyond illness...
>I am not the only one subject to death, who has not gone beyond death...
>I am not the only one who will grow different, separate from all that is dear & appealing to me..
>I am not the only one who is owner of my actions, heir to my actions, born of my actions, related through my actions, who has my actions as my arbitrator; who—whatever I do, for good or for evil, to that will I fall heir. To the extent that there are beings—past & future, passing away & re-arising—all beings are owner of their actions, heir to their actions, born of their actions, related through their actions, and have their actions as their arbitrator. Whatever they do, for good or for evil, to that will they fall heir.’
When he/she often reflects on this, the path takes birth. He/she sticks with that path, develops it, cultivates it. As he/she sticks with that path, develops it, & cultivates it, the fetters are abandoned, the obsessions destroyed.” — AN 5:57

>>23367954
But are you young?

>>23367943
Doing something that matters is based and nothing matters more than war. War is literally history and politics. LARPing as Harry Potter forever is not based. It doesn’t matter and in the end nobody cares about it.

Regret is the hardest thing to cope with. People will try to say “oh but you have the now and the future” but they neglect to acknowledge that your now and your future is necessarily shaped by your past. If you regret the past, you’re in some way destined to regret your now and your future.

>>23368041
You fucking moron the generation that got sent to ww1 was called the lost generation. Everyone realized the war was pointless and that the cost of life was a horrific tragedy. It ushered in an age of nihilism.

Boomers love this certain kind of emasculated "humor" where the husband is an obedient servant and the wife is in charge. "Happy wife, happy life." These kinds of phrases are everywhere in boomer culture. This whole mentality of male inferiority is inescapable in the boomer ethos. They might say it in a half-joking way but they also mean it. It's not just liberal feminists. These are "conservative" boomers.
They complain that millennials and Gen Z are spineless feminized pussies (which obviously is true) but where do they think they got it from? It is the natural next step from where boomers are. What did they think the next generation would turn out like when they are raised in an environment of pussy whipped cuck fathers and dominant bitchy women?

why are roses red?
Because they Bled.
why's is that?
Because they are Fat.
oh, ok, dad lmao
Shut up, kid, or you lose your puppy privileges, with a hearty meow.

To the soldier anon who made these posts in the previous thread I have to say that you showed a really interesting perspective. It reminds me a bit of the book Jarhead, where the protagonist spoke of heavy things in the same banal way I would describe how I like my coffee. A specific passage of the book really stood out where the writer was describing how he stuck the barrel of an M16 in his mouth and was about to pull the trigger. It came out of nowhere, with no warning...just another thing somebody does when going about their day. Banal, another day in the office.
With that said, what books or articles can I read to gain more insight into this mindset?

>>23368197
because me and everything else is getting old and dying.

That psyllium husk powder I took in massive excess has passed through. Somehow it made my shit more messy and explosive rather than more solid. I didn't realize it was a laxative.
I'll continue using it in appropriate doses. But it seems like it isn't helping my long term digestive discomfort.

Hello, Old Friend.
I Can See Through Incarnates, so Alex and I were deeply sympathetic to you, rich man, a long time ago.
The Sad Thing is, you were truly good.
On your way to becoming a Silver Sentience, with relative ease.
But... dude.
You fucked it, bad.
I'm sure Rejavik is whispering some insidious things into your blackening, petrified heart.
However, just know, even though everything is getting old, and dying, we are constantly renewed, forever.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with taking the Bible literally. It's not as hard as you might think. It also doesn't
entail being a Young Earth Creationist, because there's more than enough wiggle room about how God perceives the passage
of time for each "day" in Genesis to last billions of years.
But the actual history detailed in the Bible legitimately doesn't bother me. I absolutely believe the Flood happened.
Every single culture of sufficient age has a worldwide flood story, even places that had no contact with the Fertile
Crescent, like Japan and the North American Southwest. If the story crops up everywhere, why can't it be true? Why can't
there have been a global flood?
Also, I completely believe giants were real. There's enough believable accounts of skeletons being found that I'm
convinced. Hell, they might STILL be real. Who knows what lurks in the still-wild places of the world?
Also, demons are completely real. I know this personally, since I think I got bitten by one once.
So the Old Testament is no big deal to me.

Unfortunately, it was your last.
Because, you know, literally, means that it would LITERALLY, happen, in six days, and there would be absolutely no room, for metaphorical/metaphysical interpretation.
Fascinating, right?
It genuinely impressed me, Elohim, for an instant, then I realized, ;ater. that it was dumb, as all shit.

I am always surprised at the transparency of people’s psychological problems. They might as well have them tattooed on their foreheads. And it isn’t a transparency born of any kind of virtue or self-confidence, they are just simple idiots. Dull-eyed morons with myopic self-perception. Easy to manipulate. Lady, you are a sloppy, middle-aged, potbellied, skin-tagged, brittle-haired, drugged, fingerless-glove wearing drone living on welfare. Why do you own such a specimen of a Malinois? I’ve seen those dogs chew Taliban corpses. I’ve seen them attack the fast-rope through muzzles as the handler struggles with the descender. I’ve done subcutaneous injections into their legs after a long movement. Why do you have this dog? This surrogate activity isn’t fooling anybody. You must want power over something smart and lean. Bingo. Fire up the tattoo gun.

The post-war mass media generations have been socially engineered by mass media and pop culture into believing it is their historical mission to right the historical wrongs of mysogyny, racism, and especially anti-semitism. This is the whole teleology that animates them in their lives, along with materialism and a sense of economic superiority obviously.

You need to keep a balance.
You need to be aware of it all, and not live like some kind of NPC.
But you also have to take care of yourself and your family and your personal life and not act like you have a duty to single-handedly save the world.

>>23368041
Nothing matters more than war?
Consider all the thousands of battles that have been fought in the past by empires that no longer even exist.
The only noble war AFAIK is the war for survival.
Everything else is not worth it.

>>23368041
Conservatives get one thing right: human nature.
Women in society are inherently more valuable than man.
Typically when a women leaves her man, the man is the one who ends up mentally destroyed.
Conservatives realize that woman have the upper hand in certain situations. Hence why the split-everything household makes little sense.

Do Jews shop at normal outlets? Where I live we don't have them, but we have Muslims and most Muslims shop at their own outlets. I always assumed that was because of dietary reasons.

>>23368273
4chan is the only English-speaking outlet left where you are (relatively) free to post anything on your mind. There are no forums left. There is only Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, ... and all of those are much more heavily censored.

You are not taking the Bible literally. What you are doing is similiar to how they taught us in Catholic seminary school.
For example the flood story is probably just that: a flood, but a localized flood.

