I've hated the irrationality present in the world, but never said anything out of knowledge that I myself am irrational; furthermore, I've never said anything out of fear of being called a "cliche". I'm aware that there are many more guys (I omitted the word 'men' to sound more modern; I've still got to avoid being a cliche even now!) out there that are in the same predicament as me. It's a predicament as old as mankind I'm sure.
They'd call me names if I said any of this, though, like "angsty", "wimpy"'; they'd call me a "pseudo-intellectual". They'd pass my anger off as being a bottom-of-the barrel irritation; they'd say that everyone feels this way, and that it's life. It is a part of life, but I'm still pissed off. I'm pissed off at myself and everyone around me.

I've also kept quiet about it because I myself deemed this irritation to be something "a cognizant 12 year old would be mad about". What a piss poor reason to bottle up your emotions; because a 12 year old would be pissed about it! Who gives a damn?
Maybe they would've never said any of those things except for "wimp" now upon my revealing of the truth, and I'd agree. I've been afraid to bitch (which isn't entirely true; I've bitched before.)

Though I don't actually want to inflict pain on real people, trauma from my childhood made me sadistic and a fucking freak.

I started pulling out my toenails when I was about 6, and I have a really bad obsession with seeing others in pain- psychological or physical. from ages 6 until know I watched so much true crime I've seen every episode of at least 5 different shows, and those multiple times. If I read a book where someone got hurt, I'd reread those few paragraphs or pages for hours.

Survive! the dinotopia book was like porn to me.
I don't care about the sex, I want cute boys/teens/men to be terrified, traumatized, abused and beaten. I don't even have a porn folder, I have a whump folder. I want overwrought stories about teenage heroes suffering from debilitating PTSD from their adventures. I want them coming back home and screaming themselves awake from the nightmares. Heaving panic attacks from hearing a cash register beep. I want the attractive villain to twist his fingers into the MC's hair and slam his head against concrete. I want friends that don't recognize him anymore to stand in awe at how fucked up this kid is. I want betrayal and paranoia and slowly losing their minds.

I just want to read so much overwrought action adventure trauma with unhealthy coping mechanisms and morally dubious relationships. Anything that involves shaking and tears. Sometimes days, weeks, months, this is all I give a shit about. Literature? A vessel for my fucked up fetishes. Sometimes I get agitated and twitchy when I don't have anything to read.

This is why I read so much fanfiction.

I know this guy who just graduated medical school with good grades. He's an ugly little midget with a ridiculous amount of female friends. Whenever you see him, he's in the company of some girl, if not a group of girls. He has the look of a knave and his eyes drip with malice, as if they're searching for a way to swindle you. He's the sort of brute who knows how to get in the world, how to make contacts, and earn the favor of the right sort of people. I think of him and I wonder how so much boorishness, so much confidence, can be combined with such a sharp intelligence. The word "cunning" was coined to describe such people. Sadly, it's they who make it to the top in this world.

why the fuck can't the world wrap their heads around the basic facts of the scientific process and rational debate?
Yes, I said the words. Rational. Debate. Laugh at my fedora.
But there are so many problems in the world that require exactly six seconds of rational thought to begin to fix, and they're not fixed, because people A. don't know how to Discuss properly, and B. believe what they want to believe.
We go to school for nearly twenty years, and we teach them about a million things. Why the fuck can't we teach them to believe the evidence? Discuss without emotion? Hell, Black Science Man said it best in the Cosmos reboot, using almost those exact words.

I recently turned 18 and finished my college exams, and was expected to go to university within the next month, but i managed to talk my parents into letting me take an year long break. I just don't get it, how the fuck did this become an expectation? All i've done for as long as i can remember is go to school and study useless shit that i'm already forgetting. It's only the basic sciences, maths and english that i could consider of use. Even then, 90% of what i studied was still absolutely worthless, like watching a show with way too much filler. I'm spending my entire life so far into studying for this one specific job, which I may or may not get, which i may or may not like. It baffles me how most of my classmates see no problem with this.

Why do I fucking come here and find this thread. I don't read fiction anymore. Not like I used to. And the substance of these threads always riles me up a little. I imagine it's like sitting in a group therapy session listening to the intimate inanity of someone's daily existence while you're nursing this corrosive rot. Like you're on fire, waiting for your turn to speak. Why even speak. Because there's still a thin, wild strand of humanity that has yet to be tempered down and buffed out into that fine stoic sheen.
And then I get my turn and I can say anything except what needs to be said. So I talk about this blue mug of mine. Blue or grey? Blue or grey. Sometimes I nurse a thought that some otherworldly forces conspired to destroy my light blue mug because I was enjoying it so much. Which strikes me as hilarious.

