you want to help me?
when I had my first suicidal thoughts, I had a endless list of reasons not to kill myself. now, years have passed, I still have suicidal thoughts. my list? only one entry, which is losing it's value day by day. that reason is my family. I had a mental breakdown this year and I came to realize, my family is just there to get me going in life, to make me independent, make me successful, make me a good person. I'm 22 yo and I'm none of that. I just want to go to sleep and never wake up again. I'm exhausted. I'm tired. I'm empty. I'm scared from myself. my mind is split. part of me just wants to finish this misery and my other half tries to contain this grudge, but my tolerance for my bad side increases day in day out. I lose my mind to this thing in my head. I don't know how long I can control it. but I know, once it unleashes, I'm guaranteed dead for sure.
here's a text I wrote once in a thread, where the question was
>what's holding you back from suicide
>>
I'm not a neet but how do I develop a personality
Im hollow and depressed
>>
Failed normie here.

I had decent looks before getting fat and in college I formed an idea about what kind of girls I can get that hasn't really held up as a 28 year old security guard.

I tend to quickly lose interest in girls willing to have sex with me over their various flaws(chubby, single mother, etc) and I know it's hypocritical.

Should I just be single forever? I like the idea of having a kid but feel it wouldn't be fair to get in an LTR if I know I'm going to lose interest in the girl.

>>36937179

I've had a weird fetish revolving around killing people and getting to play with their bodies ever since I was 6. I used to invent "plays" for me and my friends so I could do this to them. It also at some point inverted itself and I also fantasize about being the one killed. It's strange to think that as a child I was highly manipulative for sexual purposes and it wasn't until I was in my 20s did I learn to think about people as something more than potential sex objects. What the fuck is going on and how did this start so early.

Would you describe yourself as Nihilistic or chronically depressed ?

Nihilism is problem of lack of meaning in life while Depression develops through learned helplessness; Both can be tackled if you can muster enough energy to try. Go ahead tell me what is foundation of your suicidal tendencies.
>>
>>36938020

Developing a personality is primarily about building up on your inherent strengths; Have you taken any kind of personality quiz recently ? MBTI, Big5, StrengthFinder or VIA are all good places to start.
>>
I have pretty shallow emotions. I can control them at will. I always think about murder, but the thoughts are compulsive. It's the same with suicidal thoughts.
>>
>>36938072
>agoraphobic

Social anxiety can be countered through exposure therapy; If you are too scared to go out in public, try to start with little things; Maybe chat with someone online. do you play games, try team speak or some kind of online chat; If you can master that, try to go out in the public and just see if you feel comfortable around random strangers; maybe join a hobby so you can have some routine contacts. Just progressivly keep increasing contanct and interaction; you don't need to become a full blown extrovert but you should feel confident enough to feel good about yourself.
>>
>>36938082

Well, You may have psychopathic tendencies; Best you can do is mediate those tendencies. Remeber that these is a distinction between ideas and action; People who have unconscious fantasies are much more dangerous because they have no control over their ideas but if you are keenly aware of your dark thoughts, you can also achieve mastery over them.

Also, Do you feel like you can respect people ? Maybe only the part of them that is capable of killing you ? if yes then you can form a functional relationship over time, If no then you might feel confrontational which is not a good idea.

>>36938573

I'm not a bad person in my day to day life.
I do respect people and to be honest I think I am the worst person I know. I tend to see the best in people and I almost never fantasize this way about people I actually know.

I feel like there is a big disconnect between my sexuality and the way I actually see the world. I just don't know how this happened and how it started so early. I was literally obsessed with these fantasies as early as 6-7. I must have gotten them from somewhere but I have no idea where I could have picked something like this up.

Okay. I have many strange thoughts, but I'll tell you about the one I'm concerned the most about at the time.

Well, I am aware I didn't have a masculinity image in front of me when I was a growing up kid. For the most part, I got some ideas about being a man from mass media.

When I went to school, my illusions were shattered, as no one in that community respected the ideals I believed in.

Of course, I must also include the "way of thinking and acting like a man", i.e. non-verbal language, body language, some subtle hints, posture, etcetera.

Then, when I finished school and went to university, I began to experiment more freely. I wondered why some people get attention and some don't, and why the most of them are very social, talkative and have lots of "friends".

I failed, since I made my public image overly complicated. It was too tiring to keep it up, so I deliberately quit doing it and decided I'll behave in public like I behave when I am alone.

