anons i come with a literary /r/equest, namely i'm either suffering from a very vivid fake memory or google search is useless

i remember variations of this being said by a minor character in some novel (maybe with a maritime theme?) likely english/american because i primarily read those at the point in my life at which i THINK i read that

the quote and character engraved themselves into my mind, like a catchy song lyric, and it might well also be very different from what i remember, i was a high schooler reading book after book for an olympiad

Living seems more and more difficult and although I have very few problems, there are more and more things that afflict me. Being in the world and being around all the lowliness in it and all the lowliness in myself is driving me crazy. My only positive motives of comfort are the presence of people whose ingenuity of heart I admire, the mass, the prayer and the walk in the paths and lanes. I can also drown my affliction in games and discussion with people I don't admire, but that's a drunken comfort that drowns my sensibility among the stimuli. Men have no ideals, no nobility, no panache, women have no modesty, no dignity, no wit. On Wednesday I am going to talk to a woman whom I hope to be able to aggregate to the sheaf of my rays of light, of my fresh air currents and of my pure water sources, and I am very much afraid that I will be disappointed and that she will not perfectly fit to my rosary of diaphanous hearts, I hope that her friendly and jovial elfin manners do not hide deep desolation. I am also very much afraid that my rosary that I am building up so painstakingly will fall apart and that I will lose the grains of it because of my lack of skill in keeping them all together. If this were to happen, I would no longer be able to find pleasure in anything other than monastic asceticism, and I would still get a lot of grief from it. Life would be much more pleasant if it were only communion with loved ones, free of all the impedimenta of practical life, in these moments of fullness of communion that come to light the daily life there is certainly something of the other side of the grave.

I gave up drinking after a brutal bout of it. It was the last in a long string of attempts to try to remove that sick feeling of boredom intermingled with horror. Not many people feel it, or maybe everyone feels it, and they have learned how to quiet it. Yes, that seems more right. They can quiet it and I can't.

I have tried God. I miss the monastery I used to visit. I miss the smell of churches, the little moment of world-silence after a mass. That's gone now. I believed then. I really did. Now, I might still believe but even to state it so weakly makes me feel like a liar, yet I would be just as much a liar to say I don't believe. That horror remains.

I tried love too, if that can even be a thing tried. One girl, probably not unlike any other girl. In fact I know there are ones prettier, smarter, more interesting, but this didn't matter. I loved her more than any other and that love made me honest. There was no deception on either end. I spoke honestly and she spoke honestly. I told her I loved her. She told me she did not.

And then of course there was the drinking. Almost an inevitability when life persists while the will doesn't. I drank a lot, and thought about drinking even more. It didn't change much. I went back to the churches a younger me went to. The glass was the same. This terrified me. The images didn't change. Still as beautiful. I had changed. Where was my beauty? No amount of alcohol would cover this startling contrast. On my last binge, I passed out not far from that little church. I would have stumbled there, vomit-soaked and half conscious, had not someone not found me.

So it's done. God, the girl, and the drink. There are no more illusions. Perhaps that is to say there is no more hope. Maybe there is no difference between them. This might be what the end of the line looks like

I love you

Went to a party the other night and drank myself silly. I acted like a fucking tool around people who I had never met before. I embarrassed myself and my friends. I burned bridges that I hadn't even crossed. The whole night I thought I was just having fun, and I woke up the next morning hating myself for what I did. Today I feel a little less miserable, but not much better. What's funny is that I went to that party thinking it was going to be great, that I would be more social and meet new people and that things would start to get better for me. It's just another mistake in my life, I guess. It feels like every time I think my life is improving somewhat I'm just leading up to another large mistake and I will always end up back where I started. I wonder why I keep going if this is the case: that if everything in my life is just a mistake, and that I would be better off not doing any of the things I've ever done in my life, then why not just neck myself. The scary thing is that I don't have an answer to that question, and every time I think about this I feel like I'm getting closer to realising that there never will be an answer and when I do get to that conclusion the only thing left for me to do is take my own life. But I'm not there yet, so I suppose I'll just keep on going.

Do you actually know if you left a bad impression? As in, has anybody told you that you were acting like a tool? If not, you probably just have hangxiety.

It is quite literally easier to masturbate than to take the risk of putting yourself out there and getting laid or finding a girlfriend. I've had sex before, could have sex again, but in truth I am too consumed with anxieties to jump through all the hoops necessary to make that happen. Meanwhile, I could just watch porn and get that dopamine hit and then not have to worry about it for a while.

This way of thinking can feel so convincing but it is wrong. I have to do everything in my power to outwit the guy in me that wants to take the easy path and just jack off instead of going on a date.