Reality is becoming increasingly unbearable, and unlike before, I feel like this feeling shall not pass.

I dedicated myself to live as an artist, and those around me treat me with kindness, regarding my work as something profound and mature, I am welcome in their circles, well regarded even, and yet, the money simply ins't coming by. Food is becoming scarce and my landlady is constantly nagging me about electricity and water bills. I have no living relatives, and all those whom I care about are 330 km away from me.

Experiences I had in the past have hollowed me like an oak log. Life was intense, and now, everything outside of the realms of poetics and fiction is invoking the same reaction in me, to say which is none at all. Sex ins't pleasurable. Politics lost all their heat. Transcendentalism is beautfiful on paper and horrible in it's inner workings. Life has become painfully stable in it's misery.

And there's also the risk of a civil war, since my Country decided to put a man so laughably disqualified for the post that reality is looking a lot like a parody of itself. Fucking Brazil, man. Fuck this goddamned country.

I remember hearing somewhere that out of all the human beings who have ever lived, the vast majority made their living through subsistence farming of one kind or another. I think about this whenever I feel like complaining about something in my own life - that at least I'm not living in an unheated hovel and toiling in a field from dawn to dusk - but the more I think about it the more appealing it sounds. If there's still a way to live off the land and off the grid like that without getting a visit from the ATF, I'd at least like to try it out. I don't want to stay in this city and be some kind of "professional," but I don't want to work in a factory or a factory farm either.

I went to college immediately because what else was I going to do. In the back of my mind, I've always had the thought that if the worst comes to be and I don't make it there that I would move somewhere else and live a simple life as a farmer as my forebearers once did. Something about that thought comforts me, for many people failing college means failing life but I always have a backup plan.

I feel similar except about becoming a hereditarian; I now see that the dysgenic effects that are crippling the west are inevitable and that only the Chinese have the will to overwrite destiny and shape the world in their image. But such things don't matter, the propagation of my genes is my only true duty and concern.

Yet I have a great concern over my own mortality, I went to the emergency room last week because I had been feeling my heart pounding (the prior week it seemed to be higher than it should at times) and my arm burning in pain. However, beyond the initial spike in my heart rate upon entering the E.R., they could find nothing wrong with me. My GP said it was probably a panic attack, something which some of my family members have. Still, I can't help but feel paranoid that something wrong with me, I still have felt winded at times as if I need to breathe but can't. If one thought truly scares me it's not so much dying, but having a heart attack and being resuscitated with severe brain damage due to a lack of oxygen. I would rather perish than be left as a husk of my former self.

Later we rode bikes and it rained on us, despite there being no clouds. I can't think of a day more beautiful in recent memory.

Oh fuck. It's so much warmer here than back home. And it's not even that far away. How aren't people clawing at each other in the streets? Coldness is more conducive to the general pacification of mankind. Heat is an instigator. It's an accelerant. Cold keeps the peace, keeps civility. Heat is the ultimate principle of the destroyer, the warrior, the barbarian.

You might say about what about all the barbarians that came from cold climes in times past, Vikings and Mongolians? I'm just saying that cold keeps people in check, not that it grows crops or lets people live off the fat of the land. Lack of cold will spell revolutionary change, mark these words.

I had the opposite experience. I think some girls grow sick of scrolling through Instagram because they've seen everything that's there. The friend list is limited after all. If you are playing a classical pick-up scheme, there's a chance that you'll end up being more interesting than anything she has on the phone only because she doesn't know you and can't quickly scroll through your profile to get an overview. Downside is that you'll end up showing her that you are just like the rest.

I don't want to wake up with a fat wife and children who despise me but I also am worried that if I lived selfishly I will feel empty and hallow inside.

