basically i feel like im on auto pilot 80 percent of the time and the moments when im "awake" are usually full of doubt and fear. i feel like next time i blink ill wake up at 40 with a life i hate.
is this just the normal human experience or is something wrong with me?

what did you wanna do when you were sixteeen?

what are you doing now?

sometimes we just get caught up in following society's expecations and being good upstanding citizens that we lose sight of ourselves

a lot of people feel like you, i think people drift because they see their life as something that will happen in the future, and not something they're supposed to be living right now

I've literally never had a friend in my whole entire life. I have no idea how to start a relationship of any kind or how to keep one even I even get one. Is it too late for me to learn (I'm 28).

>>37730718
pathetic you expect any of us to take you seriously now you alcoholic loser, go back to sedating yourself into the grave.

>>37730717

Is this what you want to achieve? being a good dota 2 player?

i think you're avoiding reality. but time won't stop as you waste your life on dota 2. soon you'll be 40 and fat and alone and your dreams will have passed you by

go get a gf or something

>>37730699
back then i wanted to be an adventurer, living in the jungle, finding new animals and plants...
then the reality of the whole thing hit me pretty hard. i am studying biology now but i dont legitimately believe someone will pay me money to have fun with animals.

>they see their life as something that will happen in the future, and not something they're supposed to be living right now
i am absolutely guilty of that, but how can i change it practically? its not even that i dislike my present life besides the fact that it rushes past me and i cant keep up.

>>37730748

it's a skill like any other. practice.

start slow

say hi to a few strangers on the street

maybe strike up a convo with an older person on a bus. they love to talk.

do you have any hobbies? maybe there's a meetup in your area?

it'll take time but you can learn to socialize and meet people

you're not inherently a friendless guy. it'll just take time to learn. you'll get there

a lot of my patients had horrible social skills but with perseverance they picked it up.

How do I stop being so angry? I get pissed off at the smallest things, only for it to ruin my day. Once I get off rage mode I feel like shit and I feel like it only makes my depression worse. I get all shaky and jittery afterwards too.

>>37730603
>thread full of whining cyborgs

why don't you tell us about some crazy patients instead?

>>37730779

you can live some version of that dream.

why not go hiking in the woods this weekend and see if you can befriend any non exotic something? it may seem kind of dumb but you gotta start somewhere. just do dumb little shit like that while you work on your degree. get a small taste of the life you want. it might seeem silly but i think it'll give you more satisfaction than spending your weekends at a bar or whaever

>>37730837

meditation is your only man for that. maybe yoga too,

>>37730810

I've tried trying to talk to strangers. They either outright ignore me or tell me to fuck off. In the few cases where they seem friendly the conversation ends very fast because I don't know what to say to anything. It's like running into a brick wall. People tell me to just ask questions about their lives, but it all feels very perfunctory and not like a genuine conversation and then I just want to not talk and go home.

I don't really have any hobbies. I like reading books. My mom made me join a book club once, but the book sucked and I was afraid to say anything because the club was all old ladies who were really enthusiastic and I didn't want to shit on their parade, so I just stayed quiet and didn't show up again.

>>37730603
>I've lost my therapy licence because of my drinking problem.
how does this happen? were you drunk at work like a retard?

>>37730919

i was blackout drunk and made a pass at a 15yo client

>>37730906

you need more interests to have fulfilling conversations. try and get into normie stuff. sports, politics, TV etc...

>>37730942
>try and get into normie stuff. sports, politics, TV etc...

I've tried doing that and I always get bored and do something else.

Fuck, if that's what it takes to make friends maybe I'd rather stay friendless.

>>37730942

>>37730603
Every time I go out in public, I think everyone is looking at me and smirking at me. I also find it difficult to speak to strangers and am very shy with people I don't know. But once I get to know them I can be very friendly and sociable

>>37731025

most people aren't looking at you

some assholes probably are though. it's just something you gotta accept

walk around with your head held high and don't worry what anyone thinks. they're just as much of an asshole as you are

>>37730603
What do I do if I like someone? How do I get her to understand what I want? I haven't made a move yet because I'm scared of messing it up or falling in the friendzone. I'm incredibly shy and I haven't talked to her in a while but I still occasionally see her and I melt just staring at her. I know this seems like a very childish question to ask but I honestly don't know.

>>37730603
OP, does answering the same types of questions over and over again ever exaugst you, or do you find it frustrating?

become richer than her

>>37731148

on the contrary, i find it comforting

we're all humans facing the same dilemmas. it's beautiful and makes me realize what a special bond we all have

our problems are universal, and maybe we can all help each other as humans to solve them together

>>37730603

I'm 29 right now, but when I was in my late teens and early 20's I felt pretty comfortable with myself, went to social outings, had fun. Around the time I was 22-23, I suddenly became very anxious all the time, could no longer go to social outings, escaped to my room as much as possible.

Maybe you have seen something like this before? I'm still trying to figure out what changed me.

Well, my problems at this point are unfixable, I've come to learnt it, but it wouldn't kill me to hear your opinion.

