Someone posted a picture here on /lit/ yesterday that I believe was a photo of someone I used to care about very much. It was a girl in a dress, short black hair, her face turned away from the camera. I could have sworn it was who I thought it was. I knew her neck, her hair, her ear, her fingers, her dress, the cabinets behind her, the lighting of the room, it all looked so familiar. I'm 99% sure it was her. But I couldn't see her face. It was like a bad dream, except here on /lit/, the place I haunt to put thoughts about her out of my mind. The more I think about it, her current boyfriend is probably the kind of guy who would post here.

Funny story. My father was taller than him. In aircraft mechanic school we played hackysack during our breaks. The other guys bragged about how badly their fathers beat them. I told them that my father was 7'2" and his weight ranged between 250-500lbs. They asked me if he beat me. I told them that he beat me with a Volkswagen. They literally ROFL'd good times. Thats what comes to mind. He didn't beat me by the way. Just knowing that he was angry was enough to scare you.

Everyday when I walk home there is a Jamaican man walking in the opposite direction singing his heart out along to music from his headphones. At first he disturbed me, but I've gradually begun to enjoy my encounters with him. It feels like something is missing on days when I don't see him.

I can't stop drinking. It's making me persistently unwell and nauseous every day and I'm certain it will, one way or another, lead to my death before the age of fifty. I am so used to drinking while writing that when I tried to sober up in the fall, I went 37 days without writing a single sentence. I had no inspiration, no vision, no nothing. Now I'm back on the sauce and thinking about tying up my affairs for when I eventually get hospitalized.

I got drunk for the first time when I was thirteen. Touched alcohol at most once or twice a year until high school. Didn't become a problem until I was 20 when I slowly started drinking after school and work. Now it's every single day.

Why? Nothing I can disclose here, other than conditioning and a lack of real-world pursuits.

I would like that too. The thing is, there's a ceiling on how much you can drink before conversations lose their sheen.

Good conversations about literature, history, politics, and culture are one of the last things in my life that are still enjoyable. For those of you who don't know what alcoholism is like, imagine the ten things that you enjoy the most in your life right now. Ten. Now imagine that, no matter what you do, every three or four months, one of those things will stop being enjoyable. You will lose it forever.

And now imagine that you know this, and your brain and body still convinces you to buy another bottle.

I’m drunk. I didn’t mean to be drunk but I am. My roommates wanted to go to Del Taco for the surf and turf burrito - steak and fried shrimp. Not lobster, but would you expect lobster? Actually for a second I did. Anyway I took pulls from the handle of Svedka I bought the other day. I don’t drink much but it’s the year anniversary of my father’s death tomorrow. Death. It’s strange. I would like to write for him a long piece with stories of how I saw him... This idea intimidates me more than it excites me. Paul Thomas Anderson made Magnolia in the wake of his father’s passing. I have made nothing. I wrote a song, it was okay. It was on ukulele so people would probably find it stupid. But I guess not everyone can write a song. You all might be amused by this: my father was very similar to Franz Kafka. Incredibly low self-worth with an overbearing father. Although when Dad read The Trial he understood none of it. He was a pleb that way. But he was the kindest man I’ll ever know.

My girlfriend is far from perfect. She obsesses over her marketing job, gossip, money, and material things like jewelry and clothes. In the three months we’ve been together, she has not read a single page of a single book. Sometimes she likes to talk about guys who flirt with her just to ignite a reaction in me, and this makes me angry.

Nonetheless, she is redeemable. She possesses certain qualities I love and respect: work ethic, physical beauty, an open mind, a positive outlook, a generous heart. She comes from a good family. She loves me, she cares about my happiness, and she often goes above and beyond to put a smile on my face when I’m down. She also smells like lavender and honey, and when I find a sweater or scarf she’s left behind on my apartment, I often sniff them lightly and feel a warmth come over me.

The truth is, she may be a little shallow now. But we’re young, and she’s far busier than I, which leaves her little time to do things like read or write, things she claims she wants to do. I’d thought very briefly of leaving her for someone else, someone more like me. But honestly, I feel grateful to have someone in my life after all these years who loves me for who I am. I don’t need her to change. In fact, I plan to love her and nurture her and introduce her to things that I believe will enrich her life, that we may be fulfilled together.

It seems to be that art is primarily motivated by suffering, a well-adjusted, happy person does not feel compelled to express themselves artistically. There are, of course, happy artists, but they do not produce work of particular note compared to their stricken colleagues who are able to pour their emotional turmoil into their work and create something magnificent. Now, it is the position of most that society's evolution should be directed in such a way that reduces suffering with the ultimate goal of eradicating it entirely. This sounds beautiful and noble, but if we accept the initial premise it implies an end to art that is truly artistic.

