How do you deal with negative things in real life? Things like:


I need help, Holla Forumsros. I'm sure others do here too.

I guess this comes down to how we're fundamentally wired. I actually enjoy the fact that I don't fit into communities because I've found that most people are endlessly shitty and only lead to negative outcomes. Somehow I don't desire or require social approval from others and revel in the fact that that allows me to have idiosyncratic value systems and a completely subjectively determined way of life instead of adapting my behaviors to meet the expectations of others. From an outsider's perspective it seems like a fucking nightmare to just be a marionette to be manipulated by other people's approval and expectations


Start bodybuilding, eat paleo, get vitamin D from the sun, drink lots of distilled water


The point of life is pleasure and it doesn't matter if it fades, you're just playing the game wrong


lol y do u keep losing fgt, just start winning

I believed you until you said paleo

Is this OP?

Therapy and prescription drugs

also illegal drugs

Heavy amounts of denial also helps. Also alcohol

Honestly OP I have been unemployed for a month after working in a factory for nearly 3 years that destroyed both my back and shoulder. I worked 40-50 to sometimes 60 hour work weeks hard labor. Most days were 14-15 hours with the occasional 16-17 hour day with the fun of having to come back to work at 5am the following day.

Go work a horrible job that saps your will to live and destroys your body. Nothing can stress me out anymore and I have no real bad thoughts anymore other than this amazing fear of working in a factory again and some fucked up PTSD where I have nightmares about that job.

All in all my word salad, TL;DR

Just fucking get drugs and try and cope. Life is pointless, have fun with it. No matter how much you complete you will be forgotten, so fucking what. You want a good perspective on life go work a shitty soul sucking job.

Fucking study something OP, stop wasting your time on some shitty dying imageboard.

How did we get to this point where life is so bad that this is what people have to do so they don't go insane?

I already do work a job that is very taxing (physically and monetarily!) on me. But what I am complaining about here is years in the making. I've felt this way for years, the thoughts just don't go away.

I think that I can always kill myself if it gets too bad
I don't really try at anything, so I don't really care when I fail
Umm… I have never tried or cared to fit in anywhere
I don't care about other people. The only people that I would care if they liked me or not would be the people that draw my porn, and I am never going to meet any of them.
no meaning, meaning it doesn't matter, and I think that I can always kill myself if it gets too bad
no meaning, meaning it doesn't matter, and I think that I can always kill myself if it gets too bad
I won't care, I'll be dead

Did this pretty much for years. It starts to not work that good anymore
Also I occasionally drink on weekends


How old is everyone here, including OP?
Just wanna know if it get's any better or easier

I deal with it by internalizing a feeling of intense disgust for other humans, and looking forward to the technological Singularity so I can hang out with cool robot friends and eventually upload my mind and live forever as a god in a myriad of universes of my own creation.

Ever since humans found out that certain plants make you feel good. So prolly a couple hundred thousand years or more ago.

You think drugs just sprung up in the 60s or something? Look into opium dens you out of touch user.


Sounds like bog standard depression, go to a therapist and get some good anti-depressants. That is what I did mang, it might not solve everything but it makes life bearable.

Also do not turn to the internet to solve your problems. A bunch of armchair psychologists are not going to do fuck all for you.

Until the people who refused to upload their minds trash the server farm running your singularity and turn you into the equivalent of a braindead computer.

/;^3

Also I need to know who got them 7s

I prefer armchair psychologists to the people that helped me in 2013/2014 on the internet. Their replies consisted of:


And other variations of those angry cesspool meme buzzwords. Oh, and they insulted my masculinity and the concept of me being male constantly. It only made things worse. Maybe times have changed, since the replies here seem fine. But my mind has not really changed, and that's the problem here.

Medication is too expensive.

emotional reasoning. go for a walk and decide what to do about your issues when you feel calm.

I am OP and I am 24, I will be 25 in February next year.

And "no", it does not get better, if you directly ask me. That's a lie people tell you so you go away.

Shut up OP, as I said. Get some fuckin meds and therapy.

