Drunk again. Drunk again, what a surprise. Drunk for the umpteenth day in row. Makes no difference. The God of my childhood is yelling at me for wasting away. I say well what do you want? You made my brain in such a way that I fell guilty about everything even when I'm not in the wrong. So what? I didn't have a choice to be born so if I want to die my own way then I'll do it like your second favorite drunk did. I mean Frankie singing "My Way". My old Italian uncles know that inside and out, they're sketchy on the New Testament. So you didn't do so well.

"He didn't fly so good!"

I don't either. I'm just a slab at this point. I'm nominally better than those people whose bones keep growing through life so they die as calcifications. Nice word there. Nice invented word. Passible. Root word, suffix. Who cares. I'm dying. I want to die. I will die. I have the whole rest of forever to be dead, what's my rush? Look at yourself, always the idiot talking to yourself in the corner. Tomorrow morning you smile and sell idiots things they don't need. Look at yourself. I don't even fulfill a real function. I write em real pretty.

Love me. You want affirmation. Idiot. What's the indication of borderline personality disroder? Praise me. I want praise. Idiot. I'm an idiot. I want to wake up and be somebody else but it won't ever happen. Ellison. "Keep this nigger boy running", Good story. Everybody hates you. Use it or die. Keep drinking. Shorten your life

I feel as if my life was a complete mistake. Both my older sisters are doctors who got scholarships to whatever college they wanted, graduating at the top of their class. My parents are both hard working and head strong in the face of adversity. But I’m so dumb College freshman who although got into a really good school, had to go into debt to attend it. I can’t get a single job because no one will hire me, and I’m the laziest in the family. I don’t think I was meant to be a part of this world.

I have little reason to wonder at the place my life has led me. My choices, my morals, my selfishness, I have crafted this world for myself, and surprisingly, I am not unsatisfied.
I am not alone, I have family and a beloved, I have time to read, to cook, to ponder.

I want to create, however. I have memories, ideas, I have a pure idea sitting in the chamber of my pistolhead. It is sitting with paragraphs freshly slicked onto faux moleskine pages just beside me. I know it will be my first foray into a serious work, and have its plot fashioned well, strong themes, and a pleasant simplicity.
I just won't pull the trigger and devote myself to it. I want to create, but I feel some ruminations are still needed.

I have begun to wonder if my waiting, my sloth has overtaken me. I have grown accustomed to waiting for opportunity, and now that it has risen, I am dashing it for fear that I won't have the comfortable tension of waiting any longer. That once the locomotion of my soul begins, I will no longer be able to rest. That this is the last chance to breathe I will ever own.

What a fool I am.

I know the feeling. I think you just have to write it and read it and thrash at it until it's erudite enough. Either that or stop aiming for something unattainable. Just because you know of the best literature, doesn't mean you have to create that. To hell with it. If nothing else, at least you committed to something so you could fail. Failure is the reward of effort, failure is the mana of creation.

Communism is so fucking stupid. You can't just give a farmer and a Doctor the same benefits for their labor. And if you give more compensation to one over the other than you are merely creating a different upper class above the common laborer.
Automated labor won't fix this, because the repairman of a Doctorbot 3000 still won't be on the same level as say a lawyer or politician who will likely never be replaced even in the distant future.

So much I want to do, so little time. Never could I visit all the world's cities in my lifetime. Or, perhaps I could, but it would have to be my undying passion, the one cause for my existence. It would be extremely difficult for me to persue my exploration whilst being a renounced painter, or a musician.

One of the greatest jokes of all, is that we're born into such a fantastic world with a surplus of places to explore, billions of people with their own stories to exchange with, and trillions of experiences, but with a limited amount of time. Like giving a bowl of ice cream to a child, only to snatch it out of their hands after a singular bite. And they only got to try one flavor.

Basically, I'm a fucking brainlet and it's hard for me to accept that I will die without getting to take in the entire world.

An interesting and short anecdote for you, my therapist recently diagnosed me with narcissist disorder, or whatever they call it, (this same man complained of his wife cheating on him and asked me for advice at length, taking up the entire meetings, even going so far as to take out a bow fire starter he had made in some outdoors survival class) and after leaving his attempt at practice, my wife went to a more expensive therapist nearby. she apparently told her therapist about me, and mentioned my experience with my therapist, and immediately said "so he has narcissistic tendencies?". apparently being your therapist's therapist is narcissistic.

