I am legitimately grateful for 4chan, despite all the inherent drawback of people receiving complete and utter equity in conversation; for all the anons who come here and share what they love, their opinions. This place, overloading with viewpoints, like a microcosm of society, has led me to discover a lot of thing in my life that I hold dear—whether it be /mu/core I love, or the meme trilogy that has led me to many an epiphany... I hold you dear, anon. Even though you sometimes post stuff that makes me wanna tear my hair out, I appreciate it; I know that people need a place to shoot ideas, to share the growing pains, all under the protection of anonymous.

Normies are fucking terrifying in real life after you've spent several years on a website like 4chan being able to say and think whatever you want. Everything they do is first and foremost concerned with how it affects their position on the social hierarchy, and everything anybody says has to be subjected to ruthless thought control.

College-aged upper middle class people are the most fucked up because they live in such a bubble that you can't even imagine it until you've seen it firsthand. They are literally scared of words. They can't hear anything that upsets them, or that might even theoretically upset anybody else, or they will get really uncomfortable and start trying to do all kinds of creepy "pulling rank" shit via their social hierarchy points, all kinds of playground group dynamics stuff like excluding people or gossiping about them while being nice to their face. It's absolutely insane.

You can see it happen in real time, too, or even do little social experiments to see how it works. You can say something that sounds like it should be somehow offensive, but that actually isn't offensive at all, and then watch their brains try to find a way to be offended about it, because that's what you're "supposed to do." Normies always do "what you're supposed to do," or more correctly, "what you do." Normies live constantly in fear of not doing "what one does." So they will go around using some kind of algorithmic heuristic pattern recognition software in their brains to detect shit that looks like something they've seen on TV or seen other high-ranked monkeys in the tribe do, and they'll try to replicate it externally, and fill in the details of motivation or intent later. They'll pounce on something that appears externally like it fits the pattern recognition of "offensive," and they'll start play-acting the I'm Offended behavior, and when you deconstruct it by revealing that it was never offensive to begin with, their atrophied normie brains will become completely confused and start trying to shunt to another synapse, find some way to socially shame you.

I have never been more terrified of the potential of the human brain to be irreparably developmentally stunted than I have while talking to college kids at a good university. They are like overprotected little kids in a daycare who have never been allowed to do anything other than what their mommy and a special cabal of kindergarten teachers tells them is okay to do. I don't know how they live like that. You can see their furtive little eyes jiggering around in discomfort or shock when someone says something that sounds like a bad word. All the men have been trained to be hunter-seeker look-how-much-of-a-queer-I-am algorithms, searching for opportunities to declare loudly and proudly that being a faggot is good, and having any norms or expectations or hopes for human behavior is evil. Judging anyone is evil. Everything except being a frightened sad little pussy all the time is evil.

After trying to help a friend and support them emotionally for over a year now i've finally cut connects with them since they arent actually getting better but worse, and i just feel like an emotional battery to them. They steal hundreds of dollars of shit a day, try to OD on prescription medication whenever anything bothers them, excessively drink every other day, huff spray scans, never actually goes to school, and involves themselves with really shitty people even though me as well as many others tell them that those people are only going to make their lives so much more worse. Ive told them that ive gotten sick of the loop of them acting like they are getting better only for them to just get even worse than before and unless they make some significant efforts to change their habits i am not going to speak to them ever again. This person was also like my best friend and we spoke everyday and she trusted me pretty much like no other. I just hope that after a couple of days she just tries to change so this can all end for fuck sake I miss her so much. Nothing else has worked since she is so fucking stubborn and refuses to accept any help so this feels like the only way to motivate her though i feel like im being a complete piece of shit.

don't waste yourself trying to save her anon; you made the right decision to stop talking to her, but I think you should know that she may not get any better from your decision of doing so. If you really want her to get better your going to be very affirmative, however you wouldn't really be her friend then. She is going to want to get better when she desires to get better, which may never happen and it might be to late. She is an anchor to your life but I also think if you really cared for that person with a lot of love you wouldn't really let go of her I would imagine you fighting to save her even if it was futile.