Also I am 27, due to my job being pretty horrible on my body I am going to have to get surgery on my shoulder in the near future. You should not get shoulder surgery this fucking young.

well, I am 19. Hopefully when I won't get to be 20

Medication is too expensive. And what will therapy tell me? To just rejoin "normal" society and tell me to ignore everything I've seen, and that everything is my fault? People have already tried that on me, numerous times. It never worked.

Are you the fuck that worked in a factory?

Improbable. Uploaded individuals think between a thousand and a million times faster than humans (due to the speed difference between electrochemical signalling and electronic/optical signaling). Any humans coming in with violent intentions will be like sitting ducks, even if there is no guardian AI. And that's assuming such computational hardware will even be physically accessible by humans.

Also, EVERYONE will upload. Once they see the wonder and the glory in it, all pretense at religion, morality, hunger for power, or whatever will be gone. You can have all of that in unlimited measure inside the machine.

Even if you were guaranteed to be destroyed after a couple of months in the machine, you have still lead a longer, richer life than any human in history, thanks to the effects of speedup.

"Optimism"

24 huh? So it really doesn't seem to get any better

I'm turning 19 this month

Yes because bitching on the internet has always helped with your problems in life.

You clearly have never actually talked to a therapist. Also you need more than one session dumbass.

Yes I am the fuck who worked in a factory /;^3

Yes, but who would maintain the systems needed for said singularity. Who is to say that due to the alleged speedup that you would instantly get sick of living and just destroy yourself.

Coupled with you are assuming we will ever supersede the computational power of the brain. M80, we struggle just to make a car drive itself. Even then the car is not actually perceiving anything. It is just a combination of object recognition and radio. Hardly advanced computational "thinking" that you romanticize so much.

Also, I am the type of person who would continue living without the singularity just as a friendly reminder of the humanity lost by those who decided to become a hivemind. Enjoy your sci-fi botnet :3

no it doesn't, and won't for awhile. Not in our life time.
You might see it get a little better as more tech comes out, but you won't see it free us.

I have talked to therapists before, I know what they're all about. I'm not sure why you are being rude here, but I hope your surgery goes bad, and your back and shoulder are fucked up for life, and your depression intensifies. You factory working fuck.

Life sucks and is horrible the end. The problem I have with nihilism is that is an excuse for people to whine about how horrible their lives our.

Yeah welcome to reality, I am sorry if the media consumed made you think that life did not have a bunch of issues.

Also love it when white kids complain on the internet ABOUT HOW HARD LIFE IS

There it is, let out the anger.

OP, what I am saying is that why should I have an obligation to listen to your whinging? Oh no you are just giving up and I am supposed to feel sorry for you. Well I am sorry OP but I am P sure I have had it worse than you and I did something about it instead of whining on the internet and expecting sympathy because I PERSONALLY AM FEELING DOWN

lol life doesn't suck, you and pretty much everyone else in this thread suck at life

Yes

Nobody is forcing you to come to this thread and sperg out, you queer.

I have tried to do many things about my situation, I always failed. You seem angsty. I don't want you to feel sorry for me, your existence is irrelevant to me and I'm only replying because I see words addressed to me on my monitor.

Beep boop, okay.

You always fail because you give up when things become even a little hard.

Also you are slipping into that pseudo-intellectual nihilism thing that people like to do when they want to come across as apathetic but still articulate. Stop that shit it just makes you look like a tool.

Really user, go get some weed and smoke up if you are so UGH LIFE. Will make things seem a lot smaller.

I hit them with my dick until they die.

/thread

Now this user knows whats up. Keep dickin for the rest of your life and you will never not be sad :3

No, I fail because I just don't have what it takes.


I am depressed and very low energy, which is why I'm coming across that way.


I can't even get into that stuff, I have no interest in it. What can drugs get me beyond a temporary high and the 'dude drugs' culture? Nothing.

OP were you raised by a single mom by chance? Just curious.

I dont

Might be some true words.


The incarnation of Dr. Freud right here. Thanks for your truthful and enlighting words you armchair psychologist. You described me on point, as if you knew me my whole life…

I doubt that OP will see this comment due to all of the shitposting that happens here, but I do have something to say which might be helpful.

