Any other wizards here that have trouble with speaking "normally" or pronouncing certain letters? This kind of thing occurs naturally to normalfags and it really is just something that should come inherent to everyone. I've had times when I think I'm talking normally but people tell me to stop yelling, or other times when I think I'm talking in above average volume and people tell me I'm being silent. I also struggle to pronounce the letter "s" properly and sound like a spazz which has made me actively avoid certain words. It's just another one of those things that has made me realize how we and normalfags live in an entirely different state of existence. I remember how Chris Chan used to get bullied for his voice among other things, I'm not sure if it is an autistic trait or a consequence of my reclusive life but it has made my anxiety in public worse, and has also totally ruined my dreams of starting a music project one day

Yeah I got a bad retard lisp, combined with an aspie monotone. i got problems with the S, and especially sticking the tongue for the th sounds.

I got sent to speech class since 1st grade, one of the few places where i got professional intervention for being fucked up. but years of it didn't make a difference.

later on when i tried to be a class clown lolcow, kids thought that i was faking a cartoonish voice, and some claimed to have heard my "real voice". As long as I'm stuck with a retard lisp might as well let them think its intentional comedy. I try to talk like a dumb guy like Patrick Star of Spongebob.

I got constantly mocked for my lisp or speech impediment as a kid, it leveled off by high school and was never mentioned by college.

But its not like the problem was ever fixed. Adult still hear the same retard I was in 1st grade. So they make the same internal judgement on me. Just without the mean honesty of kids.

All the shit that attracted mockery and bullying of kids was never fixed, and while adults don't openly acknowledge it, they judge it internally. sometimes they think its an accent or something.

The isolation, stress, and nerves you carry around with you can betray you, OP.

When I was younger a few years ago, I remember I used to have nervous tics that came and went: Once, while waiting for the bus after classes at my college, I stood next to a classmate. I had been a NEET for over a year before getting into uni and my social skills were shit even before that. I had nothing to talk about and used to made inappropriate comments trying to be funny. That time, while trying to talk to him (he started the conversation), I had an involuntary movement in my lower jaw. It started to shake, and I couldn't control it. He asked me what it was, and I obviously said it was nothing, but I knew very well that it was something mental.

I believe if you are on here then like myself you believe yourself to be a deeply flawed person on such an advanced level that the idea of finding someone on a romantic level is not even in the realm of possibility, and friends are very temporary visitors in the world of adulthood. This is all well and good but I am looking at,at least 30 more years of this. How are the fellow wizzies coping without basically falling into a spiral of self pity and resentment? I would like to ideally just think "it is what it is.. some people are meant to be the outcasts" but I am having difficulty when looking at the stretch of time I am going to be feeling lonely in. How do other sorcerers and sages feel when confronted with this idea of a decades of loneliness ahead?

I don't understand people who say we live in incredible times or that the world is getting better (pedophile morons like Steven Pinker, to put it mildly).
This image. This aberration to the eye. This is how 50-80% of the population lives in the most powerful and richest nation on the planet (or at least close to/similar to this).
This is the "pinnacle" of 6,000 years of recorded civilizational history. If this is how the majority of the US population lives, imagine how poor and miserable the majority of humanity really is.
If it weren't for East Asia, the world would be even worse.

The past really wasn't that bad for the people that survived.

Looking into it, famines basically just killed off people under 4, the elderly, and people aged 20-40 almost universally survived. Like even the potato famine has only 2% of the 20-40 year old cohort die, 1/50 is pretty good survival odds for your core productive and breeding population. That's like 1 person out of two classrooms, and it probably hit the really poor and lower classes. It looks bad with 18% of the population dying on paper, but considering people over 50 don't have kids and kids under 4-10 can be replaced instantly with a post war baby boom, it's demographically not that impactful. It's why Ethiopia's population doubled so rapidly after their famine, and India bounced back from the Bengal famine like it was nothing.

In World war 1, 16% of the French male population aged 18-45 died, making it significantly more demographically impactful than the Irish potato famine, because they were at the age where they were supposed to be having families and providing.

Famines weren't even people really starving to death that often. They mostly got killed off by an infection due to having a weakened immune system, or ate some risky food and got a disease that way. Famines seemed to displace people who then go into crowded cities, drink shitty water, and then get an infection. Famines seemed to hit once every 15 years or so, so typically you'd experience two really shit years in your adult life and then finally get dealt to in the third one as an old person. It more fucked up your family planning than anything else.

It seemed to have an economically positive effect for the actually healthy and productive part of the population in that it cleared away dependents. Immediately after the famine there'd be more available land per person and the available resources for a baby boom.

Life extension won't mean shit if people can't physically do work. Already a lot of the physical jobs involving repetitive strain, people can't do after the age of 50. Basically anyone at work in a non-managerial, non-cognitive role is functionally a liability after the age of 65. The way our cells work means you can't just have a magic drug that makes people healthy enough to work, aging and degradation is built into the human experience. If anything our raised life expectancy is exacerbating the issue and causing more dependents.

>You're underestimating how poor the current response is. Antinatalism is common.


This is like 10 times worse than the Irish potato famine demographically and people should care. Combined with the debt and pension crisis, this will absolutely collapse the global economy.