My question is if this is a bad thing. Is art nothing but a symptom of a imperfect society and will we evolve past the need for it?

I'm in love with a girl from school but am in a constant state of unknowing and purgatory regarding whether or not she loves me back. One time we interact, it will be great and I'll come away from it happy and loved, but similarly, there are times when I come away feeling melancholy and sad, spending the entire evening in constant unending thought and depression. I don't know what to do: I'm planning to ask her out for the first time in a couple of weeks when we both have some time off. I'm hopeful, as there are more positives than negative in our relationship (touching hair, long glances, constant chit-chat and laughs, etc.), but small things like me always texting first just make it so hard. Like today, for example, I tried to keep talking with her after our lesson and walk back with her, as we have many times before, but it was didn't go so well as she ended up with her friends and I had to awkwardly sidle away from the group.

Nope. The possibility is that the glut makes it impossible to appreciate good art. Appreciation is in itself a basic human skill of discerning. But each day we move closer and closer to telling each other that eating broken glass is the same as a sinful apple.

I'll try. Every external thing you experience comes to you through your senses, and it is then made comprehensible by unconscious portions of your mind. When you see a person on the street, for instance, what you see is filtered through your biases, past experiences, and current general state of mind (among countless other things), and only then does your reaction consciously register. Have you ever tripped, and simultaneously heard someone laugh, and then assumed that they were laughing at you? Odds are good that they weren't, but your feelings of vulnerability at that moment predisposed you to the thought. It's like taking a picture with a scratched lens or expired film, the final product will bear the mark of the tool that produces it.

In the case of that other anon, he probably spends a lot of time thinking about this girl, maybe runs some hypothetical situations in his head about their next meeting, imagining how it will go and what her reactions portend. So when she meets her friends instead of walking home with him he takes it as a snub because he's put himself into a position where that's how you read that situation, when in reality she may have had pre-existing plans or something, and she could be looking forward to seeing him again in private.

My old man raked the cinders together with a piece of cardboard and spread them judiciously over the whitening dome of the coals. When the dome was thinly covered his face lapsed into darkness but, as he set himself to fan the fire again, his crouching shadow ascended the opposite wall and his face slowly reemerged into light. It was an old man's face, very bony and hairy. The moist blue eyes blinked at the fire and the moist mouth fell open at times, munching once or twice mechanically when it closed. When the cinder had caught he laid the piece of cardboard against the wall, sighed, and said:

I used to feel betrayed by society because it hadn't prepared me for mediocrity. But over time I've come to understand that thoughts like "you'll make it one day" or "it gets better" are necessary lies that underpin society.
But now all I feel is a sort of cold, dispassionate sympathy for those of my peers that cycle the drain of hopelessness. I see it coming a mile away. "Oh, anon, you're into books, did I tell you I'm writing a novel?"
An almost predictable journey through hope, self doubt, self contempt and then finally a sort of phony nihilism. The ups and downs of someone not good enough to write stories that only children enjoy. On one level I root for them. Be better, learn the basic mistakes of history. But on another I take satisfaction from their failure. After all, was I not the same? Wasn't I the "man with an idea" preaching his unremarkable science fantasy nonsense as a "metaphor for, like, society and stuff"?

I went to see a friend play a show for a band in her college that she invited me to. She also invited another one of her friends, she and I had met a few times before so we sat together.

After the show my other friend had to leave and go do some meeting with the band or something, so me and the other girl sat there and talked for 40 mins. We talked about a lot, mostly about our thoughts on relationships, loneliness, fears. Not really things one talks about with someone they barely know. I said how I believe there are some people who you just connect with above all others, I then realized I feel like I had a connection to her because of how meaningful our conversation was to me. So above the mundane. Yet I can't help but shake the feeling she was just entertaining me. Maybe she was enjoy the conversation also, but I couldn't stop feeling like she didn't care.

I never get to talk to a girl like that, and I'm still thinking about it quite happily, thinking it means something, thinking maybe she'll try and get in touch with me, but in reality she's probably already forgotten. I doubt there was really a connection, just me hoping there was as a way to escape my loneliness.

Iam lost in the very moment. Life is seeming to pass me by. Weeks feel to blend together, i seem to feel like nothing is happening except what i remember.
People are nice, but all of them seem fake. Nothing seems real. People use me to get something that they want. They use me to get a reaction, to make themselves feel better, to expend negative energy. To laugh at me. I am just trying to express myself. Is the expression of ones self laughable today?
Is masculinity important to me?
What masculinity am I talking about?

