Why are you depressed /b/ro? lets talk.

Fuck up idiot

Cause I just broke my bong

>>557663303
I said depressed, not frustrated. sorry

>>557663457
That sucks, but think about it, no matter what, what's gone is gone, you're just adding to your loss by focusing on it and letting it upset you.

Because I feel like I'm going nowhere in life and I have no idea what to do.

>>557664273
sit down.
take a deep breath.
I want to try a thought exercise, imagine if you could change anything about yourself, your life, etc. anything at all that's physically possible.

compose an emotionally compelling picture of the kind of life you want, something that would internally make you go "aw fuck yeah, this rules"

Don't hurry yourself, don't be worried if nothing comes easy, or immediate. just be easy on yourself and take your time.

get back to me once you do that.

>>557663221
The girl I would die for does not love me.

>>557664545
You do not love her. You may think you do. but you do not, what you love is the "idea" of her, the impression you have of her.

The subject perception you have of this girl, which is a result of what you experience with her, filtering through a lense composed of your prior experiences is what you love.

She is not special.
She is not unique.

knock yourself out.

I guess it is the realization that ultimately everything I do in life is pointless.

i have no friends

>>557666154
the whole idea of "point" is subjective, man made, it's an artificial concept that WE as a species came up with.

And you know what? THAT is the most liberating thing on the planet.

Tell me, would you want to go through life trapped with the knowledge that life has a certain fixed predetermined "point" or meaning, that was probably not of your own choosing?

That sounds pretty fucked up to me. Instead you have the freedom to define life for yourself. It's point is whatever you chose it to be. Why? because its YOUR life. YOUR experience

>>557666261
what kind of people do you like?
where can you interact with such people?

bumo

Because everyone in life takes everyone else for granted at some stage. Prejudice exists in everyone, people are dying in the streets whilst others walk by to their 9-5 complaining about the food they eat and the clothes that they wear. we all live for our own greedy purposes, and we are all okay with that.

>>557666889
Ultimately true altruism is non existent, anything we do, we do because we WANT to, because it makes us happy, and that is a good thing, Individual benefit, and collective benefit overlapping.

As for people's attitude. That depends on where they are in life,everyone uses their life as the benchmark, the norm, the average, and thus end up feeling that there is more to life.

>>557663221

Suffering a bit from my morale conscious, living in Japan currently, feeling bad since everyone around me says my ways are making me bad (AKA Use PC, keep to myself, be American-fag), however whenever I try to integrate, or try my best it's not enough or I'm seen as a joke or a threat.

This has happened at my home before, but now, they're going to take away my internet and I'm going to miss /b/ so much... /b/ros I'm sad... real sad.

>>557666948
who have you become?
>>557667042
your weight and attractiveness are far from permanent.
>>557667104
self contradiction is pretty normal. Think about why you feel like your girlfriend can't be trusted, question the underlying assumption that causes you this feeling.

WHY do you feel that? Why are you dissatisfied to the point where you want to bang other women?

Think about it, verbalize the specific assumptions and thoughts you have about her that lead you to this feeling.

>>557667246
She is dead anon, never coming back get on with your life.
Would she of wanted you to drink so much?

How old are you?

I guess mild depression, I don't really have any goals and I'm just living day to day because of that.

I have a hard time getting into any kind of routine, even things like sleeping, eating, showering. It's like I just forget.

I know I'd be happier if I just got a basic routine down and things would be easier if I just stuck to something for a couple weeks, even if it was like going for a 20 minute walk in the morning but I can never seem to will myself to do it.

>>557667202
what do you mean?
>>557667246
you're hurting someone she loves a lot. I won't ask you to think about yourself, I know it's hard, but seriously. What if she had someone she really loved and whose suffering would break her heart?
YOU OWE IT to her, to take care of yourself.

>>557667181

building upon that, I went to visit her yesterday in person.. She seemed so happy that I was there.. She was still wearing the Pandora bracelet with the charms on it..

She even hugged me before I reached out, and she started to cry..

Does this mean it's good.. Or bad..? Fuck man I could ruin my mind about this

>>557667329
is there any specific reason why they see you as a joke or a threat? also, WHO is going to take away your internet?

>>557667527

Also I say "I" way too much which I find silly because I don't really have any strong sense of self. Too bad I'm not a weeaboo in medieval japan where I could casually refer to myself as "this one" or whatever. I don't know how Japanese grammar works.

Soon I will kill myself. I will finally be free.

I smoked too much pot, got paranoid, and pushed everyone away. Now I feel alone

>>557667527
what you need is a specific cue to create a habit. A cue-habit-reward loop is the best way of inculcating a new habit.

Set yourself a goal like :go for a walk every morning IMMEDIATELY after waking up. and log your progress on say evernote, or in a journal.

>>557667583
there are some things in your control. some things that aren't. Torturing yourself over certain things that just cannot be controlled by you is the surest way of ensuring that you fuck up the things you actually do control.

Keep thinking ex of 2 days now is with this other guy. I love her a lot. I know she loves me too, but I know how women are.

>>557668015

She was the one thing in my life that I knew I could be happy with. I know I cannot control it if she comes back to me or not, but I am trying my best. I made a gift after a week of working on it straight for 8 hours per day.. I gave it to her yesterday, as a memory of us.

Fuck man. I just want her back. She was everything to me.

Because I've got deep anxiety for an 18 year old and money problems, lisense problems, and women problems

>>557668423
thanks. I try.
>>557668445
what do you like doing? what appeals to you? what makes you smile? it seems like you're overly defining yourself on the basis of your relationship with this one person.

I'm starting to get feelings for my best friend.
Although she lives on another continent, we tell each other everything. She just told me about her boyfriend moving from Australia to Germany to move in with her and hearing that kinda shattered me.
I never really had feelings for her too much but after hearing that, I felt really shitty. This was 10 minutes ago. Wat do advice anon?

>>557668543
She may be the one thing you could be happy with, but not the only thing.Trust me I've lost people close to me too and if you give it a chance there WILL be others.

Look at yourself, you are your own person, you have hopes, dreams, goals, a life, stop defining your simply in relation to this one person.

You seek a certain state of being, and I know you feel that this person is the only one who can give you that, but THAT is an erroneous assumptions. She isn't the only girl who can make you feel that way my friend..not by a long shot.

I literally don't know why I'm depressed. Girls I believe are out of my league take me out, I do still live with parents (24) but I have a decent job and buy all my shit + pay rent and what not, have a nice car, I get complimented on my skills all the time but I do not believe in myself at all, I do get stretches of motivation where I go back to the gym for a couple weeks and go out and do shit then lose my motivation

good food for thought. though I want to experiment with different women before I settle down is a big part of it.

>>557668734

In that situation, the only way out is to find other people or activities you love or that feeling will linger for years. Trust me.

>>557668640
I like playing vidya games. I may be overly defining but like the other anon. She won't even speak to me. The last text message she sent consisted of her saying that she had no interest in that guy and doesn't want anyone else and basically told me to go find someone else.

>>557668776
First off, self condemnation doesn't help, spending your energy on hating yourself just makes it harder.