Of course, it retracted all of the people from me, with whom I was previously acquainted, since I'm typically moody, strict and serious.

I noticed that most of the people I saw really like to be pushed down by their superiors. For example, if I get to lead a group of students in a project, they somehow feel really comfortable with it, even if I force them to do their jobs properly, as they're no usually enthusiastic enough.

I thought the democratic way of leading people was the correct one, like "treat one another like you want to be treated yourself", but in my case, it doesn't work.

I must also mention I'm not an alpha, I never held hands with a girl, I am poor, and I have severe social anxiety.

I'm asking for help because I want to figure out on how to influence people more, and I feel I'm missing some semi-subconscious things the most social kids acquire in their earlier days.

I just fell off the wagon and don't know how to get back on.
I hadn't looked at porn in 2 months, caved last week, and have been on a huge binge ever since. Multiple 2-4 hour fap sessions per day for about a week now. The particular porn is of a fetish I would give anything not to have/enjoy, and whenever I'm done I feel like killing myself. The more depressed I get, the more I end up masturbating/looking at porn, and the longer the edging session goes.

What should I do?

Personality doesn't change; Their minor variations but drastic change often implies a major issue that you weren't able to resolve so you had to change in order to cope; not exactly healthy in the long run.

Hey OP

Here's one
I find it difficult to make friends with normies. Or people who don't have experience with depression. Even if we don't talk about it, it's still easier to make friends with non normies. I dunno
I'm lonely and I want to die I feel no meaning in my life haha :(
>>
>>36937179
I have a faulty brain thats resulted in crippling depression and near lethal insomnia. Something about serotonin and the pathways involved being either non-existent or fucked.
I can't take joy in anything, can't feel happiness, contentment, satisfaction, or basically any "good" emotion.
I hate people and interacting with people. I have no idea why. Simply being aware of their nearby presence for some reason annoys me to enough of a degree i resent their very person let alone if they actually talk to or touch me which for some reason i will hold an undying grudge against them for.
I'm lacking in empathy almost entirely. A good example was when that luge accident happened during the olympics and someone had to actually sit me down and explain why they were shortening the track and why everyone made a big deal of it. To me it was an expected outcome i thought everyone had accepted as they had told all participants ahead of time it was the hardest run made to date and possibly dangerous. I still don't fully understand it.

Other than that i've had that "call of the void" issue for the past decade. If i'm driving i'll have a brief flash where i want to pull into the oncoming lane or to ruin the shelves in the grocery store or to hit someone on the street. Its not very strong just a sort of an idea that pops into my head briefly and i get the feeling it would be the "right" thing to do.

Anyway, for as long as i can remember i've always viewed life as tedius and boring and for a good while i've wished to die. Personally the only real reason I haven't killed myself is i'm either busy doing other things, it would put others out, or I couldn't really work the energy up to actually do the act.

I usually just pass time with reading, games, or things like 4chan.

I'm 22 and asexual but i have an insane oedipus complex and mommy issues.I don't want to fuck girls or even date them, but i wish a girl would let me rest my head on her lap and have her stroke my hair. I also want to breastfeed. What is it and how do i make it go away? I know I'll never live it out in real life so I need it gone. I'm planning on buying a dummy tomorrow to soothe myself.

I'm a recovering pedophile and deeply ashamed that I ever got into that stuff in the first place. I was never a sexual predator, it was all just something I kept to myself for sexual release, but I feel so ashamed every time kids get near me because it just reminds me of how shitty a person I was for indulging in that stuff. I of course never seeked professional help because I never saw myself as a dangerous person (they also take the security of children over the freedom of a dysfunctional fetishist), but I told a few friends that sort of joke about the whole subject time to time. I'm afraid of the future if I ever get into a relationship. Is it something I'm ethically required to mention to a loved one? Is there a chance my awful "urges" will ever resurface? I'm at the point where it makes me sick just looking at the stuff, and it's been several months since I've gone back to it.

mh, in high school I was a bit edgy teen and always said jokingly I was nihilistic. I have problems of seeing a meaning in life. I also feel helplessness, like I'm stuck in a hole and my mind's repeating itself over and over again. "kill yourself. what are you living for? what's your purpose? you're shallow. noone likes you except your parents. you don't even enjoy your hobbies anymore so why do you keep breathing? " are the most frequent thoughts repeating themselves.
what do you mean with foundation? like which type of suicide I wanna commit?

