I don't want Buddhism to be true because I refuse to believe the world is bad and that you can't find fulfillment in it despite the fact life isn't perfect, but what it says makes so much sense in a philosophical way to me it scares me the only way to enjoy the game is not to play and that everything I have ever experienced, even love towards my parents, gf, etc. is imperfect and not worth it in the end. I understand that we have very little evidence of a historical Buddha, that it's a religion like any other with all sorts of weird shit going inside it and that you can find a rational or competing metaphysical explanation for the things it says, but the basic premise is too horrible for me and just telling me to "let go" won't help. I want to make it clear that I don't want meaning in life, I think that being free from imposed rules and being able to follow your own path, whichever, as imperfect as it might be, is the only way to true, personal freedom, but then along comes this crushing 2500 year old clown telling me even freedom is a delusion and the only possible freedom is to stop wanting everything and just being. I understand there's all sorts of cruel, senseless stuff in the natural world and that life IS to a degree, suffering, but I believe part of what makes it so good, so enjoyable is to be able to find the good things in spite of the bad ones. Needless to say, reincarnation and karma make no sense to me, or I should say, I don't see how they rationally follow form the basic truths of anatta, anicca and dhukka, but I guess that's just Buddhism still being embedded in the culture and philosophical traditions that spawned it.

I just want a comfy circle of friends. The ones I currently hang out with are fun when getting drunk and all but if I am really honest they are ignorant and I don't really like them. It would be so damn nice to have someone to talk about and do stuff that I actually enjoy and someone with whom I could be honest about everything. Doesn't really matter if it is a gf or friends but I need this person in my life. I'm fine with doing solitary activities but it doesn't fulfill me.
I think I would become a different person in some ways if I were able to surround myself with different people, it would probably help me reach my full potential.
But unfortunately I don't know that kind of people and am not the best at getting to know others.

I also understand that there were very similar schools of thought back in the days it was originally developed and that Buddhism is simply the one that came on top, regardless of the existence of a historical Gautama, I've read some interesting stuff about how Buddhism doesn't "hold up" to the criticism of some of those ancient schools, particularly phenomenological stuff that I won't go into detail here but that has to do with nested awareness and memory. I won't deny the therapeutic value of meditation, but I don't think it can be taken on more than faith that the altered states of consciousness it can lead to are in some way, transcending, and not just our brains working in a different way. It seems to me, meditation could be a kind of induced dissociation, or "brain engineering" to reconstruct our awareness and parts in a different way. I know to a degree, most Buddhists will tell me it's exactly that, but under the surface of that acceptance I feel lies a dishonest "it's okay if that's what you're ready for, one day you'll come to us and we'll teach you the ultimate truth. You're less wrong, but still fundamentally wrong about the nature of reality and we, and only we have the one true explanation".
>But you can be a lay Buddhist or just take the good parts like mindfulness
See, that's something I can't agree with either. Part of what unleashed my current existential crisis is realizing that in a way I WAS already a Buddhist, my beliefs aligned rather closely (but not completely) with theirs, and suddenly finding something that's so close to what I believed in, minus this world being fundamentally wrong in some way. I've always thought that, while life might be sad or uncaring sometimes, it is beautiful, and it struggling in the face of that, that can be uplifting and that in the words of Nietzche (yes, I know he didn't like Buddhism either) "If we affirm one single moment, we thus affirm not only ourselves but all existence. For nothing is self-sufficient, neither in us ourselves nor in things; and if our soul has trembled with happiness and sounded like a harp string just once, all eternity was needed to produce this one event — and in this single moment of affirmation all eternity was called good, redeemed, justified, and affirmed."

I just realized I fucked up my writing, but I this has been eating at me for days now, and I haven't slept well.

