I hate the fact that i did not spend more time cultivating some skill or talent. Wasting potential leads to a painful realization overtime that every moment of everyday passed could have been used to develop oneself. I spent a lot of time smoking pot as a way to rid myself of boredom, not realizing that the feeling of boredom could have been used as a catalyst to do some type of productive work.
I recently quit smoking and now am coming to terms with how much time i wasted and how many opportunities I foolishly forsook in the vain pursuit of empty pleasures. I was always told i have a knack for writing and have always enjoyed writing. I plan to practice writing more now. I want to write, but am unsure what type of writing I should specialize in. I have a an ambition to work as an actor in film and TV and have screenplay ideas I would like to flesh out. I also would like to write short stories, advertising (copywriting), and possibly even novels.

Feels good to put that out there.

Whenever I am truly earnest about something transcendent, like a completely revolutionary way of affirming my life, life as a whole... I begin to feel pressure. I grow hot and perhaps it is similar feelings to a physicality of anxiety, every time I breath it feels heavy, I feel immense pressure pushing down on my brain, my skull, I in the past have tried putting up with it but I had to put my mind off of it and forget such extreme focus on these matters for a time. Now that I notice I am returning in this hour, I have remembered it as an experience, and I am feeling it again. The pressure grows so difficult, but my strength will not fail, it just continues pushing. And I almost have the urge to grow ecstatic and laugh, like at those early hours of the morning where the brain is supposed to be dreaming, and you just laugh and have these gushes of emotions quickly for no more than a few seconds, or occasionally a more continuous subtle experience.

I've had an array of "spiritual" experiences and what would be called psychological revelation, though not adept at all in any of them or spirituality itself. It drains one.

Time being as finite as it is is a very frightening thing. There is no proper age to do the right thing, it's up to you do it and do it now. I wonder if telling yourself that you're going to get better and then failing one too many times hinders your ability to do so. I've been on a hundred different plans to be better and I'm still the same waste I was to start. I can't help but imagine with all the false starts I've broken my ability to believe myself and I'll remain a fireless drain for all my days. I can't imagine that existence, but at the same time I can't see myself actually becoming better either- I've lied so many times.

My yearning for intimacy has been a source of pain for my entire life. A part of me wishes I could cut it out of my mind like a tumor, but similarly I know I can't turn away from the challenge of being vulnerable over a few mishaps.

I just wonder what I'm doing wrong, or if this is all so I can learn to stand detached despite all the pain, and learn what my true priorities are. I know what they are, but for some reason I always round back to trying to fill that hole, only to end up struggling with bitterness.

My friends say I'm too pessimistic, and have to give the world a chance, but if every time I step up ends with frustration and humiliation, what am I really fighting for?

Of all the challenges in my life this one feels the most demanding of my attention, and the most limiting ones. I envy those who can just forge ahead in life without feeling the need to sacrifice their own freedom for a sake of meager comfort. Why am I so given to this weakness?

thanks! lemon, cumin, garlic, and cayenne create a spicy and bright base for vegetable soups that i really like in the summertime. leafy greens/cruciferous vegetables and lemon go well together. i like how sour and spicy flavors pair off. guves the soup a bit more dimension! also if you get a fond on the bottom from caramelizing the mushrooms and cooking the broccoli the lemon deglazes the pot and the brown bits flavor the soup really nicely

Who knows if what I tell myself is true. I suppose if I am to be sane at least I should be able to answer that question, namely me. To not believe what you think in feel is a form of mental disturbance. I know better but I want to know what lies beyond this word faith which is the common designation. I know I know beyond faith but I don't know what this higher knowing is. In other words I believe in intuition.
This "higher knowing" appears to us as if out of thin air, the hidden sum and convergence of patterns extracted from years of experience. Human life just seems cheeper than ever and the fundamental affliction of the west is that people don't believe life is worth living.

And that's the problem, I guess that's something I deeply want but can't seem to find it.

I always felt happier when this wasn't a concern, but it always creeps back because it's a blank area of experience I have to resolve in one way or another. There's no real quick and dirty way about it either, so I'm just left wondering what, why, and how in the fuck.

