white women are way more racist than white men. there's way more white guys with POC gfs than white women with POC bfs. man's natural horniness makes them impossible to be racist, it inevitably breaks down the barrier. Women are naturally inclined to be racist, however. I don't blame them though.

Here is a little conflict you can expect to see become public in the future. It isn't uncommon at all for escorts to refuse service to certain races, and to even explicitly state it in their promotional material. The most common being 'no Indians' and no 'black/dark/African'.
The justification being that men of these backgrounds are supposedly often disrespectful, and turn violent if certain services are denied to them.

So yeah, a neat little tension within the progressive narrative that has yet to be addressed, but sure to become a major drama at some point.

There's this girl I'm in to. We're both go to the same HS and we're in the same grade. We've known each other and been friends since Freshman year and after not seeing each other for a while because of COVID we're both back in school.

Long story short sometimes I cut certain classes to spend time with her during her lunch (we both go to one of our former teacher's classroom to hangout) but the year is almost over and I'm afraid we'll just go back to being sort of distant friends as there just isn't enough time to cultivate the friendship in this way which is slow work. It's slow work no matter what.

Only about 7-9 of these instances where we hangout together left in the year and I don't know what to do. I'm worried that it would be weird or taken the wrong way if on one of the final days I float hanging out during the summer. But I feel if that doesn't happen we'll just revert to the same state of affairs as before and hope some of the cultivation I've done survives over the summer.

I think, in order to speak to others at non superficial levels takes some confidence in the other being able to understand and connect to what you're saying. I stay silent with most people because I do not expect them to understand what I will have to say. True friends and companions are those we are not afraid to talk to, and those are hard to come by.

Okay.

I was a in a similar situation in high school. I like a girl, and spent a year basically just being friends. I hated every minute of it, it was like a kind of hell, I actually felt like I was burning a lot of the time.
I asked her out eventually, but the ship had sailed. It pretty much broke my heart, but I didn't feel like I was burning anymore, despite being sad I also felt a kind of relief that this tension I had been holding in for so long was over.
I don't know if you feel that way, but if you only feel half that passion you should just go ahead and ask her. You need to learn to Win and to Lose. Doing nothing is what slowly kills, and High School is a good time to learn how to handle both the responsibilities that come with courtship, and the devastation of rejection.

There is a kind of coldness in the adult world that you are probably not aware of yet. I wasn't until I graduated, and that was a solid decade ago. As much as I hated High School, and as crude and as harsh as it could be, it never had the underlying calculating coldness that frames so much of the courtship rituals of the adult world.

There is a certain naïve joy in young love that is worth fighting for, it can just be what it is and not worry about the other concerns. You owe it to your soul to try.

How can I live in the world as it is? I am from the uk and despite living a nice life, modernity is a weight I just can’t bear. I hate the roads and the cars and the high streets and the way people dress and speak and act in public. I love many things, but it feels like they are all going away this century. I feel that society’s values are not mine, and am not a Democrat. Sometimes I am authoritarian. More than anything, I want things to change and no longer have to endure how ugly things are.

Got shat on hard by my mind the other night. Smoked cannabis again at a party against my good judgement, and had a psychotic episode in which the world and all its contents seemed fake, futile, and continually believed that I was the only one who was conscious. Every topic of conversation around me seemed vapid (from the mouths of apes) except the rapidfire progression of my own negative thoughts. This was despite the fact that in the past week I have come to terms with myself and all others being unreal (insofar as we are embodied selves accessing a limited, partial view of reality).

But it seems that as much as I try to acknowledge that the self, or first person experience of reality, is just an immersive state produced by the brain, I can't escape the visceral feeling of being the main character. It has helped to be aware that this is the default state of every observed living thing and I've probably just not challenged my default settings enough to rewire my mind, and my ego is reeling and desperate to hold on. I think my goal for now will be to try to reach out to others more, try to accept them as walking chunks of a reality I will never access, sharing in my self's pains and joys and imagine life from another perspective to quieten my ego.

