>>16274026
You need to be able to see the future. Right now you try to look forward and you see nothing, like fruit withering on the vine. Read books about full, complete lives, about loss and regret, and happiness too. Read Heller's Something Happened or The Book of Ebenezer Le Page or Stones of Summer. Think about those characters, why they are the way they are, how they came to be that way, and consider whether you are following similar trajectories. Hell, I sympathized enormously with Coover's depiction of Dick Nixon in the Public Burning, endless ephemeral epiphanies that seem to mean something but really don't, the feeling of being alone in the crowd, a perpetual victim complex, and the propensity for making connections and using big ideas to intellectualize your problems away. He gets raped by the deified persona of Uncle Sam at the end, so maybe that ought to tell you something. It certainly tells me something.

At 25 you have reached an inflection point in your life. You're more than a quarter's way to the end. I do not sanction excessive introspection, as that often justifies self-serving inaction and inflates the ego. There is truth in fiction that goes beyond facts. Get to it or you'll be asking the same questions in a decade.

>>16274974
horoscopes are different because you can't pick which one you are

>>16274026
can you go back to posting the schizoid ones this one feels too generic

>>16274246
Should I read it? I want to be mysterious and cool, and I’m autistic enough to larp.

>>16274320

>>16274026
You don't need to read anything. The only reason you are lonely is because you don't want other people enough. Solution: deepen your loneliness to make you crave other people more. This will increase the strength of the drive, and thereby allow you to overcome more of the fears standing in your way, giving you a greater advantage and satisfaction than you would have otherwise.

>>16275565
This increasing of the strength of the drive also allows an acceleration in the developing of your mind as a tool to satisfy these extroverted goals, since you are willing to experiment more, and thereby willing to edit and isolate negative and positive factors faster due to your increased emotional flexibility.

YOUR diary desu. Keep a journal, read i back to yourself and learn what in you is so fundamentally broken.

>>16275581
This creates an expanding spiral starting from nothing, where the acceleration of the development is proportional to the growth of each ring. Every iteration is a process of experimentation, isolation, and editing which leads into the next. This spiraling creates a hyperbolic explosion of skill.

>>16274600
same here but 35, never gets better

>>16274026
>Never gets messaged first, still tries to reach out occasionally but always ends up left on read
Okay.... that one hurt... :'(

>>16274026
If you showed me this a couple of years ago, I could totally relate. But now it's definitely unrelatable right now(23 yo atm).

OP, your problem stems from your guilt of leaving an unfulfilled life. The guilt causes fear and other related insecurities to take action. You fear opening up to people and being honest with the world and with what's really in your mind. You feel guilty for just being yourself basically. Along with this, there's probably a lot of resentment towards people who did you wrong, be it your parents, the school system, your country, women, bullies, friends, etc

I say this because I went through the same thing written above. The only thing that really helped me was getting into Zen meditation and understanding the mechanics of the mind. The reason for your issues is that your ego and the thoughts associated with it, places too much empahsis on just thinking about how bad your life is, such that there's no space for objective thought and an alternative solution. True understanding resides where there is no thinking, which gives open space for creative solutions for your life engineered by yourself and not spoonfed to you by some book.

The reason one practices meditation is not to achieve some useless "woke-guru" like mentality to impress people or whatever, but actually to dissolve the ego such that one is able to think more clearly. The issue with Western philosophy and Fiction books in regards to ailing the anxieties and problems to life is that it's far too cerebral in nature. Although they may be quite interesting, all it really does is entertain you with ideas which you, unfortunately, forget after sometime, especially when you're in the midst of your daily existential mental breakdowns. The mind is not your friend, you must work in getting control over it through practice. Exercising is also a form of meditation and so is your job/work, when done selflessly. You'll soon see that all pleasurable things are actually a form of meditation in itself. Seek to understand this aspect, it'll take a lot of work, however, you'll be liberated from comparing yourself to your past and others, and find a unique solution for your problems by yourself.

Check out "The Way of Zen" by Alan Watts, "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind" by Shunryū Suzuki. Read these books slowly, don't rush. Good luck OP! Life is long, it's not over for anybody unless they believe it is.

>>16275717
Also, sites like 4chan which have community members, have an unofficial ideology that runs through the entire site which gives it an identity.

When you come here seeking for solutions or presenting alternative points of view, you will be bombarded by groupthink of some kind. You cannot escape it. Understand that when you come here to get some relief from your loneliness, you are also being programmed to become one like the herd here in order to fit in and feel a sense of community.

You basically sacrifice characteristics of yourself to become someone else to fit in here, otherwise nobody is going to like your ideas and bump up your thread.