I want to be strong. I want my spirt to be directing. I want to be in control of my situation. But as you or I, we do not own enough resources. It used to be if you didn't have resourses you would die. Now it is you are enslaved to those who do have those resourses.

Is society worth it?
should i just go into the woods and die?

WE are all human and we share each other. Why must we pull each other down?
There is a difference between playful laughter and degradation of someone.
I laugh when someone does something I deem funny. Such as fall down, such as look a way i don't look.
Is that wrong? Or is it necessary to break tension?

Laughter is the cure to all. Laughter has never made the world a worse place. Laughter leads to happiness. I Laugh at myself because nothing should be taken as seriously as it does. I don't know.

Daily reminder:

When you were 15, watching porn and playing video games everyday, ATTRACTIVE males your age were already having sex.
Everything was happening behind your back and no one told you because you were deemed UNFIT to participate in such sexual activities .
It was over before it even began.

Life is all about being YOUNG and cool, a generically handsome jock who lays with his virgin gf under the stars, seeing her priceless face as you first enter her pure pussy, moaning your name when her parents aren't home. Having a cool group of jock friends to hang out with...THAT is what life is all about.

Sneaking out at night to lie with your virgin gf under the stars. Penetrating her for the first time. Seeing her face in the crowd at your HS football game. Having a huge group of jock friends. You never experienced any of that. It's over. You lost at life. Time to man up and become a provider. Time to downsize and save for retirement. Time to acknowledge that you were always destined for mediocrity. Welcome to hell. Welcome to life.

i know i am a rapid cycling dysthmic bipolar, which to me just means i experience mood shifts often (usually over periods of a few days at the most) with the highs being mediocre and the lows being self abusive and suicidal

I want out yet i am trapped in the meatsuit. Sick of making new friends just to have them be terrified of me. Ive always had abandonment issues ever since mom died then dad disowned me at 13. I just want someone to love me. Everyone leaves. Everyone

So i sit alone for years now. I only see other people for work, but the moments are superficial and i feel empty, like im not a person. Just pretending to be nice so i can get paid. Besides they dont actually want to know me. They would hate me if they knew me

Things arent so bad right? I mean i have a warm bed and food and im relatively healthy despite being mentally unstable. I cant stop it. The energy to stop it was there years ago, but now im just tired. Im slowly slipping into alcoholism and im trying to stop drinking but there is some part of me that really wants to die and i cant kill myself because i know the one person who does care would
be really hurt, and i cant do that

So if i cant kill myself ill just drink myself to death. I want out of here. I hate the constant negativity, always unstable (when was the last time i went to bed at the same time two days in a row?), addictions, isolation, and not wanting help

Things arent so bad right?

You have to get out there man. It pisses me off that there is no community life these days because that is exactly the part of human existence that is supposed to connect you back to people in times like this and make you find that odd friend that makes life worthwhile again.

You could try going to AA or church or volunteer work. Or go hang out at a weird bookstore regularly, or start a research project that makes you interact with other people and go outside your comfort zone. Join some groups, a hobby store, do something, anything. Don't sink into fatalism. The one constant in life that I've found that makes all this kind of suffering endurable is weird friendships, weird little connections you can make. Just don't let yourself become isolated any further please.

I am a young man that has just uncovered the wonders of the Great Conversation. After years of emptiness and despair the beauty of possibility has started to bloom in my mind for the very first time. The questions that have eluded my for all these years finally has an answer. All I need is time to uncover it. But time is the only thing I do not have. I live in a country where 80% of my fellows want to bash my skull in. I have to stomach how my own government dehumanizes me on a daily basis. They have almost collapsed the country with their all-consuming greed and they are in the proccess of implementing communist policy to squeeze the last bit of life out of its people. I have to look into eyes filled with hatred for the simple sin of existing. How cruel is fate to show me a glimpse of what I have been looking for my entire life, just to swipe it away and shove me into the meatgrinder of corrupted political machinations.

I don't understand why she lied about that to me. She's a wannabe intellectual, recently she's been coming to me for books to read cause she knows I read a lot. She's been following many of my interests in philosophy, religion, war, etc. It's like she knows her favorite authors and shit were loners and wants to be one. And it's annoying when she told me this, because I genuinely feel that way, I can't even remember the last time I hung out with someone on the weekends. I make up imaginary people to talk to in my head just for company. I have actually spoken to a different girl and she was similar, says she's lonely, no friends, etc, and that girl was definitely full of shit cause she's constantly out doing stuff.
Why did they lie about that? Were they trying to impress me or something? Is being a loner seen as smart?

