cowboy bebop + rainymood? damn that's awesome

I'm gonna have a coffee.

Tomorrow I'm going to the psychiatrist with mom and dad and that's it. Been a neet for like 5 years. Since summer of 2012 exactly. Life is boring.

One screwdriver, coming up.
You're our first visitor tonight, so this one's on the house.

Care to share what makes this day worth forgetting?

>>35384109
Rum and coke, please.

I got called for an interview to a job I only applied for because I felt like I should atleast try, not because I actually want a job.
I have to call them back to schedule an interview, but I really wasn't expecting one, so my sleeping schedule is all fucked up.

I dunno. I'm just afraid I'm gonna freeze up during the interview. I don't really know how to do an interview, and I tend to get the shakes when I'm nervous.
Why does life have to be so hard?

Coffee to the sir at the end of the bar.

Will this be your first visit to the psychiatrist, or have you been seeing him for a while now? It's also interesting that you're going with your parents. Why is that? Is it a requirement, or do you enjoy having them there with you?

>>35384385
Thanks for the drink, barkeep.

Its the infinite repetition, and feeling like shit for not doing anything with my life. Im just so sick of myself and everyone around me, pretty sure im just gonna end it soon though.

Every day is just the same, all day. Wake up, eat, do random shit, fall into the old habits you try to lose, feel like shit, go to bed.

Im so done and fed up with this shit and myself.

Rum and coke. Added a straw, too.

Sleeping schedule is not too hard to get back in order. Me? I usually force myself to stay awake until the nearest evening, the sleep like a baby through the night, and wake up fresh and ready next morning.

Be sure to schedule that interview, friend. It may not go well, but it's a worthwhile experience - you'll know better what to expect next time your in a talk like that. That might help with the nerves, too. Just don't take it too seriously. I hear employers aren't too fond of workers with sticks up their ass.

Not gonna promise you anything, but I have a feeling you'll do better than you expect. Just a hunch.

It's like 2-3 years i go there. I dropped last november and now they're all concerned because i stopped therapy and they're trying to make me go again. They're using my parents to make me worry more. It's awful 'cause I know therapy won't do shit but I can't avoid going there because of my parents (they want me to go). I mean I'm hopeless, what can anybody do? I'm going because that's the only way I can maintain status quo.

>>35384658
Nah. I was waiting to share my first drink with my dad when I'm 21, but his opinion of me has been getting worse lately

>>35384695
Why don't you drink hidden from your parents?

>>35384695
Let me guess, meet failing uni and no gf. Neet

>>35384726
Personal ethics I guess. Not compelled to either

>>35384664
Thanks, barkeep.

Yeah, that's what I intend to do. It's just kind of a pain to stay up all day sometimes. I feel like collapsing.

I'm gonna go to the interview. I have to. It may be a minimum wage job, but I really, really need some sort of income. I can't keep living the way I do now.
They called yesterday though. I was just wondering whether I should call them today or if I can afford to wait until tomorrow to schedule the interview.

I don't really want to call them when I'm absolutely exhausted, y'know? But I know the sooner the better. Really, what's one day going to make a difference?

>>35384695
That's pretty alien to me, man. Do your parents not want you to drink until 21 or something?

I had my first beer when I was 16, but I had drank before then, even. Just not whole bottles. Holidays are meant for drinking with family, man. What's a couple of years really matter, anyway?

To each his own though, I guess.

>>35384109

We're all under pressure to succeed, to move forward in our loves. We're being forced into this competition, and judged for not performing as expected, compared against each other as if winning was the only thing that actually mattered in this world. Are you yearning for things you yourself want, or things the society tells you should want? It's an important distinction. You can't change people from perceiving you as a failure, but you can stop yourself from doing the exact same thing. It may not make you much happier, but it just might save you from those suicidal thoughts, friend.

>>35384601
It's alright, young buddy. There's no law against having minors at a bar, as long as they're not drinking. I can fix you up with a glass of grape juice. Personal preference, and as close to wine as you can get without getting drunk.

>>35384676
Have you talked with your therapist about it? That you feel like it's not helping you? Maybe there are other methods of therapy you could try? I think being forced into therapy you don't find useful is not a good way of healing an ailing mind, and I'm sure your therapist would agree.

