"no gf" is a symptom of other problems. If you can't be happy without one, you wouldn't be with one, and you'd just bring her down.

>>35113718
Nah fuck off. I want a gf now, and until I get that and regular sex, I am languishing in a hell that you will never understand.

We all have different reasons for being depressed. Just because we have occasional ways to escape it doesn't mean it's not still there.

What if I do live in a third world country? Am I allowed to whine as I damn well please?

>your life can't suck because other people have it worse!!
>what about STARVING KIDS in AFRICA?
Neck you're self.

>>35113718
Resources are finite, human desires are infinite. Just because someone has it worse than you doesn't mean that you're bad for wanting more.

As someone who lives in a first world country that has been homeless in the past, living out of a car on ramen noodles and truckstop showers, and as someone who is currently married, and quite happily so, you have absolutely no right to tell people what they should desire, and what they shouldn't, and fuck you for trying, as if you are any different, and like you don't want anything.

My wife makes me very happy, and I would be less happy without her.

haha yeah, you're right bro. What a bunch of crybaby losers these fags are. Your pathetic ass is depressed because you can't get a gilfriend? Fucking go the fuck outside and talk to another human being instead of sitting in your moms basement watching anime.

>>35113800
My bf wouldn't like that. I make him gtfo sometimes because I'm happy as a fag in cum to be alone doing my own stuff.

>>35113820
>you're self
seems like you need to KYS you fucking mongoloid.

>>35113718

I think some of us might legitimately be happier if we were dirt poor and on the streets. Nobody understands what I mean when I wish my mommy would kick me out and make me fend for myself.

I'd actually be much happier being poor but having someone I love, and someone than loves me.

Just getting some exercise does a ton for happiness.

>thinking that I'm depressed because of worthless vaginas
>thinking that just because starving niglets are a thing it magically removes my severe depression and desire to rip my own aorta out

Go fuck yourself, normalfag scum.

>>35113718
As someone who lives in an Islamic cunt that's currently in armed conflict I fucking agree

I used to think about this all the time as a little kid, here is the conclusion I've come to.

Emotions are not based on an objective, tangible scale. Emotions come from chemicals in your brain more or less. Those same chemicals can be produced and it really doesn't matter exactly what it is producing them, that's not relevant. The end result is the same. The feelings you get are going to be the same. That's why there can be rich, beautiful, well liked people who can genuinely have crippling depression as well as poor uneducated people who are capable of being happy. While I understand and appreciate the many modern comforts I get to enjoy in my life, I'm used to them. They are all I have ever known and it's literally out of my control whether or not I take them for granted. I am well aware that, a regular shitty day for me is safer and more comfortable than an average day for even the mightiest of Egyptian pharoahs. Thanks to free infinite porn I even get to see women more attractive than what he saw, doing pretty much any specific dirty action I want, while on a modern mattress with air conditioning and fast food.

Does this make me feel happy? No. How do I know this to be true? Because I'm the one feeling it. All I can do is explore the "why" in this case. And I think the conclusion I've come to is actually pretty sound.

Emotions are an internal thing, not an external thing. Me having an objectively comfy life compared to almost every human who's ever existed isn't making my brain produce the happy chemicals. That's just how it is.

>>35113718
>your life is fucking fine

No, it's not. Let's go over the hierarchy of needs.

>physiologial
I'm not literally dying of cancer or some other terminal illness so I'm good here
>safety
I don't wake up every morning wondering if I'll have food/water/shelter for he day so I'm set
>love/belonging
Lacking
>esteem
Lacking
>self actualization
lol

Just because there's people worse off than you doesn't mean you can't suffer. We're cut off from others for whatever reason and it causes us to suffer. Basic psychological theory says we can only feel so much pain and suffering, so when a need is met the pain is applied onto the next layer. We're just as bad off until we've completed the hierarchy.

>>35113718
It's almost like we're sick but mentally instead of physically.

>>35115581
It's almost like it's called a mental illness or something.

There are people literally being flayed alive in Mexico right now. What right do people in Syria have to complain?
People have issues they deal with in every walk of life. Just because someone has it worse doesn't mean you don't have legitimate issues as well.
You need to be 18 or older to post on this site by the way.

>>35115598
I'm surprised that's original.

Anyways, yeah. If there's any media conspiracy it's this: mental illness and suicide rates are spiking for this generation (20s-40s) and the media refuses to make it a big issue because these things are contagious. Convince people that no one is sad and no is sad. You'd think the death of this generstion would be a pressing issue, but no let's just run more stories about the presidential race that ended 3 months ago.

The goal of humanity, as with any sentient organism, is to reproduce.

You've fallen prey to a very common mistake in believing survival, a necessity for reproduction, is your actual goal.

A third world savage who passes his genes in a mud hut has an objectively better life than a robot.

>he has a computer/phone and internet, so he's probably middle class or above
What the fuck? I have a computer, phone and internet I live in a shitty apartment in a fucking projects.

Not my goal. What now, faggot?

I'd rather be a child soldier never raised to expect any better than an autistic retard who was raised on the "you can be anything" meme.

The disparity between expectation and reality is far more important than the reality itself. A Chinaman going from swimming through toxic sludge to work every day to walking barefoot across a pile of stone has seen a huge improvement and will be happy with his lot. Looking at charts that show income for people of my social grouping has been stagnant since the 1970s while mass unemployment remains government policy and unemployment welfare is constantly being slashed leaves a huge disparity of expectations.

It's not death I fear, it's living.

This is bullshit. No matter how many children Tyrone has, he isn't really contributing much to his species or society. Literally 'reproducing' is only the goal of lesser animals, since they are biologically unable to do anything more than that. However, human legacy consists of much more than just having young. People like Newton, who died a virgin, have contributed to their species (and yes, the species is more important than the individual in biology) much more than the average Ahmed whose kids will all grow up to be either kebab shop owners or killed by ISIS.

>>35113718
Fuck off with this shit argument. By your logic, if I can't be miserable because someone is worse off, then I also can't be happy because people like Bill Gates exist. Happiness is relative. A starving kid in Africa can be happy and a millionaire can be miserable. It does not depend on other people.

>>35113718
If I were a robot in africa I would probably be dead by now. Should I kill myself then? Maybe that's an option
