i keep wondering if all fiction could be unhealthy for the brain. human life is so short, a day has so few hours. how can you take one or more of these hours and flee to a place that doesn't exist and disconnect from your own reality.

places that don't exist have begun to repell me. my own reality has so many projects i would like to attend to that i feel gridlocked by not knowing what to do first. desire for fiction might be nothing but pure idleness.

i assume i understand the impulse, though i could be mistaken. when i was a child and were forced to attend child prison (school), the idea of no longer being able to explore the world at my own pace and instead had to spend time with the violent conformist was completely depressing. have them judge my intelligence based on how hard i could force myself to care what they thought was important in their desperate attempt to turn me into a mindless soldier and stomp all my dreams and interests in the process.

i'd flee into video games and at least videogames are interactive. in a video game i can make decisions, in school i was but an inmate without agency. but in a movie about a super hero, there is no interaction, the poor fool who watches this is but the passive recipient of centralized propaganda. i don't see how someone would accept this premise and spend time on this.

>You THINK if someone wants to be healthy they would stop any and all fiction.

and why wouldn't i? can you come up with a good reason for why i would be wrong?

>Funnily enough,

cmon you unconscious midwit, don't drag humor's good name into the mud just because you feel like you need dramatic figgures of speech to give your words the oompf that your generic lack of arguments leave to be desired…

>listening to audiobooks or podcasts while outside is something I myself would consider "unhealthy" or at the very least suboptimal.

you have a bit a point there and i already practice what you talk about but sometimes when i am eager to listen to something, i don't feel like i should limit myself because you believe it is always better to idol worship nature sounds. especially when i am in the disgusting city with the car noise and the planes and helicopters being a nuissance it is nice to be in deep attention to an audiobook. i don't use public transport anymore but if i did, i'd hate to listen to the generic unconscious people talking and would be thankful for anything but the trivial normie noises.

>It's just falling into the trap of trying to do multiple things at once that modernity funnels everyone into, instead of being present with the sights, sounds and sensations of your life

i meditate so i believe in this and already practice this plenty. at the same time i am inventing stuff to do the exact opposite. i am currently trying to find out how many things i can juggle at the same time. how many things i can keep informing myself on, how many interests i can really have and keep making progress in each and my current pre-mature conclusion is: somewhere between 100 and 1000 things. 100 was easy, currently almost at 400 and that seems like a bit much. i expect to notice when i reach my limit and when i have to reduce though. this is me trying to learn from all my failed attempts of time management and being unable to use a calendar to create something tailored to my personal creation process.

>they dont point at anything real or important anyway, religions are basically entertainment for the masses that gives them easy answers.

you again with the proud authoritarian pretend-certainty representing the success in disabeling your critical faculties the violence of the education system has inflicted upon you… that you use as a platform to make leaps of faith in which you pretend to understand something without doubt you know nothing about. i resent how comfortable you are in your ignorance. have some intellectual humility. i don't know much myself but it didn't took me too long to find something that prevents me from assuming your level of arrogance.

>>i guess you don't know how to make yourself feel good
>I do, with entertainment.
my estimation of the chance that you have found the spiritual wealth inside of you that all the religions try to point at, even if they do involve all the fiction of group-dynamic theater: 0%. entertainment is trash compared to just effortless feeling complete because you realize that it is your birthright and you have everything inside you to self-generate happiness. you use entertainment to fill a hole that i closed up myself. you have spiritual malnutrition and you resort to survive with prepacked survival food of entertainment. if you already felt complete, you wouldn't hope for the scraps of pleasure that fiction may or may not provide for you.

>and yet you still ended up here with people like me who do the exact opposite so what good was this?
you don't respect yourself it seems. i guess that's unimportant to you and you only care when others respect you.

>at the end of your life you will die regardless and whatever garbage you stuffed your brain with will be gone forever.
the problem with this statement is that healthy people don't see it that way so when you say
>my health is very good but that doesnt matter overall anyway,
i am inclined not to believe you. i picture you overweight. i can't know for sure but how much you struggle with holding your weight mentally to me represents a strong indication that you have the same trouble physically.

