Yeah, I said that and immediately thought "he would never do something that passionate" so I added the heart attack line. I think the core of LF's despair is related to his arrogance. He thinks he knows what is right way to spend time and the superior way to live. He's always talking about how he regrets wasting time reading when he should have been doing "smart people stuff" or whatever he used to call it in the past (some /biz/ buzzword—bulldog?) like coding or whatever. I think London Frog loves to romanticize his despair by exacerbating to himself.

I've rationed lots of reasons, sometimes jumping between them but I believe that death should be really painful; dying is potentially the last thing you'll ever feel so it may as well be intense. A painful death also would serve as a sort of penance that might help to absolve your sins. If you buy into that kind of thing. The main genesis of the pains of my life relate to my pride and inability to sustain it. There are many things in which people can sustain a pride—an ego—like wealth, family, respect; I could join the army for example and kill a bunch of evil doers (evil only to me) and earn some medals or rank, or I could plant bombs in airports encapsulate evil, or I could try to become a monk and take pride in that. I can't unmonk myself with self doubt, I can't unkill people by insecurity, if I wish I can take pride in these specific acts. Or I could walk into the woods, cover myself in gasoline, and light myself on fire—and, while only for a moment, I could take pride in the resolve that would require and the anguish I was being put through. Although my ego would surely perish were I to fail at a task that much in my control. But self immolation is a means to endowing oneself in the pride of suffering. A man should only ever attempt suicide once.

We have like 2 other threads up right now about "what should I read if I don't have a big IQ?" Like fuck off with your pity party. I got tested at a psychiatrist multiple times in my life and my IQ was quite up there but I also have ADHD so it hardly helps. I literally almost starve to death because I can't spur myself to get food; I've sabotaged my life in its most critical moments and even relaxing with a book or TV show is difficult because I can't hold my concentration. I'm putting in effort to improve but it is painful to be so neurologically inept at basic functions. It's complete arrogance to assume there's something wrong with being average. Why do you assume you'd be any different smarter? You could still just be as lazy and friendless? What I'm trying to get at is at least you don't have an unfixable learning disability so enjoy what you can do. After I finish university I'm going to (assuming nothing convenient falls into my lap) flee my life because I don't think I can live so shamelessly, I know my parents pity me and even though I work as hard as I can daily my history with myself tells me I heading towards greater failure. There were so many plans made for me that I couldn't satisfy "Hey Anon why aren't you doing law anymore, your grandma wanted you to become a judge" "Anon, I spoke with that lawyer and he wanted to know if you're still going to work for them". I feel like if I stop for even a moment I'll be swallowed up by my regrets, I just have to keep charging into certain failure. They want all these things and I can't even send an email without procrastinating it for weeks. All this bullshit remedies like meditation and going on runs have done noting, I'm still a do-nothing failure and I have no excuses to tell myself. If I'm still the same man in 3 years I will walk into the woods, cover myself in gasoline and light myself on fire. At least that would take an impressive amount of resolve and I can die with some pride

Kill yourself. Imagine having such a lame life. If you want some of fire that burns our souls, practice self sabotage: procrastinate until your oppertunties leave; isolate until intimacy becomes frightening; hate yourself until you can't help but love the world for the cruelty it's bestowed upon; struggle with your anguish that compels you to die by inventing and adopting philosophies that allow to resolve your will and press forward.

I believe that death should be really painful. If I were to choose how I would die I would pick self immolation. A lot of people think this is a weird stance but dying is potentially the last thing you'll ever feel so it may as well be intense. A painful death also would serve as a sort of penance that might help to absolve your sins. If you buy into that kind of thing.

Suicide is only based if you make it as painful as possible. A painless death is just cowardly and lackluster

>not burning yourself to death like an actual chad
Yeah, cool, see you in hell I guess, if you buy into that of course

Seriously though, maybe it's just one retard but I've been seeing a lot of anti-anime sentiments on /lit/ recently.
