How do I stop getting mad?
Nothing is satisfying and I don't have any passion anymore so I just spend my time getting pissed off.

Accept that getting mad doesn't help with anything and give in to the feeling of powerlessness. Swap it out for depression.

Sounds like a real upgrade champ

Request was to stop getting mad, not to actually feel good.
But really, I don't know sorry. I hope you can find something in life that makes everything worth it.
stop visiting /r9k/. more than half of threads here are made with the specific goal of pissing someone off.
if you don't want to leave 4chan altogether, try hanging out on a more chill board. I like /ck/ and /an/, they mostly just post pictures of food and cute animals and rarely ever argue about shit.

You don't have to believe in anything supernatural to learn from buddhism how to deal with emotions. The second one is probably the most relevant.
>the causes of suffering are craving and desire, and ignorance
realize that it is an unnecessary indulgence, basically. either a luxury or a sign of weakness.

>you suffer because youre dumb and wanting things is bad so just embrace mediocrity and failure
Buddhism not even once

the first point is that life is suffering. in order to enjoy life we must have craving, desire, and ignorance. all the second point is saying is that those are the causes of suffering.
You can choose to ignore the parts where it tells you what to do with that.
My personal goal is to be aware enough of my own suffering that if I am truly having a problem due to my own suffering, I know how to fix it. If I feel like I desire for everyone to be just like me, I can recognize that that is a desire, and thus I am bound to be dissapointed and suffer because of it. So when I am dissapointed, I can remember that, and think "I don't have to let this affect me, I only feel upset because I have chosen to desire this thing. I know that there is nothing objective about this desire, so I can choose to forget about it when I know more objectively that the desire isn't going to get me anywhere that I desire in general.
Like I realize that right now I have trouble relating to other people and overcoming my social anxiety. Instead of being depressed and lonely about it, I have decided as unemotionally as I could that I will instead try to spend a good amount of time working on myself before I try to really invest in other people. This is a balancing of my personal desires that I have estimated, and with that deliberate plan I can accept where I am.
If I had an issue that I didn't know how to deal with, or one which I definitely needed to solve, then I would make the effort to learn how to and solve it. This doesn't cause mediocrity and failure, it causes me to be more in tune with my real priorities, rather than some emotional narrative which is bound to confuse me and make me suffer more than I need to.
