I am truly a joyless person. In particular I find no joy at all in other people. I want to be left alone. It could be a beginning of a depressive episode, though I am not thinking much about killing myself.

I can't think straight, I don't know what to do. I can't make decisions and when rushed to do them, they always come wrong, my analytical skils are trash, my mind gets empty, blank like a blue sky without clouds.
I often find myself writing down things and "thinking" in text because my brain just doesn't work and even then, it is hard for me to make conclusions and get shit done. I don't know what it is and what to do.
People that I've met in school always thought I was very intelligent because I always got excelent grades, but I'm fucking retarded and handicapped. I failed and fucked up my whole life and it is all falling apart. Yet, I can't reason what I have to do, what is the best course of action, it is all so empty. I am so empty. My whole life seems like a huge waste, I try to recall my past and I can't understand how I got to today, it all went so fast and I did nothing of my life, day after day. I'm so empty inside.

You can pursue whatever you'd like to pursue (obviously), but the things that you're more talented at will ultimately give you greater pleasure. Why? Well, because you have a head start. And thus, the awesome things that you'd like to create are also closer to your grasp. Oh, and it's easier to get into a flow state when you're doing something that you're naturally talented at, even at a higher skill level.
That being said, art is probably also more lucrative and handy in [current year]. Everyone can write to some degree, and most people can't tell shit writing from good writing to save their lives anyway.

Maybe what you say is true. I’ve thought about this a lot, probably too much and I feel like basically, that while I have a lot of work cut out for me either way art comes naturally to me personally and writing comes naturally to people generally. So they’re almost close to even. I’m at a point where I’m weighing what really feels like it gives me what I want (art) vs what I feel like is worth it (writing). It’s more difficult to measure those things against each other. If I could do both well, I would but I’m not sure that I can. I’m sure there’s people here who can understand that.

An old internet forum I was part of is dying. It's hung on longer than most fora of the era, but I think it's hung in there purely from spite.
Unlike other places I posted on when I was young, this one didn't so much fizzle out when people got older and technology got newer. It sort of had an explosion.
On most old forums, the drama problems are because people have known each other for long enough they have some reason to fight. They have some autistic wild takes and overblown emotions and because they care about the subject, they get really butthurt. But this forum seemed to catch the entitled millennial rip tide.
The problem wasn't drama; it was apathy for everything that wasn't personal ass worship. A really big group of posters convinced themselves they were the stars of the show. They didn't add any good content, or boost any good posts, or really do anything that usually leads to worship in these fora. But every one of them was convinced that after years of snapping at people's ankles that everyone loved them. They really genuinely believed that polite responses to their posts were signs that people loved them deeply and thought they were their friends, despite never saying a nice word to anyone in return and never contributing more than entry level content you could copy and paste off thousands of sites.
There were good content creators on the site, and even the more abrasive ones that made good content made actual friends. But the millennial wave were really catty about those people always, especially about them making friends. They couldn't see why people who made content and wanted two way friendships were the ones getting praised for content or being good friends. They thought everyone should be better friends with them, when I can't think of times they were ever focused on either the content or another person or anything else outside themselves.
It's the strangest collapse of an old forum I've ever seen. They started posting a kind of internet suicide note about how nobody on the site ever gave them the credit they deserved. They seemed perplexed that people who had made hundreds of hours of content were getting boosted more than they were. Many of them in their internet suicide notes named people who were not only good content creators but also really nice people as "cancer". They seemed to think that those people had only done it for the clout, and that the people who made irl friends or met their spouse through the forum were some how faking years of effort, solely for the purpose of making them feel underappreciated. It's serious crabs in a bucket shit, and there's a lot of these I'm leaving because you all don't worship me posts. If it was just one or two, I'd think it was the standard level of autism the internet attracts. But it's almost everyone born from 1980 onwards on the site, except the few content creators who all had side projects to fall back on when this type of note started exploding. It's very weird.

