Oh, for the attention of Tanny and anyone else who isn't /co/ - Firefly comes from an abusive family situation (thus she's pretty thread consistent) and though initially frightened of it, becomes obsessed with the beauty and power of fire. She has her own flamethrower that she made herself. She suffered psychological trauma and believes herself to be a fire deity. The 'proof' of this is that she's impervious to flame - actually caused by a horribly scarring accident that left the retardant suit fused to her skin. The science is wrong I'm sure but don't spoil it, she's cool.

I think you may have been right about me, Nick. Last night I stumbled upon a video about the fear of intimacy, and some things in it seemed to click with me. You mentioned before that my issues may have had something to do with parental emotional neglect, but in this video they talked about how the opposite (an emotionally over concerned/smothering parent) could result in not expressing emotions over a desire to avoid worrying/bothering others. I'm sure there are contributing factors, but I think having an overprotective mother might be part of the reason why I am the way I am when it comes to expressing my emotions, or rather not expressing them.

>What do you think you could make?
well supervillan wise, I've tossed up making an eye tracking dazzler with a 7W diode laser, technically against Geneva convention which is neet but not much i can so with it. Currently gathering the pieces for a millimetre wave gun (Google active denial system). I would make a chlorine bomb. a canister that, upon receiving a phone call or some other triggering method, mixes Sodium hypochlorite and ammonia to release chlorine gas, though that's extraordinarily illegal so that's gotta stay theoretical for now.

I look down, into my hands, into your hands. Soft, careful, steady. From the comfort of the palm of your hand, I investigate your fingers. The type of fingers that forego beauty for utility, which in turn, makes them all the more beautiful. Specifically crafted to answer the call to passion, to work and rework and rework until perfection. It's a shame that now the cuts won't come from working too fast on a project, but the pages of your new dry books. Rounded on the tips, chewed, soft, careful, steady.
Slowly, up from your wrist to your elbows to your shoulder. Your arm covered to cover the silly mistakes. I hit myself for mistaking them for silliness. Round and sturdy, your arms are. When they hold me, they cushion me from myself. When they hold me, I forget about myself, for once.
Feeling down your back, searching for the best place to grip. Days spent hunched over a sketchbook puts wear on the spine. As I feel down it, you shiver.
Often I'll romanticize that we're both crazy and I'm not the only one losing control. After all, the best artists, are loony.
My other hand made its way to your face, brushing your hair to the side. I take hold of the back of your neck and feel the hair rise. My eyes wander aimlessly through your cloudy misty morning on an English countryside.
Your lips, humming the unforgettable tune of lust.
I lean in, pause, and brush my mouth against yours. Pulling yourself into it, we make contact.
The cool soft embrace of your lips, you inhale through your nose, as though you've been waiting for this. Pulling away, I know I want more. But your careful lips whispers, no more, no more for now.

>>38670176

Focus on the positive experiences in your life, things that validate you that you didn't pay enough attention to. That's one way.

apu being a helping hand, this apu is Nick no?

Maybe any of you can help me out with this one.

I should have finished high school back in 2013 when I was 18 but instead I failed 2011 and went to a different school, I still saw my old friends and had new ones too, smoked weed a lot too and had like 5 bishes wanting my d but I was to stupid to do anything, overall I consider 2012 the best year of my life.Then I moved to another school from 2013 to 2014, it wasnt as cool as before. I finished the 2014 with 4 subjects behind (wrong choice of words im not a native english speaker), then became a full time NEET in 2015 and the first five months of 2016, then started wageslaving and sleeping bad etc, but I will quit the first days of september cos I have to go take care of my grandma; she gets a lot of money from my deceased grandpa pension thingy and other stuff so maybe I can become a semi-NEET.

So here's the deal: ever since 2014 iirc I dream at least 4 of the 7 days of the week about being back in high school, being 14-18 again (turning 22 in 2 months), reliving old times with my current memories etc. Its the thing I dream about the most (second being getting intimate with a 3d or 2d girl and third about panty and stocking season 2 or just made up episodes).

Besides this before I started wagecucking last year I was told I looked 14-15 at most when I was 20 and a half, after I started wagecucking I have slept pretty bad and now I look 18 on a good day and 20 most of the days. I took great pride in my young looks but now I look just a few years younger and some people just straight tell me im/look 21. This will come out creepy to most of you but I was thinking about hanging out with 14-18 "kids" last year, but eventually stopped thinking about it when I looked at myself in the mirror and realized I looked like your average tired wagie. Also I like 13-16 girls besides the average 18+ roastie (13 being legal in some countries, aoc in my country is 16)

so you seem to be captivated with villany? do you have/do anything that makes you devious?
>>
>>38670860
I wouldn't say so especially. Villains do tend to be a bit more fun though. I enjoy acting, and I tend to be drawn to those types of characters because I think there's more to sink your teeth into a lot of the time. They just seem to have the most fun.
>>
>>38670911
fair enough, i tend to like (well written) villains for two reasons
>more human
normally applies to super heros but often times while the hero may be super human, or a demi god or an alien etc, the villains tend to use technology or be mad scientists or harness the occult etc, they're men seeking godhood who are smacked back down by those who have already attained it.
>they have good motives but are real humans so they are flawed in their methods
You often see that they have reasons that make sense in a vacuum but their methods or ideas have just kinda spiralled out of the relm of what is acceptable, sometimes due to their own actions sometimes due to external influences.

Doom, I'm with you all the way. Octavius is great too. You should read his run as the Superior Spiderman. Because of comics fuckery he ends up in Parker's body and sets about improving upon his legacy, using advanced technology including extra limbs, drones and various other surveillance methods. Plus, he acts like a dick a lot which is fun.

You might also like Magneto, for that highly intelligent, tortured villain feel (though whether he's a villain at all is up for debate).
>>

oh and Reed Richards

so being more on topic, how are you feeling tonight facet?

>>38671361
Reed had a good villain run in Ultimate as The Maker. Some good body horror.

Tbh I'm getting a touch emotional because I think I might have hit upon something disturbing.

If we look at the kinds of characters I'm attracted to, let's say Wesker and Volgin
What can we say about them?

>Physically imposing
>Arrogant
>Cruel and sadistic
>Ruthless
>Ambitious
>Hubristic
>Merciless

It just hit me: that was what it was like growing up. My father, I mean. Shit.
>>
>>38671435
>My father
thats... so that's what you as powerful because of your childhood, you want to be powerful so you aim to be like your dad... who you view as an archetypal villain... that's pretty heavy dude, i don't know what to say, what was your childhood like?