She says she does the stealing/drinking/drugs ect. Because she needs to "cope". She is bipolar and has like some chronic depression issues and mental health in her family is absolute shit. I totally understand why someone would do those things to cope, but what she doesnt understand is that all of her actual problems stem from her trying to "cope". Her life wouldnt be so fucking garbage and her parents and friends wouldnt be so disappointed in her if she didnt do these things to try to calm herself down and actually seeked help from people who actually care about her and want to see her grow. Shes totally aware of what shes doing, knows how its going to effect her and how everyone is going to react to it, but still does it anyway. Basically shes selfish, she only cares about the present and doesnt give a fuck that what she does now is going to make the future even worse, and when she has to deal with the future she has to do even more to cope with it, and it just loops on and on like that. Then she just expects everyone to say "Oh well thats just how she deals with things, oh well! We still love you and are here for you!" Like what the actual fuck we can only take so much before something has to be done i can't watch someone ruin themselves like this.

I'm sorry i am not going to post pictures of her or tell you exactly where she steals from because to be honest that is irrelevant in my opinion. She steals from department stores and big name brand stores she likes and basically hasnt payed for anything shes wanted in awhile. Shes gotten extremely good at figuring out ways of sneaking shit out and removing the sensor tags on clothes and what not and its just fucking shameful honestly. These are like $300 jackets and shit too its not like shes poor and these are necessities, and her mother could just give her money to buy whatever she needed as well she is just so ungrateful. If you want me to describe her as a person i can in another post, but i wont do much of a physical description. Shes actually very pretty and had a lot of things going for her when she wasnt acting like this before but im sure with everything shes doing shes going to ruin everything good thing there was about herself.

how old is she? Is she like some gangster chick, or little crustpunk goth girl, or trailer park trash?

I understand the cope, simply it seems she (feels) is trapped (by life, by the systems of the world, by her opportunities), she craves power, freedom. She is likely easily bored, maybe has a creative potential mind, maybe upset about lack of creativity so this behavior is her 'art', expression. Her thrill, feeling of adventure, adrenaline junky, maybe she could theoretically be capable of working at a mall kiosk or nail salon like other girls but would be bored by that, maybe her fate is she would be bored with many normal activities, maybe simply her thought patterns and expectations of self, feelings, view of the world, self hatred and disappoint, inability to succeed, the terror of the repetitions of the normality's of life. She certainly needs direction and drive, and hope and promise, and proven worthiness of obeying. How hot is she?

I understand where you're coming from about me sticking to the end, but you have to understand that ive been trying to emotionally support/attempting to devise numerous ways of helping her out of her situation for over a year now. At this point ive tried everything that ive could to help her, and it basically comes down to me being her "friend" means I am just enabling her bad habits. I am the type of person to directly address shit that is ruining a person upfront and honestly especially its someone i love and care about like a family member or best friend, so I am not going to just sit here and be like "Well look yeah those things youre doing are bad and yeah you need to stop but it's okay i understand why you did it and i still love you :)))))". It doesnt actually change anything when i say shit like that, and ive tried to be less passive when talking about that shit but she literally just wont hear it. Ive done something like im doing now before when she was trying to OD on pills and i actually managed to make her record herself flush the pills down the toilet (though i didnt say i was going to cut connections back then, it was something lesser) so i am hoping that this will happen again similar to that. If I'm really as important of a person as she says I am to her then she would fucking change. She literally told me everything, even shit she wouldnt tell her parents or other friends. If this doesnt work im not putting up with this bullshit and enabling anything anymore, and the person that i knew and loved might as well be dead because shes become an entirely different person.

how old is she? 19-26. I would say well if thats your last straw you should find a really good rehab center and contact counselors to apprehend her and take her away, but that can either result in her becoming a pure self again thanking you for saving her or she tries to kill herself. She likely is just trying to escape the world in a consistent blur of pleasure, and as you said, the future doesnt matter, only as much fun and pleasure she can experience. So how do you see her trajectory, 40 year old bar hooker crackwhore? Drugdealer boyfriends in jail? just pure bad extreme drug addict? homeless? Or she will change in a few years?