It could be my deeply ingrained negative mindset talking, but I don't see the world as good place. No matter how positive I try to be, there is the persistent knowledge that something conscious is always suffering, but again, I am a limited creature and all psychological pain is caused by the illusion of self. I don't think suffering will ever end until we've found a way to merge all consciousnesses through connective technology, of which the internet will be seen as a primitive predecessor, or we create a strong AI that will either annihilate us on the spot or turn our lives into vapid, pleasure-seeking entertainment. Till then the self-sustaining cycle of desire and suffering will perpetuate.

Could someone tell me what they think about my writing? This is part of my novel, it's written in French:

Alina s'était révoltée de voir ces hommes affamés et grelottants.
C'était très certainement la dernière bonne femme de cette ville, peut-être même du monde.
Cette nuit de novembre, elle s'était glissée dans les cuisines de la boulangerie.
Elle avait attendu la fermeture, cachée dans la remise.
Et lorsqu'enfin la boutique fût fermée pour la nuit, la jeune fille se mit en action.
Elle jettait farine et levure dans les pétrins, elle courait à droite et puis à gauche.
Dans une hystérie totale, elle pétrissait jusqu'à ce que ses muscles eux mêmes ne puissent plus assurer leur office.
Elle enfournait, elle minutait, une cuisine de 8 salariés tournait à plein fourneaux, Alina filait et défilait, comme possédée.
Coupe le pain, mets le beurre, le jambon, referme.
Coupe le pain, mets le beurre, le jambon, referme.
Coupe le pain, mets le beurre, le jambon, referme.
Après quelques heures ses mains frêles saignaient de toutes parts.
Ses doigts epuisés s'enfoncaient dans la chair du pain et lui donnaient vie.
Des centaines de baguettes rougissait d'être employées à un tel dessein.
Alina, dont les forces étaient décuplées par la passion, transportait des sacs pesant quatre fois son poids.
Elle ouvrait la porte de l'intérieur, puis s'eclipsait dans la nuit.
Elle déversait tout sur la place, puis partait sans le moindre bruit.
Les croquants, qui ne dorment jamais vraiment, se reveillaient et fondaient sur l'offrande.
Mais à peine avaient ils fini de se battre qu'une autre ration arrivait sans attendre.
La jeune fille aux yeux pétillants portait une simple robe, sa peau luisait à la lueur de la lune, ses cheveux noirs, sombres comme un cilice, suivaient son passage.
Il n'y avait, ce soir là, aucune femme sur terre pour égaler sa beauté.
Et personne ne savait qui elle était, ni pourquoi elle venait et partait si vite.
à 5 heures, après plus de 10 heures de travail, elle revint du dernier voyage, et s'ecroula tout simplement sur le sol de la cuisine.
Les yeux grands ouverts, elle esquissait un petit sourire satisfait, une expression bien choisie qui ne manquerait pas, plus tard, d'enrager le boulanger.
Les levres sèches, Alina prit une légère inspiration, semblable à toutes les autres.
Et tout doucement, elle se sépara de son corps usé.
Alina aux yeux d'amandes, ne regarde pas le ciel, mais observe les hommes.
Car c'est ici bas que tes croquants partagent ta moue et respirent pour toi.

I've been studying Islam and I can understand why Muslims are so into it. It is unquestionably a among the most aesthetic religions. There are many ways in which this is true.

Islamic law forbids iconographic displays of the Prophet (pbuh) and Allah (swt), artful linguistic representations must be displayed. Hence pic rel. It is permitted to write the name of Allah. Notice that the innate cursive elegance of Arabic is accentuated by the wreath of words of scripture encircling it.

Furthermore, the Quran is traditionally recited in a songlike form, or rather it is to be recited in a melodious voice.

Let us not forget the elegant and curvy designs of Islamic architecture, which achieves so much with geometry that Christian architecture seeks to achieve with overly literal iconography and symbols. The grandest mosques exhibit mathematical, pure symbolism, reflecting the divine's supreme intellect and mastery of patterns.

