I found out that my job will let me work remotely from anywhere in the world (currently in burgerstan) and I kind of want to bite the bullet and do it. It's not like I have a lot of friends or anything to leave behind, and I'd be saving money if I moved somewhere cheaper.

I'm a bit of a right proper cunt asshole. I normally judge people too harshly when I know I shouldn't or have the right to but I get fucking pushed to my wits end with the state of society and I wouldn't be sad if I woke up one morning to a world void of humans except myself.
I fear I'm also destined for hell. not because I've committed any unspeakable act but I feel I'm not 'good enough' to enter the pearly gates. never been baptized, never proclaimed Jesus to be my lord and savior. I also know I'm going to die alone and in a weird way I am ok with that. I don't think I have the trust level to give my heart and life to another, most women I've dealt with have shown me more than enough reason why I shouldn't trust others but also I've fucked over the 3 or 4 good women who could've been my wife. all in all I have a daily melancholy feeling about my outlook on life and its a bit of a guilty pleasure as the melancholy feels 'good' in a sense. I'm a fucked up human in the sense that I don't want to be 'normal' and normality seems to equate to insanity in my book and being called "weird" by peers and 'friends' is no longer a diss but a compliment.

old heads like to tell you not to trip more than once a month, that's probably where you got the idea. they used to believe bad shit would happen to you mentally if you took it more frequently than that, but the myth of "acid casualties" has since been dispelled. cid can scare the shit out of you obviously but it can't actually harm you, unless you're a latent schizophrenic, in which case it'll only accelerate your inevitable decline

I've been playing this Just Go computer game that is about the venerable board game go. I've since been thoroughly mind blown and can't help but see the entire universe through the lens of this game.

It's been said that "go is life". I never quite appreciated these words until I started playing it. Once you get into it and start playing enough games and experience the infinite taoistic blending of opposites, you start to see the same emerging, cresting, waving, and receding patterns everywhere. The universe is an effervescent, ever changing goban, in which atoms are the stones, endlessly rearranging and dissolving back again in a combinatorial matrix of possibilities, shapes and forms.

Sometimes when playing a game you quite literally see yin-yang like Tao patterns, fractal equilibria, perfect harmonies, and the classic black and white stones only reinforce this already heightened perception of unity in opposition. The two player's minds interlock and intertwine, becoming an intricate dialogue that transcends language. Structure dissolves into formlessness, what was once apparently solid and unmoving soon gives way into movement and fluidity. The void shapes content, action implies reaction, and so on back again in a cycle. Emptiness is possibility, possibility emptiness.

I'm 22 and live the lifestyle of an old man.
I have no social life, and spend my free time at home watching movies, playing videogames, reading.
Sometimes I feel that I've never been at all. Today I was talking with a coworker about how my sleep schedule is fucked from years of working jobs late at night. That I go to bed at like 2am & wake up at noon. He turns and asks "what do you do during all that time? .... I don't mean to pry into your personal life if you don't feel comfortable saying.."
I was at a loss for words. If I said the truth it would reveal that I have zero social life. So I kind of just mumbled something quietly and incoherently about watching or playing games.
Bros ... why am I like this?
I'm still young I guess, but sometimes I wish I could enjoy the dumb fun of youth. Whenever I hear other people talk about their youth, they talk about doing all this crazy dumb shit with other people. Which they regret but there's still you can tell a kind of fondness and nostalgia in their voices . But I feel like I never got to experience that. LIke I was always too cautious and held back. And the dumb shit I did was just humiliating and solitary, never truly bonding with other people.

I was the same way. I feel like in my teenage years, I could never bring myself to ignore risk like teenagers are kind of supposed to, and that cost me social development in some way. It’s like I missed a stage of personal growth that everyone else went through.

If I Were a Giant Snake

I would bide my empty time in the forest; then, upon the awaited opportunity, bind a girlchild in scaled coils as if to devour her. Devour her, however, I would not. The pressure of my embrace would be enough to acquaint the girl with her own delicate mortality, but not so much as to crack her bones or asphyxiate her. Holding her thusly, I would revel in her tears, licking them off of her frightened face with my forked, flickering tongue, and soak up the warmth of her squirming body so filled with racing blood. Possessing her, tasting her urine as it steams through the air, gazing down at my terrorized, mesmerized captive; these things would constitute the apotheosis of my cold-blooded existence, a high from which point every other thing would seem unreal. Loosening my grasp, allowing her blood and her breath to flow freely once more, I would release her back to a newfound appreciation of mundane life.