Hold on, you've missed it. It's heavier than that. I said characters I was attracted to.
>>
>>38671617
like... sexually?
>>
>>38671635
Sure. Now that I look back on it, if nothing else when I've had male partners I've always picked someone bigger and stronger than me. The only serious bf I had abandoned me at a critical juncture. I suppose my role model for masculinity is tied up in that. This is a mess.
>>
>>38671675
i have heard that childhood trauma can heavily influence sexual preference, was your dad physically abusive? emotionally abusive? sexually abusive?
>>
>>38671736
Not sexually. Physically and emotionally. There was one incident that messed me up sexually involving him though. When I was going through puberty me made me clean the bathroom naked on my hands and knees. Just tore me out of bed while I was sleeping and threw me on the floor, shouting at me. Haven't had a good night's sleep since. I don't know why I'm telling you this.

I do have an idea why it's all coming up tonight though. I used to starve all the time in my teens, when I had that boyfriend. Since I decided to go a few days without food now, maybe something was knocked loose mentally. Stirred something up.

It looks set to be a bit of a dark night of the soul, I think.

>>38672004
Yeah, true enough. So what about you, anyway? You said things weren't all roses for you growing up.
>>
>>38672046
my dad was never around as he worked overseas and my mum never had the time to look after me so we lived at my grand parents, my grandfather was a passive but kind man, normally just sat and watched TV, My grandmother was callous and cruel, she would routeenly demean both me and my mother, often by comparing me to my mother, told me I was the reason my dad was never home when I was maybe 7 or 8? I was fat growing up and i had no friends in primary and secondary school, Girls can be incredibly cruel, threatening anyone who tried to reach out to me with social ostracization, which worked. Tame compared to what your dad did to you but there's a reason i wore a floral dress to my grandmothers funeral.

It's good that you and your mother have one another. It's interesting that you wouldn't like to understand her more, but perhaps that's for the best. It's not as though you can change her for the better now. Her flesh has rotted, and her legacy is one of contempt. All that remains of her is a spectre of murderous intent.

>>
>>38672547
I get on well with one of my brothers. I'm close to him, since he went through it all with me. Comparable to your own situation. I have other siblings too, but they're much younger so there's distance, though we get on.

My mother is no better than my father if not worse, albeit for different reasons.
>>
>>38672632
>if not worse
that's just not fair, i guess toxic people attract each other, anything traumatic happen outside of family life?
>>
>>38672695
Ha. Yes. I was sexually abused by an older boy over an extended period of time growing up, and it was subsequently mishandled. I was put in therapy with him, if you can believe it. A real shit sandwich. Still, it is what it is. I'm cold to the whole thing now, though I can't remember most of it clearly.
>>
>>38672776
How severe was the abuse?
>>
>>38672854
Since you ask, the sex aspect was less significant than the threats and the sense of powerlessness. It became a truly existential threat. After all, a child will believe a great deal. So when you're told that your soul will burn if you tell, you take it at face value. Nevertheless, I told. As I've said though, it wasn't dealt with appropriately. It was still better than divine punishment. I'm still quite bitter about how things unfolded.
>>
>>38672776
>it was subsequently mishandled.
it can't have been that ba...
>I was put in therapy with him
thats... an impressive level of fuckup, how old were you both, how do you think that has affected you mentally today?
>>
>>38672947
I would be too. Who's idea was it to put you two into therapy together?
>>
>>38672999
My best guess is that my mother thought that it would be appropriate since she wouldn't want to lose the friendship of the boy's mother. It is my understanding that it was her partner that was abusing them, which is what led to the circumstances I found myself in. It does not excuse what happened, but it does go some way toward explaining it.
>>
>>38673048
So what's wrong with your mom?
>>
>>38673111
Well, at the very least she's bipolar but I'm not sure that that is the full picture. Throughout childhood and into adulthood she simply could not be trusted and is, at best, a liability. I try to avoid her though it isn't always possible. She loves me, in her way, but it hasn't stopped her screwing me over throughout my life in service to her own ends. She is unfortunately a wholly negative influence on my life. I don't hate her, but sometimes I think it might be better if she were dead. I feel pity for her, but I don't believe that she'll ever be able to improve her lot, or herself. She a lost cause.
>>
>>38673239
That's reaIIy disappointing.
>>
>>38673353
It is a shame. I just wish it weren't so; whenever I give her another chance she finds a new way to do me some type of harm.

Is that the end for tonight then? Seems like everyone has left.

Good night and sleep well! One last apu for the night.
>>
>>38669243
Every day I think of a friend I made for a few months last year. I fell in love with her then she revealed she was married and I tried hard to stuff my feelings away. It ate me up studying with her after learning that fact but I did so partially because I loved being around her, hearing her voice and seeing her smile was like heaven to me. Having to "share" her with other study partners made me even more jealous and bitter but never angry because her mere presence calmed me down.

During the last few weeks of the semester another girl approached me and I thought we hit it off, for some time this kept my friend off my mind. Eventually, though, the new girl turned out to not actually want much to do with me and took weeks then months to return messages. So in spite of that, after my friend moved and that girl ghosted me, I tried to keep my chin up and tried again with another girl. This one was nice at first but then rejected me and told me we could still be friends. Like a sucker I believed it and like a sucker I got treated like shit. She became cold and tried hard to make me jealous or feel unwanted. It nearly drove me insane and I started hurting myself(punching, very long walks, cold showers, teeth grinding, self-wounding etc.). I never really got better from that even after I cut contact with her and it affected my classes and got me further into my bad habits.

All of this ties into my main issue: Every single day since last year I've been thinking of my friend and the thoughts have become more and more prevalent and I think those events made it worse. She was the only truly kind female I've ever had in my life but all of the intrusive thoughts of her really hurt me and I wish I could make them stop.

Any advice? I want to move on and feel better.

tl;dr: Can't stop thinking about oneitis.

>>38675370
She's married, man. You have zero chances with her unless if she were to get divorced. In which case she would still be hurting and wouldn't want something quickly afterwards. What you need to do is pick your potential partners better. If you've gotten burned twice, learn from your mistakes and go for women that respect you. Learn to be independent and alone. To the point where you can seek out potential partners, but if it all goes to shit you're mentally prepared for it and will not hurt yourself. Expect the worst under any circumstances and never get your hopes up. Do you have any friends?
>>
>>38675776
>She's married, man. You have zero chances with her unless if she were to get divorced.
I know. Just talking to her used to make me feel guilty, when we used to talk. I submitted to the fact that we can't be together but it doesn't help because it goes beyond even being with her in that way. She made me feel like I mattered, like I was more than just a background character in my own life. She was one of my greatest friends and my romantic feelings dilluted that but they're still there. I believe I think about her both as someone I want to be friends with again and someone I have feelings toward but the latter makes the former impossible and I don't know what to do about it.

As for partners I haven't even thought about seriously pursuing anyone but I'll keep what you've said in mind if I ever do again. And no, I have no real friends.

yeah. When I get a job I'm going to adjust my sleep accordingly so I still get a decent amount. I just mean that I should try scaling it back so I don't suddenly go from sleeping at 4AM-5AM to sleeping at whatever time normies go to bed.
>>
>>38680449
Also I apologize if my posts are becoming a little incoherent since I'm getting tired.
>>
>>38680474
Nah, it's fine. I went to bed at 0500-0530ish, got up at 1030. Annoying, but once your sleep pattern is a certain way it's difficult to stay asleep past the usual time.
>>
>>38680499
I find that I somehow always wake up a few minutes before my alarm goes off, regardless if it's my normal time or if I went to bed at a reasonable time. Somehow my body just knows I need to get up at the right time.

