I've had this vague, overwhelming dread about life recently. I really don't know how to describe it, the best I can do is that's it's a horror at how "big" existence is, not in a sense of "the world's a big place" but in the sense that a person's life is so infinitely and terribly detailed. It's too much to ever be able to comprehend.

Is Chomsky right about the ways the media and elite manipulate public perception and control the Overton window? I feel very uncomfortable and paranoid after reading some of his essays desu.

>feel happy
>day passes, still feel happy
>now paranoid at sudden lack of depressive thoughts and suicide ideation
something's not right here lads

If a girl asks me to tell her about myself, should I ask her about herself in response or wait for her to respond to me first?

Yes I'm this autistic.

I met someone and I'm unsure if they're a flat chested girl or a particularly effeminate guy. They have an asian name so no help there. I've yet to see them in any clothes that could reasonably gender them.
How to proceed?

It's strange how numb you get to the idea of killing yourself after having been depressed for a long time. To a healthy person even entertaining the idea is horrifying, but to me it's become routine.
Wake up in the morning and am still tired
>I should kill myself
Spill my coffee
>I should kill myself
Fail the captcha
>I should kill myself
Have a bad day in general
>I should kill myself
I probably think that I should kill myself at least once an hour. I can't even take it seriously anymore, it's become such a casual matter. I don't even flinch when someone on here tells my to off myself, it's as normal as saying "hi" or asking how I'm doing in my mind. I didn't even notice how different it was compared to other people until I joked about throwing myself off a bridge to a girl, she started fucking crying.

Can anyone relate? I've never heard anyone else describe this, it's always "suicide is really bad!" or "permanent solution to temporary problem!" or a similar meme.

>at the library browsing the Greek section
>the heterosexuality detector goes off

>this many posters over thirty
How do you do it? I'm in my early twenties and already feel like dying.

Thanks m8. I appreciate it. All of my fucking life I was sold all that Disney bullshit about love and the like, and I got into a really bad fucking place having delusions of love and then to just be thrown into the world and see how awful women are. I should've just read this book and have been completely redpilled on women and I'd be a hundred times happier now. Seriously, there's nothing more depressing than the reality of women and if I had read Schopenhauer before I'd have been prepared for it instead of defenseless against love. Thanks anon.

FUCK if I knew it was that cheap I would have got it myself. None of there other stuff is as good either.

f-fuck off desu

>classes begin and I still need to finish up my personal reading from over break

Just did my very last course registration ever, for next fall. I'm not prepared for a world outside of school.

It astounds me how many people on this board love the current economic system. Even if you support capitalism abstractly, how can you not be against the markets being dominated by a handful of multinationals, a work culture that reduces man to his employment, widespread nepotism and corruption, etc. This isn't a beautiful world where all markets are in perfect competition and all you need to succeed is to work hard. I cry for the people who have been convinced that this is the ideal, and that their exploitation is glorious and just. How can you unironically defend this?

> You, you're just a lazy neet!
I have a job and attend school, nice try.

Please respond to my question:

Is it unethical to write autobiographical fiction which goes into great detail about other people?

After failing with various writing attempts I am now halfway into a novel which is very easy to write, and an agent I submitted the first three chapters to (lying that I'd finished) said he'd like to express formal interest and see the rest, even accepting I hadn't quite finished.

Even so, I feel like I am setting myself up for humiliation because I am writing in great detail and honesty about my lack of social life, my family's breakdown, my lovelesness and so on. I mean some of it just absolutely cringeworthy, and there are few redeeming moments (e.g. meeting a girl, finding friends, discovering a sense of maturity, establishing a career etc). It's just one failure after another and I'm 26 now almost 27 so it's not as if it's a Bildungsroman. I started writing it as a writing exercise and found that writing truthfully about myself and experiences, failures etc seemed very natural. But I fear that I'm taking the easy route and basically admitting to everyone I'm a fucking creepy loser and that my book will barely be read even if it is somehow published and that it'll be from then on like a facebook profile filled with nude shots and embarrassing diary entries that I won't be able to defeat.

Please respond I am on the point of a fucking breakdown here.

If you want details I'll provide them.