Firstly, recognize that depression is normal. A depressed person is not broken and shouldn't feel ashamed. Emotions are symptoms of bio-chemical conditions which exist inside of the body. Depression is probably the default state of a human brain when not subjected to high levels of mood altering chemicals like endorphins. It's also a reasonable condition when one considers how shitty reality is in this universe.

None of that means you are doomed to live in a depressed state. There are a lot of things you can do to alter your moods, and there is no shame in any of them. Pharachemicals are a good option for many severely and chronically depressed individuals. Exercise and adequate sleep make huge differences for others. I designed an anti-depression diet for myself years ago, and my quality of life has significantly improved ever since I adopted it.

Depression isn't even normal in the modern world, let alone throughout most of human history. It is as abnormal as it is unnatural, all you need to do is look at the behavior of animals and people in tribal societies to see that. What's normal and natural is occasional bouts of sadness, which is hardly the same thing

You don't have to feel ashamed about it, but to say that this mental illness is natural or normal is horseshit

This is a really odd thing to say.

Are you sure there are no underlying insecurities there?

Might you be trans?

Uploading is impossible.

The issue is that human brains are continuously changing as a biological machine. Unless it becomes possible to simulate that, it'll only be possible to upload a 'snapshot' of your brain.

And besides, your consciousness will never be uploaded.

… except that humans are wired to constantly be under the influence of mood altering chemicals like endorphins.

Sex? Endorphins + Dopamine
Exercise? Endorphins?
Food? Serotonin + Dopamine
etc.

Depression is not normal.

No, that's what they did back then.

No. It's complicated. I was mostly raised by my mom until I was 10. Then I was raised only by my dad, but he was abusive. He was there, but abusive.

I see your comment, but to be honest, I've been in a doomed state for years. The replies here just lower my morale even more. I would end it all if it weren't for two people that I couldn't put through that trauma.

*tips fedora*

You survive the negativity in life by sharing the pain and pressure with family (Your wife and children) and friends (the friends you grew up with).

Social Communication: Beta Endorphines.

(This is exclusive reward when falling in love)

basically i ignore them and focus on more cheerful things, until those problems grow too big to ignore and force me to look up ways to kill myself on the internet

...

It is hard to carry on when I keep experience negative things but rarely any successful things or significant progress.

help me jesus. how do i fix my dick?

Group cuddling is the best therapeutic medicine discovered ever.

I think it has something to do with our tribal past. I am someone who was always a very touch-averse person, but while secretly longing for it, so you can quite imagine that this was basically a god send.

night and fucking day. honest to god. feeling actually happy for once in your shit life will help you to at least analyze your normal daily actions and why they're fucking stupid.

I think the most noticeable difference is the tense you have in your mind constantly.
in the moment. Able to identify and respond to social cues and other humans. Suddenly it's very easy to appreciate all the details in things, and there's a very keen realtime perception of events that makes appreciation of life come natually.
Can't think at all. So inside your head and getting tangled in knots going nowhere while you constantly think about the far future. It's like your thoughts can't get out of this muck and mire of negativity and your own poor perception of yourself. And then that rubs off on other people. There's nothing more crushing than the subtle change of mood you can see in people when they interact with you and it's like a light goes out in them when they realize you're dead and dysfunctional inside, only confirming that poor perception of yourself. The result is a very "elephant in the room" experience. It's obvious you're a dysfunctional sappy retard. You know it and they know it, and they're just being polite. The repeat experiences are awful because you can immediately tell that as soon as they realize they're going to have to interact with you, the intense discomfort manifests in them and it's topically obvious.

The real trick is maintaining a state of happiness, since it's inherently a passing thing. Something about the daily existence of the average user has us so biochemically fucked up and the symptoms of a healthy, happy human being don't manifest because, well… we aren't healthy. Can't maintain a state you never enter.

I wouldn't say normalfags are truly happy, but they do all seem to share that acute in the moment social awareness. They can immediately tell you're not one of them, no matter how much effort you put forth into your charade. Don't confuse healthy, sociable people for normalfags, though. You can't interact with either, but they can interact with each other and get along just fine. You could be part of that tribe considered healthy and sociable if you weren't such a mess on a chemical level.

t. fag whos buzzing on shrooms
looking forward to reading this shit tomorrow and not getting it

Stop thinking about your damned self.
Find those who are worse off than you are and serve them (volunteerism).

