get a hobby

Paint a picture everyday. Keep them in a journal. You'll be surprised how good you'll get when it's full

>not becoming the void

Embrace it. Learn to appreciate things for what they are instead of what they're supposed to be. The secret is having the right mindset. THIS IS KEY.

>>9268648
such as?

>>9268641
Guys. Seriously I'm only 19 and yet I feel so empty.I thought video games could fill the void. Nope. I can't stand them for more them 20 minutes. Went to the gym. I got tired and gave up. Now fashion. Playing dress up was fun but now I'm getting bored. When I feel so tired and dull. I feel this pit in my heart. And I just dont know what to do. Whores I flirt with also left. They weren't even that pretty. I'm going off to college let's see if that helps. Wish me luck anons. Sorry for the rant

>>9269947
its all good bruv. rule 2: don't panic

>>9269947
>be 19 too
>tfw videogames don't fill the void anymore, feel guilty when I start a game up
>buy things like cp's and expensive pants
>no friends, don't go out or have gf

>tfw just want a hobby I can do outside and isn't vidya

>>9269947
>>9269998
>tfw I can't find anybody like you guys to talk with irl to relate with

being /fa/ doesn't fill my void but talking to /fa/ almost does

where you at? miami fl here

>>9270037
SYDNEY AUSTRALIA

i visited miami once for Wrestlemania a couple years back and it was the hypest moment of my life tbh brought me back to me childhood

>>9269998

friendly reminder that ownership of guns positively correlates with suicide risk

>>9270044
and to clarify I was visiting a couple states around america not going specifically for wrestlemania

>>9269947

Video games didn't fill the void for me from 19 to 22, but I just got a PS3 a few weeks ago and have been really invested in GTAV, MGS4 and about to start Red Dead.

I think we all go through phases. I was pretty inactive on /fa/ for a good part of the year because I was too busy with school and drugs.

But now that I'm working and not doing drugs every night I find I eventually find solace in the things I used to do like /fa/ and video games.


The problem here is you probably don't know what direction in life you wanna take.

I don't either still, but at least I have my feet on the ground.

You're going away for college which means you're going to be changing everything about the way you live pretty much save a few things.

Hopefully you'll understand that the happiness you seek won't come from going to college, but from within you.

>>9270051
I'm pretty sure I'm depressed and yes, I've had thoughts of killing myself but I'd never do it. And if I ever did, it wouldn't be with a gun, I would much rather set myself on fire before I put one in my head

>>9269899
skateboard, make cloths, draw, do art

>>9269998
skateboard, make clothes do art

>>9270023
I was thinking the same thing . But then I was told because I'm mental un stable. Which is true to some extent that I shouldn't own one.
Side story
>be with mom
>mom looks at phone
>"anon what are you doing?"
>show her the vintage Parka I'm checking out
>"anon stop it!"
>"why can't you be like the other kids"
>"Your just like that man who shot those state troopers"
>lol she's comparing me to Eric Frein

Sad part is she's truly worried

>>9270089
>ask mom if she would be okay with me buying a gun
>why? so you can shoot yourself with it?
and that's why I choose not to tell her about them, completely unwarranted and uncalled for

>>9269899
>>9269947
You considered something musical?

It seems like people with nothing find the most out of music. It's hard work to develop talent but it's extremely rewarding and can even lead to career opportunities, obviously.

You could try picking up a guitar or even trying something electronic. Maybe pirate a program or download one of the free ones.

>>9270060
Its hard to describ but I haven't felt alive in a while. I work a shiity retail job. That kept me active but then I went back to emptiness. I feel college will be the same. I will be alive for a moment then go back to being dead. I would take drugs but I saw what it did to my cousin last week. It made a grown man crumble crawl into the corner of the closet begging for help. ( several drugs at once then acohol) I'm surprised he didn't die.
I just don't fucken get it.