>What are the consequences of someone coming home from their job and sitting down to read a novel or play a game for an hour or two before going to bed?

the consequences would be losing precious time in the difficult task to live a human life to the fullest and potentially accepting unacceptable conditions of a soulcrushing job that people should pay way better so you could work it way less.

what would be the consequences of you instead of numbing yourself with fiction trying to fill a hole that is bottomless you would dare to live the life of your dreams and go for what you REALly care for and master everything your inner child was curious about instead of resorting to the sad consolation price that is fiction. what if you undertook the difficult mental process of getting in touch with all the parts of you, not just the easily accessible convenient socially acceptable FICTIONAL parts of yourself that you hide behind.

>the point of art isn't to be of practical value. It's a form of human expression, something that is somewhat fundamental to our (maybe not yours? lol) species going back thousands of years.

yeah you could look at what other people have done sure why not, but not all life long. there is a superior approach to this though, which is becoming the art, making everything the art, having your entire day be the art and make new art all day every day, compose fresh sentences every chance you communicate instead of just repeating normalcy back at normal people. that's like typing every single letter yourself instead of just copy pasting default sentences. embracing individuality and leave the save limits the group wants you to assume while they are getting ready to sacrifice you as cannon fodder.

>You are twisting a normal form of human interaction into something maladaptive to prop yourself up as superior.
i consider normality to be the twist, of you not bothering to question the cruel cultural past of humanity and how it made you end up in the current gene pool and what a curse on humanity you might be by remaining unconscious in this regard.

why, you believe in following others in every other regard, why when it comes to this you make an exception all of the sudden. but regardless of you pretending to care about agency when clearly it is an afterthrought to you while you repeat the "humans are a social creature" narrative, you also don't care about improvement and you don't care about self improvement. this seems like a theater production, which i can appreciate in spirit. if you want to be more independent i applaud you but i don't think you want to. you want safe numb conformity and brainrot.

How do you deal with isolation? My parents split and sold our family home, so I was pretty much forced to find my own place. Even though I didn't speak to my siblings or parents too often, I can't help but miss coming back to a full house after work. I always thought it would be easy and that I wanted to be alone, but I guess going from living with people my entire life to suddenly being completely alone screwed with my head. It is so quiet here I feel like I am going to go insane.

I feel like i can break down figures down into simple shapes with ease, but all those shapes are flat. I can draw from life and draw what I'm seeing, but i feel like it's just me breaking things into flat shapes again. I can't feel, or visualize or express things in a 3d space.

I feel like it's hindering my ability to shade properly, hindering my anatomy, and is making me completely incapable for drawing anything complex like a body in different perspectives (like top down)
Yes i do studies from life pretty often, ranging from simple shapes to human figures. I have attempted drawing each frame of an object rotating before, but it still doesn't help me visualize
Is there ANYTHING i can do to address this problem that doesn't default to "study from life" or "do still life", because rest assured i already try to do those as a part of my consistent practice. Is there anything i can do to face the problem head on, or do i continue studying and hope that one day my brain will finally start working with me?

 No.71046

I also problem with drawing bodies in general I can do the head decently but the rest of the body specially the arms and shoulders always look unnatural and odd to me when I draw them

I remember watching Glenn Vilppu drawing and feeling like I was beginning to understand what it means to "feel" form. Watching more experienced artist draw can help you too. I recommend Vilppu and Michael Hampton.
If you watch enough people figure draw, you'll notice that some people start with gestures while others focus on contours. There isn't a definitive drawing style, but by modifying your process, at least temporary, you can gain a new perspective on drawing.
I have been copying drawings from Bridgman's Complete Guide to Drawing From Life. His figures make it easy to see how the forms of the body interlock into each other.
Beyond that, I think it boils down to mileage. By studying and drawing a lot, the small bits of knowledge you pick up will add up and start becoming noticeable.