I started going to a psychiatrist and I think I can make him kill himself. I have no idea why I find that so comforting, he doesn't even look like a bad dude.

...

do you think you could let me fuck your boypussy, before you off yourself?

No dude, you're not doing any of that, can't you just go to tinder?

Sounds like you fit right in on imageboards.

Each their own op. I was in a similar boat, only thing really keeping me around was concern for the family and friends I rarely interacted with and how'd they feel.

Ultimately, found that I want to see what happens. Sold the house that was near foreclosure, and got into trucking. Not sure about the long term, what with the lack of regular contact. But looking forward to living in interesting times. Also Holla Forums happenings are fun.

Fuck meds, fuck therapy, fuck drugs.

Not a sociopath? Get a dog. I love cats, too, but they're not as loyal and overtly affectionate, they also require less work and their shit and piss smell like death.

A dog will love you, always want to take part in what you're doing, care about your well-being, miss you when you're gone, feel protective of you, make you a better man through learning how to care for and train it, and get you off your ass to walk it. My dog's done more for my depression than anything else.

Second, exercise. Look up a body you want, I don't care what it is, then try to find out how to achieve that body. Maybe you just want to feel stronger, maybe you ant to be faster, look up how to specifically do that, and then stick to it. Regular exercise does wonders.

Try to learn a skill, doesn't matter what it is. Try cooking, that's easy and fun. It's healthy and saves money too. It could be anything, anything that interests you, just look up a book on how to do it.

Okay, next up make a list of your fetishes. Now go to a site like omegle and put in all your fetishes. Just keep talking to people until you get a girl. Do this for a couple hours a night until you get a feel for it. Before long you'll have a few dates with girls who share a fetish with you. Getting laid does wonders for self-esteem. Yes, they'll be crazy girls. Many of them will be far away. Try not to get too attached.

Make big plans. Create a vision board, list out all your goals, envision it, then step by step make it a reality. Don't dream small, dream big. Every little step you take towards your goals will put a smile on your face.

Anyway, this is what's worked for me.

Do normalfags fap about 3 times a day too?

meh

Do you still have access to a female partner? If yes, okay here's what you do. It's going to take a few months, but she'll enjoy them.

1. In early encounters, just jerk yourself off. Yre weening yourself off of this. I know when you're used to jerking off even her mouth feels weird and unpleasant at first, but just keep jerking off where it most turns you on that she'll let you. Face, mouth, whatever. In turn, look up some videos on fingering and eating out. Think of it like going through your first relationship one step at a time. It's a turn on having to limit yourself. Some of my hardest orgasms have been stuff like laying next to eachother and playing with eachother's junk, masturbating in front of eachother, or just asking "Would you be willing to do this?" and going slow. One time I just had a girl suck on my finger while I jerked off, and I came buckets. I'm really big on getting oral, so this helped me out with stuff later.

Next, more and more just try letting her handle your dick, start with whatever turns you on most, branch out from there. I had a bad early sexual experience, so initially I didn't much get hard to coitus, but I found a combination of kissing, her sstroking my dick, and sucking on my finger once I was in kept me pretty rock solid.

Okay, now that you're at the point that you can stay hard inside her, congratulations. For the next couple months you'll be able to fuck her for over an hour without cumming.

Downside: Once your sensitivity returns, expect a few embarrassingly quick orgasms. Now you'll have to build your stamina *back* up a bit.

Focus on better thoughts, verify with what you feel. Do as you please, one breath at the time

Fucking noobs cant even pretend to be respectable human in hl3

let it turn into anger. let it fester and burn. just as you feel it about to explode…


bury it

this literally takes years off your life but it fucking works

I just have hope that one day things will be okay and I will have an awesome job as a self-employed NEET making videogames and coming home everyday to bang my hot wife and raise our aryan children together.

The reason I'm so confident is because unlike normal suckers I don't care about breaking the rules to get what I want, if you're in my way, you're gonna get fucked and as long as I am well on my way towards my goals, I am happy, even if I'm not there yet.

just live through danger