It is false. It is not you. There's nothing wrong with being lonely, you were born alone are going to die alone eventually. Seek to understand your loneliness and ego.

Basically in this guy's situation but am becoming fat so I guess no longer handsome. Have a good 7-8 / 10 face when lean though. My issue is being thrust into entirely miserable social circumstances (father was a mentally ill bum) and basically having no social capital / connections to build a life off of. My father would literally chase off friends when I was a kid, threatening them, he was also an abuse alcoholic. Showed up drunk to my school once and made me into a laughing stock. It's gg at that point. I could of pulled myself out of it, but I didn't. Living life with 0 friends and 0 contacts is extremely difficult and I'm not sure how many anons really understand how difficult it is to build relationships totally from scratch as an adult. You meet people through other people, with occasional exceptions through work and and school. Additionally, you need to be lucky enough for somebody to look past whatever redflags might be apparent if they realize how void your social life really is, lack of social media, lack of deep stories to tell, it all sends cues that you're an untouchable. We live in a low trust society and spontaneously going out and meeting people is not socially apropos in most contexts

>>16274026
Stop reading

>>16274886
>This is accurate.
Should I just kill myself?

>>16276063
Can't you just find people with similar interests and ask if they want to be friends?

>>16274886
Sounds like your average poster on 4chan

>>16274026

Mild schizoid, may have other problems like being born into low status or critical problems during certain developmental or social sorting periods (e.g. adolescent loneliness or college admissions). This guy's situation is ultimately salvageable

>>16274886

This guy has severe dissociation / aspergers, might qualify as severe schizoid too depending on your perspective. This guy is fucked, maybe he will luck out and experience some extraordinary conversion experience and get his life together

>>16276077
You my friend, need to be more human
More human!
more human

>>16276147
I'm perfectly human and I've made a serious effort to be normal and I can talk to people easily. I just share no interests with normies at all. It feels like there's some barrier between me and others that just makes it not worthwhile. I feel like I'm looking for a very specific person or type of people and they're looking for me but I have no idea where to look. This loneliness is unbearable and it makes me seriously consider if life is worth it. Or anyways that's my blog post.

>>16276093
This. Whatever archetype we all are is fundamentally unhealthy.

You realize you are just thinking in jewish memes? I'd love to see psychology used as an actual science instead of meaningless labeling.

>>16274026
If you are actually handsome you won't struggle to get a girlfriend. Literally just be blunt, you dont need to be suave or anything because good looks give you a lot of leeway you wouldn't have otherwise.
Getting girls to go out with you is way easier than retards think.

>>16276250
Dumb shit like 4chan, Human psychology, horror, history, esotericism, politics, video games, the paranormal, youtube, learning about music. I know that sounds like really general shit but for the life of me it seems like no off the internet cares about any of this. It's just sports, sex, work, TV, and social media.

>>16274075
Yeah but they’re not the most popular friend, and not handsome enough for women to approach them in the streets :( such a tragic life!

>>16274108
yeah i always think it's funny how in a ton of these posts there will be some reference to how they're actually attractive or have a big penis

>>16276495
I don't wanna minimize what you're feeling or anything, but a lot of people have similar interests to you. You might just be bad at bringing them up yourself or drawing them out of people. Which is fine! Small talk doesn't usually have a lot o talk about personal interests.

Just talk about your interests with people. Even if you don't know if they like that stuff too. I let my friends tell me about fuckin website coding or obscure music shit that I don't know anything about. I think most normal/mildly well rounded people have the capacity for second hand excitement/interest. It's nice to ask people questions about things they like.

Anyway, you sound pretty cool based on your interests. I think you can find people who share those at least eventually. It suck that now is a rally bad time to meet new people cos you can't go hang out somewhere that you might meet those who share your interests.

The rational male trilogy

Anyone here who really thinks that these dumb memes are describing you to a T....hear me out for a sec

