I accidentally wrote '25' instead of my age and I don't know what that says about me; maybe it's some shitty premonition about when I'll die but I really doubt it. I want to live longer than 27, at least. Suicide definitely seems likely though. I am PTSD-core and depressed, and like, weird in a way that doesn't fall under the autism spectrum, but presents with similar symptoms. Basically was heavily traumatized as a child and then spent my adolescence in near-isolation. Coming out of it now and I'm really deeply afraid of everyone else, but I think that I try to mask that with an impotent sort of anger. I think that all of those things make me a 'typical 4channer', which probably doesn't bode well for my lifespan. Writing more seems pointless

I don't know if I have a favorite book that you all wouldn't shit on immediately (examples of shat-on books that I liked: Siddhartha, Infinite Jest, Notes from the Underground. Seems like you all behave in an either pseudo-intellectual or 'hipsterish' way, wherein you say that someone's taste is shit because it falls into 'stereotypical' categories, eg 'white upper-middle class dude with passive interest in buddhism who thinks he's smarter than people even though he's not actually', which definitely seems to fit my taste. Maybe I'm projecting)

No one fucking cares you goddamn cunt. No one. And no one is impressed by you being sarcastic twat and acting haughty and mysterious.

Every time you post is an absolutely -stunning- example of why men think women are stupid. Even as a "learned" woman who spends all of her time (well, the time you don't spend shitposting all day) reading non-fiction, you're a retarded attentionwhore who can't help but act like a sarcastic idiot and scream for attention. Well here it is.

You're a moron, and an example of failure for women everywhere. You will die alone, a failed being, contributing nothing to the world but your own self-pitty and some posts and archive servers. No one, not even strangers you speak with every day, will ever respect you. Your knowledge will never benefit you, nor another living person.

You're going worry yourself to what would be an early grave, always wondering when you'll kill yourself, and then get hit by a car crossing the street when you're 33. By then you'd have made a few more friends who will come by the funeral and say things like, "great guy with good intentions. Over thought things though"

An Anthropomorphic fruit, you only last a few more years before the weight of knowing you'll never meet another sentient strawberry drives you to throw yourself into an industrial sized juicer. Not before killing your father for giving you your cursed life however.

Unable to read well, the world is full of constant fascination and joy. Unfortunately, one day you stumble upon "Hop on Pop" and try to reenact the book. You are trampled to death by school children at a playground at the age of 24.

>>4919576
You are the creative nothing. You will the world to enshroud itself in darkness by way of jumping off the bridge by 20.

>>4919625
Your insatiable desire to claim your just deserts ends up leaving you friendless and on the streets. You do heroin by age of 30. One day an uncle finds you as your about to die of an overdose. You make a full recovery. The near death experience causes you to find God. You find heretical manuscripts detailing Jesus' fornication with Mary Magdalene one day at 55. In your zest for Jesus and the Church you attempt to burn the book. You end up burning the manuscript and perishing in the fire. His will be done.

At the age of 22 you meet a sweet girl with thick framed glasses. While on a late night coffee date with her you choke on a piece of croissant because of a funny story she told you. You die receiving mouth to mouth from her even though what you needed was the Heimlich maneuver.

>>4919663
The obscurity of your favorite works drags you into madness. No one is able to comprehend your unique tastes. You decide to kill yourself at 24 by toppling a bookshelf on top of yourself. It doesn't kill you right away, but you slowly decompose and ruin the rare library you've built up.

>>4919684
At the age of 37 you realize you've wasted your life reading children's books and decide to try the bar scene. After the first night you realize it'll never work. Drunk and alone you throw yourself in front of a moving train. Pigs oink at you from the nearby farm.

>>4919707
After being diagnosed with depression from losing in a checkers tournament at 25 you slowly wither away in the dark of your room. You survive until 27 when you decide to take up the game once more and try to make a comeback. It goes horribly wrong and you kill yourself the next day by melting down plastic game pieces and burning yourself. It doesn't quite work so you just shoot yourself instead.

>>4919718
At the age of 24 your life becomes a soap opera full of unnecessary drama. You turn to the warm embrace of vodka. One night however you drink too much and get alcohol poisoning. Your friends are too busy arguing to notice.

Notes From Underground

I won't kill myself.

I moved past that at 14. The lingering effects of depression are still visible, the apathy and inability to form meaningful bonds with others, but I have no compulsion to end myself. Rather, I have to so I enjoy the frantic moments of frustration I suffer from time to time. That unshakable horror I experience when I imagine the words "this is forever" is interesting and I honestly can't say I would wish for anything else. Life just tickles me to death.

>>4920049
Words cannot describe just how much of a faggot you truly are. Do you still jizz yourself when your teachers say how "creative" you are? They just wish you would stop being a jackass in class.

>>4919765
Your levels of intellect become too much for you to socialize competently at the age of 32. The decline in quality literature has continued to decline so much so that at that time there is nothing but fanfiction of hunger games fanfiction left on the market. You kill yourself by hanging at that time.

>>4919781
You make it to 44. It's been a rough road, and your alcoholic husband hasn't made things any easier. While he's in a drunken stuper you kill yourself by overdosing on a combination of painkillers, alcohol, and prescription strength allergy medication.

>>4919784
The poverty of central America is nothing to you. You survive and even thrive till the age of 34. However, at that time you realize you never loved your wife and so go and attain a mistress. After 6 months your wife finds out and it tears apart your family. The guilt eats away at you and you kill yourself by shooting yourself.

>>4919785
You cause you hair to go grey early by the age of 35 because of the stupidity of everything around you. You try to laugh it off and make fun of everyone, but the surrounding environment is too much. You slowly drift off by breathing only helium at the age of 38.

>>4920036
Life is too beautiful for you. Cancer is always beatable, and there's always going to be a quirky, shy guy around the corner. You never kill yourself and live such a happy life you make others so filled with envy they kill themselves.

>>4920041
The monotony of life isn't enough for you. At the age of 26 you seek the forests of the Congo to fight as a revolutionary. You're a promising warrior, but soon die of a rare strain of Malaria. The rest of the soldiers are sad to see you go.