Indeed, from that point on nothing would ever seem again so real to the girl, either. In her old age, decades after the splendor of my dragon skeleton had sunken into the all-consuming earth, she would wonder at the time we spent together. Blessed, perhaps, would she feel by the encounter; to be so deathly afraid and yet so marvelously uninjured is an opportunity for self-knowledge rarely granted to a person. If nothing else, the memory would make for a captivating cautionary tale to tell to her grandchildren.

I was the same. Hit a hard depression when I turned 23 due to it. There's two things I do now. The first is that I recall the good times I had in my youth. Things werent as sad and depressing as I made the habit of thinking. When we get depressed we often forget the good times we had. Force them back into your memory.
The second thing I started doing was getting active. When I have free time I force myself out of the house. Get comfortable doing things alone. Go to places you want to see. Engage activities you want to do and dont be afraid of doing it alone.
I also reccomend making contact with acquaintances. Just casually ask a work buddy if he wants to do something. A social life wont be ready made for you. You have to pursue and build one. Get started now. No reason to delay

I'm surprised you haven't realized all of those except the Nietzsche posters are the same person on /lit/. Sometimes 25-50% of the posts in a given /wwoym/ thread will be this one tranny who writes all in lowercase, is responsible for almost all the snarky and catty replies, and frequently says meds and have sex. He's also the one who posts all those threads of TikTok and Instagram girls asking in greentext if you read women authors. He came to /lit/ about a year or two ago. He may have been responsible for some other horrible trends but this is mainly what he does now. He's very petty and is here almost every hour of the day. My biggest complaint about him is that he targets posters in these threads who are genuinely sharing and opening up about things and makes low effort, mean spirited replies that are only meant to shut the poster down. He never seems to back off and become light hearted or level with the person, every exchange for him is just an excuse to be mean.

Goes without saying he's trans too and defends troons frequently. It's about the only time he posts seriously.

Classes started again today and I'm not myself anymore. I know myself as a quiet, reserved, and timid person. I kept my head down in class and mumbled if the professor asked me anything. I could never do anything like tell a joke to the whole class or interject the professor to give my own take on something.

Well, today I was not that. I spoke loudly and clearly when the professors called on me, I made a jokes to the class, and had a proper discussion with a professor. I don't know what has gotten into me. I did all that despite my self-consciousness about the way I looked and dressed, and the fact that I was running on just a few hours of sleep and an empty stomach. It was automatic as well. I didn't hesitate to speak my mind. Something is terribly wrong with me, and I don't know exactly what. I'm not supposed to be an outgoing person.

One thing stayed the same though. There was a very cute girl in one of my classes. She had on those 70s wire frame glasses that reminded me of Jeffry Dahmer. I found Dahmer to be hot and relatable, although I'm not a fag nor do I BBC. The shirt she was wearing also seemed to be from the 70s, I think she was going for a 70s look. I really liked her outfit. I like 70s rock music. She had her hair tied up in a bun but let her bangs down. I like bangs on girls. I think most guys do. It made me sad to know that I'll never be able to impress a girl as cute as her. Her face looked a bit like Stephanie Joosten's. I'll always be an ugly sperg. Women will be forever disgusted by me. That will never change.

I've had a feeling of impending doom since last week and it's not stopping. Previously I've stated that I'm going to another city to study but the more I approach the date of departure, the more I feel like I'm going to die that day.

That's why I've been seeing a lot of my friends. Past and recent friends. We've been focused on making memories before I go because I told them I won't be able to see them often once I'm there (which is true). It's a bit silly but what if it wasn't just a feeling? I've heard of people on their hospital beds sensing they were about to die soon and making preparations and I even heard of cases perfectly healthy people just saying goodbye before running into accidents.

