/wiz/ - Wizardry

You describe this problem well. Lotsof good advice in this thread too. I could recommend some books and ideas I've found helpful (thinking is my number one issue too), but ultimately you're right that it probably won't help you - the solution is something you've got to experience yourself.

>>226994
Genuinely.

This is the very problem that keeps hauting me. I have this … *overthinking* issue, sure.

I have a job and have no colleagues so, I suppose, I have found a way to *live with it*

So, here what I did.
1. I got an old smartphone to carry around as an extra phone. No wifi, no cellular, but it hosts my notes and the alarm clocks with reminders. I have an idea - I write it down, dict it down, but it's unconnected to the world of soy.

2. My "main" cellphone is not on my bedstand, but my "note taker" celly is. It has SOME content to look through to distract myself, but it's all old, already-watched so I look through it a little, put on cozy classic/light music and take notes, what kind of frik I am supposed to do tomorrow.

3. NEVER trust your memory, it both resets during your sleep AND loses stuff you HATE

4. Even "my" fave AI sends me reminders to my main cellphone.

5. Recently, I threw away all my unsorted media shit into "NOT WORK" folder on my work computer. Feels uncluttered - the clutter is still there but it's has a well-defined boundary for future backups…

>>227023
>>227023
I had an obcession with an idea to get a "basic" tape recorder similar to ones they used to carry around in the 1990s and 2000s. Never got one, got a slightly damaged smart celly to perform point 1 and point 2 instead.

6. Ironically, I never mined bitcoin on my gaming laptop. Guess what? I am impulsive enough to lose big money anyway; I would "ruin it all anyway". Set. Decent. GOalls (sic) not some vague "wanna be rich". Cover this need, that need.

7. i shall think what to put in this point… haha no! I won't

8. Get an HDD to make backups. Really. Sounds obvious, but for some folks… well…

9. Get a used one also, to store 1 set of data for ages also. Manual backup once in 2-3 years, yup.

10. No need to be perfect. Good enough is not equal to perfect. Good enough is good enough, yes, but "perfect" is effing time-consuming.

11. Vitamins and other simple fixes for many possible issues. This is the stuff AI handles more or less well - ask what people keep missing, forgetting about

Maybe try Max Stirner - The Ego and Its Own

>>226984
I will think about these issues
>also
maybe try some counseling?

* I remebered today "sex" and "violence" are pretty much tied in one's brain. Something something same amygdala in one's braid and such…
** Becoming violent is not something I ever really wished for. Yet I always had this "everyone is violent around me" preposition given the fact I was raised by toxic single mother and crazy brother.
* Besides, due to lack of understanding the "real" world of *classmates* I also got this "you never know where it hits and when" stance about the world. For instance, I liked educational videos, graphics, stuff, I was preparing for careers. My classmates were all about criminal drama series so they were inclided on shunning me down.
** Oh and lotsa people were calling me out for being "lone[ly]" or "not looking for anyone". Shame on them.

And then it turned out college is not about being smart; it's all about keeping up with the crowd - chats, asking each other for help helping, this that… Which, I tell you, I CANNOT STAND. I enrolled a college after another college hoping to find a proper "do your thing" place to get proper education - 4 of them were all about keeping up with the crowd and not actually doing the thing of learning complex subjects.


At this rate, I may :look: like some kind of :crab: in terms of :hating this world: - but I tell you - I literayy was pursuiting a cozy career of not doing this "social" things, and I even have one now; BUT!!! The world has scarred me for being a wizard-class person I was initially grown to be.

>>227159
Seriously, it has been awful to realize I cannot get friends by being smart and talkative - everyone around me was a wannabe mafioso who would fail to even grasp the idea I was full of knowledge. INSTEAD, my classmates would assume I was merely boasting a party trick here, a party trick there, all *trying* to look better that I am. Hope they're struggling.

I'd rather not. I heard Satan offers that.

Just find a mentally ill person. It's cool then gets boring. No point

>If you could have such a succubus, would you still refuse to have sex with her?
yes. what you're describing to me sounds like a maidservant, i would have her do the cooking and cleaning etc and make her live in a separate building from me ideally. such a succubus would be nice to have, as it would free up a lot of time for me and make my life much easier, but having sex with her would be disgusting fleshly indulgence fit only for beasts and niggers. also i would have her in modest clothing like a big long thick dress and a head covering, no makeup allowed. if that were the case i don't even see myself being remotely tempted to have sex with her, if she's not actively tempting me like ever other whore on the streets is with they way they dress and behave.

