Psychological Issues #?????

Has the world gone mad, where all and sundry are starting threads willy nilly?

Anyway, I'm decent. Finished with the longest week in recent memory, thank God. Was feeling a bit off by the end of it. Glad I could leave it at that. Unusual sensations such as feeling as though I was at work just before I fell asleep, feeling as though I was asleep when I got to work. Still not sure I'm awake now desu. Time is a slippery wicket.

>>37308096
Hey thanks for starting. What's going on with you?
>>37308235
I knew you'd make it Facet. enjoy your well-earned break.

>>37308235
The world was always mad, cruel and tragic, Facet. All we can do is adapt.

We haven't spoken before, one-to-one. What drives you here?

>>37308096
I drank some alcohol today and I texted to like 6 different whores in my city, none of which has written me back yet

I also bought some a lottery ticket for 10 bucks, if I win I'll make every bitch I like beg to suck my balls

I got a job interview on Monday. I can't wait to fuck it up

>>37308353
Why would you fuck it up?

>>37308096
I officially have no friends. I spend every weekend alone and it's the worst... I'm still in high school (18) but not graduating for another year because I was held back. Worst part is I used to have some friends but they slowly started talking to me less and less. Every attempt I make to ask people to hang out, I get politely rejected. Don't know what else I can do, I'm so fucking lonely.

>>37308396
Fuck dropped my name again. Dammit.
>>37308410
Don't sweat it too much, I lost all my friends after high school. After a few years reconnected with a few and now am great friends with two other living breathing humans.

>>37308096
Morphine, is how I'm feeling right now. Hope you guys are having at least a semi pleasant evening or whatever is the time where you live.

>>37308313
I am well.
>>37308353
Do your best. Even if you fuck it up, you tried with all you could.
>>37308410
What are you doing to make new friends and how did you lose your old ones? Tell us more.
>>37308473
Oh yeah, drinking ice cold beer in the heat and feeling good.

I'm at work, its 3pm here. Why are you on morphine Arthur?

>>37308506
That's good. I have 3 more hours of work then going home.

>>37308513
I had surgery on wednesday and got out of the hospital just today. Feels good to be home.

First time posting in this sort of thread.

I have an uncanny attraction to my canine friend, Bobby. He's the family dog, and he's hot as fuck.

What should I do?

>>37308585
Uncanny but not uncanine
What kind of dog is it?

>>37308546
What was the surgery again? You talked about it before but I can't remember.
>>37308585
What about the dog attracts you?

>>37308440
Yes but what do I do in the meantime?
I'm getting worse and worse having to sit at home all the time doing nothing.
>>37308506
I'm trying to be more open to talking in classes and have asked acquaintances to hang out after school. They've said no.
The old ones just started thinking I was annoying/weird I guess, I'm not really sure. I've tried a couple times to reconnect and hung out with them once but it was obvious they didn't want me there, and every time after that, my friend's said "oh sure, I can't today but some other time!" and it never happens.

>>37308633

It's a Great Dane.

>>37308634
>What about the dog attracts you?

These taut muscles, that general shape, that dog face, that dog ass. Everything in that dog makes me diamond.

>>37308636
Then you're doing something that repulses them. What do you think it could be?

>>37308667
Nothing, I just don't talk a lot but I've been trying to make jokes more, so I'm not that awkward.. The only other thing is my appearance. I used to look good but now I don't because I'm at an awkward stage rn. Nothing I can do about that that I'm not already doing.

So, is anyone going to help me with my dog problem? It's rather a biting problem, and I'd like some swift help.

>>37308797
Biting? Ouch.
Do you have anyone attractive but also human you could distract yourself with?

>>37308634
I got rid of my boobs on my way to trannydom. Apparently the surgeon took that opportunity to weight them and so I lost 4.5lbs boobs. No idea these things could be so fucking heavy.

>>37308877
>Do you have anyone attractive but also human you could distract yourself with?

I'm not attracted to humans at all.

>>37308937

Damn...

>>37308320
That's a good question. I suppose there's a sense of community and kinship here for one. That is to say, there are people with various states of mental illness, some more severe than others, and some varied but generally negative life experiences. Thus, perhaps more than anywhere else on the site I feel as though I'm among people to whom I can relate to a certain extent. Plus, there are a few different characters who are known to one another. I think we're building a sense of community.

The biggest thing is probably that I have some fairly extreme problems and experiences, and in general I feel accepted rather than judged for that here. Not only that, I cope better socially in a virtual space such as this. Glad to be home with the curtains drawn and no one physically here to bother me for the night except my cats. It's the paradox of hating company but needing interaction.

>>37308313
Thanks. I did, but I'll enjoy things being more sedate this coming week.

>>37308937
Do you have a discord, man? Fellow tranny, maybe we could talk

I want out of this fucking rollercoaster, sometimes I just wish I'd forget about drawing forever and be happy.

but also I'm drawing right now, and even though it's not making me feel better I'm still enjoying it.

>>37309001

Have you drawn some dogs?

Sup guys. Thought of a pretty good business idea.
To depressed, unmotivated, and poor to be able to do it.
Anyone ever feel for a couple of seconds throughout the day a familiar feeling that you don't feel anymore. It almost feels like happiness, it comes on fast and sometimes from a memory or sometimes out of nowhere. It usually only last about 2-5 seconds and then the feeling stops. When I feel happy now it doesn't feel anything like this feeling. Is this just nostalgia or something more?

Is this the thread where some anon helps others? I heard of it and wanted to check it out.