I always think how careful great authors are with their catalogue, making sure before they publish. Think of Dubliner, Artist, Ulysses, and Fin. His whole career was solidified by being very careful and considerate. Salinger too. Nabokov had to go back and rewrite the ones he published when he was a young Russian. You can tell from the introduction of King, Queen, Knave that despite how much he polishes it up and gives excuses and has to stand by it he regretted not just publishing so young but that very frantic “look at me I’m an author!” mentality. He definitely became a surgeon later in life, but I can’t think of anything more soul crushing then the commitments we have to our own past published works, having to go back, making apologetic introductions for them, even attempting to rewrite them. It makes me think of how in contact the greater artists are with time, considering what came before and what’s to come after and how that corresponds the entire body of work. It almost feels like all art is a immaterial craft, a work made for sentient perception. First mastering it, then providing a means for traversing immediacies boundaries, encapsulated brilliance. A masters sprezzatura is the real reflection of almighty creation. But where he embodies God isnt in what he does, any idiot can write, as we are all reflected in his image, but in his choice, the space, the difference. Nabokov’s “my pencils outlast their erasers” or Flaubert’s “The artist must be in his work as God is in creation, invisible and all-powerful; one must sense him everywhere but never see him” back up what I’m saying. What Flaubert said is particularly interesting. I think of the end, when Charles falls asleep and passes away- it feels so much like Flaubert lifting Charles out of the book, out of the nightmare. The book starts with Charles and ends with him. I always felt like Flaubert was aware that he was reflecting God, his protection, not for the weak, but the innocent, but also his malice, as he spares no mercy for the bastards, estranged from Father God, almost like the weeds to be cut and burned. It wasn’t in Charles’ to do only what only God could do, as Flaubert demonstrates, by his merciless distribution of cursed fates. When Flaubert lifts Charles out of the story, everything goes with him. As of to say, there is nothing no more to be written in his absence of the Father. The book went up in flames when he does away with the child, as if to say, the spirit goes with me, and what is left is just a corpse, just a book.

i hope sambo is afflicted with a pox, and his brother both sodomizes him, and steals all his "guitars", then sells them for less than a 1/4 of the total value. then he spends the money on whatever monkey pheromones (methamphetamines) to further instill him in a manic fit of psychosis. as sam lays crying for how much of an ugly shitskin failure he is, (the reason his pussy ass fuck dad died).
in reality sams father hated him, and put on a front of poverty out of spite to prevent any form of happiness to sprout in that favela monkey's fucking shitty life. Shit-genes-mcfaggot-loving-son-having gorrila man, purposely restricted the flow of income to the family, because he couldn't trust anyone to prevent giving sam a cut of the money, so nobody had a share at all. Imagine sam, you directly caused your family's poverty when you slipped out your concubine's dirty tarpit of a womb. This is why his brother stole the loot his father was keeping from them all. Then, in a lapse of self reflection while he's wallowing in his own misery, sam's brother comes back to collect whatever remaining wealth the family has. in his exasperation of finding nil, he will slaughter sam's slut mother with his bare hands, right in front of poor sambo. in the midst of the commotion, an electrical short sparks up a slow burning flame that is only fanned by the house (constructed of dung) and burns them all slowly to a crisp.

The comfort of having one’s true self fit easily into the norm seems so blissful to me. Alienated people tend to rage against the public in defense of their individualism but I don’t find that appealing. The serenity of feeling welcome to the public is nothing to mock, it’s a natural human desire, just as natural as wanting to be authentic. There should be balance in how we engage the two worlds, but for those like myself that seems unrealistic because our authenticity feels irreconcilable with the public. Even worse is that people who express these feelings generally just mean “I’m vehemently racist and people are being mean about it :(“ but that’s not true alienation, as the authentic self cannot be a bigot, bigotry still belongs to the public. I don’t resent the public, I would like to be “tranquilized” by its open arms. But a bridge between myself and the “they” sometimes feels hopeless to build.

Humans suck at relationships and love.
Unfortunately, their interpersonal incompetence has no impact on their libido. This led to people craving sex but having nobody that wants to have sex with them. The solution to this is to force people to have sex. In order to do that, you have to be able to see them as an object that exists only to serve you. In order to be able to degrade a human being to merely an object, you have to convince yourself of your superiority. That‘s exactly what abrahamic religions advocate when it comes to men and women. Convincing oneself of one’s superiority in order to exploit others is a very old concept that goes back to the beginnings of agriculture, where owning people suddenly became lucrative. This can only be solved if men and women alike become able to see how much they could achieve if they joined their qualities instead if comparing them.

real talk, men and women are not that different. For every 'men' quality it's just a tendency to that quality. Note, tendency. That tendency is further strengthened by education/society etc etc. It was always very easy for me to understand women, and its simply because i don't consider them anything special. Not really, they are special and I think in some way their beauty is divine, but they think in the same way i do, just from a slightly different angle. I feel bursts of completely femenine urges and burst all the time, I just dont choke them out and let them go out. Jung talks alot about these feminine/masculine qualities.
Youre right that most description of feminie qualities are quite bad. That's because, in part, most of the canon is manly and so our culture values manly virtues. Are manly virtues really better or it's simply what we think? what do you think? Youve been granted an intellect and qualties which you can explore, why don't you explore them then say what you believe? If you truly find that you prefer manly qualities then you can cultivate them same as I let bursts of compassion out, even though to me those bursts seem completely feminine.

It‘s only a testament to the narrowmindedness of some. Ofc some desirable qualities are more often found in men. But desirable qualities men often lack are more often found in women and vice versa. The idea is that men and women join their desirable qualities in order to generate a somewhat functional humanity. The issue today is that women have been told for thousands of years that they are inferior and thus should try to focus on establishing male qualities in order to make up for their inferiority in those areas when they should have been encouraged to focus on their inherent desirable qualities and enhance them. Now we have men who lack being balance out by desirable feminine qualities from their mothers/wifes/daughters and women who lack both in masculine and feminine qualities since they can‘t live up to men who work on their masculine Qualities but have been given the advice to neglect their feminine qualities for the sake of chasing something that isn‘t meant to be theirs.

