When I was young I used to indulge in escapism by imagining a new life where everything goes right and I have no problems, but now when I think of it I simply see nothing. There is no possible path for things to go right, every single case and scenario would bring me to suffer.

I guess it's because I became more experienced and understood that everything has a counter-effect and that I was simply focusing on the things that happened to me. For example, I have very protective, obsessed and generally loser (in the normie sense) parents who were watching my every move and spoil me because to them I was the only thing that was validating their need to have a meaning. But even if I had paremts who let me do whatever I wanted, it still wouldn't have fixed my inner problems and all the change would have been swapping the surface problems for others.

At this point it's like a puzzle, trying to connect all the pieces in a way that everything would go smoothly. But even if I give myself endless liberty, like being born a billionaire with perfect health, I still can't solve it. In fact, I have come to the point of trying to change physical laws to see if it could work (not having to eat/sleep etc.) and I still can't do it. Existence is pain and pain is existence, it looks like. Truly, the perfect life is to never be born.

What do you guys think? Do you have an idea of a good life you could have been living if you rolled the dice the right way at birth?

I did think of this scenario when I was a kid, it's how I'd imagine 'society' would function in the far future. I find the idea deeply unapealling and haven't ever been able to come up with a reason as to why, except it's 'unnatural' which is just a cope for not having any reason.

I am not even that horny, a lot of the days I force my self to do it while not even being in the mood for it, it's just the most effective way for me to cope, masturbation is free, gives you instant pleasure and can burn for you many hours at the time, there are times when i find my self touching myself just so I can use it as a way to distract my self for my anxieties and negative thought loops, as soon as i start touching myself all my anxiety and negative emotions start to dissolve as much as i hate and it hate how much i overdo it, i can't deny it makes getting through my days easier when i can just touch my self for many hours instead of just sitting there being miserable feeling hollow bored to tears and empty or anxious and overthinking at worse, my point here is that I believe the addiction for me is a mere sympotom, something I use to escape my negative feelings and the emptiness of my daily life, thanks for reading my blogpost

such a strange plight of existence huh?

i sometimes wonder if my dopamine could self-regulate back to normal

i wonder how many decades i have spent half-present, half-lost in fantasy in my head or lingering tingles of whatever is left from the last wave of ecstacy.

once you get a hit in the day, nothing else can compare. it's hard to imagine a life without the cycle and the chase for more dopamine…

and let me guess, lucid dreams would just be an even more deep layer of escape?

(i know because that's what it has been for me, when I can manage to achieve them…. for the record I highly recommend it lol)

This post sounds like i'm wallowing with you but i genuinely wonder if this is just the best option for us to exist, have a bit of pleasure at least as we slowly slip through existence as a low-level untranscended wizard?

Police don't give a damn nowadays, they won't investigate anything nowadays unless you get murderered or are a member of a special minority group. I don't want to derrail with politics but yesterday some autistic 17yo frenchie got beaten to death after reporting to the police that they had assaulted him a few weeks prior, reporting with footage included that the police just ignored. what I'm trying to say is you can no longer rely on police for protection. I'm a hikikomori so I don't go out but if I had to I have some tools ready, something like a phillips screwdriver will give you plausible deniability if carrying weapons is not legal in your country (aka every country except USA). Of course only for intimidation and last defense, you should never start anything unless there's a serious threat.

I will move to another city as soon as possible and leave my house as little as I can. I gave up on giving them money since anons said it would be idiot, although some part of me still thinks it could work.

I thought about doing this before but realistically the cops would only call me a fag. I don't know exactly how the law works and it sounds like a too big headache for a dude who has only the money of his part time job and don't want his parents involved.

I am not in a position to move out and I always have to listen to complaints about everything I do
Its affecting my happiness quite a bit, its a good day when I dont have to interact with anyone for a day
As if I dont know im a failure
The complaining never stops
I was a Neet I got cried to alot for that, now im a student and I still get talks about finding a part time job the same way, despite me getting money
Its so tiresome
I once worked full time for over a year, it was such a bad time to me, I dont have the energy like normies do
The worst part about it all is my mom telling me I should move out if I dont like it
I want to move out very badly, but how can I when the few hundred I get a month is barely enough to live?
Even with a part time job it would not be enough
I dont see the situation changing anytime soon

Honestly, it really is quite crazy, not only that it's just while it gets very bearable outside in the night (although not anymore due to urban heat island effect) but the houses made of RCCs radiate heat till the morning, honestly, sleep deprivation is the worst part of it and has cumulative effects like while driving a car or riding a moped or simply the fact that you're not likely to pay attention when crossing the road. I have just come to terms with the fact that most important thing in life is just money, it's now how you look or what not, it's about having money.

I mean you try to sleep at night and you somehow manage to sleep for 2 hours and then you wake up and your entire neck is drenched in sweat and the t-shirt near the neck literally feels like someone poured water on it and no matter which position you sleep in it starts eventually burn your body and things get so bad that even if you do go to AC after it, you still feel incredibly hot and it feels like heat is literally in your bones. And it makes you angry and pissed off which further makes it extremely hard to sleep. Heat really is the biggest killer. I just hope some magic happens and heat goes to 60C wet bulb and I die instantly.

