I need advice from fellow intellectuals. I know that many people,

>>8637117
you sound like you're lazy, autistic and arrogant. that's a pretty lethal combination of traits it's unsurprising nobody wants to be around you oh you don't want to be around them my bad.
while common interests obviously make it easier to befriend somebody, it has nothing to do with the bonding process.
really, try not being a insufferable sack of shit, you sound like a boring and annoying person to be around it's really no surprise you have nobody in your life.

>>8637138
Hmm, this wasn't helpful at all. Thanks for the laugh though around right here, I like the way you worded that.
>it's unsurprising nobody wants to be around you oh you don't want to be around them my bad.

>>8637117
thanks for the blog post

>>8637117
>Something fun and intellectual to do everyday
Analysing speech quirks.
You like to star sentences with "So".

Don't be creepy anon.

>I'm smart but lazy the thread
If you're so goddamn smart and intellectual why can't you stop yourself from being lazy?
>inb4 cuz of my nihilism
A life philosophy doesn't determine your fucking intelligence.

>>8637117
Sounds like assburgers to me.

>>8637199
Idk how to explain myself, let alone in a way that sense to other people. So I'll just go with that's the way things are. I don't think you can divide someone entire being into smart and dumb, I don't think that's how brains work.There's nuance, dude... oh god why am I even trying lol. I don't expect reasonable responses, I'm just bored.

We're all superfluous men these days OP.
>I've tried
>my only options
You've limited yourself already. If you want a real answer you have to drop the 'only' and "I tried but it didn't" because all you are doing is replaying past events in your head not trying to 'go and see' what reality has to offer.

You'll see eventually that I'm right, whether you want to or not.
Life will come for you.

>>8637213
Your argument comes down to: I don't feel like trying anymore, therefore I must be intelligent; I can't relate to other people, therefore I must be more intelligent than other people.
Please explain how these claims axiomatically prove you are intelligent.

>>8637232
Okay... but it's still boring.

>>8637213
are you homosexual?
every single homosexual i've met acts like a bitchy woman who thinks the world should do something for them.

>>8637117
>I don't think that there's any way that I would meet interesting people doing some low qualification job

Just face it, if you can't go to college, you're one of them plebs yourself, so your post essentially ends up at some sort of projected self-loathing. Stop that and just engage with people, anyone, they're more interesting than many texts dealing with 'the human condition' or whatever.

Engage philanthropic agenda. Raskolnikov is banal anyways.

>>8637289
I'm not even going to tell you my sexual orientation, because that question is ridiculous.

>>8637296
i suspect you are but either way you're acting like a massive faggot

>>8637117
>I am confined to basically just reading and posting on the computer all day.

I'm going to be nice and give you honest advice.

This right here is 90% of your problem.

You need to throw away your computer. Your brain is spoiled by the auto-stimulation of the computer. That's why you don't get joy out of conversations, why you feel like something is missing. You've fucked yourself by interacting with an artificial reality all the time, just as much as drug addicts fuck themselves over.

>>8637355
This could actually be a lot of the problem to be honest, anon. I tried turning off my computer to read a book today. I got about 30 pages in, and then I was like, holy fuck I just want to check my news feed, go check for replies on youtube, see the status of the order of the book I ordered and see if first edition hard covers of classic books had any good deals on amazon, etc. I tried unplugging today, but to be honest I feel a deep sucking emptyness inside of me without the computer.

>>8637364
>but to be honest I feel a deep sucking emptyness inside of me without the computer.
which you should, that's what makes you want to go back to reality.

>>8637397
You know though, just turning it off is like trying to just put the heroin in a corner and not touch it. I've read junky, I know this. And I obviously can't just throw away my computer, that would be fucking ridiculous lol. Hell, if I were to take classes online I would need a computer.

> just turning it off is like trying to just put the heroin in a corner and not touch it.

You make your challenges appear harder than they actually are so you don't have to feel bad about failing.
You have done this in almost every one of your posts.

>>8637364

Yes, anon, but after being without a computer for a week or two you feel much better. After six months you don't even miss the computer.

I haven't had computer/internet for three years now at home. I do still surf, obviously, at work. It has improved my life in a lot of ways, mostly because I want to do all sorts of things besides sitting around by myself. You brain at first panics and you feel shitty, then your brain gets used to the idea and you start taking pleasure in other things.

>>8637117
yo op I'm in the same boat, needing constant stimulus from the computer all day, switching from porn to youtube to liveleak to chan/reddit, to gore, to porn, to goodreads author quotes, facebook feed etc etc. all day everday,,,,, i think you should stop analysing it....why does it bother you? you should be grateful and content because you are in a position of 'leisure' many people seek such a state

>>8637402
remove the computer from the environment or remove yourself from the environment the computer is in if you really can't ignore the presence of it.
once you start getting satisfaction from other things it won't have as much of a hold on you.

>>8637402
>reading junky
>understanding addiction
Top fuckin kek, m8

>>8637402

>obviously can't just throw away my computer, that would be fucking ridiculous lol.