Second, look at this thread, you're far from alone, a lot of people experience that.

I want you to think about WHAT causes you to fail, how exactly do you fail. define the process for me.

Do you gradually lose interest? get distracted? kind of just drift off where you slow down falter and stop? do you feel you just won't make it?

there is a certain underlying pattern to that "just fail" you need to get at it.

>>557668776
bitch, are you me?

>>557668430

It's kind of hard to describe accurately. I'll remember getting up, turning off any alarms I set (including multiple spaced out over 20 minute intervals and ones where you have to do a minigame or easy math problem to turn them off) but not remember being aware of doing it.

Doing things right after waking up is almost impossible for me without the intervention of another person. I've had entire conversations while I thought I was sleeping (i'm told.)

When I try to do things when I'm actually awake it's that common "i'll do it soon" mentality and then a whole day slips by and I haven't eaten, brushed my teeth, showered, etc.

I know what I'm doing wrong but can't ever seem to fix it. It reminds me of an alcoholic/addict mentality which I saw family members deal with. They know they're hurting themselves by drinking but do it anyway because they do enough mental gymnastics to justify it.

I can't speak for other people but personally it's also a complete lack of sense of "now" or living in the present.

I remember doing things and what order I did them in but I'm never really aware of myself at the moment.

I don't want to self diagnose or anything like that but it feels similar to my understanding of dissociation.

>>557668870

I understand the context of what you're saying, of course I want to move on and think that hey, maybe another girl would treat me like she did. I know that there might be, but it's hard to think about. There isn't another girl out there that I cared for this much about.

I seek a certain state of just being comfortable with someone else, someone I can cuddle with, and not have to worry about all the time. I suppose it's hard to come by with younger ages, but she was the one girl I knew that was like that. It's hard to think that women my age would be like that.

>>557664545
Feeling the same man, the girl I love cannot even bother conversing with me or even just be friends. It actually fucks me around so much and just makes me feel like absolute shit.

>>557668805
Is it loss you feel or are you judging yourself? To feel a degree of sadness at the lost possibility of a romantic relationship is not uncommon, but are you condemning yourself? does it change how YOU view yourself?
you need to add to your life, enrich it, grow to a point where some girl ceases to be that important.

stuck on a planet where I feel very alien and out of place, not much that people do is rational or logical which leaves me with very little hope for the future whilst seeing SO much room for improvement and potential that are pretty obvious and simple and agreeable with ANYONE'S basic morals, but we just fuck it all up, can see the ship going down, can only watch it sink. meanwhile the whole "be yourself" thing turns out to be bullshit as since that began (about the age of 12-13) everything I have been has been wrong and disagreeable to everyone else, from my looks to my thoughts to my likes to just about everything, never had a problem with women, or guys, found a good few cool people along the way, everything else is shit and it gets heavyer

>>557664495
Not the other guy, but...
>Would love to be at least 2 inches taller (5'4")
>Would like to be charismatic, witty, charming, enthusiastic, smart about my decisions, in control of my mood, balanced, healthy, disciplined, well-off financially, comfortable in my own skin, physically, mentally, and emotionally strong, dependable, independent, wise beyond his years, adventurous
>I wanna be that guy that makes everybody go "Holy shit! Anon's back in town?!" and "Call him up! He's always up to no good!" and not "Is he okay? When is he going out? DOES he go out?" nor "I feel kinda bad for him, I'd invite him over but...(excuse here)"
>I'm becoming more and more passive every day, it's been two weeks since I've worked out, finding it very hard to get back on, getting lazier by the minute, unmotivated, don't love myself because there is very little to love
tl;dr: Mostly uncomfortable in my own skin, no motivation, way too passive

>>557663221
I just want my dad to encourage me like a father should. But he forces himself to spend time with me, and to like me. I truly feel in his eyes I can do nothing right, or good. No matter what it is, he doesn't. If he's in a bad mood, he has to put everyone else in a bad mood, and I feel like I can't live my dreams out, or do what I want to with my life, or even be myself around him because he always critiques me, and ridicules me. I did not have him for the first 10 years of my life. But even making an effort on my end. Why doesn't he? His past is dark, growing up very abused, but why does he not let that humble him?
(I'm 18 by the way)

>>557669374
It isn't loss. She's just super flirty with me and nobody else. A few of my other mates tried to talk to her and chat her up but she didn't really have anything from them and turned a cold shoulder.
I won't be too cut up about it though. I mean, chances of us meeting are one in a million unless I actively want to fly 18+hrs just to visit her. Idk, I'm just scared that this new guy in her life might potentially replace me. Even though it's never happened in the 8 or 9 years I've known her but still.

I am depressed because I lost my girlfriend of 5 years and all of my friends because of weed.
I didn't realise what I had.
I have become dependant on weed, can't even fucking eat without smoking a bowl
Dropped out of school, starting again this september but genuinely feel like my life is at the bottom, my ex manipulates me and I have quit the gym and feel unable to learn ANYTHING. help me /b/

>>557669116
Make it easier on yourself. All of us have different abilities to cope, make the change you're working on smaller and smaller to the point where doing it is almost trivial

How about you start with ditching the alarms and just keeping track of WHAT time you get up? just write it down somewhere.

Do that for 3-4 days. Then set the EASIEST possible improvement goal you can.
Stick to that for as long as it takes. for it to become the norm Then again make the smallest possible increment.

Think of weight lifting as an analogy here. Start with as much weight as you can manage. and increase it gradually.

>>557669118
Ofcourse and understanding the context is the best start possible.
Attitudes like these take a lot of time to internalize.

To use a metaphor. lets say someone is afraid of flying. You can show him all the statistics in the world, and he's know on a cognitive, intellectual level that it's probably safe, but that fear still remains.

It's the same here. you need to avoid falling into a funk or a downward spiral. go out, meet people, exercise, read, learn, grow. I'm not saying you shouldn't feel any pain. but you shouldn't allow it to overwhelm you.

With the passage of time this intellectual, cognitive understanding will gradually "trickle" down and become something you feel, not something you know.

>>557669673
allright, That is a perfect start, and at this stage you're ahead of about 90% of the population. The vast majority of people never even think about why they're dissatisfied.

You have a clear picture of what you want. Now think about HOW you could achieve this.

What do YOU think you'd have to do, to acquire the qualities you describe? the state of being you describe?

Op what's going through the girls head when she stops talking to you? What is the best advice to handle it? A lot of other people seem to be experiencing the same thing.

Ex. My ex's last text told me that she had no interest in this person and then said she doesn't want anyone. Then she told me to go to this other girl.

my pleasure mate I'm glad to be able to help.
>>557671056
what exactly did she do? or make you feel?

>>557671094
let me preface this by saying this is just MY subjective opinion.

From what I've seen women find it far easier to find mates, than guys, do. usually they're the one's being pursued. even an entirely average will often find herself an object of desire.

As a result she has a greater sense of choice, and freedom. Think about it, if girls pursued you, the way the average girl is pursued, you'd be prone to losing interest too.

