My parents are about to find out I flunked out of college and I'm at a loss as to what to say. They think I've been taking classes since Spring semester ended when I lost my loan after getting it back on appeal for a probationary basis because I didn't give a shit Fall semester either. So I'm here thinking of how I'm going to word it to my parents when they either realize or I tell them I'm not going to class in a couple days. In all honesty I don't give a fuck about school, my life, or the world around me. I just don't care. There is no desire that compels me to make anything of myself, I feel perfectly content being alone and reading. So yeah. That's it. I'm unironically fucked.

I kind of know the feel anon. I graduated from college but I have to admit that after my first year, I was just coasting through it, not giving a crap about grades and the like. I got a job which while well-paying, is far below what other companies pay for similar positions. My father is really quite pissed at me for my lack of ambition, but I don't see why. I don't want to be rich, I want to make enough and save enough to live a comfortable life and pay for my future kids' college and my retirement. I acknowledge that he worked VERY hard and we are quite wealthy because of it, and that my own relaxed attitude towards money is only possible because of my socioeconomic privilege. But on the other hand, I am 21. My plan is to learn in my current job and then switch to a higher paying company later, by 2023-24.

But enough about my problems. Have you ever read the Iliad? It's been a while since I read it, but I remember a scene where Achilles (I think) says that the reason he and the other warrior can enjoy luxuries and the like is because when the time comes, they work hard on the battlefield. So it is with us. We enjoy reading and writing, but we can only do so because we work hard in the office or on the construction site or wherever.

I have a great desire to do something 'creative'. I recently tried to write a pale imitation of a Socratic Dialogue only to lose interest the minute I realized that I was simply strawmanning opposition to my currently held beliefs. It was a revelation, because I wanted to write something 'ambiguous' or something that I didn't have a belief or 'answer' for...
...what that topic is, fucked if I know.
The problem is I'm not content simply to write something for personal amusement, I must be 'productive' or I don't want to write or do any activity, it must have some sort of life after writing.

Example: I started working in an office quite recently. My boss tells me to get him "paper". Previously, I gave him as little as I'm giving him now, but he wanted a stack about an inch tall as printer paper. I made the stupid mistake of assuming he wanted 5 sheets for scratch paper, like I did when he first asked me a few days ago.

Further example: I ran a Kelley Blue Book analysis for him yesterday, and he asked me to do it again for him today. I got stuck on the question of what's the body of the car, since he never told me. The other guy that's worked there longer than me was nice enough to teach me and walk me through it, but that's when I realized that you can also search by VIN, just like I did yesterday, and we had the VIN. Then as he was saying, "Oh, [my boss] is a nice guy. But when you do something wrong, he'll tell you. Like with the paper." I nodded and smiled but I hated that he was right.

I just don't know what to do anon. At the risk of sounding like a little bitch, why does this keep happening to me?

Those are completely normal experiences to have at your first job, or one of your first jobs. How old are you? When I was younger and doing my first jobs, cashier/busboy/intern at a small marketing firm, etc, I had a lot of experiences like that. The boss says clean the floor, and I sweep it, and he says, "are you an idiot? I meant mop, not sweep." Then a few days later he tells me to clean the floor again, and I go for the mop, and he says "what are you, dense? I meant sweep, not mop!" Back then I thought I was especially unable to understand people's intent and I thought there was something wrong with me, much like you're saying. Though it turned out to happen less and less over the years. These experiences are just more common when you're new to a job, more common when you first start working in general, more common in shitty jobs where the boss is a dumb boomer who doesn't know how to communicate properly, and more common when you're young (especially when the boss is a dumb boomer).

I hope that I'm actually giving you something relevant here, but this learning curve reminds me of this interview with Orson Welles. At the risk of filling you with some edifying platitude of false-hope it's interesting how he describes what happens to basically anyone who has worked in a profession for long enough, you become a 'shut-eye'.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjPsnfysrp8
With the paper thing, you were just doing what you did before - that's normal. However do it long enough and you'll become a 'shut-eye' your subconscious (I know, pseud term but what do you want me to say "System 1"?), will pick up cues about what your boss is doing, how many folders on their desk or windows on their computer screen. What time of day it is. How many clients have come through the yard or office and you'll without being able to rationally explain it deliver an amount of paper closer to how much he needs.

One of the most interesting psychological phenomenon of man is the fact that most will reciprocate a fact with one of an equal emotional value. A fast way to get to know someone is to build up stories from the small into gradually more painful stories.