advertisement is repetitious. most people don't understand or make use of repetition themselves for their own benefit. they do live in a world where others repeat things in their face without their consent though. it annoys them but they think nothingn of it… consciously. whatever gets repeated the most to someone, automatically wins the attention of the subconsciousness.

i look at people who don't use adblock like they are an inferior species to me. like they are the dying last few survivors of a species unfit for survival.

i love my body, while everything around me crumbled and every friendship vanished it has been a miraculous source of strength and unstoppableness. it has been loyal, supportive and pleasant even before i learned what difference proper breathing breathing, proper food and deeper levels of nervous system connection have on the human body. i have fasted countless times, i believe in it wholeheartedly. everyone interested in fasting, please feel encouraged to pursue the interest, it is worth it just in terms of the mental clarity that fighting and winning against the temptation will bring into your life. i practice prevention, i am never sick, i rarely feel bad and if i do, it is usually because females behave horribly towards me, conspire against me and abuse me. i can't be in love with my body in public because females in their limitless aggression will detect the emotional state and try to violently intercept and capture the emotional energy and nourish themselves from it like the vampires they are.

i have read most of the thread. i have been mocked for my choice of food relentlessly by people who now feel like the people in this thread: miserable. i tried to warn people, i tried to spread the word how good what i have is, almost nobody cared. here is the next thing you will regret calling me a quack about once the knowledge finally trickles down in to the sewers where it can reach you: you think the human body can regenerate 5% or 10%. it is more like 60%, 80%, 95% of what can be healed.

I try and try like I really do to be a wizard but unfortunately keep heading into becoming a crab. As someone who can't afford to NEET and will just die on the side of the street if I do so, I have to unfortunately go out into the real world and try to get a job and maintain a "social life".

And that is the worst part about it, I simply don't get it, a friend of mine wanted to meet another friend and he wanted me to go to club with me, now why did I agree? Because I wanted a referral for a job. Apart from that clubs in my country are horrendous for sub-3 men like me because they don't let people like me enter because of "dress code" when in reality you look ugly, short, singly, and the whole nine yards.

I got a referral so that's a good thing if it materialises into a job. But what I saw in club is not something that I have not known but to see it happen it still caught me like a deer in the headlights, basically I knew that this friend of friend is going to be a piece of shit because he is a club-goer.

But when I saw him literally just go up to a bitch and started making out with her continuously then going to the toiled and then coming back, and then actually showing me his Instagram and Snapchat about fucking a succubus 5 times one day, and fucking 10 different succubi in 10 days and sharing nudes on Telegram by starting out with the message "New Pussy around my Dick.".

God bless him for giving me the referral which probably won't materialise into a job but for some reason I wish I never met him, I saw a weird kind of primal expression on the faces of succubi, the man was 6'4 and had a chiseled face. And when I came back home I swear to god, I couldn't drive the car straight. Like I was about to crash 3 times, not because I was driving fast, but I was so pissed and my mind was just thinking about like what the fuck? I had to struggle for every single ounce of thing in life, and there are guys like this who just do what? Fucking exist?

Honestly, at that point years of thinking "I am never going to think about cunts" and months of trying to be a fucking monk only to enter a state of ragebait, I swear to god, when I returned in the night I was awake for a total of 48 hours just raging like a mad man and screaming into the damn mattress. Like what the fuck? How in the blue hell is it so easy for these kind of people? And this guy has cheated on every single cunt who was his GF. And has fucked over 40 succubi litePost too long.