#1, stop feeling sorry for yourself and wallowing in a puddle of shit.
#2, realize that practically everyone you know has the same negative thoughts about themselves. Are you sad that you don't have a gf, or that you think your friends aren't as close to you as they should be? Well, I guarantee your friend with a hottie gf is not as happy as he tries to pretend that he is. They probably have nasty fights when you're not around, and they just put on a show in front of you to seem really happy together. Don't forget, our generation has been raised on reality TV and social media. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, is all about keeping up appearances.
#3, do what another anon has suggested. Do 15 minutes of meditation twice daily, realize that your thoughts are just thoughts and nothing more, some meditation gurus refer to it as "monkey chatter." Realize that the negative shit is totally natural and to be disregarded. Focus on improving yourself, treating your loved ones and friends well, and doing things you love. Not vidya and drugs and other useless shit, do productive stuff. Exercise regularly, the body and mind are inextricably linked. These are things I'm sure you've heard many times before, but actually do them this time. If you sleep good, exercise regularly, and eat cleanly, your confidence and positivity will steadily rise.
#4, at this point, ideally you can begin to self-actualize. Read philosophy, think deeply, figure out what you want from your life and pursue it. Be a moral person, have ideals to aim for, and slowly, you will see that the people around you will be amazed at how much you've changed for the better. And just keep it up, frens. You can absolutely do it. This is one scenario where it's good to be a bit autistic: draw out very concrete plans and schedules and stick to them. Focus on doing each little thing well, and before you know it, you will be an admirable human being, even without a gf and whatever else you're imagining is needed to be happy. Realize that you are living your one life pursuing your goals and dreams, and hopefully those around you will be uplifted in the process, or you may even meet new people. This is what it's really all about. Positivity and productivity. Politics and drugs/vidya/mindless consumption contain no positivity or productivity at all in them, and so you can discard them. That stuff is for people who are mentally like children who wanna shove half their Halloween candy haul down their throats every day for the rest of their lives. That stuff never leads to lasting satisfaction. But when you can look around yourself and see that you are surrounded by people who are likewise motivated and moving towards their goals, and you see yourself doing the same, feeling and looking as well as you've ever felt, grateful for being alive and wanting to make the most of it, you're doing it right.

You're doing this wrong, mate.

>>16276249

There is a type of person who compulsively daydreams and feels detached, or who does not feel sufficiently emotionally involved in the reality of his own life to engage in it successfully. This can be a result of an antipathy towards their own life, or a callousness to social expectations, or I suppose there is a variety of causes. But a person's inability to fully engage in practical real life matters and have a personality and sense of self that is tied to their circumstances is the common thread here. Society is meant to mold you into a certain type of person and integrate you into some kind of role within it. Unless you're astonishingly intelligent or lucky, you're not left with any option but to conforms, besides obscurity and death

>>16276637

How will any of this allow you to acquire status, money, and that devilish glib superficial charm needed to ruthlessly compete against normies?

When did this board become so full of normies. Why don't you guys seriously just go out and stop using this website?
I'm not saying this because I hate vapid people like you (which I do), or because I think it would make the board better (which it would).
But if there is someone who could literally just go outside and stop overthinking shit and just live a fucking normal life is a normie like OP describes.
Stop being fucking idiots. It doesn't get any better moving forward if you waste your time here. Stop having unrealistic expectations for dating, go out a couple times with some girls even if they're not your first rate dream.
You might be surprised how much you like them, or how much confidence this gives you when you finally decide to ask out the girl you actually wanted (and then you realize she is not like in your fantasies and is just as insecure, if not more, than the unatractive ones).

If you're not chronically ill with some debilitating disease or something drastic like this, you have absolutely no fucking excuse besides being a fucking moron. If you legitimately OP's image and you use this imageboard I can't begin to understand how stupid you are. This place was not created by or for people like you. This place won't do anything for you. Just fucking live an actual life you fucking normie pieces of shit.

my friend is 186cm tall and looks like a literal model in the most generic way possible, super thick brown hair and a perfect face. He is still a virgin and has never had a single girlfriend or anything even remotely close to it. Pic pretty related, looks very close to him

He just literally doesnt interact with women. He is definitely straight, just doesnt do anything about it. He doesnt meet them on accident or on purpose, just sits home and does things in his room or hangs out with me

I think you are the only normalfag here.

It's so unfair that women will never be able to experience what loneliness really is, even tho they are the ones who most victimize themselves over it. Imagine how easy life would be as a girl. Just fuck some dudes and get what you want.