I'm exhausted with this way of life we lead today. My job is not fulfilling, tedious IT office work "but it makes money", etc. All life seems to be categorized and classified into a million "-isms" that fanatics violently assert on you and attempt to bring you into their fraud identity. Everyone I know is fading into a walking void, hardly human in character. We can't speak freely anymore, we can't even speak honestly to each other because of the million "-isms" that define our existence and which you must become a sycophant for or be cast aside. I am just exhausted, totally exhausted.
No, I am not going to tell you it was "better in the past" or some other supposition. I just know it's exhausting now, metaphysically exhausting. My home town went from a quiet, rather comfy rural place where people never locked their doors to a supercenter, the economic trade hub that modern man seems so hellbent on turning every avenue of existence into. Foreign faces, foreign tongues, impossible throngs of shoppers re-assured by loudspeakers that we're all complying with the latest safety regulations and you can be sure they're using all the correct pronouns. How can we keep living in this nightmare?I know I am not alone, how can we keep justifying tolerating this insanity? Are we really so content with being fed a bunch of poison everyday and so long as our bellies are full then that's it?

It's funny how much social media has completely alienated humanity from itself. We all have to meet a thousand checkmarks before we're even allowed to speak to one another. Every online forum is a self-contained bubble of fury, and when outsiders appear the language turns to the kind of venom that precedes massacres. We're totally doomed. GAFAM has completely dominated our existence. The internet, once a frontier, is now totally owned space and the walls are closing in around us. We're watching humanity delete itself in real time at an alarming pace, ruled over by technocratic lunatics. Like that old film, "Revenge of the nerds".

Believe me it's not only in the West. In the East, Central Europe, and Asia as well. Social media trained us into losing humanity. We aren't able to speak honestly with each other. Nobody can handle anything except blind obedience. Disagreeing with someone on anything is enough to warrant a burnt bridge - and God forbid you joke about that. Everything is so terribly unfunny, stale, washed out. Humanity ran its course I think.

Nothing concrete yet, but I'm 100% okay with taking it slow – it's my preference anyway. I feel like I'm reaching a really good point in my life after a long, long time down in the doldrums. Even if she loses interest, I feel like I can weather it. Things might actually come together.

Yeah, like I said, this sounds like someone who never tried either. I think you're calling them boring and simple because you have no idea what they involve. I think you would fail at the actual babby level, which everyone with any experience knows is a 5k and a 5% or under incline. I think you lack the experience to know what basic is. They're also two sports where it's very easy to tell when someone is lying about their experience. Spotting people who lie about their 10k or marathon experience is a sport in itself.

The only thing that reveals to me is how unfit people are here on this board. Whatever helps you cope. I am telling you the truth. These feats are not very impressive. The anon asked for an honest opinion.
Maybe it is because I come from a different region or country, but my acquaintances and me have always been people that can easily do this.
If you want some form of benchmark when I was living in Vancouver we regularly did the Grouse Grind
https://www.vancouvertrails.com/trails/grouse-grind/
Which is a ~30% incline 2 hour hike. We usually did it in 45-50minutes, which should be expected for a reasonable fit millennial. Now the people that can do this in under 30-40 minutes are actually impressive. Worth mentioning.
Same goes for marathons. I am not a runner, I do long-distance cycling. But I know the times my friends run. It is about 1:30m 1:40m for a 20k. Do you think any of them mention that in their profiles? No that is just not interesting.

It's a pretty well known phenomenon if you race.