18 Well I'm intp. I'm really healthy, got pretty good gains, go to a decent university. Virgin but have tongued a girl pretty easily. Love video games.
I'm pretty certain I'm a schizoid which is making my life difficult as I don't enjoy talking to many people.
Not depressed, incredibly content at the moment. I hope to have a stable job where I can have enough time to do my thing in a sanctuary of solitude.
Male
5'10/11
6 2/4 inch dick
around 67kg
around 20% bf
65kg bench for 3
dead lift 120kg for 3
front squat 90kg for 1

I fap to loli but don't wanna fuck little kids. I fap to traps but wouldn't fuck a dude. I just want a girl friend who's hot, I get along with on an intellectual level (don't want any of that emotional shit). Also it's really a necessity that she wears a tail buttplug with collar and animal ears and I wanna force her to orgasm whilst she's strapped up. I really don't care that I'm single, I could die a virgin.

I really need to get a well paying job after university however because I don not want to move back in with my mum.

Except that in the long term personalities can make changes. People may still tend towards acting certain ways but their personality does have the ability to change. The idea that personality is completely static was debunked long ago, as you'll probably learn once you get to sophomore year of college.

Sex and Violence are deeply connected because both are unconscious impulses and they often manifest as such; Children who haven't been particularly well socialized can often develop anti-social behavior. All I am suggesting is that being concious of these impulses is better than repression or sublimation. The fact that you are aware of these means that you are reletivaly healthy. These issues might remmerge when you try to be intimate with someone but if you are comfortable with them and can communicate effectively; Well, that's how a lot of kinky fetishes are born :D

Look, Satiating your need for social approval is deep driving force among people and I am not going to tell you that it's not important; It's very important to feel safe and attractive but clearly one has to play the hand they are dealt. Men have a very hard time with accepting their sense of inferiority and this conflict can be fuel for aggression;

So, how do you deal with it ?

Well, You can start by developing a skill; something that will give you a sense of inherent value and it will also contribute to financial stability.

> feel I'm missing some semi-subconscious things the most social kids acquire in their earlier days.

I can relate to that; almost all robots can. In my experience a lot of people simply don't enjoy socialization but they create this ideal image of themselves that is always happy and in sync with group; constantly high on positive emotion. In reality they always try to hard and expect too much. In such situations I think it is useful to control expectation.

I don't think you are asexual; Pretty much every guy has a oedipal complex and it's part of a healthy sexuality. Like a lot of guys you might not have had a strong male ideal to look up to even if you did you might still find it a little tough to sake off the mommy kink; That's fine though.

You don't make it go away; You marry a girl who reminds you of your mom.

>>36939807

Look, Depression is common; It develops when people regularly don't get what they want.

Nihilism on the other hand is for people of above average intelligence and high openness who feel like life is meaningless in a logical sense.

One can be both depressed and nihlistic and if one feels that it's all meaningless and things are not going your way. However, Nihlism often prevents one from even attempting to cure their depression because they are stubornly convinced that they have figured out the world and that it's all meaningless.

I think the best way to treat Nihlism by looking for meaning and taking on this problem head on. If you are reader, start reading Philoshpy; You will encounter this question of meaning repeatedly and I would that it is your best chance to find some thing real and tangible. Look into stoicism and existentialism in specific if go this route.
>>
>>36941841
i dont think u understand nihlism
Nihlism is an anti natalist point of view, nothing is worth anything therefor i am not going to kinda stuff

Ofc life is meaningless everyone knows that but knowing this doesnt make you a nihlist,

also

>>
>>36940530

I didn't need to know your dick size LMAO

I am INTP as well and that high in openness can make life very interesting but also very bizarre. You seem healthy enough and the fact that you are self aware about fetishes is a good sign.

However, fetishes are not real life and you should be aware of the distinctions; Try to get a proper relationship going.

I don't think looking for intellectual stimulation in an intimate relationship a good idea; Look for intimacy, comfort and understanding instead. I have noticed that relationships based on intellectual stimulation can get really competitive and superficial real fast.

If you follow nihilism and don't ready philosophy, you've essentially stunted your growth in the view of the world.

Personalities are not static but they also don't change drastically but remain relatively stable through out life. People test differently during times of some drastic transformation in life; For example during puberty or after marriage. It also changes during times of stress and so on. However, it tends to be temporary people tend to revert back when things normalize.