>>227042
SEO'd; hundreds of pages now lol. Great call though, watching the money flowing out can help if there is some money to start with. I cut coffee (switched to tea) and 70% of my snack budget - a sweet $150 a month in savings.

>>227047
Thanks my friend!

I also tried this /wiz/dom. Results: I feel so good now I now realize my body acts terrible after coffee (not designed to!)


AFAIK, 25% of population have weird reaction to coffee the other 75% of population does not. Guess I am the 25%

See, at some point, your peers will do their best to coerce you into buying "cool stuff" without doing research.

Or, at least, that was the case in 2000s.

Nowadays, however, patching stuff is okay.

>For me money is extremely important because I have none of it and live with abusive parents. Money will be the only thing that will be able to set me free. Sadly getting a job in the third world is next to impossible. I wish I could explain my situation better but the lack of money is causing a severe hindrance to me. I have tried earning money online but have had no luck whatsoever. And as sad as it is, it's only the parents who will provide some financial support (at the cost of abusing you) while relatives and friends won't even get you a glass of water. I really wish I had money just enough to live alone.

For some reason, I couldn't find a job for years in A FUCKING CAPITAL and yes, abuse was a thing.

The hierarchy of needs help explain this. Whatever is the lowest need will take priority and convince us that's all we need, and you can achieve all of these without great material wealth. Some extremely poor countries and communities are not safe; they are ravaged with war, crime and corruption, so naturally their safety needs aren't met. There are also poor communities that are safe, they have a strong community, and working to benefit one's community as a primary value naturally fills all the other needs. No one else in these communities will attack the other's self esteem and sense of belonging by telling them they need the newest car or house to be seen as successful, if they valued that and perpetuated that value onto it's people like rich countries do, then they would feel the need to constantly buy more. People's sense of security, belonging and esteem are strategically attacked by marketing and politics to convince people they need to buy another product to fulfill that need and divide them amongst each other, the easiest way to protect their interests is to have the poor fight amongst each other for the promise of wealth.

Growing up poor I felt that as long as I had security I would be happy, romance and connection weren't a priority or were seen as a means to achieve safety, but once I did achieve that suddenly the need to be loved overruled and that took priority. As I see it we definitely need a minimum of wealth in order to have economic security and not have to worry about that factor, but once people reach that they are then convinced they have to worry about retirement, they need at least a million to be able to stop working in their old years, so even then they are convinced they don't truly have economic security until their retirement is payed for, it's all a plot to keep us unhappy by attacking our lowest needs so that we are more productive and allow the rich to accumulate more power to turn the world more into their image, which becomes their ideal of self-actualization. The wealthy who do not have this goal usually fuck off to retire early, while the ones who do make everything worse for the rest of us. Like >>226316 mentions, the hedonic treadmill shows that even those who win the lottery or suffer from medical problems hit large feelings of happiness or pain before the feeling normalizes to baselines months later, this serves an evPost too long.

as an awfully impulsive person I never bothered whether I need romance - I was not into it since I did not feel safe (to the point I assumed its never safe by default)

Embrace the pain when it comes. Let it flow fully.

Necrosis destroyed a lot of my brain; since then I've found it easy to only care in the most productive, efficient, and comfortable way. I'm no longer overwhelmed by shit that mattered less than it felt it did.

I don't really recommend brain damage, of course.

I couldn't solve the problem before the brain damage, even though I often tried.

But maybe there are things to work through, accept, move on from, learn, and then you find it all mostly easy from there on out. And without brain damage.

There's something, or some things, you need to confront and deal with, concerning that sadness/depression?

You feel shitty because there is something wrong in your life.

Let go of things you cannot change, have the resolve to accept them. Focus on things you can.

Can you do something about it? Then just do it. If you can't find the will in you to fix something, even if you know what you should do, break it down to small steps and write it down. It's easier to tackle them when you are depressed.

Is is something that can't be helped (not related to circumstances or your environment, which you can change)? Then you just have to accept it and live with it. If you keep focusing on these type of problems, you will not be able to do things within your reach either.

Take ashwagandha for a few days in a row.

ya know, they always talk about how barbaric lobotomies were, but honestly, i get it now. it's crazy that they will give you assisted suicide now but not a nice lobotomy so you can just forget your troubles.