The weirdest shit is definitely if I'm out camping or in a hotel room. I'll feel like I'm half awake almost all night, but if there's a clock I can see in the dark I'll just sort of lose hours without realizing I fell asleep and later woke up.

Alright, I'm starting to ramble. I'll be back later today, time to get some sleep.

Hey Facet, nice to see you again. Not sure what else to say here.

That's alright. So, you mentioned DID symptoms. What triggers it and what, if anything, do you do to suppress it? It was you that talked about it before, right? My cognition is a little impeded.

>>38681634
It was me that mentioned it. If you mean the transition to my other self, it would be during bouts of extreme depression, say when I get depressed and cannot let something go while getting increasingly more depressed.

Every other symptom seems to generalized it is hard to say if I have it or not.

>Hallucinations
My mind is quite active and I can often see things in a sort of dreamlike world. But I can always tell which is reality and which is this other world, so not so much hallucinations.

>Non-verbal state
Not too sure if I understand what you mean, but when I have my other side come out, she is quite quiet. A good word to describe her would be brooding, except she isn't so much depressed as completely apathetic to everything. She doesn't do anything destructive outside of calculating attacks against those who talk to her, perhaps because she just is so apathetic that she cannot be bothered.

>Paranoia
I am known for being quite the hypochondriac. I panic about a lot of things. The possibility of death, mosquitoes possibly being outside at night, ticks, people trying to take away my FP, the fear that I am actually retarded...

How much planning do you typically put into a quest? Do you prepare physical resources, notes, what? More off the cuff or fully scripted? It can vary a lot from GM to GM.

I'm beginning to notice my latent social anxiety more and more lately, and it's beginning to ruin my life.

Where do I start fixing this shit?

>>38682768
You need to take steps to mitigate it. How is it affecting you?
>>
>>38682829
I get invited somewhere, and I agree, but when the time actually comes, I get scared and inform I won't be coming after all. This leaves people mad at me.
>>
>>38682862
My advice would be as follows: if you can get anxiety meds, do so. Run through the event in your mind. Think about how it will play out. If you start thinking of unrealistic scenarios, pull yourself back. Ground yourself. Give yourself an out when you go. Say to yourself you only need to stay an hour or whatever feels manageable.
>>
>>38682967
I really don't want to get on meds... I'd like to solve this shit on my own somehow.
>>
>>38682749
>How much planning do you typically put into a quest? Do you prepare physical resources, notes, what? More off the cuff or fully scripted? It can vary a lot from GM to GM.
Usually 6-8 hours a week are spent drafting and typing up early episode choices and finding pics to use for the weekend, as well as drawing up a general outline of what comes next through the next few installments. Then spend another 2-3 on statblocks and strengths/weaknesses. After I hit a certain point I lose the hard scripted things and go off the cuff, simply because I blew through the prewriting at incredibly hihg speeds and am left with only the outline. Or my players roll two 1s in a row or a nat 100 and I have to adjust slightly.
>>
>>38683008
That's fair enough. Of course there's always alcohol but that's a whole tin of worms. If you're going to handle it manfully - and I respect that - then it's going to come down to resolve. You gotta keep yourself in the loop. Say you're pulling back - you need to make it down the store. Don't let it slip. Force yourself to do these little things and ironclad your will. That's the way to prove to yourself that you can do it. Prove it bit by bit every day.
>>
>>38683062
Thanks. I'll try to keep it in mind in the future.
>>
>>38683070
Make a plan to do something small and stick to it. Maybe you have a phone conversation with one of these buddies so you feel less overfaced when you get there. If you can trust any of them with it, tell them you're feeling anxious lately.
>>
>>38683116
Yeah, thanks. May not be an option for me, tho.

Sorry I did not respond earlier, I typed a long response, but I deleted it, it was just venting at myself.
>>
>>38683322
Do what you feel, but I'd be interested. Why wouldn't it be an option? Something's making it difficult for you, clearly.
>>
>>38683345
Well, these people are not exactly buddies, they're more like co-workers. Impressing them might open me some doors career-wise, but I feel out of my fucking league when I'm with them. They're very smart, well-read, and just... prospective, you know? And I somehow managed to make a good first impression on them, and now they're inviting me to their hangouts, almost as if expecting me to be on the same par as them. And I don't want to let them down, but by not going, I let them down anyway, and that's what's most anoying.

I wish I could be in complete control on just how much and under what circumstances I socialize with them (this applies to all other people, really), but this complete control is not possible, and I get stressed easily when things don't go the way I planned.

I don't know, I think I'm just rambling now. I don't know what I want to say.
>>
>>38683392
I know where you're coming from, anon. I have similar problems myself. As hard as it is, you can only control yourself. That means putting things in place to get yourself out of there. Maybe scope out the hangout beforehand so you know the space. I know this is real normie-tier advice but just try to relax. Or rather, just try to care less. Just take a step back. When I'm stressed as shit at work rushed off my feet I think hey! this isn't so bad. It could be much worse. It's not like I'm a child soldier or working a corner or whatever. So yeah, taking a breath and just zooming out can make a difference. For me anyway. My problems, in the moment, seem huge but maybe they ain't that big you know?

I'm beginning to think I really am the opposite of Dan.
Women don't actually care about me, they just want my genes and to have nothing else to do with me. I'm not the beta to take care of the kids, I'm the insane alpha that will destroy people but is too volatile to be around.
Well shit.
>>
>>38684275
I bet it can be lonely.
>>
>>38684275
>Women don't actually care about me, they just want my genes and to have nothing else to do with me.
That seems pretty unlikely to be honest. If you had great genes, women would likely want to stick around.

Why are you volatile? That's the thing.

Also I probably shouldn't be surprised that I'm used at the measure of the genetically inferior beta. The anti-alpha, if you will.
>>
>>38684275
>they just want my genes
is this a thing, because in my experience, other than people choosing ideal husbands, this isn't a thing.
>>
>>38684353
>I probably shouldn't be surprised that I'm used at the measure of the genetically inferior beta.
well it's a bit of a dick move at the very least
>>
>>38684324
I'm very good at socializing but part of me despises it. I recognize how people view me. So I hate myself. That's probably the worst part.

>>38684353
This is coming from the guy who talks about how women want sex from one guy, but they want another guy to help raise the kids. I'm just a fantasy or whatever, man.

>>38684375
It's a thing, apparently. Otherwise I'd probably have at least *a* relationship right now.

>>38684446
I'm merely using his worldview as presented.
>>
>>38684446
Not really considering all the shit I've said ITT. You can't keep calling yourself something negative and be surprised when people start using this label too.