Also depends on the personality analysis tool; Jungian typology measures the underlying cognitive preferences while the BIG 5 is behavioral tool designed to measure superficial manifestations of ones personality.

With Nihilism you are merely scratching the surface of existentialism. There is whole lot out there if you really think this is problem then there is nothing more rewarding than exploring Philosophy. The existentialists in particular explore this problem in depth. I am personally in awe of Nietzsche almost constantly and I am convinced that he was the greatest Psychologist of all time.

I'm 25 and work a low paying job with few hours and have done nothing great in my life. My main problems are my ADD which keeps me from focusing on one thing for too long. My antisocial personality, which didn't manifest until a few years ago, but I'm not narcissistic or violent enough to have ASPD. Last my stubborn and procrastinating ways. I'll remain steadfast in not doing something I don't want to do for ages, which kept me unemployed for long stretches of time because I feel like no job will make me happy enough or at least not sad enough to apply. I've been at my current job for just over 2 years only because it's become comfy because I have a routine and my boss never makes me try to do anything new. Back to the stubbornness though, it's really detrimental because I will not even think about things that may benefit me if I don't like them.

All these things have kept me in a vicious cycle of depression and slight poverty. Now I'm highly isolated, don't go out much, and have literally no friends. Everytime I try to break the cycle and start up a healthy routine I stop after a short while. Help.

>>36939615

I may not be trained to tackle that particular fetish but I think it's worth making the distinction between fantasy and action. You seem self aware and the fact that you are actively tacking this problem is good. Although, You need to be exceedingly careful because and merely pushing your fantasies into the unconscious is dangerous strategy because one cannot actively control what is unconscious. Rember that the taboo atached to pedophilia is not merely arbitary but it's there to protect the most vulnerable section of the society. Don't focus on guilt because people can often revel in guilt; instead focus on your responsibilities. I would suggest looking into stoic philosophy.

Psychology Undergrad is pretty worthless, I agree. However, that is not case if you go for further studies. Psychology is really a pretty flexible degree in that regard too; You can pair it with almost anything; Economics, Medicine, Computer Science, Management; The possibilities are endless desu
>>
>>36938649

You seem to feel pretty guilty about your fetish and your inability control it; My first recommendation would be to get over your guilt because guilt just reinforces the cycle. People learn to revel in their guilt which becomes kind of fetish in itself; You see it all the time on R9k. It's better to treat your fetish as mental disease to actively get a hold over it; It will be painful and you will relapse but if you can ward off the post fap guilt and the inevitable self loathing, you can learn to get on with it.

>>36943004

A lot of people don't really consider MBTi to be accurate but in my anecdotal experience I find to be seriously accurate on many levels of analysis. As an INTP i am very often super self conscious of my looks but I also have narcissistic streak and sometimes I just love the way I look and feel. It's a pretty funny contrast really.

Also, about your relationships; According to socionics, which is a russian variant of the MBTI; INTPs match really well with ESFJ's and ENFP's, This coupling is not really obvious because both those types are such normies and not stimulating at all but they are emotinally supportive and loyal which is very important for me at least.

That's your graduate thesis or what ?

Do you think research in social sciences a viable career choice ? I am confident about it as an undergrad degree because it's flexible but I am not sure if I want to go in for research just yet. I wanted to study Philosophy but I didn't see any prospects there at all except a career as a writer or a teacher.

I can't get a boner without hurting my GF during sex. Fortunately for me, she likes pain. I just don't like the fact that I need to strangle, claw, bite into her flesh to keep myself hard and to enjoy myself.

Even outside the bedroom, I want to hurt people, but I never will of course since it's against the law. I'm also capable of feeling empathy. I've never felt like I lack power or anything, I just for some reason get a huge dopamine rush when I hurt a person.

That's funny because women are complete shit at psychology; It's just that they have that comforting female quirks that calms anti-social males and can relate to depressed middle aged women.

i think this is OP? I'm foreigner to the english language so maybe i couldnt express myself how i wanted to. I know there's no logical meaning in life and there's no literal purpose except for living and dying. What i also know is, that i can use my time living to do stuff that can acutally make me feel happy/accomplished/satisfied. The problem i'm struggling with, is the lack of motivation and emotionlessness towards everything. i dont wanna kill myself; i dont wanna be depressed; i dont wanna be a nihilistic asshole who just does nothing. Wasting time with doing nothing while being alive is even more retarded imo. i dont think reading philosophy will change anything because i already know most of the key things to existentialism, stoicism, utilitarism or hedonism.
am i just being retarded or cant i just see the link inbetween all of this to me?