>>9270067

ay up, just checkin. Mind you have em locked up when you hit the bottle!

>>9270100
tru

I gave drums a try for a period but my parents would always complain

>>9270122
I don't drink

>>9270134

even better

>>9270100
I have a guitar. I was thinking bout buying this book and DVD combo for learning how to play it. But the thin walls in the apartment building I know I'm gonna be in trouble. I just might. I was thinking bout it yesterday. I get paid tomorrow so maybe.
>>9270098
Yeah I stop telling her bout the things I do. Its just better off if she doesn't know. I feel the only person with some insight in my family is my brother. The living embodiment of chad. If you have a person like that. Just inform them instead.

The void is all too real.

>>9269947
try religion. A lot of people give it a bad name but it can be incredibly fulfilling for others, myself included

>>9270153
>I feel the only person with some insight in my family is my brother. The living embodiment of chad.
oh god, are you me? My brother isn't really a chaddaddy but he's definately more assertive than me
>is in a fraternity
>gets really good grades in school
>healthy, works out, weights 220 pounds with very low bodyfat
>pretty sure he gets bitches
>expressed interest in shooting guns
and I'm hesitant to tell him about my guns but damnit, I want to take him out to the shooting range

>>9270060

Heh. So you really are this pathetic.

>>9270194
>>9270153
Same situation with the big bro, do we all suffer from some sort of little brother syndrome? Growing up i'd only compare myself to him but somehow I missed out on the confidence and motivation part once I started becoming an actual individual

>>9270194
Just do it. You really have nothing to lose.
Goodnight anons thanks for the talk

>>9269947
are you dorming?

probably a stupid place to ask but how can i start getting out of the house more?

i dont even have a problem talking to people or being social but i dont have a regular set of friends anymore

>>9268641
Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.

>>9270306
yep same problem, drinking isn't my forte so that's out of the equation

do people go out to clubs alone? i feel like it's pretty dangerous to and kinda creepy as well unless you're a foreigner

>>9269947
You're basically me.
I studied advanced math, learned three instruments, made a bunch of software, got fit, started watching anime, became Christian, started landscaping, and bought guns.
Now I'm here trying to fill the same hole with fashion.

"But take heed to yourselves and be on your guard, lest your hearts be overburdened and depressed with the giddiness and headache and nausea of self-indulgence, drunkenness, and worldly worries and cares pertaining to this life, and lest that day come upon you suddenly like a snare."

>>9270314
i cant imagine myself going to a club alone and not freaking out with self consciousness

18 y/o with a babyface

>>9270350
19 y/o with acne and in the middle of growing out my hair

also i get asian flush lol

>>9270358
what are people our age supposed to do to get out of the house if we dont have an established group of friends?

partying/clubbing i guess?

>>9270363
idk man the past 5 days ive been stuck on the computer playing games with my online friends not even from my country

i mean i still talk to my friends irl but they have their own groups and interests that I don't really mesh well with

is this a modern day phenomenon?

>>9268641
You guys have described my life perfectly. I have friends but don't relate to them at all. I pretend to like the same stuff as them but in reality some of them really annoy me. Due to this i spend most of my time alone but i cant find a hobby and it makes me feel like shit as i am doing nothing with my life.

>>9270373
same. i have a decent amount of friends in real life ( a couple that i play computer games with ) but only a few that i really really enjoy spending time with.

like i said before i honestly dont have a problem being social/meeting new people at all. i don't get nervous in social situations much but i just dont have many opportunities to leave the house

>>9270209

Yes? Since when did I say I wasn't?


Also pot calling the kettle black and all that....

19 yo here

Started to volunteer at an animal shelter couple of months ago and that's pretty much the only opportunity to leave the house and meet new people. I don't enjoy drinking either so going to clubs and shit is not an option.

Skate every now and then but I can't help but notice that most of them dress like shit and they all seem to have different interests than me outside of skating

And yeah, vidya is shit now

>>9270306

Get a job, make friends at said job.