>>226773
Thanks for the tip; will give it another go!

>>222647
I used to eat so much sweets and stuff I may unironically have ruined pancreas

You're doing this for succubi. You're sick in the head…Eating healthy = Psyop, drink fanta instead of water….Be a true wizard…

Yes I try to minimize sugar and eat healthy food. It helps with the brainfog and minimizes body aches. You need to take care of your body and mind to live more peacefully.

Because having a family and kids is impossible for someone as autistic as me. I want the urge gone.

>>221747
>Nobody truly and fully gets rid of the impulse and subconscious desire to multiply, because it's what hundreds of thousands of people directly up your bloodline did for eons and which ultimately made you exist.

This is not true, most succubi don't want to have children according to pretty much all surveys that I've seen, it's only men who are politically right-leaning that want to, and the underlying reason why is because it's proof of having reproduced (social status). succubi can reproduce easily so there's no social status to be gained. Anyway, you wanting to build a family is just a you thing, the older I get the more distant this seems to my mentality.

>>227179
>most succubi don't want to have children according to pretty much all surveys that I've seen
according to those surveys succubi DO want to have children but at a later age or stage of their lives once they've finished with their career and got a job a house, etc.

Don't gamble with the life of someone else

"your parents own your cum"

Do you even realize how stupid you sound?

>>227125
Your point is now indeed clearer, thanks

Thank you too!

Being chronically online poisons a mind and makes you forget the outside world isn't as hostile as you think it is.

>>227131
Yeah, that's what makes me hate post-2000s internet - everyone tries to hype you up with a scary "sky's falling AGAIN!!!" narrative for the clicks, to ruin your day for mere cents

>>227131
Depends on where you live. Might be even worse than you could possible think.

>The question focuses on the quantity of social interaction rather than the quality. A person may have many friends but still feel lonely, or have very few friends but have deep, meaningful connections.'' It is often perceived as a judgment on life choices: The question is particularly pointed when it comes to lifestyle choices like being single. Many people prefer to be single than to be in a relationship that is unhealthy or unfulfilling.

The first time i feel a connection with someone was when i played with a little succubus (two years before me, i have 13 years old here) with toys, tennis and other games, we just play alone in the countryside in solicitude without technology just being kids.
You know the later of the story, all got fucked and never happened again or talked.
>Also
The other time was with a asperger guy (they dont call like this anymore) cool guy, he wave to me sometimes at christmas times. We dont talk much, may he be happy.
>Warcraft
I made a friend of my country in a wow wotlk server, he's far away. We talk sometimes, a nice guy but dont talk to much of personal life.
>TF2
I was kinda loved as a personality in a TF2 community server, i enjoyed these times talking or helping others. Fun times.

Yeah I couldnt get past the 2nd episode. There was some big shot hitting on stick figure MC. She has absolutely no redeeming qualities

>>226503
>I'm always shocked that people don't remember what it was like being a kid themselves, and what appeals to children.

say, a BOOMER would be slightly ashamed of his biker days. Would consider his old good days to be too dated. Would fail to recognize his 1960's fantasies are derived from the same archetype modern zoomers/alpha generation boys tend to enjoy.

>Adults make this mistake all the time with kids shows in general. Kids don't actually want to see children in kids shows, they want to see adults and teenagers, because they themselves want to be adults and teenagers. Yugioh for all its faults, gets this right, it's a bunch of adults and teenagers obsessing over children's card games.

Ah. A successful fella doesn't get his role models from TV. Neither books work though.
So, a guy who MANAGES is probably raised by a family of boring people.
(In layman terms: for such managers, white collar cushy position = success, respect; BUT, ALL WHILE a cool guy soving problems = silly bloke that comes and goes, no respect.)

>>226503
I think boomers were probably the last ones to understand this in the case of TV. I have been subjected to sorta watching kids shows here and there since 2014ish and holy shit they are bad. It's like if they made every show into some maddeningly braindead shit like teen titans go or fagventure time but for all kids to watch until they are like 15. Guess that happens when children's media is made by lesbians

Random guess: the 'Murca guys are trying their best to mimic the stuff they don't understand - 1980s jolly anime / 1990s melancholic anime / 1990s straight up sad anime/ 2000s funny anime


and the process ends up in a mish-mash