I met the girl of my dreams. She fell for me. Not as hard as I had fell for her, but at least she put up with my acne plagued nigger mug shot of a face. I got comfortable. I got comfortable and when she asked me: "I'm afraid you like me more than I like you". I said, "you're definitely right". She doesn't like that, she insinuates. It's unattractive. She's not some phantom /r9k/ stacy of a woman, but I just wanted someone to relax around. I just wanna cuddle. I just wanna hug. I've shown you so much of me. And it's unattractive.

I've always considered myself to be intelligent but recently I've realized I live a very directionless life. Reading Lovecraft and understanding just how much of history and language he understood made me feel like a brainlet. I've always been proud of my intelligence and knowledge, but everything I know is only surface level. I know almost nothing about the specifics of world history and geography because I went to a ghetto public school and accepted being better than everyone around me instead of spending my time actually bettering myself.

Most my posts don't get (You)s but knowing some people will read this comforts me a little.
I've applied for med since it's been a long term dream of mine and I was rejected by all the unis I got interviews for. I'd accepted that I didn't get a spot and moved on. Then last Friday one of the called me up and asked if I still wanted a spot. He told me I'm on the waiting list and will get a call the next (current now) week.
Well it's half way through the week and I'm pretty sure it's not happening. It's a real kick in the gut.

Not only that but just waiting for something that won't happen makes me feel empty. I'm not working towards anything, I'm not seeing friends or socialising. I'm just staying at home, existing until this damn week is over. I'm afraid this empty feeling won't stop once the week is over.

AFAIK, you can't until the deed is done, because the religious stage supercedes but does not contradict the ethical stage, so it's a sort of Heideggerian thing in which the thing is only perceivable because it's not perceivable, and the seemingly inevitable contradiction, absurdly doesn't happen.

Makes me think if the religious stage isn't underneath the other two all the time, rather than being something one progresses unto.

I did something horrible several years ago that i dont fully regret. There was this man i was into and he was into me. We went on a camping trip with a group of friends and one night we ended up near a cliff. There was a full moon out and we hwd s bottle of wine; we were just laying there after a meal of sandwhiches and fruit, looking up at tge stars drinking from our glasses. I forget what he said but he made me laugh, like really hard and I remember clearly putting feet up and wrapping the blanket around my self and just looking at him sideways, sort of in a coy manner.

That’s when Sisco showed up. I liked Sisco as a friend but not as anything else, at the time i had just lost myself in my friends eyes. But Sisco cane up, joking as he always did and accidently kicked our bottle over, spilling its entire contents on the rocks and rolling over the cliff crashing twenty feet below us. My friend got up and pushed him. He was drunk. Sisco pushed him back and they started wrestling.

I didn’t know how i felt about it. I loved him but at the same time Sisco was stronger snd the competitin of it turned me on in a deeper level. It quickly got out of hand and to my horror my friend rolled over and and got pushed over the cliff.

I looked down and saw that he had amnaged to grab on to a beanch sticking out of the cliff about three feet below me. Before i could say anything Sisco was on me. He pulled my skirt up and stuck himself deep in me as i watched my friend and my love hanging my a branch. “We have to helo him” i said, barely managing to say that before letting out a moan. Snd he hekpt fucking me and i was powerless. Then i daw my love’s had give out and watched him fall twenty feet. He screamed in horror but Sisco going in and out of me made me feel safe. I watched him hit the ground and for the next five minutes we stared into each other’s eyes—he was alive, i knew it—before Sisco came inside me and gave me the biggest orgasm ive ever had in my life. We went back afterwards and waited an hour, pretending that the man who trusted me more than anyone in the world had fallen on his own. We told no one. Sisco snd I are now married and we have three wonderful children. I know some people would like to hear that karma caught up to me but the truth is that my husband makes a solid 130k a year and our life is nearly perfect. I never felt guilty but i did miss my feiend for a few weeks. Eventually the pain, and i worked ar this, faded and i was able to live my life, set goals for myself, and look after my wonderful family. I no longer miss him and i never felt guilty. That ws the best orgasm ive ever had. I dont know how i feel about that.