Strange Vibes

A seemingly eternal trope now, you’ve heard it, and so have I. Perhaps from the same kind of person who thinks they are just so clever. “History repeats itself,” or “time follows a flat circle” if you are so big-brained to believe. Patterns in nature and reality, in social systems, who would have thought. For some time now, the world has been set on autopilot, the last seventy years at least. No one seems to know what they are saying, acting so serious. There are no rules to any of this, this ennui ape says. I crave for enlightenment, to figure out what’s going on, who's driving this thing. Who, what, when, where, and why am I? I’ve yet to have a chance to figure it out. Who am I to say whether there’s a pattern to the chaos or not—all the hullabaloo, hype, history, hysterics. The true meaning of it all is withheld behind the curtains of this elaborate puppet show. Where do we go? How should one go about understanding the world, hearing the silent strings in the shadows? Truth is messy, rarely if ever absolute. I’ve come to distrust most everything around me. My only tether toward fulfilling my own prophecies. Not long before those come crashing down. Can you trust yourself?
What a strange way to look at the world. Nothing feels real. You don’t see things as others do. You dream of worlds you might never see, an escape from the hellscape of the real world. Pasts that never were and places that’ll never be. I never wanted any of this. You’re alone. How did we get here, are we stuck? Take a look outside. What do you see? I hope I’m not losing my mind, do you see? The world seems stagnant, unsure, so out of place and goofy-footed, I’m not so convinced we aren’t caught in some black-hole or alternate timeline. It’s a strange world. Things are not as they once were, nor will they ever be. Institutions move toward nothing in particular under the guise of progress. The future is frightening, absolutely unclear. Anything could happen. Nothing is happening. Politics aside, it’s clear that we have arrived at the crux of what is likely several different, unrelated events playing out at the same time. This synchronicity, this one big “it is, what it is,” the lifeless drought of our days. Could I ever wish to change things, to save the world? I’d undoubtedly be special. I'd love to think my perspective is unconventional, that I’m a nobody. Stuck. We are forced to take the world at face level as it’s thrust at us, something it rarely does here, twenty minutes Southa’ ‘Greensboring.’ Stuck, a nobody in nowhere.
There are no more Wild Wests to explore and no New California quite yet. Just strange stories of yesterday and pain.

Look through all the people in the way, and you’ll be forced to follow feelings, roll with punches, ride the weird vibes. Be guided by that ancient, older than language part of your mind.

Well if you had known the different gradings of hikes don't rank a 10% incline as babby level, then it wouldn't be an issue. But since it's clear you have no experience of even a hillwalking club, yeah you're going to have to dox yourself for me to not consider it bullshit. It's like people who claim they killed the east approach of Everest and nobody has ever heard of them and then they claim they did it when the Chinese had blocked the path and know nothing about altitude sickness symptoms. I mean, yeah, there's an outside chance they're superman, but most likely they're a bullshitter. Since you already admitted you were bullshitting running, and you've said things which indicate you're bullshitting hiking (something you consider boring and middle class btw) I'm thinking you're full of shit on all fronts.

You're trying to say something you never did is easy. And like I said, I don't believe you would be bored if you did one, so much as in pain.

You can easily get permits for a park in Canada (we used the Canada 150 ones) and I never had to deal with a hill walking club when getting permits in the US. You just go to the office and get the permit from the rangers. That's how we did it for the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim, Rainier, and Jacinto.

It's pretty funny because you did this with running before you admitted you don't actually run.

And I think this is your effort to not be as boring as someone who talks about things they don't actually know shit about, which is failing because you're now in a position where in order to shit on anon's hobbies like >>18677261 said, you have to be deeper into what you called boring and middle class than he ever claimed to be.

I've spent my entire life being told that I am different than other people and it's really fucked me up. Doesn't help that years k-12 the majority of my social interaction came through schooling so everyone else treated me the same way the teachers did. When you're 15 and other people are hanging on your every word it fucks you up, I never got to be seen by other people the way I saw them and it's led to this position where I deliberately stay away from others because I spend a few minutes with them and then they give me that look where they recognize that I am different. It didn't help that my father is an immigrant and my mother is an american, when im around americans i feel isolated and when im around my father's kin i feel isolated.

Lately i've started having daydreaming fits again where I disappear into my dreams for hours at a time. Every so often something happens that triggers them and i spend months reigning them in. I've spent the better part of my life resenting positive attention and now I keep disappearing into fantasies of it. I had a dream 5 nights ago of a feeling I felt with the only girl I've been with(and only because she would not allow me to deny her), just the feeling appeared in the dream.