She's 18, not really goth but dresses kind of edgy like a "I dont really give a fuck" kind of style. The main things that i think effects her are attention and being sexually desired. She feeds off of positive attention, and shes told me she likes putting people in a position where they have romantic feelings for her even if she doesnt feel romantically towards them because she enjoys the feeling of being loved. Her father divorced her mother early so that probably makes up like a 75% of the causality right there and the other 25% is probably shit she sees online like garbage social media bullshit, this boy she involves herself with, and lack of guidance/structure in her household and family environment. Also lets just say shes hot enough that both boys/girls her age are constantly all over her shit, and even in public both boys and older guys say shit to her. Her fucking close friend who is a girl is basically lesbian over her despite being with some guy and she basically told me they did lesbian shit just so that she could feel that sense of love even though that friend actually has feelings for her. That friend came out to her and she shot it down. Have i been involving myself with a sociopathic bitch, i didnt even know what to say to that when she told me.

Shes only been involved with this one guy who is probably a worse fuck up than her when it comes to drugs. He is manipulative and loves treating her like shit one moment and then the next telling her that he loved her and cant live without her. Hes fucking with other girls while hes talking to her and she doesnt realize he just sees her as another girl to fuck. When she came back from the hospital from ODing and was in recovery her parents, not knowing who he really was, let him come down to see her since she really wanted to see him and he was more focused on trying to fuck her (even though her head was still really fucked up) then actually being there for her emotionally. They fight and break up and then come back together like every other week and we all tell her he is not good for her but it's the classic abused woman dilemma. I moved from where she was two years back so i havent seen her from most of this but we still spoke and kept in touch pretty much everyday. The stealing and all of that is real we have mutual friends to confirm and ive been on a call where i heard the tag going off and she ran out of the store with one of the jackets which actually was like $300. She absuses shit like panadol, oxycodone, valium, and other perscription medications, as well as shit with butane in it and alcohol. Shes basically a mess. Shes like a sister to me so it really makes me sick seeing her do this to herself i dont know what to do anymore.

How long have you known her? Its crazy how consistent and archtypichal these scenarios are, in the sense that there are people like this in probably every highschool for the past 50 years. Reading this stuff flashes back several girls who I was aware of in highschool, hot druggie party sluts. I mean there are a lot of them in the world, guys too. (Are you the close lesbian friend?) I dont think she is that crazy, to her perspective there is a lot of bad in life and it makes the most sense to run towards freedom, fun, partying, what increases her self esteem and happiness. Life to her appears like a dream now, she is just floating through. The facts of the age of 25 is impossibly far off for her, 18 feels like forever. The biggest thing I guess is, what can she possibly do with her life to make a living, either marry a rich drug dealer (or rich someone or other), become a stripper, webcam model, work at an accessories store, be a receptionist, or what else? The bottom line is life does not seem real to her, only fun seems real to her, and important. And it is hard to convince her otherwise. If there are man that would date her and take care of her and pay for her because shes hot, and she just accepts that life as tragic or comedic as it is, what could make her happier?

She says she wants to run of with that guy, i see her doing it. They probanly hook up officially and he gets her involved into actually hardcore drugs. They both feed each others fucked up tendecies and her life becomes competely ruined, they have a huge fight where she cannot absolutely stand him anymore and cant forgive him for what hes done to her life and shes just another used up forgotten street fuck up or she just kills herself.

Damn yea, she needs to be shackled and brought to an organic farm, not to do hard labor, but pleasant mellow labor, for some time, tend the gardens, and animals (detox, purify, get in touch with the roots of humanistic being and the grand majestic glory of nature). She likely is not a self, she cant bare just being a normal simple her, so she is constantly attempting to escape that (like most people) with fun and excitement and danger, what could possibly be in her mind when not on drugs, what could she possibly find interesting or compelling in and of and about the world (besides reality tv show drama)?

I'm not the lesbian friend. I understand her hedonistic viewpoint but i really thought she was more empathetic than to manipulate people close to her to get a type of attention she wants. How can you lead on that girl and then just leave her there like that? It's entirely selfish. She doesnt realize that none of those life routes youve listed have any sort of long term value to them, that one day shea going to wake up and the realities of life and who she really is are going to hit her so hard that no amount of present in the moment partying will be able to make up for it. Everything catches up to you eventually, i just want her to lead an actual happy and fulfilling life, but if she wants to be a fuck up so bad its like what can i say or do.

well maybe the lesbian friend was blowing it out of proportion a bit, maybe your girl in question was just in the mood to experiment, or lonely that night, or drugged, thought she may be into it, never suggested there was chance of seriously dating, but the lesbian just had her imagination of this being her dream girl and full of hope, maybe she could continue to hook up but idk whatever, maybe her life would be better if she just had a pure life with the lesbian, but the lesbian likely does not have big enough muscles, hair, money, dick, drugs.