>>16275717

This describes me. Raised on the internet, bachelor in philosophy, never had a job or gf or friends. At 22 started dish washing and through luck and I’m guessing intelligence, I climbed up some stairs. Ten years later living in a great city I never thought I would, living in cozy apartment with cute marketing gf, may be going for beers Friday with a guy friend I’ve had for about two years.
The guy relationship is still weird. I had a fucked up childhood and I treated childhood friends too friendly and they left me. I have a problem with boundaries and respect and am a bit traumatized. Dad in and out of life with no guidance. I’m 30 something and just a couple days ago I determined to learn to shake people’s hand and try to speak with more confidence.
I’m the autist that looks away, slurs words, and sometimes does shit that pisses you off and you bite your tongue because you know I’m retarded. Sorry.
What these anons say is true but at the same time getting out of it doesn’t leave you with much resource. You always feel like walking on eggshells and being authentic. I may not realize how crazy I am but I can’t explain to people how I maneuver through life but I seem to be doing good. Everyone around me thinks I’m crazy or a little off. I recently came back to 4chan because I feel so lonely.
Just posted to say that it may get better but it’s always a struggle. It’s learning to deal with the struggle.
1. Always exercise. Lift, run, bike, swim, play sports. at least 30 minutes two times a week
2. Appreciate nature, walk through parks
3. Learn how to extrapolate important lessons from books, music, film
4. Don’t be creepy, don’t hold grudges, don’t seek revenge but feel comfortable being ridiculed and thought of as an idiot. You can’t control society around you. They’ll react negatively to you if you counter them. Yes, there is controlled opposition and they’re annoying. Ignore them too. Whenever you have an opportunity to be cordial or nice, try your sincerest.
5. Never expect anything in return unless it’s been explicitly agreed upon by both parties and both parties have confirmed each other’s agreement.

It's not about sex, but about having chances. Any girl will have the chance of getting a man her league by opening her legs. Men, on the other hand, will have to cope with being alone or getting a girl a lot under his league just because average girls are entitled for more.

>>16276958
False as fuck. I've met some girls who could fit the description of a female incel, and all of them had boyfriends - or at least a couple of guys drooling after them.

>>16277194
Getting a man to love you and getting a man to fill you with his cum are on entirely different levels. One is easy, yes. The other is not.

>>16277209
Yeah, girls cope differently. But as you probably know, one can be surrounded by many people and still feel completely alone and unloved. Feeling desired by some pathetic worms isn‘t going to cut trough that.

Not him but trust me anon, doing exercise will allow you to get beyond so much pointlessness like "le depression" or feeling sick or sluggish-- You also just generally feel better and healthier, with more energy and will to go out in the world, socialise, and to exercise more.

I also found my concentration improved.

No one is a inherently a slave to society anon; you become a slave when you accept the role. I for one resisted all its influence and turned out better for it. I don't see anything pathological in what you described. If anything, your schizoid lives an honorable life, perhaps too honorable for our world. I stand by my initial proposition that you are only thinking in jewish memes.

Some people perceive it as a profoundly sick society. They feel that the entire West is going down and will be hostile to Western culture and European people for more than 100 years. I'm not saying it's true or false. But having that perception, is it the best strategy to focus on fitting in?

I'm in this situation as well. But I bear the loneliness since I was a kid. I had only one friend ever in my life since primary school. But I never tried to reach out to anyone to befriend. My life sucks but I've also become very distrustful in many people nowadays. So I've learned to cope and be happy being lonely.

You're funny.

you can learn to have a "normal" convo even being that guy but its ultimately a simulation. Took me a few years to get there but if i m too tired or whatever npc_interaction.exe will quit unexpectedly. Had to learn this basically to make money.

Agree, I think that's where the mental "I am entitled to fuck these roasties" come from. Weak framed pretty boys the load of em.

>>16284007
Projection.
Most incels are ugly and can’t get laid because we don’t possess physical features that women find attractive. The reason why incels feel “entitled” to have sex with women is the same reason why all other men feel entitled to have sex with women and why women feel entitled to have sex with men. Everyone feels entitled to a sexual partner.
You just saw some prettyboy post a picture on an incel forum because he wanted to troll the users and decided that all incels must look just like him.

>>16284362
most "incels" are just socially inept and unlucky autists who never ended up having sex because of their path in life, youre delusional if you think the average mediocre or ugly man who is having sex has learned some magic tricks to pull it off. They socialized in schools and other potential gatherings and ended up into groups and situations that leads to them having sexual partners. Its easier than ever for "incels" to exist because they live in the internet perpetually bombarded by what other people are doing while they themselves dont do anything at all. Ugly and mediocre men have been having sex for an eternity

>>16284379
There’s no magic involved, it’s rather well known that ugly men are willing to throw away their dignity and betabuxx for a girl while she fucks Chad on the side.

>>16274886
This is me except I do have very strong political views. I'm literally listening to American Dissident Voices right now.

Are you retarded? Youre crying about "incels" and how they supposedly are INVOLUNTARILY CELIBATE. Dont shift your whining into not being able to get a perfect girlfriend if all you want is sex or see it as the problem

>>16284414
Those ugly men are still incels it’s just that they’re willing to give away their money for a modicum of female attention.