As I was saying, I found out that Buddhist beliefs, particularly about us not being just our emotions, desires, etc. closely resembled my personal ideas, and it scared me that if started down that path then eventually I'd be converted and accept all the stuff that is antithetical to most of my other beliefs, and that isn't just a leap of faith, is brainwashing. I think a big part of the problem is that despite being raised Catholic, I've never felt close to or practiced any religion, not that I felt I needed it, but maybe I did in some way. So, when I found Buddhism and it started making sense I had a huge crisis in which I couldn't accept that one of the religions, as dubious and stifling as all others, got it right, that it got the exact truth of the universe, or something very close to it, right. While it might have been a huge relief, an end to my persona dhukka, to just embrace the revelation and start chasing Nirvana, it just feels wrong giving up on the world and the people I love and see them as nothing more than fellow prisoners of Samsara. I want them to live, I want them to be who they want to be, whatever they want to be and not think any less of them for wishing to simply exist, enjoy their lives, music, and a good meal, not think that "they'll come around to the dhamma sometime".

I feel nothing but hatred and disgust for myself. I fear death in my current state which only makes me hate myself more because I wish to be of those who love death and seek it, those who desire an end to this worldly life. I am lost and suffering engulfs me like a poisonous fog and desires like raging beasts prevent me from walking the path to redemption. Yet I have no right to find solace in this suffering or to pity myself for this pain, for my torture is caused only by me and in a way which is despicable and shameful in nature. There is no help in sight and I have nothing left but prayer, and yet even that has been taken from me by the filth which I have become. And because I hate myself so, I hate everyone else and because I am disgusted by myself I look at everyone and feel disgust and by doing so I have isolated myself, I am alone. I am alone and I will be until I have purified myself. But when? But how? I do not know. I do not know.

I keep seeing this statistic about millennials being the largest part of the workforce at 70 million but only having a paltry 4.5% of the total wealth. It is figures like these that destroy the myth that the system works but you just have to roll your sleeves up and work hard. Broad patterns of discrepancy like this point to underlying systematic causes unrelated to the ideology of "personal responsibility" and "work ethic" which reactionaries use to defend the system.

An analogy to childhood obesity can be made. A healthy society should not put children in a position where it is easy for them to become obese. Nor can we blame children for becoming obese. Children are not born into the world knowing that they have to be on guard about their eating habits or they could prematurely damage their health. Fat kids is a society problem. The expectation that they must be cautious about what they eat should not be placed on children, who naively trust that what is put before them is fit for consumption. It's the parent's responsibility. But more than the parent's it is society's responsibility; and the fact we have so much junk food aimed at kids is another example of "profit over people." There is a whole industry that preys on children's taste buds, marketing them sugar bomb cereal and candies and junk food which hijack the brain's reward centers. Thus children become obese before they even know what happened to them or before they had the opportunity to learn nutrition and that the food system is boobytrapped with various dietary dangers.

With young people and the workforce, a similar dynamic is in play. The entire economic system is rigged and boobytrapped to undermine them. Rather than being a frictionless process, navigating it is like tiptoeing through a mind field. Having your legs blown of for being forced marched through a mind field is not your fault, the mines should never have been planted.

So, given all that, I believe that my best chance of escape would be God. I was raised Catholic as I mentioned, and while the church as an institution has devalued itself over and over, I do believe there is something noble at its core and tradition, namely, love. Love is something that I believe in as dogmatically as Caths believe in the virgin birth of Jesus. I believe love is real, I believe it's the only thing worth striving for and the only valid motivation, be it for yourself or for others, I believe, that, if there is a God, it is love. Christianity and Catholicism have their own problems, metaphysically and as organized faiths, but if I could latch onto them I could, I think, endure everything and counter every argument with a faith as simple and healthy as can be. Is this hypocritical? Yes, I believe it is, and that's why I can't do it either, as much as I'd like to. It would be, as Camus said, philosophical suicide. I can't just defer to a God the responsibility of figuring things out for myself. I believe that I have to strive for something entirely of this world, something entirely of what I am and can experience being. Why? Because it's the only proposition that makes sense to me in the face of evidence, no matter how alluring others might seem. I'm not saying this with any conviction, I was shaking just a while ago. It's just something deep inside that refuses to let go, even if promised all suffering would cease if it did. It's not a self, call it a conviction that we can't defer to simple revelation or a set of pre made steps or a path toward proving that revelation right, and we have to live, as confusing and senseless as it might be.