I've been a degenerate since I was a teenager. Video game and internet addiction have been constants in my life for almost 10 years now. I've wasted so much time in my life and maintained the whole pathetic routine with laughter at memes/television and a comfortable family support network. I read theory and philosophy and imagine myself a great thinker who's different from everyone else but really the only thing about me that's somewhat different is my superficial set of 'tastes'. But what the fuck does that matter? I'm lazy and egotistical like everyone else. I just don't post about it on social media.

made my emo sadboi sonnet into a love poem in blank verse about a new girl whom I enjoy very much

Basking in the quiet, sorrow-filled room
Where the morning light flecks in, and my
Eyes are as red as the looming dawn, shutting
To convey secrets to no one, hidden.
Your face, refined to a soft smile, floats and
Formulates in the turbid mess that is
My finger-smudged, unlit laptop plane;
Driving away portents of perdition.
Guide me through affectionless, tired days
That used to fill this ill-lighted life, and
Free me from all ensnarement so that all
I wish before me is receiving you:
Where your ashen skin and grey eyes coddle
My hardened sinew and burning marrow.
You alone, my love, my hierophant,
To send life back into my barren hopes.

I can not maintain any consistent relation to the world, to my friends, to the woman that supposedly loves me, to writing, to literature, even to things like noon or afternoon or evening. The more things I am in contact with, the more chaotic it seems to become.
Everything changes, my attitudes most of all. It feels hopeless to expect any sort of consistency from anything. I'm failing in my studies, my relationship, in writing anything beyond autistic short fiction, in maintaining relationships to people that are close to me.

What am I to do? I have the constant urge to just give it all up and isolate myself.

Scouters are a form of power-knowledge that constitutes the subject as quantified extension by juxtaposing a scalar quantity to its power level, in effect creating power as numerical, creating the subject as a function of number. The apparatus for measuring the actualization of potential becomes the essence of potential itself, and chi becomes a matter for engineers and calculators. The gaze of the scouter, which covers the eye, becomes the true, the scientific eye, the gaze which one must take into oneself as one's own if one wishes to serve in Frieza's army.

She has a million male friends, all of whom obviously want her in a romantic way. She interacts with them constantly or plays dumb games with them to either provoke me or, when she feels like that's appropriate, placate and flatter me.
Physical intimacy is completely gone from the relationship, which she seems to matter-of-factly, almost bullishly accept. Gets even more bizarre considering her promises of endless and true love when there's a fight between us. When it comes to as much as me kissing her in a way that she thinks is sexual, she instantly stops me and gets defensive.
We don't really share any interest, or don't anymore.
She's attention-demanding, she saps all of my energy.
She has recently gotten back into contact with her Ex (who's even more of a retard than her), he now takes every little opportunity to get her attention. Hell, he invited her to his grandma's funeral, where they currently are getting drunk.
Frankly, it feels like she's become a tyrant. She can still be very affectionate and funny, but at this point it feels like a farce.

As the wise bird stood on the arm of my sofa, I quickly realized that it's sharp claws could probably hurt my precious furniture.

So I gained some bravery and made a quick and crazy movement with both arms, trying to scare the wise owl, little did I know that the ceilling fan was on and immediately the blades hit my fingers, causing a small contusion, I yelled a curse, as the owl remained there, humble and superb.

Hegel's notion of Spirit (i.e. immediate experience being abstracted into abbreviated forms of thinking which scaffold the cultural world / children learning through games notions adults toiled over to make explicit) is empirical and
does a better job explaining what Schelling, Freud and Jung set out to demarcate by their claims regarding the unconscious.

The being of nature humans partake in and share identity with is explicit; Hegel is to Schelling (and his intellectual heirs) in this respect as Aristotle was to Sophocles.

Gonna go ahead and expand on this:

I'm so fucking miserable lads. I'm failing three classes in my last year of high school, and I haven't stopped accumulating absences and tardies. I want to leave my job already, but I don't have the money I need yet. No friends. Everyone my age is misanthropic, whiny, and not immature in the same way I am. Their immaturity is different from mine. Didn't apply to college. Didn't take my SAT. Didn't get any community hours. In 4 months, I'll lose the opportunity to have consistent socialization with people my age, and within my social class. It's going to get worse after that. I'm going to be alone. I used to dream of leaving it all behind, and moving from place to place, never settling down, and now the thought of leaving this region terrifies me. I don't know what happened. I don't know why I want a wife and kids now.

