Depends on the branch. An understanding of logic, ethics and social philosophy are important for sound decision making. Sadly the rest of the branches offer very little or no practical use.

ok so just act then. remove hesitation from your vocabulary, in fact remove your vocabulary, it's only slowing you down in your spiral leading to something.

Not that anon, but I'm 19 + 11 years old. This image perfectly encapsulates what it feels like to be 19, just not the way it was intended too. Not to sound reddit, but at 19 you're just starting to grapple with the notion that Zordon isn't going to make you a Power Ranger and your letter from Hogwarts isn't coming. You can probably tell that your parents are your real parents, they aren't strangers entrusted to protect you until such time as you could cope with your true identity and prepare to fulfill the prophecy. Pictures never fell off the wall when you got angry, so you probably don't have latent psychic abilities. Basically, you weren't born special. You must achieve specialness if you wish to have it.

It sucks. You have to go to work and pay bills and figure out how a 401k works. Boring. So you start to romanticize everyday life while simultaneously fantasizing about youth. What would it be like to be able to provoke overwhelming, raw emotion in an audience, such as what you hear in your music? What it would be like to born over with all your current knowledge? To be special and to be born special, as it were. These things won't happen, but to imagine them makes you special, right? You must at least have special feelings, right?

Wrong. The things listed in the OP image are common to all of humanity. When you picture things in your head, they are much better than reality because you can't imagine reality the way you want it. When life gets you down, you imagine that you are successful to cope, similar to masturbating when you can't get laid, or imagining a perfect spouse when you feel lonely. New concepts are daunting to everyone, familiar concepts are well-understood. Everyone daydreams and zones out. The image obviously wants us to think the "19 year-old thinker" has a poor self-image, but clearly he is trying to paint a picture of some impressively tragic figure, set apart from the world by his own crushing uniqueness.

The reason it's so frustrating to see this type of thinking from a teenager is the same as why a teenager would be frustrated to see his own 12 year old self talking about how his grades suck because he's too smart to take school seriously. No, everyone thinks "the system" is dumb, but truly smart people master it or reject it altogether instead of failing at it. You think your problem is that you retreat inside your own head to compensate for your inadequacy, but if that were really the case you wouldn't have been pegged by a shitty meme that takes itself too seriously. Your problem is that you irritate others by proclaiming a shared experience as something unique to yourself.

Your brain is still very plastic at age 19. Also, saying "im fucked. There's no hope.
Its too late " over and over in your head is a self-fulfilling prophecy and a narrative dead end

dude, philosophy is 99% bullshit. 1% is precious, because by studying philosophy you explore questions you never had or was afraid even to ask. in this sense philosophy is like a drug, gives you more internal freedom, self trust, self understanding, a tool to cope with psychological pressure from society. the main tool used to oppress people is fear, shame, morality, god in vaticans interpretation. understanding Nietzsche is enough to cope with stupid faggots around.