Hope this is useful or at least make you think...

I will tell you what I believe, not the absolute truth most people care about. This is a personal opinion (as are the rest).

There is no better or worse life, only valuations. Everyone has their own way of seeing things, and yes, they may even contradict what you think is absolutely true.

In fact, neither you do have a constant valuation of the good and the bad. I do not see the world the same way now as 10 years ago. I do not do the same things, neither I have the same friends or ask the same questions. My mindset has changed, but that does not mean my current life sucks. It's just different from the past one.

Forget what others call success. Their concept of happiness does not have to make you necessarily happy.

My lifestyle does not have to be like the world says it should be. I do not mind being considered a failure as long as I believe in myself and what I am doing. Honestly, I'm not going to be sad because someone is better than me. It's their life, and if they do well, well for them. Let me take care of mine.

When confusion strikes in, I try to focus on the situation, not just complain and cry in a corner. I am responsible for my decisions, both for good and bad, but I do not constantly stress over what I should or should not do. I simply know when I fucked up and try to improve based on that.

Sometimes I've worried too much about these stupid things just to realize later that I worried about nothing.

Anyways, to assimilate others expectations just because your mom said it's good for you seems like plain suicidal.
>>
How do you call it when you really, really don't like yourself as a whole? It's weird to explain, it's not the usual "I hate myself" thing but whenever I try to imagine a happy place or image it only works when I'm not inside that. As soon as I place myself there, for example when thinking about the future and what I might do when I manage to feel better, I shudder and feel utterly disgusted by the mere thought of it.

Also, whenever I interact with someone I afterwards think it would have been better to not do that. I also can't get emotional or physically close to people without being weirded out to the point where I want to push them away, even if it is close family.
Weird thing is I actually would love to be able to enjoy all these things but I can't.
>>
>>36945720
>i think this is OP

Yes, It's OP. What you are describing is lack of zest in life, something I am personally familar with and something that often rears it's heard in my life even still. I do feel that Philosophy is helpful for me but I understand if it's not particularly appealing to you.

Look, you need a reason to live; something that is rewarding, something that is meaningful on multiple levels. Can you conceptualize something that might serve this purpose ? Do you feel deeply about something; Family, Art, Humanity, The wilderness or anything like that ?
>>
>>36937179
Hey, I'm a really negative dude. I struggle with what I think is low executive function, low self esteem, and anxiety. Being self-critical is important. And it's a trait that I actually like in myself. But thinking objectively, I beat myself up way too much over stuff. And then I dwell on it needlessly for days, weeks, or even months. It's hard to handle all my worst emotions. And they're the ones that come naturally. So feeling compassion for myself is hard, even when I know I ought to. I just get the feeling like I'm lying to myself, you know? I can tell myself what I want. But my worst expectations feel like they're the most right.

Lately, I've taken to visualizing these positive feelings as something external. When I want to feel self-compassionate instead of self-destructive, I imagine what it must be like to be motherly. I imagine that there are whisp-like arms around me, and a voice telling me I'm OK. And it actually works, I feel comforted by this.

When I want to feel good about doing something, I imagine some bartender: wise, selfsure, and suave to my best approximation. I've been drilling it to be habit to imagine this person approving when I do the things that I feel are best for the situation. It doesn't matter how trivial; necessary chores, doing well at work, pushing my comfort zone- whenever I imagine a smile and an "atta boy" it actually feels fucking good.

So writing this out, I guess I feel like I'm giving a lot of parental reinforcement my best substitute. And I've definitely always been a little distant from my folks. But I can't really accept praise from them either. I haven't been able to accept praise from them since I was 5, and realized that they doled it out the same whether I worked hard or slacked off on the drawings I showed them. It's hard to accept praise from anybody. What should I do?

Have you heard or read anything about Viktor Frankl's Logotherapy? I can't decide whether it's legitimate or bull shit, there isn't hardly any discussion in either direction about it, but it seems like it should at least be helpful in today's society wherein 'the depression epidemic' has a firm grip.

