I wrote a short story, and it's free on kindle for several days. I think it's alright, and if anyone wanted to give it a read, I think you might like it too. And also if you do like it, leaving a positive review really helps me out too. Thanks.

reminder the only acceptable way to promote on 4chan is to buy up a fuckton of ads and throw basedjaks in them, like I’ll be doing when my story’s finished

Yeah, it's bad. That image should be called the 19 year old daydreamer instead, though. People like that are on autopilot, revelling in idiotic power fantasies where their life didn't turn out like it did because they lack either the skills to cope with disappointment or the discipline to do anything about it.

It's the 19 year old self pity wallower, someone so devoid of their own capabilities they need to desperately cling to their illusory images of other people, how much better they have everything. People like these live in perpetual juvenile fantasyland. They're not thinkers, far from it, they're just kids whose puberty still lingers.

Grow the fuck up and start using that head for some actual thinking. This ain't it chief.

>power fantasies
can refute. my daydreams are without exception worse than my real life. i always get into trouble and when i snap back im relieved. its like waking up from a nightmare. also i usually daydream about characters settings and plots, not myself.

No, it's not bad, but you are incredibly annoying and self-centered. These are literally things that every single person does, regardless of age, but you've convinced yourself that it makes you special. Yes, pretending you're special in a bad way is just as annoying and childish as pretending you're special in a good way. Yes, it's still pretending if you believe it's true.

OP, we have several writing threads where people post their writing for free and don't ask for reviews. Posting your very own special unique thread so everyone can see how special and unique you are is much like tripfagging, an unwarranted cry for attention just for attention's sake. Grow up.

Interesting take. I'd say I'd disagree, I'd say I'm quite confident with myse, my capabilities, and my current situation. I don't have any regrets and I'm able to handle most any situation quite well when it comes to disappointment.

I do tend to create some kind of fantasy I'm in my head but it's always kept separate from reality and I am clearly able to understand the bounds between the two. I guess maybe I'm not exactly like the pic, rereading now and maybe realizing a few stronger inaccuracies.

Cool reply though

Is anyone actually like that? I have an active imagination and a strong internal monologue but how the fuck do you have imaginary girlfriends when you aren't jerking off? If you're that much of a schizo, at least write it down and sell it.

Shit. I can relate to everything here but the music part because I had to stop listening to music in the genre I use to write in because it just pisses me off now to hear someone else be successful at it

[Anonymous No.18789447]

I dont really have like an imaginary gf that I like talk to or actually think is real or anything but I do often fantasize about wonderful relationships with women in my mind.

Particularly Ingrid Bergman, I imagine skiing with her in Sweden and then going to a small private cafe and enjoying a coffee. her sitting across from me, smiling and laughing, telling me all her interesting stories and thoughts. lots of dates like that, sometimes in Italy, usually europe. no cellphones, no distractions, only good food, a wonderful environment, and an incredible person to share it with.

I think about scenarios like that a lot, kinda gives me hope that something like that might actually exist in real life.


>pic related is her, most famous role is Ilsa Lund , Casablanca (1942)

Most people live through habit and imitation. To call them "more mature" or to say that thoonking is universal or something is very misleading. Most people passively accept whatever their circumstances offer them and there is no "action" or "vigor" or "courage" involved in why they accept what is given. There is inherently no tension between the majority of people and their society. They navigate life passively, you do not understand how people tick until you understand this. The 19 yo "thinker" is clearly suffering from a pathology, but it's a pathology of being imperfectly superior and the precariousness of rising above the herd, he may or may not be doomed but he really is more noble than the majority of people

Not a schizo, just an autist. My thoughts are essentially real for me so I don't "see" a girlfriend nor do I interact with a consistent character in my imagination but I just get lost in thoughts about romance and end up half an hour later realizing I just imagined five years of personal history for the future based on a series of events that will likely never happen.

It hurts. There’s gotta be potential for great lines of thinking in that gross wrinkled organ, but I know I’m subject to the vast amounts of shit that I still don’t grasp. I was gonna read Nietzsche, and maybe Kant’s critique, but I don’t even know what to look for or expect.

Oh Jesus Christ. You strike me as the type of person who describes prolonged boredom as a "depressive episode" and really, really relates to pic related.

This is why everyone hates teenagers. You still have memories of a time when your entire world consisted of your house and your parents and they celebrated every little accomplishment you did just because you were who you were (their child) and you haven't been alive long enough to gain a real perspective on time and therefore can't be bothered to take a year or two to learn a skill or develop a talent. So you look for shortcuts to specialness and excuses for your lack of success. When millennials were teenagers we all thought we were "smart but lazy", zoomers all think they're "smart but we got the big sad no dopamine serotonin trauma healing raised by narcissists."