A can or two of a preferred energy drink might help out when pulling an all-nighter. Results may vary.
And getting a steady source of income is a strong step in life, for sure. I promise you'll feel a lot better about yourself after your first paycheck. And remember - that's just the beginning. You can be on a lookout for a better job from day one.
One day here, or one they there, not much of a difference. But do try to call them when you're at your best.

>>35384901
An ice-cold glass of Hoegaarden. Personal preference, hope you enjoy light beer as well.
Me? I'm doing fine tonight. Visiting my hometown, it's been some time since I came back. My parents don't seem to have missed me much, but apart from that, it's been a relaxing week so far.
How are you doing?

Door's unlocked and over there, buddy. Don't let it hit you as you're leaving.

Served Hoegarden on the bar I work at in Plymouth over christmas. I like my light beers, big fan of ipa as well.
It always seems that way doesn't it? Parents are typically awful at expressing emotions to their children, at least in our cases.
To be honest mate, I'm not doing too swell. I met a beautiful girl, and she's just moved 10,000 miles away back to her home country.

>>35384109
Mineral water, please. I'm a truckerbot going to Oregon from North Carolina so booze is verboten. Going to be passing through Ogden, Utah, where an old crush lives. I haven't seen her in almost 20 years. She's a mom with 3 daughters now. At the time of my crush I didn't want to hurt or use her, so I stayed away and never let it get physical. This meant that she got hurt and used by a bunch of other people. Roasties have their own problems, too.

Excellent jukebox selection, btw.

The fact is I don't want to get better. I'm 22, skinny as hell, below average looking, problems with eating, dropped school, balding, don't have dreams, I just don't know what to do in life. I've considered suicide many times but I kind of decided not to do it for the complications it may have. Like my parents and brother being sad, money for funeral (my parents aren't rich). I just don't want to leave my family with debts and with a loss. Although I'm not in the mood of "living". What am I going to accomplish in life? I have no ambition, my life is damn boring I do nothing. Just lurk on the interwebz all day hoping to find some youtube video or thread or post on some site to entertain me. I'm just killing time. I'n not forced into therapy, it's my choice to go there, because if I didn't my parents would expect something from me. Like going out, have friends, get a job. Things I'm not able to do at the moment, things I'm not willing to do at the moment. I even have those damn sexual identity issue those feminists talk about all day. Do I like girls? Boys? Men? I'm totally fucked up. I can't see opportunities, but maybe that's just symptoms of my mental illness. What am I? Depressed? I don't even know what I was diagnosticated. I have persecution thoughts when I get to be around people. Can't find any solution and don't even want to.

Sorry I'm being pitiful.

Hello, I don't drink alcohol. I'd kill for a cup of fresh OJ right now though, its my favorite drink.
I'll just sit here and go over my sectional anatomy notes. I have an exam in 7 hours, and I haven't touched any of the material yet.
It's been a really tough week lads.

>>35384109

I'll have a beer, barkeep.

This is my first time at this establishment and the first time returning to /r9k/ street in a good few months now.

My story isn't unique or even interesting but I just want to lay it out for myself most of all. I left my job yesterday, it had only been 4 months there but my personality and the role didn't align whatsoever. It really got me down. Fortunately, the stresses were alleviated by meeting the greatest group of people I think I've ever come across. It's rare that you come across a large group and almost every single one leaves a mark on you that you won't forget, especially in such a short space of time.

I can't accept compliments to save my life and while grabbing a few beverages with a handful of them last night, people were really laying on the love for me thick. It was nice, of course, and I believe they were being genuine but goddamn, when one of the girls who I have started to develop slight feelings for said "you're the perfect guy, if only you were taller", that shit kinda stung. I mean, I'm not crying about it and obviously she's entitled to whatever preferences she wants, but to have left this place and have the manlet meme rear its head in such stereotypical fashion... well, part of me just has to find it hilarious.

Despite that though, she still kissed me as we said our farewells and I'm left thinking I shouldn't have. Not only because it was my first kiss in a long enough time that it might as well have been my first altogether, and my self-criticism and low self-esteem has me pondering whether it was even a good kiss at all, but also because my original feelings for her are starting to grow. Which is a complication when there's a good chance I'm not going to see her again, or if I do then it will be rarely.