So here I am, torn halfway between Absurdism with a possible Christian core (and I like Christianity, I think it offers a much better model for a moral and empathetic society than a sangha) and still tempted to accept the thesis that the world is vain and chase Nirvana, and maybe I always will be, but I can't give up just because I've always ignored my inner life and suddenly a religion seems to make sense. I know Buddhism isn't a "science of the mind" or any new age crap like that, I know it's a religious philosophy that's very varied but at its core proposes the same thing as all others, that we leave for someplace better. I cannot accept that giving up is the only option, both philosophically and empirically. I believe this world matters. I just want to finish my saying that I don't want to live fearing Buddhism (because that's what it's come to), or its postulates, I just want to be able to make sense of them as they really are, I want to be able to dismiss them as any other fundamentalism and just take what's good in them for my personal philosophy without needing to accept what I dislike. For that, in my view, is the only way I can live my life.

Sorry for the rant, I just need to type this and I feel slightly better for it already. Thanks to anyone that reads or cares to comment.

I think that the widespread usage of smartphones and social media is one of the biggest tragedies of the last decade and a bit.

>'Normies' have invaded the internet. Niche spaces like forums have collapsed to give way to Facebook groups

>Most messaging apps became social media
>Advertisers have unlimited ways to bombard you. Stealing your data to market to you harder
>Everyone is now on social media pushing their highlight reel and making others feel bad. Especially damaging to teenagers
>Most people addicted to phones and the internet
>It's 'weird' if you're not on social media
>Humans are not meant for this constant stream of data and emotion
>Dating apps widely used, incredibly difficult for the average man to get results (inb4 incel, I'm not)
>Watching my family members constantly binge watching Netflix, getting exposed to whatever ideas and trashy American culture that these shows spout

I don't want to carry a smartphone anymore. When I'm at home I leave it in another room. I'm trying to transition from carrying it in my pocket to in my backpack instead, when out and about.

I'm trying to get the fuck off social media, but it's so prevalent and I need it to be able to contact some people as well as an in person club that I am a part of (organising events and meet ups is hard when they don't use anything else).

I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with social media and smartphones, I just think that the jews peddle an ideology of "you should be this" so hard from the beginning, there is now an entire generation that have been indoctrinated. The ideology of love, self-worth, hedonism. Promoting the filth to the front page so everyone can see, then little kids start emulating them in hopes to be them. I believe this whole #blm #acab is proof of this. An ideology spread out so hard, people where inherently indoctrinated to believe in it. If you don't, well you're just wrong for being different.

Civilisation is a strange thing, yet it is something we can't really come back from. A lot of full fledged anarchists and anarcho-primitivists suggest a return to nature, but I find that position uncharitable to the concept of civilisation. It is important in this case to recognise the moral void that is present in nature that founds the crux of my argument. A good comparison to the immorality of nature would be that of a child: children are innocent, yet this means they are devoid of morality. This can be best evidenced when witnessing a small child torture insects for what they will admit is no reason at all. Nature is grand, and beautiful in ways that humanity could never truly replicate, but it is also unimaginably cruel and merciless. Among other things, humanity's sentimentality has been a strong seperating factor between us and other animals; we can get deeply invested in the specifics of the world, something that nature, forever concerned with the bigger picture, could never do.