Hey anon. I’m 19 and did the same thing as you. Definitely best decision I could’ve made for myself. Just don’t take a year to fuck of and do nothing, then you’ll regret it immensely. I used my year off from school to move to a new city, become financially independent, got multiple jobs and internships that built my resume toward my dream career, read books, got into amazing shape, went on camping trips, got really good at rock climbing. still tfwngf but working on that too. Anyways, this isn’t a brag post but just use that time well and you’ll look back on it as the best idea you ever had. Taking time to explore yourself and your ambitions gives you what you need to make a decision about college with a clear head. I despised the idea of going to college when I was fresh out of high school, now I can’t wait for the semester to start. Godspeed anon

Not the guy you replied to but literally all of your problems stem from sexual insecurity. Modern society hyper-sexualizes everything to the point where people think that's the defining metric of success as a man.

First off thanks for replying friend.

Secondly, you are absolutely capable of being loved. I lost 120lbs and dealt with loose skin, you will find a girl that will love you my friend.

Lets approach this strategically. Do you lift weights? You don't need to become overly into the gym and but at a base level having a good body fat percentage and looking healthy is wonderful. How is your hygiene? Do you take care of your skin? Do you dress well?

These are all things that can be improved upon. How are you socially? If it's bad, how bad? Can you talk to girls at all? If not could you talk to strangers about the weather? Social skills can all be improved upon.

Do you have access to talking a therapist?

I promise you friend, you can and will be loved. Approach your situation in a smart way, don't let you overwhelm yourself. Do not get wrapped up into a defeatist mindset, I believe in you friend.

Both of these are a work process. I just today threw out all my turn up clothes and I'll buy more soon.

>How are you socially? If it's bad, how bad? Can you talk to girls at all? If not could you talk to strangers about the weather? Social skills can all be improved upon.
This is one thing I have the biggest problem with. I can't keep conversations going because I can't think of what to say next. I've been doing better in this field,but I still need to get better at talking to people I don't yet know and engaging in conversation.

Also getting good sleep (eight hours at normal sleeping hours, not falling to sleep at 4am) and a healthy diet (not missing vitamin D and essential fats) are extremely important. I would also highly recommend lifting because it encourages you too get other aspects of your life in order and will give you confidence when you see work you've put in pay off.

Obviously this is a lot to take in and focus on so start with what you can handle and build yourself up. Write your goals down, brush teeth everyday for a week, join gym, talk to nice strangers at a coffee shop about weather etc.
As far as conversations go, social skills can be learned and you absolutely can get better. Also I guarantee you are more interesting then 90% of people with decent social skills. Treat this like anything else you want to be good at.

I think philosophy is not for me. No matter how hard I tried, it was impossible to escape the feeling we're just building card towers out of words, and what we know now is all we can hope to learn in this lifetime. This is an unpopular idea, but I don't think most philosophers even have truth in mind generally - they just find the subject interesting, and likely have a natural source of pleasure in debate as well. For this reason, the best literature has to offer now is practical advice that helps you grow as a person and lessen suffering. I would like to believe otherwise, but no one ever offers up a counter whenever I say this, so it just sort of rests as my stance.

The ballsack inside my chest is choking me. Everyday, I can feel its dragging weight pulling down on my lungs, sinking into my stomach. I can feel hairs tickle my ribs as the bulky mass brushes past them. Worst of all, the worms inside my brain have recently learned that the mottled growth is exceedingly rich in nutrients. I know this, as when the ballsack is at its heaviest, the worms wriggle down my spine, looping in and out my flesh with ease, and congregrate roughly around the upper portions of my abdominal cavity. There, they feast with abandon. With such a swarm converging in such a small space, there is quite a lot of collateral damage to be had. Flesh is wiggled out from between my ribs, arteries are clogged up and burst from the strain, my lungs at this point are almost entirely depreciated; a giant gap has formed in the hole they once filled. Only the inner chamber of my stomach is deliberately avoided. I would guess that the digestive acids it contains are too strong for an individual worm. Once the welling nausea, caused no doubt by the stirring of the worms, passes, only a few chunks of the ballsack remain (I am surprised that the sinewy scrotum that it hangs from has not yet snapped, or been chewed through by the swarm). Yet, once all lingering symptoms have passed, the ballsack, wretched as it is, repairs itself in a spurt of rapid growth. While the rest of my organs, in utter waste, continue to hemorrhage, the ballsack alone is restored to its former heft. In its reconstruction, the scrotum, affixed somewhere in between my two collarbones, contracts and lifts up the hanging testicles. I can feel its weight pass upwards through my body, settling roughly around my sternum. At that, the ballsack resumes its gradual decline into the lower portions of my chest, continually tugging down on my body as it ripens itself for the worms' eventual return. God, I feel awful.