I recently got hospitalized for detox. I don't say I went to detox since it wasn't a detox centre but the local hospital. Was so bad off that I spent days on diazepam and vitamin B, drip and monitoring and that sort of thing. Got home with warnings about my liver and other future things and sleeping pills for a week.

The shadow spoke with a gravelly and rather deep voice, a mysterious aura surrounding his cloaked dark body from head to toe. His hands were held behind his back, a dark hood hiding his identity. On his chest was a strange symbol: the symbol of peace but perverted and corrupted, now flipped upside down and displayed a figure in pain, his arms stretched out to the sky in agony, filled with hate and vengeance. For their people it meant war and victory, a sign that would poison the hypocrisy that mankind prided itself with and stood upon. Violence was not ignored or downplayed, but shown to all, to be accepted and reviled.

A rather bold statement, she thought, for him to wear it so openly in a time like this.

Practice.
Learn about memory, about memory pathways.
Practice the realisation that your thoughts are not your self, that your self is in the present, a present that you need to practice paying attention to in order to be in control of yourself.
It takes time, but even five minutes here and there works to ingrain the practice.
Save the nostalgia for sleeping. Let the unconscious do the work your conscious is trying to do.

Everyone has a conception of who they are that combines both the actions they do and the thoughts they have, or their intentions. Everyone's conception of themselves is off. That being said, men don't build images of themselves in the same way women do. Men focus waaaay more on the actual actions; women focus more on what they intended to do.

I was talking to my sister the other day, and she was telling me that some guy asked for her number. She thought he was cute, so she was going to go on a date with him if he asked. He texted her and asked if she wanted to go out on X day. She was busy on X day, and told him so. He asked what she was doing, and she said she was doing blah blah blah. Later he texted her and asked how blah blah blah went. Well, in the course of doing blah blah blah, plans changed, so my sister actually did whatever-it-is-she-did, and she tells him that.

After telling me this, she asks if I think he's going to text her again. I, of course, said no, and she asked why. I tried to explain that from his perspective she blew him off with some excuse, and then when he asked about that excuse it looked like she had lied, so of course he wasn't going to keep trying to get a date with some girl he barely knew. She was aghast. From her perspective, she wanted to go on a date him, and he had asked for her number, so since they both wanted to go on a date eventually they would go on a date.

To bring it back to your story, this girl wants-to-be an intellectual. But she's friends with people, she has a life routine that she's already in, and the actions that result from that are somewhat illusory to her. They're relics of old intentions. The fact that what she wants to be and what she is completely escapes her. When she told a lie, it wasn't a "lie" in the sense that she was trying to mislead you, but rather it was a lie in that she mostly sees herself as what she wants to be, not what she is.

As to why this particular expression of self-delusion keeps happening to you, it's probably because you only associate with people who want to be intellectuals. Or perhaps they come to you because that's the image they have of you, for whatever reason. Maybe she was trying to impress you, maybe not. At the end of the day you just need to accept that these girls' images of themselves are not accurate. That doesn't mean that you should just ignore these glaring inconsistencies, but at least you'll understand why they happen.

Thanks for the response anon. I think you're spot on.
Me and the girl had spoken previously once about our current life situations and she said that she was no longer interested in the party life she was used to living. She wanted to turn her attention to reading books and getting smart and making money. Me and her had lost contact for awhile and about 3 months ago she contacted me again and it wasn't long after she told me that.
We used to work together and she would always see me reading on my breaks. I guess she came back into my life because I'm one of the only people she knows who reads, and I guess in comparison to her I could be seen as smart.

As for my association issue, I assume you're right. As I said previously, I'm a loner, this girl is now the only person I've talked to in the past few months. Previously, the girls I've been with have all been airheads, which I don't find to be an attractive quality, but that's really all that is around me. I have been trying to figure out why it's only those type of girls who I've known, and you perhaps have hit the nail on the head. They all think I'm a very smart person so they flock to me.

they seem like some ideal but if ur in a big city and socialize at all u will meet these kind of people, nyc i have met them, they're just people who assume they can get whatever they want and then do whatever it takes to get it it just doesnt phase them, its weird but some people really do operate on this belief that the world is theirs...i'm sure los angeles, london, hong kong all have these people, and nyc absolutely does

the problem tho is i dont think u can change your personality to be that, as soon as u start accept less than your goal or start considering something only a fantasy or for "other people" etc. its already too late, once who meet a couple self-made rich people, the first one its like "probably got lucky" then its like "well, maybe he had family connections" but eventually you just have to admit that there are people that do whatever the fuck they want in life, and that those people are the one percent, and you are a fucking pleb, definitely ego crushing, itll melt ya snowflake..."but mom always said i was smart and special her little genius" so why does that guy have a phd from columbia and a million dollar business, shit im not special...damn u CHAD

The fine Silks that so often grace my loins while in my most tranquil of moments, laid 'neath the beating sun and betwixt my most ancient and generic bronze maidens, this fantastic quality is only second to my extensive collection of hides.
Join us, and together we will unravel the weeping existence you have led until this moment.