How to keep on living when people take you for a totally superficial person (which I'm not), and mistake your shyness/sperging out for aloofness/feeling of superiority?
How to keep on living when there is one person that obsessively hates me and wants to see me completely destroyed?
How to keep on living when you are so full of shortcomings?
How to stop saying mean things to people and stop acting like a batshit crazy person?
How to overcome a depression, when you're despised by everyone?
That would be it (though that's just a starter unfortunately).
So OP, I'll hear you out.

>>37731607

look, if you think your current life is that unfixable, just cut ties with everyone and create a new identity in a new locale

you only have one life. but you can have as many different identities/personas/homes as you want

I have horrific sexual nightmares every night. I'm in therapy with a great psychologist but he has absolutely no idea what else we can try to stop these nightmares. I've tried dream rescripting and on my own learned how to lucid dream, but these nightmares are so intense that while I'm having them I'm helpless to change them. Do you have any advice OP?

>>37731789

you're fucked up sexually because you're fat and need to compensate by being freaky in bed

>>37731803

You need dreamless sleeps. consult a psychiatrist about heavy sleeping pills

>>37731806

I took a strong dose of ambien for two years and it didn't help. I became dependent on the pills to sleep and had to stop them anyways. Also have been on Prazosin and it helped a little but stopped working after three years.

>used to have a lot of friends, both irl and online
>this turned into a lot of real life friends, but not a lot of online friends
>this turned into no friends
I know why I lost all my friends, what I want to know is I could possibly get them back or make new ones. No one has the balls to call me a faggot to my face, they just quietly avoid me and I take this as a bigger insult than straight up spitting on me. How do I fix this shit? I've changed my ways but it's like one person told the whole world I was a dickhead once and now no one wants anything to do with me. I'm not even sad about it, I'm fucking angry.

>>37731879
I suspect you aren't a real therapist

>>37730603
How do I meet friends when I am completely outside any social circles.

>>37731668
well, it's not that easy in my case, as I'm a quite known bad famed comedian in my country of origin, basically my life is a meme.
Though wouldn't mind changing my current lifestyle, place of living, especially since I've always felt like I don't have roots anywhere and always felt a bit out of picture.

>>37730603
I based my self identity on my success and intelligence. One I actually had a real failure for the first time, I had somewhat of an ego death. How do I get to know myself and my life better than before?

>>37731992
>just noticing that now
or beeing an alcoholic wasnt the only reason for him to get fired

>>37730654
i have the opposite problem. Everyday to me feels like a new day. New emotions, very bad memory of the day before. One day I'll be enemies with someone, the next I want to hug and be best friends.y memory is just terrible. I feel like I have to learn and remember everything again every day. The good news is my life is taking forever

>>37730603
How do I get better at flirting and asking people out? I'm terrified of being that emotionally vulnerable

>>37730763
i take it as a challenge, if i can focus on improving at dota then i can do anything

i have attitude problems, i'm kinda talented at most things i try to do but i either lose interest very quickly or i get stuck at above-mediocre level

>>37731939
Why are you a dickhead anon?

>>37730603
I can't forget my past mistakes and I can't forgive myself. My thoughts usually go "How can I ever be x if i did y?".

I get depressed by the lighting during dusk. I'm fine once the sun is down completely.

>>37730763
>>37732078
also my only current friends are from dota (pretty high mmr players)

As a hikki, I don't want to kill myself but whenever I've been in a position like having to go to school/work, I seriously contemplate suicide. Life is fine, but it's certainly not worth all the bullshit you have to put up with from other people and basic necessities for survival. So it's not so much that I want to die, it's that I don't want to have to live. All those feelings go away when I can just be alone for long stretches of time with no responsibilities.

If I tell this to a licensed therapist, I'd obviously be locked up in a mental ward so I don't hurt myself. But then I'd be released on the fact that I most likely wouldn't want to kill myself while I'm there. Then I'd have to go back to having a life of responsibility and desires to kill myself. Which would land me back into the mental ward where I'll be good enough to be released again.

How the fuck do I solve this cycle? Can I demand NEETbux on the threat of me killing myself if I don't get it?

>>37732299
As if anyone else on /r9k/ wouldn't do the same if they were in OP's position.

Normalfags, who could be good therapists, would also do the same if it wasn't socially stigmatized and they weren't all caught up in others' perception of them.

I think not vaping marijuana is keeping me from being my best self. My apatite sucks, my motivation sucks, and I can't see a good future for myself. When I was using, I grabbed optimism out of thin air. I created a future that I could be excited about out of nothing. I was writing and exercising instead of spending all my time on 4chan. Now, I only want to do what I have to do.

But if I'm going to get out of student debt, I'm going to need to get a job and I need to be wary of drug tests.

I've got (((crippling depression))) and haven't left the house since Halloween last year...

Would anyone be interested in an actual mental health advice thread

>>37730642
you're not a licensed therapist though, so what profession to you claim to have?

Ok so I probably sound like really fucking autistic but I can't pay the slightest attention to like any girl that is attractive