>>37308973
Me of course

>>37309144
That's about the strength of it. Various people with backgrounds in psychology or else a layman's interest stop by and everyone tries to help one another if they have any relevant experience. What's up?

It's become so hard to relax lately, and when im finally feeling well and relaxed someone disturbs me and I can't get back into it again.

I just want to lay down and listen to my music and drift away, the only few joys i still have in this world, two simple things, am i asking for too much?

>>37309144
Welcome lad, have a seat, get a name, and get stuff off your chest with people you can trust.
What's bothering you?
Well, you are here so there must be something.

>>37309185
>What's up?

I'm mostly curious about this thread. I'd rather not share anything of my own for the moment.

>>37309213
By all means, say as much or as little as you like. There are many lurkers and occasional posters.

>>37308978
I do, for some reason it's not willing to fire up right now though.

What's the psychological damage from not having sexual and physical exchanges with a loved one on a regular basis?

>My goals today
Take a bath (check)
Paint my toenails (current wip)
Vacuum
Force myself to go outside
That's my life. Open to suggestions of what else I should do.

Where's Nick and what's going on? I haven't seen him around in a few days now. Did he get banned again?

>>37309400
He's not banned. He's just been snowed under. Truth be told though, I am concerned myself. Will reach out to him now.

My week has been okay. I wrote a poem that I thought was pretty good, got drunk too much and stayed up too late contemplating my place in the world. I did have a few good conversations with interesting and positive people, and I've been trying to discover what I truly enjoy and what I want to present to the world so that I can ideally live more honestly and peacefully.
I hope you have all done something you love this week.

>>37309468

I saw that Nick got into arguments with various regular posters, so I'm concerned about that too.

>>37308962
I doubt it's possible to cure bestiality, so I guess what's left to do is decide how you're going to live with it.

>>37309479
It would truly be a shame if he left on account of that. However, given how much stress he was under from other quarters it would not be inconceivable.

>>37309526

Nah, I was really just busy socialising. I try to say yes to every invitation I get now.

>>37309526
What else was happening? I was one of the first people Nick helped so I appreciate him, despite not really contacting him or anything.
>>37309297
My 24 hour throwaway email is [email protected]

>>37309479
If you mean with me, that's nothing to be concerned about.

Also hello everyone.

>>37309691
>If you mean with me, that's nothing to be concerned about.

I've also argued with Painter and Meta.

I'm here, I'm just not sure what life I'm living anymore.

My crying has changed. It's less frequent, but harder now. Not a dry day since March. Not one.

>>37309789
I was originally going to be pissed at you, but I see now that would be heartless.

Hey Fatty Fwo-Forks, your mom said she couldn't afford to feed you anymore so she just locked you in a dog pound and waited for the squealing to stop. I heard the janitor quit on the spot when he saw the inside-out puppies everywhere. Those were people's pets, man.

>>37309789
You've been crying every day? Nick, I feel like you should start a discord and we can all talk about problems and try to self improve.
I don't know about yours yet, why do you cry so often?

>>37309847
>I was originally going to be pissed at you,

For what reason? Because I was away? It's all right to be upset at me if you are, we can discuss it.

>>37309893
Starting a discord server would be a good idea I agree.

how's everyone
ive slept 5 hours in the last 3 days. tired as fuck but cant sleep at the same time

>>37309893

I've lost someone I felt responsible for. For seven years. Imagine if a father put his own daughter in a situation where she suffered hell and then had to leave her life, her father, forever.

That's sort of what happened.

On Thursday, I was invited for dinner, by a friend and his wife, and his cousin was there, and she talked about horse-riding. I asked many questions about it, then I remembered that my Loved One once went horse-riding; I drove her there. She told me everything about her horse-riding afternoon. The name of her horse, etc. Remembering this while the cousin was talking was too much. I spent 30 minutes or more just trying to wipe out my tears without being too obvious. Then I excused myself and collapsed in their bathroom and cried so fucking hard.

Other days, I cry in my car while driving, but so much fucking harder than before.

For months after the apocalypse, I wasn't even able to cry at all. Firs tears happened right after I parted with my Loved One, at the airport.

It's hard enough to part with people who still love you, but when they are leaving for another country, and you may never see them again until both of you die, well, fuck.

>>37309939
No no, because of what you said about me being a tranny. I'm just worried about you now though.

>>37308096
Hey guys, think I just got broken up with. Feeling pretty shitty but honestly not as bad as I've felt in the past for no reason

>>37310058
>you radiate something I feel is good.

You'd enjoy my physical presence so much more. I've been told this many times. I assume it's true, by now. Partly why I want to become a therapist for real.

>>37310058
It's because he's genuinely an extremely kind person

I mean, even I, before everything that happened to me, well, I wouldn't have done what he has done.

So props to Nick

Also can't believe I got funny feeling from this low percentage drink.

>>37310020
Peach schnaps is great, but appricot is even better! Better than plum, apple, whatever.

>>37310020
I've been thinking about this in and among when not working. Can anyone just reel off their principles in any meaningful way? At a glance:

>Don't capitulate to someone stronger than you on the basis of strength alone
>Always question (but feel free to accept the rules of others if they hold up to scrutiny)
>Act according to what you'll regret least later
>Try to input more positive into the world than you found it
>Never prioritise your safety ahead of more important things
>Set a positive example for others to orient themselves by
>Do not be afraid of pain nor of sacrifice
>Stand up for what matters to you

These are just a handful of ideas because after all, it's an odd thing to be asked.