Also on an entirely different topic, has anyone seen the new movie, Dunkerque? I'm thinking about going to the cinema to watch it tonight. I kinda like the idea of going to the cinema since I only have a laptop with small 15.4" screen. That shit's no fun. And also maybe I'll see if the /r9k/ rumors are true and people will point and laugh at me for going alone, lel.
>>
>>38684467
I have no doubt that you could pursue a relationship. Perhaps your approach is lacking. I don't doubt your gregariousness, but if you make yourself available for casual sex people may reduce you to that. It might be time to play coy.
>>
>>38684467
>Otherwise I'd probably have at least *a* relationship right now
well no, women not seaking you out for your "genes" wouldn't not make it more likely for you to be in a relationship, so do you have a lot of one night stands or short relationships? by "genes" do you just mean you are sexually attractive? Just trying to unpick what parts you were using dan's logic and what parts you were not.
>>
>>38684467
>I'm just a fantasy or whatever, man.
Well I must have said it wrong then. Women would love to have the Chad as both the sperm giver and the provider, but the point is there aren't that many Chads, which is why they have to settle for the beta to provide.

But obviously Chad can take his pick and out of the women he can impregnate he can choose the best one. That's what I meant.

i get that but i don't think it's true, i think you are cripplingly insecure which causes you to exaggerate your physical flaws as excuses for chances never taken.

it's good, very very good. No-one will give a fuck if you go alone, the vast majority of people won't even notice, normies are very self concerned.

Fuck me, there is no spiderman tonight in my city. Honestly the only spiderman movie I have seen is the one with Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst.

The other option is one of the new planet of the apes movies, but I haven't seen any planet of the apes, including the old ones.

Well yeah, that's true for sure. On the other hand, this is an incentive to stop. As I am in fact rather narcissist (pic. related).

>it's good, very very good.
It's settled then. I don't know what it is, but I want to go as late as night as possible. It just seems much more appealing. Sadly the latest is at 11PM. If it was closer to midnight that would be awesome.

>>38684613
Honestly that's what I was thinking when I saw Michael Keaton. Now I don't know much about the comic book character, but it just doesn't seem to fit.
>>
>>38684626
>I don't know what it is
you don't need to know much about it, how much do you know about the real events that took place? the less the better desu, it's fucking intense though, you don't get a break until the very end of the film.
>>
>>38684505
>but if you make yourself available for casual sex people may reduce you to that
This is like, my whole life man - but not just in the area of sex. People reduce me to not much, and are always shocked when they realize how legitimately intelligent I am... It's so fucking aggravating, and is one of the main things I mean by I recognize how people view me.

>>38684526
>Women would love to have the Chad as both the sperm giver and the provider
Only when they want a provider, though. Independent women who can't be tied down, and all that.

>>38684519
I don't even fuck or pursue women. It's just how they treat me. It's infuriating.
I've been avoiding pursing women for a long time, and when I made the mistake of doing it again, I got used for sex and because of my mind. What a shock, I'm a fucking trophy male.
I hate people so damn much right now. I fucking hate them.
>>
>>38684638
Keaton is note perfect. Nothing like the character in the comics but that character was dumb and you don't even know him. As much of a revitalisation as was Doc Ock back in the day. Honestly the original character was dumb as shit: an old man with a bright green vulture outfit who went around draining the youth out of people. Keaton plays a blinder in a re-imagining as radically different as Ledger's Joker. A construction worker trodden on one too many times.

>>38684672
Then it's up to you to make a change. You must present yourself in a certain way when you have so much more to offer than what people are seeing. Try changing the circles you move in. Take up something less superficial.
>>
>>38684672
so what are your negatives? because so far your complaint is "I'm so perfect that no body wants me"
>>
>>38684662
Fuck me. This is what happens when you structure your sentences the way you would in your native language.

I meant that I don't know what makes me want to go to the cinema late at night.

>>
>>38684710
nah it's cool
>I don't know what makes me want to go to the cinema late at night.
I dunno night time in general is bretty comfy for me, especially on a week day when normons have gone to bed rather than being loud and obnoxious.
>>
>>38684672
>Only when they want a provider, though. Independent women who can't be tied down, and all that.
I don't get what you mean. Ideally they want a Chad who can be both. You can be both, women should be lining up at your door. Yet they aren't. What's missing here?

>>38684692
> Keaton plays a blinder in a re-imagining as radically different as Ledger's Joker. A construction worker trodden on one too many times.
That does sound interesting.

Being extremely good at social situations requires altering your persona a great deal. It can be a little disconcerting to people.

The kind of women I'm attracted to do not want to be tied down. They literally have personality disorders, because that's the kind of women I'm attracted to. That's almost certainly part of my own disorders.

>>38684692
I have the ability to change how I am in front of people, though it's embarrassing to do so. It's kind of hard to explain - my persona's are calculated, but they're calculated by some process I don't fully understand myself. I couldn't tell you exactly how to be good at talking to people.

>>38684944
See above. I become very aware of my personas and their effects, and I can become quite paranoid and full of anxiety. I suppose I just have panic attacks or something.

Okay. Do you have any idea why are you attracted to women like that?
>>
>>38684989
Nick would say you lack zero empathy. My argument is that this is exactly what humanity is normally like. We all could care less about the weak ones in the hive, we have too much honey to produce.
>>
>>38684961
People can be quite shit, but should "we" behave like the lowest common point?

I once read "be who you needed when you were a child"

I think for progress to be made, "we" have to be better than what came before us. What others do or don't do shouldn't dictate our values or our actions.

>>38684921

Because of my anxiety and people issues, I only write when I'm drunk

surly the solution to this would just to stop adapting yourself for the sake of social interaction, if you don't care about the benifits it's giving you and contiuing to do so is causing you discomfort, why not just stop?

Okay, let's look into some more psychology and see how it holds up. You know, like when an authority figure tells you to continue delivering electric shocks into an unconscious person to torture them for not answering?
>>
>>38685114
Out of these I'd watch either Fargo or Hannibal.
>>
>>38685178
I worry that Hannibal might be a bit trashy. Fargo S1 was great though. What a character Malvo was. Watched one episode of S2. Does it pick up?
>>
>>38685145
What do you want me to say? My opinion on it?

Personally I have pretty big contempt towards authorities and especially the police. They're pretty much a force to protect the state, the government. Which has very little to do with people. I have never once in my life saw a policeman help someone.

And also living in a country that has been occupied for the last couple hundred years, policemen have always helped the occupation forces.

So yeah. There isn't really much you really have to do when told to. You have to show them your ID, if they decide to put you under arrest you can not resist, but that's about it. Nothing about delivering shocks.
>>
Everyone berates and belittles me at work and I don't know what to do anymore, it's keeping me up at night, all the humiliation I take, from everyone, i seriously think about quitting, but it's such a nice paying job and i won't find anything like it soon
>>
>>38685145
well that's more to do with the power of an authority figure.
the story of the woman on the ground is a textbook example of the bystander effect.
"someone should do something"
everyone things that someone else should be the "someone"
>>
>>38685216
Fuck me, I meant the Fargo from 1996. No idea about the new one.

