How do you deal with it? The moment you realize your life will never be anything but ordinary?

It just hits so hard.

>> No.5211203

I've come to terms with it, and am still coming to terms with it, as my golden years slowly pass me by.

I'm trying to capitalise, at least. So that's what I tell my future four year old when he asks me why daddy isn't famous. Daddy fucking tried.

How do you deal knowing you're a loser plebeian who places actually worth on things such as social status and achievement?

One should live their life as they decree, not as others do.

Take solace in the fact that whatever extraordinary achievement you believe you should/could've made, after about a week of feeling good about it, you'll go back to feeling like shit and wishing you were dead. Your baseline of being a person will stay like that with or without the nobel prize in literature/w/e you want

It is interesting to think: when (historically) did this become a cause for despair? I experience the dreaded thought that I am Preterite all the time... There are Elect people like Pynchon and Riemann who seem to embody Myth, and then there's me, wanking with a back hunched over an 11.5 inch laptop screen. I wonder if people in hunter-gatherer societies ever experienced things like this. Such societies were no doubt not egalitarian leftist paradises, but it's hard to see how any one person could be "mythical" or extraordinary. I'm sure I'd envy the prehistoric Chad Thundercock, but would it be cause for despair?

I've never considered myself ordinary. As a child, I would sometimes even fake a limp just to mark myself out - a very slight one, mind you, nothing comical. I enjoy distinction and have always pursued it. Currently, I'm a snob, but I'm open to suffering and victimhood. If I suffered an eye injury, I would be almost grateful, and would pretend I acquired it under unusual circumstances that I refuse to talk about, as opposed to walking into a thornbush, which would be the most likely way for it to happen. My indifferent desire for differentiation is itself the desired difference.

The worse feel is realising that you'll never fuck women in their prime (16 - 21). Fuck everything. I'm 22. How much longer do I have to get them?

>The moment you realize your life will never be anything but ordinary?

that's your choice. stop being so boring. wage war on being bored (and not by entertaining yourself with television and porn etc.)

you have to leap blindly and see what happens sometimes. despite any careful planning and decisions you might make, you'll never be able to control the outcome, so why not at least make things more interesting, seek out situations that are new and more stimulating? you'll be challenged regardless of whether you stay safe and familiar or take risks. (I'm not, btw, recommending self-desctructive behavior, but that you maybe take on new challenges, move to a new place)

one thing I'm very thankful for with my family is they were always the 'move to a new place and see what happens' kinds of people, and they always insisted that those kinds of leaps are worthwhile. my dad actually met my mom living in Germany (both of them Americans), so I wouldn't even exist if it weren't for both of them being willing to leave the familiar behind.

Are you serious?

That's probably the worst age to fuck them in, 22+ women will at least know their way around your cock.
If you weren't mentally ruined from looking at porn 8 hours a day you'd prefer an actual lay over a visually perfect, dead fish.

I've dealt with virgins, man. Overrated. They don't know dick from sausage, and there's an exhausting amount of reassuring cunnilingus involved.

I've already fucked 10 escorts that ranged from 6 - 9 out of 10. But none of them were as young as me. Through cumulative experience, all women are dumb filthy unlovable whores by the age of 25 (either professional or hobbyist) so women aged 16-21 are the way to go. I only had the epiphany in the previous sentence yesterday, when I cancelled an appointment with my 11th escort after seeing a qt girl my age (seeing as in looking at her from a distance, not actually coming in contact with her - I've only fucked escorts).

I really doubt that all young women are shit at sex.

Life is pretty much a universal experience. Hugging a loved one feels the same whether you're a prince or a pauper. A Pepsi tastes like Pepsi whether it's drunk by Donald Trump or one of his boot-licking toadies.

And we all end up in the same place.

So relax. Enjoy your life!
