I have this recurring dream where I'll be back in high school. I'll just be going through the motions, whatever. Going to class, sitting at lunch. Then I'll be talking to someone. At some point the person will randomly ask my age and I'll suddenly realize that I'm much too old to be in high school. And everyone will say "anon, why are you still in high school, shouldn't you be graduated from university by now?"
I always wake up feeling like shit about myself.

Becoming socially alienated occured according to a trajectory over which I had no control. So many circumstances came together and fucked me over, again and again and again. Anytime I made any kind of progress something would come along and knock me down. And now I'm in a rut so deep and racked with so much regret and bitterness that I can never recover.

Don't say that sort of thing. The truth is you don't know. More is possible than you can imagine. Everyone is capable of more. Fatalism is no solution and it becomes a self-fullfilling prophecy.

For the past year I've been as active as I can be. Every free moment I put myself in a public setting. I've been to a couple bars, I go to cafes, I go to busy hiking trails, I go to parks, I go to malls and stores. I try to maximize being around people. I tried to sign up for volunteer but the city clerk laughed at me because I was genuinely volunteering instead of doing court mandated communuty service hours. She never sent me the email I needed, I'm sure deliberately. My job isnt social in nature. Its often solitary. Its actually been a huge burden on me because my employer often wastes my time. I need to get out of it but I'm stuck in it until we can finish a project I've been waiting on for 4 months
I try to go into public with my brother since he's a natural acquaintance but he's more fucked up than I am so his company has the opposite effect I want in social settings. I took a college class this summer and felt like a total fish out of water. Its been 2 and a half years since I was in college. All the kids were 18 and fresh out of high school.
As an ice breaker the professor asked us all what year we graduated. A lot of 2022 and 2021. Everyone gave me a funny look when I said 2017. The college cancelled the class anyway. Everything I'm trying is a dead end. I keep hitting wall after wall.
I just feel so far behind and I feel my only hope is to find someone just as stunted as I am. The only problem is stunted people like me are asocial shut ins, so encountering them is impossible.
My current hope is that returning to college in the Fall and getting a new job will open doors but it feels like an endless wait for those opportunities to begin.

Women LOVE talking about themselves. One of the greatest blessings in life is how easily you can get a woman to talk. Just ask her stuff, and she'll divulge everything going on in her life. And you don't have to really listen, just feign interest. They just go on and on about nothing and everything.

I never understood this when I was younger but now that I'm older I kind of get it, it's that their whole consciousness is structured differently from ours, so that "human interest" is endlessly interesting to them. For us, the terminus of any narrative or exchange of information is the "point," the telic center toward which the whole narrative should tend, even if it has some detours or stops to smell the roses along the way. For women, the entire world is one giant flower garden of roses, and all movement is merely from one rose to the next.

I think you should find a new job, yeah but I also think you should just let the burden lift off yourself. What use is there in not counting yourself among the crowd of fools? There isn’t any use. I know you feel socially isolated but I think what you really want is not alot of people around, but a handful of meaningful relationships. If that’s not always possible though, what is the best alternative? I don’t think it’s as many low quality social interactions as possible. Most of my social interaction comes from a small handful of coworkers, which I speak to only via computer, and my family these days. Yeah, it can be lonely sometimes but I don’t want to be a social butterfly either.

This is a call to action. It's time to start the third sexual revolution: the normalisation and proliferation of rape and forced marriage.

I honestly think Americans care so much about dick size because they're circumcised. Circumcisions completely disrupt the way PIV sex is supposed to work. I'm not downplaying size, it still matters but add on top of that a dick that creates nothing but rough friction and you have an unhappy women.

How would I realistically know what influence, power, or agency I have that is currently untapped?
It feels too good to be true. Like the Wizard of Oz: "oh you anon had the power all along..."
I mean primarily in interpersonal stuff. I absolutely detest the people who make vague statements about how people look up to you even if you don't know it. It's such self-indulgent trash, the worst thing is these people won't even put the effort into proving what influence I have on others. I mean if it's there, fair enough, but seriously I don't think anything I've said or done has had a meaningful impact on another human being.

One day I'll learn how to get direct answers to my questions.
There will come a day I'll ask for advice online, and when I get an irrelevant answer, I'll ask them "and how does this help me" they will say "it doesn't, I just wanted to help, sorry for wasting your time" and I'll thank them for their empathy. There will come a day, maybe sooner rather than later where I will ask a question about what the time is and the person will refrain from telling me how to build a watch. There will come a time when I will ask for a solution to the problem and some absolute asshole with bite their tongue and not tell me that water, sleep, and enough sun are the solution. There will come a time that if I ask a question, and my assumptions that lead me to ask the question in that way are wrong, someone will reply "I think I see the confusion here, you actually have it the wrong way round, because first you need to know the carrying capacity, with that information you can..."
One day I'll be talking to my future girlfriend and when she's upset about something instead of sighing and saying "I can't tell you what choices to make" she'll say "well I would like it if you..."