I spoke to both of them seperately about it. My friend told me that she was in the moment when she said she liked her, and she was drunk and on valium and whatever, and that any feelings she has towards the lesbian was purely because she wasnt recieving enough romantic attention, especially from that boy that i mentioned before. The lesbian told me that my friend was giving her all the signs like she did every other time they met and then afterwards just keeps giving her the cold shoulder leaving her confused. I had to be the one to actually tell her what was up and that my friend was basically using her for attention and she got really pissed. Honestly i would much much much rather them hook up than her continue going for this guy since the lesbian girl isnt a complete fuck up. I just want her to end up with someone who will actually care for her as a person.

You're probably right. I just wish she would fucking admit it.

It's a slap in the face to me because shes told me "Youre probably one of if not the only person i feel actually happy being around" but then moments later she wont listen to me beg her to not fucking go out and OD on some medication.

this lady friend of yours sounds like she’s on her way out of this world, and may already have chosen her fate. you cling to her because you are both fearful of silence, the audience with the Self you dread more than all other states, and because she represents a destiny that you feel you’ve already earned; fate is not something (You) could know now, and this avaricious clinging to outcomes, imprisoning others in your world as signs of some act or event that (You) are pathologically disposed towards is a cruelty unworthy of that Self of yours, which (You) would realize if (You) were not mortified of making contact with It.

Leave her in the mouth of Hell, she’s fertilizer for higher beings now, or lesser powers, perhaps she’s a vessel for evil, no amount of pleading with Nature, which determines libidinous people’s behavior, will change its principle of vicious selection against wasteful hedonism.

I had a scary dream last night where some cab driver was driving me and a friend over a bridge in NYC and suddenly there was a brick wall in front of us. We crash into it and end up on the ground next to the wreck. On the opposite side hundreds of pedestrians were stopped and looking at us but all I could pay attention to was one huge solitary building at the base of the bridge that kept reflecting bits of light directly onto my face. I kept staring at it because otherwise I would stare at the 2 bars seperating me from a 500 yard fall into the hudson. This fear of heights along with the opressive and exagerated height of the building disoriented me to the point of torture and I woke up sweating... lol

I'll be honest anon i struggled understanding that last half of the first paragraph, though just know I cling only so much as to wonder if this is really the last way i can possibly help her, by cutting all contact with her. I am naturally a person who secludes himself, more of a watcher/listener. I only actually open up when i really get close to someone or when im trying to understand something, so although me leaving her really kills me, deep down i know i can move on from this, i have no problem being alone. To me doing whats right and benficial to both me and her is most important. If the truth is that there is no help for her and any further involvement means im going to fuck my own life then im not going to let it happen. People come and go, I just hope it doesnt have to end the way i think it does.

but like

"the only reason I ever said any of what I said is because I truly deeply love you and care about you, I know how you are feeling, how hard the world is, how much thats expected, how boring it can be, how fun and easy and carefree drugs and men can be, but you are not invincible, everyone thinks they are when they are your age, and when they all hear this they still think not them, this will catch up to you, I will show you many pictures of 35 year old crackwhores and methheads, and women in jail beaten by their druggie boyfriend."

Use things we mentioned in our convo in the letter, like your understanding of her wanting to escape and what you ay hear about admit shes thrill seeker.

I'm really doing this under the assumption that we're not going to actually permanently break of communication, and yeah actually the whole way this thing started was actually from me writing something similar to something you wrote although probably less supportive to be honest. I was just saying things like we all love you, we want to see you grow and flourish, if you keep going for him youll be a fuck up like him, things like that but written better and more personal/in greater detail, and during it she just deleted me because she said if i cant handle her coping mechanisms i should just leave/shouldnt be her friend. Then i blocked her on everything, she kept calling me saying to please unblock and why did i block her and the last thing i told her was "I'll unblock you when you actually try to change" and then she just hung up on me. The fact that she ran away from both conversations instead of actually talking was pretty upsetting but whatever. I dont think this is going to be permanent. I've tried being much nicer and supportive like in your suggestion in the past but trust me it doesnt mean anything, it only shows that i care and she knows that already but it wont actually make her want to change.