What is Logotherapy in a nut shell? The idea that humans need a 'meaning' in their life to avoid the existential vacuum / pit of nihilism which will inevitably draw them into depression/suicide without it.
>>
>>36945921

>I struggle with what I think is low executive function

On the contrary, You seem to have a strong handle on things and your imagination based approach to control your emotions is actually a pretty neat cognitive hack and there is research to back it up; it's basically akin to planting ideas into brain your and these ideas are likely to resonate in your dreams and alter your personality over time; The fact that you figured that out just tells me that you have strong and independent sense of self and that you are high in openness to experience.

If you are chronically depressed and struggle with crippling depression; Look into Martin Seligman's PERMA model and maybe take a look at his approach. Look to your strengths but be aware of your weakness instead of repressing them into the unconscious.

>It's hard to accept praise from anybody.

That is because you have strong sense of yourself and consider yourself a better authority on yourself than others. There is nothing wrong with this but you will get less sensitive with regard to praise when you start feeling that you deserve respect in general.

do you think its more of a physically induced problem or a mentally one? should i look for physical satisfacion like food, sports, body contact? i was talking to someone i know irl and he told me, my schedule was way too overstacked and i should do less. he thinks i'm stressed out to the point i dont enjoy anything. youre telling me the oppposite. that's why i mention it.

Yes, Man's Search for meaning is a great book.

The idea about meaning is fairly prevalent in psychological literature but the focus on positive emotion often disregards this aspect.

Its also worth noting that most people are not concerned with this pursuit of meaning because they exist and have been raised in a value that inherently contains meaning and most people don't feel the need to question them.

On other hand, people who are of above average IQ and also high in openness are particularly and peculiarly concerned with this idea of external meaning; It's almost a religious endeavor as Jung proposed. A lot people settle for post modernism or some variant of Nihilism but it's not a healthy state and my recommendation for these people is always to continue their pursuit to it's logical end; Study philosophy.

>>36946381

>What do you mean with family? like my own one or making a family?

Both actually. Having a healthy family is perhaps the biggest predictor of healthy psyche as young adult. However, I would say that the idea of creating your own family and having children is the "KEY" to staying healthy as an adult.

Why ? Simple, It's your only future. I can understand that a young adult male is not liekly to consciously worry about your future prospective children but if you think about, it's the holy grail, the ultimate meaning in life; Your flesh and blood, your own future.

Really, spend some time thinking about this stuff.

>do you think its more of a physically induced problem or a mentally one? should i look for physical satisfacion like food, sports, body contact?

Physical health and psychological health both support each other. Lack of proper nutrition is actually leading cause for depression that often goes unchecked; make sure you eat well and get plenty of exercise; generic advice that always goes long way.

> i was talking to someone i know irl and he told me, my schedule was way too overstacked and i should do less

It's not about doing less or more; do as much as makes you feel satisfied. It;s about finding meaning in what you do. People who hate their job and have no skill at can still enjoy their work if they feel like it's contributing to something they care about which is inevitably their family in most cases and it's perfectly healthy to do so in my opinion.

>because they exist and have been raised in a value that inherently contains meaning
What do you mean? Religion, which is eroding into modern secularity that /does not/ have stable meaning?

I've been trying to grapple with religion, particularly Christianity, for myself and I've decided that it provides a massive pro over secularity: a meaning, identity, and hope outside of the material world (ie cannot be damage or destroyed). Yet it also has that glaring flaw of being unable to confront empiricism.

Thus I unironically believe we need a new religion the likes of which Eckhart Tolle and Bishop John Spong extol.

Look, Happiness and postiive emotion in general is over rated; People can learn to enjoy themselves without being pumped with positive emotion. Maybe you are person who cares about something more than happiness; something deeper, why not look to that instead of trying to artificially become a happier person.

There is quote from Nietzsche that I can't seem to find because I don't remember the exact words; IT goes something like this; Serious men try to strangulate happiness because they don't want to let it go.

Point is; Don't try to hold happiness in the palm of your hands, try to enjoy things in the moment but also learn to let go without feeling sad.

I'm okay looking, have an okay job, I'm pretty smart and have lots of cool hobbies. I just can't stand women. I mean I don't hate them or anything, I just don't like being around them, talking to them or god forbid invite them to stay in my house. It's just something about their personalities that bores me to death and sometimes even enrages me a little.

