Any advice from wizards who have passed the trial? Did you do or feel anything different months before turning 30? Did you celebrate? What magic powers did you acquire in the end? Has anything changed for you since turning 30?

It suddenly occured to me that I'll actually be joining your ranks this year. I had almost forgotten about it. Now I'm a little stumped. I'm not sure if it should feel like a big thing or not.

 No.175755

I totally understand where you are coming from. When I first heard about the wizard meme (early/mid 20s on /v/, I think)I wasn't sure if I was actually going to become a wizard or not. It was an exciting idea to me at the time. But, by the time I approached thirty, I was so accustomed to the wizardly lifestyle that it did not feel like a big deal at all. I didn't celebrate, but I started using wizardchan more frequently because I felt like a more authentic wizard. The main magical power that I have gained is that I am basically immune to succubus powers. Ignoring or avoiding sexual/romantic temptation is basically a reflex at this point.

Anyway, props on making it this far! Though it might seem kind of arbitrary, becoming a wizard is a distinction. Post again when you make it.

I'll be having my 5-year wizard anniversary next February…

>Did you do or feel anything different months before turning 30?

I won't lie, I was a little anxious. It wasn't really a bit deal - but it was a lot like what you're saying here. I had almost forgotten about it, and when I remembered, I was kinda stumped.

In the end, it was a little anticlimactic. "So this is it, huh? Guess I'm a wizard now"

>Did you celebrate?

I played a little dress-up in the middle of the night. Blue bathrobe and a white towel for a makeshift turban. I was just having a laugh, but it looked better than I expected.

>What magic powers did you acquire in the end?

I gradually stopped being tired of life. My life is kinda bland and pointless right now, but I no longer want to die like I did back in 2015.

Over the past years, I realized just how much people are influenced by the stuff they see/hear/think about. So I decided to tune out social media, news outlets, and even most stuff in nerd hobbies - and I went back to stuff like nature photography.

Watch blue skies. Watch clouds. Watch sunlight. Watch forests. Watch the starry skies at night. Feel the fresh, cold air as you're taking a night walk. Feel and smell the rain, as the rainwater drips along the branches. Frex, look at life in the undergrowth, and get a good look at a random snail or beetle. Stuff like that will make you feel so much better than anything that normie society has to offer.

I didn't know about the wizard meme when I turned 30. I did however feel like 30 was momentous in the sense that I had reached full adulthood and could now be more confident in my feeling that this world offered me nothing of interest. As far as virginity goes, I never cared. The idea of letting someone actually touch me is repulsive on a visceral level.

>Did you do or feel anything different months before turning 30?

No I didn't. Age is just a number. 30 is just a number. My life wasn't any different a month before turning 30 and a month after that. All meme aside, why do people attach importance to a day in their life that practically is just like any other day? Is that an American thing?

 No.175783

It isn't the 30th birthday, but every year after 30 that gets bad. The realization that you are getting old sets in harder every year that you age.

If you are a crab you probably think that your years of being able to attract a mate are over. If you are a scholar you start thinking about how sharp your brain is as it was. If you are a fitness junkie you start thinking about how your body isn't as quick to change as it used to be. Things certainly aren't over as you age, but your best years, physically, are behind you at this point.

>wew so you became a tree-hugging hippy?
Hey now - actual hippies have sex, herpes and shit-tier hygiene. I'm not *that* far gone.
>what happened mate?
I guess I just wanted something different to distract myself with. Something that doesn't remind me of sexuality or normie society.

>>175779
>He became a druid I guess.
Eh, I wouldn't go that far. I don't really care for ancient Celtic religion (there very little surviving information about it, anyway), and I'm not some holistic nature/harmony kook, either.

I mean, 'nature' is just a term that humans came up with to lump together everything that humans didn't change/create. That wolf out there in the forest isn't any more connected to the trees around him than that you or I are.

But the world out there can still be beautiful. Does that beauty have any kind of deeper meaning? Is beauty even anything more than one of those weird side-effects of how our brains process things? Probably not. But why even care about that? Watching beautiful stuff is soothing - and as far as I'm concerned, that's all that matters. It doesn't even have to be anything 'natural'. A cityscape at night, or an oil refinery after sunset - that works just as well as the sight of a forest or a mountain.

That, and the less time you spend watching words or a screen or other people's faces, the more you'll disconnect from society. And part of me just wanted to disconnect from everything.

I agree. There's a lot of coping over this. People point at extremes or exceptions to show that "age is just a number", but generally knowing that your peak days are behind you and it's generally on the way down is sobering, if you're not delusional about it. Especially if you wasted your prime in some way and you care about a certain activity now. I think up until around 50 things aren't considerably different if you're just an average Joe going through life, but after that the decline starts speeding up.