For whatever reason, mankind has been given the ability to defy nature, which means that it is our obligation to therefore do our best to create something greater than nature, but that of course runs the risk of becoming worse than nature. We must create our own rules that reward those that do the right thing, and punish those who do the wrong thing. Nature is incapable of making such distinctions because survival is its utmost concern; the ends rather than the means. We are now capable of defying natural selection, and have been for some time. This shows both the good of humanity - our ability to recognise that life is sacred, and that even the weak and crippled deserve to live, and are even capable of providing for society in some ways (EG. Stephen Hawking) - and the worst side - there now lacks a necessity to maintain our fitness and health, because death is much more easily avoided, leading to increased obesity and worse general health as a result.

Though we ultimately have freed ourselves somewhat from the confines of the natural, we are still beholden to nature. Our behaviours and mannerisms are, to some extent, the products of thousands of generations of ancestors who honed their own survivability to a razor-sharp edge. Our instincts are still largely dominated in this matter. That said, I don't think this is a sign of defeat when it comes to defying nature. Imagine a garden. A garden has a very distinct nature to it: it is unnatural, as in it is created by a gardener. yet a garden is capable of a degree of coexistence and symbiosis with other lives in such a way that defies nature. With the right application of nutrients to the soil in the right balance, many crops from opposite sides of the world can live and thrive in an unnatural harmony. To me, civilisation - and all of man's efforts - can be explained in this metaphor of the garden. We use the tools of nature to create something that defies it, and is capable of being equal or greater than nature.

I've been through some traumatic shit.
Went through high school as the fat awkward gothic chick. After I graduated lost 125lbs so by 2013 I was happy with my body and got into the EDM scene. I took a synthetic mesclun and tripped for 2 weeks straight. I thought everyone was trying to kill me and make it look like a suicide. i ran through woods half dressed and barefoot. For a few days ambulances tried to take me to the hospital but I refused. One time I even stopped breathing and had to be revived. About 4 days in I got arrested and they stripped me of my clothes and chained me in a restraint chair. I thought I had been captured by demons and believed I had the strength to bust through the chains... I still have a scar from where the cuffs around my ankle broke the skin so bad because I thought I had the power to break free. So the whole time I am tripping haven't ate since I took the drug and barely drank. I have such bad trauma that sometimes even mentioning some words give me flashbacks. Tried to an hero in my cell when I finally got out of the holding cell so they shipped me off to the loony bin. I was told I couldn't leave unless I took the meds. Then spent the next 4 years being pumped with antipsychotics

The right says individuals are to blame for their own social standing. The left says it's systematic. The real answer is somewhere in between. But even small island nations that are isolated from global corruption experience local corruption. So it's not the global stage that is corrupting everything. It's the individual. The individual has to learn something to create a system of non-corrupt justice. The individual frees himself when he frees society. But man likes to be beholden to the system. They need something more powerful than them to depend on.

I am actually going to take over the world. I have been planning this for roughly ten years and have lost little motivation to do it. I have little wealth or connections, but in my Great Man studies I found cases that match my condition. What is my motivation, you may ask? To become wealthy? To do evil? To unify the world under a single state? In my case, I need to have unilateral power strong enough to splinter the human race into two groups: one I will lead to master the cosmos as enlightened beings, and the other I will leave to its own devices. It sounds improbable--but if there is even a nonzero probability of actualizing the right path, and I will myself down that path, I believe I can do it. At the worst, I will simply assure the survival of the human race and wait for it to collectively evolve into enlightened consciousness.

On tumblr I saw a girl who was posting pictures of flowers next to sexualized pictures of herself. She posted a insta-filter picture of a rupi poem with a rose on the book. She was posting vain,
ideal angle-lighting-hair-etc. selfies.

My issue with this is that Rupi writes about acceptance of one's own body and flaws. This girl is posting her vain selfies right next to the poem, inflating her self worth artificially, running from her flaws. Posting innocent things like flowers, a thing that children find beauty in, next to pictures of herself half naked. It's vain of myself to imply I'm better, vain of myself to make this post in the first place. I'm stuck in a juvenile loop of fake self awareness, trying to prove to myself I have a functioning brain.