>>23368654
It's pink washing. There is nothing wrong with fighting bigotry and discrimination. But they use it as proof that the West is morally superior than all other countries and cultures.
Then they have an easier time justification their imperialism.

And yes, rescind your insult, but the point still stands, right?
I'm certain that you believe that the length of this post means that this is somehow overcompensating, when your adderall-infused, bullshit brain is actually a hyper-confident, timidly neurotic, pathetic pile of garbage, that will be excavated, by true writers, for ages to come, for fun, and to learn, exactly, how not to be a writer.

That Dune 2 really isn't that innovative or good (tho i liked it) and that it by itself is a regurgitation of bog-standard, beaten-to-death sci-fi ideas

Herbert's true point of dune was to showcase the follies of power and religious zealotry which only really come into effect from Messiah onwards which should be the 3rd movie (idk if that's announced). So there's just like nothing interesting in dune 2 man. Both movies are pure setup for the real payoff in the next film.

I don't think there is a single coherent reason why American foreign policy is what it is.
Of course the overarching reason is imperialism and the need to dominate every other country.

But there are these justifications and policies that change from person to person. For example many have a grudge against Iran, because Iran used to be a really super good ally of America, and then they kicked out the Americans. And some people have still not let go of that.
Then there is oil.
There is Israel.
There is Pakistan (as a leverage against India).
There is China.
There is Russia.
There are the Gulf States.

I think it is the time for Europeans to drop the Arab hate, and by Arab, I mean the Arab-speaking world, not the actual gulf states.

Don't feel sad because you're not getting any ass at the moment, feel glad that there is no woman on Earth whose love is out of your reach if you are rich and famous enough.

Sex and fake affection, maybe.
Love is something else.
No women will ever desire Jeff Bezos in the same carnal way that they would desire a 10/10 Chad.
Yes, they will choose Jeff Bezos because he is a rich billionaire (and probably a nice guy).
But will they ever feel the same kind of animalistic attraction to him? No.

>>23368829
you can't think of a coherent reason for america having a vested interest in china & russia

>>23368945
Does that really matter as long as you get to clap a woman's cheeks? The key idea here is that there is no woman who you can't have as long as you have the status and money. It's a liberating idea that the problem isn't with you as a person, but your temporal inability to throw enough money and status at the problem to make it work.

>>23368960
Huh?
That is simply because China and Russia are not vassal states of the American empire. The rest of the world is (or is too weak to matter either way).

>>23368984
>Does that really matter as long as you get to clap a woman's cheeks?

Yes? The whole of of sex is that you are DESIRED.
If you simply pay, it means nothing.

This is also the reason why sluts are not attractive.
Because their desire is cheap and basically worthless.

Why do you hate yourself?

Last week I was in a friend's wedding. I like catholic weddings because you have the formality and tradition of the service followed by the sheer degeneracy of the reception.
It didn't take long for me to realize that I was the only single person in the wedding party and my larger friend group.
Normally I'm not too concerned with this. I haven't really dated in my life for many reasons. Most of those reasons are complete bullshit, but a few are valid fears that I haven't gotten over. I'm working on it.
I'm fine with this, but when I sat alone as the couples got up to dance I was forced to face it.
I get up and go for a walk around the block.
For the next 30 minutes I can be with my friends. We dance like fools and joke around like we always have. The next slow song starts, and I go to the bar at the back of the venue.
Two men stand near by, chatting with full cups.
I order my drink and watch my friends dance. Many of them are with the partners they met in high school. I think about how much we've changed since, how different are lives are, and how the school where we all met is just down the road.
I stand at the bar until the song ends and I can move on.
Another slow song begins.
I decide to stop watching; I don't wanna be weird. Their dancing sticks with me. How close they are and how much I want that. There's nothing I can do. It's too late to get a date for this wedding.
I start to feel really down at a time and place where I know I shouldn't be.
One of the men standing near leans over, "I get the vibe that you're single too."
The conversation we have isn't life changing, but it's what all three of us needed.
The song ends and group disperses.
For the rest of the night we reconvene whenever the couples start to dance.
One of them leaves starts talking with a woman, one of the groom's friends from college in a different state. I get the urge to be jealous.
The contingent single people support group shrinks by one, and he leaves with her at the end of the night.
I don't mind. For the first time I actually don't.

>>23369042

Next time ask a girl you like whether she'd like to go with you.
Although this can backfire if the girl then hooks up with some other guy she meets there.
But there is risk in everything.

How do I tell my friend to give me some space when we have almost every class together? I'm tired of always teaching him the material we learn in class while he searches up video game facts during class.

If everything was a sort of replica of QR codes, how much time does the average person get to waste?

I want to be a girl, I hate living like this...

My ex broke up with her new boyfriend. We were together for 5 years before she dumped my ass. She met her new boyfriend a month after breaking up with me. I don't know when they started dating but in total they were together for a bit over 2 years before one of them broke up.

Her new ex is putting up a lot of public photos with his new girlfriend on Instagram, it's funny because it's like he's been taunting her. He isn't really, he also put a lot of photos with her when they were together. Now the photos are all gone. I think that's because his brother is a photograph. I'm a bit glad. I shouldn't be, I shouldn't care at all. But I'm glad they broke up, and I'm glad they didn't last more than we did.

I'm the first, I will always be her first. And now that they aren't together anymore, she gets to feel what it feels to see your ex parading around with a new partner. I don't know the story there, but I know he was probably the one to break up or cheat. She knows I would have never done that. That's my little petty win. I know all of this because every 3 or 4 months I go on her ex's instagram and watch his reels. He's a health vlogger. I can move on to new things now.

>>23369110

Is the relatively small number of Japanese immigrants to Western countries proof that Japanese culture is superior to Western culture?

My desire to become a female anime character may indicate a limited understanding of the complexities of the real world compared to the relative simplicity of the animated world. The realization that I've been transported into a world with less depth and nuance would lead to feelings of disillusionment and hopelessness about my new arrangement.

I had to let it explode in my mouth. My kombucha always ends up like this.

Apparently Israel got heavily booed at the Eurovision.
They are comically evil at this point.
Imagine having the gal to go twerk your ass in front of millions of people, while simultaneously murdering tens of thousands of children.

>>23369225
They’re not the same people, retard. Those are just performers and they want to perform.

Japan is a special situation. They are first world, but if they moved from Japan to the US, they would be relegated to the status of "Asian" which is lesser than "White" and therefore inferior.
Why would they ever do that to themselves?
Not to mention most are short tiny people which adds insult to injury.

>>23369242
Most of Israel supports the genocide.
And the rest are at best apathetic.
There are few Israelis that protest and campaign for a lasting peace/solution/unification.