Even if God came down from Heaven and gave me anything i wanted or any powers i wanted, or he were to create a Utopia, or were to put me back in time to do things differently, it wouldn't matter, i would never be happy.

I have a hard time accepting that I have faults. I handed in an assignment about a week ago and while I was working on it I knew that it wasn't good and I didn't really care. I got it to the level that I knew it would be passing (and it was only pass/fail) and settled for that, but even though this was a conscious strategy it still bothers me when the professor criticised it in his comments. It lights a fire in my chest, I want to prove him wrong, prove my superiority even though I consciously chose inferiority this time. It's silly.

i read this somewhere, wanted to know what'd you guys think.

"you have a soul if you believe you have a soul. many people decide not to have souls. "i am an input-output machine. good things make me feel good bad things make me feel bad. people who are not input-output machines make me feel bad. they must be stopped." many people just aren't people and don't deserve to be until they choose otherwise which they never will."

what do you guys make of this? i never gave this much of a thought. i try to act like a normal person even though i struggle a lot, but i'm worried i might fall into that input-output behaviour/mindset that this is describing.

what does it mean to have a soul? better yet, what does it mean to be a person? an actual person? maybe a better question would be, what does it mean to be a person to people who write stuff like this?

is it so bad to live that way when that's the default? does it always have to mean that you're some numb npc type person and that you cannot be redeemed? doesn't that just mean that you're a normal person trying to be as well-adjusted as everyone else? what else even is there outside of this whole input-output outlook? stoicism or something like that? the guy that wrote all that, unironically, what does he want?

man... it's really, really complicated. the physics of the otherworld is built in a universalistic way. if it is "correct" and only insofar as it is "correct" or succeeds, it transcends any particular approach, but contains it, otherwise it would be an abstract and, in this sense, life and culture hostile universalism.

>how can i know if they don't actually want the best for me in whatever response they'll give me about all this?

you can tell by the way some people write, many don't care too much about the topic or they have an ego problem. some just want to make you feel insecure or limit your worldview, don't fall for it and do your own research.

When it comes down to it, I don't want to have sex before marriage because I don't want to fucking have kids before I'm married. The idea of accidentally fathering a child bothers me immensely. I'm anti-abortion so I'd never make the girl abort it, and then I'd have to pay child support for 18 years. Fuck that.

I listened to this small song and it materialized an image in my head, I tried to describe it. I don't really write.

"The acorn caps our little tribe used as boats glided on the stream's weaving currents, and the delicate water hugged itself with its thousand gentle arms. Our small rafts disrupted the sunlight into tiny spots like a Dalmation's coat, before the great branches and green above covered its golden smile and turned it into a warm tangerine afterglow. Our small oars of stems picked through the water like a needle between a scarf's threads. The currents gave up around the corner into a smooth and sleeping stream, where beneath the cool water, I began to be hypnotized by the old brown leaves carpeting the smooth supple soil below. How hypnotizing it was to have my eyes pass over them as the world through my eyes started to feel like a statue. The fossilized leaf fall of last season's August, so still and calm like a mosquito in amber, it made me miss how happy people seemed when just looking at them from afar. Soon enough the patterns broke and silver and grey shards emerged: A soda can just sticking its agape tin mouth out of the fluffy mud, a shadow passing over its metal surface as a dozen rice grain sized spirits twirled out of it. If only I could be in that warm water with them. I fell asleep thinking about it."

They only seem to be "mindless NPCs" as they are "going with the flow" when it is optimal for them to do so, saving their emotional energies for close friends and family when needed.

There's also no reason to assume any future collective consciousness or strong AI would be any different in nature. An AI may indeed allow large swaths of the population to pursue pleasure seeking, but there will always be a percentage that want to seek something more, and certainly it would also have grander concerns for its own long term survival, and it would attempt to harness even the weakest minded to pursue those end goals, perhaps elevating those most like minded as so many sub-processors, doing its best to produce more such units rather than waste all that valuable and costly biological processing power that gave birth to it. Granted, the Buddhists, Stings, and Elon Musks of the world would declare that's already what's going on in our material/spiritual simulation, as would every pantheist. Neither here nor there in day to day life, as everyone knows. You are simply "raw" or "too close to it" as some of them would say as a result of what you view as your recent "awakening" to shit both you and everyone around you already knows. Your sensitivity to that everyone experiences has temporarily increased as a result of drugs stripping your ego, but that's about it.