It has become extremely difficult to earn a good amount of money in a short period of time, you can't just go around selling stuff and become somehow wealthy everything is saturated including social media and marketing if you're lucky they will just give you an average income, it's like the entire world has been enslaved and accessing wealth is similar to accessing an exclusive legacy of privileged individuals who own real eastate, businesses and positions.

Absolutely, and there is this weird thing that even if you do get a job, the employers act as such that you have to prove your loyalty to them and their test is to give you a wage where you can't live, I mean just to give you an idea, I would be more than happy if I could earn just 200USD a month from the internet. But I mean earning online is honestly a race to the bottom and even there you have to grind and even after that there is no guarantee, but yeah I mean it's actually kind of crazy how heat feels like it feels like my bone is heating up and pricking up the meat around it. Death can't come sooner tbh.

Might just be one of the myriad of things from health issues to shit life syndrome, but I've been thinking maybe my small living space is affecting me.

Still live "at home" in a flat with my mom at 30, my room is 2.5m x 5m so 12.5 square meters. (134.549 ft²american)
With all the furniture I have a usable space of about 0.8m x 3m maybe, so less than 3sqm. (25.833 ft²)
Spend all day sitting at my desk anyways so whatever.

Been wondering if maybe this tiny space is part of the reason why I just don't do anything.
Do any of you have experience with living in a small space for a decade+?

Sounds like over pathologization of a something that is just common sense. Restlessness, irritability, difficulty concentrating, etc. are all just bullshit symptoms that could apply to anyone in any situation.
Yes, if you're couped up a tiny room for a prolonged period of time it gets boring and annoying and you want to go outside and have a change of scenery.
Nobody would say that you have "doctor's office-fever" which includes symptoms such as "irritability and restlessness".

Does anybody else live with family who have seemingly not a care in the world to be careful with your belongings?? It's incredibly annoying and often blood boiling. I have a lot of collections, and attempt to make models like tanks/planes/warhammer stuff and quite often my parents will "inspect" my room for whatever retarded reason and often break several items. I internally call my dad "The grabbler" he picks up delicate items with his full fist, all fingers perfectly alinged - like a special ed kid grabbing a pencil. As you can imagine, this often BREAKS anything even remotely fragile.

This has been an issue I've dealt with my entire life. I'd have my pokemon cards on a playing mat in my room, parents barge in and walk right on them despite them being able to walk around it, and I wasn't even in the way. Or other times where they would grab my school work with greasy/chocolate coated hands and get stains all over it. Also they love coughing and sneezing without any attempt to cover their mouths. You will see spit and mucus stains EVERYWHERE in the house. Especially on the shared computer screen, utterly disgusting.

I have tried everything to get them to be less dirty and more respectful and mindful but they just don't care, my mother is literally too stupid to understand, my father just doesn't care. I don't really want to move out either as it's not a possibility on my wages unless I want to live in a car or next to criminal social housing with even more disgusting people.

The list goes on and on about all the dirty behaviour they get up to. I might even jot down some greentext stories if I'm bored later

Try buying a Harry Potter themed "snitch" battery-powered decor, 7$ a piece.

Put it into an old glass pc case.
Instant distraction.


Besides, you could buy a semi-busted 20$ tape player with some chill, sleepy, lullaby-ish tapes…
…and a voice-activated outlet (12$ or so)

And attach some empty can full of steel nuts (0-2$) to your door so the loud "clang" would activate the outlet.

I got a very sad event and started to write things out of nowhere, like poems and short shitty ironic funny stories in my language, even some are sad or deppresive or even dramatic histories.
Sometimes i like to draw calligrams.
I shared it sometimes with randoms or people i know and they enjoyed it.
I doing this now like two weeks and i feel kind calm and in some way at times little happy after reading or laughing at my shitty work, i dont know why but i like it feels more fulfilling than doing nothing or focus much in fixing my sadness bacause sometimes i even got some smirk or laugh of people seing my art and they looks happy to me and that's everything to fill my day with their little spontaneous bacon of sunlight in this abyss.

No, i chill out now. i start the day writing or doing one of these thing like picrel and strangely elevates my mood a lot.
Maybe just the expression of art is therapeutic in a lot of ways. i know that this fix anything but the way elevates my mood is magical to me.
I stop a little with poems but i have a lot on a note i use it to write calligrams or time to time i re-read these to make a mind-laugh smile or something like that.
Its kinda evocative, its like i recalling a emotion from other time.
>thinking rationally again.
Maybe i think rationally everytime trying to get something healthy to my brain. staying everytime in the sad or deppresive mood of pure apocalyptic dissaster never gonna give anything good in the long run. the end of the race its the same, but its worth suffering to much during the race? some damn bad people just want the perpetuation of suffering.

I started in same way, use it, start writing sad things and later laugh off of your shit, you can read some poems of others and little by little start to find more laughable things or try more to write shitty poems. its not the result but the doing the thing, i never used crayons or color pcrabs as kid (just black pencils and etc) and in a way painting and writing with colors make me joy.