I am smarter and wiser and better equipped to live a happy life than I ever have been in my life, but I am about to graduate from college and I have to begin making real decisions about my life and I am concerned that my efforts at saintliness and meaning-making and joyfully wholesome living will fail, and I will as such either fall into a perpetual depression or I will give up on high ideals and accept a soulless egoism. While I have a broad game plan as to what I will do with myself in the coming years, I am concerned that I will either fail to carry it out or that I will carry it out and it will be unsatisfying. Further, I am concerned that even if my gameplan works out fully and I find myself in a worthwhile, well-paying job that provides not only satisfaction but also security, I may nonetheless fail in other domains of healthy, wholesome living, from sleep hygiene to friendship to love to creative or otherwise intellectual endeavor, and as such still find myself unhappy for those failings, still living in an incomplete or insufficient way. I have decided that I am not as intelligent as I would like to be and am unlikely to be remembered (or even mocked) as philosophical and literary figures on this board are, and I additionally realize that even if I take the alternative route of laboring to improve the lives of others by direct involvement via a helping profession of some sort that may also be a waste of time and energy if you take a bird's eye view or existential lens. I am excited to escape from college and experience new things, but I am concerned that I will look back on my life from my deathbed and feel that I could've done better, especially because it appears to be a fundamental impossibility to ever do enough, as no matter how much good I do there is always an abstracted "better." But then, the perfect is the enemy of the good.

I read 'Industrial Society and Its Future' recently. It didn't contain anything I didn't already know, but to see the truth so clearly and concisely articulated has eradicated the delusions I had subconsciously created to bear living in this society. I can see clearly now the future that awaits me, I'll be a fucking technician of some kind, I'll work 40 hours or more a week at some job I fucking hate, I'll come home to an empty apartment, I'll consume mass entertainment and swallow whatever drugs they prescribe me to keep me docile. Was a fulfilling communal life too much to ask for from this fucking universe? I guess so.

I'm sorry to hear this. I'm not suggesting that you try and get her back. It's probably most likely not a good idea I don't think. But maybe you should apologize to her somehow, and let her know that you see what you did was wrong. Hopefully, this will catalyze a change in your outlook and allow you to continue a meaningful existence. You seem smart. Get out there. Stop wasting time.

I want to write and draw something that has meaning to it and I've tried taking classes to improve both my art and writing. But I'm still shit (at least by 4chan standards) at drawing to the point where it seems my pencil has more of a say in the final product than I do. Nobody can understand anything I even say in a normal conversation without me having to repeat myself or break it down. The stuff I wrote for my classes also confused all the people in the class despite the fact that my proofreaders could understand what was going on completely.

I'm at a point where I don't know if it's me and some form of autism or normies just not being capable of grasping anything that isn't blatantly stated in bold lettering.

I lack control of what I say, write, and draw no matter how much practice I put into it.

It's like I'm in a bubble where no matter how hard I struggle to try to convey some form of idea nobody hears me.

>> No.10963048

It's been five years since I had a girlfriend, and I've done a lot of growing up since then, so I'm looking for someone new. However, due to circumstances outside my control, I'm currently going to school (college) with people mostly 5-6 years younger than me. So the girls all look like children to me, which is unattractive, and most of them are stupid as hell. I can't believe how truly alone I am in the world, aside from my very small family. I've made no friends, I have no money, and I'm losing faith in women in general because they all, even the ones I know and have known for many years, seem intent on dismantling the world I was taught to live and function in. I am getting fit (sort of skinny, but gaining muscle) to try to attract women, and it's just about all I can do. I'm not particularly charming, but I'm a kind and compassionate guy, and so none of my (admittedly few) good qualities get a chance to come through because I'm never in a situation where I can talk to a girl one on one. So my hope, which at this point is more like a fantasy, is to find an attractive young woman with compatibility who by a significant stroke of luck ends up in a situation where the only person nearby to talk to is me. At that point, maybe she would see something in me that I don't see, and she would want to spend time together. I so desperately want someone to love and be strong for, because I don't particularly like myself, and I feel that a good relationship might give me a purpose. I know how pathetic it sounds, but these are thoughts I bury very deep, and I know I'm not alone in doing so. I've had a rough couple of years where I thought I'd die at any moment, as a virgin, and that I'd never hold a girl and kiss her the way I did when I was nineteen. I was noble in my teens and still am. Girls make passes at me, but if I feel nothing for them, I avoid them in fear of hurting their feelings if I lose interest after the first date or two. I've had chances at getting laid, but because I never felt love for the girls, I never did it, to spare us both the pain. I just want God or fate or karma to meet me halfway on this one, even though I never abstained expecting some kind of cosmic reward. I just want to love and be loved.