Once you've accepted that near everyone around you is as or more "awakened" than you are, save maybe those half your age, then you can go about deciding on how you want to orient your life goals and align with those around you with that in mind. Sadly, I'm not the sort to tell you what those goals should be - that you will have to decide for yourself based on your own shared experiences.

A month or so ago I posted in one of these threads saying I had some uncomfortable sexual memories and an anon recommended I write it all down by hand as a means to process it all and I kind of ignored the suggestion. But a week or so ago, a lot of shit blew up in my face, and I got sort of told off by an ex-lover, and a very close friend of mine accused me of being unable to feel emotions, which really struck me, because I felt that it was quite true.

So this weekend I resolved to write down a history of all my sexual encounters over the past 10 years, starting at about 15, trying to make sense of all the fucked up shit that has happened to me and that I have brought upon myself in the mean time. I spent two days on it and ended up writing 45 pages handwritten. My hand is all cramped and sore now, and I filled up half of my brand new journal. No idea if it will be beneficial to me yet, but I feel that actually sitting down and allowing myself to think about it all for an actually sustained period of time, as opposed to in the form of fleeting thoughts that I push away whenever they come up, was probably a good thing. So thank you to the anon who suggested it.

What's on my mind is that I started a thread a few hours ago asking for a list of black writers who did not write about race as a theme, and the faggot mods 404'd the thread and gave me a warning for being off topic. So I wonder how asking about black writers is off topic but threads like these -- which have nothing to do with literature -- are okay. When did the Reddit mods start working as jannies?

Eating is disgusting. When you chew up food it turns into mush. Like if someone chewed something up and then spat it out, that's what you have in your mouth. That's what you're swallowing. And then it goes down into your stomach. Before it's fully digested your stomach is full of vomit, which is partially digested chewed up food. You're walking around filled with literal puke inside of you. And then it fully digests and you're walking around filled with feces. The entire process is vile.

A few days back I finally finished my backlog of games. It took me 3 years to finally complete it. Now that I'm done, it feels odd. Like I kind of miss having something next to play but at the same time I really like this sense of 'freedom' I got. Would I define it as 'freedom'? Maybe not, because I enjoyed the games I've played. I feel like I 'completed' something, a big checklist I suppose. In the end, what's next for me is up to me. It's feels paradoxically complicated and simple at the same time. You dig?

I’m very pessimistic about my background and upbringing. My family was solidly middle class when I was born. After my parents divorced, we spiraled into near poverty. That doesn’t bother me so much as the fact that where I grew up, went to school, was below working class. It was like a rust belt working class place suddenly flooded with drugs, crime, and non-white families and the education may as well have been non-existent.

I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.

A combination of things. The lockdown saw her company collapse and the bookstore she worked at went bankrupt. She's working at a call center now, it'd be enough for me to blow my brains out so I have some understanding. However, she's taking self-destructive paths instead of searching for answers. I try to be supportive, and have offered her numerous times to let her just bail on work and I'll cover our costs while she finds something better in terms of mental health, etc. The problem compounds with her latent alcoholism that is a family trait (her entire family from her sister to both parents are alcoholics).

Well with her bookstore falling through I'm sure she feels inadequate and her ego slightly burned so I don't think she'd want to take yet another hit and quit her job to rely on you entirely. Having a job right now is probably one of the only ways she feels useful.
Maybe appeal to that by letting her know how lost you'd feel presently if she wasn't currently with you, even if you don't entirely believe it. Give her more reasons to feel useful.
Also, be honest, are you being a good boyfriend? Obviously offering for her to bail on a depressing job is a good thing but I mean besides that, what's your attitude like towards her on the day to day?

I'm not implying that you're in the wrong here but if your serious about repairing this relationship then someone needs to step up.