I'm having a go at writing a book, too. It's something that I wanted to do ever since I left uni so I'm finally giving it a go. So far, I'm having fun. I read a pretty mediocre book that was self-published by a local girl and she wrote herself into a sex scene where she gets "stretched out". Considering that I know what she looks like, the whole thing was pretty weird. She even described her breasts at one point. It still feels weird thinking about it desu.

The kids coming back from the swimming pool look like a herd of gazelles- long legs, black blocky sandals. They're talking about some TV show I have never heard of. I get the feel for it in my car as the lane is stopped up for a reason I can't see yet.

I can't know, but half a mile up the road the old guy who edges his lawn every Sunday fell dead and slumped over the curb. I never knew his name. I had no premise in my life to ever ask, and I suspect that even if I had one, he wouldn't have told me. Imagine- pulling to the curb just to ask an old man-

"Hey, what's your name?"

Any old man worth his salt would have flipped me off and told me to get the fuck away from him. Even so, who asks the name of any guy who his known for the time and place at which he edges his lawn? I might well have asked the name of every oak tree on my daily drive. Or each name of each kid in the herd of kids with their hair thrown forward over their eyes, joking about how school is starting again and how much they'd rather do anything but go back to school.

I mean, me too. Not to hate on anybody who liked school. But I would have been happier driving around the town asking the names of people who are irrelevant. To me, that is a better task than whatever half these kids are going to do.

For 5 or 6 years now, I've been constantly aware of the fact that my pure awareness exists prior to my memories, identity, thoughts, and sensations, and perceive myself as separate from those. I feel strong emotions, but from somewhere else, as if they were bounded by something or expressed artificially. I have habits and various thoughts, and watch them come and go. When I do something pleasurable I can see the physical sensation of pleasure and turn it on or off if I feel like it. Instead of feeling like Anon the person, I feel like some nameless amorphous being temporarily squeezed into the shape of Anon for the duration of his life.
On occasion my mind walks through each step of the separate parts in sequence, the senses, the perceptions, the emotions, the thoughts, the memories, the identity, the awareness itself, and once or twice it brushes against something else. I exist and am real, but there is something more real than me, separate, but from which my existence has its source and without whose will I would not exist.

I grew up on a rural Christian farming community. My life was full of constant song, work, family, and fellowship. I was never alone, and always surrounded by vital, honest people.

I left when I was 24 when I had a following out with my manager at one of the commune workshops. I moved out, got my own place, a job at the bank and lived by myself. I have had gender problems my whole life and started transitioning to becoming a woman a few months later. I started much too old so I never "passed" and basically looked like a beardless guy with long hair and small breasts. Been rethinking my life a lot lately. Living outside in the World has been so incredibly isolating and alienating. I don't have a single friend that I didn't already have back from the commune, can't relate to people outside, have no one to trust or talk to. I grew up in a place where you didn't have to lock your doors, and people could trust that other's would watch their back. Being outside and seeing how desperate, viscious, and self centered everyone is has been a real trip. I feel like I'm constantly in a den of wolves. There is no beauty in the World, just constant litter, kakophony, and visual blight. I cannot put thought to word on how impoverished and bleak the World is when compared to before.

I've been thinking of calling my father and asking if I can come back, but I don't know if they would take me. I have almost no real connection to the outside, so it would as simple as packing up my belongings and driving home. I've been missing so many funerals of the elders who helped raise me, and missing my young cousins childhoods, and many weddings. The woman I was being pushed to marry.

I guess the main thing holding me back is a lack of genuine faith. I honestly don't believe that Christianity is true, no matter how personally convenient it may be. I feel like this choice would just be the results of "a rational calculus", and would objectively be the right choice to make, only that my internal motivations would be wrong.

I wish I had anything profound or sublime to express, or that I could express such a thing if I had it, but instead I feel empty and purposeless, like a background character in someone else's story. Instead of expressing anything useful, I'll just scream and yell until I feel a little better and maybe next time this feeling comes that little voice telling me to hold on and keep trying to grasp what I can't grasp will finally have gone away.

I have extremely vivid fantasies of developing a personality test that screens for the kind of boring sociopaths that tend to go into sales, media and marketing, and using it on a massive scale to herd these people into specialised torture camps in which they get viciously beaten, raped, starved and humiliated literally all day every day for the rest of their lives.