-beta male chink has a relationship with the country side white chick who looks like a model
-irish ginger chad hooks up with a mexican latina
-white dudes who are lovers aka gays
-white men who are shown as evil bigoted and racist
-niggers shown as emotionally vulnerable despite being 6 feet gorillas
-subplots that don't matter and add nothing to the story
-overacting
-gay drama
-overacting
-senseless gorefest

-dumb cannibalism for no fucking logical reason
-characters whose death mean nothing
-overacting
-senseless gore
that's the loop and mix it with gay nigger shit and meaningless tropes and subplots and characters
also that's just the top off my head from what I remember

iCarly, Hannah Montanah and other Disney garbage with canned laughter that I often had to watch because of frequent family gatherings where female cousins took hold of the remote and my parents wouldn't let me fuck off somewhere else. Other than that I don't consume a piece of media if I don't like it or I feel that I won't like it, doesn't matter if a bunch of people on the Internet say that you MUST watch/play/read it. If after the hype fades away the thing completely disappears from collective memory it means I was right, if it's still relevant or develops a niche following I reconsider giving it a chance, until then I can wait.

Will anyone remember animes like My Deer Friend Nokotan, tv shows like The Walking Dead, movies like Avatar 2&3, the books of George rr martin or videogames like Cyberpunk 2077 in the future? Not if they will remain relevant, but if anyone will even bother to remember them as a hidden gem that used to be popular, instead of shit that was popular for astroturfing or viral memes.

Finally watched Alien: Romulus. But before watching it, I went back and watched all the Alien movies. I'm a huge fan of the original and can pretty much quote the entire thing from memory. It took me a week to watch them all. Here are my unsolicited opinions on each.

Alien (1979) — Almost a perfect horror film imo. The plot is nothing to write home about, but the set design, the alien design, and the atmosphere are perfect. It's one of the most hauntingly beautiful labyrinths to ever grace the silver screen. The amount of detail in every inch of the Nostromo and LV-426 is amazing. The idea of having blue-collar characters made the whole thing work. One of my favorite movies of all time.

Aliens (1986) — A generally fun, competently made, but ultimately dumb blockbuster movie. Compared to the original, it's a downgrade on every level. The characters are flat, samey, and uninteresting. Obvious bad guy doing bad guy things. The design of the ship and interiors is functional, but not nearly as beautiful or interesting as in the first movie. It's not a bad movie, but it pales in comparison to the original. The "perfect organism" is also shown to be completely pathetic, stupid, squishy things.

Alien 3 (1992) — If Aliens is a competently made movie with boring ideas, Alien 3 is a movie with some good ideas but clunky execution. The characters are interesting for the most part, and the dialogue is way better compared to the second movie, but it's mostly the formula of the first movie: a monster killing the cast one by one while everybody else runs around inside a sci-fi labyrinth in despair. It doesn't really add anything to the universe either. Still, it has some cool ideas in there.

Alien Resurrection (1997) — Awful, shitty characters that have nothing interesting to say. Ripley is basically a new character played by the same actor, and the new character is shit. It's full of goofy moments and idiotic plot points that make no sense. The special effects and set design are mostly OK, but the dialogue and plot are garbage. Characters have to constantly drop exposition dumps just to make sense of whatever is going on. The only interesting character in there is Gediman. They really drove Ripley into a corner with this one. No wonder they pretty much dropped the whole thing and started making movies set in other points of the timeline.Post too long.

I've felt suicidal since 14 years old high school was so miserable and dark for me, I had social anxiety and hid in the bathroom I never made eye contact with anyone I always looked at the floor. I believed that I would kill myself before high school ended but I had no method and just thinking of suicide made me scared. Now I'm 25 I never attempted suicide I don't even own anything to do it with. I worked a menial soul crushing job for a while I felt getting a job and being a adult might be what I need but I detested working and went back to neeting. I feel hopeless I never want to work, my brain is foggy, I'm tired all the time. I have anhedonia, I feel like I'm in a dream, I'm not scared to kill myself anymore just too lazy too comfortable rooting away. I feel guilty that I'm just a burden to my mother and that I will hurt her when I kill myself. Depression use to have a comfortable melancholic feeling for me, I loved listening to music which reflected my mental state. That comforting feeling does not exist anymore, I always feel restless every dream I have is a nightmare, I know it can't go on like this, as much as hate myself I really don't deserve to live like this I enjoy nothing every day I just surf the web trying to make the hours pass, I don't play games anymore my attention span is too short. my mother does not deserve to have a leeching son. I wish I lived in America so I could just shoot myself that seems so easy. I wish for a heart attack or something

