slowly realizing life is just a giant meme. People are tricked into various mini memes so that they keep participating in the main life meme. Job/Career meme, relationship meme, girlfriend meme, having children meme, all fuelled by misplaced chemicals.

I really wanna see WW3 and just see the world destroy itself... I wonder how I could help instigate it?

>was depressed all week

How bad off does one have to be depressed?

Seems like I have episodes of depression that last months at a time.

The root of my day to day thinking goes something like this:

I feel like I might get better if I tried harder, but there are no guarantees in life, so why try at all? I've tried before and what I want to happen usually doesn't.

I found this board in late 2016. I think it's the best/worst thing that could have happened to me. Feel normal here, but failing so bad in real life.

2017 has started off as the worst year of my life. No job, no friends, atleast my immediate family is still cool with me. I'm on my 3rd different antidepressant medication and I just don't know anymore.

I'm afraid to go back Monday

25 last month.

This year was going okay at first, had a great new job, but now I'm in extreme trouble.

I'm being charged with attemping to embezzle the very job I was enjoying myself at. Could look at 11 years, maybe less. Not much time left, and I probably won't be aquitted.

I think someone is trying to frame me. I know who it might be, too, but I can't do anything about it. Don't make enemies, I guess.

I need to lie down before I'm confined to a prison bed.

I just used that as an example. I'm actually a pleb when it comes to music. Just like the standards; Beethoven, Vivaldi and Bach. I guess I should learn to expand my palette.

29 here. Student loans on schedule to finally be fucking paid this Feb. Got a couple of grand stashed. On my lifting grind - not a new years deal, was already doing it but didn't lift shit for about a month after throwing my back out at work. Deleted all forms of normie social media on the 1st of the year and haven't looked back. Went from smoking daily for ten years straight to not smoking any ganja for several months (def going to again, wanted to focus for awhile though). Still drink but once/twice weekly without going overboard so that it's more pleasure than pain. Moderate qt3.14 coworker I fucked about a year ago who moved wants me to come smash it - she's 21... dirty old man power. Down to about 12 cigs daily from my original pack per day plus habit. Finished a mix I'd been working on for way too fucking long the other day. Read three solid books so far this year... About 2 or 3 years ago I was disgusted with myself after a shit breakup and decided to get my shit together, been gradually turning the franchise around ever since.

Self-improvement is more than a meme my friends. I'm not king shit and there is still plenty to be done, but over the last year or so I've started feeling pretty fucking good about myself and it's made dealing with others way easier.

There is hope my dudes.

If you are on your 3rd anti-depressant, then your feelz are probably a symptom. They should test for and treat personality disorders instead. If you have chemical depression, one of the meds would fix it. If the meds are not a help, they will be harmful in the long term.

it's probably better to focus on the present now with some short term goals in mind to keep you moving forward.
for example: exercise 30min every other day (you'll need to adjust this to something that works with your schedule)

You have to say you're the best, even if you're not, even if you know you're complete garbage, you absolutely have to say "I'm the best qualified person to work for you, and you need to know that." You have to say it so much that you might even start believing it.

>>34154098
I can understand being tired after that long day -- I know I can't exercise after work because I'm too tired. My breakthrough was getting into the habit of waking up a little earlier and exercising before work.
I would recommend that you try that. It's going to be insanely difficult at first -- I know since I've been there. But once you make a routine, it'll be a peace of cake.
In my case, I wake up and immediately eat some greek yogurt (plain) and some fruit to give me some energy for my workout. After eating I spend ~10 minutes reading to let the food settle a little bit. I find it's easiest to start with a cardio warm up for 5 minutes.
Give it a shot. The month or so, you're going to feel like a zombie and you're not going to want to go through with it but just get your body in motion and space out while listening to some upbeat music.
Go into this knowing that it's going to be hard as hell but if you push through, you will have more energy and you will start to lose weight and look better. Never let yourself skip -- no excuses. That's where people lose. Once you skip, it makes skipping again that much easier and before you know it you've completely given up.