>>23369106
>I want to be a girl
Why?

>>23369268
Mental illness, delusion, and an addiction to sissy porn.

>>23369267
But you’re just assuming the performers are in the majority. This is the same kind of retarded Reddit shit that made people froth at the mouth over Russians after they invaded Ukraine.

>>23369258
I don’t think they’re thinking along those lines lol
I think they’re thinking about culture and opportunities for the most part

>>23369276
That sucks. Shouldn't have watched those hypno videos, then.

Remote work has been so bad for me. I am so stuck in a rut. I’m just living a quasi-NEET life at my parents house. Everyday I wake up, put on sweats and just play video games until late in the day. I can’t go on this way.

>>23369278
That's not the point.
The performers are representing their country.
And why is Israeli in the Eurovision in the first place?
For purely propagandistic reasons.
Because their PR strategy is to try to make themselves look as white/European as possible so that we will empathize more with them than with the Palestinians.

That said, there is also no fucking way that Israel would let a non-ardent Zionist have the stage at such a critical moment. They aren't stupid.

Why would an atheist ever go to war?
Especially a war for profit or material gain rather than a defensive war.

>>23369310
because. it is what it is. everyone dies.

nationalism is inherently evil

Has anyone else just been living with mom and dad since COVID? I went home to save money then but it’s been 4 years and I’m turning 31 next week. I would’ve left last year but I don’t have any reason to leave or anywhere to go.

>>23369344
I would live with them forever if I could.

>>23369344
No I've been living with them since I was a baby.

>>23369344
I would rather be homeless

>>23369344
I am weirdly thankful that my mother is unstable and both loves me and would probably fucking murder me if I lived there for more than five minutes. It prevents me from seeing moving back in with my parents as an option.

>>23369376
Sad.
Just think of all the sleepless nights that your parents had to endure because of you.
How ungrateful.

Where does this Northern Western European trait to hate one's parents come from?
And for the parents to hate their own children?

No other culture on earth exhibits this kind of behaviour.

People who think the only reason people say weird or extreme things on 4chan is because of anonimity should check out some of the weirder Quora threads where people say psychotic things while carefully treading the line of bannable speech all, and all under their full name.

>write what's on your mind
Dating and intimacy and how I imagine they are versus how they probably really are.
Growing up in a weirdly restrictive household in a weirdly restrictive culture where dating before the age of 16 was seen as sinful but never really explicitly said to be.
The fact that of my parents' five children, all of us are single, and none of us have ever dated someone. This includes my older brother (PhD student), me (work at a government agency), my younger sister (psych student), my youngest sister (biology student), and my high school-age brother (discord gamer type).
How easy and simple interacting with other people sometimes appears to be, how nice it seems, how close at hand others are at times, and the possibility that I'm just playing up the difficulties I face in my mind.
How other people seem to be speaking in a hidden language at times, and how there are social cues and signs I can neither perceive nor understand, and how success in making relationships seems to hinge on reading and understanding these signs which I am blind to.
The way interpersonal failure effects all the things I do, not just attempts at dating or meeting girls, and the numerous times friends and peers cut contact with me or slowly stopped talking to me due to my own failures to understand them.
The fact that a shit ton of the women I know are on SSRIs.
Getting older and realizing I'm turning into a weirder, lonelier version of my dad.
My growing desire to own a tidy, cozy house, the subtle but important ways that I've found my own living space affects me, and my fears that I will never be able to afford anything that isn't a shitty studio apartment.
Whether Calvin was really right all along and some people are just born to die and enter Hell, and if I'm one of those people.
The mystery of love.
Food and cooking and how enjoyable making something tasty is.
Death.

Yeah this girl was always begging me to cum inside. No birth control. God damn I came so close, in the moment I really wanted to. Afterwards I'd explain that I didn't want to get her pregnant and she'd just shrug and agree half heartedly. This was coming on 3 years ago now. Sometimes I wish I had got her pregnant. I think she would have kept it.

You don't realize how lucky you are.
You can actually get to marry a virgin, a white virgin at that. That's so rare and valuable.

In an age where pretty much every other demographic on the planet has been ruined by sexual liberalism, you are part of one of the only strongholds left.

If I could marry a Mormon I would. But I don't want to become Mormon myself (am atheist).

>>23369492
>How do I get a Mormon gf?
>But I don't want to become Mormon myself (am atheist).

>>23369502

>>23369511

>>23369492
Anon I wish it was as easy as that. Unfortunately if you're a sperg elsewhere you'll be a sperg in Mormonism. There were some amazingly cute girls at church when I was growing up and I fumbled them all, and the percentage who are still single drops precipitously after you get out of the 18-22 age bracket.
Now that I don't believe in it anymore I can't betray my own values by pretending to believe again, even if it would greatly improve my chances of meeting someone. Like, yeah, if I had never left I'd maybe be married right now, but I just can't bring myself to act like the whole thing is true when it's not.
There's also a lot of weird internal pressures in Mormonism but they don't make a whole lot of sense to outsiders. It's stuff like the way more senior positions at your church are handed out, the social dynamics of returned missionaries who went overseas vs returned missionaries who went stateside, the dynamics between SLC-area Mormons and Rexburg-area Mormons and Arizona Mormons and people from elsewhere who aren't quite lower castes or second class citizens but subtly get treated as such, pressure to have kids early, the weirdly scrupulous approach to sin and guilt in Mormonism that makes people fear for their souls after accidentally consuming something coffee-flavored, a lot more I'm leaving out. It doesn't sound like anything serious but that kind of pressure gets to people after a while, especially if one spouse is a true believer and the other isn't.

>>23369540

I was raised Catholic (not the fake American version, the real deal) and this is basically my situation.

Ordered a bouquet delivery for the 12th. Harder than you’d think to find a florist that delivers to bum-fuck Texas. All the Austin florists string you along until you punch in the zip-code and get a red error message. Considered writing a poem—we don’t have that kind of relationship; it would be strange. Considered writing some prose, but decided: ‘Love – Anon,’ was the best idea. Damn, Freud would fucking freak if he saw my browser history. Something Oedipal stuck down real deep. Not that it’s a unique fetish, clearly. I doubt she would admit it, but we are estranged. Estranged for no reason. Can’t believe how often and freely some people chat with family. I envy orphans. Family is gang-stalking. They’ve been keeping a dossier on me for 30 years! I can’t escape. Now I’ve got a nephew in the pipe growing fingers that will keep the dossier up-to-date after I outlive Them. My phone ain’t shit but an iPanopticon. Every reunion an interrogation. Re-running the days at SERE school on the flight home. Keep the interrogator talking. Stay calm.