It honestly makes me kinda angry they do that. There is a specific class of drug that I've shown success with (MAOI) which psychs generally refuse to prescribe on principle based on advice that is totally outdated suggesting it's extremely dangerous when in fact it's totally fine so long as you follow the diet guidelines and you'd have to fuck up hard in a very specific way to stand any chance of dying from it. If I ever decide to rope and never have another chance to try an MAOI, part of me wants to blame all the sheep in psychiatry who perpetuate this harmful stereotype about a drug that's saved thousands of people's lives, but in reality it wouldn't even make a splash, and I'd have to do something really unusual or atrocious to get any amount of attention, but it wouldn't be positive attention so the effort would be fruitless.

I feel as you feel except the gender part. I also grew up in a religious family, community where was no dearth of trust, where every member of the community was a mere extension of the family. Family shared their surplus and seldom sold them for money; it was sometimes bartered but it was transactional--people give what they want to give or if they want to in return. It was as though the community was a large family. Then I moved to a city, became an unattached, asocial individual; lost religion; and lost touch with most people I knew.

I abandoned religion because I cannot accept certain precepts of religion and many of them do not conform with reason. But it hasn't made me happier or better in any sense. On the contrary, I've become more melancholic and feel like I've lost the anchor of life. I haven't found a thing that could replace the void left by religious community belonging. I've become nihilistic, which I think is an inevitable result of irreligiosity.

I think one should not try to rationalise religion and simply enjoy the benefits of religion even if that means being naive and ignorant. For if we try to rationalise religion, we'll be tormented by questions and doubts but won't ever come close to getting a certain answer. We will end up gloomy or ,at best, live with cognitive dissonance.

Do any of you know this album?
It is pretty popular on RYM, and it should be up my alley since I like other depressive bands and have nothing against transsexuals, but this record seems to lack any subtlety or do anything interesting sonically. I think Have A Nice Life is the peak of depressive music because it is not just raw emotion, but emotion channeled in a way that you can't easily do with words alone. Idk, I really love depressive music of all types and it just seems there's something missing here.

I just had my vacation and I did nothing for the entirety of it but luxuriate in sloth. I guess that's what a vacation is for, except you're supposed to go somewhere else to do it. i might have done that, but I can't think of anywhere I want to go or anything I'd want to do, certainly not until the weather starts to properly and healthfully cool--then I come alive. Cool weather is good for the humors and, I believe, benefits circulation. I did not intend to fritter away my time, but left to my own devices I almost immediately degenerate into a self-neglectful schizoid-like state in which my body and mind deteriorates . I had planned to engage in a frenzied writing journey the whole time, but found my mind inopportunely empty for most of it. I did get some writing done but only a paltry 8 or so hours. I realize my mistake now. I should have rented a cabin somewhere and chose a more ideal area away from my common vices and normal habitat to really get my blood up for writing. But it is impossible to do any thinking in any humid weather whatsoever, it clouds the mind and stuffs up the brain . The excess moisture in the air is, in point of fact, while you never find thinkers in humid equatorial climes.

Occasionally one will wonder why they've decided to step into this horrible life and keep living it. The easy answer is that one is programmed to fear death. You will continue to push through the established comforts of your life, even when it feels like those routines are not very comforting at all. A bubbling, frothing hatred—a less pretentious author would hesitate to refer to it as a call to action, but you have me as the narrator so you'll be stuck with that—gives way to a distasteful malaise, a bland and easily defeated disgust for the world in general. Through it all, you will refer yourself to the things that allow you to feel pleasure, if for just those fleeting moments. They can stretch from simple tickles of the reward system—sex/masturbation, eating, substance consumption—or they can be gleaned from the prodding of the intellect; religion or philosophy (sometimes both).
The truly deprived will find themselves posting on an anonymous image board for Tibetan shadow puppetry, fully in the throws of schizophrenic tantrums about transgendered people, Jewish people, or—in the most exotic of cases—their very own moderators.

There is a phrase that sticks in my head: faintly ridiculous. Like a large town square every single alley in my mind leads back to it. Even the words I am typing now, I feel that key phrase flashing loud as neon in my head. Faintly ridiculous.
People usually receive some kind of affirmation in their life by virtue of something external. An achievement, praise, a human relationship. I have never externalized myself. Any kind of growth or decline I have experienced has never manifested itself physically, it might as well have never existed, for me or other people. I have never had a girlfriend, a hobby, I've never grown a tomato plant, made a good friend, painted a painting etc. So to try and ascertain my value as a human being I have always had to go off of nebulous evaluations of my mental processes by other mental processes, leaving me with a vertiginous feeling of not really knowing what can be trusted and what's just my own personal spin. If I had that tomato plant I could point to it and say - hey, not bad. If I had a girlfriend or any social circle to speak of, it would be much the same: I could say look at that, obviously I can't be that bad, or I wouldn't be surrounded by people who find my presence desirable. The way things are though, I could be the greatest man to ever have lived, too great for my contemporaries to properly understand, too great to participate in trifling pastimes like painting, growing tomato plants or anything lesser minds are wont to do. I could be a worm, way too chickenshit to put myself out there, untalented by every meaningful metric, enervate, cowardly, perhaps I haven't expressed myself because there is just nothing there to express. A complete null. The fact that I have nothing tangible to ground myself with means that my fantasy can run wild. Or, as is more often the case it stays in place, depressingly one-sided. Any notion, opinion or dream I qualify with this simple phrase: faintly ridiculous. My deepest fears, my deep-seated prejudices. My great loves, my innermost desires. It can all be jotted down (even the words I am typing now) as faintly ridiculous.

