Post here if you don't have enough to say for a new thread, but it's too depressing for the crawl thread.

Most genius is autism combined with a moderate amount of psychopathy. Turns out inventive genius isn't really from the most cognitively talented, but simply the most alienated from the human experience and the most obsessive.

Elon Musk is a lolcow autist that completely makes an ass of himself, but he does well because he is both arrogant and hyper-fixates to an absurd degree.

Absolute nonsense. Autism is not at all genius. Autism is and always will comparable to Down's syndrome. If you want an all-encompassing word to prescribe to smart decisions and not being a braindead normalfag, invent a new one instead of flipping 'autism' on its head. Elon Musk isn't an autist - he has a weird personality, an addiction to mind-altering drugs, and enough money and sexual endeavors for the cameras to always be on him. Elon is just a horny nerd who made some smart business decisions. But I'm sure to an idiot who takes self-degrading memes seriously, any guy who isn't glowing with movie star energy 24/7 is an "autist". You could point the camera at any human on Earth and in no long while see them do something that "proves they're an autist (JUST LIEK ME OMG)".

>Elon Musk is a lolcow autist that completely makes an ass of himself

When does he make an ass of himself? In spite of him having a distinct personality, he really doesn't do anything that could come off as "milkable" as some faggot in to lolcow culture might say. He did have a drug-induced meltdown when his precious H1B Indians got the boot, but that only culminated in a few angry Twitter posts.

Elon Musk has dedicated threads on every lolcow website laughing at him and calling him a cow.

Many of the researchers that focus in on genius do comment on how most of them appear moderately autistic. Edward Dutton being one such person.

Is this doomerism or actually an attempt at online bullying and sadism on your part? I don't have a horse in this race, I don't give a fuck because I'm not a genius. But I do take fault with someone spreading lies and misconceptions so aggressively. Your full on aggression makes me think it's a trolling thing. If it's not trolling, there's no need to spike your blood pressure like that so pointlessly. Relax man.

Living without social connections and acceptance is a slow form of drowning in an ocean - similar to solitary confinement, my life was destined to be like this, you can preach self improvement but it's just delaying the inevitable, like trying desperately to not drown in the middle of Point Nemo.

I'm sickened and ashamed of even being alive, life is almost infinitely more painful than the tiniest sparse moments of fleeting pleasure - like specs of glitter amidst the grand canyon of despair. I wasted my life and there's nothing I can do to get it back. I self improve relentlessly, and it does nothing to improve my mood when the night descends and my despair rises to the surface - I feel like I can burst into tears almost every night, even sometimes during the day when my numbness recedes.

You ever see videos of normalfags coalescing? they seem so content and peaceful. That's truly the best feeling, something people spend their entire lives chasing man - being socially accepted is better than any drug or feeling.

I might just create one myself, never got round to replying to some of the posts in that thread.

Even though the threads are slow enough that they literally take months, it seems like the only place where you can talk about the general state of outcasts (most of the time). Everywhere else seems to spin out of control.

This is the classic "suicide general", where we discuss methods and say farewell to our fellow wizards, quite different from that other thread in the catalog.

I'm currently 26, almost 27 (rings a bell?). And I can't take it anymore. I will soon depart from life through hanging. I haven't done it yet because I live in a shithole and there are always people around making noise and being nosy. I will just wait till it's very quiet so I can go to the woods and end this miserable existence.

I don't care if it might "get better". Existence itself is a curse and we're all gonna die anyway. I've read enough pessimist books and life affirming books and I side with the former. I don't need your compansion, because the thought that I will soon disappear is the only thing that makes me happy. I'm not even sad because of this.

>>296511
So I bought an Helium tank last week and tried to see how it would work: it was bad.
It lasted 10 minutes and I had to open the valve more two times to make it last those 10 minutes (the tank loses pressure, after a while nothing comes out of it anymore and you obviously can't keep opening it while unconscious)
I've already thought to buy more tanks but if they do not last enough time all it will do is just a permanent brain damage.
So what's the solution?