>>34154241
that seems really hard, I have a lot of trouble waking up too. like its nearly impossible for me

I used to be like that too. Now I have two alarms: one next to my bed and another in my door way which is set to go off 10 minutes after the first one. Getting out of bed is the hardest part for sure. Once you're up and out, don't let yourself get back into bed no matter what. Your body will feel like shit, but just power through it and eat a nutritious snack to give you a little boost.

idk, i was an alcoholic from jan 2016 to aug 2016 then I quit because I found out my liver enzymes were high and I had a fatty liver. Then dec came around and I started drinking again, using the holidays as an excuse to drink, and have been drinking pretty much every day since. I'll probably die soon. I also take benzos and a betablocker since I was supposed to be tapering off benzos but all im doing is drinking so eventually ill run out of benzos/betablockers and probably die unless i say/do something.

Will be 28 this year. Still no different since high school. Work a dead end job but good pay, never had girlfriend and constantly bugged by parents about it, no social life or friends really and nothing but anxiety and general hate for everyone. I do nothing but work, gym, and anime.

Only thing that keeps me alive are the idea of travelling overseas again (been overseas 5 times last year) and anime.

>>34154962
>I will try not to shit myself and pass out.
Oh god, I remember those days. My hands would shake and my mind would go completely blank but I would somehow make it through the piece.
I only have one video recording but the DVD might be at my parent's place.
If you're talking audio I do have something on my phone -- it was the first recording I've made in years and it made me nervous as fuck and I wasn't even planning on sharing it with anyone. I ended up recording a second take and even during that time my mind was blank and my hands were a little shaky.

What piece(s) will you be playing? and do you know what the audience will be like?

>>34155127
Want to talk somewhere else to send recordings without linking anything here? I actually have a video online... recording myself is fine because I can do as many takes as I want.

I will be playing 3 selections from Tchaikovsky, Album for the Young. I will be one of 14 students I think. I assume the audience will mostly be the Asian parents of the 6 year old Asians who will be performing. Probably nobody I know will come because I'll be playing for about 7 minutes anyway.

>>34154789
>anime

I have completely lost interest in anime. I can't bring myself to seek, download, or attempt anymore. Any advice?

Anyone else /gradual decline/ here?

Seems I could manage to scrape together a social life at 21-26 or so even if nogf. But as people get older they are less social, have more responsibilities. And if people move out of my area or anything like that I don't replace them. I don't know how to meet anyone and I don't see it turning around anytime soon.

Also, is online dating a worthless meme or should I try it?

>>34155387

I'm 27, I used to browse /a/ everyday when I was 19 - 20 or so. I have absolutely no interest in anime anymore, it just feels so childish and I would feel shame if I watched it. I did watch the newer Berserk movies and will watch the new Evangelion movie too. Those can be thought of as movies adults would enjoy though.

>>34155497

Online dating made me hate women and hate myself. So, probably best to avoid it if you aren't super good looking.

>>34155355
6 year old Asians and then you? Sounds interesting -- are there any other adult learners?
Good taste with the Tchaikovsky.
I don't have anywhere else to go but here but I do have a throwaway gmail: ffohrst.
That should be a good experience though. People really aren't going to be critical of your playing -- they're mainly there to hear they children, it seems?

http://vocaroo.com/i/s1OfbrPm5nrD
Name the piece and get a gold star ;)
My mind went completely blank when I recorded this and I think it turned out okay... so if the same thing happens to happen to you, don't freak out and just trust your fingers. You've been practicing, right? Your body knows what to do.

>>34155387
I wouldn't recommend getting back into it. I'm a moeblob fan (aka cute girls doing cute things) which they churn out every season so that what keeps me in. General consensus is that the inspiration for innovative design and story is gone.

>who is grumpy jii san.jpg

While "childish" isn't the word I would use to describe my aversion, and while I would not feel embarrassment (primarily because I keep the hobby completely concealed, I imagine) if I found something I liked, I think my problem is somewhat similar. Much of the stuff I pick up either feels like, yes, its geared to appeal to a young teenage mindset, or is just uninspired anime-by-numbers being created on a purely economic formula. But then, even things like Kino no Tabi and Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai aren't holding my interest. I recognize that these are not stupid anime, and can't bring myself to drop them, but It's been about a year and I haven't finished them, either, and I don't want to. There's just no story or characters in either that compels and entertains me. Haibane Renmei was the only anime I watched this year that I thoroughly enjoyed. But how many anime of that caliber exist? Not many, I imagine. Wizard Barristers: Benmasi Cecil was alright, enough to hold my interest.

