Checked the catalogue and didn't see one.

I've got a lot of life experience and some time to kill tonight. Lay your woes out and I'll respond with anything I've got.

I have a small dick. I love jacking off for women over webcams. I've jacked off for hundreds of girls this year.

Just wanted to let you know.

ps I love to eat ass.
>>
>>18098998
Eating ass means a good tongue which means good oral.
Just like you'd stay with a girl who starfished in bed if she gave great blowjobs, a girl would stay with you if you ate her ass.

I've also jacked off to hundreds of girls this year, but that's because I put my pornography on a randomized slideshow.

For a couple years now I've been approaching life with the attitude of "it doesn't fucking matter anyways" and I've been really satisfied, more than I've ever been. I'm able to enjoy the small things

But a consequence of that is that I've lost any semblance of ambition. I don't really strive for anything and I've settled with an unattractive girl who over the years I've grown to love and will probably marry someday

So I'm kind of confused. I feel like a NEET. But i have a job. And I'm going to school. And i live On My own. My job is pretty decent i guess. I work in manufacturing. The pay is decent. I'm 27, and about half way through my electrical engineering degree.

I guess what makes me feel this way is situations like the past few days. I took some vacation from work on Thursday and Friday for no real reason but to get some downtime. I've stayed in my room since Wednesday, only coming out for food or to visit the restroom. Tomorrow will be the first time all weekend I've been out of the apartment, and it's just for class.

I have friends as well. One of my oldest buddies invited me to go to a bar with him for a few drinks tonight. But i just stayed and played on my computer and ignored his text.

I feel like I'm in a rut. I'm single and i know if i stay on this path, ill remain that way. But i guess what I'm asking is, how do i be more social? Shit's scary.

I've been on my own for a while but if there's one thing I never ever got good at was talking to girls or simply allowing myself to relax enough to enjoy myself.

I live maybe 15 mins away from a major city but I've never been there, I'm afraid of going over there and doing something stupid with my beat up car and the little money I have left.

I guess what I'm trying to say is how does broke, tired, severely anxious slightly out of shape 22 year old virgin whose intimidated by women more sexually experienced than him get laid without having to drop 300+ on a hooker

That sort of joy-from-nihilism sense is one shared very, very closely by most (gentle) east-asian philosophies and religions.
Because ultimately you're right, it's not all that terribly serious because inevitably everybody leaves this. And even if you're judeo-christian you still go to heaven so it still ends up being a "so what" as long as you're good.
And I make this comparison very specifically because I remember a quote on buddhists that "It is a truly impressive thing to see a man engaged in the ratrace of society, while still knowing it is really just a silly game"

Always keep on to knowing what it feels like to know that it doesn't matter, and there's a joyous fun in that.
But also, play the game. You're here, after all. You don't play Skyrim just to metagame, you get into it and roleplay. But you still know its just a game if you get mad.

>>18099014
1) You feel like a NEET probably because you expected to be a little farther along in your life by now, yeah? That coupled with staying in is the same as every 16 year old that bitches here about "no job no gf never go out" but it's just them being young and shy.
So you relate to that and feel like a NEET. Don't. You're in education and working, you're independent and actively advancing your life. No NEET self-pity there.

2) You're being reclusive, maybe because of the above. Maybe something else. Regarldess, the two compound into each other. You stay in because you're a NEET. You reject social invites because you're a NEET. Break the chain.
Swallow the anxiety and go out with your buddy. See if he wants to go out for a beer tonight (or tomorrow, whatever, time zones) or even just to play some video games.

I've isolated myself in the past, and it starts out by just avoiding people for no reason. It sounds comfortable at the time but the pain runs deep and is REALLY hard to repair.

Life hack: Have zero expectations so you cannot disappoint yourself!

>>18099015
Visit the city more. If you're spooked just drive into town briefly and then leave. Use a GPS to make sure you only circle a block and have a clear and immediate exit, if need be.
Then do it again but this time stop at a gas station.
Then do it again but park in a garage and walk around a few blocks.
etc.

Build up to it. A business isn't going to tell you to go away, and the city blocks won't bite.
I do the same thing whenever I end up in a new city for awhile. I nervously scout out a few blocks, then a few more, and more, and more, and usually by the 4th or 5th time I look around I'll take a train across the town without knowing where I'm going because I finally have a reference point.

As for women: You're not as bad looking as I know you think you are. And I say this with full confidence because you're asking about getting laid on 4chan, which probably means you think you're not exactly hot.
They don't care if you have money or a car or live alone. A woman will find you attractive as long as you have assurance in your actions.

I have literally watched women be wooed by hobo-barrel fires and gas station wine. Like, serious 8/10, highly educated women.

Or if you're a statistician, have 5/10 life expectations so everything fills into a perfect bell curve

I am exceptionally well situated for a fucking boring, old person life at 26. Pension, free truck, loads of money in savings. But I'm unhappy and bored. I could throw it all into a blender for adventure and happiness, but I would probably be poor for the rest of my life. Give up on life now placated and let the fire die in a comfy boring life, or burn brightly in a crucible?
>>
>>18099047
Comfy boring life over everything. Fuck man I'd kill for that life

>>18099033
Yeah,i definitely feel like i should be further along than i am. You're right though. I'm not a NEET. I'll actively discourage that thought from now on. I'm working toward something.

