Did you ever have a series of turbulent love affairs? How did it effect your being and productivity?

No, but I have turbulent crushes.

For a time, very very good. Pain stirs poetry.

But then a negative slump of tumbling, self-loathing, and pity for many, many months.

I was involved with 2 women, you could say it was turbulent. It made me creative, I would have a load of bullshit ideas but never the productivity to make anything happen.

Is there any other way to live life?

Every relationship I have is turbulent because I am like a magnet for crazies and I'm pretty maladjusted myself.

Wow the plebs have really revealed themselves in this thread. If the inferior sex can tempt you away from being ascetic, nihilistic masterrace then you really are a lost cause. You're all foolish sailors drawn to rocks by sirens, while I, ta more supreme being, stand proud on my own private island of peace and superiority

The best way to live as a nihilist is to embrace hedonism. Ascetism is for patricians who believe in God.

>> No.5586974

No it's not, asceticism is for patricians who realize that worldly pleasures are ultimately attainable and inherently degenerate, and that a life of chastity and detachment is GOAT.

It's safe not to seek the ideal, even thought this ideal is unattainable, static, while beauty of your loved is always dynamic.

A life of chastity would be meaningless for a nihilist.

Which of the rooms I occupy in my mother's house is blatantly besides the point.

Come back to me when you can communicate your no-doubt limp philosophy in legible English

>>5586988
A life of chastity serves as clear evidence that I do not hold dear the atavistic belief that sexual intercourse should be given more meaning than any other actions a human decides to perform, whether it's making coffee or swatting flies. Living ascetically allows such false ideals to appear as worthless as they are, without any pitiable "pleasures" (read: distractions) to convince a person otherwise.

I slept with a girl a couple times over the summer. It made me feel good about myself, and I was suddenly more productive than I can remember being in a long time.
Before that, I'd spent about nine months trying to get over (or inside, depending entirely on her will) this girl with whom I, for some reason, was infatuated. We kissed a few times, and she always ended up telling me she wanted to be friends and nothing more immediately afterward. It was awful for my self-esteem, and I basically spent the whole winter moping.
Now, I'm starting to feel particularly lonely and empty again. I got a qt's number at a party on Sunday and I'm considering texting her. We took a class together last semester and we've talked a few times, she seems smart and she's bretty cute. I don't know, though.
