I've been searching around the Internet and it doesn't at all seem like a common problem for males my age so it must be something serious. I exercise regularly and don't eat much junk food, but I am a constantly stressed schizoid NEET which I don't know is a symptom or cause of what could be some neurological issue. So yes, the answer probably is I'm a constantly stressed recluse, but in that case I'd just expect this issue to be more documented online. I don't know. "See someone about it"- I probably should.

>expect it to be more well documented
you're panicking over nothing dude, probably you're just searching weird shit like "why can't I jack it eight times a day anymore" instead of "effect of stress on sexual drive"
that also happens when you're hungry, tired, strained or uncomfortable. your body shuts off unnecessary processes like sexual appetite before anything else

Being medicated has removed a lot of the anxiety I have about life and how insignificant I am as a single human being. Ive taken a new approach on life in that we can create our own purpose other than there being a divine or intrinsic purpose we as humans must follow.

I keep jumping through hoops thinking I'm just some basketball in other people's games but, if I'm jumping to get in the hoop, than I'm either just some stupid human doing what he thinks other people need him to do to keep the game going, or I'm not in any basketball game, I'm just exiting some random circular objects that I've designated as hoops, and these people are all strangers - strangers who I've never know, nor care to know other than to ask what is the difference between a goal and a purpose? If you have a goal, it doesn't seem to me that you need a purpose, but if you have a purpose, then, well, you'll definitely need a goal. So if there is this difference between the two, is it an important difference? Do you jump through hoops because that's the goal, and you don't care that the game has only the purpose to score lots of goals? Do you get passed around because your purpose is to score? Why does a person even say they'll jump through hoops for anything let alone anyone anymore? It's very dead; very, very dead. The act I do costs me energy, and then I am lifted. I arc towards the circular object. I fulfil my duty. I am beyond the threshold. I am going beyond myself to give you this - and I know for a fact you don't like basketball, nor men who fit through this hoop so easily. I would like to say that I am simply aware of the momentum, and I am privileged to have such an audience for my graceful exit. That isn't to say eternally, spectators. I'm simply stating that the end of the deeds which I do to go beyond the normal is glorious. My bounce is sublime, and my goals my own, for my own purpose - though I have purposely fouled this, haven't I? Except, you cannot know the game! Unless it is you who I jump through hoops for, and I believe it cannot be you. I wouldn't be so presumptuous as to know your extra curricular activities. Not you. No, not you.

Depression and anxiety cause huge drops in libido, particularly when you are going through a particularly bad spout. I went through the same at about your age. It improved drastically when I sought professional help for mental health. There are ways of coping with anxiety that greatly reduce it so my advice is to look into that before assuming you're dysfunctional.

I'm on mirtazapine which is generally considered pretty strong (but I was about to end it) which has drastically removed all that anxious "noise" and kept my head clear. Keep in mind you will gain weight (it's given to anorexics) and it's quite difficult to come off. Honestly anon there are hundreds of anti anxiety and depression meds and it's all about finding the one that keeps you chemistry in check. Talk to your doctor and they might be able to treat you with something a lot lighter than what I've had.

I honestly wish the best for you anon and hope you find something that works for you.