I use Linux on a laptop and I actually like the desktop environments, so no text-based distros for me. I don't think using GUI's to do certain stuff like distro installation is necessarily a bad thing, but you really need to know how to use the terminal if you want to experience the freedom and flexibility of Linux.
You can't use Debian-based distros on a lot of ancient laptops anymore with them having dropped i686, this was really bad for retro tech. Well atleast you can still use the Thinkpad T60.

i'm not saying switch to a text-based distro, i'm saying once you stepped into the arena (on a virtual machine or on a spare laptop for example) you will be glad you did it. because once you felt how nice text-based is you can cherry pick situations on which to choose text over graphics. i wish i did this sooner, don't repeat my mistake is what i am trying to say. text-based is awesome i regret staying so long on graphical. graphics are bloat!

>What do you mean the entire idea of relying on others for mental help is a carryover from when you were a kid?
Because it's what babies and distressed children do as a result of them not having the cognitive abilities to rationalize why they're feeling bad, then form solutions to the problems or conclude that such sadness is inappropriate to feel at the given situation.
>Is absolutely any kind of emotional pain and suffering something trivial that you can fix yourself?
Yep! How, pray tell, can you even conceive of a way in which anyone [b[BESIDES[/b] yourself can possibly heal your own mental anguish? Nobody has access to your inner thoughts, nor a way to measure the the scope and unique attributes of what you're feeling beyond what you can only vaguely explain through simple language. Your mental state is a machine that nobody - not even you - has the blueprints to, but you alone at least have the ability to look under the hood and try to deduce though reasoning what might be wrong with it.
>If you break your leg or hurt yourself badly otherwise, do you also refuse medical attention because you can fix it yourself?
Bad comparison; everybodies' bones get damaged and heal the exact same way. Their state and progression is physically observable. I don't go to the doctor and describe with words the exact intricacies of the pain and suffering I'm feeling at the break, and then have him try to figure out a catered healing procedure for my particular unique variety of bonehurt. I get the same bandage as everyone else and it works.
>But see, you admit that there's also real, helpful psychotherapy out there if you call the bad kind pseudo-therapy
The "real" psychotherapy I'm referring to is the kind I described: that which comes from within. External psychoptherapy is pseudo-psychotherapy because it can only do one good thing, and that is to convince a man to use his own brain to sort his own issues out. Commercial psychotherapy can only work to defeat its own necessity. It can also fail to do this, and lead men in to believing that they aren't curable without them even being given the idea to introspect. So it either "works" by proxy or fails in a catastrophic way that incurs hopelessness on the man who becoPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

So if someone gets an infection and goes to the doctor to have their disease cured, they're a distressed child?

Uhh, by sharing it?
>Bad comparison; everybodies' bones get damaged and heal the exact same way.
Nah, it's not a bad comparison at all. And no, bones do not get shattered and require the exact same steps to heal, there are dozens of factors to consider. The same goes for any disease
>that which comes from within. External psychoptherapy is pseudo-psychotherapy
If all the answers to everything you've ever imagined always came from within, people wouldn't ever feel the need to share knowledge, share thoughts and emotions and help each other. You can't do everything on your own. Historically, if everyone did nothing but trust their inner monologue for everything, there would be no progress or civilization in any form, everyone would just be a total mute for 80 years, record no knowledge, achieve nothing groundbreaking and then die for nothing
>If the psychotherapist says stuff like "Don't worry, always remember happy day", and that cures the man
That's not what happens in psychotherapy. You can't even use that example for the purpose of a simplified comparison because it's not even remotely what happens during psychotherapy

