Now for the advice. The mannerism and invective you display are hallmarks of the downtrodden and the outcast. You are among fellows. We have been there. Human life is plagued by despair, in three basic forms.

-The despair of not being oneself. This is you, most likely. Wounded by the stark fact of who you are. Not stronger, not faster, not smarter, not beautiful, cool, nor funny.
-The despair of being oneself and wishing one were not. This is the bodybuilder who just wants a slice of cake. The philosopher who wants to forget everything he has learned.
-The despair of not knowing one is in despair. One is either lacking or wishes one had less. Believing yourself perfect in ignorance leads to a classically California style of ennui.

To counter your despair, you must become yourself. This is not the person you see in the mirror. This is the person you're supposed to be. Stronger, faster, better read, understood. You must work out. Run, everyday. At least 5 miles. You need to lift. Lift until you look like someone. Until you look like a human being. Too much music and couch time make one soft and effeminate. The greatest philosophers and men were as strong in body as in mind.

Stop escaping. Anime is an escape. Stop gaming. Life should not need to be escaped. You should change the nature of your life such that you have no inclination to escape it. This will make you strong. This will make you wise. All good things will follow from a state of being, yourself, good.

Then again, this could all have been a troll. It certainly feels like one.