I'm borderline and a drug-addict. Have been seriously considering suicide for the past days. I've been like this for 5 years and I don't know what to do anymore

I'm feeling really good for the first time in a super long time. My anxiety is through the roof though. I have tons of energy all of the sudden and I'm not sure how to deal with all of it. I have a ton of goals I want to make sure I get done this summer and I'm not sure where to start with planning them all out.

>>37310068
for what you have said before your loved one seems disposed to leave the past behind. maybe you could reunite with her if you really wanted to

>>37310069
>No no, because of what you said about me being a tranny.

I had been concerned about that, but didn't think I had actually upset you. What matters to me the most is that you are happy. All else is a detail. I'm just not always sure what the way to happiness is.

My LO was fascinated by transsexuals and all that stuff, so I watched many documentaries with her. She'd think me very based for having tranny acquaintances with whom I speak.

All that matters to me is your well-being. Any comment I made was from that perspective. Don't worry about voicing what you feel, even if it's anger. I can handle it. I'm not upset at you, my patience has no limits for as long as I am not upset at someone.

>>37310119
>Efficiency first, ideals are too rigid to get there most of the times (can fuel it sometimes)
>Don't have an opinion on shit you don't know about

That's all. Fuck I wanna get drunk soon.

>>37310068
Was she your daughter? Sorry, it was kind of hard to tell if it was or a gf/partner. How old are you may I ask?

I have been crying more often too, usually worrying about how I'll never make good memories again.

>>37310088

Tell us more.

By the way, unbeknownst to me, I was banned for 24 hours yesterday and the day before, for the only blox posting I had made. So even if I had wanted to join, I couldn't have done it.

Whoever reports me for them is thorough.

>>37310121

Are you under the supervision of a mental health professional?

>>37308096
>How are you feeling
Powerless, feel like I have no control over my life
>what have you accomplished today
Nothing
>what is your goal?
I have no goal

>>37310203
We get a bunch of thread parasites, not understanding the goal of these threads.

You know, underage people, ect.

>>37310171
Already ahead of you. In response to your first point, I absolutely understand it but I believe that ideals serve their own purpose in the grand scheme. You, the self-proclaimed MC will do better at making a more informed choice when you have me to orient yourself by. You know that pure idealism isn't going to work because you can set your watch by me doing it and seeing it succeed or fail. I want to be a North Star for others.

As for the second, people will always have opinions. I think it's more important to be willing to accept new information and to rectify your own position accordingly. A static position is literally bigotry unless you know absolutely everything about a given topic (which you never will).

>>37310159
>maybe you could reunite with her if you really wanted to

I've come to realise I loved her the way I would love my daughter, or something close to that. I felt responsible for her, making her happy, providing, helping, talking things out, etc.

While the loss is unsurpassable, I'm not even sure reuniting would solve the issue. Things that were broken cannot be repaired.

I had a teacher once. She had lost her daughter to leukemia. She cried every night for a year.

I expect to keep crying for even longer. My teacher hadn't inflicted leukemia on her daughter, while my LO suffered because of my choices.

>>37310176

No, she was my fiancee. I'm 34.

>>37310275
Efficiency actually includes what you'd call "ideals", as trying to fulfill them can be included in the equation of efficiency. Such as time spent working x personal reward

Can't really think this through nor really digged down that much, I just know efficiency>all. I'd rather do what is the best to do in one situation instead of wasting my time, just because I have 'ideals to respect"

It's a matter of getting knowlege to have a decent opinion. You can actualy lack an opinion about a subject, that's actually what was the most common before the rise of individualistical societies.

>>37310287
>while my LO suffered because of my choices
but the teacher couldn't fix her daughter's leukemia. you could mend what you've broken by doing what you used to do without cheating again. is there no other reason why you dont want to reunite with your LO?

>>37310360
But you're viewing it on an individual basis. I'm thinking of it in terms of actions bigger than I can execute alone. Thus, if I can provide an example that will motivate others to make a decision informed by my choice, that has been worthwhile. An individual is powerless, but his influence reverberates.

>>37310374
>you could mend what you've broken by doing what you used to do without cheating again.

No. What has been done cannot be undone. LO says so, and I believe her. Her mental health couldn't handle the betrayal.

For about two months, it was constant self-harming when I was around. Punching her chest, punching her face, grinding her knuckles against the wall, cutting herself, giving herself second degree burns, stabbing her thighs with scissors (absolutely horrendous marks, blue and spiderweb-like, huge), and a host of other things. It weighs heavy on my soul.

>>37310102
I would prefer to have you as my therapist I belive. Like I've said before, I don't trust my current one(s) for shit. We could just talk on an even level.

>>37310406
You're relying on luck.

I'm not relying on anyone else but me. That's surely the point where we diverge

>>37310203
I've discovered these threads a few weeks ago, and some of you guys may be familiar with this thing about this girl I'm having.

Bottom line is that I was feeling it was my one chance at not being a fuck up. She is the first girl who liked me since I was 17. I'm 29 now and had only been with prostitutes until I started seeing this qt from work.

I'm 100% sure I "got her" by ignoring her and all women for years. I focused on improving myself because I honestly didn't (and still don't) know how to pass the time before killing myself. Well, girls like that.

Oh shit I'm going to blog too much. Sorry.

So I've dated this girl just 3 times in about 1 month. Keeping it a secret at work. Some 2 min after we kissed for the first time we both agreed not to get serious, so I tried to keep it slow. That said, during some playful texts she said she regretted saying that about not being serious. Of course, each time we saw each other we spent about 6-12 hs together.