>>23369554
Funny you say that. I've been considering becoming Catholic or Orthodox for a few years now. Not so much out of a need for a community, but because they align most closely with what I assess to be the real truth about metaphysics and being (though my views are probably a little unorthodox compared to someone who just goes because their family has always gone or something).
I think either way I'm not going to meet that nice girl I keep fantasizing about, though, unless a literal miracle occurs.

>>23369572

I dropped it only because I lost my faith.
But their moral code and how they arrive to it is very solid.

BTW Joe Biden is closer to Satan than to any real Catholic.

>I think either way I'm not going to meet that nice girl I keep fantasizing about, though, unless a literal miracle occurs.
Good thing Catholics believe in miracles.

>>23369572
>I think either way I'm not going to meet that nice girl I keep fantasizing about, though, unless a literal miracle occurs.

if you do become Catholic, then there are Catholic Youth Bible Studies, retreats, and gatherings where you can potentially meet these girls, as long as the age gap isn't that bad (a lot of women like older men anyways)

Trainability is useful too. When I used to hire at my old job I was pretty happy to hire whoever as long as I got the vibe that they followed orders well. My superiors wanted to perfect candidate right out the gate and rejected everyone they came across. Then they ended up hiring a guy who wasn't particularly good but was just really good at selling himself. They fell for it hook, line and sinker - I could only roll my eyes.

This is funny, but I understand your pain as I had those symptoms for 3 weeks and may gave them still, but not as bad as they used to be.

I live above a dojo. Every day I hear young karateka’s kicks thudding in unison against pads. Chanting: ‘KIAI! KIAI! KIAI! KIAI!’ I sit reading near the open window and nod my head in approval at the tenacity of the child warriors. It’s the same feeling of satisfaction I felt listening to my mastiff drinking from his bowl. Drink up. Grow stronger.
I feel embarrassed when I see the adult karatekas in the parking garage or waiting on the sidewalk for their evening class to begin, standing in flip-flops and gis wrapped with yellow belts. Adult men with pot-bellies and unkempt thinning hair. Unathletic, delusional, probably pedophiles. Do they really want to learn karate after 40 years without throwing a kick? Why? You want to ‘get in shape?’ Go for a run and stop eating. Why are you paying $200 a month to punch air and play dress-up? It’s pathetic. If you want to learn how to fight you'd be in a boxing class or BJJ. Why karate? You are a man with a sensei who needs to schedule a prostate exam. I’ve seen sensei Han’s Porsche in the parking garage. He is working you morons.

Why is that a good thing?

I just got two calls in the span of 10 minutes from my sister's school and now my sister is coming home after just about 3 hours of being at school, she literally does this every single day. At around this exact same time every single day she'll start to complain that she feels sick, is in pain for some bullshit reason or that, and this is the kicker, is just having a bad day, and she'll go to the sick room which will make the school call me and ask me what I want to be done with her to which I will say something along the lines of "send her back to class for an hour and if she comes back then just send her home". When I was just on the phone with them, I said that exact thing, and then 10 minutes later they called back and said that she is refusing to go back to class so they have to send her home, this is insane, they can't even make a student at their school go back to class, a student gets to decide whether they're at school or not, this is fucking insane. And I said to the lady on the phone "I'm not tryna sound rude, this is a genuine question, but can't you guys just send her back to class?" and she in more or less words replied with "We can try but if she refuses then it's out of our hands". Am I insane for thinking that that's ridiculous? The lady on the phone was really nice and she sounded fed up as well, I sympathised with her, I even told her that, but man this is ridiculous. Sorry if this doesn't make any sense, I'm just kinda fired up right now and getting all of this out as quickly as I can.

I don't understand why some people are obsessed with clarifying nietzsche anti-antisemitism, he hated antisemitism because at the time was common especially with Wagner circles, he was more a contrarian (hellenist too) than actual anti-antisemitic, in fact most of his Christian critique can be applied to Judaism as well, he recognized that jews had an enormous will but still poisoned by their Semitic moralism

some guy tried to buy my dinner, but i had to tell him that i was just dropping him off.
i had just helped my grandpa get into and out of the shower and i was covered in sweat from a long day at work and i just wanted to go home.
i can already tell i'm gonna be thinking about this when he's dead.
it was very kind of him and i felt like an asshole for not letting him buy my dinner.

Don't you just hate when you dislike someone but still think they're funny and cool sometimes?

You didn’t catch the feeling of anything. Those thoughts are entirely of your own creation.

i don't think it's one definitive cause. i like to give people the benefit of the doubt and say it may be a hormonal or biological disorder in nature, that is, something outside their control. fine, then they have the obligation to keep it to themselves and keep quiet about it, there is no need to glorify an illness. and then there are those that simply delight in such activities, that fall into lust, which of course, is a moral disorder, even if it had its roots as a natural one. sometimes they go out of their way and say it is fine, even though they know it bears no fruit of children (and don't give me the adoption argument, because that still wouldn't excuse the need to conduct the activity)

i do not know if this makes sense but nonetheless, the people themselves are fine, there are to be treated with sensitivity, kindness, and respect, for who knows what they have gone through in life. the act itself however, remains inappropriate and that is important to keep in mind

Sadly, /pol/ doesn't know how to keep within its' board. It's a scourge on /x/ as well as /g/. Off topic comments and trolling attempts (oftentimes race bating is a troll attempt) can be reported by clicking the triangle next to a post button. That said, thank god for various random old forums and even conventions. I went to a literature convention this year. There were panels on the Oxford coma and choosing an editor. It was amazing.

We created God, not the other way around. And we will recreate Him in our image.

I'm schizophrenic and I've been getting angrier and angrier with my life and the way people treat me, the way the world sees me. I am a peaceful person but am honestly afraid of where I will end up in the next 10 years. I'm not sure of what to do but my friend recommended asceticism. I do believe I am headed for a dark path if I cannot conquer my vices now.

>>23370447
Ok.
I prefer older PHP based forums where people have an avatar, signature, and so on. There would also be blocking functionality.
I am trying to find one for birding or some other nature related activity, maybe scuba diving, where there is also a discussion forum where people talk casually about their daily lives. This can also allow you naturally flowing rhizomes to be created (e.g., birders talking watching films like Kes or getting into Wingspan or other ttgs). This way I might be able to make a friend.
However, I worry that my views might be considered "extreme" since I do read and agree with anti-modernists like Pentti Linkola, Spengler, Klages, Kaczynski, Skrbina, etc.
I despise both Reddit and this shithole. I don't even know why I post here. Maybe it's because I am less censored here.
I've been on this shithole long enough that I genuinely assume the worst of you people, and idgaf about you.