Hannibal is nice if you liked the Silence of the Lambs, but it's not great by any means. Honestly the thing I remember like the most about that movie is Julianne Moore.

Maybe someone else should give you movie advice instead of me, lol.
>>
>>38685032
I don't have some superhuman empathy, I just do things because I'm compelled to do so.
I wouldn't give a shit about her, and I'd still stop. And it's not special in any way. I tend to be suspicious of people who run over to help people in a whirlwind of passion.

>>38685114
There definitely is a real me, but there are other more ideal states I could have as well. These don't pertain to social situations the vast majority of the time though, since social situations require more nuanced or even mundane processes to fulfill "successfully".

>>38685043
I'd like to try doing this, though as I said before, it's a little embarrassing and takes away control from me. I suppose at the end of the day, this is a way to cope with people who I don't really like all that much, IE most people on this planet.

Ha, I was talking about series in both cases. Seen all those movies already.

Oh the Hannibal series. That is trashy as fuck. It's so pretentious, relies heavily on special effects it's like watching a dumb soap opera that takes itself way too seriously and involves murders.

I have seen the whole thing by the way. Out of momentum mostly.

Do you like war series? You seem like the guy who would. Have you seen the Band of brothers?

1. I have personally sent 3 drunk wanderers into their cabs home and one into an ambulance with thr help of other japanese people who could actually make phone calls.

Of course none of these events would ever go on the news. It's not news worthy. You'll never read articles about this.

2. I am sure that for most people who ignore a woman lying on the street at night, these people arent trying to be cold or heartless on purpose. They're afraid. They just don't have the courage to go up and help.

3. London is a dense city and in dense cities people are less nice to strangers because in cities crime is higher and people are on higher guard.

that's admirable, i like to think i would be the same but i imagine that it's harder to act like that in a high stress situation.
>>
>>38685103
If you're content not doing it, that's your choice. There's no reason, like there's no reason to anything. I'm just saying that behaving badly because other people does it doesn't hold up logically. I'd say it does feel nice being able to rise above the shitty behavior you see in others (not that I think myself superior, better or anything). Knowing that despite the shit you see in people and the world, you can adhere to your own kind of principles and values is a nice feel. I think for a lot of clever people, including yourself, it feels better being able to progress, than to be stagnant or regress.

>>38685114
>What's Rectify, my dude?

It's a series about a guy who was on death row for rape and murder, but the question of his guilt is open. He gets out of prison, but the effects of being isolated weighs heavily on him. I could relate to the main character

>Never once saw a policeman help someone
Now you are talking about the Lucifer Effect. Put people in authority, make it normalized, and they will abuse you because they can.

>Nothing about delivering shocks
That wasn't the point of the experiment. The point is to show that, if told to do such. most humans would inject a lethal amount of voltage into another human being simply because they perceived it as being normal. This basically was done to explain how Nazis and other similar groups can do what they do. Elect a leader of the hive mind, they will follow what is told blindly and in the process willingly injure others.

The point I am trying to make is empathy isn't a real thing in society, Nick is disillusioned to believe the world is much better than it is. Nick once said you shared my views on society, I am here to say those views are right.

I think people wish to believe in empathy, that they have it, because it makes them feel better about themselves. Nick might potentially be gullible to a double-faced society that is as "bad" as we are. We just are honest about it. Nick is the exception to the rule, not the normality.

Ok, that's about what I thought. Thanks, I'll avoid it. War-wise, I can get into it. There was Hacksaw Ridge, and that was a great story. It was a little heavy on the messiah imagery at times but a startling tale: a pacifist during WWII that saved hundreds of lives for his God. The problem with a war series would likely be that I'd just get salty that my military career trajectory never happened because of health issues.

>>38685369
It's like lucidity in a dream to me. People are constantly sleepwalking around and it can be hard to snap yourself out of that setting until the moment has passed. For me, the toll of regret is heavier than the risk.

I think it's better this way. for people to believe in empathy. I think the world would be much worse if everyone was like us. It's not that everyone else is dishonest. They know what it's really like, they just don't want the world to go to shit.

Probably, yeah. Even if people are petty or short minded, a population is still better off if people value themselves for being empathetic.

that might be your issue, I don't know because your co-workers could just be bullying assholes but it sounds like "banter" they're insulting you to brake the ice and bring you down to a relatable level, the normal reaction would be to light heartedly fire back, try to have the last laugh and make jokes at the instigators expense, this is not meant to be mean spirited though.

To me, banter is about wit. Take my daily bullying of Atlas. My goal isn't to make him feel bad, it's to make him and others laugh. That, and to let him know he belongs here and that I devote a part of my day, every day, to thinking about him.

>>38685607
Love it.
>>
>>38685263
Exactly. People say they have empathy, but it is a lie. They can willingly do heinous acts if told to do such. They can leave a bleeding woman on the road because they can't be bothered to help.

I am not better than any of this, I am not judging it and saying how immoral it is. I am saying it is proof humans cannot have empathy for each other. That everyone else puts on a holier than thou attitude when their empathy is much the same as mine.

>>38685274
You say that, but the test proves you would do otherwise. I think that is the truth of the matter, people like to fool themselves into believing they are better people. Anything to pat you on the back, to give you some mental masturbation as you praise yourself for being a good civilian. Some do eventually stop, probably because they are being watched and want to feel better. But if in a deserted area with nobody else around? Either you have higher empathy than most or you are not going to care.

>>38685362
>Not news worthy
Understandable. But for every person trying to help, you have a lot more that could entirely ignore what is going on.

>They're afraid
Wouldn't that be a selfish action, prioritizing your own needs over that of the other? Yet we wouldn't have people raping each other if they knew they could get away with it.

>People are on higher guard
"I live in a bad place, I can can freely not care about this person and not feel bad". Cities are where most people are at, where the majority of people are clustered together, and shows what happens when you put so many in an area. Cities are proof that humans only care about themselves, that society prioritizes their own base pleasures.

>>38685375
I can understand this, you wish to benefit others in the hive. I wish to benefit individuals I find worthy of benefits. To me, you are essentially making yourself a martyr for others simply because you wish to feel good. That is your choice to make. The problem is when society forces you to benefit them.

I'd disagree with that, i'm empathetic to a fault, I'm just saying that it is easy for people to bypass their empathy through abstraction. You can have empathy without action.

One thing is seeing value in a different perspective, another is being dominated by that perspective. One thing is having an alternative approach or opinion, another is being a deconstructionist

We live a limited life, all we can do is in some way come to terms with what we have. Sometimes we can't even do that. But, if we have our own interests at heart, it's what we have to do

No, I don't have a need to make an impact. I'm outlining possibilities. I don't compromise. I'm a loner who rarely see other people. I'm telling you there are alternatives. But I do agree there's a problem when society forces your hand. I don't use other people to feel good as I don't talk to other people.

