No, i read for enjoyment. I smoke crack to escape reality.

Perhaps your efforts would be better spent trying to improve your life, just a thought. You seem rather upset with your current life.

Anon,

I am just so fucking fed up with the status quo. I want to leave. I hate having to go to college and force myself through this bullshit. It just makes me depressed.

I want to move to some obscure city, open up a hostel, and just read and write,

I know you don't care, but thanks for noticing?

I come to 4chin to vent, and I read to escape.

Wish you the best.

Finish college, get job, write as second job or hobby. Nigga's gotta work. don't escape, live in the now, have goals, plan for the future.

You're using reading like a drug. Like a pot head or vidya addict.

I binge read on the weekends for hours on end. I'll read an entire book in two days and never leave my room.

What's wrong with me? Why am I doing this to myself?

>>5416380
Because I don't want to be a NEET. I have ambitions of sustaining myself and a family, and I would like to start by opening a hostel. I think that it could be quite lucrative. And, besides, it would be so cool! You'd get to meet people from all over the world! I'm thinking about opening one up in San Sebastian, Spain.

This is your 6th thread today. You've been flooding /lit/ with threads every day for weeks now. Do you really think we will respect you? You're not gonna make any friends here. Get the fuck out and get a life. One day after you left nobody will remember your retarded name anymore.

You seem too much like a normalfag for someone who is fed up with the status quo to the point of depression. You are the status quo.

It's been too ingrained into my mind since my years as a child. It's just how the system is-- you can't beat it. But I am cognizant enough to not want to work the 9-to-5 job and move somewhere that's not in fucking America.

Besides, what else would I do with my life?

When he requested a permaban, I told him he would come back. And it turned out I was right. He's the kind of person who will be on 4chan forever. When everyone else grew out of 4chan, he will still be here. His 40th birthday he will celebrate with 4chan, the only "friends" he ever had. He actually believes we are his friends. He actually believes he can get our approval by flooding the board with retarded threads while using a retarded name.

Yeah, you're absolutely right, though.

I came back because I can be the real me on here. I know it sounds lame, but it's the sad truth.

What is it called when you deliberately seek out and take pleasure in reading books that do the opposite of escapism?

Like the anti-escapism of gestalt therapy and how Fritz Perls would blatantly try to expose all of his patients flaws and problems, rather than indulging them in anything. I find that enjoyable.