I don't know. It was a nothing situation that feels grand to myself because of my inexperience and overly-emotional nature. I'm just sad that I'm not going to see all these lovely people everyday.

>>35384109
>>35385284

I understand people around these parts likely won't give a shit about this story and the fact that a girl expressed any interest in me at all is possibly enough to incite anger (unless this place has changed since I last visited), but like I said I just wanted to vent.

Cheers.

>>35385296
Not the barkeep, but Frogs and Feels is something special and precious. Even if you're more of a failed normie than a robot, you belong.

>>35385127
I don't have money for energy drinks, but I do have coffee, so that'll have to do.

Hey barkeep, real talk for a second, do you know of any bars that actually play jazz? This music is reminding me of how much I really enjoy that comfy bar feeling. The only places I know of though are loud party bars.

>>35385296
I give a shit, to be perfectly honest.
No chance of seeing your new made friends or keeping in touch with them? It doesn't all have to be job related.
And for the grill, I mean, if she said that to you, is she really worth your feelings? Preferences are one thing, voicing them out in such a manner is another.

Was she just beautiful, or was there something more going on? Pretty girls are a dime a dozen these days. It's what's below the skin that's hard to find in good quality. Personal advice? Don't bother with the long-distance thing. It never works, and when it does, it's never as good as expected, anyway.

Quite some journey, it seems. Will you be visiting the girl, or do you think seeing her now would, once again, hurt her?

>>35385225
You're going through a tough time buddy. I've been there, believe me. But I got out the other end, suffered through it. Didn't make me any prettier or motivated, but sure as hell strengthened my character. Ain't much advice I can give, just remember - a life of suffering can bring some joy eventually, but the cold embrace of death will prevent you from ever seeing a brighter tomorrow. Hope dies last, as they say. Try to keep it up. It may seem like you're heading nowhere, but it will get better. It did to me, and it did to many before us. If you could talk with those who took their own lives, I'm sure most of them would express regret.

>>35385296
Your story is worth reading anon. I love your attitude
>[...] well, part of me just has to find it hilarious.

You must be an awesome person and smart too. Take care.

She's sarcastic, caring, funny and just cozy to be around. The gorgeousness just helps. I have no intention of persuing long distance, I'm going to keep in touch but Japan is fucking far my guy. I've got my own life to get on with, it still kills me though.

Hey, barkeep, could you possibly get me a Lemonade, but make it as cold as you can without it freezing. Thanks.

Eh. I've been lurking around the boards for while now. ylyl, /pol/ rants, the porn, etc. I'm just your average joe. A classless denizen of 4chan. Maybe I'll post a few memes later, I don't know. It's a nice place you got here, barkeep. Comfy. I think I'll stay here for a while. Drink maybe. Just soak up the atmosphere.

Triple straight vodka on two rocks for me, please.
Just told my boyfriend we're freakin done.

>>35385284
Why won't you be seeing her again, Anon?

Personally, I'd be a bit hurt, too, but if she kissed you, it must not be that big of a deal, right? Maybe she was just teasing you?
As a formerly tall person, I used to tease short people about their height quite a bit. Maybe you should try just taking it in stride, laugh it off, you know?

>>35385464
Thanks barkeep. I doubt that my schedule wI'll let me see her. I chat with her via instant message occasionally, though and it's nice for the most part. I would regret it even more to not have a friendship, occasional and tenuous as it may be.

>>35384109

I doubt it. People who took their own lives IMO are the bravest of them all. I couldn't, at the end of the day I'm the coward here, the one who can't even take the final decision, stuck in the middle forever. They may have taken the "wrong" path, if you consider suicide as a bad thing, but at least they have taken one. You have taken the "right" one anon, I don't know. It's just that I can't take any. I wish I wished I was able to have courage to take whichever decision. I just don't give a damn, is it wrong?

Sounds like a sweet little thing. Reminds me of a girl I used to know, and had a solid chance to be with her. Blew it, of course, but the memory remains. Stay strong, brother. I'm sure something nice will come along your way eventually.

