I'm reading Whatever by Houellebecq and this hit me pretty hard:
"Even supposing that you might have women in the future - which in all frankness I doubt - this will not be enough.
You will always be an orphan to those adolescent loves you never knew."
It left me devastated, what should I read to counter these feels?
>>
give up hope

hope is the source of pain
>>
Take the black pill
>>
>>9652445
More Houellebecq, in chronological order.
>>
>>9652445
Where exactly did you find those sentences?
>>
Go to a club and stab a black man
>>
Why should that part of your past bother you in your present? Just use it as motivation to build your future.
>>
>>9652445

Lol conceding more and more ground as you realize that I know how the cards lie and I am not demoralized by your insults.

>well, you may get a gf eventually, but for right now you're screwed!

Keep on trying. Please? For me?
>>
>>9652512
wtf kind of post is this?
are you schizoid or something?
who and what are you replying to?

>>9652445
Just because he feels that way doesn't mean you will too..
>>9652500
This.
>>
>>9652519

Lol get fucked
>>
>>9652529
I'm right huh?
you think everything is about you and yet you barely know yourself (though you'll never realize).
pathetic.
>>
>>9652533

Lol k. You sure showed me.
>>
>>9652541
youre doing it again.
Unable to take responsibility for your own errors.
Immediately you attack.
Very insecure, very sad.
>>
>>9652500
Because you have very limited ability to build a future when all of your realized shortcomings as a person are, in passage of time, ingrained within you. Adulthood is the realization that every single past failure calls to you as a horrible reminder of what you are - even if you're wistfully trying to ignore it. But those problems will read their ugly heads again, in time, and no amount of positivism or willfull ignorance will be able to halt that.
>>
>>9652553

Alrighty wise internet hombre, please attempt to characterize me more, I find it quite entertaining.
>>
>>9652561
The schizoid thing stung I'm sure.
I know the type.
You're only going deeper.
You probably think youre smarter than everyone around you.
(You're a loser and always will be, i know it stings)

These guys are children stuck in growing bodies, so they dont realize most young "relationships" are just alpha testing for the same sloppy bullshit adults get into. I dont want to hear shit about "innocence".
>>
>>9652576
You should be the one paying me for my time and diagnosis you narcissistic retard.
I know you dont get out much but someone has to tell you these things.
Unnecessarily attacking anonymous internet posts for your own insecurities (which you so vehemently deny, even now [further cementing my point]) is classic schizoid shit. It shows a real bubble-type mentality.
>>
>>9652561
The fact that you seemingly took extreme offence to a quote from a book - evidenced by the fact that you replied to it like the writer was talking to you - shows just how close it hits to home. And just how far gone you are..

Ideas of getting you getting a girlfriend will likely never be a reality. More and more the social sphere is closing for you. That's where the cards lie.
>>
>>9652519
thats not what schizoid means!
>>
>>9652556
Yes, all of your past is present in who you are whether you know it or not, and it does indeed call to you. Where you've strayed is that you seem only to be able to interpret the call in its face value - past regrets surface, and you can recognize that. You've stopped there to revel in that fact, and marked your dwelling with the flag of "Adulthood." In this, the call is entirely unheeded as a call-to-action. You seem to know that the answer is not to ignore the call, but you forget that you also have to hear what it says, which is an active hearing, an opportunity from yourself to you to overcome who you were. Without hearing and making this decision, you can only dwell in that hollow self-reflection.
>>
>>9652595
yes it is retard.
You're uninformed.
I work with schizoid people all the time.
they're essentially smart-retards who the more you get to know, the more you start to hate.

Ok, what's my copay?

Lmao

Actually, do you mind paying me? You will? Hey, thanks kid.
>>
>>9652445
Loads of people have deep routed isseus and have to live with them every day. This could possible be yours. Have fun.
>>
>>9652631
You're doing it again.
this kind of anger is typical of schizoids.
It's hard for them to be honest with themselves.
It's all dismissal and assumed superiority. No basis.
You notice a trend with your posts?
>>
I think a lot of this /r9k/ faggotry could be solved if people just weren't so spooked and believed in all these memes about "girlfriends" and whatnot.
Which is easier said that done, for sure. Or at least, it's very uncommon (the zen buddhists would say it's too easy--I don't entirely agree with them).
>>
>>9652556

Man you need to read some fucking Nietzsche, unless you already have - in which case, I hope this is your loneliest loneliness.
>>
>>9652728
Nietzsche was a hopeless cuck who wrote whiny love letters and threw tantrums.
>>
>>9652747

Who the fuck cares? Read the words, you hopeless idiot. Are you going to argue this hard against taking some effort to overcome your fucking whining about not being a 'chad' in high school? You're such a fucking pussy that you don't deserve to be with women.
>>
>>9652728
>>9652747
I know it's easy to get into that zone of dismissal, I struggle with it constantly too, but for your own sake you should really thoughtfully read. If Nietzsche doesn't work for you, keep looking, eventually you'll find words that resonate with you and call you to become who you want to be if you try. The alternative is desolating.
>>
>>9652796
The words are a power fantasy from a man who knew they couldn't be lived up to irl.

Nietzsche tried to lie to himself but even he didn't believe himself.

I'm not the lad you were originally responding to btw, I got my share of prime teen and college pussy and am now happily celibate.
>>
>>9652814

you're 'correct' in a sort of shambling, retarded way, but that doesn't absolve anyone who is 1) literate and 2) interested in self-realization from at least attempting to read nietzsche.

anyways, the guy was professor of philology at 25 and fucked with Lou Salome and the Wagners before changing the history of philosophy forever. I'll take Nietzsche's 'cucked failure' over whatever the fuck you're offering kthx
>>
>>9653159
Did you read his private correspondence as well?