Some general tips:
> Most people can't know you and won't get to know you. If they hate you at all, they hate the surface level at best. Ignore them.
> Humans are generally assholes to each other because people were assholes to them. Don't be an asshole and the assholery will slowly reduce over time.
> You are the one who decides your own outlook. You can focus on the good in your day or the bad. Try to focus on the good more than the bad, even if the good seems small. It makes the bad more bearable.
> Finding a psychologist is like dating. It can take a few tries to find someone decent. So if your first psychologist doesn't understand you or you don't feel heard, try a different one.

Personally I found Asceticism works best when within a framework. Find a belief set you are OK with and use it. It's OK if it's your own beliefs or a patchwork from several sources. If going with Eastern style, start with Tao Te Ching and move from there as most other works are based on it to some degree.

Hang in there.

It's no just 4chan.
There is a concerted effort in western media trying to push the view that traditionalism/conservatism is essentially just being a racist bigoted insular NPC retard.
And it's a both sides kinda affair.

This whole alt-right nonsense took the latent bigotry present on the right side of the political spectrum and made it the entire identity of the party.

I know the complexity of the situation, but I am tired of endlessly fixating on it. Spengler predicted much of this. Modernity itself was a failure, yes.

Regardless, here's a warning for you: going around and bashing random minorities and either we wuzzing or insulting entire cultural legacies is not the way to win friends. It ceases to be a matter of "bantz" at that point. Turning everything into a clash civilizations or races is not in your ultimate ethnic interests.

Moreover, I am sick and tired of how you reduce everything to humanity. There is more to life than just endlessly obsessing about idpol or tribal identification. I want to find a PhP forum to talk about birds or scuba diving or some other nature related activity (and controversial deep ecology is not banned) where discussions about one's personal activities are occasionally encouraged in their respective sections.

>>23370460
I know a guy who has taken care of his schizo younger brothers for almost 40 years and never once gotten angry at them even though I know deep down he is screaming in pain, because he knows it's not their fault. Every time I get mad at my own mentally ill relative I think of him and how he has never asked for a moment of recognition or praise for being so good. He just did it because it was right, including for decade after decade where nobody even knew he was doing it.

There are good people in this world. Most people are not doing well, most people are confused and battered, bent into ugly shapes, but that's all evil really is: confusion.

Sometimes it helps me to remember this. The people you think are the perpetrators and allies of the world's evil are themselves victims of it. They are your fellow sufferers. Obviously, you have to protect yourself from them - no one is saying put yourself in harm's way or turn the other cheek to an absurd degree. But it makes it seem less like "you vs. the world" when you realize we're all coping with evil in our own ways. And it helps me to understand that conquering vices, staying strong, doing what's good because it's good and not because I want credit for it, doing it even when I get the opposite of credit for it every time, is its own reward and doesn't need any external reward.

To me, joy and kindness are always stronger than cynicism and bitterness. Truly joyful and kind people can withstand any ugliness, because they are "bigger" than the ugliness and see it from a higher vantage, seeing it for what it is: pitiable.

It's a thing of the past. Fuck 4chan, Fb, Discord, and reddit all. Literally ruined one of the few interesting things of the past Internet.

Most literary cons don't advertise as such. Usually this is because they started as a different kind of con then slowly shifted. The one I went to was in Virginia: Ravencon. Wikipedia says it's a scifi con, but the giveaways that it's really a literature convention are the book readings, book launches and panels/tracks by authors. It's at around 70% /lit/ stuff with 20% horror and 10% /TG/. Reading a con schedule will usually give you a good idea of what kind of con it really is.

TL;DR: Get into the con scene out there, even if tiny. You never know what you'll find.

Do a search anywhere but google (search bubbles suck) and make sure you use anti-terms bu putting a - in front of a word like "-Reddit". Anti-terms help remove repeated website listings by removing terms or even entire sites. Talk in the off-topic sections and eventually you can get to know people if you are a regular.

Anyway, a few things a quick search brought up:

You sound jaded by the jerks. Many of them are loud samefags so there's less around than you would think. that said, I can understand where you are coming from.

Currently bedridden with a bad tummy while on vacation in a new city. Horrible experience

I finally figured out what subject I'm interested in.

>>23370477
What?
Hick isn't a south specific term. I just live in fucking nowheresville, the third world.
>>23370505
4chan actually had its place on the old internet.
Completely anonymous. Now, Twitter, that's real cancer. Turns you actually retarded at a faster rate than 4chan.

>>23370516
I'll pray for you.

>>23370518
Must be nice.

>>23370518
Which one?

>>23370522
It was only 10 years too late.

>>23370525
Medieval history. I know because even the books that have reviews calling them boring were interesting to me.

Whenever I meet a new girl I say our names together in my head, and it's surprising predictive of our future.
It's because I have a very traditional name and I also happen to have traditional (I don't mean bigotted) values.
If she has one of these newagey names I know instantly that she grew up in a household that is alien to my values.

>>23370534
Huh. Good for you anon. Any subtopic that interests you or just in general?
>>23370535
How traditional are we talking?

>>23370509
The first one seems all right, but it doesn't have a personal discussion section.
Humorously enough, TheApricity is *stylized* in a manner I like, but I want the forum to be devoted to a subject matter I enjoy like deep ecology, birding, scuba diving, or something like that. I am tired of idpol, but I am merely referring the design of the PHP forum, TheApricity (note, The Lounge). Funny how the only forum with a vague sense of community I can find is like 4chan edgy bs.
>>23370519
I don't even have a Twitter, and I agree it's bad too.
It's hard to say which worse: 4chan, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, etc. I absolutely hate all of them.

>>23370536
I like learning about the different daily lives, like merchants, cooks, prostitutes, young women, diplomats, etc. and all the little details down to the specific numbers of things like what exactly they're trading. It's comfy to me.

I can confidently say that I've never laughed at Jimmy Carr, like, there are comedians who I don't like who have made me laugh once or twice but I've never even chuckled at the guy. And don't get me twisted, I've got nothing against Jimmy Carr, I'm listening to a podcast right now where he's the guest and I'm enjoying it, he's an interesting guy, but man is he oil and I'm water.

>>23367862
After a certain point of broken english, discourse becomes impossible.
This shit feels like talking to an alien.

This might sound crazy to some but I really appreciate this website and the people on it, especially /wwoym/, I can vent here and you guys will keep me honest and be honest with me, I also don't feel any cringe when doing it because it's completely anonymous. Thanks.

>>23370579
Thank you. It's all in a day's work. I've been grinding 4chan at least a few hours per day.

>>23370579
this makes me sick to my stomach

>>23370579
I don't like it at all.

