I've thought of playing Weird Fishes/Arpeggi at my high school before, I think it would honestly be the perfect song to play. How it builds up and gets all emotional, and having the entire audiance completely silent the whole time just watching and listening. That song and Jigsaw Falling Into Place and Reckoner as the encore. Absolutely perfect.

What's stopping you all from doing some of these? I mean obviously the "play at school and get your crush to like you" is ridiculous and not possible for most of you (assuming the majority are 18+ and have already graduated high school), but like, What's stopping you from playing music in front of people and starting a band and stuff? And who's to say none of you will ever play at an npr tinydesk or something like that?

Doing this literally right now senpai. My entire life is a fucking failure and I want to die every single day. I try to reach out for some affection but I always end up realizing that I am hopelessly incompetent to achieve affection for myself. There is literally no point to life and I might as well just fucking kill myself.

You know why I don't fucking kill myself? Because I'm a big fat fucking pussy. I'm a NEET who sits in his room all day. I compile lists and lists and lists of my top albums, top songs, and use spreadsheets with a frequently changing and esoteric rating method for each of the unreasonably huge number of albums that I've listened to. My snob perspective on music is the only "expertise" in anything that I have, and guess what? Nobody gives a shit. I have literally not told a single human a single opinion about music even though I'm creeping on 6k album listens and have formulated a ton of snobby and derisive opinions about music. All of my music documentation that I've compiled over the past 6 years of NEET-dom is on my personal hard-drive and Google drive. I don't have a website because it would reveal that, in spite of my listening efforts, my knowledge is dwarfed by older critics who have listened to several tens of thousands of albums.

I used to listen to a couple of new albums every day but now the pace is slowing. Even the snobbish music expertise is slipping away from my own twisted psychological state as something I can force myself to be proud of. I now throw on my favorite albums and even just loop my favorite particular songs, because most of the fucking music out there? Trash. Boring. And you know what? The good albums that I really liked? Yeah, they're all RYM-core, Scaruffi-core, or otherwise /mu/-core. I could just as well tell "friends" (if I fucking had any) to go to RYM, scaruffi, or /mu/ charts than tell them about my meticulously piled opinions. Fuck me and fuck everything.

Start a blog/Youtube channel. You can't possibly have worse opinions than Antwon Fantwon. And if you've been a NEET for so long you obviously have enough access to money to support it.

Sometimes I wonder what would have happened had I stuck with it and said fuck college. Especially considering I just dropped out a couple months ago.

honestly, drink water instead of soda. Cut out white foods ( besides rice) you will feel better. Then just go outside for a little everyday maybe a walk. And maybe read some books. I swear to god you will feel a little improvement, you will.
