I can sometimes spend an entire month on reddit, doing nothing

All I can say is that I feel sorry for you OP, and not in a sympathetic way.

Also, please never post again. Its everything personal.

Learn an instrument. Helped me

>>25780352
I used to play guitar and I've always wanted to learn how to play violin but it's way too loud. I have thin walls and I'm surrounded by 3 syrian neet families. They're home all day and they complain about everything.

>>25780445
Sounds like more reason to play. They don't have power over you. Fuck em

>>25780579
That's easy for you to say. One of those families are second generation immigrants and I'm honestly pretty scared of them. The father is a failed mafia but he still has connections and the son is an actual murderer. About 3 weeks ago they set their crazy dog loose on my chihuahua and it almost killed it. It bit it right through the neck and did that shake thing that animals do when they're trying to rip off limbs. She's fine now but I thought she was going to die. She had a huge hole in her neck.

why wouldnt you report to police you fucking idiot? This isnt syria

>>25781439
Why would I? Our insurance companies handled all the vet bills and they sent their dog up to some relatives in the north. They don't bother me anymore and I never have to see their dog anymore. Why would I have it euthanized and create more problems?

I don't give a fuck if the bother other people as long as they don't bother me

Oh but it is

Reddit is useful for porn 2bh. My interest is vidya so a 3DS or even emulators are good for a starter pack.

>>25781804

Google "song you want to learn" + "guitar tab" and then finger pick away. Literally anyone can learn how to play a song in less than 2 days.

Try the "kill yourself " pack

>>25781755
Do I need friends for that because I don't have any of those.

Start reading and/or writing. Just figure out what kind of story you want to read, whether it's literary fiction, sci-fi, horror, fuck even romance if that's your thing. Keep reading and pay attention to the way they tell stories, what you like about them, the things you don't like. Eventually just try to figure out what to write. That's easier said than done, but just stare at a screen till you think of something. Could be a dude walking down the street, so write that, then thing of something that happens. If it's sci-fi, then maybe aliens come, if horror, maybe the apocalypse starts, if it's literary fiction, maybe he just meets someone interesting. Just step by step write it. Set goals. I'd suggest reading Stephen King's book On Writing. I'm not even a fan of his but I think it does a good job of explaining the writing process in simple terms. If you're on reddit, check out /r/writing, they have some good advice and helpful tools.

I've worked on a pretty decent story in my head for a while now but I fucking suck at writing. I'm so fucking retarded and autistic and I haven't talked to anyone in so long that I can't even make a sentence. It takes me several minutes to write a shitpost. I have to rewrite the same sentence over and over again until it's coherent.

But I will follow your advice anyway and just put my story on paper and see where that leads me. I may be so retarded that I have to rewrite everything I say several times but at least I always produce something in the end.

Even if you're just outlining it, putting notes down that's progress. And the more you read, the better you'll get at writing and it'll come easier. When you do read, really go slow and pay attention to the way the sentences are structured and if you need the help, maybe even just look up some basic stuff. The Elements of Style by Strunk and White is often cited as one of the best reads for this and closest thing you'll get to textbook on writing.

Every starts out bad. In high school, partially because I was just lazy as fuck, I was terrible, had my senior year English teacher basically tell me to go read a book or I'd fail college. Funny thing is I'd read plenty. Now I'm in a pretty elite graduate program about to finish my MFA (not bragging, just being honest for context's sake) Once you get a hang of it, it comes naturally, and even if it isn't something serious for you I think it's a good habit. I had a lot of anxiety issues, social and others, and still do, but getting better at writing has made it so much easier for me to converse with people. Writing skills translate to verbal. I'd suggest just journaling some too, it really helps to get your thoughts out and think them through on paper.

Seeing my typos now.

>talking to you about improving your writing
>mine's shit

Whatever, I typed it while I was on the toilet.

I prefer audiobooks. Do you think that helps in the same way reading does?

>>25780221
This is the worst post I've seen in months. I sincerely hope it's bait. Please leave.

I've honestly never listened to an audiobook, so not sure really, but I'd say that the actual hard copy is better since you'll be seeing the sentence visually when you type. With an audiobook, I'd think it'd be harder to stop reading and go back and look over a sentence and understand the way the clauses, the prepositional phrases, and everything relate to each other, like it would in a sentence diagram.