I squeezed my stomach to make it stop hurting, but I squeezed my internal organs too hard.

>>23370540
I mostly stay in 4Chan for the community, too. The ones who aren't trolls are always dead honest. You learn a lot here.

>>23370612
I hate 4chan and most people here. I don't know why I post here.
I am still trying to find an active PhPbb forum that interests me. I remember there used to be more variety of themes with them.

The story of Gemistos Plethon makes me wonder whether neopaganism is a sure sign of civilizational decline. Not in a "why didn't they just stay christian" kind of way but in the sense of "people don't tend to see sense in this sort of thing unless the main narrative of their civilization is completely discredited and proves itself to be completely inadequate for their cultural needs".

My roommate is one of those guys that thinks any film in a foreign language is immediately pretentious. I'm not the kind of guy to try and convince others to share my tastes because ultimately I don't care, so it's not like I even like I try to win him over or anything like that. It only came up this time because he asked me what movie I was seeing tonight, and it happened to be a French film. Immediately makes a snide comment. Was I meant to lie? Am I pretentious for simply existing?

>>23370579
It's good to post in a place where you know at least a couple of real people are going to read it. Unlike posting into the void on twitter or wherever.

>>23370712
4chantards are not that different from Twitterfags, really.

>>23370715
Sure, that wasn't my point. I don't have any followers on twitter though so no one sees my posts.

There’s this really handsome online guy who doesn’t know I exist, but I want to marry him and have his children. If I constantly think about him, will that manifest some sort of transcendental spiritual attraction? Has anyone ever communicated to someone via mindwaves?

>>23370715
Twitter is much more insufferable, Elon really killed that website, I honestly don't know how he has dickriders.

>>23370716
>>23370720
Both 4chan and Twitter make me bloodthirsty.

>>23370719
I don't know if I'm that handsome really, but if you think so...

So many things that are hot about women are recursively fractally potentially infinitely meta-hot the more you think about them. That's too much power, there should be a cap.

i feel like that's rape culture

I have some friends who are pretty normal people, I wanna do psychedelics with them, I wanna see my friend from Hong Kong who's never been anything but a normal guy sit there and trip balls. I wonder how I can get a hold of some.

I hate all of you Zoomers. ADHD demon spawn. Say cruel things in other shit threads and then come here and spout the most banal lifeless uninspired shit with your mundane obsessions with fucking, doing drugs, and living a meaningless shallow existence. Like a puppet show hosted by Marquis de Sade.
I feel consumed by hatred. You people disgust me. You are even more soulless and mechanized than bots. You "people" are asleep.

Oh sweet summer child, you're just not self aware enough.

If you got to choose how the afterlife worked, how would it go?
I would just have it so good people are rewarded, and bad people need to be firmly corrected and shown their error, in respect to the degree of their evil, then they get a second chance.
I wouldn't bother with needing people to eat a transubstantiated cracker or belong to a specific creed.

>>23370768
Unfortunately for you, good and bad are subjective when it comes to what you're talking about unless of course you were the one standing at the "pearly gates" who got to decide if what they did was good or bad.

>>23370766
No, I've just figured out what's happening.
YOU are all puppets with the illusion of consciousness.
4chan is no different than the rest of the shitty social media. Older PhPbb niche forums were better, having more depth and sincerity to them than you ironic soulless airheaded scum who are better off dead.
As social media platforms like Facebook, Reddit, 4chan, and Twitter grew, they brought with them a shift towards more immediate, broader, and more superficial interactions. These platforms prioritize new and trending content, which can overshadow the type of in-depth discussions that were more common on classic forums. The rapid-fire nature of social media communication also discourages the slow, nuanced, meticulous, detailed discourse that older forums excelled at in the past.
Things just get worse, and you dysgenic cretins are the outcome of that. No compassion should be shown to any of you ingrates. You're all insincere losers and would be afraid of getting involved in sophisticated older forums with nice signatures linking to GoodReads and other lists, a nice avatar, etc.
You're afraid of conveying personas because you are more shallow and vain than even Patrick Bateman as his mask peeled off. You, in essence, have no qualia is what I am getting at. Zoomers have no qualia. Behind your masks there is amorphous chaos, and to purge you from existence is an act of purification. You are blind automatons reacting to the most surface level of impulses.

>>23370785
>No, I've just figured out what's happening.
Sure you have, bud, just like all the rednecks in Arkansas who don't even have a high school level education happened to be the ones who figured out the deep dark secrets of the most secret and secure organizations on the planet, the ones who have infinite resources to hide their shit.

I met my gf recently at a farmer's market. Anything is possible.

>>23370520
Thank you anon
I'm here alone nursing myself
Even my own father showed no interest in staying back to help me. In fact, he was angry and dismissive when I told him I'm feeling ill. My sickness was an inconvenience to him. Clearly the trip matters more to him.

>>23370788
You sound like a bot based on Deep Learning algorithms. I wouldn't be surprised if you were. I've come across several today that were posting the exact same responses across boards.

4chan is some kind of data mining hub for FEDs. 4chan is a symptom of cultural decline.

I am not saying the Internet was good on the past, but everything is just declining even more.

Spengler seemed right in many of his predictions or general framework of decline.

>>23370791
Hope you guys are happy.

>>23370794
You really couldn't be more boring if you tried.

Just woke up from a nightmare where i imagined my ex started posting OF content on the porn subreddits i follow

Better to be boring than an shallow insincere Zoomer shithead worshiper of chaos like you.

>>23370802
You're so enlightened, I only just realised it, please forgive me for my past transgressions, you're the only one who knows the truth.

>>23370804
No one can respond this fast, even if it is a vapid remark. This must be a bot.

Why are FEDs utilizing bots on 4chan? What kind of social engineering is this? I did come across a few bots recently too.

4chan is mainstream, even if many people say transgressive things, so there must be some greater purpose to keeping it up.

>>23370805
Fast you say?

Beep boop beep boop, I'm a robot and I've been discovered, help, help.

I don't laugh at most standup comedy I listen too.
It's just sort of pleasant to follow along the act, but I very rarely find anything genuinely funny to the point that it elicits a lol.

>>23370811
I think standup comedians are a lot funnier on podcasts than they are when they do actual standup. I've only ever properly laughed at like one standup show.

Capitalism has a few good ideas, but we are overdue for a paradigm shift. Unfortunately, I fear we are just at the beginning of the downfall of the current paradigm and it might take my whole lifetime before we see something new emerge.

Need to return to Germany in a week. NOT looking forward to it.
I'm just so jaded after my last stay there.
I don't get along with people, but Germans are something special.
And I don't know how I am going to survive.