There's no denying that. What's alarming is the massive disparity. 4.5%? 20 or at least 30 precent seems reasonable.
And it is not about money earned through labor. Most of that wealth is tied to assets, real estate, equities, etc. Money you earn from labor accumulates linearly, not exponentially. Inflation in real estate value and stocks, when boomers own all the land and stocks, is where the problem is. It's very difficult for wage earners to break into these appreciating forms of value that are the true source of wealth.

>done what those generations before you did?
The whole point is that it's harder to do that now, much more so than in the past. It's much harder to do what those generations were able to do because of structural changes in the economy.

It's really not hard to understand. Real estate value has inflated tremendously since 1970 while wages have stagnated and haven't kept up with inflation. In 1950 the average income would allow you to buy a home, not so any more.
Even those "affordable suburbs" are barely affordable for someone making a median income. All that is left are shacks in the everglades.

Also, companies nowadays want to take on as minimum responsibility for their employees as possible, gig economy jobs that don't have 401ks etc. It's rarer to find one company that you can work at consistently and rise up the ranks. Younger people tend to go from job to job without any security.

There's tons of data on this that you can look up.

I just read a terrifying article (on Bloomberg, not Infowars) that water futures are going to start being traded on Wall Street because of concerns about water scarcity.

Two billion people on earth already experience water insecurity, and--get this--some predictions estimate that in just four years 2/3rds of the entire planet will.

Without water everything collapses, civilization ends. Earth becomes Mars.

And the sick irony of it all is of course that the earth is mostly covered in water, but it's all mixed with salt. Secondly 90% of the earth's fresh water, more than is frozen in glaciers in Antartica which are falling into the ocean in chunks the size of British isles and then melting and becoming unusable.

It is not entirely crazy to conceive freshwater ice mining operations. Huge amounts of energy and capital are invested in extracting oil in extreme parts of the world and shipping them in tankers, so it can be done with glacial ice.

Mark my words, there may come a time when glacial ice mining becomes a major industry out of necessity. Obviously it would pose unique challenges but if there is no more portable water there is no future.

That kind of prediction improves the market.
>And the sick irony of it all is of course that the earth is mostly covered in water, but it's all mixed with salt.
No, the sick irony is that water mismanagement is what causes this to become a market. Ask yourself why Phoenix Arizona happens to start existing when Mexico started having rivers run dry. If you want a sick irony, Phoenix is looking into desalination to improve its water supply, because that seemed reasonable after diverting three major rivers turned out to not be sustainable.
>It is not entirely crazy to conceive freshwater ice mining operations. Huge amounts of energy and capital are invested in extracting oil in extreme parts of the world and shipping them in tankers, so it can be done with glacial ice.
There used be empires built on ice. Transporting it from colder regions to warmer ones before the invention of refrigeration, or the underground production of storage of ice, literally made people gilded age rich. Frederic Tudor in Boston and Charles Morse in NY both made fortunes selling ice, internationally and to the point of monopoly. It's not hard to imagine because it was literally a gigantic scandal about 110 years ago. Bear in mind that is something so rapacious it scandalised people who were okay with the Rockefellers.

I am charismatic and acquinated with many people, but all of those relationships were shallow and now that I feel a bigger potential with these people, and I really do, I don't know how to achieve it....

Not to mention some of those friends know each other much longer than they know me so I often feel like a third wheel - and it's difficult to initiate meaningful interactions (this online shit contributes nothing) because of the lockdown.

And also, since I'm already telling everything, it kills even more motivation to try and improve our friendship when the attempt fails because of mentioned reasons.

All right, hear me out. I catch my poop in my hand with a piece of toilet paper, and so should you. There are several very logical reasons why.