Have you ever lived in a city?
Often when you 'help someone you get robbed or taken advantage of in someway. When i was a stupid teen i would help strangers who asked me for stuff and found myself in all sorts of strange situations - getting called fat and they tried to sell slimming products to me, they start trting to trick me into going to one of those cult new-era churches etc. i was raised in a city with extremely low physical crime yet shit like this happens

The reason why people are afraid to help a stranger is because they don't know what to do and in a city MORE OFTEN you do get fucked over when helping others.

>>38685644
>people like to fool themselves into believing they are better people
You see, I don't fall for this illusion. I know exactly how evil I truly am, but I choose not to act on that either. My altruism doesn't come from a place of empathy, but from the same place shaking your hand does. Stopping to see if someone is dead or not and can be helped does nothing for me - I just do it. It doesn't make me feel good about myself either - nothing to do with anything does these days.

People who pray on street corners have their reward in full, though.

So the only solution is to try to avoid authority as much as possible. Revel in what freedoms you can find, escape the reality of limitations when you cannot.

Truthfully I don't see it having too much of a difference. The biggest change is that people would be more honest, you could take what they said at more face value.

>>38685473
Exactly. As individuals we are fine. I never had gripes with the individual, except for the fact that the individual often partakes in society and thus becomes part of the enemy for they seek to cuck me at every opportunity.

Evidence? Earlier today I had to take a dump. I went to the work bathroom, knocked on the door. The person inside was just finishing up and said "Here you go, anon". He made it perfectly clear he was announcing to the world that I was on the toilet so that anyone who wished to can imagine whatever fetishes they have about it. My grandmother says hello and will watch me walk into the bathroom, having to know I am going in there. Everyone is obsessed with these details and monitor me constantly, I cannot freely take a dump unless I avoid the bathrooms.

that is the ideal but might be a bit hard, if it is just banter you could just try calmly asking them to stop
"i'm sorry dude but you're making me really uncomfortable, no offence to you personally but i'd prefer if we kept our relationship strictly professional" is they protest "please you are making it hard for me to do my job, I don't want to get HR involved" is they still persist, get HR involved, say they are harassing you.

Well I could imagine the traffic police just being dissolved. They don't contribute towards safety, they just pick spots where it's easy to get money. Like a long straight good road with a retarded limitation.

Traffic police contribute nothing. And the rest aren't much better.

Exactly. More people in a city, thus a larger study window, thus evidence of what society's nature is like. This is what people are like in general when brought together, just because they can do it easier when hidden among the masses.

Of course the one area people have to show empathy is where they judge you for having happiness and decide to shade themselves like vampires from your sinful and heinous act of acting like a bee.

>Those you help would ignore you if you were bleeding to death because they rather play Angry Birds.
I understand this as well. It does make me feel a bit of something I guess, but it doesn't really bother me. As I said, I don't expect people to help others anyway.

I'm reminded of the Prologue of Thus Spoke Zarathustra - a tight-rope walker falls and is about to die, and Zarathustra barely reacts as the man lands right next to him. He's the only one to kneel down and comfort the man to his death, though.

I didn't submit any work for one pesky module and now my university won't accept me back. I still have a way back through, I had substance abuse problems which I actually had to have counselling for towards the end of the year so I'll have to call them to tell my university what I've been having trouble with so hopefully they'll let me off and I can continue my studies.

Otherwise I'm looking at shit-tier manual labour jobs and I doubt it'll help my substance abuse. Music is literally the only thing keeping me going.

I don't necessarily need advice but I need to vent. Do you think uni will keep me on? They know I have mental health problems but I don't know how much more lenient they can be with me.

It's not about not being inconvenienced, nor getting some benefit. It's a thing to do.
It's like a compulsion - my interest. When you really study something interesting to you, you get a specific feeling.

Considering psychopathy is lack of empathy, these scores always counterbalance each other; it's been the case 100% here.

well crimes of passion would be an obvious one, but also people who get riled up into mobs, like the Salem which trials or lynchings in the southern US, people who support the persecution of others simply because they are scared of them, people who demanded war or retaliation after 9/11 etc.

Probably not that long, in truth.

EQ of 25 means you're in the autism spectrum, or psychopathy spectrum. Either way, you don't know how others feel much and may not experience many emotions yourself. That part depends.
>>
>>38687340
Since I'm fairly drunk- I'm noticeable above average regarding intelligence. Human behavior is pattern recognition. I noticed odd behavior from adults when I was a child. I could tell adults reacted "odd", but it took some time for me to understand what that odd behavior meant.

When I was a teenager I started reading about body language and basic concepts within psychology.

When I was 17+, I got a friend who used to comment other people's behavior. She would say things like "did you see how angry Eric was?" Comments like that made me aware what patterns to look for. I normally wouldn't notice people were angry, but in this instance I'd look for hidden clues like this,

When I was 20+ I met someone who told me what he could tell from looking at people's pictures. He told me about people in a way where i understood how he interpreted them. Which meant I could copy his understanding/ perspective to a certain degree. He taught me how to interpret people's state of mind. The same happened when I started reading posts by you, Nick. I can copy your mental approach to help other people on forums. Which might sound insane. Despite my autism, I seem to have some talent for understanding people.

Society and people is not a single thing. Just like you might have felt isolated and alone, there are people right now who feel the same. Some people benefit greatly from the different type of perspective people like yourself offer.
>>
>>38687519
>well crimes of passion would be an obvious one

That would include a lot of people, and it's not a matter of judgement, absolutely not. People who commit crimes of passion know exactly what may happen, but it matters less than what they feel. That's not a daily occurrence, though. People with enough emotions and empathy generally don't end up doing crazy shit, while people with less actually go and kill, and not just out of "passion".

>>38687519
>like the Salem which trials

This wasn't about passion, people actually believed it and thought about it. Americans back then were literally a country of intellectuals, with the most literacy in the world, at around 80%. The founders of the USA were highly educated; American farmers knew how to read when Europeans ones didn't. American farmers even learned agricultural tips from reading ancient Greek authors. So no, the Salem stuff wasn't some hothead trial based on feefees. Americans back then discussed theology the way people discuss Trump today. It was an everyday topic and everyone had an opinion.

>lynchings in the southern US,

Again, lynchings didn't happen on a whim: they were planned, prepared, and executed. The people who did this stuff were more than likely less empathic rather than more, and quite likely sadists as well.

None of these examples are about letting emotions cloud your judgement. Even the people who wanted war after 9/11 aren't that, if they had been explained things better, they wouldn't have wanted war; simple things like the nationality of the attackers.