A cold lemonade to the lost soul at the table by the window. Cold, but not freezing. Enjoy your stay, make some friends. We've all got something in common here.

Good evening, barkeep, everybody. Hot chocolate please. And, uhm, do you have blankets by any chance?

I'll just sit in the armchair by the window and daydream about her, please don't mind me. It's one of those melancholic days. And music from the jukebox is just perfect. Thank you barkeep.

>>35385536
Thanks, barkeep. You seem like an awesome person so I hope you don't mind me asking for advice.

I have depression according to my college counselor and it seems to be eating away at me mentally (obviously) but also physically (at least once a day im told how much thinner ive gotten, its due to a loss of appetite). I've been in love twice in my life (i knew it was love because ive had/still have simple crushes) but it was of the unrequited variety and left me broken and severely damaged. In one case I only spoke way too late, and in another case, I didn't say anything at all and just watched her date someone 2 weeks after I had formally met her (i'd known about her before that, long story).

I feel that I will never be capable of loving again, especially since that last one was so perfect and fit my preferences to the letter. We're pretty good and close friends now, and for the most part I have zero feelings for her, but I have no idea how or where would I ever meet someone as perfect for me as her.
Also very unhappy about my major and extremely worried about future, career wise. Basically im a fucking mess.

Maybe I should start drinking alcohol?

If I have anything to say about it, we'll keep in touch for as long as I can keep it going. You're right, the job doesn't have to be the foundation but there's no denying that even the closest people have a habit of drifting apart when their daily routine is no longer the inciting incident for most of their interactions.

I understand where you're coming from regarding the girl. My reaction was a combination of laughter from the absurdity and respect for the honesty, with a tinge of hurt from the absolute blunt trauma force of the statement. I know she's a lovely girl at heart and that she wouldn't have intended it to be as harsh as I partly interpreted it. I don't see any situation happening where I "win her over" and it leads somewhere, and I'm okay with that. I realise that my feelings are probably a fleeting fancy rooted in being amazed that someone expressed any interest in me at all.

>>35385464
>>35385646
I'm sure I'll see her again at least a handful of times. She seemed to be genuinely disappointed that she wouldn't see me everyday at work and before saying our farewells, she told me that she really wanted to "be my friend" (I made a distinction between her saying that and not "I hope we remain friends" but I'm sure that's just me being the overly analytical person this kind of place attracts). Perhaps it was all just social niceties and none of it really meant anything though.

>>35385477
I mentioned in my original post that I have trouble accepting compliments, but that doesn't mean that I don't appreciate them. This was nice to read, anon, thank you.

>>35385765
Maybe one of us should open one, then. I'd certainly be a regular.

Maybe most drunk people tend to be too rowdy to really keep the atmosphere, and that's why there aren't many (if any) around. Or maybe without the income from people barhopping and doing pub crawls they have a hard time staying open?
Or a combination of the two, who knows?

Very true, the drifting apart thing. God knows how many friends i've lost to that. Then again, they were shit friends to be perfectly honest. It depends how much either party cares about the relationship, i suppose.

I probably would have had the same exact reaction as you, Anon. Being wanted is truly an intoxicating feeling (not that I would know), but you shouldn't let it get to you. Its easier said than done, but don't get too hung up. There's other, more deserving fish in the sea.

You have been in love twice, and that's twice as much as the times I've been in love. I still think of her, you know? Part of me still clings to her, hopes for a miracle. But I know she's happy with another man, happier than I would've made her. So I try to suffer trough it. I'm fine most of the days, but sometimes it gets hard. And then it's me who's sitting at the bar, asking the barkeep for advice.
That's no depression, friend. That's just regret eating at you. It's a different thing, not curable by medicine or therapy. It's something you must deal with on your own, head-on. Few of us can make it go away completely, most of us simply learn to live with it. And I don't think you should make it disappear. Carry it with you, as a reminder of a hard-learned lesson and a precious memory of a time a lot of us never get to experience in the first place.
As long as you haven't dealt with that regret one way or another, you will never find someone more perfect, because it's the regret itself that is making her perfect in your head. It will take time, maybe a long time. I'm still dealing with it myself, but I've been feeling better lately. Women seem prettier, and whatever flaws they may have don't seem all that significant any more.
Sorry, I don't seem to be of much help here. But I do understand what you're going through. That's the least I can offer.

