On paper it shouldn't, I have like 70% of what a 24 year old man could want. I got a well paying job, I live at home with loving parents (normal here), people generally like me, I am physically healthy.

Very true.

Some of my nostalgia for that age *is* tainted by youth. But I also feel that some of the ways of relating to people that thrived then are dead. Misanthropy is pervasive now. Men hate women. Women hate men. Whites hate blacks. Blacks hate whites. This is a distorted abnormality. There was not perfect harmony in the past, but everyone living their lives online has made things much worse.

And in my own experience. I feel like in the early 2010s and late 2000s I could meet and bond with new people with ease. Now everyone is quietly seething and defensive: it all feels horrible.

I just don't know anymore. I always knew that I was not made for having tons of friends, being the centre of attention, all that stuff. The thought of a gf never even entered my mind until I just got too horny. But regardless of all that I thought that I was still smart enough to do something, to find some meaning. Turns out I'm retarded, lazy and weak. I haven't opened a book in years. The worst thing is, when I do study, I actually enjoy it. But I'm too scared to try, so I don't. Why try and fail when you can just do nothing and fail utterly?

Lately I've been having pretty bad dreams and thoughts. I have this urge to pluck out my eyes, to cut open my face, to break my fingers, things like that. I'm worthless objectively, but I don't really have an urge to kill myself or to hurt others. I just want to break myself. I won't do it because my parents would be sad, but I just feel this burning urge inside me sometimes to run head first to the wall, plunge a knife into my calves, things like that. It passes then, and I look outside the window and I see some kittens playing and I get a smile on my face and I'm happy again, so it's not that bad. But I don't like it when I feel these things.

Honestly, I just don't know. I've lost every chance. I'm not going to say that everyone outside is a sex god, but even during my time they were starting to fuck around and from what I'm hearing outside, the younger gen's even more promiscuous. I'm a virgin at 26. Even if I found a gf how could I ever cope with being last? I can't. So that's out. What else remains? I'm not talented enough at anything, and whatever I was good at was ruined a long time ago. I collect things and that gives me some balance, but with how slow the entertainment industry is and how bad the collecting community's gotten Post-Covid, it'll take me another decade to complete my collection.

It's funny, when I was a kid I'd go to bed sad at all the suffering in the world, and I'd get "devil" stuck in my head because I was so afraid of him. I still am, but in an effort to make myself feel fulfilled, I've started having this fantasy that I am a sort of failed demon. I'm retarded and lost and I use fantasies to cope with how much a failure I am. It's a defense mechanism. If I keep telling myself that I'm evil and if I go forward in life I'll be a demon, it's easy to excuse doing nothing...

It's not like 4chan was ever a place for enlightened, high-brow discussion but the quality was far superior to what it is today. There was actual OC and more often than not it was even amusing or clever in some way, nowadays you're lucky if you get another repulsive variant of *jak or whatever the fuck that gets spammed all over the entire site, even in totally unrelated boards and the politically incorrect but funny image macros about niggers being thieves and stealing bikes that you'd see on /b/ or wherever the hell have turned into traumatized faggot retards crying about their nigger trauma 24/7 and all over the place, on pretty much every board they touch. It should never have been permitted.

There is a difference between the site being a """cesspool""" because it was entirely irreverent and disrespectful of everything that "should" be taken seriously and as such repelled normalfags who couldn't take it and the state it's in today where most of the user base seems to use the site as the place to empty their night pot because they took the "cesspool" allegations for the truth. You should know how it goes, if you pretend you're an idiot you'll attract actual idiots who believe they're in good company. The problem is they were never kicked out, now it's mostly just the actual idiots left.

Just by reading your post i can guarantee you're not worthless. You're articulated enough and more intelligent than most people. You're also not worthless, and your heart is in the right place; your mind isn't, however, but that can be worked on.
I'm no position of giving advices, given my circumstances, but you can change, little by little, by taking small steps, stuff like changing your course in college or make an extra effort to finish and then find a general source of income. That will make you feel more valuable, i believe.

here is what should be a great insight for you:
stupid people are not aware that they are stupid.
evil people do not care about the evil they do.
demons have no qualms about being demonic.
You are really a good boy, and with a little luck and effort you will find a good girl. You are acutely aware of what good and evil is, what the devil is; start fighting it. find some way to and do something and your life will change forever.
also remember; you can only be courageous, in the face of fear. courageous people do not feel confidence, they feel fear, and do things anyway.