>>16284464
Keep coping, youll switch the ruleset about what "counts" and who is an "incel" forever to make yourself look somehow better and dignified. You have absolutely no clue on the topic because youre a smelly seething autist with zero life experience especially when it comes to humans interacting

You all seem to dwell on your negative toughs. When you start your thinking process with "depression is/this/that... " you'r already placing your foot on the wrong road. And this is the precise moment where you loose.

You need to find things to do.I.e. As for me i'm on course of becoming firefighter. Two weeks into the course, 6 weeks to go(short course). guaranteed state job(where i live) after course with very low pay. Still better than being neet. Ye so just do ANYTHING. I'm gonna repeat, once again, cuz this is important - Do something, anything. You will become what you eat. If your not on par for decent job go do collect your unemployment cheque and go for intership. Life is fucking short man. I'm 34 and sex isn't cool anymore.

Or continue reading 4chan, bout depression and continue to be sad. Your choice.

maybe you have a romanticized view of the normal person. maybe you need to step outside yourself and help someone else. most people in fact are like this to some degree. they doubt themselves, think they're weird, have insecurities about their body, intellect, struggle with their self esteem, feel out of place, wonder if they're an imposer and if their friends really like them, etc. there are plenty of people these days, especially men, who are insecure about their sexual inexperience, whether relative or total, and feel alienated for it. just understand that all this shit is pretty normal and will be a memory one day and that things will improve, hard as it might be to believe. but they will only improve if you actually want things to improve.

Stop being a narcissist. Part of narcissistic behaviour is to identify with pre-determined characters, as though you're a character in a movie or novel. You are not a "25 year old loner", you are your actions.

Its a meme. baka

The years 20-40 for women are a harrowing evolutionary journey where biochemistry takes them for a ride through a house of horrors, populated by repulsive men- they have little or no choice in the matter.

For Men, 20-40 is the same carnival of horrors except trapped on the other side of the glass.

40-death is like the end of the ride where everyone is spit out. If you made it, you won. The victory is Pyrrhic, proportional to the direct biological or financial damage done. If you survived, now all you have to face is mortality. If you survived, but are also broke because you had to pay alimony for 4 kids, then you've really lost (and evolution's won!)

No one is unhappy about their lives at 50, because they know all the missed opportunities were really just dodged bullets. Regret no longer serves any purpose. So generally happiness begins to ascend in later years. And a bunch of good dog-gone sex is being had in every nursing home in the country. A heart-warming conclusion to this fine post.

Are you sad that you don't have a gf, or that you think your friends aren't as close to you as they should be? Well, I guarantee your friend with a hottie gf is not as happy as he tries to pretend that he is. They probably have nasty fights when you're not around, and they just put on a show in front of you to seem really happy together. Don't forget, our generation has been raised on reality TV and social media. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, is all about keeping up appearances.
GIGA cope
how about just focus on yourself instead of mentally putting everyone else down. since your outward appearance is a reflection of your inward outlook, perhaps people that look happy are happy. you'd know this if you ever went out and talked with real people

i dunno bud, i guess when I see people that are happy and make the judgment that they are happy i'm not talking about the 0.5 seconds i see pass them on the street or the 30 seconds i see the happy person in a commercial on the television.
it's called character judgment
again, you'd know this if you went out and talked with real people my friend. but i guess you wanna live in some narrative where outwardly happy and warm people are "just faking it" and "must go home to their miserable partner and argue" as if those statements are not a statement about you whatsoever

>>16291704
>just faking it
a lot of the time they are though. there are genuinely happy people obviously but a lot of people are just putting on a happy face to get through the day as efficiently as possible. that isn't a cope it's just reality.

>OP, your problem stems from your guilt of leaving an unfulfilled life. The guilt causes fear and other related insecurities to take action. You fear opening up to people and being honest with the world and with what's really in your mind. You feel guilty for just being yourself basically. Along with this, there's probably a lot of resentment towards people who did you wrong, be it your parents, the school system, your country, women, bullies, friends, etc
I’m 3 years behind in college and don’t know what I’m doing. Parents think I’m set to graduate next fall. Friends I ignore due to insecurities. I make up lies about why I am not studying and instead at home 24/7 and doing anything to progress with my life. Cursed with several physical insecurities. Constantly in a maladaptive daydreaming trance of a what if situation in which I had my life together. Whenever I see a normie I am set into that trance and begin daydreaming of how I could be better than that person in some regard. I blame my parents for not doing anything to help my situation and resent them because it’s the easy way. You think those books you listed would introduce some topics on why my brain thinks this way and how to fix it.