I'm about 95% sure I'm just paranoid. Maybe it's just my brain making things up because I will, in a sense, die once I leave my city, because I will be leaving everything behind and be coming back as a changed man. But I don't know. What if it's some sort of warning? The impulse to make things right before departing is becoming stronger day by day as I still realize I will still have unfinished business here. I have apologies to make to some people and especially my mom.

I might be a fucking schizo but please God at least don't let me die as an unfilial, ungrateful bastard before taking my soul.

Firstly, sorry I took two hours instead of 30 minutes like I said. I scrapped a lot of stuff because I ended up biting off more than I can chew; I went into the purpose of fiction and art as a whole and a few other very broad stuff. I deemed it irrelevant and cut everything that wasn't explicitly relevant. Anyway, onto the argument:

>characters should be a vessel by which the author communicates themes.
I'm going to reword this to something a bit more rigid (and less elegant) because it's going to help with presentation:
>fictional characters serve a specific function, and that function is to aid in communicating concepts/ideas to the reader.

I believe that, before communicating anything effectively, one has to understand the nature of the mind interpreting the message (you wouldn't write an essay for your dog explaining that it's impolite to bark at guests). An author is human, as are his readers, and human beings are decidedly not perfect. Therefore, when communicating perfect concepts, an author must take care to appeal to his reader's nature—a nature that is irrational and imperfect. In other words, the author must translate his themes ("themes" are, in my view, comparable to Platonic Forms) to an imperfect language so that they can be understood by the reader.
To summarize, if a character is to fulfill its function—which is to communicate themes to the reader—the character must be comprehensible to the reader, and that's only possible if the character is relatable. The character doesn't necessarily need to be realistic, but they—get fucked >>20881046—do need to be relatable. (you could argue that "relatable" is equivalent to "realistic," and that relatability is a spectrum of realism, but I'll only dive into this if you do argue that because it's a whole subject on its own.
P.S. Apologies if this is written in an autistic way, I am of an autistic nature—this is ironic, considering the message of my argument.

based singular they user.

I'm the original anon that suggested the topic, and I have to say your argument is really well done. You're entirely right that a character has to be comprehensible to the reader, and if the character simply embodies an abstract archetype or thematic element then it can be hard for a reader to understand. However, I don't think a character has to be "relatable", at least depending on a some definitions of relatable. Although I'm sure that what you meant by relatable is more akin to understandable than the state of being similar to oneself - correct me if I'm wrong.
It's ironic that I never considered the communicability aspect of a written character since I hold the belief that everything regarding language, and thus by extension literature, has to be communicable, unless the specific intent is not to be communicable. A more "fleshed out", or at least "concrete" or "human" character is much more likely to be understandable by the reader, and by neglecting that aspect of a story I am betraying my own philosophy of prose.

You're right. I suppose the word "relatable" is pretty vague, but I was using it with the intention to mean something more like "comprehensible as a result of obeying familiar laws."
I will say that while composing the argument in my notes, I had many moments where I dropped my pencil and felt that I actually have no idea what the fuck I'm talking about. I'm pretty confident that my argument has a lot of holes in it, but I don't really know what they are. Either way I'm not really satisfied with it and I'm going to try to figure this out sometime within the next 10 years.
Also, I want to mention that some good examples of characters that kind of embody the issue are Superman and One Punch Man.

I'm want to attempt a literary "experiment", and I want to hear what other anons think about it.
The general gist is that if I write a narrative about the actions of my future self, would I somehow be more inclined to carry out the actions?
For example, let's say I write something such as "On August 30th, Anon starts looking for a job, and within a month he is hired". Would that somehow make me more motivated to get off my lazy ass and look for a job? Would it act a self-fulling prophecy where I am both the prophet and prophesized? Obviously I won't write about things that are blatantly out of my control, and what I actually write would be much more detailed and focused than the example I gave. Does this interest any Anons, and would they like to hear any progress reports? I'm thinking of starting this tomorrow night, in my diary desu.

becoming amounts to the destruction of one thing and the birth of another. being alive means flowing constantly like a river. you don't want to stagnate: stagnant water gets infected by ugly things.