I know, I know, but my fantasies are all I have. And if I try and fail, I'll forever know I'm nothing. However if I don't try, I'll certainly be nothing. I'm too cowardly is all. And there's a self-destructive tendency in me. I suppose because I'm scared. Whatever I was good at as a kid was eventually taken from me. So I ruin it all before factors outside my purview can do it for me first.
>>22837944
I can't do that. In my cunt you take your finals and after your score comes out, you apply for a few schools and a specific subject. Once you're in, that's it. You can't change what you study, you don't even pick your classes. You either do it, or you give up.
>>22838128
Thank you for the kind words anon. But it's hard, you know? Take today. I studied. I didn't over eat. I run an hour on the treadmill. I felt light and better about myself. Night came, I got the yearning for a pizza. I resisted. I ended up paying 30€ for a "gourmet" dish that was basically beef with tons of pasta. Now I'm bloated, feel fat again, my hard work went down the drain, and I'm back to where I was in the morning. I'm incapable of doing well because the moment I make a single good decision, however insignificant, I walk back on it and make the same mistakes.
>>22838187
I wish I knew what thoughts were my own. I've become so indecisive I cannot figure out what I like on any given subject. I'm empty and open to everything. I feel no pulls, no genuine desires, nothing. It's all equally nothing. I don't even know what, I don't know, colours I like, or music, or any other basic piece of identity. I used to be steadfast, now I'm a feather in the wind, being carried to nowhere.

>also remember; you can only be courageous, in the face of fear. courageous people do not feel confidence, they feel fear, and do things anyway.
Thanks anon. I've always felt very cowardly. Far too often I'd go to the cinema and they'd play a horror trailer before the movie I was there to watch, and I'd slump over, close my eyes and put my fingers into my ears. Loud noises startle me. Most days I don't feel like a man, more like a mockery of it. I go to the supermarket and while the butcher's cutting the meat, if I'm close, my body involuntarily flinches. I can't help it, it's there. But I've been doing better. Managed to watch some horror flicks by myself. I await the butcher's knife and brace myself. Small things, really, but hey.

I just don't know. Half the time I'm so angry, at myself, at certain elements; and the other half I'm hyperactive. But it's all hollow. An act I'm playing, because I'm too scared to try and find out who I am in the real world. I wish I was a better person, but these days I don't even feel like I exist.

i can't go on like this. 8 whole fucking years searching for a sliver of hope, meaning, anything. no friends, no money, parents believing in me, and forced to go through my day like a worker in some kind of absurdist post modern novel. this is wake up at 6am, while the darkness still makes me want to believe i can go still lie in my bed, safe and warm, dreaming as its the only thing left, yet i must make myself to get up. clench my teeth, take a hour long ride to a place where my uni classes take place. im a med student, so what is expected to me to do is either
a) listen to a doctor talking about some illness in excruciating detail, down to international standards for lab results and such
b) talk with patients about their time in hospital and everything related to it, no sidetracking or doing anything remotely interesting
c) (by far my favourite) stand behind surgeons back as hes doing his cutting and sewing
then, after 4 hours, i get back to my rented room, as i cant even say im going back to my rented flat. 95% of the time im sitting right in front of me screen, waiting. the games are not fun, the music is not fun, the reading is not fun, the drawing is not fun, youtube is not fun, internet is not fun, 4chan is the last remaining place i can feel my words might have even the slightest weight of importance. then, i go to sleep
shouldve went stem, but now ive fucked up and parents wont give me money for another few years in education. its either go down this path of oblivion or go for some shitty wagie job and simultaneously study

This is ultimately the biggest problem. The board is comprised of a majority of retards or people who don’t care about literature, that majority make the most threads because their threads are low effort and bait of some sort, and the majority go towards those threads that are being created more rapidly than good threads. There is little incentive to post or make threads because of this, coupled with the fact that many worthwhile anons left. I most stick to general type threads based around legit literature so more anons can join.

>dude, if you don’t bump your thread every 12 hours before it dies, you don’t deserve to have it up

For the anon that will say this, this isn’t how /lit/ works, or shouldn’t in theory. People have lives. People read. /lit/ is supposed to be a slow board with incentive for longer, more effort posting.

Ultimately, /lit/‘a problem is a demographic problem, the anons here now are trash, and too many shit threads are made. Even if post number is the same as years ago, I’d bet there are more threads made today but more threads dying with few replies compared to the past. Until /lit/ gets a better demographic who respects /lit/, it will continue to be trash. Creating a philosophy and a religion board would be a fine start but it’s clear the powers that be want a hands off approach, I mean, /lit/ moderation is terrible compared to the old days, I can’t blame them though because it would take so much effort to clean the board up