My daydreams always consist of me and a girl who was incredibly infatuated with me in the 10th grade. I've not thought of her in 6 years but when she comes to me it's so vivid. There are so many memories of time I spent with her that have resurfaced because of the daydreams, it's overwhelming. Since the daydreams started I've had no dreams at night and I haven't slept in 37 hours. I need tranquilizers or something because as is I am completely out of order and it's only getting worse by the day. I've just been reading and browsing and drifting into daydreams for hours and hours now.

No you don't. Most people are impressed by a 10k. When they find out people do it everyday, they're even more impressed.
If you want to claim it's not impressive to runners, or not interesting to them, then you've never seen the follow up questions people in the sport would lob at you immediately upon finding out this information. That anon was right that the only people who immediately think "boring, unimpressive" are people who don't do shit and are trying to drag other people down.

I have a plan. Assuming there is a God, I am going to reverse engineer the universe and see if it adds up with modern science.
Obviously, it is based upon some scientific knowledge but there is a potential limit. So far it seems to hold true, as in there are no unnecessary parts in nature, and it is apparently optimal for life. What are the chances of that? Slim, I imagine.

It comes down to Einstien's sense of elegance, (or most simple yet effective), and using that as a guiding principle.

I've got a couple snags, such as quantum field theory and particle physics. Are they truly the most elegant theories (as in you could not imagine a simpler physics)? Occam's Razor also comes into play here.

For instance, (quantum chromodynamics) take nucleons for granted as playing a pivotal role and then try to give them a more fundamental constitution as required. Obviously, this constitution (quarks) has to follow some fundamental behavior to be congruent with the greater scheme of things, and are there simpler coherent ideas than what physicists have cooked up ?
Could you not imagine quarks as being attracted to one another via a force field like a magnetic field, which is inherent at the conception of the universe?

How much of modern science is truly justifiable? Do they not make theories based upon evidence, re-model their hypothesis's based upon new evidence, and then wonder why their predictions are wrong as they look for clarification?

Imagine if simpler models could explain the same thing with approximated mathematical methods.

Later you hear sobbing, from your mother talking to your Father
"Anons not right, he's not right"
"He has no friends, no job, no girlfriend"
"I think anon has failed at life, and we failed him as well"
You hear this and start sobbing looking around your surroundings.
Nothing but dirty dishes, books, clothes,and Trash
You come to the realization that you're spending your prime years in front of a computer screen
Your classmates are gone, your crush is being fucked by chad, all that while you stare at a screen with a cartoon frog.
You sob harder as you realize whats happening
Even more so as you come to realiziation that you're only in your bedroom sobbing because you were born with the wrong skin color.

This is your fate, and there is no turning back

Not giving you the name of the forum but I can give you some excerpts:

>For too long I've put up with all of these petty arguments and bullshit. I'm leaving [site] for good. I feel like anyone who can see knows there is a problem here with some posters[...] It's impossible to break into the top rated if you're not in the "cool crowd" because nobody will vote for your [work.]
^this one never made any entry in that competition, and almost every year for decade, the newest person to enter won. Most people who were established didn't enter because it was seen as stealing someone's chance to get well known in the site.

>Everyone here is such a douchebag. [...] When ANYONE ELSE makes off topic threads they get YAASSS posted but I get dragged over and over WHEN MY POST IS ON TOPIC AND BETTER THAN [other people's]. Fuck you all [...] I'm very glad I never got to know any of you and I am SO FUCKING HAPPY I never showed my work here. I was afraid people would shit on it, because I valued the opinions of [people on the site], but now it's clear that you are all fucking douchebags who want to jump on people because you're all fucking rotten inside. Fuck you all.
This one was because they had posted something off topic and people had told them to take it to the right section, like you'd tell someone discussing comics on /lit/ to go to /co/

>If people on here are such elitists they can't accept anyone who doesn't match their ridiculously high standard nobody else can meet then I'm glad [person who left because of work commitments] left. I've never hoped people would fail in life but everyone on this site deserves to fail. You think you're so fucking good you don't need to be nice to the plebs. You're fucking shit. [...] I enjoyed coming here because it was a group of similar people but you never pay any attention to anyone who isn't giving you [content] or fucking essays [on topic] and act like that's normal. You suck [person who posted lots of content] off all day and ignore everyone else. [...more stuff about hoping people fail and a list of content creators who deserve to fail] so you know what it's like.

