positivity-max as a pessimistic wizard Anonymage 01/20/25 (Mon) 09:26:11 No.316786 [Reply]

For the longest Time i had none other than my Parents to share my problems with and they Would Always say stuff like:
"Everything Will be alright, just be positive"
And for The longest Time i believed that was bull shit, to think our thoughts could influence reality and our outcomes in life, and lately After another conversationv with my father where he said the usual stuff of "everything Will be alright for you as Long You remain positive and optimistic"
I thought to my self why don't i become positive and optimistic just in order to relieve my present anxities? even if maybe it's all dogshit and the universe is indifferent about your thoughts and such, but of course when you are a life Time pessimist, it's not easy to change your mindset, even if it's just wanting to delude my Self.

A random positive thought: electronics are cheap these days; you will probably get your niche as a "prompt engineer". Autist's experience should help you to shape well thought, logical prompts - something neurotypicals with fluid speech seem to struggle with.

I always think is funny those delusional people that says "autism is my superpower" or "my high neuroticism or mental illness x is my super power", like bro, you have a disability, and it's called disability for a reason, the better route would be finding a way to minimize the illness effect on you.

Because you zoomers were born at the worst time for nerds. There was a kernel of truth for that claim 15-20+ years back when not everything was automated and certain behavioural traits, generally associated with nerds/outcasts, were useful for certain tasks that normalfags either found boring or took a level of critical thinking and effort that was below their normalfag status.

Now that all those things are automated or the complexity has been taken out of the tasks, it's just a mental illness/disability with no upsides. It's even worse actually since back then nerds/outcasts didn't have normalfags claiming austism as a badge of honour.

Complete some sort of creative project that is good enough that I will be remembered after I am dead.

See the grand canyon with my own eyes.
See Japan with my own eyes.
Go on a cross country adventure.

Put down some of my martial art's knowledge in a proper training manual that other generations can learn from even after I am physically incapable of teaching anymore.

Working on my writing skills currently, as well as saving up a significant amount of money for future adventures.
So it's not just wishing and hoping while not doing anything.
I am actively working on such goals, at least in the background.

I don't know where to make this thread Anonymage 08/30/25 (Sat) 22:55:49 No.321282 [Reply]

I have manga and books but I don't want to read them because I'm afraid to move on to something bigger if I read. I also don't want to waste my time but I stay on internet 24/24 7/7. it is a weird effect: when I'm on internet, I see it like a virtue and something good being on internet but when I want to do an hobby (read, play video game, drawing, etc..) I see it as a waste of time…it should be contrary, I don't know why I am lile this.
I wanted to ask you, wizards, how do you make yourself read books?(mostly about the hobby: reading)

I don't know where you got this idea. And it's not true that japanese hikikomori literally never go outside. Some of them do rarely, even the guy from Welcome to the N.H.K went outside sometimes.
There's also the fact that I disprove your post by existing since I haven't gone outside in months.

Not really. But apparently I have something akin to burnout. I have physical negative reactions when I am at work. My eyes get this glazed over feeling where I'm unable to focus on my monitor, my mind shuts down, I get some restless feeling in my back between my shoulder blades that makes me want to run out of the place and my eyelids start twitching. Only happens at work or when I'm on my way to work pretty much. So not a disability but I don't think OCD or PTSD really qualify either. More of a mental condition that makes it difficult to function.

Hallucinations as you fall asleep Anonymage 06/05/25 (Thu) 05:03:05 No.319768 [Reply]

Anyone else here deal with hallucinations as they drift off? For me they come in episodes, usually it's just some sudden noise like the sound of a dog shaking its fur or a loud creaking like someone is jumping on my bed and I will wake up in a panic. This usually repeats multiple times until I finally fall asleep properly. More rarely I also get these half-asleep nightmares where I will see some shadowy script moving on my walls, I can sit up and try to look at it and usually I know it's not real and then it kind of dissipates as I wake up fully. It's just kind of annoying, has anyone here dealt with this or any tips on how to get rid of it?

I think freeter is inevitable for wizards, since regular work is very difficult and taxing on health (freeter more forgiving) while keeping interactions somewhat managable.

Boomer movie habits Anonymage 04/14/25 (Mon) 09:31:38 No.317967 [Reply]

Why do Baby Boomers seem to have no taste for movies before their time? Not even before their time, but before their 20s or even 30s. In my personal life I've never seen one bother with any movie from before 1965, or even before 1970 for a lot of them, and they all speak of old movies from before then with a tone of total contempt. They grew up with old cowboy movies and seeing John Wayne, but as adults seem to have zero nostalgia for those films.

Contrast that with Millennials, and even older zoomers, who grew up watching 80s movies, and remember them fondly and still soyface over them hard. 1980 is as far away from the present as 1935 is to 1980.

Was stuff like Casablanca and Little Shop Around the Corner playing on TV all the time in the 1980s? It just seemed like the late 1960s was a hard cultural reset and for that generation, they put away their childhood to a degree Millennials never did, to a point where they don't even venture into that territory at all for nostalgia.

Like I'm sure some of it is young people are peter pan syndrome man-children who can't move on, but at the other end it's uncanny that all the fondness boomers have for culture comes from their early adult life instead of childhood.

My opinion is, 1950s/1960s movies and muzik were divided in 2 categories:

* movie theaters grade color movies + background music for malls like Muzak

* soap operas on 1950s tellies + traditional pop on the radio, "adult contemporary" beautiful music/easy listening

Both were, probably, overused.

Besides, Star Trek and Star Wars have changed the game of drama by employing merch.

The baby boomers mostly grew up in the 50s which was a time when Hollywood was struggling. After WW2 people had largely moved out of the cities, where theaters were the largest form of entertainment, and into suburbs where they partook in other hobbies. At the same time, the television was invented and popularized, which added competition to the movie industry. Compare this to the 80s-90s, when Hollywood was having a boom with major blockbusters, and VHS made it so that people at home could watch their favorite movies again and again. The younger generations also saw the rise of streaming services, where companies heavily leaned into nostalgia for advertising. Subscribe to Netflix and you can watch all your favorite movies from your childhood!

For what it's worth my boomer parents are both somewhat film buffs, especially my mom, and they showed me a lot of classics and interesting older films. I don't think they are typical examples of the generation though.