In a nutshell, they have more options

>>557671442
She did nothing big, but she never said "Good boy" to me, even if I was best in my school. Also, my parents yelled at each other the whole time, so I learned it's better not to talk about anything

>>557671415
It's a combination I guess, I've read a lot about psychology and been through a lot of crap trying to improve myself. Getting over women, trying to nail down a schedule, set a goal and achieve it. I haven't achieved all my goals by any means but I've managed to nail down a few things. and I guess I wanna help people who're in the same headspace as I was

The only girl I've ever been genuinely interested in is leaving across the country In a month and is most likely banging some dude at the pemberton music festival right now.

Sorry anon, I would really love to stay, but I gotta get some rest. Great work on the rest of the fellow anons, though. But for me this will have to be put on hold for at least 9 hours or so.
Stay safe everybody.

I think that I might have mild asbergers and adhd.. I can't concentrate on anything I do which made me fail half of my classes last year of highschool, I do have mild OCD, I have social anxiety issues so when I am with my friends who are alpha as fuck and are talking a lot to people we know a little, I'm just standing there behind and quiet and I imagine myself looking like a complete jackass.. Also thanks to this I never get a girlfriend because whenever I am at the club or something like that I'm too "afraid" of talking to girls.. Even when they come up to me and start talking, I just block them out or leave, even if I really want to talk to them. Do you have any advice?

Right.. I won't let it overrun me.

>>557671721
I understand how hard it can be when someone we care for or love, or look up to doesn't acknowledge our achievements or care about them, but you have to realize its NOT you, its them you said yourself you parents had a rocky marriage. Just because your mother was too stressed out to acknowledge all the things you've done doesn't take away their value my friend.

>>557672172
Dont' contact her. Try to busy yourself with other things. The more a girl see's that you're chasing her, the less value you have in her eyes. you have to let her come to you.

I can't self-realise because I have a lot of psychological and physiological problems and quirks. This makes me feel powerless.

>>557671948
It seems to me that you're too in your head, you've constructed a mental world where people constantly judge you and look down on you and you let that inhibit you and make you feel awkward.

It's a vicious downward cycle anon, you scare yourself, by making these constant negative self assessments and judging yourself.

This in turn leads you to be inhibited and awkard. which just makes you judge yourself even more.

1st step? STOP thinking, get out of your head, focus on the sound of the girl's voice, anything that distracts you from the chatter.

2nd DON'T focus on an outcome. your only goal should be to talk. thats it. If you talk. you succeed. DONT pressure yourself to act a certain way, or talk a certain way.

If you just relax and express yourself freely that will come automatically. you can't force it.

Makes sense. I gave her my gift yesterday, I had to ask her if she could take a picture of it, because my mother wanted one. I did not take one myself.

I had to ask, she said that; "I would prefer if we still kept our distances" when i asked about the no contact thing.

Even though we talked in person and everything seemed.. Good.

So weird. But yeah, suppose I'll let her come to me.

no social life
no social skills
no friends
bored of this life

Shitty home life/childhood, feel completely alone and useless

graduated hs in 2010, went to bu as a BMe major with pre med, broke up with first gf ever and failed out, went to community college for a year did business for a semester until going back to engineering. Doing well until cousin told me about a program in Serbia for medical school. Now I'm a second year med student with a smoking got gf but no matter what I do I can't seem to care enough to study for my upcoming finals, gained a ton of weight and sulk all day, can't seem to concentrate and I'm sure I'm about to fail out because of my laziness and lose the best thing I've had going for me and probably ever will but that's still not enough motivation for me to do anything about it and change and actually study

>>557672553
The first thing that merits mentioning is that YOU have done your part. you put in the effort. sometime's people however just aren't good enough. they do disappoint you. Every time your father judges you, you have to understand its not YOU, it's HIM, his demons. his neurosis. his past that is manifesting itself by acting this way with you.
he has a lot of baggage and HIS inability to cope with it leads to him not being able to fulfill a parental role.

I hope this makes it easier for you to understand that YOU are doing fine, and that as much as it hurts, you can't punish yourself for his inadequacy.

what kind of social life, friends and life do you want then?

Because even though i am better than most of my "friends" in every single way imaginable (besides possibly mental stability) they get everything fucking handed to them and i have to claw and bleed my way to getting it and i fucking hate it. It isn't my fault that people just like them better because they are them and i am me. God fucking damn everything i hate it.

you may know on a conscious intellectual level that this is good. but are you sure it's something you desire on a deeper baser level?

Often times we know something is good for us, but at the same time we don't find it desirable.

I can't seem to man up and continue with my life, I can't accept that things have changed and I'm stuck mentally in 2007 when everything was perfect and going for me.

i strongly believe that every depression and obstacle is in your head and can be overcame with the right mindset but it's so much harder to do

>>557673558
reframe it this way. You have clawed for it, and bleed for it, YOU weren't given any hand outs or freebies or shit like that. YOU fucking earned it, worked for it.

honestly, I feel sorry for your friends. They're reliant on hand outs that can be taken away at any time, BUT you have inculcated the inner discipline, and habits to achieve what it takes.

Who do YOU think is the cooler guy anon? the guy who works his way up from nothing and becomes a millionaire, or the dude who simply sits around and inherits it from his dad?

>>557673948
I think simply identifying the mal-adaptive thought patterns, assumptions and feelings in itself really helps with changing them. You can't fight an enemy you can't see after all.

Think about what you feel, why you feel it, what reason you have for believing it, if any, if there is another way to interpret the situation.

>>557673414
Thanks OP...
I had thought this, but just couldn't really piece it together.
I wish I could connect with him on a deeper level, but honestly...I can't. I just don't register him that way. As close as I connect to him, is that I feel he's a close or just a normal friend. Nothing more...Sometimes, just some guy.

>>557672597
add to your life. take up new hobbies, do things you enjoy that benefit you. the easiest way to reduce the important of any one person/event in your life is simply to have more going on.

>>557663221
I don't see my life getting any better any time soon, OP.

Lot's of childhood stress (fighting parents, constantly moving hosues)
Depression, depersonaliztion, and social anxiety, but can't afford a doctor or therapist.
Shitty living conditions:
Live with an emotional mom that still treats me like a child at 19.
Live with 2 younger brothers who don't respect my belonging or space.
Dad was thrown in in jail earlier this year for selling drugs, leaving us to fend for ourselves.
Shitty car, shitty stressful part-time job I hate
Constant escapism through music and video games.
That's about it, really.

Surprisingly enough, I don't have any suicide thoughts; the dream that I might be living the life soon keeps me going. No drug or alcohol use, either. Bonus.

>>557674342
I hope I was able to help atleast a little mate. The important bit is you as a person have done your duty, you manned up. stepped to the plate, and did your job. Now the ball is in his court. try to focus on building your life in order to avoid letting the negativity from your dad over power you

I feel like ive lost all my friends. College was supposed to be fun and all, but instead I find myself more alone than ever.

The guy who calls me his best friend is kind of an asshole, he constantly talks shit about everyone and I feel like its a toxic relationship.
If i said some of the things he does to me or says about others people would likely tell me to just get better friends.