Shut the fuck up. I'm so tired of being disrespected on this goddamn website. All I wanted to do was post my opinion. MY OPINION. But no, you little bastards think it's "hilarious" to mock those with good opinions. My opinion. while not absolute, is definitely worth the respect to formulate an ACTUAL FUCKING RESPONSE AND NOT JUST A SHORT MEME OF A REPLY. I've been on this site for 6 months: 6 MONTHS and I have never felt this wronged. It boils me up that I could spend so much time thinking and putting effort into things while you shits sit around (probably jerking off to traps or whatever gay shit you like) and make fun of the intellectuals of this world. I've bored you? Good for fucking you. Literally no one cares that your little brain is to underdeveloped and rotted to comprehend my idea...MY GREAT GREAT IDEA. I could sit here all day whining, but I won't. I'm NOT a whiner. I'm a realist and an intellectual. I know when to call it quits and to leave the babybrains to themselves. I'm done with this goddamn site and you goddamn immature children. I have lived my life up until this point having to deal with memesters and idiots like you. I know how you work. I know that you all think you're "epik trolls" but you're not. You think you baited me? NAH. I've never taken any bait. This is my 100% real opinion divorced from anger. I'm calm, I'm serene. I LAUGH when people imply I'm intellectually low enough to take bait. I always choose to reply just to spite you. I won. I've always won. Losing is not in my skillset. So you're probably gonna reply "lol epik trolled" or "u mad bro" but once you've done that you've shown me I've won. I've tricked the trickster and conquered memery. I live everyday growing stronger to fight you plebs and low level trolls who are probably 11 (baby, you gotta be 18 to use 4chan). But whatever, I digress.

As the faithless cat approached the tribunal, he realized how futile his intentions to convince the council were, he shed a single tear.

"Atticus Xander O'hara, you may now speak to the great jury" - a deep voice said.
Our scared cat friend came into the presence of the elders, they remained serious as he stood in front of them and said "I'm here your honor", you could cut the tension with a knife on that hall, then one of the elders spoke.

It has come to the attention of this council that you have commited a minor crime against your fellow feline, although we; and I personally recognize that we won't be dealing with a major crime, this doesn't change the solid fact that you must be punished, wether you understand it or not.

Our Cat tried to be humble but he was nervous as you can get, his paws were sweating and his legs were shaking...

"Ehem, I've got something to add before we continue" - said with a calm but firm voice one of the other elders of the council.

Mister Atticus, it is important to clarify that wether you wanted it or not, you transgressed the law, although you must also keep in mind that this council does not, by any mean, over punish you, don't be afraid young feline, we might seem imposing but we're just want the greater good for all our people.

The presents then laughted under their breath and quickly regained the composture.

The elders watched them and almost gave them a warning, but the silence then again quickly reigned over the place.

The first elder said immeadiately a thing:
Without no more delay, we will proceed to name the crime that you commited and then we will decide what kind of punishment you will be having.

"What kind of punishment are these elders going to give me?"

"I just stole some candies from the candy store of the old Jenkins, I didn't know he was the cousin of one of these guys"

"What's the purpose of this senseless trial?"

"Are they nuts?"

once slept with a married woman I met on CL. she posted complaining that her husband prematurely ejaculated and she had never had "real" sex since he was her only partner. she couldn't handle it and just wanted to try sex out once.

so we talked for a while, flirting and shit, talking about sexual desires and kinks etc. it was clearly all new and exciting to her. she even sent me a few nudes. she was in her early 20s, thin / athletic runners build, medium boobs, hot librarian looking brunette. way hotter than any girl I had been with prior to that, honestly. way out of my league under normal circumstances. nonetheless, we eventually decided to meet up at the local mall.

believe it or not, we ended up fucking in the back seat of my car right there in the underground parkade. she was eager and very horny. must have already made up her mind about it before meeting me. I felt like I was just an accessory throughout the whole thing

>tfw her pussy was so tight that I came prematurely too

didn't talk to her again after that. that poor husband had no chance, her pussy was like a fucking lubricated vice grip on my cock

My ex. I'm worried about her. She doesn't value herself at all, isolates everyone. I wish I could've helped and I tried everything but she always rejected it. She'd rather keep to herself in fear of hurting others. She lives a life of full of loneliness and thinks she's doing the right thing, that she's a martyr who sacrifices her happiness for the wellbeing of those around her.

I tried and tried to help then I tried and tried to forget

It feels like losing someone to cancer, you know the inevitable is coming but you care and you want to fight but there's no life left in that shell of a person and you're just dragging her along until she just lets your hand go and accepts her faith. You're in denial and you'd still run through fire and bash heads and kill and die and take every chance to suffer in her place m, but she doesn't want you to.