I can't vent on /adv/ or /r9k/ because I can't post on either one for some reason. /adv/ never lets me post, and /r9k/ just gives me a "Posting from your IP region/ISP is blocked." message. This is probably the best thing that happen to anyone who actually visited those boards, but I miss having a place to vent, which is exactly why I'm making this post. Can't even discuss literature here because I don't have any time to read anymore.

I don't know what I'm going to do. This essay is going to be worth a huge portion of my grade, and I'm so fucking stuck on writing it, even though I could pass so easily if I just wrote something mediocre. I keep taking naps and I only end up waking up feeling more tired. Nothing helps.

You sound depressed. Read existentialism, particularly Nietzsche, I'm absolutely serious. High-schoolers have plenty of fucking time, especially 2nd semester seniors. Track every hour, stop trying to "feel" better via games/TV/weed/food/sleep, find time to sit down and read either Beyond Good and Evil or Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus. If I can take 18 hours and find time for Saussure you can certainly do that. And if you're wondering what the point of it all is, don't assume any answer, because you can't comprehend anything of the sort at this point.

The finicky thing about depression (which I'm guessing is the case due to your excessive sleeping and lack of motivation) is the nature of feelings being really easy to forget about. I don't remember how it "felt" to be depressed, it doesn't have direct, material properties I can identify; all I know is that I scarcely did much, and it was very difficult to think about anything, though my state I validated by digging through abstraction until I posited statements like "nothing matters", "life is reductive" etc. What's consequential of this memory gap is that it will lead to the lack of empathy we can see in the thread. It's hard to comprehend on terms of streams of consciousness. No one enjoys being a depressed teenager, if there are others that once were such, then they may be projecting that disdain atm

What is important isn't where you're projecting but why. The source of why you do anything surely corresponds to the whole. I don't know what all that is but it takes a long time, it takes a certain quality and quantity of thinking, answering "the why" is hard, but it's fulfilling.
I would invite you to consider for future purposes, in the following order of best to worst:

0. Stop denial. It's common to see frustration from intellectually minded people to admit they don't know something, or identifying the source of their resentment. Try reading about your "shadow" if you can swallow Jung. Also, you can consider an idea without accepting it.

1. Psychologist. I'm very skeptical of meds but that's my experience.

2. Do not EVER go to rehab if you can take a wilderness therapy course instead. Rehab clinics are absolute garbage

3. This: >>10700049 I'd start with Robert Solomon: Existentialism, at least the introduction. Gives a short summary of a wide array of philosophers without all the brick-layered dredge

4. Lament to your parents. If the family is dysfunctional, don't bother.

These are the only actual posts I'm willing to consider as advice, even if it is advice I didn't want. It's kind, it's empathetic, but I just didn't come here hoping to resolve my problems. I just wanted to (attempt to) express how I felt.

0. I don't have a problem with admitting I don't know something. I'm not intellectualy minded either, I'm average at most.

1. This one I'm sketchy about. I have too much pride. The only reason I can freely talk about this now is because I'm completely, and utterly anonymous. I don't want anyone to see me like this, and that's a big reason as to why I'm so hesitant to open up to actual, living, breathing beings I interact with in real life.

2. I don't do drugs man. I don't know about wilderness therapy courses though.

4. Not dysfunctional, just grew up under different circumstances. Different cultures, different upbringings. My mom lived a normal adolescence, there's only so much she can offer.

This type of thinking is exactly the crux of what was so wrong with every other poster who replied to me. If I feel bad, I'm not going to pretend that I don't and force myself into seeing the good when I can't even see it. "Just cheer up" is terrible advice.

I saw this thread, and thought back to all the writing I used to do. For a moment, I got excited and wondered what kind of short story I could put out; but excitement doesn't count as a muse, even if it might attract one.

I hadn't written, well, my version of writing anyway in a long time. I wondered if so much time writing chronological, sterile reports had not snuffed out my ability to write well, but changed the hue of the flame. Even as I write this, I'm wondering why not use the easier term "color;" I'm concerned about being to wordy. Long winded too. I'm even doing it now, and maybe you're still here with me (thanks).

Anyway, with nothing to write I salvaged the opportunity to do something I haven't done in a long time using that old technique of "just write, even if you can't write." Great, a fucking blog post.