She broke up her last relationship about 6 months ago, and about 2 months ago started seeing the guy again, but not wanting to go back with him. So when we got together I had no issues with taking it slow, it made sense, I'm not jealous, and honestly, I would've said anything to keep her with me.

I'm missing some details. But I asked her out again a few hours ago. She said something like "I'm still finding myself thinking about my ex (she may still be seeing him) and I don't think it is fair for you (me) or anyone to keep this up" She seemed really sorry, spoke great about me, but that may be theater.

I honestly handled it pretty well. We stopped the conversation in some amicable terms. And I took advantage of not having yet completely getting how screwed I am. I've have since then taken a nap. And I regret waking up.

It's the opposite of luck: it's about being dependable. Predictable. Tried and true. It's about faith, yes, and resolve, but not luck. It would only be luck if I was banking on a certain outcome. Instead I'm doing it because I'm right and if I fail, I do so having done what I believed what was right. It would be better to fight and die in service to good than to surrender and live in service to evil.

>>37310428
but hasnt your loved one been reaching out to you?

>>37310431

My own therapist knows of the thread, though not in any detail.

She jokingly suggested I should ask for a buck or something. I'm still toying with the idea of taking this further. I can do so much more in enhanced contexts. The best being face to face, but audio is already an improvement.

I could do some audio if anyone wants, just so I don't lose the habit.

Hey guys, hows everyone doing?
Don't really know why I keep asking it when I can just read everything you posted so far
Politeness I guess

Anyway,
yesterday was so weird.
I studied most of the day, my D-Day is tuesday
At evening my friends who already finished it called me.
I didnt expect to get drunk but... Of course I got drunk, not like I ever say no.
That's not the weird thing, that's very usual for me
The weird thing is that my friend who is about 5y older than me had a friend at the pub we were at.
She never told us how old she was but she was definetly quite older than we are.
So, after the few days of talking with you guys here, when I got pretty drunk I started talking about all the bullshit that happens to me.
My friends started being very serious with me and actually tried to help me I gues but we were all drunk.
But the girl wasnt and she heard some of our talk
After that she offered me that I can talk it out with her, of course I thout shs just kidding.
We moved places, went outside where we sat at a little wooden table with benches and a roof
And after that talk it started really hitting me and with the alcohol I suddenly felt real shitty
So I grabbed a cig and went away for a bit to smoke by myself
minute later the girl came to me.
Started talking to me.
As I was quite fucked up at that point I just told her everything.
How I've been depressed for the past 3 years
How I considered suicide as an easy way out if things go bad
How I feel empty and not happy about anything.

And she had her hand around my back and listened and told me how she was there too and how I can open up to her.
So there I was watching the stars with a nice girl next to me, trying not to start crying.

It was weird but it was beautiful somehow.

TL:DR girl touched me and feelies and shit

>>37310525
You're separating good and evil. Does it really exist in reality? I don't think so.

The luck part on me reflected your comment about "I want to kinda inspire others with my set of actions".

It won't. Or perhaps it will, but never on the long run.

"Because I'm right". How what. Your own set of rules you kinda want to push on others by acting better than others, sticking to them, so they maybe change and adapt to your acts, seeking the ultimate goal you believe is the best?

To me, it sounds childish. No offense intended.

>>37310601
Besides, how can you know you are?

Even the greatest philosophers that pushed some heavy theories on moral made flaws.

>>37310601
It's flawed, and it gives rise to zealotry. I still think - provided that you apply a filter of critical thinking to any decision and don't become mired in dogma - it's the right way. If you can examine the decision you're about to make and it holds up to scrutiny, and then you act on it true to yourself then that's far better than compromising. Bear in mind as well that I believe that you have to be able to see reason and alter your perspective. What I'm advocating is that if you know something is wrong, you don't stand for it. If your angle holds up and you can justify them plainly to others then yes, you will inspire others to do the same. Shirking your beliefs through convenience or cowardice is what I oppose. Debate is always to be encouraged.

>>37310564
I can't help but remember how we talked a couple days ago. About being afraid. At this instance you were not afraid and it ended well for you.

>>37310495

Time to get serious.

1. ask yourself if you want to be with her; pro tip: you do, don't fool yourself.

2. tell her that you're not OK with her seeing her ex anymore, since you want to get serious with her as well; remember that she WANTS to get serious with you, so don't get cold feet now, or she'll assume you just don't care about her at all.

3. Just go for it. This story is pure nonsense: you love her, yet you don't want to get serious, yet you do; she regrets telling you not wanting to get serious, need anyone say more? No. Go for it.

4. Contact her right now.

Just fucking do it. I hate seeing love stories going to waste for no fucking reason. It's not too late.

Right.

Now.

>>37310730
Yeah yeah exactly. That was a very rare moment for me.

The bad thing is that she made me remember her name so I can look her up on fb and I found her still drunk at about 1 am while trying not to puke in my bed but that was the moment my fear kicked in
And it hasnt stopped to this point, I still keep trying to message her but I cant

>>37310772
Hey Nick I'm glad you're here. I'll be back in about an hour so we can talk.

>>37310549

She texts me every day to know how I am doing. We've been together for seven years, and we still care about each other. She wants to remain friends, basically. I find it hard to categorise her for me. It was my sacred duty to provide for her.

I know its nonsense, but it is too late. She has already told me so, in the most possible kind of way.