Having suicidal thoughts because the exact plan I devised to escape my previous bout of suicidal thoughts. In a similar situation, so more or less stuck.

>> No.10194188

On the same night I was able, for the first time in many years, to be honest with my parents and we all reconciled--on that same night I was ghosted, blocked and forgotten by the one girl I'd thought I had a chance with in months, maybe a year.

On the one hand, I felt like a weight had been lifted. On the other hand, it was hard for me to forget what felt like a loss. She was beautiful, and kind. Well, I thought she was kind, anyway. First person in a long time who talked to me equal or even more than I talked to them. It was nice while it lasted. I guess I don't even feel that sad anymore.

It's evil, I think, to assume that someone deserves or is obligated to enjoy romantic love. It's really entitled. I don't say that in a feministic way, I think it's true for everyone, not just men. Love is a grace that we can't earn or deserve. It's a bonus, an addition to life, not one of life's substantive building blocks.

I mean, just think about it in probabilistic terms. First of all, the male/female ratio isn't exactly 50/50. And even if it was, how many of those partnerships are gonna work out? Luckily, I think that most people are so normal and similar that they'd fit together with anyone or anyone, with millions of milling multitudes and more. But for people like me--it's not my own specialness, but my differentness from other people, this lasting sense of alienation and the difficulty with which I strike even the dimmest fire with another person, let alone a woman.

All this is just a rationalization patching over an inexplicable sense of peace that I feel for a moment, just as whatever thoughts I had last night were really only emotions that were so strong that I mistook them for the truth.

Oh, but I'd like to go out with someone, just once. It doesn't help that I've lost my libido almost entirely. Some nights I wake up with my heart pounding, dangerously intense and fast, so much that I think it's almost an unhealthy rate, as much as it was when I took adderral, caffiene, and cigarettes together after a sleepness night and it worried me so much that I "bore down" while squatting and took deep breaths for 30 minutes until I felt I could drive it down out of the yellow zone. I wake up with that feeling, and I panic, feeling under my chin, between the tendons of my wrist, trying to count or tell if it's some serious damage or not--and those are the only times I really feel my libido coming back. Everywhere else, anywhere else, it's completely absent.

I look at people and I don't feel a thing. In a way, it's a kind of freedom, but I'm beginning to feel lonely; I don't like being that far from humankind. Also, companionship, camaraderie, all that stuff you can get with a girl is absent.

It doesn't help that I'm taking a class about human happiness. It's really funny. I never feel sadder than when I'm in Human Happiness. This time, someone gave a presentation showing that things that give us pleasure are closely tied to life satisfaction and ...

If that ever happens, they get as close as possible, then disappear.

That is the real complaint; this is not just a desert, but I almost feel like I am being tormented by demons. That in itself is a flattering fiction, preferable to the obvious reality--I have no self-awareness, I'm clearly unattractive, both within and within, I'm missing the most obvious, foundational things that make a person, a man appealing...

Here I've already gotten lost down my own path.

I translate this as:

Whereas the usual translation would be something like:
Mind precedes all mental states. Mind is their chief; they are all mind-wrought
or
All things are preceded by mind,
Mind is their master, they are produced by mind.
In my opinion, the use of "All" is unjustified.

"Mano-" is the compound form of the noun "manas", meaning "mind".
Dhamma in this context means either "mental states" or "things generally", and is the subject of the sentence.
The other three words are attributes of the subject (adjectives), and as the verb is omitted, we assume it as "to be".
"-pubbaṅgamā" means "preceded", composed of "pubban" meaning "before" and "gama" meaning "going" (from gam-, "to go"). Thus, Manopubbaṅgamā could be translated as "mind-preceded" or "preceded by mind".
In a similar fashion, manoseṭṭhā is translated as "mind-as-foremost" because "settha" means "best, excellent, foremost". Here, the usual translation is "mind-as-master". I'm not sure why do they jump from the literal translation to "master".
"-maya" means "produced by, made of or consisting of". Here I still don't fully understand the original meaning. "Made of" implies substance, material [of which something is -, not as in not-immaterial]. "The ocean is made of water" is true, the material of which the ocean is made of is water. "The ocean is produced by water" is incompletely true, as there are a bunch of other factors that produce an "ocean". While we can say that fundamentally ocean's substance is water, we cannot say the same about water being the condition on which it's produced.
"Made of" is understood as something that's inside the object, and stays in the same state as it was before it became part of the object while inside it. "Produced by" signifies cause and consequence and that whatever produced the object stays outside of it, or gets transformed to something else while inside of it.