And it's not like i never go hang out with them. I do. And i have fun. I mean, it's a little mentally draining hanging out with people, but i have a good time until i get all tuckered out. And then i just call it a night.

I guess what really bothers me is not having a girlfriend. I know,i know, I'm not gonna meet one in my room. But i dunno. I've been like this since my ex and i broke up. We lived together for two and a half years.

I've tried dating apps. I message everyone i find even slightly interesting, and i hardly ever get responses back. So I've stopped trying.

I'm not ugly, ill give myself that. I'm a little pudgy i guess, but i wear it well. I just don't get what I'm doing wrong. I'm just lonely i guess. And that's not gonna change unless i do something. I just haven't figured out what "something" is yet, i guess.

Thanks for listening to me whine. It made me feel a little less shitty.

If you have money and time, go and explore the world. Drive around, hike, see beautiful places. You can travel really cheap if you do it in a van - with 600-800$ month you can travel around and have fun. Do it for an extensive period of time, or once in a while.
>>
>>18099046
How do I build that courage up? I get really panicky because I don't know how to approach and I'm afraid of not knowing what to do in the off chance she pay attention to me.

I've never been on a date but I have been halfway around the world
>>
>>18099053
I dont have time, I work full time. Plus I'm in the middle of nowhere. I have to drive for 8-9hours to get to a town with more than 20,000 people. I don't like the outdoors, but I'm living it already lol.

>>18099047
Neither. You're confusing financial success with personal fulfillment. Diversify your wealth, particularly if you have over $10k in savings. Invest, buy property, rent it or build on it, turn it into profit-producing tangible assets.

Then? Paint. Travel. Learn guitar. You've already cleared a life hurdle most of the population never will, all you need to do is some safe financial moves and you can spend the rest of your life figuring out what exactly it is that makes you happy and you've never gotten a chance to try.
You can even do vagabond style >>18099053
stuff if it sounds fun. Why not? You've already got a home and money to come back to.

>>18099052
You can always stay in if you want, anon. I don't mean to say you always need to get out. Just that if you're feeling like a shutin then, well, maybe consider when you last did and give it a go.
Dating apps are spotty as hell, don't let them bum you out. I've used them since 2002 when you basically had to randomly bumble into a forum for it. It's roughly about as successful now as it was then. Consider asking your friends if they know anybody they could set you up with on a blind date. Past the age of 21 that's a pretty normal request honestly, and you'd be surprised at how excited some of your friends will get when hearing you ask.

>>18099055
Force yourself to do it once, then roll with it.
In the same way you can sort of "blank out" when you're headed into a new part of town, just to force your body to do the actions to move through it.
It works for me anyways.
Just planning "Okay I'm gunna ask her out", then focusing all my energy on just moving my legs and speaking the works, going along with whatever happens.

As for an actual date, pretend it isn't a date and you're just paying for a friends meal or zoo ticket or whatever. Talk, have a beer, pretend you're gunna go home and play smash bros or something. Then slip in a flirt whenever it comes into your head.

I am uneducated, arrogant, lazy, full-of-slackery nineteen years old person who occasionally goes to university, gets C/D for his exams putting just enough effort to get by. Mostly I am surrounded by very ambitious, disciplined individuals, who pursue their goals and seem to be happy and satisfied to a certain extent. I do feel inferior in every way possible, including social and academic life. It feels that it takes in three times more time to understand and figure things out, meanwhile the gap is still accruing with every month. My plain indifference in everything has lead me to the point I am not able to keep the conversation going if it's anything but small talk, since I have no opinions, be it sports, politics, or literature. I realized I have been maintaining my image of a guy who must know something, I was able to spill bullshit well. Nothing have been developed throughout my life, nothing sticks to me.

And this is my lifestyle, my habit. Just enough to get by. I was previously told that I would have been able to achieve a lot, have potential, I guess this is told to everyone who falls behind, to motivate.
This can't last any longer, either committing sudoku sooner or later, or accept it, embracing that fact every day.

Is there any advice for those who experience this?

I'm a success story that went bad. I finished my Bachelor degree with highest scores, my exam report changed my school's program and I won multiple competitions (in fact I won everyone except 1 where I finished second). Started applying for jobs and figured it would be an easy task, now 8 months gone by and I have no ambitions left, can't figure out why I choose to study this, feels bad to not be wanted and don't have enough energy or ambitions to start my own business. Turned my failures in job seeking into that my looks is bad, overweight but dropped 15 kilos since January. Living with parents, have no income, cry daily, feel like a failure and no ambitions left. I'm a perfectionist, which served me well in school but now I'm completely fucked up and unable to do anything because my mind immediately goes into you can't do it mode or focuses on the consequences. I don't know what I want to do anymore as I didn't have a plan B and feel like death would be incredibly sad for family but I imagine it would feel pretty good to get away from it all and stop worrying about it.

For the past year and a half I worked hard to start exercising again and go back to school to finish the degree I dropped out of. I keep losing close friends as I gain self confidence because I realised that they weren't good friends to begin with. For example one of them was with me I broke my ankle at soccer and never really bothered to ask how I was after that day. I considered that friend to be a good friend only on the basis that we share a sense of humor and a couple of hobbies. Do I make new friends or do
I just embrace being a loner? I quite like doing many things alone but it would be nice to have company sometimes. Is losing friends this way normal?