>>
>>38687705
well i'd have to disagree on the last two, but regardless, the very fact that this can be argued means me answering the question definitively and with conviction is very hard.
>>
>>38687756
Figuring out how people feel isn't empathy though. Empathy is quite a gut feeling, where you yourself feel how others feel and instinctively know it. If you have to intellectually go about figuring out, consciously reading facial cues and such, it's not empathy at all, but compensatory actions for low, or lacking empathy.

it invites me to lie.
but basically it starts small, a little lie because i want to impress someone, some times i will catch myself and admit to the lie seconds after, acting like it was a mistake, other times I will just lie to cover up the first lie and then things spiral out of control, Just now i had to stop myself lying about an incident where that happend. Generally i want to impress and please people but it just ends up engendering resentment when the lies collapse, I'm so scared of the resentment which causes me to lie more to support those lies. I can't tell anyone IRL because then i will never be trusted, i'm actually a very trustworthy person, I tell the truth when it matters and i keep secrets but i just lie, constantly.
>>
>>38687762
I'd say I'm able to simulate what other people feel and experience to a certain degree. The way you're thinking now might be touching on how autism is when they try to understand what other people are experiencing.

In my case I'm very sensitive to pain and physical sensations, so I feel uncomfortable in the face of gore and physical pain.

I'm able to understand, but I don't have to "feel it" to understand it.

It's one of the contradictions of autism, where someone seems empathetic but cold at the same time. I'm very familiar with it. You're basically partially retarded as an autist

Suppose I see someone break their leg on video: the result is I feel actual, physical pain, but not the same as if I broke my own leg, but I feel something I'd call ghostly pain.

>>
>>38688156
impress people, win arguments, make people like me, make myself feel good, there are lots of reasons. The worst part is that I'm very good at it, my constructs get so complex that i begin to believe they are true on some level myself, this being so good means my lies don't get found out until they are very large, i work up the courage to tell the truth or reality just kinda bitch slaps me and makes my lies unsustainable.

since i was a kid, I can't remember a time when i didn't, I think it got worse during secondary school though. It's stopped me from developing friendships for people for fears of making them hate me or causing me to ghost close friends because they weren't friends with the real me but a character.

I'd say I'm more able to feel ghostly physical pain than emotional/ mental pain.

I had a teacher in primary who talked about how you could feel pain in your leg when hearing about someone else's leg pain. That made me aware. Maybe that type of awareness counters the autism detachment at a young age.

- do you use more lies when going out of your way to pursue a specific goal? (making an extra effort to be nice to someone, or welcoming, or trying your best to fit in somewhere you have to fit in, etc)
- are there any people in your life you use lies with a lot?

Just so you know, I'm getting pissed off, so listen here.

If you ask someone about what they fear, they may not actually tell you right away, especially if they really fear it and have a tendency to lie; so, instead, you ask what the purpose of lying is, as this is more directly obvious to them and less expensive to think about. (Later on, I would have naturally asked questions in the other directions, with an idea of what it might be.)

But thanks for fucking up the process.

no, kind of the opposite, i never lie to achive an end goal, it feels specifically wrong, probably because i'm considering the lie, i normally lie about mundane shit that really benifits me in little to no way
>- are there any people in your life you use lies with a lot?
not that i can think of, there are people that i keep parts of my real life hidden from but i don't feel like that's connected

100%, it's almost every time i talk to a stranger, it takes real effort not to (I'm straining like a mother fucker right now)

It wouldn't surprise me if the type of society we live in worsen autism experience/ thinking. Maybe I should add I grew up in a northern country where people are somewhat detached. I believe I have the capacity for more intimate emotional experience, but I distrust other people and keep them at a distance. I believe ignorance can have as bad consequence as maliciousness. Most people are either of those two

I knew two liars, ages ago. One showed me a picture of a porn star and was unlucky enough that I came across the same girl on /b/. She claimed it was her twin sister. I gave her the benefit of doubt but really didn't believe her, I just felt like she was distressed, not that she wanted to fool me, so I kept being nice to her and asking questions and taking her word.

Weeks later, she admitted that she was mentally ill and just lied.

The second one claimed to be a heroin addict and showed me pictures of "her", and it turned out to be a friend of hers. This also lasted weeks and she eventually came out with the lies, because I was a kind person and she couldn't bear to keep lying to me.

Oh, a lot of people on r9k feel hopelessly lost and alone and not in community with r9k. In addition there are people who will never know r9k at all

There are a lot of people on r9k who still feel alone and hopeless. There are people like you, winter coat. They don't have anyone to relate to. Except you. You are blinded by the majority, there are a minority who need people like yourself. And yeah, that might sound stupid or insane, but who would you need? Some people are in the minority. Some people have worthwhile input and experience. But being in the minority makes them feel worthless.

>a kind person and she couldn't bear to keep lying to me
this kills me, often it just makes that person, who you really like, hating you more for telling them the truth, which encourages me to lie more because telling the truth hurts people i like and care about or myself. I bet you essentially cut contact with the liars after they told you the truth no? or at least never saw them in the same light. Even mild acquaintances being destroyed by my lies feels horrible.

Only you feel it's patronising. My questions are literal, not rhetorical. It doesn't carry an opinion or judgement, which is surely what you read in them.

If I ask, "For what purpose do you lie?" it is a literal question intended to know why the person lies, not a comment or criticism.

I wonder what you'd bet. I didn't cut them off. I was even more interested and in the first case, I knew she was lying, or strongly assumed she was. I was willing to discus it with them, but they were not. Too ashamed.

I was non-judgemental, I understood it wasn't intended to hurt or use me.

Remind me to tell you about Mark.

>>38688980
Yeah. I got very close to someone under one of my personas once. I thought it was right to tell them the truth, but in the end, they could never trust me again. I never felt as broken as then.

It's called passive attention seeking behavior

It's when people are so desperate for validation they commit suicidal attempts or other self destructive behavioral (self harm).

They don't really want to die, but they need an authority figure to tell them they have worth.

The thing I'm talking about (dam I didn't want it to be this serious) is more prominent in suicidal thinking and destructive behavior. You know those people who are labeled chronically suicidal? Those. There are people who self harm and who do suicide attempts a lot. I'm talking about those, some of them have a basic need for validation and love, but even when validated in therapy it's not enough because their issues are deeper than that. They are the ones who continue to self harm, to keep trying to kill themselves, who hate themselves for needing validation. They feel a strong need to be loved, but hate themselves for it and often hide it behind self destructive behavior

Self-harm is very different from suicide attempts. Both are connected to BPD, but it remains to be seen that self-harm is done for attention, and it isn't the case for BPD, as it is done to alleviate emotional pain by getting physical pain instead. I am very experienced, sadly, in this sort of thing.

>I wonder if this obsessive lying is some kind of OCD
that would make a lot of sense, you reckon if i got a diagnosis of OCD via compulsive lying i could get on disability neetbuux? ;)

I'd need to get to know you more. If I get the go to ask you questions freely, then we have a deal.
>>
>>38689631
>because i didn't know how else to make friends?