>In a particularly chilling set piece, Cicero struggles against, then finally accepts, his fated doom. Trying to escape the assassination ordered by Mark Antony, Rome’s great orator takes ship only to find himself pursued by an eerie flock of crows. When he reaches his villa, the crows perch on his windows and one even pecks at the covers when he tries to rest. In the meantime, the hit men arrive. They break down the bedroom door but learn that their target is being carried back down to the sea. One of the killers, named Herennius “went on the run through the walks; and Cicero, catching sight of him, ordered his servants to set the litter down where they were. He himself, stroking his chin with his left hand, as he used to do, gazed steadily at his murderers, his body covered with dust.” Then, “Cicero stretched forth his neck from the litter and was slain, being then in his sixty-fourth year.” Herennius cuts off the orator’s head and hands, which Antony brazenly displays in the capital.

I used to be extremely sexually attracted to my sister. It got to the point where I was fantasizing about her everyday and masturbating to the thought of her. I realized that this behavior could become a problem so I decided to completely stop. For a year and a half I didn't masturbate at all. You probably think that the urge would go away after a while but it didn't for me. I would constantly get painful erections that would keep me awake at night. But the inappropriate thoughts started to go away. One day about a month ago I decided to clean the house. I went around to every room to pick up all the trash. I went over to her trash can and looked inside. She threw away three pairs of panties. She also threw away other things like leggings, flip flops and socks. I felt this sudden tingling feeling all over my entire body. I grabbed the panties and ran back to my room. I took my clothes off and started to sniff one of the panties. It felt so good. My penis shot out a bunch of clear liquid that wasn't semen. I realized that I couldn't keep going on without masturbating. At night I masturbated and edged myself for a few hours. Eventually I came all over her used flip flops. Since then I have relapsed and constantly masturbate while thinking of her and while using her clothing.

Read some reviews and related material on The Righteous Mind and the Moral Foundation Theory.

Was pretty insightful overall but certainly hammers in the idea of "Moral Colorblindness" that Haidt describes. Having been in various political and philosophical forums where you've got AnPrims and such with no regard for Care or Fairness, the liberal arguments are far to similar to those made by these people. Along with those without any regard for Liberty.

The prominence of the 'Authoritarian Personality' and high social dominance orientation among conservatives are used against the moral foundations of Loyalty, Authority and Purity.

Along with various concerns like
>one could make a critical argument that—given the extent to which past research links authoritarianism and social dominance orientation with bigotry, prejudice, discrimination, intolerance, and other forms of intergroup hostility —‘‘liberal’’ values of justice and care are on stronger ethical ground than‘‘conservative’’ values that prioritize the ingroup, obedience to authority, and purity

>One cannot help but wonder what it would take to be refused admission to the ever-broadening tent of ‘‘morality’’ if characteristics associated with authoritarianism and social dominance are to be ushered in
and

This all seems heavily biased, and I could imagine similar arguments from those with no care for Care, Fairness or Liberty. Like trying to argue in favor of taking in dangerous strangers (Care) even if it threatens the ingroup (Loyalty) with someone without regard for Care, they'll just consider it treason or some such, deeming it an immoral act.

Ultimately it just leaves me confused with how to make liberal friends even consider the moral foundation theory and moral plurality, rather than simply dismiss anything that compromises Care or Fairness as some objective evil.


Would appreciate any thoughts on the matter even if it might be controversial, thanks.