I’ve come here to bitch, wizards. I’m an apprentice barely, I suppose (22 years), but I will be a wizard (for multiple reasons and beliefs), so I like the site a lot. Anyways, I’m in despair and will be in utter and complete despair for two weeks.

My parents forced my NEET-ish ass into university because they mean well and don’t want me to die on the streets once they die but not only is university/studying not for me but I’m on med school of all things, I’ve already flunked more than one class since I started the career like 2-3 years ago, so shit isn’t going well, not only that due to a stupid retarded class I’m being forced to spend two, I mean TWO fucking weeks with normies to do sort of stupid social work in some shitty rural town that’s even more shitty than my already dog shit town (not rural), I can’t even go back home for a single day on the duration of that, I’m not sure if I’ll survive, thankfully due to my mental illness (Szpd) I’ll probably be able to detach and survive but it’s going to be horrible, I don’t even like sleeping, bathing etc on the house of my grandparents (probably the unique people whom I somewhat trust and feel “oka-ish” being around outside of my parents and older brother), I might not really feel stressed, despairing and such but I know it’s happening, I just can’t feel it due to being mentally ill, of course I can still get the somatic part anyways, so my stomach is a mess right now and I feel like shitting for 5 hours straight, my hands have trembles a bit too, it’s like I’m in purgatory or something, what the fuck did I do to deserve this ? I guess that’s what I get for being depressed and suicidal for years all the while still keeping up the lie that “I want to be a doctor” because I didn’t even think I would be alive to reach university or the career itself, nor did I have (or really have) goals or a job/career I wanted, it was easier to lie at the time and just kill myself eventually. Thankfully, I got better, and I’m even content with my life in general (which is the closest I can have to happiness, as I only get to feel emotionally happy here and there for a couple of minutes a few times per year), but now I’m stuck in this horrid situation. At moments like these, I kind of wish I could at least not be mentally ill, I would have found something I really wanted to do by now or would be able to push through this career even if it’s exclusively for the degree.

But such thinking is useless, I’m now sPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

you would probably stutter trying read your own post out loud in public, and it’s understandable since most people on this site spent years isolating in their room and lost any meaningful ability to communicate, being able to speak to normies without wanting to run away or shoot them in the head is a very difficult skill that needs to be practiced everyday to not be atrophied, most wizards cannot afford to speak to someone every single day, the fight or flight response is an annoyance at best and sweating or having a shaky voice is not going to save you from being beheaded by a normie anyways, nobody is going to give you a medal for making things harder for yourself, just take drugs and use any advantage you have to survive the horror of being alive, human bodies are imperfect, just because it’s natural for your body to release adrenaline in everyday situations doesn’t mean you should put up with it, just take the easy path

You probably should ask chatGPT/some other AI to cook a convincing literature club grade story on how horrifying it is to be a doctor.


Take 3 online tests to determine what kind of job you want to do.
Because, if youre afraid of blood and biohazardous materials (get infected once and you're in for a costy treatment)… but okay with being covered with coal and oil, then mechanical jobs are better for you than doctor ones.

 No.308578

Old people will form the overwhelming majority of the population in a few decades, so being a doctor sounds like one of the few jobs guaranteed to exist, if you're going to drop it don't expect to get a comfy job in the third world instead, unless you have rich or well-connected parents.

Again, that feeling returned, wondering why there was a kind of resentment within me. Memories surfaced of why things had to be this way. And well, my ego told me what my eyes had seen: that I was superior to the one who had prevented me from being myself.

Although it was all for naught, the sinister was already looming. But how can you banish something from your mind when it has become so fiercely ingrained?

Have you ever managed to rid yourself of a resentment that seemed to have become embedded in your mind?

It's hard to conceptualize, but I did it. Today, I have successfully rationalized it's a small group of people who got some Nietzsche-like mindset who would emotionally ask me "aren't you a [slang term for a male]?". And that doesn't reflect the values of 95-99% of males here, it's the most difficult 1-5% who assume everyone should be as competitive as *them* and who isn't, well, "their loss".

The relief is, it's not like most people would see something sussy in my behaviour, it's just a bunch of local country bumpkin »übermenschen« who would assume I was an anomaly in their »über«/»unter« dychtomy. No wonder I want to chop anyone asking this question given how sauerkraut this mindset actually is.


The moment I rationalized it was not about me I got some powerful relief. Thanks.

Try taking a day off, get a nice warm bath, feel safe enough to think about random stuff. Morning bath (1-2 hr) is a great tool for letting your mind wander without the extra adrenaline

Those retirement homes are some of the biggest scams out there. My grandmother was extremely rich, but sadly also stupid and mentally ill. She probably lost a couple million USD during her 3 year stay in one. The inheritance was basically 10k for each sibling when she died. Happened when I was 8 or so, found out just recently. It's quite infuriating that we could have had a decent safer life with that money put into good investments.

Gaza will be repeated. It will hit the west just as it has hit us, you played devils advocate and the devil will come to you, you willingly embraced the Antichrists henchmen for scraps and they shall come for you too, may God make you wake up or may you suffer the same fate. Did the western elites really think they can ally with Israel and not be treated the same by them once they are in a position to do so? I hope I am wrong for the sake of your children.