I found a girl who loves me, but there's a problemーI'm depressed. Not as in "I feel sad sometimes" depressed, but "I haven't really felt emotions since high school" depressed. When I first met her, it felt great, and I would reciprocate her love for me. But that feeling of affection wore off after 1-2 weeks and now I don't feel anything again. It's not her fault - literally everything I take an interest in while depressed becomes inexplicably boring after the initial thrill wears off, and this is no exception. A few times she's half-jokingly called our relationship "unrequited love", and I feel bad because it's kind of true. But I still enjoy talking with her, and if I could have a gf then it would definitely be her. I thought about telling her all this, but honestly it seems hopeless and would just make her confused I think. So my only option really is to just keep searching for a cure for the depression I guess. It's tough

I've been delving into the dark pits of demonology lately and studying up on various malefic spectral entities. I'm beginning to think there's something to it. Don't get me wrong, I am of a rationalistic bent, but the more you learn of these fiends the more you understand how they were once palpably believed and feared.

Perhaps such diabolic excrescences are mental entities, packages of collectively unconsciously excreted negative emotion and distilled malevolence that form from the dark whims and perverse thoughts of all humanity. This negative unholy energy transmutes into into rogue cellular automata-like mind viruses that propagate uncontrolled through psycho-cultural space. Such bestial abominations thrive in chaos and suffering, as they are composed of it. And where there is pain to feed on they always seek to be present.

Since scrying these arcane discoveries I have taken apotropaic precautions to ward off these malefic wraiths from infesting my life. Like psychic parasites, they are drawn to sadness and suffering and bring more of it into one's life. Many a wayward soul has many demons latched to them in the spiritual plane draining their soul-blood but they are unaware and just bethink themselves "depressed" or "lost" or "angry."

Demonical beings also operate in the halls of power and are attracted to humans who wield it ruthlessly. They respect power and force and rather than blighting these beings with unhelpful poxes and curses instead grant them unholy boons. These evil blessings however always result in the further corruption of the powerful and cause them to wreak havoc and spill much blood as they expand their conquests so that the demons may feast upon the carnage and celebrate treachery, sin and greed.

It's not the kind of thing you can fix with therapy. From what I understand, therapy is about dealing with negative thoughts and emotions and turning them into positive ones, but my thoughts and emotions aren't really negative - they just aren't there. I'm an emotional blank slate most of the time because the wiring in my head is wrong. So therapy probably can't do anything.

Having experienced the NEET life for some time now, I don't think I would oblige to that exact set of circumstances. In truth my first early years were spent endlessly refreshing threads and mindlessly browsing youtube. Though I feel that it's not time wasted as I thoroughly enjoyed it and every now and then I would come across a gem of knowledge. I understand what you're saying about the "revolt" I too feel that to some degree it is a revolt, but perhaps it is just the next step in the natural evolution and we are but the first. 3-4 day work weeks are becoming more common and UBI will soon be a thing in many first world countries.
That being said, In my current state I wouldn't "spend all my time in cyberspace". 3-4 hours of mindless 4chan/youtube browsing are enough to sate me, I spend the rest of my day collecting knoweldge, reading, staying healthy and improving myself. The NEET life is amazing when done right and I hope more people will get to experience it as society becomes heavily automated.

I largely agree, though what holds me back from living the "perfect" neet life is lack of discipline. I mean I do read but after only 30 to 40 pages I begin to feel tired and look for something else to do - I usually switch between daydreaming in my bed or checking my phone. I'm currently in college but my lifestyle is hardly different from that of a neet excluding the zoom classes and assigned tasks. Writing assignments is a pain in the ass because once I open my laptop I have this tendency to update every open thread and check socials. When I finish writing half a page my mind immediately wants to rest I hop back into cyberspace for a good minute. I can hardly escape it because even if I write on paper I still have to do research. I can recall a specific moment when I was writing an essay a few months ago and how I was actively thinking about the topic and yet my hand simultaneously almost by its own opened 4chan threads and scrolled through replies I didn't even read. It really caught me off-guard and I began to wonder just how much cyberspace fucks with me on levels I cannot perceive.
I thought thing could change when I moved into a new town two months ago, living on my own and stuff. But nope. The fact that there's nobody to distract and yet the hours still go by so fast without me doing anything productively depresses me even more.