I wish I always knew what to say. Like when someone was upset, I'd have the exact right thing to say to them. Not something that would solve all their problems, I know that's impossible, but something to let them know exactly how I feel about how they are feeling. Something that would make them feel better. But words are so clumsy. I say something and I think sometimes it comes across as selfish, too self-centred, when I don't mean that at all. Or, I won't know what to say, but I'll have to say something, and what I end up saying isn't exactly what I wanted to say, although it never could have been because I didn't have anything to say to begin with.

There are no goals in life. No one I know really has a passion, but are still happy and successful in life. Sit out your time and try to make the best of it by just doing what you like. You don't have to be passionate about your hobbies or whatever. I think passion is not even that good; you start growing an obsession for a hobby and you will invest so much time in it that you will likely forget about other important things in life. Don't overdo 1 thing, keep your life balanced and don't get passionate about shit

I don't like anything in particular. Or in other words, I like everything the same. That's what not having passion feels like.
Goals exist. They are not the ultimate truth in life of course (i.e. there isn't an ultimate goal in life), but they do exist, they are very real and ignoring this is deluding yourself.
Whatever disadvantages there are about passion, the same amount of advantages will follow.
Being "happy and successful" are just buzzwords. How can I be successful about anything without passion for it? How can I be successful if I don't have any goals to success in?

>We move restlessly from want to want, never discovering any lasting satisfaction. As for living heroic or noble lives, our video games and movies do that for us. Video games make heroes of us all. The profound stories about heroes and saints are passing from our minds. Our days have no purpose. Instead of aspiring to grandeur, we surrender to pettiness and accommodation.

>The second half of “Self and Soul” examines the two immensely influential writers who have done the most to destroy faith in ideals. The first is — surprise! — William Shakespeare, “the first great secularist; the first authentic renderer of the marketplace philosophy, pragmatism, and the primary artist of life lived exclusively in the sublunary sphere.” He is, in fact, the poet of worldliness.

>In his work, Shakespeare expresses the values of the rising middle class, assailing Homeric ideals, dismissing religion, deconstructing and undermining the heroic. In “Troilus and Cressida”— Shakespeare’s play about the Trojan War — “Achilles is a besotted fool; Patroclus a figure both narcissistic and stupid; Hector a fraud; Ulysses a hustler; Ajax a lout; Paris a ninny. Helen is a whore and Cressida (in time) is too.”

>“What is in it for me? That is the central question that most Shakespeare characters (and most of us) ask most of the time, if not all of it.”

>In the Romantic era, poets such as Blake, Keats and Shelley did promulgate a new ideal: the transformative power of erotic love. Its energy can allow us to transcend our usual impulses toward hogging and hoarding.

>To Freud, the second great enemy of idealism, romantic passion simply isn’t worth the suffering. In reality, he claims, the best we can hope for out of life is an ongoing feeling of mild unpleasantness. Therapy merely transforms hysterical misery into common, everyday unhappiness — for which we should be grateful. To try for a richer, fuller existence will only result in pain and disappointment. Because even love is a sham, better, then, to play it safe. Beware enthusiasm. Settle for measured satisfaction. Sublimate! Sublimate!

Life is preparation for death. You did not create yourself, you do not sustain the world, there is a power above you, a power that ordered you, that knew you before you were born, a power that flung you into this world out of a seeming nothingness.
This world is God's school and we are here to learn his virtues and his ways. Life is not about the "pursuit of our happiness", in fact such a pursuit will paradoxically lead to unhappiness, while cultivating selflessness, chastity, virtue and humility will lead to a peace that surpasses all understanding.

Everyone will encounter God and experience his eternal light upon death. If we love God and purify ourselves in this life then His light will be utmost beauty and bliss, for God is the most beautiful reality there is. If we hate God, if we ignore Him, if we are slaves to our passions, petty and egotistical, then His light will feel like a consuming fire and we will feel burdened by all the ill we caused ourselves and others.