I don't think she is seeing her ex. She may still have feelings for him and doesn't like having feelings for both of us.

I don't think I can tell her I want to be serious, or that I love her (do I?) without her running away.

Honestly I really, really like her. Both physically and how much in common we have. But I also like her because deep in my mind I was so close to quit being a 4chan regular loser, getting a gf, etc etc. And didn't want to fuck up. And I guess I did, like with most stuff in my life

>>37310564
>TL:DR girl touched me and feelies and shit

Best TL;DR I have ever read.

Love is in the air tonight, guys. Just not my air, but still great to hear about. What's her name? Will you see her again?

>>37310895
well i guess all you can do now is be a good friend to her. that's a way to help her

>>37310828
I'm gonna act like a typical Dan here. No good advice, just stories of how I fucked that are sort of relevant to what you said.

I was in a similar situation like you, I was head over heels with this girl. Wanted to ask her out but didn't have the courage to do so. Well, as it so happens, it was 8 pints of beer and half a litre of whiskey that gave me the courage in the end.

Sound good, right? Well it's not. It was painfully obvious that I was drunk and ultimately I was fucking pissed off at myself for not doing it sober. Just trying to warn you, it might seem like a good idea to get drunk for courage, but it's really not. Whatever mistake you're afraid you could do sober, you're gonna do much dumber mistakes while drunk.

>>37310601
>Does it really exist in reality? I don't think so.

That's because you're French. If you believed in good and evil, you'd have to be moral. After a long journey back and forth, I believe in good and evil, but in a different way from what we all originally know, though it ends up not being very different.

>>37310601
>To me, it sounds childish. No offense intended.

If you meant no offense, you would have said "childlike", not childish. Offense intended, you don't get to pull narc rhetoric around these parts, cowboy.

How can something that gives rise to zealotry, mixed with the literal opposite to it (critical thinking), can do something greater instead of anhilitating one of the two?

How can you define something as the right way without any criteria?

Why do you think your set of rules are made from yourself, and not passed onto you or an effect from your environnement? Is it really your own free will?

Why is it better than compromising? Because you felt better about sticking to what you *felt* right, while compromising is, rationally, on average, a better option?

You believe something that may not be proven, which would kill your whole speech

Your set of 'wrong' is too absolute, 'right/wrong' is more related to the situations, which means you can't really apply something "good" in one one everywhere else.
Exemple: Being open with someone like Nick is "right", but you can't be open with everyone.

"You will inspire others to do the same". You assume others do give a shit, and that your actions will trigger something inside of them. Which I highly disagree with.

"Shirking your beliefs throuth [...] is what I oppose".

That's the thing. Beliefs aren't rational. You're willing to push your own agenda onto a reality that isn't the same as your will.

Besides, you're already integrating matters that aren't related to a rational speech: cowardice is already a dead give away.

Compromising isn't cowardice. Calculating the pros and cons of holding your beliefs or just giving in, and realising that giving it holds better advantages isn't cowardice: it's prefering one option over the other. Meaning the goals are differents. Which redirects to what I said about "right and wrong" being related to a situation, not every situation.

>>37310899

Contact her, let her know you'd like to get serious with her. That's all you have to do. For as long as you can talk to her without her calling the police on you, it's not too late. True story.

>>37310997
Again, same thing. "I believe in X". It's a belief, and a belief isn't rational.

Having severe anxiety and depression for ages.

>>37311062
>It's a belief, and a belief isn't rational.

You believed that typing this post would make me see it. It was rational, and it was true. Your argument is dead.

Beliefs are all you have, there are no certitudes.

>What I see more is that the "good" for someone is the "bad" for others

A well-raped platitude. For an exact situation, everyone agrees. It's only when you change it that it differs. Besides, moral ideas being slightly less than perfect doesn't cancel morality any more than flawed eyesight cancels the visible world.

Argument is dead too.

But compromise might be a valid option if it isn't a sacrifice. You could both be right. But if you're right and the other person is wrong, anf you've borne this out through discussion, and you then compromise despite knowing it's wrong then you're knowingly doing wrong.

I acknowledge that strong belief lends itself to blinkered action. Critical thinking is the step that divides my perspective from that of zealots. You must act with the conviction of a zealot once the evidence has been weighed up.

Also, I'm not talking about a moral good or evil since those things could well be relative. Moreover, I'm mostly a kind of nihilist. I'm doing all of this because it will bring me the greatest satisfaction. I believe that it is the truest way to live, to myself, but I don't believe that any divine arbiter will give me 10/10 good boy points. I believe that I will simply die but on my death bed if I stick to it, I can achieve my satisfaction in knowing that I never knowingly did something evil. Or if I did, then I bear the guilt for that.

Again, you're ends focused. Whereas to me, nothing objectively matters. I'm just getting the most out of my playthrough and adding to the sandbox that is our world in the way I see most pleasing.

>>37311064

>I know It's not a good way but sometimes for me it's the only way.
Is it really? Point is, you can do it while drunk. That much has already been established. They say that when you're drunk you often do things that you actually want to do.

So you in fact do want to talk to her. Now, would you rather talk to her and have a normal chance of fucking up (sober) or have a high chance of fucking up (drunk)?

Of course you can still not talk to her. But chances are that you're gonna regret it. I know I have regretted every fucking chance to talk to a woman that wasn't repulsed by me that I didn't take. Sure, it's scary and it's going to be awkward, even uncomfortable for you stepping out of your comfort zone. Then again, turning into something like me couple years down the road is going to be MUCH more uncomfortable. That much I know.