I feel like sooner or later I’m going to have to severely curtail my 4channel usage. Back when I was in college, I had a ton of free time and I was able to keep up with my work and reading while spending tons of time here. Now I work full time and my reading has gone to zero. My 4chan usage has not dropped much, but I think it’s going to have to go to make space for reading and other interests. Plus I feel a bit weary of 4chan, in that I don’t have anything new or interesting to say. I’m just arguing with the same people over the same topics again and again and again. I feel like the time I spend here would be better spent working more or going through that one German language workbook I got or reading the Chekhov stories I’ve been meaning to, or even just exercising. I like this site but I feel I have nothing to contribute or take away from it anymore. Anyway, thanks for reading my blog.

Why did I have to choose a college major at 18? I'm entering my last year and have no desire to work in my field of study, even though it can be quite lucrative. Entering office life crunching numbers for the rest of my days scares the shit out of me. I have the constant urge to intentionally up-end my life to avoid before I enter into a lifestyle I cannot leave. I was motivated by money for my first three years of study, and have gotten straight A's every semester, but what is money if you spend 8-12 hours a day wanting to neck yourself?

Life is bigger than language so any attempts to distill it into language whether that's essays, novels, poetry or aphorisms always somehow fall short. There is no medium to convey life other than life itself. That's why everything, ranging from inspirational quotes to majestic grand works of art always somehow fall short. It is not that they are wrong, it is just that they are always just *this* far away from reaching that which is life. I think that is why those who got the closest, never wrote anything or left anything behind, except their own life. For those "lesser" ones there is art, philosophy, theology and so on. I believe that is why St. Thomas Aquinas called his work "like straw" upon his vision. His work is obviously very good but it falls infinitely short of the ecstatic experience which shows the thing as it really is without it being filtered through the mind's abstract reasoning about objects. I think this realization of the infinite distance between life-as-life and art or philosophy surely dawns on any artist, philosopher or thinker worth his salt. Only then is it even possible to locate philosophy or art in its proper place, that is when one gets over the existential dread caused by that realization.

this is just a load of buzzwords. if you're not happy, if you think you won't be, then you're not, and you won't be. Control theory is all about taking measurements (where you are) and giving setpoints (where you want to be). If there's a difference between the two then you move to minimize it. Your setpoint just leads you to misery, so find a different one and take control

I disagree entirely, or agree entirely. Language fails because there are many sides to every object. Just as you cannot grasp a mountain in its entirety from the position you are standing, you can't grasp life from any one angle either. I don't really see that as failure though, I see it as a success in capturing merely one side of a many sided object, but as long as you're aware of this, as long as you don't go around like an asshole pretending like your view is the only view, then it's not a failure because that was never your intention

With most things, I can develop some rudimentary skill fairly quickly. Sure, I won't be great or anything, but I'll see results soon after starting, and will then gradually improve over time.
The only area that keeps absolutely filtering me over and over again are the visual arts, namely drawing and painting. This bugs me to no end.
I've taken multiple IRL drawing lessons, two full-length Udemy courses, watched a lot of YouTube videos (which actually did more than everything mentioned prior), and practiced quite a bit over the last few years. There's been no improvement in my skills. This is frustrating. Why am I so supremely untalented at this?

I don't think language captures any angle. I think language in relation to life is like a mode of capturing life, no different than taking a photo. So it's not that it captures one angle, it's that it can capture everything but only within the limits of its mode which is language. Meaning language can only say about life what the mode that is proper to it, that is the mode of language, allows to be said about life. But the mode proper to life, is life itself, which is bigger than language. So language in itself, being more limited than life, cannot fully encapsulate life experience. The medium that can say the most about life, is life itself. This distinction I think is something that all great thinkers or artists grasp and have to deal with. Everybody wants to say something at a depth that the medium will not allow, because the lone medium that can say it is life itself. The paradox is that life is at times lonely, so nobody but yourself (and perhaps God if you believe in that) can hear or see it. I think this is the paradox that a philosopher or an artist has to deal with it. "How can I show this depth to others that I want to convey?" There is no medium proper to it, only approximations, except if you want to do it through your own life, but then who will see it? The latter is a prophetic existence, a lonely life in reality.