What I say is not merely an opinion, it's a truth that dwells deep within us all, regardless of religion, gender, race or nationality. The prophets have said this over and over, but somehow people still remain blind, deaf, and dumb.

Started keeping a diary because /lit/ told me to. It's fun! Terrible, but enjoyable to read back nonetheless.

Here is today's entry in which I whine about being given a little sting by a little wasp.

Today I got stung by a wasp, walking to my lecture with the sun in my eyes (which didn’t truly start irritating me until post-sting). It got caught in my hair and I thought it was some sort of leaf or plant, because shit gets stuck in my hair all the time, and only became aware of the possibility of it being a wasp once I felt a dull pain building slowly on my scalp, and thought shit, this is a wasp, isn’t it. I haven’t been stung to my recollection since childhood:

Where I felt a bzzzzzz around my feet and I was half asleep and curious so I moved my feet closer to the bzzzzz, and closer still when I couldnt figure out what the bzzzzzz was, then the little fucker stung my foot, made me jump, and made my foot swell up quite a bit too. Wore socks for a few weeks after to bed, and didnt get stung again. Maybe I should start wearing hats so wasps dont land in my hair again, I look quite good in hats

But yes I then grabbed the fucker and pulled it out my hair, as the scratch of pain slowly grew, yeast to dough in fast motion like. And I wondered how bad it could be, because children get stung by wasps all the time don’t they, and they end up fine, and they dont complain as much as I am. Alas I have constant pain on the top left of my scalp, pain alike a nail into the skull, not hammered but like pushed gently, that’s what the pains a bit like but not quite. In fact its more like a nail in my head trying to get out. Dull and quite tame really, but constant nonetheless, and somewhat of a burden on my thoughts that come from that part of the scalp perhaps. (Is it the left or right part of the brain that does useful things?) In the toilets of one of the most economical buildings in the uk, I threw up on the floor, by mistake and surprise you understand, a weak thin sort of chunder that makes you wonder why it bothered. Sun is low and getting in my eyes. Need to get the lens in my sunglasses changed.

****

Was going to write about how I feel tired and the pain of the top of my head is still there and boring, and how when I swallow, my throat lets out some sort of resistance of soreness, and when I yawn, this pain gets so great and uncomfortable and awkward that it prevents me from carrying the full throat motion(?) involved in yawning out, so I cant yawn, and I nearly throw up when I do. I was going to write this but as I stood up from the shit I was taking I banged my head hard on some big plastic thing above me, which made me yell “fuck!” and made me just want to give up really. Cried to self a little. Typing from bed, 1pm, might sleep, might watch porn, will definitely sleep. Somewhat distressingly it is as if my physical body is catching up with the sickness of my mind. Maybe at least the fucking wasp sting will be gone by the evening

Well now your getting crazy. Play it cool man. Now you are seeming desperate and clingy, she said towards the end of the month, its almost towards the end of the month, she might be busy with school work and stuff, do you have her number instead of snap? You could have asked her how her school work was first, if she is being busy, maybe she said end of the month because she wants to go to the house around halloween, still a few days. Did you ask her her plans for Halloween? Maybe she gets a lot of snaps andor maybe she just didnt check it yet, maybe she is busy with work, how long ago did she tell you she wanted to wait till the end of the month?

Have you resurrected this heaven's voice? Has one experienced the particle? Do you trust in this transformative self? Will you forget your soul's reflex?

I love a person more than I've every loved any person in my life. I've been close to women, kissed women, and have had sex with women. I've been close to men, kissed men, and have had sex with men. Yet this love is more passionate, and more confusing than any of these previous relationships. It's a crush. It's love from a distance meaning that I haven't even touched the woman, but there is love. In fact the love is mutual, so my friends have noted. Yet besides all this love the relationship is plagued by distance. We have very little in common. She is christian I am atheist. She is outgoing, I am introverted. She runs, I hate running. On top of all this her friends seem to form a wall between her and I. Whenever we have a conversation, they steal it. They steal it the same way they would in junior high school, these women are evil and immature. Besides all this, I will have her. I can see this future as clearly as anyone can see the present. Hell, maybe it will turn out that we'll hate each other, maybe we won't want to spend another second seeing the other's face. But I will get my fair chance, believe that!