I mean I guess im doing pretty well, in school. I have a kind of FWB deal going with a girl. But same thing for her, she only ever gave a shit about me when I ignored her and started talking to other girls. That keeps pissing me off

tldr; self proclaimed best friends an asshole and is dragging me down,
have girl but bitter over circumstances.
feel lonely, no real friends. wat do

>>557674116
i completely agree with you, but the problem is most people in society don't seem to. Everyone we meet instantly either takes a liking to them, or gets a hateboner for me, and i can't do anything about it. They come to me seeking solace because their GF of 1.5 years broke up with them and he thought it was true love, when the two whole fucking women i have dated ended up hating me, and being scared of me. it just doesn't make sense. it is like they were born with some inert..... thing that makes people like them, and i have an aura of hatred. the worst part is they would have failed multiple classes because of me, and i took up for them when they wouldn't be a leader. i wasn't even thanked for it. (the difference is when i play leader i am made fun of for it, but on the blue moon when all the planets align on friday the 13th when he plays leader everyone applauds him and praises him as the best coming of christ) i am sorry to take up your time wonderful anon.

this is what a lot if people tell me, but the problem is I don't desire much, and the things I do desire are simple things like an xbox to play some games or I desire to watch and read Naruto. What I desire to do with my life is the hardest question, I never had an answer to "what do you wanna be when you grow up" all I know is medicine and space interest me, space more than medicine but I also know I don't have the kind of mind to do anything in a field like theoretical physics. So what I have going for me right now is the best thing possible, when I think about losing everything I feel sick, especially when it comes to my gf, but I still have some kind of block and idk what it is

Broke up with g/f of 4.5 years almost 2 months ago. We lived together and I felt trapped so I broke it off. We both had very busy schedules and never made time for each other to hang out. We basically just became roommates. Now I miss her, and yeah, I'm depressed.

>>557671870
Why do you choose to give her so much importance? why does she mean so much to you?
don't you think you're gambling too much of your sanity and well being on the actions of this girl?

>>557674978
no need to apologize man I'm here for you.

Do you think it might be a self fulfilling prophecy at this stage? you anticipate judgment and hostility and thus unconsciously trigger it?

I also think it might be a good idea to put some distance between you and your friends anon.

>>557674652
Oh yeah, I'm also a college dropout with thousands of dollars of debt.

>>557674898
allright for starters you yourself realize you need better friends, so whats preventing that?

The girl acts this way because of the scarcity principle, the less available you are the more valuable you seem

http:// en wikipedia org/ wiki / Scarcity_(social_psychology)

As for friends, first you need to decide what kind of people you like and then place yourself in an environment where such people are found. That has the additional benefit of ensuring that you won't be forcing yourself to do something you don't like to meet people.

I knew I was being friend zoned by the women I thought I loved for 3 years, after waiting 3 years, I got out of the friend zone, we started dating, we had sex way to fast, like literally 2 weeks in, only dated month and a half, she dumped me and went back to her ex bf who treated her like shit. I made an effort at all times to make her happy, I made he laugh all the time. Though she was happy. She dumped me over a text right after we hung out. That's why I'm depressed. It was awhile ago, but that experience changed me. Now I willingly put people at a distance and flood my life with work and vidyas. No real meaningful relationships.

>>557675542
thanks man.
>>557675401
thats subjective. you should look up positive psychology
also if that doesn't help. look up transhumanism and the singularity

>>557675778
I couldn't answer the first two questions because i have no answer. I'd agree on the next point it's just a really shitty feeling knowing that she might be doing what i'm afraid shes doing.
I know shes owes nothing to me and shes not doing anything wrong because we're not in a relationship.

>>557663221
I'm hanging out on /b/ right now.
Depressing as fuck.

>>557676485
you made yourself too easily available and put too much focus on her, this in turn reduced the value you had in her eyes. this led to her treating you the way she did my friend.

Don't abandon relationships en masse, recognize what went wrong with this girl, and work to avoid it.

Also, I don't think it's entirely your fault..she seems to be somewhat..heartless to say the least

>>557676760
Do you think it's possible that because you don't have a whole lot going on in your life something that should be fairly insignificant (this girl) has taken a place of such importance?

>>557676009
that makes the most sense, but each time i meet someone new i take a different approach to how i introduce myself to them. i try to distance myself but they come to me, because i told you i play leader now, and they are the only ones that don't laugh at me when i do it. thank you, based anon, you are doing God's work and more.

I got fucked over by graduating in the middle of the recession, and my industry of choice was downsizing basically all roles for which I was qualified. This led to under employment, shitty jobs, and a hell of a lot of drinking/self loathing. I was very isolated with few friends, didn't attempt to date because I hated myself for being a failure, and basically I shut myself in with video games and 4chan for the better part of 2.5 years.

Now I actually have a real deal job, but the drinking is a persistent issue. Normalfags have no idea how addictive it can be when you drink to drown out your problems for a few years and then try to quit. I need to quit or I won't be around for another 10 years.

Broke up with the girl I loved most my whole life 2 months ago.

Can't find a job, even though I've been trying really hard to get one.

Can't stop smoking weed because being stoned just feels normal to me now and if I haven't smoked the day just feels "wrong".

I have huge bills I can not pay since I don't have a fucking job or income at all.

My college is going horrible, I'm failing classes and shit.

Life sure is beautiful :D

>>557676834
what would you rather be doing anon?
>>557677093
that's good, find out what circumstances lead to people not laughing at you and respecting you and replicate them.
>>557677147
Is there any specific cue, thought process event that consistently precedes a bout of drinking?

>>557676865
Do you think that it would have been better in some way if things didn't get rushed? I have put this memory somewhere in the void of my memories. I hope today is the day I can get over it. I feel apart. I've been this way for 2 years. I let myself go.
The self pity did ultimately nothing but numb the experience I was pitting myself through. It wasn't worth it. And I regret it.

>Is there any specific cue, thought process event that consistently precedes a bout of drinking?

yes, this is something I have recognized. I get cravings around 6-7PM, typically when I get home, basically without fail. Oddly enough, if I make it through this point of the day to, say, 9PM, the urge to get wasted passes. So the thing I've been doing is occupying myself with other things and trying to avoid being home alone. It's fucking crazy how our minds work.

The other thing that really sucks is that I was using booze basically as a sleep aid. When I first tried to quit, I basically couldn't sleep at all, because my body was so used to the hypnotic effect of the alcohol before bed.

>>557677208

I don't care about almost anything that has to do with me, no real friends, nothing really excites me at all. Got into college/uni/whatever a few days ago, don't really care. Everything is boring, and what isn't becomes so pretty quickly, and it's really annoying. I don't get it really, might be depression or something, who knows. Also the new GRID game won't fucking start. Oh also everything seems a tiny bit pointless, so I don't do much.

It's a part of the habit loop. a cue precipitates a routine which leads to a reward.

