From what I've gathered, meditation requires one to relax their mind, which is difficult for me, as I'm always cogitating on something. I have excellent concentration, but I don't think concentrating on not thinking is likely to work.

Also, I used to be a phenomenally in-shape water polo player, and though I might be out of shape now, I know what it's like to be fit and that it helps with a surfeit of mental energy.

It's difficult for *everyone*. No artist is amazing when they first pick up a pencil, nobody is born knowing calculus and nobody is instantly amazing at meditation. Like everything it takes practice.

Go search "meditation" on accesstoinsight or something, but here are some basic pointers:

>I have excellent concentration, but I don't think concentrating on not thinking is likely to work.

You don't concentrate on "not thinking", you either focus on one aspect of your body (eg, physical sensations, breathing, etc), or an idea/concept, depending on the type of meditation.

Also, the point is not "thinking about not thinking", it is merely developing the ability to not think. Just sit there and breathe, without any thoughts. Don't force it, just practice doing it. The more you practice the better you'll get at it.

The best meditation literature I've encountered is the instruction sheet I typed up after 3 years of teaching myself. It's a simple meditation, although most people struggle with it because they're not cerebral enough, but once you get down the basic mechanism, you can push it as far as you want. You can have real power.

When I was a little kid my dad would make fun of me every time I was even friends with a girl. The "You've got a giiiirrlfriend! You've got a giiiirrlfriend!" kind of taunting. By the time I was in the 6th grade I had my first real opportunity with a girl but I couldn't think of a way to hide it from my dad so I never asked her out. I would never even say "she" or "her" when I was talking about my friends in front of my dad because I thought he would make fun of me. At any rate, I had an opportunity with another girl in 7th grade but I let it pass for the same reason as before.
The next time I had a girl that I liked enough to ask out I didn't know what to do. I had missed out on all the practice most people get from that in middle school. I would hang out with her but I didn't ever get the confidence to ask her out, even though she probably would have said yes. Now I'm a freshman in college and I've still never had a girl friend.
Also there's a girl in one of my classes who I'm sort of into but then I found out she's 17 and that would be weird.

He does this every time he gets the chance. He says he knows Chinese yoga stuff that can help one achieve "Zen", derides any widespread and known form of meditation and gets mad and defensive when anyone confronts him on it. He also claims to know absolute reality and believes that there once was a utopia in China where peace existed and only good people lived. He knows this from a zen master who has greater authority than historians.

It's quite an entertaining piece of work actually.

I had a girlfriend once but that didn't last long because she was a whore. I've had sex twice. Once with the ex and another time with an underaged (but legal) girl for a bottle of rum.

An illegal immigrant living in US that still lives with parents and a father that won't risk a hair, not allowing his son even borrow a car as a pull-over might end up a deportation. Job? Well, can't have many of those and became very content with the fact I'm justified not getting a normal job that requires a job application and so on (lack of SS makes it so they throw the application to garbage) and my father did not move to U.S. so I work on construction so that's out of question, however, that doesn't justify trying not to earn money some other way. This adds up in a way that I have no way to ask a girl out, even if I was to ask a girl out, what would I say?
"Hey, you wanna go out?"
"Yea, sure, what did you have in mind?"
"We can go *insert a possible activity befitting the situation*, however, I must warn you that I don't have a car, can you pick me up?"
This shit just don't fly.
Even if I do get so lucky as to find a girl that actually goes out with me, I will not support her for long because of my lack of money plus me not being a very exciting person. I spend my days reading books, watching HBO shows, playing Paradox games and going to school. I only have about three close friends that I see maybe twice a week. And they're not very exciting either. I guess I'm just not ready to have a girlfriend, would rather focus on school and future prospects for now.

You can have 5 bucks to your name and still have a meaningful relationship. The ones that are skewing your impression of women are the gold digging bitches in high-end clubs and restaurants.

Not if you have Asperger's, a genius IQ, read souls, and can't stand the idea of pretending to be entertained by a beautiful idiot. Anyone naturally skilled in physiognomy can easily distinguish a dignified and intelligent face from a bubbly and purposeless one. High standards can easily mean that a person is not insecure with low self-esteem, but simply unique and looking for someone else who is equally unique. In our lemming society, a unique, intelligent, and physically attractive girl is extremely difficult to come by--plenty of "smart" ones have given themselves completely over to affectation, and for me, at least, it's repulsive.