Anyway, helium is great, it really tastes of nothing and it probably is the best method if you manage to make it work properly.
The last party lol

Be careful using helium meant for balloons. It may be mixed with oxygen to prevent asphyxiation. You're better off using nitrogen. Find the forum >>303381 mentioned, there's a guide there on inert gas asphyxiation.

The sole purpose of this post is to share the techniques and books I have accumulated over time to achieve relaxation and other things.
I have read about meditation, magic, ceremonial magic, chaotic and postmodern magic, anxiety therapies, and relaxation techniques. This thread is not a cure for all problems. I don't want to turn this into a blogspot, so feel free to ask whatever you want.
>Also
Remember that you can also search for the techniques I mention on the internet, on YouTube, or on WikiHow, where you can find help on how to perform these techniques and more tips.

Personally I have two main strategies to deal with stress:
1. My cat. When he lays on my lap or next to me on the couch I always feel relaxation and calm very fast.
2. Isolate in room, make it dark, close curtains, lay down, complete silence, close my eyes and put myself in some fantasy world and try to avoid any thoughts regarding the real world blending it off as not existing. Bonus points if falling asleep like that.

Cat whispers sounds and warm they give are a nice relaxation stim, when i alone, i sing to them like if there babys (yeah sound cringe but its a vugus nerve exersice maybe same as hugs)
Try Blink slowly to them, this nake them happy crazy its like a hug of confidence and love to them, dont do it to much sometimes they become little exalted or feared if you keep too much visual contact.
>2. Isolate in room, make it dark, close curtains, lay down, complete silence, close my eyes and put myself in some fantasy world and try to avoid any thoughts regarding the real world blending it off as not existing. Bonus points if falling asleep like that.
Curtains down for dark is good but let your place stay fresh in air every day. There' you say something interesting
>lay down, complete silence, close my eyes and put myself in some fantasy world and try to avoid any thoughts regarding the real world blending it off as not existing.
This is close to a Magick-Visualization-Meditation-Hypnosis techniques.
All techniques are related or same.

>Pathwork (by controlling mind -famous around ceremonial magician and magick)

Basically you make up a paracosm or fantasy world and try control it like a escenary or threatise, used in some hermetic Kabbalah practices (There's a rumor Tolkien used something like this)

>Active imagination (Jung)

by let imagination do random and not control it, swedenborg and Jacob Bohme have same or similar technique. Just let the mind play.

>Guided meditation (similar to hypnosis or same as focus)

if you use videos or sound or your voice trying to evoke sensations or places

>Guided Hypnosis (videos or do yourself with your voice and body gestures focusing)

It's completely fucking evil. I hate living in a world where it even exists, much less one where it's celebrated. It's something 99% of men do, they don't even think twice about it. I feel completely alienated from humanity because of this. Every time I read or hear something about it I get this pit in my stomach and a sense of impending doom. It used to give me panic attacks, but now it only fills me with unbridled rage.

What really pisses me off is how actually sexist it is in general. It's like a fucking passive. when succubi aren't directly sexist to us vocally, they do it "casually" by their presence alone if I say "Not really interested/don't care at all." or when you, god forbid, you have lots of hobbies. 3 goddamn decades of:

"Bro, we gotta get you pussy."
"Why aren't you married?"

Like, ok, let's say I do the deed, get "intimate" or whatever? is that gonna stop me from playing video games? reading goddamn Flash or something? I don't care about your snatch.

Just ordered supps. Since I don't go outside very much (and when I do it's usually during sun rise or when it's overcast) I suspect my vitamin D is low, and if not it will be with the coming winter.

I'm going broke, and I really don't know how to deal with this fact. I went to 4 doctors to treat it, but none of them worked, and no matter how many medications I took, I was never able to overcome this problem. But these only caused me terrible side effects, such as fatigue, weight gain, apathy, a lot of disinterest in everything, and alopecia, but they were never able to attack the impulses. Violence never stops.
Sometimes I blame my family for raising me in such a violent environment, but then I think it's better to bury the past and look forward. But sometimes it is difficult, since it is not about the violence of 10 or 15 years ago, it is about things sometimes from less than a week ago.