>>34155624
My teacher suggested the Tchaikovsky. She's from Russia.

There will be 1 other adult student, I believe.

No clue what the piece is. Sounds impressionist maybe? You posted Ravel. Is it Ravel? Early Ravel maybe?

>>34155613
I'm pretty decent looking, I think. Just a shut in and spergy. But that also means I won't be able to create a good profile - I at least know not to take selfies, so I will try to con one of my few IRL friends to take one.

Can I filter for spergs? I kinda want a sperg gf.

>>34155747
Yeah I don't get how tinder became a dating app too and not just a hookup app, but I know people use it. Guess I'll have to wade through all the degenerates.

>>34155751
I realize I'm going on a rather self-oriented tangent, here, so I'll give you guys some recommendations for entertainment based on my current situation.

As a result of my lack of interest in anime, I've been exploring western media somewhat, and have stumbled across a few things that I really found entertaining.

>1) Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Something you have probably already seen, sorry.

>2) Black Sails (TV series)
Also about pirates. Seasons 1 and 2 were very fun to watch, with the exception of alot of heavy feminist / cultymarxy content surrounding the female cast. Compelling, well written, well portrayed characters. Unfortunately the series "walked the plank" in season 3. A case of "it should have ended but they drug it out for another season."

And that's about it. Jesus christ, I haven't realized this until now, but the other piece of media that comes to mind is Treasure Planet by Disney, also with a 'piratey' theme.

I downloaded all this stuff before KAT was taken down (may it RIP; it will be sorely missed), but if anyone is interested I have some more resources for alternative trackers.

I hope your recital goes well. I'm actually a little jealous since I wish I could attend those again. I haven't listen to people play in person nor played in front of people in over 12 years.

Very good guess. It's actually the dude with the baller mustache, Faure.

http://ks.imslp.info/files/imglnks/usimg/6/66/IMSLP06572-Faure_-_Piece_Breves__Op.84__piano_.pdf
The piece was No. 2 from this set. No. 5 is the most well known and was the piece that initially drew me to Faure.

I'm hoping work will finally slow down so I can start learning some bigger, more difficult pieces.

One more thing:

If any of you are interested in Morrowind, there is a Brit who made a "Let's Play" on youtube that I liked, at least at first. In the year+ that he's been making these videos, he's lost interest in it, and the quality has declined, unfortunately. He's become kind of a whiny bitch. But I still find his newer content watchable, despite that.

Still a NEET. Hoping to make it out of 2017 as not a NEET. On a pretty good pain management regime now, as well as not being in anywhere near as much regular pain as i've been the past 2+ years, so I'm feeling optimistic. I don't know WTF I'm going to do about a job though. Still don't have my driver's license for a couple reasons, probably mostly because of mild ASD and actual difficulty telling the difference between left and right sometimes. I want to garner the motivation to get moving with this shit, but I guess just from languishing and having surgeries these past few years, it's really hard for me to get in that mode of, "Hey, I'm actually semi-functional and can do this shit now." :/

28 cyborg reports. Hey, I've actually not sick anymore, thank you for all the positive energy from last thread, anons.

Still motivated, 2017 feels good so far. Maybe cause all I've done so far was being ill and not doing shit but playing vidya and doing cardio every day.

Turning 26 this year. Getting to that age where expectations are really beginning to become apparant.

Think my parents are just barely hiding their disappointment, still hoping i'll get my shit together, but I just can't see it. I can't fucking see myself ever just getting on with the next 50 years of my life and making something of myself.

Can't even see myself getting into a job anymore after shit jobs previously for years. Education never catches my interest either, dropped out of that three times.

Kind of just sleep most of the day away, only getting up because of back issues. High metabolism has finally come to an end, so beginning to put on weight.

Every year just kind of makes it even worse. Don't want to live, yet parents don't want me to die. Not sure how people do it.

This so much. Also I've noticed that all the successful interviews I've had are when I:

1. Wasn't stressed because I didn't think it was the end of the world if I didn't get the job. Always had the attitude that if I didn't get the job I'd just get an interview with a better company

2. Lied through my teeth about any minor thing that can't be checked, like personality things. Always back these things up with stories, and since so employer will actually try and verify the story is true, it is foolproof.

