Grow Up

How?


Original comment 878

>>35473253

Why does growing up have to be synonymous with giving up all that's fun?

>>35473253

I think many of us are Peter Pans for various reasons.

I know the meme is that we're fat neckbeards with autism, but from occasional pic threads (which are cancer btw) most bots look indistinguishable from normies & the odds that more than a handful of us are autistic just doesn't seem plausible.

I know I have personal reasons that I suspect have caused the Peter Pan complex, and when you refuse to act grown up, at least after uni, you will not get a gf bc they start looking towards stability stuff.

t. here bc don't wanna be normie

So what did your girlfriend give up for you, OP? How is she "improving" herself?

>>35474498
She's getting her MA in CE and working at a job, we live at the same apartment so the cost of rent is 50/50.

>>35474590

But what did she give up?

>>35473253
OR, how about giving up on 3d entirely and finding the perfect waifu?

She used to play video games, watch a lot of movies. Now she has to work so she can pay off her books and rent (she has a full ride scholar), She doesn't go out as much due to her studying like 5-6 hours almost every weekends.

>>35474754

Agree with OP. Used to be one of you faggots too now I got a gf and a job because I don't sit on my ass playing vidya everyday and cry on an anime forum.

>>35474960
No girl likes me. I can't ask randoms on the street either.

>>35474963
Not one, but many from my university. I'm just giving an example.

>>35475013
Go to clubs, any meetings, or hell even a coffee shop (that's how I met mine).

>>35475011
It's also not yours, normie. Hell, plebbit might be better suited for your ilk.

>>35474859
Exactly. Too bad that some people from this board would rather bitch and complain, instead of doing something about it.

If you want a gf you have to be willing to change yourself dramatically for her. That's just how it is in this day and age, women have all the power in dating

Its small price to pay to be honest.

I do have respect for people like you because you are the foundation of our greatest nations, the serious types who have families and big boy jobs and stuff, but I don't want to be like you, primarily all of your obligations culminate into aiding a dying and corrupt system that doesn't genuinely care for its people, and you'll raise children just to throw them into it.

>At the end of the day, they're just holes, who gives a shit?
Come now, anon, you surely must recognize there's a social component to it as well. If you don't have or can't get a gf, people are going to think you're a loser

>>35475184
I don't have a social group. It's just me and my wife along with one friend. I don't have a lot of time to go out with friends because I'm at school and I work as well.

>>35475262
>people are going to think you're a loser
And?

>>35475268
It's not just friends, anon. Your personality is crafter to assist you in dealing with employers, schoolmates, your wife, etc. I don't hold you in contempt for being a conformist - the supermajority of people are. But I know what you are, even if you don't.

>>35475308
And, that person will become self-loathing. Do you care if you don't have a gf or friends? If not then this thread isn't for you.

You know what they say about assuming things. Not that they're still time to convince anyone you aren't shitposting.

>>35474467
I can really identify with this. I've recently realized that I really, really don't want to act like or be perceived as anything but a guy in his teens or twenties. Even if I *could* become a successful/respectable "normal" 30 or 40-year old, I wouldn't want to. I believe that when I can no longer pass for a twentysomething, I'll fall into an even deeper depression and probably kill myself.

>dude let's project all my personal failures onto some hobby or other irrelevant feature of my life instead of taking responsibility for myself

>>35475308
And if you want to have any sort of successful future, that's anathema.

Its really not. People who are hell bent on getting a gf without even figuring out how to be happy on their own are just destined to become miserable cucks, they just want to use vagina as an escape, no different than video games and shit.

>>35475786
You'll probably find someone at a con or tumblr. My friend went to a gaming club and met is gf through there. But she looks like a 4-5/10 in my eyes.

I could chart every significant event of your entire fucking life, and everyone like you, on this fucking timeline. Every last fucking achievement.

You are pathetic, OP. But then again, you were never the bright kid doing stuff nobody else did yet. You were always the kid looking around trying figure out what the correct thing to do was. What the appropriate way to act was. What the acceptable songs to have on your phone your.

You will live your entire life in this sad way.

Anon, even myself, as a resident normie, can see this is stupid.

Why would someone want a girlfriend they have to change for? Why not try to find someone with similar interests instead?
There are fucktons of girls out there, even in their 30's, that are not just casual anime fans, but fullblown fujoshits.

Because I did that already and then lost it all so now all I have are my anime, video games, porn and chicken tendies

No, op.

Anime is quite literally all I have left.

I'm almost a wizard. I've destroyed my body. I have no friends. I work a dead end job and have no prospects or interests.

I don't even like vidya anymore. I can't even be bothered to play it and don't enjoy it.

Anime is all that's left. When I watch anime I can put my problems aside for a short amount of time, and there's an infinite amount of anime for me to watch. I will watch anime until I finally work up the courage to buy a gun and blow my brains out.

> I always start hating them after a certain point

Wait, does that mean you rewatch them? Also, why do you start hating them?

>>35477446
I start hating them when they drag on and on and I feel like I just want them to end so I can watch the next one. This is particularly the case for anime with 26ep seasons so I prefer the shorter ones.

I've never rewatched an anime even once.

I like how people keep trying to convince themselves that growing up means giving up things they like to fit some social standart or they won't be accepted.

Growing up is being comfortable who you are and not giving a FUCK what people think.

you have to find social situations where it is easier for them to start a conversation than to ice you out, find a hobby or join a sports club, doesn't have to be anything super chaddish but something like archery can be fun and a great way to meet people. this works for people who want friends too.

frogs are a damn good reason to keep living.

I never want friends or a gf again. Or a job if I can avoid it, but I guess that's less likely.

I'm still incredibly lonely, though. But it's a mile better than the alternative.

I am an individual, and I will not change for anybody, not even myself. Because the reason for changing myself, would be for them...

I am who I am, whatever that may be. A sweetheart, nice and kind, or a fucking cunt... But if nobody can accept you for who you are then they can go and fuck themselves.

Otherwise you'll just be as fake and vapid as they are

You mean you pay a landlord for the privilege of living on his property, it is not your "own" apartment.

IMO renting is only a few steps above anime and videogames.

>>35473253

Terrible way to give advice.
"Anime and video games" are concrete things with strong positive connotations to most people here.
"Self-improvement" is nebulous and abstract.
So is "gf" and "job". Actually "job" doesn't even sound that appealing if you like the wagecuck threads.

Op is 'retard, homosexual, and a cuck. My self improvement regimen includes anime vidya. It's not self improvement if I quit lifting or sawing money is it? I'm not giving up any part of my improvement. Me first, always and forever. Even if she were an 80lb 4'10 ginger ballet dancer with a pathological level of submissiveness it's still not worth quitting my self improvement.