Yeah, I've meant something more like genetic modification to stop or massively slow down aging. Replacement organs for every old person would be another straw on the camel's back, since their aged brains keep them out of the workforce. I'm not keeping up with the life extension stuff, but I think youthful blood, which could be cultured has a rejuvenating effect.

I literally got top employee performance of the year two times in a row for exemplary performanceby corporate (not to mention I do unpaid overtime)

And yet because I don't participate in their coffee room gossip and office bullshit (mind you these people are about 20% as productive as me) they want me to lose my job because I don't "match the energy of the community".

Do I just have to suck it up and kms, before I become homeless? Since without a salary that's going to be within 12 months.

suicide is the best thing you can do in your life. you can never go wrong by doing it. the only reason people won't do it (besides obvious reasons like instinct of self-preservation and fear of unknown) is because they think there is something good ahead in their life and you just have to wait a little. and so our life is wasting like this, eternally awaiting while going through phases of misery and humiliation over and over again until you're dead from "natural" cause.

I like to think about it as a form of control. If I manage to have the means to end it all quickly if something very bad happens, like:
>get broke and unemployed
>contract severe illness that will make me suffer for years, like cancer or some degenerative disease
I would be way more satisfied and secure about my life.

I mean, being a reclusive PC potato will only get you so far. You will become seriously ill eventually. Your brain won't just stop working and *poof* you're dead. Now a shotgun can do exactly that.

Isolation has carved me in its image and likeness. The presence of another person- of any person whatsoever - instantly slows down my thinking, and while for a normal man contact with others is a stimulus to spoken expression and wit, for me it is a counterstimulus, if this compound word be linguistically permissible. When all by myself, I can think of all kinds of clever remarks, quick comebacks to what no one said, and flashes of witty sociability with nobody. But all of this vanishes when I face someone in the flesh: I lose my intelligence, I can no longer speak, and after half an hour I just feel tired. Yes, talking to people makes me feel like sleeping. Only my ghostly and imaginary friends, only the conversations I have in my dreams, are genuinely real and substantial, and in them intelligence gleams like an image in a mirror.

The mere thought of having to enter into contact with someone else makes me nervous. A simple invitation to have dinner with a friend produces an anguish in me that's hard to define. The idea of any social obligation whatsoever attending a funeral, dealing with someone about an office matter, going to the station to wait for someone I know or don't know - the very idea disturbs my thoughts for an entire day, and sometimes I even start worrying the night before, so that I sleep badly. When it takes place, the dreaded encounter is utterly insignific ant, justifying none of my anxiety, but the next time is no different: I never learn to learn.

'My habits are of solitude, not of men.' I don't know if it was Rousseau or Senancour who said this. But it was some mind of my species, it being perhaps too much to say of my race.”

There's some truth to this, it's because we're living in the age of irony where sincerity has vanished. I would like to go back to a stage where I was scared to even look at the front screen of a porn website, where I immediately, consciously knew and felt that whatever was shown there is just 'wrong' and I would click it away not daring to take a closer peak. That's the form of being naive I would deem as dignity these days. Not in the sense that oh it's bad because succubi are objectified, not in the sense that porn is bad for your health or your brain, but simply a common sense knowledge that whatever is illustrated in porn is bad as it's ot natural. But this kind of naiviety is impossible to even think of these days, what has been unleashed can't be undone. I myself can't go back to it, it's been ver 18 years.

I love that paint jesus looks so alone and hopeless. Its not the matter of "Why god left me alone? I know it exist but why?" and its more like "were're my friends now? They even exist? They loved me?"
But yes i know the text is about social anxiety and human corruption.
People dont like quiet and calm people, even autistics people sometimes. They start to turn paranoid of you being arrogant or to much intelligent the moment you dont talk like or to them or dont have to much to talk. Being shy and nerveous with social anxiety is a shit.
Succubi sometimes are more hardcore to this, rare times are more empathic to this (bacause they're fucked up as child like)
Let's say there's to much social anxiety and neets, dehumanization is slowly the norm. People need a humanization process and find friends and love is hard sometimes. Stay up as a human everyday and not like a robot is a challenge.

the person who suffers most in this world is the person who has many wrong perceptions, and most of our perceptions are erroneous.
Then meditate on your perceptions, write this in a piece of paper "are you sure?" tape it in a wall And now practice deeply and observe your mental formations, the ideas and tendencies withing you that lead to speak and act as you do. Practice and at the end you find your true nature and how you're influenced by your individual consciusness, media, propaganda, collective consciousness, family, society, ancestors, bad experiences, traumas, etc. All are unwholesome mental formations made up by bad, confused and suffering people.

To be honest, I believe in the idea that potential shamans were actually schizos who, between the ages of 12 and 23, entered into a neuropsychological crisis and needed to learn mystical-magical techniques to endure their chaotic and miserable existence of bad feelings and emotions of fucked up neurochemistry.
The truth is, I think meditation and relaxation fixed my brain a little, and I don't use drugs.
Although I also read some scientific articles that said meditation can make people with mental disorders worse, I don't do it so intensely to a point of dissociation. The worst thing is that it even happens to normal people without problems lol.