Why is that ridiculous? As recently as your own childhood most people didn't own a computer, assuming you're in your 20s. You can get by just fine without one.

I guess you're kind of screwed by being in online classes. But you can find other ways.

But there's nothing crazy about throwing away your computer.

I'm convinced the reason even the brightest modern students are such mediocre readers is because they're constantly interacting with their computers or their ipads or their smartphones.

>>8637435
Idk, I guess I just imagine adventures outside of the computer. Going to secret intellectual clubs where we have incredible conversations, access to kinky sex underground societies outside of the norms of morality, an interesting life outside of the bullshit of the computer where my interactions are based on real time face to face stuff, instead of dealing with the sort of bullshit that I have to deal with online that I would never have to deal with irl. Aka the sort of rudeness you see in this very thread, and everywhere else online really, where you're subjected to being annoyingly attacked all the time.

>>8637451
>outside of the norms of morality
okay I made that sound seedy and illegal, but I didn't mean it like that. I just meant weird sex.

>>8637451
i think you are just 'imagining' and maybe romanticising life outside the computer, but ultimately you will be disillusioned or disappointed, i suggest psychadelics, look up a dmt beginner tek, or go shroom picking or read some quatrains of omar khayyam

>>8637481
I just wish they would legalize weed so I could become a pot head and get it over will. I'm just afraid it would make me go schizophrenic because I already sort of feel like I'm losing my mind when I get really tired, and I literally hallucinate sounds when I wake up half asleep in that half dream half awake half asleep stage. It's like, this weird clicking that disturbingly is always the exact same noise.

Hmm OP I kinda had a similar problem and I had the same attitude towards it as well.

However, what I have realized is that sometimes I am the boring one, and even though I don't always enjoy listening to people talk about their feelings and lives, when you have something in common with them - you hate the same professor, you work together, you love the same bands, etc. - when you share and listen to each others' thoughts and opinions on this subject (and if you are not autistic yourself) you will start to get along. I realized there's time and place for intellectual activities, but it should be treasured and precious, rather than a part of your routine. Talk to people more, OP. Take up some hobbies, meet new people (even though it's quite difficult) and put yourself out there.

I think it takes becoming a 'normie' to have friends and enjoy life. And you should not regard yourself as a better and "higher" human being than the rest because there is honestly a lot of positive things that you can learn and take from other people that.

keep your head up homie g

>>8637667
normie is such a bullshit blanket term used to describe anybody who seems to be enjoying life. it's like 4chan autists don't realize that you can dislike assholes and still enjoy life.

>>8637704

yeah, I used it here because I thought OP would be able to relate to it haha. i agree with you, though, it's rather condescending in its nature

>>8637667
Yeah. I think I have become a much more chill person in my time away from school and parents and what not, living on my own. I like what you said, and I think you wrote it very eloquently, you have good writing skills. I was just talking with some person on facebook who I'd never met before, and I noticed how smoothly my replies were. If only I could somehow translate that sort of coolness to every day life, that feeling of not fearing what comes next, but just going with the flow and just saying what you feel, and not feeling like your life hangs in the balance of what you said and if you say something wrong a big dark existential void lays in front of you ready to fall into. I got come cute dick and ass picks out of the deal too. And I think that's ultimately what I want, is not only the hottest dick and ass, but also just good friends who I feel comfortable with who feel comfortable with me.

I just wish there was some way that I could go about doing that, to add to that last post that I just made. I don't want to act like I'm stuck and that I have no options, because I realize at that point it's basically just setting myself up for not trying. I really do struggle though trying to find things to do with my available time that could be put to doing more productive things. As I've said, going to college again and living on campus is out of the question. I've pushed for trying to live on campus and there's just no way, not with my grades. And I've commuted to campuses of colleges as a non degree seeking student, and this offers no social opportunities at all, because people basically just quietly put their heads down and work during class and then leave, and then I have to go to my next class, then have a 20 minute bus ride home after school, where I just go back to being lonely. Then you have jobs, I didn't meet anyone on my job, I was just as lonely as when I didn't have a job. This is me, who lives in a city with 50,000 people, and it's just a suburb of an even bigger city. This is me, not being able, or not knowing how to meet people. I just don't know what to do.

And if I am? What to do then?

>>8637117
you need to start practicing mindfulness meditation on a regular basis

>>8637972
I've heard this mentioned to me so many times.

>>8637975
try this:

go sit somewhere, close your eyes and listen to the sound of your breathing for a minute or two

Then, while continuing to be aware of your breathing, listen to the sounds in your immediate area. Could be birds, people walking, whatever...

Then listen to the sounds farther out. Cars a block away, wind in the trees, etc...

Keep trying to go farther out while still holding the closer sounds loosely. Try to hear the white noise that is faintly humming in the distance

It doesn't have to be a big deal, and you can do it for 5 minutes or an hour. And you can do it pretty much anywhere.

Not going to try to explain why it's valuable or related to your issues, but it is, and it will help.

Thanks anon.