>>557677445
i don't think you should do either, either supressing it or paying too much attention to it. Erasing this sort of negativity is hard, the best bet usually is to add more value to your life to let it sort of minimize the importance of such negative experiences

>>557674652
what exactly do you mean by living the life? What exactly is it that you desire? what will you have to do to achieve it, and what sort of thought patterns and subconscious assumptions prevent you from working on it.

my grandma just died, and I feel like a really crappy grandson because last time I saw her was a month and a half ago. she got Alzheimer's 2 years ago and last year she didn't know who I am anymore, that discouraged me from visiting her as often and now I feel so shitty

>>557679175
alcohol addiction is a serious issue I'm afraid anon, I'd have to spend a lot of time talking to figuring out what's going on in your life before I'd be able to hand you a list of changes you should make.

At the moment though I'd recommend putting some distance in between you and those who drink around you, try gradually scaling back the drinking slowly enough that withdrawal symptoms or cravings don't kick in and do the same for your interaction with women.

I think you should focus on the smallest bit of progress you can make consistently, reduce how much you drink by just ONE percent, every two days, and within a little over 6 and a half months you're down to zero.

>>557679435
I think personally the first step would be to just sort of ease up on your self and let go of this sense of obligation and being forced where you feel like "YOU HAVE TO" do something paradoxically that often retards progress.

second you need to look for small barely noticeable changes you can consistently implement in your life.

Start with spending just one minute a day working out and add a minute everyday.

The issue here is homeostatis, the moment your body adjusts to a certain way of being, it'l instinctively resist change on every level. YOU need to ensure that the change is so small and gradual that, that discomfort and resistance doesn't kick in.

What kind of anxiety are we talking here? Are you anxious around other people? or in certain situations or is it a generalized worry that's going on all the time?

When you say barely interact, is this connected to the aforementioned anxiety or is it due to another feeling? lack of interest/boredom etc

those things can be changed

well ass odd as this may sound, you are motivated, just not to do what you want to do, what you mean is that you're motivated to be passive, than to take action.
Why? because usually people don't have a clear ideal of where they need to be going, and how to get there.
an emotionally compelling future, and a roadmap of how to get there is what seems to be lacking

>>557666436
Thats actually something i've thought about, people always becoming famous and rich and feeling fulfilled, meanwhile i feel fulfilled when im out of people's minds, so yeah this faget aint lying

Mainly it's two things:

#1 - Table tennis conversations. Like it's been said in Fight Club - nobody ever listens. What's worse, if you're talking to a woman, she doesn't even need you to reply to continue talking; she'll turn the table tennis into squash and use you as the wall to bump her silly rants off you.

#2 - People thinking that they're special and that every person other than them is a motherfucking moron. That's actually pretty damn amazing, considering that my observations prove that people are mostly all the same and generally smarter than you would expect.

she is the heroin of my story, i dont even exist in hers

>>557678929
My desire is to have a life of my own, to start fresh and not be dependent on someone else for my happiness. Recurring fantasy of having my own house, my own car, and imagining what I would do for a living.

My thought pattern is wildly pessimistic yet somehow realistic. I just know that no matter how much I try, no matter how much money I can at a job, it will all go towards supporting my 'new' family. At least, for a long time. Whenever I seem to be on a roll, making progress, something happens to set me back a few notches. Not having anyone to talk to about all of these things is probably the worst part. Not really on speaking terms with anyone in my immeadiate family, besides my brothers, who can offer me no practical advice. I have a few close friends, but I am so reticent about my personal life, that they don't know much about my life. They didn't even know I was dating someone until after we had broken up months later. I don't really have the financial means to go out and do new things, so I just listen to music all day and play video games.

>>557681145
Do you have any suggestions based on this list of current settings: I have a perfect backyard, entire surrounded by trees and its shaped like a track and field track, I worked out for like 2 weeks then just stopped, no real reason. I lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks. And I stopped. How do I keep myself motivated such as I did like 2-3 months ago? I stopped drinking pop so consistently, MAYBE 1 a day, I just fucking snack, for no reason, I'm never hungry, I need an oral fixation, I've been trying gum but it isn't the same.

>>557681763
No probs thanks for the response. Yes it's generalised anxiety but mostly social. I have diagnosed avoidant personality disorder so any sort of interactions with people make me catatonically nervous. That's what is making the job thing even harder because try and find a job that doesn't involve people at all.

>>557682153

You have to want it for working out. Find something you enjoy doing for exercise and do it, don't let yourself bitch out, just do it, no excuses.

As for the snacking, change your snack to something more healthy, maybe some fruit or veggies. You still get to eat, but you get something out of it. I find a few grapes or berries are good for this, pop a few and move away.

>>557682709
And really the last issue I have is some sort of sleep disorder, I'm unable to become tired, and once I do get tired after about 22-30 hours, I can maybe

i'm depressed because i'm transsexual, 37 years old and live as a man and fucking hated it all my life. now i'm too old for the transition and i hate myself so much for being this cowardly and for running away from it all my life. i hope this is a valid reason.

have a nice sunday everybody.

Dysfunctional family.
I'm now the only one in the family stuck living in the same house as a monster of a mother that's a psychopath.
She's a control freak with a very childish and tunnel-minded attitude. Looks down upon any form of independent thinking, ambition etc. Plays a lot of mind games. Manipulative. Doesn't put in any effort with any of her family and hasn't seem them (Siblings, parents) for years. Also, she screams in her sleep which is weird.
I never feel comfortable visiting my dad. He beat me numerous times as a kid. Simple man and very aggressive.
Always feel a great pressure to get my own flat/house, but this requires a steady income. Despite having plenty of experience and gaining qualifications over the years, I'm getting nowhere.
Still stuck in a zero-hour contract job which has barely offered me any work this year.
Less than a handful of friends, but most people only contact me when they need something doing, such as technical help.
No girlfriend for around 5 years, and no sexual contact in around 4 years.
Struggle to emotionally connect with people. I put on a fake 'persona' in public and I don't know how to behave naturally in bad situations (deaths, etc)

>>557681817
where do you usually meet people?
>>557682153
yes, download "convict conditioning" its one of the best bodyweight exercise regimes out there.
secondly often times we kind of end up faltering and failing because we don't have a specific trigger that prompts us to work out.

Make a commitment to yourself to workout FIRST thing in the morning, right after you wake up, or something along those lines so you have a very specific situation where you KNOW you have to work out. minimize the need to think it over.

My best friend has struggled with that for a long time. Go to a doctor and find out what is wrong, it can vary depending on the person. He had melatonin issues. You can also try just taking some OTC melatonin pills.

Also, do you use a lot of caffeine products? If you do, relax with them or cut them out for a while, see if your sleep patterns change.

>>557675350
surely there's more you can do with space than theoretical physics?

additionally you again seem to be stuck in a negative spiral where you seem to feel increasingly helpless and passive.

start small, make small incremental changes to consistently progress.

Also think about WHAT is keep you from progressing, whats holding you back. I know its hard to pin it down but give it a shot

>>557683249
is it biologically too late to transition or do you just feel too old? I'm sorry for my ignorance.

>>557683415

Not OP here: Breakup with her. It's already over, or maybe it never was to begin with. She probably doesn't see it as a "real" relationship.

This thread is a fairly good example of number one, man.

We're all here professing our woes, our dejections, and sitting on our asses as everyone else does the same.