What level of mental retardation are you operating on? Do you not understand basic English? You've missed the point so entirely that you've strawmanned the argument in to one you're actually able to refute. The entire point of that segment of the discussion is to differentiate "sad feels in my brain" from "actual physical damage to the body", and how the treatment protocols for each aren't simply interchangeable. If you believe those to be the same thing fundamentally and therefore that they can be treated the exact same way - with casts and pills - then you may as well double your dose of whatever SSRIs and other feel-good drugs you're taking so that people on the internet don't need to have their time wasted by your inability to think in simple abstracts.
>Uhh, by sharing it?
That's not what was asked. I asked for treatment. Treatment beyond the therapist saying some basic reassuring shit. You again also missed the point that words can only go so far, and the ears of the listener can only take in so much. Unless the psychotherapist has felt the exact same depression that her client is feeling at the time, and the client manages to express his anguish with total eloquence and completeness, there will always be massive gaps between how the man feels and what the doctor knows. But again, regardless of how well an understanding forms, it still begs the question of exactly what the fuck can psychotherapists do to cure depression?
>bones do not get shattered and require the exact same steps to heal, there are dozens of factors to consider.
Actual bathtub shitter autism on display. A REAL DOCTOR HAS XRAYS, MRIs, BLOOD TESTS, AND YEARS OF HEALING THE SAME BONE all to give him the answer as to what needs to be done. A "mental health doctor" has the current facial expression and selection of sad words to work with when determining the severity and reasoning behind her client's depression. The real doctor can fulfill his duty to heal the bone consistently. The psychotherapist's chance of success is in the hands of the patient, and his ability to compose his feelings and expose his inner traumas or whatever.

It is normal. To take advantage of and to be taken advantage of is akin to inhaling and exhaling. Those who allow themselves only to exhale will be empty and tired. Those who only inhale will be full of hot air. It is important to balance being on the giving and receiving end of advantageous gestures.

How do you go about this? I'm still a mage in my early 20s. Never got any formal education or anything.

it is not. while there are plenty of fucked up parts, you are a fool for not trying to get in contact with the good parts: access to tools has never been better in human history. i go to the supermarket and for the price of what one cup of coffee and a piece of cake will cost you in the bakery you can get a massive wrench or a screw driver set or a saw or a drill or a set of files. if you are dot-it-yourself minded then this time is amazing and i can not understand any poor person who is so stupid as to let himself be mesmerized by consumerism porn (advertisement) into wanting everything pre-built. that is completely the wrong approach. don't buy pre-build, YOU BUILD. you can build your own empire out of other people's trash but you are too busy crying because you want social status, which isn't real.

Hey wizzies, I feel the need to classify and understand myself but I'm having trouble with that.

I stay inside when possible but I regularly have to go to appointments (therapy, psychiatry). I am forced out of my shell by obligation. I isolate at home but keep a functional tether to the world via appointments. I do not go outside for fun, I have no IRL friends but some online. I have enough food at home to last me 3 weeks so I don't need to get groceries or accept deliveries. I am very scared when outside. I am NEETing and depend on rehabilitation money.

I also have avoidant personality disorder. This is a good description, but I think it misses some things. Avoidant personality disorder and social anxiety are related and often coincide, but you can still have AVPD without any social anxiety at all. The avoidance stems from a desire to avoid traumatic rejection. Even if you are not anxious at all in interactions you can still have AVPD because you avoid people due to not wanting to get rejected by them. It particularly comes down to wanting to avoid any sort of actual relationship with a person. Random normies that you just interact with at a store or something are usually just subject to social anxiety, but social anxiety is treatable. I know because I tried hard and managed to make a good deal of progress. I still have social anxiety but it's a lot less than it used to be. Avoidance still just as bad though. I think it stems from a feeling that deep down I am unlikable so the more someone comes to know me, the worse things will be for me (as understood by the crazy part of my brain). This triggers a desire to avoid people and it gets stronger the more time I spend with them.