Go to the local community college and sign up for clubs.

Go to local music venues for small shows and chat up people there. At least you have one thing in common!


Go to community out reach things like habitat for humanity.

>>9270424
the job one is a really good idea

two of my old friends got a job together and spend 100% of their free time with their work friends

>>9270410

I was just about to bring this up!!


Yes definitely volunteer at the local animal shelter. It's good for the animals and community PLUS chicks dig it.

Do any of you guys want to be friends?

I'm not even joking

>>9270433
yes i do

we can complain about life together

Went to high school with her and now she's a model. What do I win?

>>9270625
unless u fucked her then nothing

>>9270635
I may have had a conversation or two with her.

>>9269947
join a fraternity.

say what you will about what you think you know about them, but the truth is you get a solid group of like minded friends you keep for life, and with membership comes opportunities for leadership and advancement.

>>9270637
You win your favorite drink

>>9270637
Oh, and one time she tried to get me to join a club and gave me a sticker.

>>9270647
>you get a solid group of like minded friends
unless you aren't like minded as they are to begin with that is.

>>9270181
*tips bible*

>>9270659
damn im jelly brah

>>9270647
>frats
Lmao no. You'll end up dressing in pastels and boat shoes. Join a club instead so you can meet people who share the same interests as you, rather than conforming to whatever your frat bros tell you to like.

>>9270691
>>9270664
confirmed for not knowing anything about fraternities other than what little they can gather through observation.

maybe its because I don't go to a southern school, but fraternities are anything but what most people make them out to be. there are of course some mostly comprised of assholes, but you could also just not rush there. The majority are pretty cool and no one forces you to conform in any way, you got the bid to join so you are fine the way you are.

Ultimately everyone joins a fraternity for the brotherhood, so people are focused on being forward and amicable more than anything. Brothers are brothers, even without knowing you your whole life people treat you like they do.

Of course >>9269947 you can not take my advice and forever have your preconceived notions about fraternities from people on an okinawan manga network, but whatever. clubs are cool and I would recommend joining them and you might make some friends, but the spanish club or the robotics club or the ski club (which I am a member) will never have the same connectivity as a fraternity simply because they aren't set up that way. Don't think you need a common interest like sports or movies to make friends either, some of my best friends are people I met through friends of a friend and share few interests with me.

Even if you would never consider a fraternity, you are doing yourself a disservice by not attending a few rush events and speaking to members, if only to widen your perspective on things. You are about to enter college which many consider the most formative time of their lives, you should be taking every opportunity and chance no matter how outlandish or inconceivable.

pat if ur readin this ur a fgt

>buy flash, a drawing tablet, and the animator's survival kit
>buy longboard parts and build one
>buy a book about c#
I barely even draw, I went out longboarding a couple times this past summer and never went again, and I haven't looked at the book. The only hobby I actually got into was snowboarding, and I can only go ut about 8 times during the winter. I'm interested in making electronic music, but I'm hesitant because I've already wasted money on these other hobbies that I don't even do.

>>9270765
Frats have a bad rep because of a stupid minority and rich kids being cunts.
And let's not forget SJWs looove to rip on them.

>>9270796
hi im a pat why r u here

shit man same here, got a pimped out crochet kit and don't even (know how to) do shit with it fml

i just spent over $2000 on clothes and shoes and i still don't feel satisfied.

>>9269899
reading. super effay, it expands your knowledge, cheap af (you can download ebooks and read on your phone or computer, or go to a library), and there are no shortage of good books in the world.

>>9270060
>Hopefully you'll understand that the happiness you seek won't come from going to college, but from within you.
Damn this is actually really true. Like some people might think dressing better or getting a girlfriend or whatever will suddenly turn their life around. It might give you some temporary satisfaction, but it won't have the same effect as just being 100% content with where you stand and what you're doing in life.

>>9270670
me too