Yeah, I'm more fortunate now than I was before in regards to being around people in my daily life. I just have this feeling that nobody at my school is good for me. It's a community college (I'm switching to a legitimate university when I get my AA in a year or so), and most of the people here are really kind of dim and rough-looking.
I'm in two clubs, one of which only communicates through email (fuck this retarded modern and "convenient" world) and one of which is populated by people so dull and immature that it shocks me. They did a school-shooting drill together where one of them played the shooter and shot the rest with an airsoft gun, and they were all laughing about it without any irony or consideration for the gravity of what they were doing. I wasn't offended at all, I just felt like I had discovered that they were all truly stupid people. They're just odd to me, and their little hierarchy is baffling.
I'm not socially awkward, far from it in fact, and despite how it sounds, I don't expect a lot from people. I should be doing better than I'm doing. But my school is like a high school- there's just no socialization. People cringe away from each other's eye contact (not just mine) and the hallways are silent. Being young today is way less fun than it should be. Nobody seems to realize that they'll all be dead one day, so they plod along like I did in my teens, like they expect life to just start happening to them at some point in the near future. They're wrong about that. It doesn't work that way at all.

Not really mysterious, it's just hard to fully explain. I was born and raised in michigan, and when I was a teenager the automobile industry went belly-up there, so it became near impossible for me to get a job even flipping burgers because 40-50 year olds with 20-30 years of work experience were flooding the market looking for a job, any job. So both myself and my parents couldn't find good work. We spent almost ten years moving around the country numerous times, sometimes with less than a year between moves. I couldn't hold a job for long, I had other expenses, and even online school was a no-go. So my growth was, and remains, stunted.
The place I'm living now is more permanent, hence the classes, but now I'm just struggling to play catch up while all these 18 year olds around me are getting cars, getting married, and most of my old friends have children of their own. Shit fucks me up sometimes.

All I can do is parrot what others have said before me, never contribute to any conversation or collection of thoughts worth having.

my addiction is so intense it has been the #1 source of sadness for the last five years, it has destroyed my willpower and probably my entire prefrontal cortex, it has made me jerk off so hard i get wounds on my dick, and it has given me erectile dysfunction. i've tried to quit so much but i just fucking can't, i havent gone longer than 10 days without porn in forever.

why does everyone on this board rave about the 'Circe' chapter in Ulysses? I'm two thirds of the way through and its been such a fucking slog. i've loved the rest of the novel (expect Oxen which i don't understand the praise for either) but this chapter, whilst i can admit its very creative, is completely tedious. who the fuck wants to read dozens of pages about Bloom's domination fantasy? you get the gist of it after a short while but Joyce just keeps on going until you're completely sick of the whole concept. most of the fantasy sections of the book have been this way, they look like they were more fun to write than they are to read. when Joyce starts with wacky stuff like "He shot his bolt, I can tell you! Foot to foot, knee to knee, belly to belly, bubs to breast! He’s no eunuch. A shock of red hair he has sticking out of him behind like a furzebush!" then my eyes just glaze over and i wonder whats happened to the beautiful masterpiece that the novel was a couple of chapters ago.

someone explain the appeal of this to me.

>> No.10965438

>>10965371
I really enjoyed it when I imagined it as a staged play in a completely blackened stage and the voices and characters appear from out of the darkness, and seeing Bloom's anxieties really began to create a more full characterization.

The only chapter I didn't like was the Wandering Rocks.