>>35384109
Zarconi and coke please I need something sweet in my life that I keep turning bitter.

Im 25 and have next to no experience with women while sober.

This didnt bother me too much until a few of my friends have started getting engaged or as one of my friends girlfriends said to me just a few weeks ago when are you finally going to bring a girl to the table.

My best friend instantly picked up on it and sort of turned the tables on her by calling me a dark horse. Even though he disarmed it, The thought has sort of stuck with me.

I asked a few of my closer female friends what they think of me,whats right or whats off and they all pretty much came to the same point that im initially an extremely cold person who looks ready to snap or break.

Im just a bit lost I guess. While sober im a hardly functioning human with women but drunk me is something else altogether. Girls smile at me and come up to talk to me first. Theres no coldness or looks of worry or disgust.


I just dunno barkeep, I want them to like me while im just me but none ever do.

>tfw turning 30 next week

>>35385839
Thank you good Sir, but I'm really not that hungry. A cup of chocolate would do it for me.

I don't even know what it really is that bothers me. Every few weeks I'm in such a mood. I guess social reclusion is not too good for my mental health. I don't even know who "she" is. Just a figment of my imagination I really long for. I just want to love and want to be loved. I want to see her sleep. I want to see her smile after I crack a joke. I want to be embarrased for doing something autistic in front of her. I want to touch her soft skin. I want to hear her say "I love you, anon".

But welcome back to reality. Every day is the same, I practically don't go outside and have no human contact whatsoever. My life is meaningless and I'm just killing time. I really should apply for a job but I'm always postponing it to that mystical "tommorow". I guess I have to man up and just do stuff I have to do. Ehhh...

But please don't mind me, I don't want to bring anyone down. You should better tell me how are you doing? Would you like to share anything you have on your mind?

Also, please excuse my poor English as I'm not a native speaker.

>>35385974
Thank you, barkeep. I really appreciate your work here

I'm terribly sorry, sir, but we do not have rakija. Personally, haven't even tried it myself.
I'll be sure to order a bottle or two.
May I interest you in something else?

>>35386003
Two shots of EverClear, I'll be downing one myself, as my shift is ending. I'll get the coke in a minute.

>>35386205
Haha..only 30? Try 32, anon.

Barkeep, Whiskey Sour.

Let me tell you robots...sometimes, it doesn't get any better as you get older. Thing's don't just fall into place. You have to fight..claw, bite, wrestle, and kill your way to what you want. You gotta be aggressive, and fuck over other people. It's a shit world out there...and we robots are a dying nobler breed of men this worlds forgotten.

Cheers.

>>35386037
We'll see. There may be another chance to grab some drinks with these people on Saturday, I'll definitely be up for it but it depends if they can be bothered to make the effort too.

Yeah, it's just the novelty of experiencing people being affectionate towards me that is making me sad that I won't see them as often. She kept saying "You're going to make someone so happy one day" in such a way that made it sound like she wished it was her, or at least that she'd find someone who is completely like me except not me. Making others feel valued is the only thing I can do without making an effort to do so, it's just who I am. It may be rooted in the depressing soup of knowing what it's like to be overlooked and so I never want that for others, but I know she's right when she says it.

Fuck it, man, another beer please, barkeep!

This helped, barkeep. Thank you. Your words make sense, and I feel the same way about this:
>But I know she's happy with another man, happier than I would've made her. So I try to suffer trough it. I'm fine most of the days, but sometimes it gets hard.

I think my love for her transcended normal love. I no longer wanted to just be with her, I only cared about her being happy. I know her bf, he's a great guy, we've actually become good friends. I know she's happy, and in good hands. And that makes me happy.

Thank you for your kind words. And for the OJ. I was able to get some studying in, hopefully the exam will go smoothly tomorrow. Ill pay and see my way out.
I would love to return to this establishment, whenever time permits. You're a great guy. Keep up the amazing work.