Not a man worth emulating.

This isn't how philosophy works, dipshit. Sure, it's an interesting discussion to have, but you're not even doing that - you're just being a fucking retard, spooked about badthink. You don't have to emulate the man to read his writing, and even if you disagree with nietzsche proposition-by-proposition it's still worth reading - especially if you're as cucked by life as OP.
>>
>>9653190

Make me.
>>
>>9653190
I've read all his work, I don't think it's an answer to OPs problems at all. I don't see how reading Nietzsche will help him, honestly.
>>
What the hell is this thread?
>>
>>9653199
What are you doing on a /lit/ board?
>>
>>9653235

You're saying you started reading Nietzsche, then continued until you finished everything he ever wrote, and yet you still can't see how it might do some good for this sadsack piece of shit OP?

What the fuck drove you to keep reading?
>>
>>9653308
Nietzsche's work is great and very interesting and thought provoking, I just don't think it's the right self-help for twfnogf incels who pity themselves because they didn't get laid in the past.

Reading high strung sexually frustrated maniacs, however brilliant, would probably influence them to become more high strung sexually frustrated maniacs.

I think the only way Nietzsche is empowering is all the different perspectives he offers you, but there's a common idea of Nietzsche's body of philosophy being this massively empowering thing to individuals that rings hollow. Ultimately the guy wrote some interesting aphorisms but he's not going to fix any of your problems. If anything he just creates more of them.

Nietzsche is not a therapeutic read is what I mean, I guess, especially not if your main problem in life is missing out on teen pussy.

OP should follow through with Elementary Particles and Platform to see Houellebecq work this stuff out more though. They're good reads.

It's from Extension du Domaine de la Lutte. Its in the part where the protagonist sits down Raphael at the club and redpills him.

It's not true. I never got laid until college. Didn't give a single shit about "adolescent loves" once I started getting laid.

>>
>>9652445
If that adolescent love did exist it most likely no longer does, so you'd still feel the pain of that loss. Either way you're fucked.
>>
>>9652445
I could understand the physical desire for teen bodies, but I can't understand feeling emotionally devastated over a lack of teen relationships. They're nothing. Fucking a 17 year old when you're 17 isn't any more emotionally fulfilling than fucking a 25 year old when you're 25. If anything, it's less so.
>>
>>9652445
You're not missing out on as much as you think. I had several adolescent loves and I almost never look back on those years. Believe it or not, my happiest moments have been with women in their 30s.
>>
>>9657702
This is true of people who experience abundant love. For ugly people, the lack of early conformation of their sexuality can be devastating. I'm way, way too old to be a virgin and it messes with my psychology in ways that are impossible to articulate. It's almost like an illness desu

Intellectual discourse being reduced to tfw no gf.

>You're not missing out on as much as you think. I had some food when I first started getting hungry but I almost never think about those meals. Believe it or not, my most satisfying meals are the ones I had when I was already half-full. Being hungry isn't such a big deal.

This anon >>9657726 is right. It's not a big deal for you because it's already part of your life. That's normal, and how it's supposed to be; it's not supposed to take up so much of your thoughts. Maybe you're not glutted with it, but you've had some nibbles here and there. But you're not starving, and can't know what it feels like to be someone who is.
>>
The best girls don't have sex or even date in high school. There are plenty of 18 year old college girls who have never been kissed. In fact, this is the norm for some parts of the world, like China. Should they be sitting around feeling bad that they didn't get plowed by the entire football team at a drunken party in high school?

Plus: this regression to oneself as an adolescent is more dangerous than you realize. You'll start out thinking about 15 or 16 year old "adolescent loves." But you were lusting and loving as a 12 year old too. Why not pine after 12 year old girls? Head on over to /a/ and see the age of the girls some of them are into. Anime as a medium for adult men is powered by awakening regressive desires for young girls.

Come on lad. Being a moebuta doesn't mean they are dangerous pedos.

Not that guy, but the Genaology of Morals helped me coming out of a depression that lasted 2 decades. As weird as it may sound, up to that point I never got exposed to any sort of optimism that was not naive in nature. All the people who were telling me to live the good life were not considering ANY of the elements that made it so miserable, Nietzsche was the first author who did it right. I guess it's kind of a hit and miss. I can see how other anons reqding it could turn into even more untolerable, nonsensically antisocial (NEET) edgelords.

Hey look its the guy who started the first Fight Club

>>9652445
Teenage sex is literally worthless, and it is far more bulgar than one might think, for it is still dominated by shitty high school subcultures, shitty social circles designed merely on who lives where, and the fact that horny kids rather than being innocent tends to be clumsy in their perversion, while being blinded by hormones.

It's the adult equivalent of dating a stripper, in terms of drama, frustration and confusion. Good relationships in high school are as rare as they get.
>>
>>9657981
Fate/Stay Night visual novel is a great non-naive optimistic story. The protagonists' psychology and development are perfect.

You're right that I can't relate to your experiences but I don't think lack of sex is the primary issue. I'm still miserable, unfulfilled, and unable to connect with anyone. You view sex as some magical, transformational act. But to me it's an awkward, messy massage. Sex hasn't made me confident, hasn't confirmed my sexuality. I'm guessing the only reason I've had sex and you haven't is because I've put myself in more situations that could eventually lead to sex (a lot of women aren't as choosy as you might think).