Firstly, If you do it like that, nobody outside will be able to hear your shit dropping in the loo. If you think about it, there's often a fairly audible splash, or slap in the event it hits the side. Which brings me to point two; if you catch your shit, it minimizes the risk of getting stuck to the porcelain. That way you will not need to clean it up, and you minimize the risk of embarrassing yourself if someone else sees it. Lastly, and by god most importantly, if you catch your log, it virtually eliminates the risk of toilet water splashing back up inside your anus. It is a thoroughly unpleasant experience to have that happen. Putting some paper down is not necessarily a guaranteed preventative measure.

Shit-catching is the ultimate pooping technique; the final frontier of excretion.

Been reading about how unaccountable credit agencies use algorithms that collect data on everything about you to determine your worthiness as a human being. The difference between America and China is that in the former a private company, with massive and unjustified sociopolitical power but no guns, decides your fate while in China it's the government with guns.

We're ceding our agency and futures to mindless, unreasoning algorithms. Creeping algorithmic totalitarianism is a massive threat to freedom and the human spirit. Ted was right.

Aye, love. Love! Even as man, great Talos cherished us. For he saw in us, in each of us, the future of Skyrim! The future of Tamriel!
And there it is, friends! The ugly truth! We are the children of man! Talos is the true god of man! Ascended from flesh, to rule the realm of spirit!
The very idea is inconceivable to our Elven overlords! Sharing the heavens with us? With man? Ha! They can barely tolerate our presence on earth!
Today, they take away your faith. But what of tomorrow? What then? Do the elves take your homes? Your businesses? Your children? Your very lives?
And what does the Empire do? Nothing! Nay, worse than nothing! The Imperial machine enforces the will of the Thalmor! Against its own people!
So rise up! Rise up, children of the Empire! Rise up, Stormcloaks! Embrace the word of mighty Talos, he who is both man and Divine!
For we are the children of man! And we shall inherit both the heavens and the earth! And we, not the Elves or their toadies, will rule Skyrim! Forever!

I think like the sole reason I yearn for a societal collapse is to have the media stripped from humanity. 24/7 access to news from around the world has done more harm to us in these past few years than anything else and I feel like its only going to get worse. I don't care what some Arab did to some Austrians or what some Southeast Asian dictator is doing right now, I just want to know my local weather and news from my community. Just the knowledge that bad shit is happening everywhere and theres little you can do about it has ruined us mentally. The human mind struggles to cope when tragedies happen in your immediate area, just think about what the knowledge of multiple tragedies, happening daily around the world is doing to our minds? And what can we do? Isolate ourselves physically and grow distant from friends and family? Or isolate ourselves mentally and destroy our own emotions. What can be done?

I'm starting to come to terms with the fact that I'm a hack who has never actually done anything in life other than the bare minimum required of me.
Is this growing up?
The actual process of growing up?
Is this the bottom, the square one and the only way is up from now on? I don't want to make an effort, though. I never wanted to do that. Doing the bare minimum gives me praise from my peers, but I still feel like I'm wasting what little potential I have. I want to disassociate from everything, but it would just be a cope. Why does my brain give me the same dopamine kick just thinking about doing something instead of actually doing it?

I feel like my mind is deteriorating slowly, but also increasing in sheer power. I feel less intelligent, but also smarter. It's a strange feeling. English is not my first language, but my native language's vocabulary and grammar are so similar to English that I keep making mistakes when writing English. Or is that just something I'm telling myself? It's weird that I only recently started being insecure about my English skills.

I ignore whether it is me or humanity as a whole, but we may have never been meant to be happy. Not truly happy, at least. There are forces outside our control dedicated to ensure that our stay on this Earth will not leave us unscathed.
I have no room to complain, I truly don't. I have never been abused or neglected, I have never gone to bed hungry, nor have I feared for my life. I haven't even been accosted with shame or distress because of the actions of others. I have absolutely everything in my favor to be happy, and still I can't quite reach that state of being.
My brain conspires against me, throws intrusive thoughts my way that keep me awake at night and restless during the day. Whenever I take enjoyment in something, be it writing, reading, to watching fucking anime, there's something out there trying to ruin my experience.
I have never experienced serious health issues; it is all in my mind. My mind torments me when it doesn't need to; all of my misery is self inflicted. It is as though I recognized I should be carefree and happy, but I cannot be because my mind won't let me.
All I wanted was some peace of mind, to wrap myself in my own thoughts and be left alone, but even my own meditations have turned against me.
Why does this need to happen? Why did I have to be born this way?