But I can't imagine girls like to have someone desperate behind them. I used to think with that Disney frame of mind when I was younger, but I know a bit better now.

Here is some kind of recap of the end of the text convo we had (And again, I'm sorry for shitting up the thread):

Her:...And I know you are not just some guy to play around with, so I would like to put a break on things. Don't hate me for it.
Me: Don't make it a bigger deal than it needs to, and forgive me but I need to stop writing before I say something I shouldn't or don't say something I should.
Her: Thanks again, you've given me lots of smiles and allowed me to get to know you.
Me: Don't say it like that, then it really sounds like a sour goodbye
Her: Alirght, haha
Me: Leave me with the ilusion that you still don't know how to ride a bike (I own a sportsbike) and I can't skate (she does)
Her: Aw, I'm keeping it with that lovely sentence (I'm also translating to english, so it sounds akward)
Her: Lots of kisses, have a nice weekend.

Its definitely over.

>Beliefs are all you have, there are no certitudes
Except for the above I suppose?

>Platitude
We're alive. Doesn't make it less true.

>Moral ideas being slightly less than perfect doesn't cancel morality
You're assuming they're slightly less than perfect. Which means you have a frame of reference. Which one?

Morality is about having a general guideline to follow in every situation, before said situation. You're already taking a stand in one stream of philosophy. Why can't morality be about the consequences of your actions alone?

Ah, and as Aristotle said, "There's no science of the detail". Lost the correct line, but I could dig my notes and find it.

>inb4 muh argument of authority

>>37311143
>You must act with the conviction of a zealot once the evidence has been weighed up.
You never got into a situation where you did that, only to find out you didn't really weight it correctly to begin with?

So to live efficiently, you need a set of moral rules to follow to feel better about yourself when you do it. Much like setting yourself a goal and completing it, feeling good about it.

You're not "moral", you're seeking satisfaction through a proxy with big letters.

So be it then. If I've done my level best to act according to my highest principles in any given situation regardless of outcome, I'll have done as I set out to do. I might regret making poor decisions, but I wouldn't regret committing to them. And after all, none of this matters anyway. That's part of why the ideal matters more than the practical: I have no faith in the permanency, nor the significance, of all of this. It has little more meaning than a thought experiment, but for the pain it causes and the impact it has. That too will fade into insignificance given a skip and a jump through history. Thus our actions are so inconsequential that only personal satisfaction has merit. That, and lasting legacy.

The way you argue is faulty in many ways. That's why I didn't do your work for you. It sounds like you know what you're thinking about but fail to see how it comes across, whether it's understandable or not. I'll put that one down on lesser empathy, but it makes for poor argumentative skills. That's why I called the lot unclear, unrelated, etc.

You didn't answer the core of my argument, either, you just ignored it and asked unrelated questions. I used to study philosophy at university, but quickly left for something else, and decided to read philosophy books on my own instead. The sort of students who are more interested in their questions than the answers they could get just annoyed me to no end.

Hello, everyone. Has anyone experienced significant benefits from any nootropic substances? I've just obtained some Noopept. I am a bit disappointed by some of the things I've just read about its low oral bioavailability but it's not enough to spur me to administer the stuff sublingually, so I've simply exceeded the recommended oral dosage threefold. I cannot say I feel anything not attributable to my regular level of anxiety while posting.

>>37310136
Try ordering by importance to you and then assign them priority based upon that.

>>37311842
I can't deny it's faulty in may ways, and we could come accross reasons for it. You even made clear one of the reasons, which is linked to my current state: I'm tired as fuck.

I do know the basics of communication is actually being intelligible. But Facet and I had to talk about dem principles today, and I just wanted to give him that conversation, no matter my state.

However, what is empathy doing here? Let me guess: knowing what the other person is thinking on the moment, and why he's saying such at that particular moment. The problem is, you're just a block of text on a internet page right now, and I can't use data like that, no matter what level of empathy I have.

But even so, I don't need empathy to argument about a text from a dead philosopher. After all, all you need is rationality to debate. Except if one wants to give into pathos.

I understand why you didn't want to reply, but if you want it from my end, I've finished my licence in philosophy, and I'm tired to listen to people trying to debate going aimlessly about their stuff.

Granted I did a poor job today. But right now, all I see is that everyone is more interested in sending vocaroos than anything else. Hence the "Let's stop there" from earlier.

With that said, I'll take the shower I had to take an hour ago, which I didn't take because of my desire to have the conversation I told you about.

>>37312131
>The problem is, you're just a block of text on a internet page right now,

I'm a person, and I've studied philosophy both in high school, and at university. This is as silly as saying, "You're just vibrations in the air right now and a visual impression in my eyes," to someone in front of you.

The idea being to know what the other doesn't know, and to adapt in consequence.

You need empathy to argue something well, because you can't argue well if you don't know what the other person means or how they'll understand your own words.

>I've finished my licence in philosophy, and I'm tired to listen to people trying to debate going aimlessly about their stuff.

In other words, just because you have a degree in it, you think you can exonerate yourself from debating others. You think you should win by default. I'm sad to say: your degree is useless if you end up thinking such things. You haven't learned anything it seems.

Moreover, degrees in philosophy, today, are degrees in the history of philosophy, not philosophy per se.

This is why I left studying philosophy: people were more interested in their egos than actual ideas and discussion.