As I approach 30 I've also stopped caring about any mainstream media and I've begun focusing more on one of my productive hobbies, which is composing classical music from the baroque era. Listening to/playing Handel on the piano and then working on my own sheet music is much more fulfilling than being outraged at a clickbait article and then fapping before drinking myself to sleep.

Don't call it that. It's autism. I've never understood why people use the term "aspergers" when it's all on the same exact spectrum. It's like calling someone who is only slightly schizophrenic a different term altogether.

I was just using "aspergers" as a tentative term in allusion to a socially-stunted person. I honestly really wonder if psychology is a real science or just a platform for a bunch of abusive, wanna-be scientists to formalize name-calling.

I don't feel any different at 30 than 20. I have the exact same intrusive thoughts, anxieties, and tendencies. The only difference is that my mental problems got worse.

 No.176608

The only good thing about being 30 is that you don't feel like you're on the spotlight anymore. Back when I was in my late teens early 20s my family used to judge everything I did and everyone used to constantly pester me about what I was gonna do with my life. Now people don't seem to give a shit anymore.

Then that only means in conventional society people are disconnected from society in the classical sense. Online world is a substitute.

Depends on the person but I'd say more than 50 % of the time when people spend less time online it follows somethign like this: words on screen don't subsitute your Maslow needs anymore - gets boring - you start to fill the needs in real life. Last one brings getting more connected to the society.

>has anything changed for you since turning 30
yes.
It is subtle but all encompassing. It may very well be "getting old" in general. Videogames no longer work. 99% of television and film no longer work. None of it is interesting or entertaining. I read old books now almost exclusively and have a few other fringe hobbies. In a way I am like a wizard now. The older you get, the fewer things you care about, and you increasingly believe in nothing. It is strange and hard to describe but for me this all only started after 30. Then again, I was on a SSRI for the last 5 years of my 20s, so maybe I am a bit late since SSRIs essentially stop time.

what the fuck are you talking about? You are clueless. The defining characteristic of a wizard is that he does not want to socialize, nore does he care. All other aspects and traits of a wizard come from that. An Inc*l WANTs, desparately wants to socialize and wants a gf even more. This is precisely why they are such insufferable faggots because all they can do is talk about sex sex sex and themselves with their pathetic insecurities. They are cancer.

I can confirm on most of this. By your late 20s/early 30s you have the opposite of a midlife crisis. If you never bothered listening to normalfags and their empty way of life, rather than being upset by how 'little' you 'accomplished' you will be at peace with your life choices. Your libido is either decreasing or just about gone and any juvenile hobbies you have you have either completed by this point or have moved on to something else. It's quite nice really, it's the closest thing you'll experience to a light at the end of the tunnel. However, if you've been mentally ill or depressed, there's a great chance that you'll just give in and kill yourself by this point as well.

OP here. Sorry for bumping but I am a wizard as of today.

It's been an uneventful day. I do feel a little different though. Maybe it's a slight sense of accomplishment creeping up on me, maybe it's my magical powers tingling, reaching a new apex. I have a very good feeling about the immediate future for some reason.

Thanks for this fairly engaging discussion in this thread. I wish all you wizards and apprentices the best on your journey.

That theory doesn't make sense, Hugh Hefner said his first time was at 22.

What's more likely is people on the autism or aspergers scale were "broken" to begin with (I don't like this term to describe people who aren't normals or NT's).

They might have been able to socialize in school, because school forces people to sit next to each other and spend time together, but it ends soon after that.

This world isn't built for nonneurotypicals. Period.
I knew since age ~9-10 something is very wrong. I did not connect and click naturally with other kids to burn ants and pick on physically disabled kids.

I also hated most adults for behaving like kids my age since I was around 8. I could not believe the childishness of most adults. That not only lead to deeply seated resentment, but depression.

it does help but as with anything it only helps you manage it unless your anxiety is linked only to being fat losing weight for example won't help. My anxiety was still terrible when I followed this diet albeit my own form.
Sugar is awful you should listen to us that eating sugar is bad there is never any reason to consume sugar or snacks with carbs.

If you want better results for anxiety you need to confront it and only with exposure will you handle it better. Once again it depends how bad your anxiety is, try to learn grounding and mindfulness to manage it also.

No advice here, could use that myself and in no position to give it, anyway, I didn’t feel anything different in the preceding months before I dinged lvl 30 as I had been preparing and totally expecting it since I was about 27 or 28. Those levels fucked with me worse because thats when I was actually coming to terms with my reality. Like, every lvl I got closer I lost more and more hope until I completely detached from any remaining hope or blue pills from childhood. By the time I dinged 30, which actually wasnt that long ago, I already came to accept my situation and what will be a short, lonely, and miserable life. Soon enough i’ll just delete and switch mains. Hopefully I get better life rng on my next reroll.
