You aren't actually in love with her. You know nothing about her. You are just in love with your image of her, in which you fill in the unknown blanks in what you know about her, which is virtually nothing, with an idealized character. If you really had to spend time around her, you would almost surely find she starts to grate on you incredibly.

This is how all love in the real world works though, except instead of having blanks in what they know, people ignore what they do know.

Same here. Living for me is almost I'm possible. I can never do anything right and everyone hates me for no reason so I have no connections to anyone. I could just walk into a room full of people and all of a sudden they all have this terrible attitude towards me like I just murdered their family or something. I'm on my final year of high school and whether I pass or not I'm out. I just need a full time job that can at least allow me a little extra stuff besides enough money for fast internet, the cheapest car possible, and lots of food for the weekends because that is almost the only time I eat much. I fear for my future because I don't see a future. I once had a lucid dream where I even tried to kill myself after hearing my own voice say " It's all falling away now.". I jumped in front of train. So I spend every year I get living like there is no next year. My life has always felt like a failed science experiment ever since I was as young as 4 years old. In the back of my mind I always felt something was about to go really wrong. I was always afraid to advance anywhere in my life because I knew there was never anything in it for me, only pain. Throughout my whole even though I changed a lot I have always felt so empty and helpless. Everything is a dead end road in my life. Nothing can bring me much pleasure anymore. pleasuring myself sexually is getting boring, music is getting worse, and getting high on anything isn't very satisfying anymore. I'm only 18 and I feel like an old man who is dying on hospital bed and trying to make the best of what he has left.

For me, it's opposite. When I attended school and had to be among people all the time, I really despised them. But as a NEET, when I can keep them at a distance, I don't really think they're so bad anymore. Lately I've even begun asserting my inferiority to normal people. After all, when I don't get along with most of the human population, it's most reasonable to assume it's my fault, rather than the fault of all of them. When seen this way, it would also appear like my hate for others was a way to suppress my feeling of inferiority, since at the time, it seemed more comfortable to suggest that everyone else sucked, rather than me having a problem. But it feels much more comfortable this way, because I don't feel like I have to strive to be better than them in any way anymore. Getting rid of such pressures makes NEET life much more comfortable. You guys should try it too.

In my experiance this is like saying "All food that isn't Hershey's chocolate tastes so bitter to me I have to spit it out. Therefore I have no trouble eating nothing at all because I know I won't enjoy eating it."

I'm sick of this fallacy that everything on the internet is trivial and jovial and worthless and nothing but a game.

Especially when it's arguing. It's not "you're arguing" but "you're arguing - ON THE INTERNET!". It's not "he's wrong" but "he's wrong - ON THE INTERNET!". Why does the fact that it's on the internet make it any less valid. Would you say "you're arguing - ON THE TELEPHONE!" or "you're arguing - VIA LETTERS!" to imply the same level of retardation? No.

The internet is the greatest communications invention of all time, and doesn't need you to voice your illogical issues with its seriousness. In the first place, arguing on the internet is far more effective than doing it in real life, where a strong voice is more likely to herald the victor than any number of strong points.

Well, as I said in my original post, what frustrates me is a rampant lack of understanding, hindering social interaction. On the subject of "Inferiority", I would deem a lack of understanding as to that of an inferior being, not that of a being who possessed a superior understanding to another. I speak in broad and general terms, of course - this has no particular bearing on precise examples. Socially speaking, I am inferior, as I am abnormal. It is a rare thing for a learned man to enter into any workplace that is not of a high skill requirement - scientific fields, for example, would likely suit me, were I to be adequately qualified in such areas. Against the majority of this world, I am the black sheep, despite, by many measures, being superior. We can all see the issue and sub-issues presented here, I'm sure.. I hope, rather.

Yeah, pretty sure I haven't spoken a word in real life for a week or so now. If you exclude a few minutes on the phone to a few of my family members, my last meaningful human contact was giving a short seminar on a topic of my choice to a group of assorted students, mostly fellow 4th years, which was over 2 weeks ago now.
So yeah, unless arguing at people on the internet counts as socializing, your statement is ridiculous nonsense.
Just because you are an infant who has been brought up unable to cope without constant attention, like most of the modern generation, doesn't mean that the whole world is, nor that this constant need to be seen and heard by others is "normal" nor "healthy".
I'd hazard a guess that from the way you think socialization is essential that you are from the 90s generation? (Or the 00s generation, but I imagine they are unlikely to have found 4chan in any significant numbers yet, and shudder at the thought of them reaching /jp/)

And even if I had godlike mastery of something specific, it wouldn't keep me from being unproductive and a lousy person, which I think is far worse than not being intelligent enough.

By this standard, nothing matters. Short of becoming immortal, which I am sad to say appears impossible given what we know of the universe (Besides the obvious energy and heat death, further hammers come from that even if we did manage to extract some mysterious free energy source, the universe has positive curvature and thus is finite, and is eventually destined to a big crunch.

Yes. Even if you post anonymously. It's still conversing with other human beings. You yield your attention to their words, and then they yield their attention to yours as you respond. That's human communication. It's fundamentally the same, regardless of medium. I know you hate "attentionwhores" like the normalfags, and everyone wants to find some way to set themselves apart from the herd, but this is reality. Just by coming here you're still engaging in basic human interaction, sorry.

Actually, that's changing, recently. It used to be that you could prattle on and agree to anything, as long as it was outside of being recorded on camera. Now, everything is recorded, so they have to prattle on about meaningless, completely indecisive things. They don't even have the option of agreeing with something or taking a position on it. All they can do is find 35 ways of saying "That is a genuine problem worthy of concern.", so as to fill their interview time.

>Attention as an anonymous poster. Right.
Anonymous posts are identified as the posts themselves, and the post that you knew you wrote got attention. Everyone knows that you didn't seek attention for yourself as a person, but since your thoughts were acknowledged the effect is basically the same.

You shouldn't take all the definitions of the word 'attention' to mean whoring for it.

It's a silly way of him to put it, but I think the interaction we get from the internet is important to us, even if it doesn't seem like much. I, too, don't like interacting with people in real life, but if I imagine myself shutting myself in completely and disabling my internet connection, it seems unbearably lonely. I think I'd get weird in the head if I went for a long time without seeing any kind of proof that other people were still alive in this world. Surely I can't be the only one here who feels this way?

Your response is far too broad. It is the mere consideration of human qualities; the 'quantitative measure of the thought applied to such areas' that begins to cause a divide between individuals. In reality, this divide can be most easily pointed out by referring, crudely, to the two different sides as minds that are "turned on" and minds that are "turned off". The moment one begins to observe things from a "turned on" perspective, the divide between themselves and those "turned off" shall only ever increase. This is (from this - an analytical description) the difference between the introvert and the extrovert.

God, you sure are clueless.

Turn the trip off if you want to be treated without bias.

Being a trip is like standing up in a room full of people sitting down. We're all cool with sitting and chilling, and even cool with some people standing up, unless the guy standing starts going saying "Look guys I'm standing, you guys could never understand what it feels like to talk while standing so I do it" After this occurs, unless you have something to contribute that needs your tag to verify it's you (aka actually make some OC or something else besides idle chatter), people are going to ask you to sit down because you're being impolite and whiny.