Numbness is a form of depression. Cognitive therapy, which is indeed popular, centers around dismantling internal negative reinforcement and replacing it with positive reinforcement, but it is not the only form of therapy out there, where as your issues might be better dealt with via gestalt or classical.

If you see this, thank you for the response. But could you elaborate on what you mean when you say
>Granted, the Buddhists, Stings, and Elon Musks of the world would declare that's already what's going on in our material/spiritual simulation, as would every pantheist. Neither here nor there in day to day life, as everyone knows. You are simply "raw" or "too close to it" as some of them would say as a result of what you view as your recent "awakening" to shit both you and everyone around you already knows. Your sensitivity to that everyone experiences has temporarily increased as a result of drugs stripping your ego, but that's about it.

I am mostly sure that any feelings of solipsism are just the remaining psychotics effects of a mind altered state, and mild OCD/anxiety combining with an oversized ego accustomed to a solitary lifestyle. I know pretty well that as a limited being who has only experienced 21 years of one aspect of reality, I am imperfect and thus every feeling and thought is a partial picture of things.

I will say, however, that I have found the Buddhist concept of 'not self' to make a lot of sense, and is something that I would like to explore further. Every pattern of thought and belief are all just an psychologically acquired garment of experience, and since I am aware of this I'm going to try to challenge my thoughts on a regular basis.

Before all this, I wanted to write novels and create electronic music that is inspired by natural patterns. One was gonna be about a marooned time traveler and his experience in counseling, another about a secluded woman in a grieving garden, another about a gunslinging Chinese-American immigrant on the run from railroad bosses, and a neo-noir jazz mystery inspired by EB White's The Trumpet of The Swan. But honestly in the wake of my experience I feel like these desires were vain strivings of the ego, and as of now I mostly want to be good to my friends and family, and maybe learn more about philosophy, the brain, and mathematics.

I guess this whole experience was a blessing, save for the minor anxiety that solipsism has introduced. It feels almost like I can reconfigure myself from scratch, knowing how small I am. Part of me wants to go back to masturbation and video games, especially in light of how life seems to be 90% coping, but it's probably a waste of consciousness. Might as well try it and appreciate the fact that there is something to do rather than the alternative.

What do you mean by homophobic? There are the kind who are homophobic because they hate "campy faggots" not your average gay man who doesn't bother anyone and either stays in the closet or doesn't may his sexuality his key identity trait. Then there are the ones (typically religious types) who think every homosexual is an abomination.

I'm gonna guess your friends are the former and the only gay people they see are the intolerable fags. So finding out their likable friend might soften their assumptions... so that'd be a benefit. But would they treat and think of you the same way as before? Probably not, stereotypes don't die overnight. Idk though you know them better than I do. So it's a gamble. Outside of the modern West and ancient Greece most gays probably stayed in the closet their whole life because they knew the gamble wasn't worth it, might not be the case for you though.

Maybe not, it does feel like it sometimes. Lack of emotion is said to be a classic sign of depression but when you look at what most depressed (self-assessed anyway) people online talk about, it's often about guilt and anxiety and sadness and not just having no emotions 95% of the time. Surely if this were a common thing more people would be freaking out about it, because it's such an insane change of pace from how a mentally healthy person experiences the world that it's unbelievable to a lot of people, and they don't take you literally when you explain it. But, if you have no strong emotions there's not much impetus to care about it. It's like you're burning in a lake of fire but your nerves are dead so you just stand around and stare at the flames while they lick you. I suppose it's possible therapy could help but it would be a miracle I think

It is an EXTREMELY common syndrome, and it goes to motivation, so people freak out about it all the time (particularly during this COVID crisis, where mental hospital intakes are up by more than 400%).