i'm basically going to parrot/oversimplify nietzsche to you.
you need to embrace it. that's ofc easier said than done, but let me explain why you need to embrace it (maybe that will make it eaiser).
stagnation, as i said before, leads to sickness, decay, resentment of others, unhappiness; stagnation is poison that kills life—actual death, not just perceived death. to cower from the prospect of your current-self dying, you are renouncing your will to live (since being alive means ebbing and flowing, like water), it means renouncing your strength and your joy.
these things are invaluable. the feeling you have now is an illusion caused by the fear of death and the seductive quality of weakness.

in short: it will be easier to embrace the bad feelings if you realize that they are, in fact, a privilege disguised as an ailment. being in constant flux is integral to life.

also, you should know that it gets easier the more you do it. it's very scary at first to make big changes; that's to be expected. the more you change, the more easily you embrace change—you eventually realize that change does not amount to total annihilation. it's only a partial annhilation, and is always accompanied by internal birth and growth.

finally, in the words of my late great father, "stop thinking so much about things. you sound like a fag."

whats the difference between impostor syndrome and alienation

>> No.20882327

>>20882299
imposter syndrome, as far as i know, refers to the feeling of feeling like you do not deserve your reputation because you are secretly being disingenuous (or something like that?)
alienation, on the other hand, refers to a more broad category of feelings that necessarily includes imposter syndrome: the feeling of being unable to relate to others on account of your (perceived or real) disparate nature.

i imagine that imposter syndrome would cause feelings of alienation; it does not, however, seem that feelings of alienation cause imposter syndrome.

>> No.20882381

>>20882353
well, it perhaps could in some circumstances. i'll give you an example of one in which i do not think alienation would lead to imposter syndrome:
imagine a single man that is constantly surrounded by couples that publicly display their affection. this would, of course, cause the man to feel alienated and perhaps frustrated; but, i don't think it would make him feel like a fake or a phony at all. provided the man doesn't feel insecure to the point of fabricating a relationship (i.e., "oh yeah, ofc i have a gf, but you probs don't know her; she goes to a different school"), he would simply feel alienated and *maybe* develop an inferiority complex.
correct me if i'm wrong here. i don't really have any idea what i'm talking about if i'm being honest

>> No.20882402

>>20882381
yeah but he'll feel he has the same things as those guys and that he doesn't have a gf despite that so he'll feel underappreciated ie the opposite of impostor

>>20882170
Maybe i could do that. Still im afraid id fuck it up or get stuck in perfectionism.

>> No.20882434

>>20882402
i guess he would feel like he's under-appreciated. "the opposite of imposter" seems like a concise way to putt it.
the way it seems to me is that he'll develop one of two broad ways to cope:
>A. he will blame others (the women are incapable of appreciating me due to some fault of theirs)
>B. he will blame himself (i am inferior to other men and am naturally unfit for a woman's love)
i would think that imposter syndrome should only be able to develop if the man goes with cope number A. this is because he might eventually start feeling haunted by the suspicion that he is NOT actually superior, that he is lying to himself, etc.
however, if he goes with cope number B, he will not feel like he is living a lie. the way he sees things, everyone already knows he is undeserving of love—that's why he gets no bitches. he has nothing to hide. he is only plagued by feelings of inferiority, without the feelings of being a phony.

in that case he likely will end up developing imposter syndrome. i can't imagine someone using the ole' "it's everyone else's fault" without having *some* suspicion that they're lying to themselves.
that being said, it is important to draw a distinction between alienation and imposter syndrome: they aren't exactly the same thing, and can indeed (it would seem) occur independently of one another (for example, if our hypothetical man chooses route B and not route A).
i do think it's probably more common for there to be a mixture of A and B when it comes to irl instances of such people; you could say that alienation and imposter syndrome *usually* appear together. but not always

I guess you could call it a higher power, I've assumed it's some predetermination. To kill another would be to kill be the course I'm on right now - it won't be allowed to happen. I've had it before where I've come over with mysterious illnesses that have prevented me taking reckless actions. If it ever got that stage, a bus would hit me and throw me into a coma before that were allowed to come to fruition. It would likely be more subtle - I'd have some nutty dipshit try to start a fight with me and I'd realise my own cowardice or something.