You could get the impression the site was full of assholes from those posts, but it was mostly filled with people who wanted to get good. The people who got good kind of fizzled out, and all that's left is spite. There are a lot of posts that aren't "fuck you I'm leaving forever", but most of them are "why is this site not good any more? what happened?" The weirdest thing is what sets off those posts. There isn't a lot of content on the site now, because some people got good enough their job is now doing the same thing, or because they got tired of bullshit taking over, so they're having these freak out moments in the middle of random conversations. One of the "fuck you I'm leaving" posts was because someone explained how to get legal advice when the person who left asked how to get legal advice.

I used to write a ton of fanfiction and I still do write the occasional short fanfic. One thing I have gradually learned is that nothing attracts high-level autists like fanfiction. You think this or that work of original fiction, this or that book or cartoon or film, attracts autistic fans? You don't know the half of it. No, the true autists are the ones who congregate into fandoms of the FANFICS about those original stories. That is the true face of weapons-grade autism. I have encountered more weirdos, freaks, retards, degenerates, and insane people related to fanfiction than I ever have to anything else. No original story attracts these people like fanfiction does.

I've been diagnosed, but the guy doing the testing doesn't seem very competent. My psychiatrist and therapist both disagree with the diagnosis, as does my dad, a clinical psychologist who used to develop psychological tests. I have some of the traits, but I can socialize with others and have a desire to do so. Anyways, you can read about SPD online. I was told SPD is not schizophrenia and should not be confused. However, Wikipedia mentions there are similarities. I suggest listening to the King Crimson song, 21st Century Schizoid Man, particularly the Live in Mexico City version.

Thanks for the tip. I probably haven't listened to that one, and if I did, I wasn't listening to it for enjoyment. I was first introduced to the live version inadvertently on YouTube because that was the main video for the song. Then, it disappeared one day, and I had to listen to the horrendously slow original. I found the Mexico City version when I undertook a search of the King Crimson catalog.

I haven't listened to very much King Crimson, but I really like that one song. I will check out the version you recommend. Feel free to give other recommendations as well. I am primarily a heavy metal fan, followed by blues, but I enjoy lots of other genres.

Dahmer wasn't a predator in the way most people consider serial killers predators. He was a different kind of crazy and repeatedly tried to tell people what he was doing so they would stop him. Everyone thought he was joking. He is definitely not peak homo predator, and the only reason he got so high a body count was that nobody believed him and nobody cared about people going missing. He was an extremely disorganiszed killer, and if he had lived anywhere that was not the ghetto, he would have been in treatment before he killed people.
It's one of the few times where it's a mental illness going ignored that led to murder. He thought that if he ate people, they would join together so they couldn't leave him.
He's not a sociopath. He's got a very different disorder to Bundy, with an added bonus of psychosis.
It's weird you think that it would be okay and understandable if he was bullied as a child, when he's a childhood alcoholic. Or are people with alcohol problems by the age of fourteen just doing fine in life like his counselors thought?

Dean Corll is a lesser known but equally heinous one. He originated the whole cliche about a creep in a nondescript van handing out candy to children to lure them in and was dubbed the "candy man." If anything his murder rapes were more brutal than Gacy's in terms of the sheer sadism.

> Dean Corll was an American serial killer who abducted, raped, tortured, and murdered at least 29 teenage boys and young men between 1970 and 1973 in Houston, Texas. He was aided by two teenaged accomplices, David Owen Brooks and Elmer Wayne Henley. The crimes, which became known as the Houston Mass Murders, came to light after Henley fatally shot Corll. Upon discovery, it was considered the worst example of serial murder in U.S. history.