It is a case of "If this than that" vs "This and that". Ideally you should be able to switch between the two thoughtmodes.

>> No.20677330

>>20677272
It depends.

You can take the creative route and never dip your toes into any philosophy or theology. If it's purely internal, idealist expressive type stuff eventually you'll run out of ideas and methods to create better stuff. That's where philosophy and analytic study can be useful. There are fields where all the literary techniques are dissected, authors picked apart, helpful books on the history of the art subject. After awhile of studying logic and philosophy, it can really take a toll on your creativity if you don't force yourself to keep creating. Your standards might also rise to more impossible levels (happened to me), but it's all for the hope of overall improvement

tl;dr: Yeah it can make you uncreative. Being creative all the time can also make you uncreative. Either way you can go wrong, so just do your best and try not to get too absorbed in either route. I think ultimately the fun ends up dying a bit no matter which way you lean toward

On top of that they're making the claim that the only thing that (modern) women really appreciate in men is how good they fuck them. Other than that you are the simp provider and nothing more. I like to believe that at least some of the high IQ ones genuinely enjoy the company of interesting folk and have hobbies outside of sex but the mass majority would like nothing more than to be high on coke and fucked 23 hours out of the day.

Today I'm spending my free time in my shitty tiny apartment with broken AC and gnats that get in some fucking way and keep landing on my skin to roll around in my sweat.
I'm living here working for a boss who hates me, with peers who don't like working with me, and with subordinates who know I got my position through luck and failing upwards and who wouldn't trust me to lead them out of a paper bag. I make less money than I did flipping burgers when I was 17, not that it matters because I have no social life to speak of and no aspirations in life other than to stick around long enough for the invention of time travel to make it possible for me to prevent my own birth, and after paying my bills I just let my earnings rot uselessly in savings.
I've been going to the gym in hopes of anchoring myself to something in life, but my maxes are pathetically low and will remain so for the foreseeable future, along with my shitty flexibility and body coordination. I'm 5'8" with a face that looks maybe around average from one specific angle and getting ripped won't win me anything in the looks department but at least I'll feel better about myself if I get there. It'll give me some copium to help deal with being a kissless virgin who hasn't had a non-work-related conversation with a female in over 5 years.
My family doesn't say it out loud, but they find me to be pretty annoying when I visit home, so when I do I just shut myself in the basement all day. My sister acts like she's happy to see me but I know she isn't because I fucking molested her when I was a fucking retarded teenager and while she might have forgiven me, she hasn't forgotten and won't go into the same room as me by herself, which I don't blame her for at all.
I'm the sole cause of all my problems, and a burden on pretty much everyone I know. The friends I had in high school cut contact with me one day because I was a shit friend and bothersome to deal with. I don't blame them either. I do shitty retarded things and am too dumb to understand how to correct my behavior or make recompense for it.
Lately i've been thinking about Dumpstering everything I own, driving out to the middle of nowhere, and doming myself. I just want to disappear. I'm tired of who I am and I want it to be over. Too bad I'm a pussy who will make a post just like this 5 years from now, all things having remained unchanged.

Yeah, I think its possible. But I really dislike not being honest with your spouse (unless theyre an abuser). But I get that in the time period in this book, divorce wasn't really an option. So its sort of unfair for me to be bothered by it. Its weird when I see people say they relate to the story though. makes me feel bad for their wife. Also, not to be a christcuck, but infidelity is sort of a big deal. So I have a hard time seeing beauty in love that is explored by actively harming others. But I also have had a hard time enjoying stories with deeply flawed characters. I know thats what makes them human, but there comes a point where I feel like I have a hard time caring about them. And I know its stupid to dismiss a story because "muh MC not likeable" because theres a ton of fantastic stories that focus on shitty people. But shit like Wuthering Heights I could not enjoy because everyone was such a goddamn piece of shit. Also had a hard time enjoying Crime & Punishment, but once I accepted MC was severely mentally ill, the read got a lot easier. Am I brain damaged?