I decided to fall in love. Specifically with a woman.
Advice of our time and of different perspectives deems one should be cautious. On one libertine side, that one should simply have fun, to be casual and see where it goes, and maybe it will work out. On a traditional and religious side, that one should assess values, personality, and make an informed decision. All these things seem so lifeless, like such life moments are left to circus games or basic formulas.
I have a specific woman in mind. She's beautiful and brilliant. We have classes together. Her soul speaks to me. So I'm going to gamble on this: that this girl will be my wife, and that we will both have just this one, true and fulfilled romance together.
But unfortunately another woman who lives overseas thinks I'm the one. I never said I'd be her lover or anything. But she texts me almost every day. Now I gotta deal with this can of fucking worms somehow. How would it look if I'm texting some Polish girl everyday? And how can I tell her I'm falling in love over here?

I got my first girlfriend two weeks ago at age 26, but I want to break up with her already. I don't like her very much.
I'm a sperg and I have no self-confidence with women, am needy, depressed, etc. I believe that being repulsive to women is basically central to my self-image, although I'm quite successful in other respects. Anyway, a few months ago my friend gave me the advice that I expect too much from a gf, and my standards are too high. I shouldn't expect a woman to be a sperg like me, or share my interests or personality, because I'll never find someone like that. Instead I should just try to appreciate how average women are, and take a regular one as my gf. After all, he says, the point of women is putting your penis inside them, not intellectual companionship.
Well, I decided to try his advice on the next girl who showed interest in me. She is a quiet book reading girl, 23, quite cute but very sheltered. She was enamored with me immediately and seems quite obsessed with me. At first I liked her because she was cute and I was excited, but I quickly became bored of her company. The conversation is completely lacking of any substance, because we don't really share any intellectual pursuits or hobbies. Her job is boring and I just can't get her to talk about anything in depth. She listens politely while I try to tell her about autistic subjects that I like, but I can tell she doesn't care or understand. She refuses to have sex because she wants to be in love first. She doesn't like food or music or basically any activities; all she ever wants to do is walk around outside and kiss in public parks. I'm embarrassed to show her to my friends because she's not funny, interesting, or outgoing and doesn't have any hobbies or friends. She's super boring and I just do not enjoy spending time with her at all. Now I can't decide if I should keep giving it more time and wait to see if I will come around, or break up with her now before making things worse. I can't even decide if I want to just accept having a girlfriend I don't like and get used to it because it's the best I'm going to get. I'm afraid I'll never reproduce and I'm going to die alone. I wish I had never taken my friend's stupid advice.

My parents showed me how mutual interests are not that important for a long relationship. Other than religion, they don't have too much in common. But they do compliment each other. They talk about the house, church, work, the dogs, the kids, etc.
I wouldn't waste your only gf thus far for such a specious reason.
This is why you're a sperg, and don't need to be. Real conversation is far more layered than mere interests. It also centers around values, and sharing life.
And the fact is, there are very few boring people in the world. About none, in fact. If you showed some genuine interest in people, you'd begin to see that. I think the problem here is you.

One option.
Go and intentionally get infected. Isolate and get well. There’s a good chance you’ll get over it without much trouble at all (depending on your age. You seem to be about 20ish, no?).

according to what standard? isn't everything exactly the same same as you thought it was before you locked yourself in this inane point of view? As old Bob Dylan said: "There is nothing to prove, everything still is the same". If all things are the same, what is it that they are now suddenly not?

I do not believe that if someone is depressed and it makes them find everything meaningless, that this is any kind of a reason to believe that everything is meaningless.

I proudly present a parable for pondering and puzzlement and perplexitude predicated upon personal participation and a profligate partiality to pretentious prolixity. Previously, as I was petting my pretty pussycat, I perceived a putrid pungency. I promptly pinpointed the precise place where this pugnacious and penetrating perfume is produced. One pales at its permeation when pulling personal pelage from a plugged perspiration purgation pipe. I purposed to point out this perturbing peculiarity to my parents so they could procure a purifying prescription for my poor precious pudding, but upon propounding to press my proboscis into her pelt post the passing of a period of pensive paranoia, the pestiferous problem was propitiously prevailed over presumably through prudent and proper preening practices. I have since postulated that the principle of palpable poor presentation was a parole of perianal protein. Of the possible prospects of proclaiming a parallel to this predicament in the process of pleasant propinquity with pets, I propose the poverty of perspicacity to profess.
