Read this: Get a fucking job, not next week, not after class, not after you save your game, get a fucking job, and once you have the job keep your mouth, do as your told and don't talk back, if you make a mistake own it, don't pass the buck, don't make excuses, everyday get up and go to work, on your days off do laundry, buy groceries, pay bills, if you have friends talk to them, if not stay out of people's lives, if you have a partner fuck them regularly, if not masturbate, do push ups, avoid fats and sweets, learn guitar, learn it well, don't play it at parties, don't drink, don't get high, pay your rent in advance, don't drive when you can walk, ride the bus, take a vacation when your ducks are in a row, have babies, eventually you'll die and all this nonsense will be over, until then just make a fucking effort.

You're right, I am, I've been into the same routine for a while now, no more drinking, no more acid, no more sexual parlor games, just going to work, coming home, reading some books, making some food, sometimes I go shopping for some clothes, secondhand of course, don't pay full price for anything. Hell, i get most of my groceries from the food bank. Keeps me from making those impulse purchases that I regret later. I am a boring motherfucker. As the saying goes, Anon, it takes one to know one.

I worked the night shift at a grocery store where all the undesirables would shop, but it wasn't just methadone addicts or prostitutes--sometimes blacks and even wealthy Chinese women would do their pantry stocking then, or come just to get luxury hair products, but there were also old kikes who'd peruse for $5 chocolate bars, and get actually offended if I suggested sales or whatever. There was one time this fucking loon who came with a magnifying glass, a literal detective magnifying glass, to look at the cash monitor and had me change the $1.00 point to $.99 cents manually until I crashed the computer, and this guy behind her has this literal fake cigarette in his mouth and he's pretending to smoke it vigorously in the store, and he just says, "that's the way she blows" and then tells me to read first John or something because it has evidence God was married I guess, and they all leave without getting anything, and the manager of the store blames me. But anyway, the way I see 90% of people keeping their receipts for the most asinine inconsequential shit has me realize I never want to make less than $80K when I'm those ages. The Pynchon-cashier story has its roots in reality, man.

Jesus, you need to put everything towards school, you need to put every effort into classwork, it is not going to stop coming at you, they are going to bury you under a stack of textbooks next year and you will need to dig yourself out. Ask for help if you have trouble, look things up online, don't plagiarize content for essays, teachers look up the same stuff you do, they know all the tricks, school separates the chaff from the wheat. Get involved in sports, get yourself fit, don't start smoking, shower everyday, focus on subjects you're familiar with, avoid specialized electives like photography and drawing, learn Spanish, learn another language, don't worry about girls, there's plenty of time for that, walk with your chin up, look people in the eye, control your words, don't blurt something out just because it occurs to you, patience, diligence, benevolence, don't be a smartass, be encouraging but not patronizing. Here's a word from Confucius, "The man of cunning words and an ingratiating face can be neither benevolent nor wise." Don't be rude, don't force intimacy.

I'm at my wits end with this post. On the one hand, this sounds like this anon wants to give honest advice. On the other hand this just says to conform to society in the most naive of ways and so this could also be read as straight satire along the lines of the "don't think, work, breed, die" critique of capitalism.

>> No.11232131

He never said not to think. Also, there is absolutely nothing wrong with working, breeding and then dying, while assuming responsibility for whatever cards you've been dealt, rather than cursing at fate all your life.

don't worry, anon. i actually liked your advice :)

I would like to add: clean your room. Not taking the piss, that shit actually matters, but this type of advice is too mundane for some so they reject it out of hand. They think they're above the comforts of reasonable conformity when in their case that just means being a sad NEET, which is a very unhealthy state to be in for the vast majority of people, even here.

He's one of the two people in this thread that recommended a book, and the only person who actually recommended a self-help book.

For what it's worth I'm in much the same lot as OP and I haven't dug myself out. Peterson still inspired me to keep my room clean, stay physically active, he was unafraid to share blackpills (you have twice as many female ancestors as male) but pushed a message that you could overcome them. I unironically paid for his future authoring program and while most of the plans I made for my future went to shit some of them didn't. i started doing talk therapy (which I was able to afford by kinda holding down some casual work for a family friend) and am planning to go on antidepressants by the end of july if I still don't have a real job. He sparked an interest in /lit/ and I went from reading 0 books a year to reading maybe 20 a year. He didn't "Cure" me but what he put me on an upwards trajectory. I've never been stronger or cleaner or more literary.

I feel at this point I've basically learned everything worthwhile he has to say at this point and join in on /lit/ mocking his nonsense. I understand how full of shit he is in a lot of ways, I just don't hate everything about him. Still if Peterson's 12 rules for life is so shit, what book should OP be reading instead?

P.S. I loved this bit from 12 rules for life. Makes me kek:

"Maybe I picked up some change in scent that night, when death hung in the air. Chris had a very bitter odour. He showered frequently, but the towels and the sheets picked up the smell. It was impossible to get them clean. It was the product of a psyche and a body that did not operate harmoniously. A social worker I knew, who also knew Chris, told me of her familiarity with that odour. Everyone at her workplace knew of it, although they only discussed it in hushed tones. They called it the smell of the unemployable."

There’s also nothing inherently „right“ with it, either.

Look, I would have nothing against that kind of advice if it wasn’t for the fact that the people who promote that idea often seem to advocate double standards, namely: it’s ok for society to treat you like shit whereas you as the average Joe should just keep your mouth shut. It’s okay for your boss to exploit and demean you, but don’t you ever there aspiring for better working/life conditions.

They’re always so quick to tell you: „Society doesn’t owe you shit“ but get real butthurt when people reply: „And I don’t owe society shit, either.“