I feel like an alcoholic, where instead of keeping a place free of that poison, it is offered to me in all shapes, sizes, colors and flavors.

Smart mathy person (and a 6'3" absolute unit of a bloke), yeah, but when it comes to *feelings*, he's a massive "I don't care" meathead. He's blind to the *vibe* of relief or such. So every time I sigh in relief he reall has to ask me "WHY are you SIGHING?!?!"

He has the life experience to process regular, normal" emotions, but he is completely blind to serious dramatic moments of a small fella's life. Therefore, every time I have a strong emotion - and don't have the COMPOSURE to mask it… one more SNAFU moment happens.

Let's discuss strategies for getting rid of pessimistic thoughts. No negativity allowed in this thread.

I know this is a meme, but taking a shower can completely turn my mood around and make my worries go away, even if it's just for a couple of hours. Listening to uplifting and happy music is also very effective for me. Sometimes I have to force myself at first, but generally it changes my mood.

In my experience, crying also helps to release sadness, or even to try to let out the trapped emotion in my chest. After that, I'm tired and sleep for about half an hour. It's fairly effective, if you ask me.

Sleeping helps. Of course, it's major avoidance but my bed is pretty much the only place on this world where I don't feel any sort of negative emotion. Stress, anxiety, sadness, it all melts away once I am under the covers and have closed my eyes. I have even begun enjoying the feeling of drifting in and out of consciousness when I set short alarms for afternoon naps and keep snoozing, like surfing the tide of unreality. Dreams are also usually the only place I actually feel positive emotion and when I do it tends to linger and keep me going for some part of the day after.
I think this strategy only works if you've trained your brain to associate your bed only with sleeping though. I've never been someone who spends any waking time in bed to read or consume content or whatever, so my physiological reaction is pretty robust.

The only thing I've found works recently is escapism. I've been watching a lot of movies and playing games where I can really immerse myself in the story like good CRPGs or challenging games like romhacks. It's a delicate balance though because I suck at games so playing something too hard will just make me feel worse.

I used to have other hobbies that helped (different types of exercise) but I've grown to just hate them all. It's a negative feedback loop because now I'm fat and out of shape so thinking about doing those things again just makes me sad because I suck so much.

Some here are 30+ wizards and are in midlife crisis.

The site has never been even close to majority 30+. If you actually hit 30, you've earned your stripes. I turn 29 in 3 days, and I haven't felt the itch to post regularly for years. People forget that the expected lifespan for a male virgin is probably not the same as it is for an average person.

They called it 'crisis' for a reason. Mine also hit at 30, but I was too broke to buy a Mustang or get hair plugs or whatever.

How do you guys fight anhedonia? Do you have any experience with it?
I basically don't feel pleasure from anything except food, maybe. Stories, games, art don't really touch me at all and it sucks because I remember how much I loved escapism before and how it brought excitement, joy, sadness etc. Now it's all blank. I want to bring emotions back, want to bring excitement, joy, even sweet sadness would do honestly, I miss being profoundly sad.

Have any of you managed to revert to your older non-anhedonic self?

I find that missing a night of sleep helps anhedonia. NO fucking clue why. and it doesn't keep working (missing two nights of sleep in a row doesn't continue it). Wouldn't recommend doing it a lot.

Some drugs help but they always stop working once you build tolerance and then they never work well again I find

Other than i don't know. setting goals doesn't help in fact I would recommend against forcing yourself to do stuff you don't find enjoyable. It's like how trying to force yourself to sleep actually makes insomnia worse. You just end up associating frustration with the activity you want to do.

Life with anhedonai feels pointless. No pleasure, no point? Like why do anything. I just end up doing nothing