I had a real opportunity with a girl who loved me when I was 18 but I said I wasn't ready for the experience and I took a passive attitude assuming things would sort themselves out but it just got worse. Now I'm in an introspective crisis, I feel like I have to excise every iota of weakness and fear from my mentality because it has metastasized into every area of my life and has made me a social invalid. However I am questioning my methods to save myself from an undignified existence whining about "tfw no gf" on /r9k/.

[Anonymous No.2580815]

I legitimately intimidate people because of my attractiveness. Certainly not with the looks themselves (I'm maybe an 8/10) but I come off as cold, unfeeling, deep and edgy. I think people really perceive me as being this way, and it scares them off. Granted I have a bit of a defence mechanism against unwanted (see: unintelligent/too unattractive to be seen in public with) people entering my life, but it's caused me to make few-no friends throughout university.
When people talk to me they find out I'm friendly and are relieved. Most people I have a one-on-one conversation with deeply likely me right away and that is evident in how they respond and act towards me. But I am generally terrible at mainting relationships of any types including friendships, and I am horrible lonely all the time.

[Anonymous No.2580825]

I can't really initiate conversation with strangers, and don't have any friends to introduce me to new people.

When I was in college, the social scene was such that I met a lot of women, and correspondingly I had gfs from time to time. It's a bit crazy when you think about it: they've basically already sorted the world's women and put you in close quarters with those who are in your age range, and who most likely share elements of your regional/socio-economic background. Out of college, you're 1) lacking that aspect, and there are also the problems that 2) standards are higher (need to be sucessful), 3) dating is less casual because people don't have as large an IRL friend network .... granted, to a certain extent i'm making excuses, but these are the challenges i've found. i don't know how to meet women, and i'm not particularly successful for my age.

i am smart and good-looking, which can sort-of work against me as I don't always have the confidence to back it up. People see someone like me and expect me to take charge of the room or something, instead I just act very quiet & reserved so that at least I don't come across as beta, just distant & aloof.

[Anonymous No.2580854]

I don't make enough money working a job equivalent to a McDonalds in the automotive industry (which really doesn't pay all that much until you have tons of money invested into tools and years of experience). I have a ton of issues from self esteem to shitty health. Call me a beta if you want, I don't push back as hard as I probably should and get walked over at times. That's not even the tip of it, I have a felony record on my background that makes me go in and register, you know? Kind of hard to stay in a relationship when you're that pariah who made a stupid mistake. I don't want to hook up with some easy slut, or one who wants to use me to take care of her or anything like that. My standards are too high, and it's probably better to be alone than in a shitty relationship. I'm not at the right place in life to be in a good relationship, simple as that.

ITT

[Anonymous No.2580876]

A few reasons, I guess.

I have pretty severe social anxiety, and I haven't left my house in about 2 months now. When I'm not having these "lapses" I do enjoy talking to people (not large groups of people though), especially helping people or teaching/tutoring people, and making people happy. It's probably the only thing here I'm trying to change about myself. Social anxiety sucks.

I'm extremely empathetic, but I tend to be detached when it comes to my own emotions. For example, I can't remember the last time I've been angry, extremely sad or happy. I get frustrated/upset/amused, sure, but nothing very intense. Some friends resent my lack of passion/expression, and most of my girlfriends were frustrated by it. I did care for them, though. When we break up I honestly don't feel anything at all, I just think "welp, that's over" and move on.

Not interested in sex, but I do like women romantically. I'm not gay or bi, either. I get along with women better than I do men. I'd like to date for the companionship aspect, and all the girlfriends I've had have been extremely close and we're still friends today. Turns out sex is a vital aspect of relationships, though, and I just don't want to do it. Not because of any fears or hangups about it, I'm just not interested. I guess I'm asexual.

I'm not really torn up about it though, I'm happy with having close friends.

High standards + don't leave the house too much + low libido + I always believe I would most certainly be bored within some time.

Still looking for a job, commuting from my home to college, crushingly self-loathing (which, as I've learned from Steppenwolf, is its own kind of egoism; trying to remedy), seem to be a divining rod for chicks with boyfriends. Like, seriously, every girl.

I don't exactly have the up on life that I thought I would at 19. Fuck this economy.


>pic related, though I act a bit Mark Corrigan-ish as well. I suspect I may have a tweedy albeit slightly trendy forty-something symbiotically occupying me.