I have little background in philosophy but how do you propose humans live without some semblance of belief? And, for that matter, how do you make the distinction between a rational idea and an irrational belief? To one person, "the sun revolves around the earth" may hold as much merit as the opposite statement. We have no means of objectively interpreting reality. All beliefs are valid to those who hold them. Your beliefs may not match the widely held beliefs of the time but that is no reason to discard them if they ring true to your ears, at least not without considerable introspection and analysis.

Hey Nick I'm back. Work's finally over for today. Glad to see you doing voice responses, makes a thread comfy. But onto problems. Talked with a girl I knew from school yesterday, tried flirting with her a bit. She flirted a bit back and my brain shut down going into fight or flight mode. So I got out and had to go calm myself down. In other news, feeing like I've wasted the past several years of my life, today was day 1 of working at second job, same place I've worked every summer since 2009. Just feeling like a complete failure, and its fucking raining.

I do have a serious question for the thread though: I feel like a child a lot of the time and find myself deferring to my senpai at work even though they're younger than me. It's weird; I genuinely feel less like a grown-up than people 5+ years my junior and would accept being told off by them. Why do I do? It just seems like I have never matured properly. It isn't as though I think I'm stupid, I'm just under-developed somehow. Anyone see Ichi the Killer? If not, you should I'm not as bad as the eponymous character but I could relate to the ending.

You're stuck in childhood, like many people who were abused somehow. Until not that long ago, I referred to my suit and shoes as my adult costume, my adult shoes. I felt like I was dressed up as an adult, not that I was one.

You're still somehow stuck in an age that isn't yours, but that can change. Keep being aware of it and work on it.

I'm reckless and chronically bored. What do I really have to lose? My illustrious life? Plus, recent events and all that. Potential long-term benefits of nootropics outweigh the short-term negatives, so I stay audacious.

Just claiming my post in service to the Dead Gods

Just finished watching some shit, because life is surprising. Goddam.

>>37313449
Personally, I think that your decision is reasonable. Have you cast an eye over the discussion on principles between myself, Frenchy and Nick? I'd be interested to hear what you think.

>>37313319
This goes for you too AnHero, since you specifically mentioned that you were interested to hear about our principles.

>>37314123
>the discussion on principles between myself, Frenchy and Nick?

The discussion aborted very quickly.

>>37314163
Oh, is that so? Time has been fickle for me this week. Though I did notice that you never engaged any of my points after involving yourself.

>>37314123
Thank you for signing off on my indulgence in risk. I haven't read it yet, but will since you'd like me to. To be perfectly honest, I do not like Frenchy even slightly.

>>37314207

I didn't even notice you engaged me at all. I thought I responded once to Frenchy and stopped when I realised he wasn't going to argue seriously.

>>37314210
I've always held that liking someone is less important than being civil.

>>37314255
I don't think I did - I'm just curious as to what you make of my points of view and you interjected in a preexisting discussion.

>>37314287
since you interjected*

>>37314287
What post do I start with? The physical sensations are too distracting for me to be interested in looking for it.

>>37314287

I hadn't followed the conversation, just wanted to object to Frenchy's commonplace ideas.

>>37314335
>>37314340

Well then you can see these posts (since, aside from anything else you don't seem especially interested in hearing what Frenchy has to say and I don't really know why he's so polarising)

Interesting.

I do believe that morality isn't relative. Not a popular position, but a completely defendable one.

X-treme digits. Still, what do you make of the idea of trying to construct and adhere to a moral framework when you already accept that it is meaningless beyond solipsistic satisfaction?

I'd say it's a practical view of things, and worth because of that.

As to me, a moral framework I adhere to is never meaningless. It used to be easier when I had a Christian hope, in some ways, while more complicated in others.

No philosophical system holds water for very long without some form of God in the end, I find.

It holds meaning for me, but I can't justify it beyond that. Life just feels like screaming into a mirror in a darkened room most of the time

What are your best movies with aliens?

Just watched Independence Day: Regurgitation. It wasn't good.

>>37314751
>Life just feels like screaming into a mirror in a darkened room most of the time

Excellent analogy.

You need a light, you need to look at something that doesn't feel like it's you. Both are exactly what you need: light and something else.

>>37314481
Can I just respond to this for now? I can't concentrate enough to read all those posts. What could imbue a framework with more meaning that your own personal preferences? Something that can dole out direct consequences? We already have that. Physical reality. It's necessarily a matter of preference when deciding what end state you want to effect, but this doesn't diminish the significance of any actions. I'm not sure what needs opining about on this. I cannot conceive of what this "meaning" thing is that people are expecting to find or to even be possible. What is the meaningful/meaningless dichotomy when applied to existence? It's a misapplication of a concept.

Doubt I'm making any sense. It's hellishly hot.

>>37314797
You want to give Arrival a gander. Best sci-fi I've seen in a long time. Really enjoyed it.
The Thing (1982) is a tour de force in practical effects. I tell you what else I enjoyed for a comfy /x/ feel: Banshee Chapter. If you like Art Bell, which you do, try Pontypool. Lastly, for that thread theme give They Look Like People a go.

>>37314560
I hate dropping my name. Gets annoying.
>>37314797
Alien. The original. Accept no substitutes.

>>37314797
Call me a pleb, but I liked the Fourth Kind...

>>37314934

Arrival is next in line. I almost went to see it in the theater, but it came out when LO and I were considering the end. Dark, dark days.

The Thing, 1982, is my official favourite horror movie, for a bunch of reasons. I still regard it as one of the very best horror films ever made.

I somehow didn't like Pontypool.