If you were to call it a higher power, I would not know if it's good or bad, only that it will take courses of lesser evils to keep me from doing something worse. It is neither benevolent nor malevolent, merely controlling, insofar as I can tell. I'm in shackles already - freedom is a folly of my belief.

anyway, to address this:
>That's not even how it fucking works, anger is not a result of resignation you retard.
that is how it works. resignation is a result of the inability to succeed—it is the result of inferiority and weakness. those are things that lead to resentment, which is almost always coupled with anger. i might would argue that resentment is specific variety of anger, but i'd have to think a bit about the semantics of it. it could be that they sometimes appear independently; though, i think such cases would be rare. either way it's clear that your resentment is coupled with anger.

now you are claiming that i (and those like me) are the only thing standing in the way; but, of course, you have not yet given up hope. you've only denounced most (all?) of humanity—with the exception of yourself. at least i can only assume as much, given that you haven't made any indication that there are others as enlightened as you.

look, this discussion has been pretty hectic. we're really both just shitting on each other at this point. perhaps that's what you're here to do—you would have stopped responding a long time ago if you didn't consider it worthwhile in any way to continue the exchange. you'e already said that it's in my very nature to be incapable of comprehending your message; that means there's another reason you're continuing to respond.
what other reason could it be, if not that you simply enjoy the heat of the conflict? don't get me wrong, i agree that it's pretty fun. but neither of us has been able to get through to the other and there's really no communication going on here.
however, i have a sneaking suspicion that you aren't being completely dishonest with your defeatism and disgust for humanity. this is a very sad thing, anon; it will mean that you will only suffer and that suffering will never be justified. if you're actually mentally ill (it's unlikely but you never know), please know that life doesn't have to be this way. you don't need to resign to fate: even if defeat seems certain, you can continue to fight. that will grant you back your dignity and your joy.

Fuck! Somebody on Twitter threatened to sue me after I posted that some protesters should be shot and judging from his profile, he might actually have done it. Of course, I didn't mean this literally, I don't want anybody to get shot but I wanted to express my anger like that. But I very much doubt that the police will have the same linguistic take on that as I do as law enforcement tends to take everything literally. I deleted the comment and my profile but I doubt that'll help with anything in dystopian Germany. However, after somebody reported me, Twitter sent me a message to notify me that my post isn't against Twitter standards and that it was also in line with German law... still, I doubt that this will also be something that the police will agree on because of course they wanna fuck you.

As for my choices, I'll try to make a long story short. A few years back, I had a relatively high-paying, sort of high-status job that I ended up leaving for a really low-end job that was fine at first because it afforded some much-needed rest and relaxation, but now I'm tired of it. I was a bit older to begin with, and then COVID lockdowns carved in like 2 years of stasis, and the last year I've just kind of stuck around for lack of any career direction. So I have to choose between trying to go back to what I was doing or committing to the decision to leave and going on to the next thing, and the next thing would be the study of this thing which is my current interest I suppose.

The most respectable thing you could possible do is call me out correctly when I'm being a retard, actually trigger some thoughts, the same thing I'm trying to do for you. You like most brainwashed retards operate in this delusion where you're some pure avatar of reason and even hinting that you're brainwashed is a huge insult. It does not bode well for your claims about not being brainwashed when you pretend you have no clue what I'm even talking about. Like you've never heard of brainwashing or propaganda or the fact that retards like you are destroying everything good. As if your entire culture and even any possible "hot takes" you could come up with aren't completely manufactured by the PR industry, advertisements and Hollywood.

I know I was brainwashed. It's relatively easy for me compared to you to separate the brainwashing from reality because in reality I live in a civilized culture with a different language and some connection to norms from before the era of propaganda. Imagining what it would be like to have nothing but the politicized anglo propaganda horseshit and a history of it for generations is like imagining hell on earth. There is nothing to suggest it's getting better, the propaganda has more and more power every day and reaches more and more people not even in the anglosphere. You'll just pretend I'm making shit up and "trolling", no hint of any awareness or even a willingness to think about things which is why you're a retard.
We've been "discussing" these things for decades with no results, it's just stalling until all objections have been removed through propaganda. At this point anyone defending any version or tendril of this shit is an enemy of humanity, that it's through ignorance is irrelevant.