there is no hope of ever making any money as a writer. there are 10 novelists in the world who make a good living from writing and 7 of them are hacks. the average gamer girl makes more $$ in 2 hours of twitch streaming than a serious writer makes in 2 weeks. the popular demand market for good writing has collapsed in the past ten years. writers are fucked for the next generation or two at least until society figures out a new way to remunerate serious writing, if people care enough to bother doing so. the only people reading serious lit anymore are other artists and wannabes who have no money so they go to the library or pirate everything

So True. I guess to put it simply, I don't get to see her too often, so the going is slow, also I'm a pussy. She has never talked about having a boyfriend, and tends to avoid the topic, so I think that she may have some weird christian thoughts on relationships. In conclusion, I really don't want to jump the gun at this point.

>so I think that she may have some weird christian thoughts on relationships.

it's not weird. she just has different values. no offense bro but you might need to move on. even if you get close to her it sounds like you're never going to be able to give her the relationship that she wants and she's never going to be able to give you the relationship that you want because of that. if a girl is holding out in this age then she has some real old school determination about her and you're never going to be able to scratch that religious itch that is ever-present in her.

and don't lie to her and pretend that you're something you're not. that is just sad. in the end you need to be true to yourself and how you honestly feel. nothing wrong with that. be ready to move on is all i'm saying. sometimes it's like that.

that's one possibility. another is that they can smell the "lovesick puppy" vibe on you and they're acting out a combination of chastity guarding / jealousy / shit-testing. part of the reason girls will let their friends create obstacles for suitors is to test the suitors' stamina and fortitude. if you aren't willing to push through that wall and get the upper hand on the situation, maybe your seed is weak.

do you not talk to her friends or take any interest in them when you're with them? you have to have to have to pay court to everyone in the group when you're with a group of women. that's a rookie fuckup if you aren't doing that

I guess weird is a bad term, different would be better. We've talked about religion before,and she's cool with atheist's. In fact I like reading the bible, and we've had a few conversations about it. My worry is that she's unintentionally leading me on, and when I ask her out she's going to realize that she really doesn't want to be in a relationship with an atheist, That being said, that fear is not going to stop me from asking her out.

>>10198535
I actually like her friends, and we talk. It's just that since they've been really close for so long, they have conversations about old times, which they sort of shut me out from. That's why I called them "evil and immature" it's more that I'm pissed that they exist, because shit would just be easier without them.

She said this a couple weeks ago. She doesn't use snapchat often as far as I know. She hasn't posted anything since I sent that. Not sure why I snapped when we'd been texting up until that point. Should I text her?

Unrelated I decided to use tinder for the first time to get my mind of it, I match with another chick who happens to be in the same class, her bio said friend and smoke no fuck buddies. We bullshit about the project a little, she tells me she skipped work for no reason (red flag but idgaf), I ask her if she want to smoke some times, she says yeah, I mention dabs, she doesn't dab she says, but she'd be down.

This girl at work is someone who I see as nearly perfect physically. For the longest time I've felt like it was a pipe dream to be intimate with her. I took a chance and started talking to her.

So much art feels compass-less in this regard. I can admire style for style's sake, actually, but you still need to feed the style animal some content to work with. The marriage of style and substance is the ideal.

I think it is very good to be jaded with most things these days. We're experiencing a kind of industrial process of the arts and mind today. Everything is being ground to a fine powder.

we deserve a romantic relationship, to meet the love of our life
we deserve money and safety and the works
these are warped conceptions of what we want, and therefore we neither deserve these things nor obtain them

I've always been a loser. I've been compared to Sheldon, McLovin, Abed. And these troubling questions have always plagued my mind: Why don't people like me? Why can't I be normal? Why can't I control myself? Why can't I be disciplined? Why must I embarrass myself constantly? For my adult life I've been trying to turn this negative into a positive.
"R-remember that time you kissed that girl? She liked you"
"Y-you're funny sometimes"
Well today I decided I'm absolutely sick of that sentimental bullshit. I'm a fuck-up. And fuck it, I'm gonna laugh at that.