I have been drunk the last 22 hours playing on a prirate WoW server

Twenty-seven, and still here. I have an entry-level position, and since I'm not taken seriously by most of my coworkers, I'll probably have to transfer if I ever want to move up in the company. I could easily do my boss's job at this point better than he ever will and his boss's job too for that matter, but I'm not someone with "leadership qualities" (read: self-assured smugness masking incompetence and insecurity), apparently. Nothing matters the way that it used to, so I don't have to deal with social anxiety or shame anymore. I look much younger than I am, so I have access to a steady supply of 17-19 year old girls who are impressed by my vehicle and disposable income. I guess I'm making up for all the sex I didn't have. I've actually developed quite a foul reputation in my social circle as a result, and older people glare at me at work. It feels good to be honest.

>>34155497
>Also, is online dating a worthless meme or should I try it?
You'll get laid, but you probably won't enjoy it much. Being attractive doesn't really make much of a difference at our age. You'll get more attention, but you would have gotten enough if you were only average. If you're doing it at this point, you're a loser in their eyes regardless. They're losers too though, and they know it. People who hold unflattering opinions of themselves, and have accepted that they won't doing anything to change don't tend to be nice people. They will try to use you for money. I do it just so I can meet women my age and speak with them. I sleep with maybe one in three. Teenagers make for horrible company except while you're inside them.

On another note, leave your credit cards at home, and take an amount of cash that you can afford to lose.

>>34157353
I know someone who was successful with online dating (long term relationship, though we'll see how long it actually lasts). She has her problems, but is less crazy than a lot of women I've met IRL, and I have a lot in common with her. So I know people like her are on it, I guess.

There are specific details that make me think it was probably a fluke, though. Idk.

Turned 27 recently. Also got my first job not long ago. Two nights a week, close to minimum wage. Trying to save up for a car so I can do something else, but it will take a while. The job is overnight and fairly solitary at least.

Anyway, I played Katawa Shoujo for the first time recently. Since then I've felt like a walking corpse. It really hit me that I've been out of high school for almost a decade and I have nothing. I'm alone and it looks like I always will be. I missed out on so much. I was depressed for a long time and the years just slipped by and now they are gone forever.

I know that the type of scenarios depicted in that game are generally nonexistent in the real world, but something like that is what I've always wanted, and it will never be. Even if I got myself together and got a real woman, what would she be, 30? All of those youthful experiences could never occur. She would just be a jaded person that I could never trust. There could never be a meaningful bond. I wish the world reflected the naivety that I desire, but it never will.

Sorry for the blogpost.

26yo khv here.
gotta ask, for those who have actually dealt with girls: how do you tell the difference between orbiting or not? I can't tell and it's doing my head in.

>>34158272

Orbiting -
>not having self-respect
>having oneitis
>scheduling your life around her
>thinking about her all the time
>receiving no reciprocation of affection or effort

>>34158168
When I got my job, as little as it was, I felt like I had some sort of goal I could work toward. That was helping a bit. But of course week after week of menial labor tends to wear that away.

And then I played that fucking game and it just made me realize more acutely than ever what I will never have. Admittedly I was able to gain some vicarious happiness, but I think that just made things worse ultimately. I think I may try and get into literature and writing, which I used to care about. I want something to sink my energy into that won't make me want to die. Try and get a goal is the only advice I have, but it has to be one that you will care about or you will end up hating it.

>tfw yearly rent increase notice.

Being depressed didn't help it any.

>>34158272
In my experience if you begin your relationship with a girl on the level of "friend" then you are an orbiter and will remain that way. She has to look at you as something other than that from the beginning. You cannot allow your relationship with her to be categorized as that of a friend. I wish the world did not work this way, but I think that is how it is.

i'm alright for now, then, right?

>>34158422

You're orbiting if just being around her feels good and you aren't pushing for anything more.

What is she? Is she your friend? Is she your gf? What do you want her to be?

Orbiters do just that - they orbit. They don't make their own thoughts or actions. They just sort of want to be around her while she lives her life.

Most orbiters do this because they are terrified of making a move, it being rejected, and then having their access to "muh one and only" cut off.