Affairs add a level of analysis that isn’t possible in a straight forward love story. Boy meets girl. They fall in love. An obstacle or two stands in their way but they win out in the end and live happily ever after. Meeting your true love in an unethical way raises more questions. In the Chekhov story, the MC was a philanderer before he met the woman, who completely changed his views and life around in a way he didn’t think was possible. They both love each other but are married to others. What now? At what point is true love worth it? If you meet a woman while married who makes you a better person and you experience something you never thought possible, would you be a fool to be disgraced in society to be happy?

You raise a good point. I do think the story didn't really endorse the affair as much as was plainly honest about their feelings and circumstance. That was nice to see. But I feel weird about the readers who praise the relationship. I see your point about complexity though. I don't find it necessarily interesting layer though because these days cheating is just another plot point in a C tier television drama. After finishing the short story, I was surprised by how familiar it felt. But it was probably one of the firsts of that type of story.

There is a difference between the Chekhov story and a soap opera on ABC Daytime though. The former is psychological. The latter is for shock or drama. As I’ve said it’s been a while since I’ve read it, but I remember it was packed with subtle undercurrents similar to Hemingway. The imagery would match up to feelings and so forth. I forget specifics though. Chekhov’s MC was a philanderer in a loveless marriage who didn’t care about his kids. He cared how society viewed him. After meeting the woman he became open to being disgraced in society to find true happiness. He became a better man after the affair which isn’t something you usually see in a tv show unless it’s one of those “saw the light” trope and go back to the wife

Baneposting is the only thing that makes me laugh nowadays. I don't know what's about it that's so funny. It's just the literal repetition of a dumb scene. Yet I find this interesting, in a literary/textual analysis sense.

There is probably something to be looked into here as far as theories of meaning and semiotics go. The ceaseless repetition in satirical tone has imparted a meaning upon the whole sequence that's completely different from the author's intent and has, at least among the too-online people, supplanted such intent.

Like Hemingway, Chekhov gets better and better on rereads. Lady with the Dog is only 15 pages or so. You should read it again as a character study for the MC and to a lesser extent the woman. Pay attention to how the MC behaves and what he values before he meets the woman. Pay attention to the imagery. It is a psychological story as much as it is a love story. I love Chekhov and keep telling myself I’ll reread him again but I always put it off. As far as Hemingway goes I would recommend Soldier’s Home and Big Two Hearted River. Both about life after the war. IMO Hemingway is the master of crafting a short story with massive depth. Every word is carefully chosen. Also pretty much every short story he wrote is okay at the minimum. I’ve read more Hemingway than pretty much any author and he is easily in my top 5

There are two types of Hemingway readers:surface level, and those who see what he was going for. I hated him at first but something clicked after 3 or 4 stories and I saw the light. I love how Big Teo Hearted River is about PTSD but the war is never mentioned. On the surface it’s a comfy camping story. Trust me, Hemingway gets very high praise for his short stories. After Hemingway, short story writers either imitated him, or purposely diverged from him. He was a game changer. I love the short story as a format. The writer’s style shines through more. I think a great short story is better crafted than a great novel. Don’t be ashamed to look up analysis online after reading a Hemingway story. There is much that isn’t evident at first

honestly I feel like a brainlet reading any short story. I read Dubliners and thought each story was neat. Then I read the sparknotes analysis after and was like "fuck, I missed all this?" The same with Raymond Carver's "What we talk about when we talk about love" short story collection. Although after a while I got a bit better at picking up on subtle symbolism. The only issue is I'm fucked when it comes to contemporary short stories. I subscribe to a few lit magazines (paris review, ploughshares) just so I can space out reading of classic lit with some newer short stories. But that means fuck all shows up on google if I couldnt pick up on some of the themes. Makes me feel like my brain hasnt evolved after all. Sad! Was hoping the harold bloom book would help me get better at my analysis. Also finished another book "how to read literature like a professor" but all I really got from that was "lookout for jesus, shakespeare and mythology references". I already forgot the rest. kek.

The charm of distance is made of most intimate things:
Favorite sisters, imposing fathers.

Lonely strangers happy see and talk with me
While Der Rosenkavalier or La Befena plays in my head

While I'm standing, in an absurdly underrated park, under a sky too mild
For any elysium, too remote, inconceivably placid

As a bourgeios Christmas would be if it
Took place in an August

Night silent beyond belief, ornate with arias of architecture baroque
As a car landed under a huge oak oak occulting
Stars of a cryogenic winter:

Engineering so reliable that it reminds me of my mother's will
And her forgiveness of human frailty,
As if Rosalind had

Taste in wrestlers fine as mine.

If a book or story speaks to you, it speaks to you. IMO truly sublime writing defies analysis. It is like a spark that sheds light on everything. Read for yourself. Don’t compare yourself to others.