(I came up with this months ago and had fun with it for a while. I'd like to write but it always comes in these short things like this. Let me know if you enjoyed reading.

Yeah, don't give up, and never burn all your bridges. A lot of admirable people go through some major strife in their adolescent years, and sometimes you've got to be patient and bear the burden. I left college last year due to depression, but now I'm extremely relieved they're letting me come back.

No, I'm the guy who started this and I have a mighty book collection and a love for nature based activities. I've gone for a long time without internet and I CAN DO IT AGAIN. Truth be told, my middle school shattered my life. They gave me a free laptop to "Help Me" do my school work because I was deemed "Lower Class", like what the fuck does that even mean. 6th grade is when it all began. I got addicted to Pivot Stickfigure animations and mastered it myself but ALAS that wasn't enough. I had to torrent FLASH and learn how to animate. That led me nowhere. So then I began ripping models out of video games and uploading them to various websites with new textures and claiming them as my own work. You'd be surprised how much some nigger is willing to pay for a poorly detailed Banana Peel. FOOL. but then I upgraded to a MAC nad 3DS max isn't wineskinnable. BULLSHIT. So then I began music production. I'm still learning but whatever. i'm smarter than the rest of you in Music Theory, thanks to the help of my "Music Theory: For Dummies" book for 12.99 on Google Books.

I will be a writer some day. Lately i have been obsessed with the idea of creating a darknet blog(hosted on the onion patch) that acts as a beacon of information for drug users and dealers (think like the deepdotweb except independent and run by one dude, all text no images with a weekly monthly and yearly digest that encompasses news from all darkweb sources forums etc into one spot- perfect for those who disappear for months at a time and want to know how things change)

I also write in my diary desu but the beleaguered ramblings, free form skipping around makes it difficult to write on any subject. I prefer the distracted free flowing writing that entails nuggets of emotion rather than a dusty tome dedicated to SADNESS: ONES MAN EXPERIENCE

If i were to focus on a subject, it would encompass something akin to New Sincerity(dfw was a fraud in some ways but he was right- the slippery slope of pomo is unredeeming and we need a partial return to modernity), law (centering around the antagonism of authority or why authoritarianism has not worked for 5000+ years), alienation (kafka), substance use, relativism, the absurd (camus is one of my heroes [the fall, not the stranger camus], and technological renaissance (our technology is a double edged blade that cuts both ways- how can we use it to help rather than hurt etc)

I know i need community. I grew up (i counted) in 20 different “homes” over 20 years, with a revolving door of hosts, characters, friends, and lovers even. I am afraid of going to volunteer, or recreational sports, honestly. Not the thing itself. Just exposing myself to other people. Knowing that they will give me pain and i will love that pain (sadistic) yet knowing they will hate the pain i give them, and i feel like im robbing them

I appreciate your response and i know that i can get out of here. In a month i am moving out of state, away from my home state, to the desert.. it is my opportunity to be a different man

I knew a girl like this in college. She claimed to be very Catholic, very serious about God and tradition and all that. We went on walks and she wore very cute modest sun dresses. We talked about books and Italian neorealism and etymology and our families and our dreams. She seemed very passionate about politics too, she complained about how she was the only conservative in all of her classes, and how she thought liberalism was destroying the west. She was basically like a mix of /pol/ and /lit/ but slightly less racist and in the body of an extremely attractive 20 year old girl.

Later on I found her instagram and it's just pictures of her in extremely tight club dresses, with girlfriends, with drinks in hand, brunches, just incredibly basic stuff. I got a phone call from her number one Friday or Saturday night and it was some voice I had never heard yelling "come get your friend, she's puking everywhere, she can't walk, you need to drive here and get her." I had no idea where she was, and the person calling was very drunk too. After like 5 minutes of trying to figure out how to get to her location, the person just tells me, "never mind some guy here is taking her with him and he said it was fine." I asked who it was, if he was a friend or just some random date rapist, the person said they didn't know, it was just a guy who was at the bar. For all I know she could have been drugged and raped that night, or many other nights before or since.

I also want this. I generally enjoy the parts of books and movies and even video games before shit really hits the fan. The setup is the comfiest.

If you haven't read it you should read Oblomov. It has conflict and drama and stuff, but there is a chapter that is basically a dream sequence of his ideal idyllic country life and it's the comfiest thing I've ever read.