>>37314816
There is no light, and there is no one else. On a deep level, I doubt that I can be convinced otherwise. I'm not going to argue it because of course I 'know' that others exist, but on a deep level that is the fundamental truth for me. And it's horrific.

>>37314950

It was much better than I expected until the whole Ancient Aliens crap came out, and the realisation that the director and the book the movie is based on are the same person, or something, I forget. I remember some intense shilling.

Movie was shot in Bulgaria or something, which passes for an amazing Alaska. Hollywood does weird things.

>>37314637
I'm sorry but I don't get the reference. I'm a pleb.

>>37314978

I know. The day you intuitively know that there are really others, that day you'll be closer to healing.

>>37314901
It is far too hot. I see life like a sandbox game. I hate sandbox games.

>>37315013
I like the Sumerian stuff as fiction. It's pretty fun.

Well, fair enough. If you don't know I don't want to spoil it for you.

>>37315036
How could this ever be possible? It sounds like an impossible paradigm shift. As likely as waking up and believing that I was a dog ever after. Possible, but it would take a lot of Jew dollars to accomplish.

>just went to the ER because I was 99% sure I had a hernia and that the problems were worsening
>they did all kinds of tests
>nothing
>even piss test came up good
All this after looking up the symptoms of a hernia after my stomach felt strange one day.

I new to this shit, what do I do? Drugs?

>>37315013
Chariot of the Gods, Erich von Daniken or something? Or Zechariah Sitchen?

>>37315113
>How could this ever be possible? It sounds like an impossible paradigm shift.

It's what happens when you "grow up", and I mean that in a very cerebral way. It will also happen once you are no longer in defense mode, when you're at peace, and protected.

It will take time, to be sure, but it may be more within reach than you know.

It may take cutting off your parents.

>>37315048
Could you summarize what you feel the problematic is?

>>37315113
I don't even know what it's from, don't worry you can't spoil anything harder than "Evil king nukes himself at the end!"
Been YEARS now, still get pissed at my friend whenever I remember that one.
>>37315118
Is it a reputable hospital?

>>37315124

I was a huge fan of this stuff when I was a kid, long before it was called Ancient Aliens. It was called the Ancient Astronauts theory, back then.

Daniken is Swiss, so I was very proud of him, but he's basically a scam artist, sadly.

Zechariah is so full of shit that it hurts. One wonders how he translates... since his translations are hotly disputed.

A lot of scammers, sadly. Nothing more.

Going to bed.

>>37315185
>Is it a reputable hospital?
Yeah. Best around here at least. They did a catscan and some physical tests, nothing.

I literally might be imagining the symptoms into reality.

>>37315196

Actually I have a bone to pick with you (geddit?). You said I acted as though I was MUCH younger than a teen and that's not fair at all. And I get that some times I'm petulant, so I'm not gonna get into a whole big thing cos I'm not gonna play into your hands. But still: No?

Not tryna have a whole fight and prove you right here (behaving like an adult) but, yeah. Acting young? Why?

>>37315244
He didn't mean it as an insult. You were robbed of the normal emotional growth, like most people supposedly are. It wasn't meant to be condescending or insulting. It is not your fault you were treated the way you were (far as I remember).

>>37315214
I'm not quite sure what to say to this. I mean the placebo effect can certainly work for negative responses as well as positive.

I'm not sure what will happen if I drink on this stuff, but I'm likely going to sleep if I can. See you guys.

>>37315452
See you around meta.

>>37315415
>>37315244
Sorry, I'm new here. What happened to you Facet?


>>37315452
Good night, take it easy

>>37315452
Ok :(

>>37315415
I was talking about a different convo actually. Some email stuff. I dunno about him all the time, you know?

>>37315479
Oh, a whole bunch of stuff but basically a bad childhood, mean parents, some rapey stuff etc etc. If you wanna know whatever specific it's fine it was ages ago

>>37315496
I was just looking at the context of the message you typed and how I know Nick talks. Sometimes things can come off as insulting in typed words when the typist reads a completly different meaning. Words are ineffecient without facial expressions and/or inflections. As for Nick himself, I trust him. Sure my messages get ignored kinda often and it makes me upset, but I understand that just about every single one of you guys need much more help than me. All I'm left to deal with are a crippling fear of anyone getting close to me again and my feeligs of worthlessness and wasting my life.

>>37315636
She was saying that Nick quite directly stated that she seemed far younger than a 17 year old and speculated that it might be how I imagine that a young 'innocent' child might behave. Personally I don't think that she's tremendously innocent - only immature. Meanwhile, she certainly took umbridge precisely because she sees herself as more mature than he gave her credit for. Was going to insult her but my head hurt. Is ringing even now desu. A feeling of pressure.

>>37315783
That was probably due to your damaged emotional growth. Some parts will seem immature by age standards, while others will seem much more mature for your age. Apologies if referring to you all as one person offends you.

>>37315959
Nah it's fine tho we're gonna keep making the EXTREMELY subtle distinction in the namefagging box for posterity. Anyway.

Oh I dunno there's no point getting bent outtsa shape about it except he said me specifically. You don't think I act super young right? Like not even underage but like an absolute child. Wouldn't you be insulted? I think it's fair does desu
Like I know he didn't mean to be insulting but still. Just saying it's not a fair observation. Right?

what's cytube?

>>37316791
Um it's like a chat room that is often used for crosswatching etc. Did you ever go on IRC and shit? Well cos basically, that except on the right there's a communal video feed like a jukebox sourced from YT that anyone can add to