I don't see this as a huge problem, but as I get older I loose more and more friends to women and they even drag in more women. Some of them are getting pretty intrusive, because they are getting old and lonely or whatever. So basically I need to quit those friendships and getting lonelier by the years. I don't even care that much, but I think I'm getting weirder and weirder since I don't really partake in much social gatherings anymore. I think my coworkers start to feel uncomfortable around me, so it might start to mess with my working opportunities.

Doctor, what do?

You are correct. I've always thought financial stability and stability in general is usually a powerful force which contributes to inner regulation, and the initial financial stability can be acquired if someone is able to deal with their primal desires, i.e. social appreciation via premium goods purchase when it is not a necessity.

Rather than "proving" something to someone, I would rather obtain some particular skills which will, in turn, slowly shape me into a better, less awkward person. And I know some things I am quite good at, despite of my education-employment vector taking an unfortunate turn. It was, too, an experience though.

Thanks. This is not a revelation for me, but your tip is one of many. I'll continue working towards my goal.

Hey, If you are looking to develop new skills; Look into online certifications and MOOCs. You can choose from variety of course and you can get a certification at the end for your resume. I really like Coursera because of the variety but Udacity is also a good one.

>I cut (edgy I know)
I think I can conceptually understand most if not all mental illnesses that exist. But cutting really is something, that completely baffles me. How on earth does anybody even get the idea of doing that. I mean even if you really really like pain, there are way better and way less literally scarring things you could do. How about bathing in capsaicin or even electrocuting yourself? Or kick yourself in the balls or anything. Why cutting? Isn't this in the end just some kind of cry for help meme, that kids got from movies?

I have a sexish question. My tastes in pornography are usually very vanilla. But one fetish that concerns me is women getting dicked by monsters. I can't say I have rape fantasies, I don't think I self insert as monster or girl, and i don't think it's a voyeur thing either. What could it be?
>>
>>36947662
I guess it's mostly that, a meme. I do it because I'm sick in the head and wanna show people just how much I hate them. At least I am not claiming it's not a horrible and pathetic thing to do I guess.

Those "how to be a man" lessons were taught so guys can get friends. Girls go through the same things. In this world, it's hard to find someone who accepts you for who you are. Especially if you seemed like a different person your entire life.

INFP's are tough to deal with; The toughest psychological nuts to crack because their depth of introverted feeling is too deep to for anyone to superficially get a handle on. Stop cutting yourself though and get a pet that you are healthy enough to care for it; it will give you external object to project your positive emotions to.

I think INFP's will appreciate pic related

>I don't want to be popular. Social popularity is overvalued and not needed for my particular style of life. I, rather, want to exploit weak and willing people better without feeling any backfire of tenderness.

But why do you want to exploit weak people
>>
>>36947744
Hm so in the end you mostly do it to affect other people? It's just quite strange, when you consider how much balls it takes to cut yourself. Maybe it would be easier to directly fuck with other people, instead of being extremely passive aggressive. Also I wouldn't really think that other people care that much, they might pretend that they do. But most will just ignore you and think that you are pathetic.

I'm serious about the following:

I have realised that all my failures both personal and professional are due to fear. Is there anyway to move toward becoming genuinely fearless?
>>
>>36947908

I'm serious pic related is a Space Marine from Warhammer40k. Aside from various physical enhancements they have been psychologically conditioned to feel absolutely no fear. Can this be done to some degree using current physiological techniques?
>>
>>36947908
well you can get dangerously accustomed to fear if you start doing dangerous things. Maybe start with riding motorcycle, rock climbing, base jumping and so on. Only side effect; you might really die from this.
>>
>>36947883
Well, it's definitely also an "I'm hurt, you hurt me" thing. Sometimes when certain people don't react on my passive-aggressiveness the way I want them to, I just feel absolutely powerless, and that's my escape.

Also, it doesn't really hurt THAT much, gives a nice rush though.
>>
>>36948002
>>36947883
I think I read your comment wrong. I don't have the balls to be directly aggressive, so I found this to be possible instead.
>>
>>36948002
Haha ok, I guess I understand way better now. So thanks for this. I still hope you quit it, there have to be better and more efficient strategies to deal with things. But hey, as long as you don't bleed on my carpet, you are free to do whatever.
>>
>>36947981
>Can this be done to some degree using current physiological techniques?