What's even funnier is that I am supposed to be doing some social exposure therapy.
But man, do I really hate the idea of having to do that in Germany.

The whole situation is like when you break up with your gf, but you still have to share a house, and now you can barely tolerate their presence.

You know how people go live in foreign countries and come back saying how they totally loved the culture there?
For me it's the opposite: I find everything about German culture to be wrong and outdated and the whole country is going to shit so that only reinforces my views.

I really wanted to go to the US instead.

I have been reading Reverend Insanity and find the main character's unwavering commitment to both self-reliance and the pursuit of his own interests admirable. I would very much like to alter my own mindset to become more inline with this.

>>23370893

>>23370929
Meme science career that I pigeonholed myself in.
Europe is in such a shit place right now, that Germany is still the best option.

I don't have many options other than that. I grew up in a very rural part of the continent.
My dad thought that was a genius idea, to settle back here, even though he had been abroad in many countries.
Now he's sad that I don't want to spend my life here, but what am I supposed to do?
There's no nothing here. It's a miracle that we have an economy at all.

But I don't see myself building a life in Germany either. I think that is what makes me hate it.
Cause I know I am basically wasting 5 good years of my young adult life in a place I want to move away from.

>>23370956
Hey, if it makes you feel any better, I'm gonna be spending my entire life in a place I want to move away from.

>>23370904
Meh, he's not Bill Burr's level of funny.

If your idea of funny is an old guy yelling at clouds then yeah, I guess he's funny.

>>23370964
Because I'm a retard who couldn't even finish high school, lol, I want to move out of my country but unless I get married and get a green card somewhere else, that'll never happen.

>>23370965
I don't need sophisticated comedy. I tried to watch that British guy who pretends he's the most sophisticated comic on earth and I found him insufferable.

I like how Bill Burr can manage to say every non-PC thing without being a bigot about it.

>>23370966
Become a sailor.

>>23370978
>I don't need sophisticated comedy.
I don't need it either, but I do want a little bit of variety in my stuff and Bill Burr just doesn't do variety, at least from what I've seen, I could be wrong.
>I like how Bill Burr can manage to say every non-PC thing without being a bigot about it.
I will agree with you there, he is very good at that.
>Become a sailor.
Fuck that, the ocean terrifies me.

>>23370984
When Bill Burr was new I thought he was hilarious, but it wore out pretty quickly. He's a one trick pony

>>23370984
>Fuck that, the ocean terrifies me.
Become a flight attendant, then.

Real talk?
Comedy is 90% stuff that doesn't make the audience piss off, 9% stuff that does, and 1% gold.
It's just like writing, for real, for real, as the young'uns might say (if they actually wrote anything of substance).

>>23369276
You don't want to be a "girl", then. You want to be weak and have someone who's stronger than you dominate you. Have you tried femdom?

Instead of giving the take-home final as a set of prompts you can complete at your leisure, that also needs to be heavily cited,
I am going to stick all those questions into a web portal,

>>23370991
>Become a flight attendant, then.
How would that help me move to a different country?

>>23371003
You would spend 1/2 of your time in another country.

>>23371006
Not really, I'd be flying all over the world and spending a day or two in each country.

>>23371016
Typically you have set routes, so you could totally be living in a second country, almost.

>>23371016
You'd be making money to slap drunk passengers and basically not work.

I hate this new brand of alt-right "conservationism" that is basically entirely about being a bigot and nothing else.
They literally have no other values or moral (good or bad) at all.
And they are all sluts and man whores so all their talk about family values is all hypocrisy.

At least the old-fashioned conservatives had some kind of moral code. They might have been bigots, but they were at least good family men and women. Good fathers and mothers.

These new generation are all trashy grifters.

>>23371141
I'm just surprised anyone can listen to those vapid bitches.
Imagine tuning in to Megyn Kelly, Tim Pool, Lauren Southern or any of these people.

Why aren't they making an appearance?

Y'know what? I'm fine with the amount of Chinese immigrants in my country, their country is a shithole and none of them come here just to sit around, collecting the dole and making the country worse, they all work and contribute. Plus, I think Asian guys are the ultimate bros anyway, so this is a bonus for me too.

>>23371218
I like Chinese people too anon. You should visit sometime if you haven't, it's not as much of a shit hole as you might think. Especially the cities. I'd rather live in Kunming or Chongqing than a lot of places in the west. Any day of the week.

>>23371234
I know that China has a lot of stunning places, oh my god are there a lot of places in China that I would love to visit, it's just their government, the CCP is gross.

I was really into the online orthodox sphere not that long ago but now I find it really annoying. It’s turned into nothing but West bashing. “The West is satanic. The whole history is bad.” There’s something repulsive about it and it’s turning me away from orthodoxy.

One of those days where I avoid looking at myself in the mirror. I suck. I was feeling so confident and ready to embrace and conquer whatever I came across in life just a day or two ago. Now no one loves me and no one will ever love me.

there seems to be some misinterpretation on what internal monologue implies. it's not about whether or not you hear something vs. nothing (that is something else entirely). it's whether or not you literally monologue at all times.
apparently it's common, one way or the other.
do (you) do this anon?

Ahhhhhh ahhhhhhh the sun is trying to irradiate me

You will find little to no anons who think positively of therapy.

>>23371382
it's not commonly misinterpreted; it's not even a common discussion; it's just something everyone takes for granted (in either case).
DO YOU, OR DO YOU NOT MONOLOGUE?

>>23371370
No one monologues at all times.

>>23371370
My internal monologue was much more constant up until the age of 25. Since then, I have mellowed out, ruminate far less, and my internal monologue, while very much still there, is nowhere near as constant. I have long stretches of 'quiet' now, whereas that would have been unthinkable before. I'm also the happiest, calmest, and most confident I've been in my life so far and I believe the two things are correlated.

>>23371394
no, they fucking do. literal shounen protagonists. i have one friend of the bunch who does this.

>>23371392
Don't yell at me

>>23371399
I don't think that's real.
You'd be so scatterbrained. Can't follow conversations or a tv show or whatever.

>>23371396
i've also heard many who do this beat themselves up constantly. so that definitely aligns.
i also feel like the layer of constant subconscious translation would give you a certain literal clarity though?

>>23371405
right, i think it's more about how they're interpreting their subconscious. but it does sound like it'd be more 'tunnelvision' or something. it might also be the differences between each (whether you do or dont) is not that different.

