I'm the first post. Whiskey is the next best thing desu. You should keep suffering if you think anything else is better.

Earn some money and take your family out for a meal instead of asking for presents.

No you are, you just don't want to acknowlege it. No death or whiskey? Here are some books.

The Decline of the West – Oswald Spengler
The Conspiracy Against the Human Race – Thomas Ligotti

Because you're on a fucking Bhutanese wallet crafting instructional forum asking other people what you think you should have because you've been given everything for too long. Trust me, it will build character knowing you won't inherit any of your parents money or assets and make you grow into your own person without the knowledge that you can just fall back on your parents stash.

u r almost certainly right. but how do I purposely sabotage myself without feeling crazy? I know what ur saying is true (probably) and that we should go thru hardship - but I cannot self sabotage - I'm too spoilt and just can't bear to do it

Just ask for Pynchon. Read every single one of his books. Move to California, preferably southern, a quiet beach town near a bigger one with a lively social scene. Bring only your Pynchon and the coolest clothes you have. Find a job working in a privatised industry, and develop character traits that make you seem well written, as if Pynchon himself had scribed you. Meet a girl and let her fuck you over. From there you'll know what to do.

No, there are plenty of useful fields that are wholly respectable. Marketing is an outlet for parasites and greedy cynics who love nothing better than the intellectual and moral degradation of their fellow man

I have come to hold a deep hatred for marketers after having seen what a nihilistic, selfish society the all-powerful advertiser has produced. If you actively study and work towards become another part of that cancerous tumour on society's face, then you are most likely human garbage