Did you think that telling the truth about you would fail to make them your friend? (The truth isn't about telling them of your lies, to be clear.)
>>
>>38689680
>you know he was actually a mythical hunter or a hunting god or something like that?

Pretty sure he was a king in the Old Testament. The great-grandson of Noah.

God I fucking hate that. I want her back. I don't want to stay here with my legs crossed, I don't want to piss and moan, hoping that she will do something, but I have no fucking idea what to do. That just makes me feel helpless, weak.
>>
>>38689683
>I don't want to tell you about any details.

Surprise, surprise. You're not telling me because you don't actually have a clear idea of what such advice could be.

Also, if you were in earnest, you'd tell me just so I know what advice not to give.

TL;DR: you is full of poops.

>Regardless, you're here to give advice, shouldn't you be as careful as anyone else who does that kind of thing?

As I said before: I am careful. Now either illustrate your point with "dangerous advice" or keep your peace forever.

>The truth isn't about telling them of your lies, to be clear
yeh i get that now
>Did you think that telling the truth about you would fail to make them your friend?
I guess? like i said i'm a very boring person and very few people are interested in the things that i'm interested in (machining, engineering, building wacky shit) they think it's weird, so i lie, i pretend to be a normal person, I pretend that I have interests in common with them so they'll like me.

It sure sounds like it has a lot to do with control.
Do you ever delete and remake accounts on the internet?
>>
>>38689790
>Pretty sure he was a king in the Old Testament. The great-grandson of Noah.
that's it, here on wikipedia.
The Bible states that he was "a mighty hunter before the Lord [and] .... began to be mighty in the earth"

>>38689720
>What did people do before the internet when it came to things like that?

You wait and hope to know some day.

>be me
>be 10
>father buys video games magazine every month
>read article about Alone in the Dark
>special article about HP Lovecraft
>GOOD GOD, DESIRE TO KNOW MORE INTENSIFIES
>nowhere to ask
>no bookshop has any Lovecraft
>nobody to ask

It was only 15 years later that I could get my hands on a book by Lovecraft and finally read him

I understand the concept of self harm. But I've noticed a pattern of wanting/ needing validation that causes self harm as well. It's when a person longs for validation but is unable to admit it. So they go to self destructive behavior where others have to care about them. They feel "loved" or validated when committed. That's the closest thing to intimacy and care they know
>>
>>38689741

The cycle is:

>idealisation
>devaluation
>discard

>>38689830
You're wrong. I was fucking deluded to think you could fix me.
>>
>>38689745

No, but you'd get to work as a politician.
>>
>>38689758
>If I get the go to ask you questions freely, then we have a deal.

Then we have a deal. Ask me all your sweet questions. The more personal the better. I fucking love questions.
>>
>>38689850
>delete and remake accounts on the internet?
all the fucking time! it's good to talk with someone like myself, things i wouldn't even have thought about as to do with my lies and... Image manipulation? I think i find it very important that I am the one who is in control as to how others view me. that makes sense.

>>38689868
Don't you have libraries in Switzerland? I was never out of there growing up.

Speaking of old school video games, remember cheat books and guides? Just pages of codes for level select and 99 lives and all that shit. Of course now you just pay 10 bong and unlock everything. But then the kids don't even play games, they watch PewdiePie play them instead. I weep for this generation.
>I remember when it was all fields around here
>>
>>38689868
>nowhere to ask
surly your library would have had some of Lovecraft's novels?
>>
>>38689792

Text her: I love you and I want to be with you.

See what happens. Be strong. You will get better no matter what happens.

I've always wanted to go into politics, i fear it would end poorly though
"so mr senator, according to your confidential sources you've solved world hunger?"
"uhh yes of course I have"

Pro-tip: if people aren't interested in what interests you, they won't make good friends, so you're better off knowing early on. Be unafraid to spill spaghetti sometimes.

My only offline friend became my friend literally because he sperged out about Sim City 2000 road bends being very radical. A reference NOBODY understood except me, because I loved that game so much. So we talked and a long time later we became friends.

It's not about being fixed, it's about realising how you are broken.
>>
>>38689966
Honestly Anon, my emotions are really fucked right now. During the second month, they went even higher and I ended up being depressed, clingy, needy. I texted her a few times and it seemed pretty pathetic of me, at least to me.

I don't want to be in that sittuation again, I want to have learned something from this. I want to change.

>>38689853

I thought he built Babel, too, but I may be wrong.

That'd explain the name as an insult.
>>
>>38689966
I actually had to check your trip, because this is bad advice. When you bring in that needy stuff it's all over. Stick a fork in it.

>>38689792
Don't contact her whatsoever. Either she'll come to you, or she won't. Let the bird free, if it flies home it's yours. If it leaves it was never yours to begin with. She knows how you feel. Don't waste your breath. If anything, now's the time to make her insecure.
>>

>>38689741
This hits home hard, in a different sort of way. Your situation is making me feel feels.

Your situation has nothing to do with me, but I just hope you find some comfort knowing that someone relates, because I find comfort when I know that someone can relate to my state.
>>
>>38689907

You are mad because I am 100% on point.

And I can help you, but you will have to accept lowering your defenses, and, as hard as it may be, accept when I am on the money.

>curt response
>fucking
>dodging my challenge
>running away

Come back and try again.
>>
>>38689930
Yep. Really feels good to find someone who's been through the same shit I have.

My therapists in the past didn't know what to make of it. They wondered if I wanted to look good, if it was narcissism or OCD or even autism.

I managed to kinda patch myself up in the end. I got away from people who 'made' me lie the most and built an honest life for myself along the way. I still lie in some places but it's no longer a hindrance.

I wish you the best in getting to that point.
>>
>>38689994
>if people aren't interested in what interests you, they won't make good friends
I guess, but i've never met a soul who shared any interest of mine, i prefer to have some friends rather than no friends.
>>
>>38689902
S-Shit, this sounds like it but she doesn't seem narcissistic at all. Her emotions are absolutely fucked, so are mine, but she doesn't seem narcissistic by a bit. Man, it looked like she hates herself on some level.
>>

>Don't you have libraries in Switzerland? I was never out of there growing up.

I grew up in a village of 500 people. It had a bar, small school for 15 kids, a restaurant, and one street. There was no library.

How is dis still alive
Also good evening everyone, had a few beers, just got back home

haha i think that's what Nicks going through right now

I can only hope, I'm still young so hopefully i have time to turn myself around

I used to read guides to finish entire games I never played. My brother and I first liked literature through some based vidya articles that were funny as fuck.

Lovecraft was very niche back then, and keep in mind I didn't speak English at the time.

We're going to have to roll it over again very soon. Welcome back.

>>38690101
I can't imagine a place that small. What was it, a hunting village in the mountains?

>>38690128
I know just what you mean. The ones we had were funny too. I still have a soft spot for Rival Schools and Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub Zero, neither of which I played.