>>23370487
Life without struggle becomes dull and you end up feeling nothing no matter how exclusive the experience. Why do you want to be filthy rich? Only reason ich an think of is to have a chance at finding a woman

Now that is some limited thinking.
My God, only think you can think of is finding a woman?
These threads are filled with simps who would cum if a woman brushed against them

I hate how every book about how to get girls focuses on sex.
They talk about sex as if it was this meaningless thing you do for fun, and sleeping with girls is a game that you play where you almost have to game the girls into sleeping with you.
It's so utterly disgusting to me.

This is not me; not the world I grew up in.

Internal monologue is useful for me when solving conceptual problems because it is almost like having a debating partner. It's not that I can't do this without the monologue, but having that 'second' voice allows me to go deeper into problems than otherwise. I have a good friend who claims to never use internal monologue (which I don't quite believe, but I believe he uses it far less than I do). I love the guy but he is quite tactless and poor at reading social situations. He's always getting into arguments and pissing people off and not realising why. Sometimes I wonder if its because he literally doesnt 'think before he speaks' like the rest of my friends do.

>>23371426
isn't there something weird about reading a book on getting women to begin with? they're literally just other people. it's like people forget that sometimes. not that the information isn't sound; but, it's like an unhealthy reframing of things.

Yes, but my situation is not typical.
I was wrongly socialized as a teenager: spent ages 12 to 18 without ever talking to a girl because I went to a private all boys school and I was the only one without non-nerdy friends.
And then I also moved countries as well which further compounded my problems.
And then I spend my 20s in STEM universities that are 85% male which meant I rarely interacted with girls there as well.

>>23371440
just to stress the distinction. internal monologue means one is literally monologuing. as someone who doesn't do this, i am constantly working out conversations, debates, what i might say. playing it all out in my head. but i won't overtly tell myself THAT CAT IS CUTE, when i see a cute cat. it is filed away as such immediately-- but, if you then asked me what i thought about the cat, it might take me a split second longer to think about it and give that opinion. maybe.

most of my friend group doesnt monologue but are very considerate, conscientious??, whatever.

>>23371416
>Why do you want to be filthy rich?
Because not struggling is awesome, I've been struggling since I was a kid, my entire life has been struggling, I'm sick of it, I've paid my dues. Someone who says you need to struggle in life has clearly never struggled.

The concept of desire has me fucked up. Anyone who wants me I have zero interest but the one I want is the same with me. I won't settle for less

Therapy rarely helps men. We are warriors and there is nothing worth dying for, which means ther is nothing worth living for. The world is over.

>>23371447
It's a lot, I think a large portion of it is anons who heard stories from other anons who went to therapy and purposely made it difficult and didn't work with the therapist and then came out saying that it's shit and that therapy doesn't work and that it's all a scam yadda yadda yadda. A lot of anons could benefit immensely from therapy but won't go because they refuse to change their minds that they only made up because they heard stories from other anons who purposely didn't try.

I am saying that one of the only pros of being rich is that it makes it easier to find a woman. You are a projecting low iq retard, probably brown too. Yikes

>>23371487

You going to being able to find women shows you're some manlet stinky indian incel.

I have struggled. I am struggling now but i also know that money only solves like 10-15% of lifes problems. And too much money brings a ton of new problems with it that you cant even think of. There is no pleasurw without pain and if there was only pleasure it would seize to be pleasurable. Watch the latest AoI vid.

Only a currycel needs money to attract a woman

I'll trust your dubs and give it a try, thanks. Also, how am I supposed to help help the therapist? I have no idea how the dynamics work

Daily reminder:
Some guy living in a trailer fucking a wife who he met at church or even just in high school is happier than 90% of us.
Don't overthink things. Meeting people in your local community, usually through religion, is the best way to find a wife or husband.

I just realized ive never truly lived.
Ive never gone to the bar late at night, met a girl, and hit it off instantly. Ive never flirted with that girl who I just met in that dark seedy bar, laughing over our drinks and watching that light glisten and twinkle in her eye when she just her jaws exposes her pearly teeth and laughs maniacally at some quip I made about a funny looking stranger across the room. We never walked out together into the warm July midnight of the city street while multicolored patterns of light were fixed or variating on numerous fixtures, boards, poles and signs. I never got to hold her hand and walk along the sidewalk as she held onto my arm and pressed the side of her body into mine. I never grabbed her lower jaw, pulling her face towards mine, and kissing her passionately. We never headed back to her apartment. She never looked down during the small silence before the decision to make our goodbyes or not, but then would look up at me and ask if I wanted to come inside. We never laughed and made small jokes heading up the stairs. Her round and tight ass tempting me as we approached the height of the stairs. She never drunkenly held my face and kissed me before turning around to unlock her door and open it. She never went in and pulled me by the hand into her apartment with her. Ive never went inside.

Ive never went inside

But should happiness be even a goal in life?
Happiness is a good thing, but why should it be the goal?
If I wanted to be happy I'd just overdose on heroin.

>how am I supposed to help help the therapist?
Answer their questions honestly, don't try to think ahead of the therapist (for example, don't think "Oh, they're asking me this question so that I'll give this answer so that they can ask me this question") Don't do that, it helps nobody. The most important part is just being honest. Also, if you feel like you and your therapist don't really mesh, that's fine, ask to be changed to a different one, having a therapist that you mesh with and are on the same wavelength with is huge. And don't expect it to be a quick thing, good therapy can take a while. Best of luck to you, anon.

That's up to you to find out, the answer is different for everyone.

>usually through religion
Gross, no thanks.

I'm buckbroken by everything surrounding Pascal's wager. I just can't come to terms with he fact that I never will have knowledge of God and there will always be a possibility of eternal torture. Even if I became a Christian, my salvation wouldn't be guaranteed. This is not some abstract philosophical question for me, it really keeps me up at night. Sometimes I wonder why people aren't constantly screaming and crying when faced with the possibility of such a horrible fate.

>>23371647
nigga i hate to break this to you, but this is the exact reason I dim my mind with weed and have made my only goal in life to fuck as much zoomer pussy as possible. Literally theres no telling what horrors, dreams, or pure absence awaits us beyond the gates that demands back your mortal coil preceding thy entrance.

There's no absence of your existence. That would be much more preferable than what denying Christ means; eternal punishment, neverending horrifying pain, forever and ever.

>>23371647
I honestly can’t see why everybody who isn’t a child, everybody who’s theoretically old enough to have understood what death means, doesn’t spend all his time thinking about it. Simply having everything stopping for ever, not just for millions of years. And getting to the point where that’s all there is in front of you.

>>23371684
Think of self-immolation, but your nerves never burn away, so it's always max pain, you never adapt to the pain, you can't do anything but burn, and you can't even pray to God to forgive you because it's too late.

How old are you?

Are you some kind of boomer or why are you so out of touch with the way things are. Also no amount of money will make a pajeet desirable