>> No.10965450

>>10965438
Hmm that’s interesting. I don’t really enjoy reading plays so maybe that’s part of my problem. Wandering Rocks was actually one of the strongest chapters for me, I loved reading Joyce lavish attention on strangers for a few pages and then jump to another perspective - i think it’s done beautifully. What was your problem with it?

yeah, it can be the difference between gently smoothly slowly filling a bucket up with pristine pure fresh water as it politely overflows and invigorates and mystifies: and a 1000 dumptrucks of diarrhea into that little bucket a second for 5 hours

Take smaller amount than larger, and if have any extra take little extra if you feel you want more after an hour or so, but the magnitudes of severity are real, little differences are unimaginably massive. Rates of speed, reflection, repetition, forefront of the mind, pounded with itself, multiplicities of functions all uniquely novelly reacting and interacting, multiple thoughts at once, multiple awarenesses of multiple aspects of body at once, changing. Really gotta be in the right setting, right with your self severely, more than you think is possible, right people if that is possible, no negative things to dwell on.

I think we get exactly what we put into in terms of effort. A person bearing nothing and with none to offer to some goal will get nothing out. Sometimes, that point pierces me. I look at other people with their goals and dreams, and I have mine, but it is no good unless I work towards it as they might be. I could blame the weather. Summer-bound one day, and endlessly wet another. I wear my worn-out green hoodie jacket on those days, even though I know the thin fabric isn’t enough to keep my flesh from the drops. One could blame the weather for all sorts of things. She’s a harbinger of a bad grade in class. My mood is tied to the layer of clouds, or lack of, and, frankly, it’s a lazy cop-out for people who can’t seem to suffer another morning of cold toes and outgoing cold stares. I risk sounding like a downer, an insufferable cunt; however, this soul hopes for something other than a down-like feeling because every second I feel like my insides were dipped in ice water is a second that I loathe. Maybe my generation wasn’t meant to have a destiny, like the World-War II crowd, or maybe we’re a gaggle of 20 somethings that haven’t found it yet. At least soldiers know that they will either run into the riptide and die, or survive on the basis of their leader’s command. Starbucks baristas do not die with a sense of comfort that they fulfilled a profound duty.

I have a high school friend who purposefully does not capitalise the start of sentences when he messages from his phone.
Apparently it's the style on tinder, along with never sending anything other than jokes.

He sleeps with lots of women and insists that it's healthy, when I tell him it's not he says he worries I won't be able to hold a relationship because of my lack of experience and calls me a fundie Christian.
He recently ended a relationship with a girl he said he loved because he wanted to fuck more girls before he settled down with just one.
Additionally, he has depression and claims the only time he feels happy and like a real man is after sex.
He has the "just think happy thoughts" type of depression, he's constantly positive and scolds me whenever I'm critical, he always pretends he's happy even when he's obviously not.

I think positive thinking is horrible, along with the just world thinking which often comes attached.
Free expression is essential, it's OK to be angry or sad and sometime bad shit happens completely out of your control.

I think 4chan is a great opponent of positive and just world thinking, the anonymous format removes the social incentives for claiming everything's fair and good while removing the disincentives for really opening up and bitching about the things you hate.

I don't know but I'm going to guess the problem is more centered on actual flaws in morality and character and you should probably focus on becoming the human being you want to be before you try and form a relationship. Think about all the things you do that make you feel bad and stop doing them, think about all the external things that make you feel bad and think about why they make you feel bad, follow your conscience and never take short cuts or easy ways to success.

For example, you fuck up and end up damaging your neighbors mailbox.
>you could immediately go to your neighbor and offer to pay for a replacement.
>you could bet on them not having evidence or not being able to prove its you who wrecked it.

You should pick the former not because of any financial reasoning in the future, not because you hope to gain any favor or anything like that, but because you'll know you didn't betray someones trust. When you make bad decisions by taken advantage of people you might "get ahead" but those failures in character will haunt you forever. They degrade your self worth in the same way that making a commitment and then breaking it degrades your self worth. When you see people in porn that look like broken shells of human beings it's because of repeatedly making decisions they knew were wrong until they don't respect themselves anymore.