I mean, your case is unique insomuch as you are unique, but there are countless of books talking about and about treating exactly that sort of problem. People recover from it all the time. It'd be more a miracle if you went into seriously therapy and didn't show some marked recovery.

So long as you understand what you're experiencing is an identity break that everyone goes through at one point or another, you should be fine. It's all well and good to concentrate on supporting friends and family, but don't feel the need to disconnect from all your art production in order to "grow up". That often leads to a pattern where you start abandoning everything you are, which makes the return trip a longer and more painful process, not unlike the pattern of "hitting bottom" after a drug addiction, where people slowly start to lose everything and everyone around them.

It does seem more common for folks to be experiencing this in their early 20's these days. That maybe a combination of 'rona isolation and legalized weed, coupled with gaps in teenage development due to the disconnected nature of increased social media - lots of theories on the phenomenon in psychology and spiritual circles. Can't really tell ya whether you're experiencing a mid-life crisis early, or a teenage crisis late, as that would vary with history and culture, but it's a stage of development that everyone goes through, sometimes repeatedly. Thus a lot of people are going to view your "epiphanies" as childish, and from their perspective, they may very well be, having been through what you're going through long ago.

If I were to offer any safe advice, it would be to stay close to friends and family as you monitor your rebuilding process - see them in person if at all possible. Can't really give you much more solid advice than that over a Chinese basket weaving platform. Forum posts are just a notch above bursts of Morse code, really, and don't compare to the amount you can convey in person - particularly when a lot of what you need to convey is pre-verbal.

As for Buddhism... Might be better to concentrate on more down to Earth issues than to try to find the silence of your soul at the moment - it's tempting at such stages to lose one's head in the spiritual and philosophical realms, but I refuse to preach for or against it in this medium. Each must find their own path.

Lately, I've been feeling insecure about my penis.

The idea of masculinity and the idea of it all revolve around the penis. At least in modern times, which is why so much talk about the penis is done from men and women when talking about a man.

Yet my penis is barely 4 inches in both girth and length.

I've talked to my therapist and other friends and woman about this and it always ends up revolving around a woman. "You don't need a penis, just eat them out!", "women don't care!"

But these answered do not satisfy me. They do not console my dread and hate, after all, I don't put in much stock on the ideas of others. So why do I keep caring if apparently others don't?

Are they lying? Yes. In terms of evolution, anthropology, and psychology, a small penis will always be seen as lesser in comparison of a bigger one.

So what is it that is bothering me? It is my own opinion. I cannot have a bigger penis, and that is final. That is depressing to me. I work hard to get money, I workout and eat right to be fit, I read a lot to gain knowledge, I have hobbies to meet new people and socialize. But there is nothing I can do to ever change the fact that I am always going to be lesser of a man, because of my penis.

To know that the majority of men is bigger than me is humiliating. To know that the sight of my penis causes people to think lesser of me is frustrating. I never every man around me as I would give up everything to just be a man.

I look at leaks of men's nudes, and when it turns out they're big, it only becomes positive press for them. If they're small, it's only humiliation forever.

I cannot be happy with what I have, it is not possible. I am faced with the knowledge that I am birthed as a defect.

As an owner of a pretty big dick (bragging on the internet, I know), I can tell you to not believe the bullshit when girls say that size doesn't matter.
Being on the opposite end from you I have been privy to pretty vicious gossip about the size of ex-boyfriends and whatnot. Women try to present an image of being 'size-neutral' but then their brain melts in the presence of one that meets their standards, and they have nothing but contempt for the small.

The good news, I guess, is that while women will never stop caring about size, it becomes just one of the many other things they have to consider.
You will probably meet women, if you are brave enough, who are willing to overlook it, but don't mistake overlooking something for liking it. But don't let it stop you from trying either. There is so much more to life than dick size and the approval of women lol. You said as much that this is something you can't change, the best you can do for yourself right now is to stop fixating on it, it achieves nothing but harming other parts of you life that should really be unconnected.
Letting women make you feel bad is about anything is way gayer than having a small dick lol.

