I like sports myself. Not team sports so much. Don't like team work either. Yes, yes, I wasn't the most popular guy.

But I do have a cute fiancé, slim too.

I cannot tell from the picture, but I don't thank hes more buff than me, he might be more ripped.

No doubt he's one of the happy men, but there is no envy from my perspective. There are people who I envy... for example that girl I have known and now finished her MD at Oxford. This made me a bit jelly. She was a nice girl, though.

I like philosophy, literature, politics and sociology. I'll like it whether I'm feeling miserable or great. As a small kid I was into archeology and old cultures- so in a way my interests changed little and isn't the result of being one of the outsiders. Although the introspection probably adds to my comfort in this field of study.

In a way I'm a happy man. If only I had a 120k€/year job... shit would be so cash, mate.

I went to a very peculiar start-up high school to which you had to apply to get in. There was no strong academic record or really any reason for going, so all of the people that went (including me) were weirdoes wanting to escape normal high school. There wasn't even an athletic program. If people dated at all during high school (and plenty of relatively well-adjusted, attractive people did not date even once), they normally dated 1-3 people and had sex with only one of them at best. It wasn't a superreligious school, we were all just autists with no social experience. I dated a "ludicrously high" total of six girls throughout all of high school, having sex with none of them, and for this untamable lust I received several disparaging nicknames, among them "the Woman Conqueror."

So when people speak about the "free flow" of pussy or "how easy it is" to find love in high school, I have to disagree. Maybe in average high schools, sure. But not every high school.

The high school football player kissing the cheerleader is exactly the same thing as the black man fucking the white woman...both are unattainable for you (you can't switch races and you can't go back in time to high school), which makes them perfect scenarios for you to attribute all of your failures to. "I can't be happy because I wasn't a high school football player...I can't satisfy a woman because I'm not black." Even if you do manage to be happy or satisfy a woman, it won't count in your mind. "This happiness is nothing compared to what I could have felt...she would be even more satisfied with a black guy." The unattainability of these scenarios is what keeps them alive, since they can never be falsified by your experience, they can always remain in the imaginary. It is a convenient schema for justifying your impotence.

Anything will look better from outside, but once you do shit like pic related, you will see how vapid it is.

If you already don't get joy from taking a cup of coffee in the morning, you will not enjoy stuff like pic related.

There is literally nothing, that is too good to have envy for. If you could scrap the skin and the mind of all successfull people you would see that everything they do is because they are despairing about living.

The good side effect of thinking like this, it's that once you realize that everybody is equally in despair to don't have boredom, life comes more easy going

this should be the main point of it all, you can't force someone to be in a better state. "helping them" is usually translated to one of the following
>forcing them to do things they don't want to
>being cheery around them when they don't want that
>explaining to them why their feelings are wrong
>proposing useless things to do that neither of you would do
>sit down and absorb all their negativity

This is what really grinds my fucking gears about these types of people. It sort of reminds me of the dialogues in Infinite Jest between Marathe and Steeply, where Marathe believes that the American people are so obsessed with pleasure they would literally die for it. Pleasure is like the root of everything these people do, and it makes me fucking sic. They have no real reason to exist other then to stuff as much pleasure as they can into every waking moment. I can't handle that type of mindless hedonism in people, especially when people don't even realize their being hedonistic.

All of everybody's actions at all ages can always be reduced to some form of compensation. The central issue is where you see your actions stemming from, as that is what ultimately defines your personality and your future actions. Outside perspective (eg., therapy) can be helpful, but one should not approach it as a solution, but rather as a tool.

High school is 4 years (5 if you are retarded, 3 if you are cleaver [not smart, cleaver]). So if you didn't get pussy in high school but do now, isn't that a better thing?

Actually, you can't. Only teenage love is real because it's based on a genuine relationship between equals, while adult relationships are based on several other interests such as financial interests, desire for stability, status whoring etc

Besides, all girls have experienced teenage romance, so they won't want to repeat the same pattern later in their lifes, they are looking for something else.