I remember reading "Berenice", by Edgar Allan Poe, and the way he described his main character's path into obsession felt eerily familiar.

i believe the physical affects the mental more so than anything else. Your diet and physical exertion is more important than anything else for your mental well being. when your food intake is clean your gut functions as it should, and your mind is on a leash to your stomach. Physical exertion is the best way to remove the bad thoughts, and you must exert yourself harder and harder because your mind will grow accustomed to the exertion and will not release endorphins for the same effort that you put in a year ago.

I also cant tell if i want someone to beat me and spit on me or just hold me and tell me everything will be ok. Yet wierdly, wierdly, wierdly I dont even really care that this schism exists. Im glad Im at this point in my life, having left home, left my previous place of existence and thus, my previous life behind to begin anew. I have such a small, close-knit group of loving friends around me. I really love living right now. Godspeed anons, because it gets better out there for you. You just have to learn to love the vast nothing of the cosmos, and find comfort in the thought that maybe, maybe, you dont exist for a reason but you still exist, and thats the important thing You exist and because you do you can make other peoples lives better. I love you all (no homo) and godspeed.

You can buy it no problem on Amazon (if you're American at least). Just make sure whatever you get has ONLY DXM as the active ingredient. Other ingredients, notably acetaminophen, can seriously fuck you up. Also, I'd highly suggest reading this before tripping.

The search on Apple Music pisses me off sometimes. I searched for this and got pages of classical music compilations, so I figured they didn't have it. Then I searched for one artist off it, and it immediately came up as the first result. Tim Cook fix your shit!

I could maybe make my peace with the horror of the natural world, which is completely amoral and can't be judged by human standards if I could be certain I am an independent agent. I don't care if it's just the spark of consciousness, a soul, a kind of meta awareness (being aware that you're aware) whatever. If I can believe or be convinced of this somehow, that human lives are in a sense, real, I feel like I can take on the world and live, despite all the suffering.

10. Fake fetish no one actually has except old swingers and lifestyle single cookers. Turn back. Do not indulge at all. Willpower man. Nothing will ever ever ever be what the fantasy tells you it could be. Even if it was real you wouldn’t want the reality for a hundred reasons. It’s like you’re considering getting addicted to a form of meth that is just as destructive but more addictive and only gives you the high of cigarettes. Even within the world of drug use that’s a deal no one would take.

I’ve literally had zero friends since elementary school and have never formed a substantial connection with anyone outside of my immediate family. I’m pretty sure because I spent my formative years completely in isolation my sense of loneliness literally broke. I felt lonely throughout middle school but by the time I got to high school the emotion was literally gone. Now, when I talk to people I can enjoy it, and even if I find a person interesting and we “click”, when I go home I feel as though I wouldn’t care if I ever saw them again. The desire to socialize is absent in me, but I guess if it’s presented right in front of me it’s sort of fun.
I remember doing shrooms and I “remembered” what loneliness felt like, and this lasted for a few weeks before dispersing, so I know I’m not just overthinking it.
But yeah, if you had meaningful relationships during your adolescence and suddenly lack any at all in adult, you’re essentially fucked. I’m sort of glad I went through my entire puberty and teenage years so that I’m completely comfortable in isolation.

This one isn't at bump limit, and even if it were, it's still on the catalog. If you ever want to know why the front page of /lit/ is shit, you're part of the reason why. You're also most likely to refresh at a rate which is both pointless and self frustrating. Maybe work on that by reading a book and posting about books, instead of engaging in compulsive behaviour designed to dig the social void you're in deeper while pretending it's getting shallower.
