That pic hits home except I like reading and don't like drugs. I also prefer Fallout on the Ps3 than Ps1 crap.
I feel like if I can attain a job I could turn things around. I want to enter the tech field but am only attaining an AS. I have had friends but now they either moved or are busy so I barely see them. Never had a job, don't have a car so can only rely on others for transportation. The only chance of hope would be landing a job in the Northwest (yes, ex /pol/ fag) where my parents support me moving to. There I'd have to rely on uber and hope I can make friends and a gf though I have shitty social skills. What keeps me going is literature. Thank God for literature and Dostoevsky.

Can you /rec/ similar stuff?

[Anonymous No.12774480]

there is no "turning your life around". if your life is in need of "turning around", it's too late, and it was always going to be this way no matter what. your happiness is pretty much entirely a product of your social life (ability to obtain friends and romantic/sexual partners), which is entirely dependent on how attractive you are, which is out of your control. except if you're fat; if you're fat, it's possible you can turn your life around by losing weight so that you can have friends and romantic partners and feel fulfilled and enjoy life, but only if you have the genetics to look good once you've lost the weight.

otherwise, you just need to find effective coping mechanisms. coping is very important, don't let people convince you it's inherently bad.

Dude, buy/download/pirate a website and app blocker. Use the schedule function to lock you out of bullshit in your computer during the week. If you've been reading a lot lately, put it off for a bit. Try to enjoy music more, and go to the gym. This isn't even some spook about "be fit and it will all go away bla bla bla", it's just to break your routine a little bit. Then try to think of small incremental goals and use an app to keep track of them.

I used to dwell too much...

[Anonymous No.12775487]

I was in this state. For a year straight my schedule consisted of waking up at 4-5pm, lounge around the house in a hazy brain fog shitposting on my phone, going out and drinking coffee at 9 pm, coming home, taking a shit, smoking weed and watching YouTube/eating junk until 6 am when I'll finally sleep. Stopping any of these habits in my current place seemed terrifying, as I had bad memories of the place I was living in that when faced sober in a 12 pm sun killed my will to live. Got an easy part time job for a few months saving as much money as I can. I needed to leave and reset my fucked up head. Flew to Crete on my own(the island) and stayed there for a month so I can get through my demons in a place I didn't hate and had enough novelty to entertain my dopamine addicted brain. It worked. Came home a different person

Your brain will work his best to create new thinking patterns designed to keep your fleshy vessel alive for the sake of nothing! Because you'll die!

No book will help you. The doomer mindset can't be beaten, just tricked.
Get into a relationship with someone you bately tolerate but don't love.
Get a job you don't mind doing, regardless of the wage.
Do whatever you enjoy doing.
There is only one thing that matters and that is to stop thinking, stop existing and just employ your time. No book will help you achieve this.

True. But coping can make you semi happy. I am not depressed anymore since I read and hit the gym. Still lonely as fuck but it isnt as crushing. Cope as much as you can. Cope until death. Fullfilment isnt for us but we can die half decent. In only five years you could play some decent piano, you could draw pretty nicely, you could write a book. Normie life will always be better. Having friends and girlfriends will always be superior. But having a hobby isnt half bad either. It wont get better and nobody will care but atleast your time doesnt feel wasted

I've not read any Thomas Pynchon besides this passage just now, but I find it compelling how through cataloging the grime and leftover particulates it succinctly and naturally describes the appearance of the desk, the feeling of the room and the traits of the characters as each listing is representative of an event that has occurred in the room at the desk to the Slothrop character. Each briefly imagined event provides development to the space and characters, and the listed format conveys monotony and repetitiveness and the time spent in this occupation. All while remaining engaging to read.