Some of us care, some of us are discussing these with other people, but some of us just need to get things off of their chest; and if you want me to be honest...

I think that's pretty beautiful.

>>557683415
cut contact. The more you invest in this, the more it's going to hurt since you two seem to have fundamentally different idea's of where you want your relationship to go.

i doubt i'd pass as a woman even after hormones. my body was on (natural) testosterone the last 25 years. obviously it's a male body now. therefore people would regard me as dude in women's clothes and treat me like a freak. not that i can blame them. but i just want to lead a calm quiet life, i don't want everybody to give me stares when i'm outdoors. fuckfuckfuck.

That's hard though, guys... because we are close, even if she doesn't love me. She has told me more about things that anyone in her entire life.

I am the only person she can connect with emotionally and philosophically, and the only person outside of her family that knows that she isn't a guy.

I know this, and have verifiable information, but it confuses me so much.

All of that is true, so it's just... why?

I got really, really close to fulfilling one of my fantasies; and just barely missed it - timing, an international flight... I don't even want to think about how close I was to this. It's not even that "crazy" a fantasy; it's just something I've never experienced and I've started to obsess over it for that reason; like fate is keeping it away from me and at this point the relief of finally having it happen would be even better than the actual pleasure I expect from it...

I was so close; I wish I'd never even gotten so close because feeling like I just barely missed out on it is so much worse than that grim resignation that it'll probably be years before I experience something close to what I've wanted.

>>557683351
I have to support the family I live with. I don't have enough financial security to leave and be on my own. However, I still live with my mother and brothers and it's not as if I can just keep all of my money. It will have to go towards gas or groceries for the house.

>>557684195
Because people can be confusing, illogical and self contradictory, often times we fuck up the best thing we have going for us.

At the very least you need to put emotional distance between the two of you anon.

>>557684195

Sounds like she isn't in the same place as you relationship wise, find another girl and you can keep talking to her as well. Go to online dating if you don't meet a lot of women day to day. Even if you just have a few casual dates, it will give you something else to do.

>>557684328
but does it ALL have to go to supporting them? surely you can save a little?

Hey man, not OP here, just call me River, it's my name.

I think you need to take a step back, relax, and close your eyes for a moment.

I want you to imagine that it's cold everywhere, the kind of cold that just chills your nerves. It's winter, and you're in a cozy cabin on a mountainside. You're nuzzled in a warm blanket, sitting by a heartwarming fire.

I want you to look at yourself now; I want you to say that you are you, and despite all appearances, you're a great person. You're a great human being, and your mien is of little quarter.

Relax, bubba; the times are a-changin'.

>>557684697
>your mien is of little quarter
that's what i kept telling to myself me the last 25 years. unfortunately suppressing my feelings doesn't work no more for me.

but thank you very much for being so nice to me...

>>557683351
School, clubs, football games and chess tournaments. Oddly enough, it's the last of the places I mentioned that I enjoy the most because talking nerd stuff immediately give me an equal... how to say this... platform of communication with others.

I'm really struggling to like people I meet, perhaps because I'm too much into rational thinking and can't relate with their emotional issues? Not sure though, many people sound quite boring and annoying despite my best efforts at listening and comprehending them.

>>557683579

you know I think it'd be a good idea to keep in touch with people who are facing similar issues. having someone to talk to and rely on would definitely be nice

The one person that I was attracted to both physically and mentally for years does not want a relationship, but instead, wishes to remain friends.

It hurts real bad.

>>557685526
Well, now that I think about it, it's really mostly people of my age I have problem with. Way older people or kids seem quite okay to talk to. It sometimes feels like I was born in a wrong generation.

I feel liek a burden to everyone i know. i used to hang out with this group of freinds, but because they all live all over, and my city has crappy buses the relationship kinda fell to talking on fb and whatsapp sometimes. for 2 years their friendship strengthend and they became really good friends. i still want to be they're friend and i meet with them sometimes, but everytime I feel really awkward and like nobody wants me there. they invite me though, so it's hard to think that for real, but i still get that feeling because im quiet and tend to listen more than to talk. i sit there and not talk a whole lot, and feel crappy about having nothing interesting to say. i feel like im contributing nothing to anything im ever invited to.

I can empathize with that really hard, man. I think you need to do a bit of soul-searching. You should find some good, philosophical easy-listening stuff, and have at it; think about where your life has been, thank about where you'd like it to go. Think about how you can get it there, and remember that you have people that will support you on your way there, Anon.

>>557686518

Augh it hurts more to put it all into words...

Basically having a girl "dress up" for me, just for me, in a sort of sexy halloween-y or lingerie outfit, specifically something shiny like PVC, or if I'm unbelievably lucky, latex. Half of it is the tight, shiny material, half is the fact that she's gone to the effort and cares enough about making me happy to do it for me (something I've found lacking - sex is always a fun, mutual experience, but I'd really like it once to be a special thing she "did" for me because she really wanted to make me *happy,* going out of her way to pander to my deepest desires)

Anyway, I had a sort of fwb relationship with this girl (we'd recently met, I was blown away by how gorgeous she was; supermodel body and sexy face, and for some reason she went for me at a party and we started hooking up every day we had the free time to) I was riding my bike, having made plans to see her later, and I got hit by an SUV. pic is my shoulder blade. So I'm in the hospital bed, and she messages me (I hadn't shared my fantasies or anything at this point) that she's in a latex naughty nurse costume, having just made chocolate strawberries to feed me once I was released. The whole ambulance ride, being hit by a car, everything, felt instantly worth it. Holy shit my dream just knocked on my door and I wasn't even expecting it.

Hospital keeps me for too long; I don't get to her place; and timings mean we either don't have the privacy to act it out, and we have a little falling out over what the relationship means to me (I begged for that damn outfit, and she thought I was just using her for my fantasy, so I even wound up screwing myself over...)

And a few weeks later I take a flight to a different country I'd known about (part of the stress on our relationship)

I just... that one night, if I'd gotten released and made it to her house... that's #1 on my bucket list. Banging a hot-ass, 10/10 chick had been #1 until she fulfilled it.

Cheers, Anon, I'll see if it makes me feel any better. Though, soul searching may be a challenge...

>>557686856

Unfortunately, it does seem to happen to all of us at some point in another, but the sheer fact that we seemed so compatible for many years made it hurt so much.

>>557687054

I'm just gonna throw it out there, it may not be every girl's type, but I'm lankier than that guy and I'm sleeping with a 10 who likes "my type" because she's been traumatized by being taken advantage of by a guy who was well-built and muscular, so she feels safe with someone she could probably overpower. Also really fun in bed.

> I constantly feel like I'm being watched, like I'm always on the radar.

> Highly charismatic but can't control myself especially when conversing with girls.

Crudely put, but the intended message is pretty accurate.

Be strong, Anon; I have faith.

Forget women. I just want real friends.

Don't get me wrong, I have "friends". Lots of them. We hang out, get drunk, whatever. But we're more like friendly people rather than friends. We don't ever talk about anything remotely serious. Whenever I try to talk to any of them with anything serious, they shun away from it or move back. And it isn't just me, it's all of them. It's like no one I meet actually wants to be proper friends, you know, talk to each other, tell them how you feel, listen to them and their problems. Genuine friendship.