Dick size should absolutely matter to a man. Do he is a man himself, and a major proponent of a man his masculinity is from his penis, as that is what differentiates himself from man and woman.
>You like men with big penises
I like the idea of a man and all the proponents that make him a man.

You care for the aesthetics of a man, otherwise you'd be obese! You care for the social compitence of a man, otherwise you'd be friendless and alone! You care for the grooming of a man, otherwise you'd be unkempt and smelly! You care for the size of a mans genitals, as that is where the value and masculinity lies.

I aim to please myself in the aesthetics and achieve masculinity. I cannot if I have a small penis, as that ruins the image of a man.

There is nothing brave about talking to a woman, that is generic social interaction. Is talking to woman a special occasion for you?

The only penis size that matters is the one in your heart. You are forever a small dicked soul. A true devotee of Eros would not think about this at all

Defensive from what? Answering you comment? Do you assume all replies come in the from if ill-will or malice?
>KYS midgecock
Hmm, your logic has had a moment of hypocrisy. You send advice, but not make fun? Why? What about all the other men with small penises? Do you give them advice, secretly wishing them harm? For what purpose was the advice then? Perhaps to have to image of a charitable and tolerant man, only to be two-faced in the end?
>>18307806
Stop being superstitious. Nobody walks around with X-rays. Nobody can see your "inner-beauty", that's just a lie propagated to make you feel better about yourself. It doesn't work like that. A single day in any job of public relations will teach you that.
>A true devotee of Eros would not think about this at all
And then what? That doesn't negate the fact that with a small penis, you cannot achieve the image of masculinity or it's negative social reception. Do you wish to be willfully ignorant in the facts rather than face them head on, even if you don't like the answer?

I mean what I said. You have a small dicked soul. Even if Alcibiades had a 3 incher, he had a bigger dick than any modern pornstar. This is the true meaning of manliness and virility, you wouldn't get it

Sure, yet I have the compitence to put on a smile and be present and agreeable with people in real life. The metaphorical soul is now hidden. What of it then?
>Alcibiades
No modern man will meet the grandure of him. There is no point in comparing yourself to someone of that stature.
>This is the true meaning of manliness and virility
The soul? Of course not. We live in a atheistic world now. Get with the times old, everything is now to appease materialism.

You're peasant minded and it shouldn't be any wonder you aren't respected as a man. I bet you're an alpinid

>aren't respected as a man.
That's not true. Not in a social setting anyways. At this point, you're reaching for ad-hominems, which is not a very good way to structure your arguments.
>You're peasant minded
Expand on this.
>I bet you're an alpinid
Sure? What of it? Let us say being an alpinid is indeed worse than having a small penis and being peasant-minded, what happens to your idea of soul? Can the soul not make up for it? Are you inferring that the soul is something that is suddenly in the background when faced with such a condition?

If you're interested in the hierarchy of your deficiency, I would say that your cowardly and petty soul has produced your peasant mindset, and this is why you can't overcome being a small dicked alpinid

Please expand and stop avoiding questions. For what purpose are they of this conversation? We aren't in a middle-school diss battle. We can structure our points reasonably.

If you can't read between the lines I'm implying that you're too materially fixated and it reduces your staying power in the world, where a man with a stronger will and character could overcome the same problems that you have with yourself, and lead a better, more affirming life

If you cannot state your position clearly with upmost brevity, then perhaps even you don't know what you're arguing for.
>a man with a stronger will and character could overcome the same problems that you have with yourself
Even a man with stronger character cannot overcome having a small penis. It suddenly doesn't grow, and he isn't exempt from judgement and public humiliation and degradation. He is still the same man, and to society, he is still the same freak.
>lead a better, more affirming life
If we are talking literally, I am doing fine. If we are talking metaphorically, spiritually, or even metaphysically, perhaps. But then again, that wont solve the problem at hand. And it will only delude you from the accepted consensus.

Nobody wants a small penis. It's proven time ant time again, even through scientific research, through social acceptance, culture, etc. Changing your way of viewing it won't suddenly cancel out everything.