I hope my taxes return soon. I hope for a lot to come soon. Impatient or desperate I'm quickly losing my interest in the difference.

You spent an entire night lamenting to strangers about your essay. You could've have been cataloging all the good things you're thankful for, to try and make yourself feel better. You're just doing this to yourself.

Everyone I know who says this has a terrible life. They just accept it whenever, and they stop their entire life at the whim of their emotions.
Struggle is absolutely eternal. Learn to cope with it and actively make things better.

Just because they're not dysfunctional doesn't mean I had a normal upbringing. Moving around constantly, leaving behind your home in a country that's gone to shit, having to sleep in a one room apartment with other people, and never having enough money to afford clothes, supplies, or other amenities; just because I had a loving mother doesn't mean all aspects of my childhood were great.

No one trying ANYTHING. There's no real effort. Do you really think anyone here cares whether or not I get better? No one ITT will remember this discussion a week from now.

I don't want HIS help, I wanted to VENT. I don't care if it was irrational, illogical, or contradictory. I spoke purely out of emotion. It wasn't supposed to make sense. Once I get over this, I can step back and look at it critically, without letting my feelings influence what I do.

There's absolutely no reason my post should have garnered the responses it did, when not once did I ask for anyone else's input.

you're misconstruing the point of my post . I'm too tired to get too deep into this, but I'm a real positive person. A lot of bad shit has happened to me, but I try my damndest to be optimistic, and I have "You have to be willing to get happy about nothing" hanging over my bed, and I try really fucking hard to live by that.

But your fucking opinion that people should just "suck it up because it's not that bad" is super fucking destructive. People process pain different, people are affected by pain differently, and the fact that people are actively dissuaded from both reacting to and sharing their pain has fostered a culture in which we do not seek help, and criticize people for doing so.

So shove it up your ass.

It all happened when I moved to the U.S, I tried to make friends but I got culture shocked by how terrible people can be, last time I spoke to a stranger willingly was like 2 years ago. I am anxious of social interactions now, how do I get over it, I feel like you need a reason to talk to someone and If I just strike up a random convo people would be like the fuck is wrong with this guy, why is he talking to me,etc..

I'm curious about renowned philosophers like Kant and Schopenhauer, but it's off-putting how rarely people describe their significance in plain language, and even rarer that they appear to have gained from it. I've only studied a little of Buddhism and Daoism, but I can concretely say what I learned and how it's helped me. To be honest, though, Western philosophy feels more a like departure from reality into an unnatural complex of ideas, where some situational truth may be discovered by a logical process, but is so heavily mired in language and abstraction that it really says nothing at all. And the very idea of an ultimate truth as some kind of final goal leaves a bad taste in my mouth. What happens then? Will we know how to live? Will anything at all change other than how we perceive our actions? How will this be different from other periods in time when people felt they finally understood life?

Do you get what I mean? This isn't a true criticism - I'm just confused.

I gave up videogames a long time ago but reading has replaced it in a completely identical way. At first I was so proud to be a Reader I thought as long as I devoted myself to Literature and bore its many burdens I could not go wrong. Now I realize reading is hardly any different from videogames at all. True learning is not facilitated by reading alone. It is a superficial game. I do nothing but read and browse the internet, and occasionally work.

I have fallen prey to the schemes of marketers. I once thought myself some liberated intellectual now I realize the marketers have simply plugged me into a more fitting demographic. My thoughts are not my own, half are consciously borrowed, half are given to me by the marketers. I am a cog in the ugliest machine and all I can pride myself in is a fraction of a fraction of self awareness.

Most days I think about dying, sometimes when I am reading a really good novel I do not, but it never lasts long. There is always the hangover where I see my life in all its worthlessness. I have never really grown up. It is in the end no different from if I had just sat around playing videogames. I am completely insignificant. I want to be something more. But is that even my own thought? Or is that a marketer's narcissism speaking through me? We are being pulled in so many different directions at once by so many institutions it is impossible it seems to have a thought all your own, to not be playing into someone else's agenda. What can one do? Even this individualism for individualism's sake is propaganda. The modern man's options are cultural consumption, narcissistic self-improvement, and futile identity play. Maybe these were always the only options. I can delude myself and devote myself to something but why bother? I do not want to be a nihilist, but it seems to me intractable.