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if I understand your order. What's Zarconi? I'm not familiar with a brand like that.
Your issue, however, is well-known to me. Cold disposition is how men like us have chosen to protect our fragile psyches from perceived dangers from the outside. Most of us have been warmer back in the day, and got hurt due to it. Becoming cold seemed like a logical choice at that time, but now, even as we've grown smart enough to realize that mistake, this old habit is hard to kick. I'd suggest spending more time with warm-hearted people. In a friendly manner, not a romantic one. The point here is not to copy their behavior, but to warm yourself in the heat they're generating. Spending more time with people like that might make you more relaxed and happy, which is exactly the qualities that you seem to be lacking right now. Is that an option?

>>35386299

Get me a fucking vodka


I'm an idiot who spent half a semester alone in a room with a cute shy girl and just sat on my laptop and ignored her until it was too late

I'm literally unironically the most hopelessly stupid person ever when it comes to relationships

fucking help

Evening Barkeep, bottle of Guinness please

Decided that I'm finally gonna take the plunge and try and get /fit/. I'm pretty desperate about getting laid before I hit 24 in a few years. Not sure if this will help but I gotta try something

Here you go, buddy.
My shift's almost at an end, sadly. Here's hoping my replacement gets here some time soon. Wouldn't want to keep you guys hanging.

>>35386547
oh shit brother, that's fucking wounding.
was it really awkward between you two in the first place or did you just immediately shut down and never talk to her

>>35386577
Thanks companero.
Got anything planned after work or you just gonna hit the hay?

Happens to the best of us.
This one's on me - I've been in the exact same situation. To idiots like us, and to learning from our stupid mistakes!

Hey bartender, I thought that I was finally going to get a girlfriend and maybe kiss a girl w/ this chick at Uni but she just stopped responding to my texts, I need something hard.

>>35386588
>>35386637

It just never occurred to me. It was a spare block for me so I just wasted it on my laptop in an empty classroom and she was doing pretty much the same thing. We sat on opposite sides of the room and glanced at eachother occasionally but never talked

worst part is I realized later that she'd been working at a theatre on the discount day I always attend for the last 2+ years so she probably recognized me and thought I just didn't care about her

and now I see her whenever I go to the theatre and we're going to the same university in the fall

I have no idea how I'd actually ask her out though so it's useless. She probably thinks I don't like her and that I've been ignoring her on purpose or something when I'm really just a stupid buffoon

We only have Guinness to pour, not in bottles, sorry. Will this do?

And another glass for >>35386707, who got snubbed recently. May not hit you in the head as hard as you might hope, but a man in your position will most likely end up texting her after his first few drinks, so you might want to not rush it tonight.

Whiskey with coke my man. Hehe yeah I didn't like it back in the days, but now I can't even start a day without adding it to my coffe.
I look sad? Well...

I lived pretty decent life you know? Well I was chronically depressed, but I had friends. I know hard to believe haha. I love them and they love me. I know that. And we weren't like full robots who just play games. We were a normies to the public, but robot in our own little circle.
But because I'm stupid I moved here across the fucking ocean man... I honestly I love living here, everything is so much better, but damn I miss my friends... Sure we text each other on normiebook, but it hurts seeing them posting pictures from birthday parties and stuff.
I'm all alone here. I don't know how to make friends anymore and even if I'd know I think I'm too picky at this point. No one will replace them.
I abandoned them on my own wish and now I have to deal with my decision.

Thanks for the drink man, and for listening. I haven't talked to anyone in weeks. See ya buddy.

>>35386791
that'll be fine Barkeep

Thanks

>>35386763
What's the worst that could happen? She says no and you go back to not talking?

Go for it, anon, and maybe she'll be pleasantly surprised that you do actually care.

No, no serious plans, just a good nights sleep. I'm working as a barkeep only part-time, and my other boss has been grinding me all day about making a few important calls tomorrow. Can't let myself fuck this up.

I'd like to announce that I'm ending my shift for tonight. The other barkeep seems to be late, but I hope you won't have to wait too long.

Cheers to you all, and keep it steady. We'll meet some other evening.

>>35386854
Thanks for the drinks, barkeep. Cya around.

>>35386854
thank you for your service barkeepbro! That chocolate was amazing.

>>35386830
I want to but I hate the way I look so I've been trying to get /fit/ and fix myself before I ask

But I probably never will because I'm too afraid that she doesn't like me at all