So if this describes you, you're an orbiter.
Further - orbiting ALWAYS ends badly.

>>34158326
Oh, you said "was depressed" but this sounds like you still are.

>>34158513
I guess so. It seems different now. I don't think I'm in the time blur that I was in, so to speak. That much has become clearer at least.

>>34158472
Well I am not happy with orbiting and want more and probably wouldn't settle for less, so I guess I'm OK, thank you friend.

That further is exactly why I won't. I rather remain alone and contactless than orbit tbqh

>How are you holding up?
Poorly.
>Is 2017 treating you ok so far?
It's fine. Nothing good is happening, but nothing bad is happening either. I almost wish I had some shitty circumstances to justify my feelings. As it is, I'm just being a bitch and I hate it.

I made a resolution that I will try to be a good person. I want a woman who is a good person, if that exists. But how can I ask for that if it isn't what I am myself? At least if I die alone I will know that it was not my fault. That's all I can do.

>>34152826
>I feel like I might get better if I tried harder
I've felt this way too, so i tried harder, made sacrifices, endured hardship, cutoff dragging deadweights that i used to call friends, only to realize i'm not better offf than before.

Make a move.
She either likes it and you can take your relationship to the next level and discover more about love and being a man, or she keks you and you at least have the consolation of A) not being a beta faggot and B) not living with regret of what could have been

Either way the orbiting phase will be over. If you do make a move though tell us what you're going to do first so we can stop you from doing anything too autistic.

>>34159368

I just don't feel the need to spell out my life story and add in unnecessary details to my simple question.

I asked two girls out. Never, ever done that before. First one said she was seeing someone, second was interested.

I just don't understand why I didn't start doing this before I turned fucking 29. It was hard, but not THAT hard. The girl that agreed to go out was kinda fugly, but now I'm thinking about trying one of the single Stacies at work. Because fuck you, Chad.

It's so strange. My mindset has suddenly gone from a decade of "no one would ever got out with me, no point in even trying" to "might as well give it a go". I know it won't be easy, I know it will get awkward, but whatever. I'm so god damn sick of being alone.

Both are colleagues I've never interacted with outside of work. I've talked a little with both of them, but I wouldn't really say that I "know" them as such.

I have no idea how to talk to strangers either, or how to meet chicks. Live in a tiny-ass village too, so it's not like there are that many available chicks either. Shit's gonna get hard if I can't find a gf through work.

>>34160317
I wish you luck and hope that you find happiness. But do not settle with a woman just because she will be with you. So many men reach our age and find that women will pay attention to them, so they fall in love with the first decent looking woman that will fuck them. They then get roped into marriage, and then after a few years get hit with divorce, alimony, child support, etc. once she gets tired of them. Just saying, be selective. If you aren't then you could end up alone again in an even worse situation.

>>34152651
Everything what the other anons posted. If you want to look more sophisticated and show that you actually did your homework about the company, get a sheet of paper ready with some questions.

Folk here got legit problems, mental and physical and that can be somewhat "valid" reason to not have job\gf. But it seems you're not one of these categories, so you're just lazy\unmotivated, whatever word fits. Try doing some self-analysis, or try psychologist\professional medical help.

I don't really think much about suicide anymore, I just sort of am. Sometimes I'll do weird things like yelling out gibberish or pissing on the carpet just because I can. Life is funny like that. I really don't feel much at all.

If someone is a terrible person simply because they're lazy and unwilling to help themselves, doesn't that mean suicide is entirely justified in that case? The single issue that needs to be solved is them.

>>34163972
You can at least try getting to understand what you actually like.

>doesn't that mean suicide is entirely justified in that case?

It's persons own deal, but I'd say it's a huge waste in your case. I remember like a week ago spoke with anon who lost both parents to a car accident, he got house and some cash(insurance money) and he just lived in his house for 1.5 years. Reading, doing some home fitness, trying to learn new stuff.

There's almost always a better way to it, just don't give up so easy.

I'm 28, dropped off last year of uni, went working(lied to employer), got enough money and moved to other country(I thought it would be good enough motivation).

It all worked out, well, it's still in progress, but I'm here now, got fit, still searching for things that bring me joy, but process is interesting in itself.