Worst part about it, it's the same with my family. My brothers, my sisters. All of them. It's like everyone's a fucking robot and instead of having real kinship they'd rather have a bunch of fucking numbers on their Facebook pages, as if the more numbers you have, the happier you are.

I have over 30 people I regularly talk to, not including my family and people I hang out with, and I still feel lonely. The only person I ever connected to was my ex girlfriend, who died in a car crash.

Am I alone on this? Or am I just crazy?

I just don't understand how people can live like this.

im depressed because the world is going to be uninhabitable in a short few years from fukushimas inevitable super melt down of all the spent fuel rods stored precariously in reactor building #4, while allready 10s of thousands of people in even america have died from highly airborn radiactive iodine isotopes and are allready developing cancer, right at the same time as the human population of 10 million is currently ticking at over 2 sieverts which if u know anything is like standing in a fire in terms of cancers.

were all going to die, yet we still live our lives like normal, its easy for mainstream media to convince the mass of something they dont want to believe allready.

a truly tragic event.

>>557689040

This is fairly normal. Most of the people I people I talk to or hang out with are like this, but a few close friends are open.

Generally this is the difference between acquaintances and real friends. As for the family, not sure, maybe they just don't like facing anything tough.

Usually deep conversation comes with trust, people are always afraid to go into deep conversations cause they leave them possibly vulnerable and open to being made fun of or exploited by that information.

It generally gets worse as you get older, 31 now and I only have a few really close friends as most are busy with families or going back to school or moved.

Well for starters I'm failing most of my college classes, working a minimum wage job, still living with my mother, i feel like my life is going nowhere and i'm too chickenshit to do anything about it because of social anxiety. I also feel like I'm going to die alone because I wronged the one girl who loved me to the point where she never wants to speak to me again and she's blocked me from all forms of contacting her, not that I would anyway, but I still cant get her out of my mind. I was prescribed prozac for the depression but i dont take it because really what's the fucking point? Most days I dont even care enough to get out of bed or even take care of myself. Feels bad man

This is ridiculous fear mongering. Nuclear still has one of the best safety records of any widely used power generation. Coal kills tons of people, coal ash is radioactive and easily inhaled.

If people actually embraced nuclear like France does, it is safe as can be. The problem is outdated safety, no budget, too much red tape, etc.

Also, radioactive iodine isotopes, huh? Iodine is what they use to counteract radiation poisoning. Do you mean cobalt?

>>557689663

Start small, find something like running, swimming, biking, lifting or a sport that you enjoy and do it for a while. Just get up and around to get yourself active. Eventually you will make it a routine and you will start to feel better, even if only a little.

Once you make that one step, analyze the next small thing you can change and so on till you get to where you want to be.

because this...excuse any mistakes made...

my gf of over 2 years broke up with me about 5 months ago...she was 17 and i was 20 at the time we got together.
i was her first bf, her first guy she slept with. the whole relationship had nothing what a normal relationship didn't have, like normal fights etc. but not a lot, only because she overreacted about nothing quite often and i said her to calm down once in a while and don't take things too serious.
well, about a month ago she stood at my door, said she couldn't do it anymore, needed time for herself. i asked her if there was another guy, she denied twice.
needless to say, i was kind of curious, thought that she lied there. she isn't the cheater type at all, cute, caring and really beautifull. i always told her to put on as little make-up as possible, because to me she was much more beautiful without it, and i loved her brown eyes.

well, the first thing that came to my mind was her best guy friend whom she had dancing lessons with and talked about nearly everything.
i know , why date a girl who has close guy friends? well, blinded by love, i trusted her when she said " its only my friend, nothing will happen"
i should soon discover how wrong i was...

i confronted her 2 weeks after the breakup with facts i had no proof, asked her if she was together with her guy friend and i hit the nail on the head.
she told me they were together and tried to blame me for her actions, saying that i wasn't there for her etc etc., usual blame shifting bullshit.
for me, she was the only one, even after over 1.5 years we both had that inical feeling of " i love you " that you just have in the beginning phase...
her parents got divorced cause her father found another women while he was married with her dad.
>cont.

>>557690047

another sheep of the masses following what big daddy tells him on the T.V

it will be okay.


P.S, i never said nuclear isnt the only way humans could have survived climate change from the greenhouse effect, but fukushima fucked it up perfectly, and unfortunately theres no second chance when it comes to such quantities of radiation release into the atmosphere, go open your mind to the truth, its time to grow up and find real fact from real people.

>>557690759

her mother blamed my ex for it and my ex cried a lot cause of that. i was there for her, we talked, i told her eerythings gonna be alright, held her in my arms etc.
last week she showed up to bring me some things, asked how i felt, i said, beeing still upset, "not that greath huh?", should've said something like " good" but well.
she then tried to blame me again, saying "if our relationship wasn't that broken i wouldn't have broken up", which is a blatant lie but alright.
i just let her talk, just said "yeah right" occasionally and walked away without a word.

why didn't she just straight up tell me, when she broke up , that there was another guy? why not spare me the pain, knowing that idiot of a guy is now plowing my ex? its not fair to be treated like some replacable toy, when you have lived through the ups and downs of the other partner.

its not like im crying , done that , no reason to now, its jjust, i can't really understand her actions. we could've worked it out if she wasn't that focused on having sex with her best guy friend, thats what im thinking.
we messaged and talked on the phone nearly daily for over 2 years, we said each other if something bothered us.

Honestly, I want money... I want to be able to afford things.

Don't mistake this for yachts and lambos, I mean comfortably be able to travel to europe andsee things. Meet new people and enjoy life, not just sit here and wait to die.

Invest in shit and start my own business. After a while I can just walk around and give people money or things and feel like I did something.

I'm depressed because I have a gay brother and my family hates him because of that. I got bullied from 1st grade to 5th grade. My parents fight all the time. I havent seen my brother in 5 years. Dad keeps nagging on me because he thinks im gay. Calls me fat, ugly, "I know why you don't have friends" (I have friends).

I would like to get into the whole stock market thing, that shit is so interesting... Alas I have no idea where to start nor do I have the money to do so.

Again, I am not trying to be wolf on wallstreet billionaire, I just think its interesting and would be fun. If I could make a good amount of money with that I would be happy. Work at home pretty much with a computer and be able to do the things I enjoy.

Generally since it's virtually impossible to beat the markets consistently, you should invest in an index fund..I would recommend vanguard, since their fee's are some of the lowest in the world.

On the basis of this, you can expect about a 4% real rate of return after counting taxation and inflation, etc.

I would recommend figuring out how much exactly you need per month/year, and creating a plan to work towards it mate

My only issue is actually getting the funds, I think I have like 600 bucks to my name currently, no car, live with parents, and I am 19. I do try to save what I can but I don't make that much.

Whenever I see live mixed with life
>never had a friend in my LIVE FROM NEW YORK, IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT!

It's funny because you can't even syntax your feels properly.