Not at your age
>>
>>36948059
Haha, I realized it sounded a bit crazier in my first comment. I have an appointment at a clinic soon, so I'm able to get the help I need from there.
>>
>>36948122

Interesting, I assume you mean this could be done with children but not adults? Can you go into detail as to why this is?
>>
>>36948165
Hoping I'm able to*
>>
>>36948031
Yeah I don't like to be aggressive either, in fact I really struggle sometimes with standing my ground. Good thing that I'm pretty buff, so people don't dare to fuck with me. However, I would still take any embarrassing or challenging social situation over cutting myself. I do believe you that it doesn't even hurt that much, but believe me, for "normal" people it takes lots of courage to cut themselves.
>>
>>36947996

Those where my thoughts, "become less afraid of scary things by doing scary things". I guess that side effect is necessary part
>>
>>36948179

You can teach a child anything, you can convince children the earth is flat the stars are dead puppies and kittens and that they were born from an egg.

>Bart: Like my sainted mum used to say: Get 'em young enough and the possibilities are endless.
>>
>>36948302

Is there no way to overcome (or at least modify) childhood conditioning? Past a certain age is the mind "fixed"?
>>
>>36948219
Yeah, I'm a fucking twig. I think I would maybe be more inclined to be aggressive if I was buff.

Oh yeah, the first 2 times I did it I couldn't press hard enough to do it properly either. You get desensitized quickly though.
>>
>>36948165
Well I wish you the best of luck, however be careful around the health industry. Those sneaky bitches will hook you on the strangest drugs and make you even more dependent on them. Just be aware and do your own research on things and don't trust people with a degree. You are just as capable as them and you can become a way better specialist on your specific condition than they will ever be.

I know sometimes it's really hard to get your ass up and take things in your own hands. But many mental conditions are really a product of poor life choices or certain unfortunate events. The only real cure is: eating healthy, getting fit, educate yourself and try to become the best human you can be.

Since no-one answered you.

I make "girl getting dicked by monster" porn and so do a few people I used to know. We got to talking about and we came to the conclusion it's the "contrast" that we found erotic. The contrast between the hot beautiful delicate girl and the gross big ugly brute fucking her. Basically beauty and the beast, know what I mean?
>>
>>36948381

You can modify it through modelling and motor imagery techniques

Althought you won't be able to fully recondition yourself, the military tries to do that all the time and they've had mild success.
>>
>>36947207
I don't really get what you're trying to say.
>>
>>36948611

Thanks, is there anything I should take into consideration before reading into this further and attempting to condition myself?
>>
>>36948911

>Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.

Was what I was told when I did it many years ago, be careful what you turn yourself into.
>>
>>36948582

>I don't think I self insert as monster

Of course you do or you would not be able to get off.

It's literally the unconscious "beast" women you that wants to ravage women but you can't relate to consciously because your probably a nice guy who treats women nice. Psychology is a game of contrasts.

JUST LEARN MARTIAL ARTS LMAO
>>
>>36949216

Already did 2 years of jujitsu. what that accomplished was teaching me how to fight and to a large degree removed fear during a fight.

But there's a difference between the guy who gives off the aura of "don't fuck with me" and the guy who is scared but manages to kick his ass through training.

But you're not interested in any of that, you're here to troll.

>Of course you do or you would not be able to get off.

So guys who fap over lesbian porn as self inserting as one of the girls?
>>
>>36949381

what is your meme personality type ? Are you INFP or an INTP by any chance ?
>>
>>36949481

I never enjoyed lesbo porn; I want to see a girl get dicked to get off. Lesbians are cock teasers as best.

You are healthiest person on this thread. Plus you got a hint of autistic superpowers. Congratulations.

>>36949535

INTJ-T according to the test that seems to be here everyday

>>36938020
Youre just autistic
There is no cure
>>
>>36949834

That means you have potential. Keep shaking your dick but don't do it in the open because you are an introvert who is designed to stay in the background. Embrace the meme.

When I was 17 I had a surreal six days where I didn't feel "real".
I don't know how to explain it, I felt like I didn't really exist, like I was a zombie and my body was just going through the daily motions.
I had no real awareness of my surroundings, people were talking to me and my brain literally couldn't retain a single word. I couldn't comprehend anything that was happening around me, like I was in a dream for six days, and on the seventh day when I woke up I felt normal. I never had that kind of feeling again.
I'm 22 now and that feeling still scares the fuck out of me when I think about it. To this day I'm still trying to figure out what happened and how to prevent it from ever happening again. I didn't take any drugs or anything, and I felt perfectly fine the day before I started feeling hazy.