TLDR: You can't trust or respect people unless you are trustworthy and respect yourself. Not even hippie mumbo-jumbo shit, it's actually just a reality of the human brain.

What was meal time like for you growing up? Were you particular about foods? Did you have any allergies? What are you favourite metaphors for describing the world? How do you feel about germs? What is your view on self assessment in psychology? Give that your rule abiding character smacks of predictability, what cases would you say fit the parameters for rule breaking here, within the group, and what parameters fit for rule breaking that only effects you individually?

You don't have to answer these obviously. But I'd like for you think about them, but not from a critical point of view. Answer them after your reaction has settled into calm disdain so that it becomes nothing to you, so that you have power over it. Once you are in control, answer as openly as you can and tell no one the answers here unless you see why that might be helpful.

It is the total repression of hatred, the total monopoly against violence that sits directionless inside during adolescence, slowly be channelled towards some others aim in the disguise of justice. It is the wanton lust for autonomy just as a child plays roughly to learn their appendages, the unfixed hate and violence so repressed in the sexually inactive, so unchallenged in debates of higher values, so much a megalomaniac brother in an iron mask. To find a pit and a crowd, to enter the collosseum, to know the collosseum is beautiful, that it is beautiful because you are forced to play, to be a personae, and therefore to oppose, to hate. Learning to hate and to act out of this hate and then call it justice is difficult for all. That empathy is itself a form of violence is not well understood by many.

sign up for a semester or two of latin at the local uni, saldy low cost community colleges probably only have "practical" language classes like "spanish for general contractors" or "arabic for federal agents" but the flagship campus of a state university in a well funded blue state will have it

I want to learn NLP and how to read micro-expressions and body language because I’m habitually awkward, confrontational, and unpleasant

I read a book on NLP in which the author applied his principles and the writing was very persuasive. I’ve also listened to practitioners speak and they sound very authoritative and articulate because of their word choice and intonation. it’s not a formalized scientific discipline but I think the techniques learned from books can be applied and honed through trial and error

I'm loosing my feets, but I'll not touch any sky - I've already ascended till the point I met deities, but I feel they're all factice ones... Praising in me only what's liable to the joyful disembowelment of my still impossible flesh. It does'nt even mean I'm pure as a soul, yet I'm trapped in something which can't be myself, corrupting every act I dare to commit.

I'm everywhere like that. I've lost every place I've found for me and every instant I might have been enjoying, stucked in the realm this fucking appetized ambiguity of mine.

I'm trapped in between an aspiration to phantasize and another to despise what I'll do and be, and I don't know no escape. I'm sullenn, but not even able to feel despair bc I'm still moving - and erring - towards something I wish greater.

Actually it's never the case. I hate time.

Yesterday was a grey day. Was too damn cold too be outside picking up trash, and by the time we were done it started snowing. Today the clouds hid. I had to wear a hat on the Railroad Trail to shoo away the sun, and even then the asphalt was a mirror for the rays. The wind insistently threatened to steal my hat, though. A friend of mine said I was good with kids while watching me play around with another friend's baby brother. The child was attached to the idea of heroes- Spiderman, Power Rangers, and now, TMNT. Kept trying to smack his sister's beige coat, but she smacked back playfully, and he started sobbing like kids do. He went to me and pulled on my slacks, told me to pick him up and that he's getting bigger and stronger and I held him as he twiddled with my glasses. Called me an old man, and tried my glasses on. I guess 19 is archaic for a 4 year old. I told my friend I hated kids.

I was going with a lesbian couple. I talked to Girl A face-to-face and made the arrangements to go to the location on Sunday. Girl B showed up at my house on Saturday and woke me up to ask if we could go that day instead. Told her that I'd already made the plans to go on Sunday with Girl A two days prior and that she should've been told that already. Girl B provided no explanation as to why she wanted to leave on Saturday and said "okay" and left. Several hours later, Girl A called me talking about how the weather is supposed to be bad on Sunday and we should leave on Saturday instead.

The weather was fine, by the way.

My dad gets drunk every evening and my mom is a hoarder. They're divorced. Neither of them read or really care about anything in the world. No ambition. No goals. One just wants to drink and the other just wants to be surrounded by junk. I have very little money and I want to leave this town. My friends don't understand me. I don't really care.