If you people liked you, what would they like you for? Would it matter what for, or would you just enjoy the fact that they liked you?
If you were normal, what benefit would that give you? What is "normal" to you? If I told you that most people are lost, and that is normal, would you want to be normal still?
Self control is an illusion
Discipline is an illusion
What is real is when the pattern of your life becomes jaded with outdated models and seeks something more pure and simple, then what would look like discipline and self control come naturally
Being embarrassed is probably due to you trying to play the character you think people want you to be so just drop that shit. If you think you will lose friends and people won't like you if you say what you feel then SAY WHAT YOU FEEL and have no friends, and you won't feel embarrassed (but you might have no friends).

Sometimes I feel as if I've got no personality. Every moment I spent around an acquaintance as a kid, I'd conform drastically to them to be more appealing, like a mask. It wasn't a total behavior shift, but enough to cause me panic whenever two of them showed up at once. Like, I could never go and talk to them because there was simply no medium for me to do so. I probably sound like a nutcase here, but I've had a few friends before where I could "be myself", usually set apart by being quiet and kind of smart. So why did it happen here? Was it due to bullying?

I was bullied a few times as a kid due to obesity, but the weird part is that they all apologized to me shortly afterward, and seemed to mean it. There must be some kind of vibe I exude in day-to-day life that's bizarre in some way - not enough to fully remove me from others, but enough to wall them out. Exacerbated because I'm a shut-in, no doubt. Being alone sucks, but it's so tough to connect to people in real life, and I don't know why.

How easy it is to have sex with someone as a human male. When you really ponder it, the average man can easily have just as much sex as a attractive blonde girl -- provided he relinquish his standards and widen his tastes. However, just as a woman would be judged for sleeping with a large amount of men, males are judged harshly by their peers for sleeping with ugly women, no matter how abundant. At the end of the night, if I have a clean, but less-than-decent looking broad on my bed in Victoria's Secret lingerie who's begging to smash...well, then perhaps I should toss my standards and that of society and listen to my cock. It's hard for a reason after all.

Eggs scrambled in the same pan as some halved cherry tomatoes, topped with chilli flakes and spinach leaves on toast. The eggs absorb the tomato juice. Add Tobasco to taste, and avocado if you're feeling bourgeoise.

Because God made man in his image. The kingdom of heaven is within us, and we have that potential insight by virtue of our human nature.
But due to the fall our intuition is darkened, so we need to pray and purify ourselves and seek God constantly...

I havent even talked to anybody apart from the girls at the checkout at Aldi for months

when I talk to them I always overcompensate and give an exaggerated "hey! how are you!" which is too eager but probably not too bad really and i doubt they even notice

I asked you how you can know, and so you have no answer. It was rhetorical, really.
Not seeking to berate you, I'm Christian myself, albeit a very poor one. I don't think you're quite right about the extent to which the human soul is aware of God, not at this level, and again, I think applying it indiscriminately to all is presumptuous at best.

I have spent enough time in self examination to eliminate the mystery of my inner workings. I am able to recognize why I interpret things the way I do, I understand the reasons for my behaviors, I am able to understand that my bias affects my understanding. I understand how external factors affect me. I know how every behavioral complex developed, and how they are situated in relation to the whole.

I know how I can improve myself. But taking action is another story.

I realized that the anxiety I feel after sessions of self reflection is not unfounded; it is actually a Great Obligation!

Now that I have reached a higher level of self awareness, I am therefore obligated to undertake a whole tremendous process of being the best person I can! And it's terrifying, as leaping from a terrible height is.

I was looking for the point, or the 'meaning' of my life, and now i've realized it. Now I must move.