What is magical realism really? It seems to me it’s used in 3 ways:
1) Latin American fantasy
2) novels that are mostly realism but have subtle drops of fantasy here and there
3) novels that overtly fantasy but given the tag of magical realism in an attempt to further legitimize the story as a work of literary merit, or something.
Out of the 3, the 2nd one intrigued me. The 1st and the 3rd do not.

I'm reading (or trying to read) The Myth of Sisyphus. Most of it just goes over my head; re-reading hardly helps. Is it is difficult book or am I a midwit?
(asking it here because I don't want to kill a thread simply for this question)

You: i appreciate islam for it's aesthetics mostly

Stranger: Oh okay

You: but what I appreciate about islam i appreciate about most perennial schools of thought

You: which is what got me interested in the first place anyways

You: what about you

You: what interests you about islam

Stranger: I’ve had relationships with many Muslim people, it’s also the 2nd largest religion and apparently the fastest growing, so it would be nice to understand it

You: yeah

You: would you like to hear something specifically about islam that i am concerned with

You: regarding perrenialism and my findings

Stranger: Also there’s a lot of negative and positive talk when it comes to judging Islam, so I want to see for myself

Stranger: Sure go ahead

You: i feel that the majority of negative talk comes from a place of ignorance

You: but anyways

You: tradition is of a double essence: religious and metaphysical in islam

You: i think it is worth classifing the religious as exoteric

You: and the metaphysical as esoteric

You: because the metaphysical is that which constitutes its deeper meaning and, furthermore, is regarded as the doctrine of the elite

You: here lies my interest personally

You: but this distinction is worth conserving because the two are ultimatly related under the same doctrine

You: i don't know if the same can be said about western religions

You: this is what i appreciate at least aesthetically about some eastern religions, specifically islam and taoism

You: but idk, still reading a lot

Stranger: Ooo interesting

Stranger: What would you advice as a first step in studying Islam?

You: well since you're interested in islam you should figure out what about it you are drawn to

You: for me it's the perennial views and their relations to the west

You: which i guess is not very popular

Stranger: Yup

You: hence the west's distain/ignorance

You: but what about it do you feel is interesting

Stranger: Not too sure l desu

Stranger: I just wanna study it cos I want to understand the second largest religion in the world

You: it would be helpful to know

You: i don't know much of anything relating to islam today

You: i just have tried to understand/read it's doctrines and it's scholasticism

Stranger: Oh okay

You: reading the Quran might be a good start for you

You: it should contextualize the religion better for you

You: and help you better understand it

Stranger: Oooo okay

Having money would solve 99.99% of my problems but no one has ever taught me how and my crap upbringing has killed all of my interest in stocks and crypto so I'll probably end up as a wagie codemonkey and rope myself out of boredom before I reach 30
I just want to get into academia but I don't even know how
I have to try 10 times harder than everyone else just because I was born in the wrong country
I've never chosen to endure this shitty life
I hate this

I set a picture of an anime girl smiling in a funny way as my desktop wallpaper just for lulz but seeing somebody smile at me every half an hour or so when I switch a window is actually helping me feel less lonely so I think I'll keep it.

I’m a fuckin idiot. Hooked up with a girl after breaking up with my ex months ago and now I’m getting attached, and now feeling betrayed at the idea she may be currently talking to other guys.
We’re not in anything committed so it makes sense. Don’t know why I feel this way, probably best if I just cut it off but who knows

Stuff me with cotton and take it all.

Nobody wants to get it, but they're all for talk
Nobody gives a fuck, I'm not the one to talk
Nobody gives a fuck, I'm not the one to talk

Alternatively spend more time with your friends and personal projects instead of wasting your time with relationships that’ll go nowhere

I was just thinking today that I have nothing but contempt for people around your age and older, including and especially my parents. These are the people who ruined the world and passed it down to us. I myself am not doing so badly, but I've had to put much more effort than these people for less results.

I think you would need to build your restoration knowledge. Opening a business like that in a big city is no joke