>>557694387
why do you feel it's too late to learn how to have one now? is there any specific reason for this sentiment or is this something you just assumed?

>>557694437
You have to understand that despite ANYTHING they say, the only one fucked up here is them. not you. They have issues and they take out their frustration on you anon

I'm 27 and just started seeing an amazing guy who i really feel i could see myself settling down with. Over the past week or so he's been making it clear that he's become bored of me. I know it happens, but it still hurts.

this might help too

I have no job, no money (all I have to my name is $9), I can't afford my anxiety medication so I can't really work, because I have a panic attack every time I go to a job interview, I get my water source from my neighbor's house, my house is being paid off by my grandmother's pension, I can't afford to have any electronics running other than my computer and refrigerator, and all the food in my kitchen is bread and butter, with ramen in the pantry.

>>557695440
looks like we need to work on your anxiety first then anon.
What kind of anxiety are we dealing with here? social? generalized? is there something else you're afraid of

>>557695412

Im just really clueless and I find it hard to trust people.


Even the idea of getting an financial adviser freaks me out, I am not jewish but I act like it with my money.

>>557694718

Start working towards a job that pays. Programming always pays well. IT in general pays pretty well and doesn't require college, just a drive to learn and a few certs.

Other option, get into marketing, it is a generally easy field and pays well. You still have a lot of years ahead of you. I restarted my career at 26, so you are ahead of me at this point, I was a complete fucking burnout and now I have my own house, good job, good pay and life isn't bad.

I thought i would get a friend when my family moved into a new city but i didn't then i thought i could get a friend when the classes got mixed in school but nope, then I thought i might get a friend when I started University but this didn't work out for me aswell. I am 24 now and i never had a friend in my life >>557694915
I am German btw English isnt my native language and the live life thing isnt that obvious.
I am socially awkward but not in a ~cute and adorable~ way. So people who start talking to me get creeped out pretty fast plus i dont understand a lot of things other people juts kind of do without thinking social rules. I spend most of my life alone and i juts constantly break them and give people a negative impression of myself. So i have lost all hope. feelsbad

>>557695710
I would recommend you listen to people who
1)have nothing to gain from you.

2)are actually doing what they advise.

>>557695745
>>557695882

Fair enough, I appreciate it.

>>557695864
well, why not find people in a similar situation? post in /soc/ threads? go to meetup com meetings, etc

I understand how hard social anxiety can be, you need to question the underlying assumptions and thoughts that cause it, while simultaneously gradually exposing yourself to social situations

Every time I finish watching anime I'm depressed what to do?

>>557696304
Do you find yourself overly identifying and involving yourself with the situations depicted within the anime.

There are so many social rules which dont make sense if you look at them from the outside and i am constantly afraid to offend people since i do it so often. Last year I talked to a girl in Uni class and she was kind and she asked me if I wanted to get a cup of coffee with her after class but I cant drink coffee (medical reasons) So i got freaked out and said i need to think about it I then called my mum to ask if its socially acceptable to drink something different than coffee when being asked to get coffee and she said yes so I returned to the girl and said yes i would like to grab a cup of coffe... but she changed her mind and didnt want to go so i guess i took to long answering her.

>>557696285
thanks for the advice I really appreciate it I will try this

>>557696606
maybe ;_;

>>557696647
you should simply think if whether what you're doing is inconveniencing/harming someone else.

in this case for instance, choosing your own drink, it doesn't affect her. so it's not socially inappropriate.

Halfway through the thread
Gotta say OP
You the MVP
Seriously thank you for giving out so much advice for basically nothing but wasting your own free time
Props to that!

>>557697464
I like being able to help people man. This shit is so common I don't think everyone should have to bash their heads against the same stuff again and again trying to figure it out when the answers are easily available, you know?

>>557696927

Don't get overly invested in anime. It has nothing to do with real life. Treat it like any other piece of entertainment and don't romanticize it.

>>557697873
Well thanks anon.

>>557698391

Yup, just remember it is all idealized TV, nothing real about it, just someone else's romanticized version of what is in their head. Not to say I don't enjoy some of it for the entertainment and a good story, but it isn't magically better than other forms of entertainment.

People tend to romanticize other cultures and things on TV like that when they lack an identity and culture of their own. Similar to how other cultures try to romanticize american culture, same shit, different place. All in all, we all have the same issues.

We have various reasons for our depressions, but most of us have been accompanied by the feeling of meaninglessness and repetitiveness of life. With our existence reduced to schemes and constant crossing between false dreams and disappointing reality each passing day being as blank as all the others, it's no wonder we feel like killing ourselves.

>>557683261
your first priority should be financial independence..we have to go step by step here. the only way you can change the other things is if you move. the only way to move is to be financially independent.

Think about it anon, what are the things you can do to increase your income?

I recently realized how alone I actually am
have only 5 people I can really call friends but hardly talk to
just recent girlfriend would hardly put any time into talking/hanging out: both realized we were better off as friends with benefits
even though friends, still rarely talk
Video games don't amuse me as much anymore

The World is designed to make you conform and dedicate your body and mind to construct faceless structures, granting you entertainment and distractions you should base your existence on in return... If you were born in a 3rd world country, your purpose as the bottom of the pyramid would be sustaining the 1st/2nd world by sewing clothes, mining minerals and other kinds of things little starving negros do, which are basically fundaments of this machine... But you were lucky enough to be born in the 1st/2nd world, so your purpose is to have so-called "FUN". At least it should be if you're a "normal" obedient product of society...

I have some cousins that were in the same situation. My aunt is a sadistic psychopath and fucked them up for life. They became reliant on her and they couldn't break away from their mother because they didn't accept that she was poisonous. My one cousin fell to pieces and just barely started putting something together in her mid 30s. Other one is also now holding it together after he removed her from his life and concentrated on his wife and kids.

Get away from her at all costs. It isn't her fault, but she can't be fixed. Distance yourself from her, don't instigate or communicate at all. It will be tough, but it is the only option to save yourself.

As a high functioning sociopath myself, the lower functioning of us will basically eat you alive. It sort of runs in my family on both sides. I know you may question my motives, but since I have nothing to gain from you, I have no reason to lie. I am not pathological in my lies, only when they serve a purpose.

As for the fake persona, if you fake anything long enough, you eventually become it. I have no idea what I am really like as I tend to take on the persona of whomever I am around. The older I get, the less I know about who I was.

Start fixing yourself, find a roomate if you can and a job to support yourself and live on your own, but don't stay around that person or she will take you with her.

Think for a while about how does life of a typical drone who doesn't possess self-awareness look like. They spend most of their lifetime on work which usually doesn't present much value to them, living only for their sacred Friday night, when they can watch TV/play video games/drink beer with their friends/browse social networks/try to "bang hot chicks"/watch funny cat videos... Then comes hated Monday, and going through the work week, kept alive in hope of reaching Friday night again... Sometimes they spend money they accumulated on the newest car/5-star hotel trip/Thai hookers or similar "dreams" which are as high as their life ambitions go... Would you say that all these things are the reason you're alive?

>>557699762
explain the term "high functioning sociopath" please