Now this kind of thinking is really an abstraction upon an abstraction. A few thinkers understood this and my opinion is that when one gets to this level of meta-abstraction that the return to life is necessary in order to escape the errors of airy, empty, thinking. The contemporary world has not learned that not only is it possible to think too little, it is also possible to think too much. There is no diamond to be found in some kind of gnostic experience where you become learned enough in rarified knowledge that you finally "get it". There is nothing like that, that is the true wisdom. That you have to go back and shovel dirt.

I agree and don't, in that (similar to what I said earlier) I see what you said as one side to a many sided thing. I don't think the language itself can capture something, but when using language I'm expecting it to be read by someone that isn't just the words on the page, they are reading it and those experiences are being conferred and recreated in their heads. Like I agree, in that the point of the language itself is to show where the vectors of my thought are pointing, but I think for all I know they could SEE where those vectors are pointing at GET the experience. I feel like I get this all the time when I'm reading a novel, I feel as if I always believed what I had just read, I just never knew it, it's almost like I wrote the sentence myself as I'm reading it. As DFW said, it's seriously magical

I have had gender problems my whole life and started transitioning to becoming a woman a few months later. I started much too old so I never "passed" and basically looked like a beardless guy with long hair and small breasts. Been rethinking my life a lot lately. Living outside in the World has been so incredibly isolating and alienating. I don't have a single friend that I didn't already have back from the commune, can't relate to people outside, have no one to trust or talk to. I grew up in a place where you didn't have to lock your doors, and people could trust that other's would watch their back. Being outside and seeing how desperate, viscious, and self centered everyone is has been a real trip. I feel like I'm constantly in a den of wolves. There is no beauty in the World, just constant litter, kakophony, and visual blight. I cannot put thought to word on how impoverished and bleak the World is when compared to before.
literal trooner

I mean you have literally managed to delude yourself into perma fucking your body with hormones to live out you autogynophilia, but believing in neo platonist absolute being which existence is derived logically is not?

LMAO

sorry but there is no sympathy I have seen actual stupid people who are wiser and deserve the good they have

Why did you self delude into thinking that you are incapable of talking to girls/having loving relationship/having sexual intercourse?

Now that's the interesting part. Is the rush of dopamine by autistic things and internet really that good?

>I barfed in a stranger's bathroom
That can be excused, you were at a party, it happens. As the other guy said if you get the chance be on your best behaviour next time.
Maybe message the guy and apologize and let him know you feel bad about the way you acted and that if you get another chance to go around that it won't happen again. He should be cool about it unless he's a complete asshole, and at that point he's not someone worth being friends with.
I would be pretty pissed if someone got invited to my house through other people and acted like a drunken fool then vomited all over my shit, I would totally get a bad impression, but if he messaged me saying sorry and showed that he actually understood what he did was wrong, and that he's feeling remorseful about, then I'd tell him it's all good and probably tell whoever invited him that he can have another chance next time there's a party, providing he wasn't a total fuckwit before he got drunk.

So what?

>I barfed in a stranger's bathroom, so h probably hates me
So what?

> It's hit or miss for everyone else, but I was so loud and annoying that people probably did think I was a tool.
So what?

What is the issue here? Are you that neurotic for approval? Do you think they expect drunk fuck to act soberly and to judge you like you were sober? Like what the fuck is wrong with you bro, this is not overthinking, because thinking has been done and has been set in stone due to trauma or something and you perceive everything through that filter LMAO.

I feel the same way but mostly for different reasons. I've never had good sex, partly because I'm not very experienced and partly because I can't seem to get 100% hard and horny when I'm with a woman. I assume it's a result of me poisoning my brain by jerking off to more and more degenerate porn over the years before I lost my virginity, which leads to normal sexual acts with a woman being less exciting for me than they should be, also being too much of a coomer making me lose sexual sensitivity in general.
This brought me to the same conclusion as you with the anxiety and such, but it's reinforced even further with all that on top. Why should I bother going through the effort it takes to get a root when I can assume it most likely it won't be that good anyway, and that I can get a better level of satisfaction from just jerking off?

I don’t want to work there anymore, but I can’t afford rent on my own if I don’t. So I need to eliminate rent while still being on my own and that’s the only way I can make it happen.