I know she was terrible for me, and would never fulfill my needs mentally and emotionally, but it still hurt to see her act like nothing was ever there, give her affection to another, and still expect my attention and care.

With her it's the same tired conversations, her complaining about her life and her cowardice; her not understanding anything I try to share and explain to her. My friend warned me not to even try with her, saying I deserved better. She was right and I should've listened, but I guess I was tired of being alone. I hated feeling trapped in myself and unable to express any kind of feeling; now I'm paying the price.

The thing I hate most is how two people I really care about had to witness my idiocy. I know they don't really think ill of me, but I can't help but feel that I lost credibility, like the whole enterprise was beneath my dignity, but still I succumbed.

I do it for my own principles, my own ideal of what friendship is, and how it should be acted out. my being, more or less, is the primary force in my interactions with others, no matter their degree of intimacy, rather than the substance of the relationship itself, and thus i always am making the choice rather than being drawn to an interaction by something greater than my self-imposed attitudes and principles.

What you need is to seek out people you can connect with. Why are you friends with your friends?

Read psychology book, you can start with freuds psychoanalysis lectures, its a book written for people new to his idea. Remember most of what freud said or thought is not really agreed with today but I still think the start of the psychologic thought can help you.
Rape can come from many different sources, it's not a one reason. I personally think the main reasons are a mix of libido and plain cruelty, possibly with a mixture of dehumanizing the woman. But im just basing that on my gut feeling to people who will randomly rape someone in the dark (I am not a psychologist or anything like that).

I've only watched Destiny 3 times.
>vs. Nick Fuentes
Destiny asked for sources. Nick couldn't provide any. It turned into an embarrassing shitshow for Nick, as it looked like he didn't do his homework.
>vs. Gariepy & AltHype
Within 5 minutes, it turned into Gariepy & AltHype explaining basic concepts from high school biology to Destiny, who clearly did not know the bare minimum knowledge to debate on this topic. IIRC, they invited some random roastie retard, and the debate turned into an embarrassing shitshow for all parties involved.
>vs. Mister Metokur
Mister Metokur held his own for hours and had answers to everything Destiny could throw at them. It was congenial until Destiny lost his nerve and ragequit. This was the best debate IMO, as unlike AltHype, Mister Metokur knew to go for the throat when he spotted weakness. Destiny *never* allows a mistake to go unpunished, which is how he enables himself to get the better of his opponents despite being far less educated than he presents himself to be.

Overall, Destiny is a moron, but he's useful as a litmus test for figuring out which "right-wing" pundits are hacks/grifters and which ones have even a shred of intelligence and integrity.

work wouldn't be that bad if it paid a shit. everything is low wage survival jobs now, even shit that used to provide a middle class lifestyle, or even upper middle class. now it's just a muddy wash of barely-not-poverty.

i fuck around half the day and then charge my employer time and a half overtime pay 10+ hours a week just to get the fucking paycheck i should be getting to begin with. but of course this is yet another temp gig job. i can't get hired for ANY permanent job. none. even shit i've been doing for 3 fucking years and have a degree in. no one wants to just fucking hire me. so i jump from temp job to temp job and the unemployed period in the middle eats whatever meager savings i managed to build up

fuck this shit. i don't even enjoy living and it's so damned expensive.

It seems to me that being outwardly unhappy, as in making it abundantly clear to those around you that your life is hard, your job is hard, it's hot out, and then trying to spread that misery is morally repugnant. Reality exists, and it exists in a way that you have to deal with it every day. Accept it, overcome it, do not bemoan it and spread your self pity. Do not salt the earth around you. In other words, buck up buttercup. Things aren't so bad.

Jesus Christ, writing is hard! Trying to convey into words the ideal in my head is like seeing the body of your unborne child. I believe that revision will do the trick, but getting to finish the first draf is proving itself as the hardest task I've ever put myself through. I know that if I write as little as 500 words per day, in a year I'll have it done. But something in the back of my head tells me to rush as if my life depended on it.

This. Paradoxically, the trick to improving as a writer is not writing more, but reading. Noting down ideas as you do so, things that you like, understanding why you like them. Visualizing in you head the different types of books that you could write, the different types of stories and styles. Also, writing is a discipline where you can draw on every little bit of life that you experience, every medium that you engage in, everything that you think about.

Then, you just try it out, and that 500 words a day isn't a bad number at all. If you keep at it, in a few months you'll be a completely different person with a novel under your belt, and you'll move on to the next one and the next one, and so on.

The anti - women rhetoric on the chans (and I'd wager this is especially true on /lit/) is the product of a middle class suburban American experience that combines sexual prudishness with its simultaneous omnipresence. Incels don't believe that modest women exist because their exposure to women (and other people) is limited to the slutty halls of the university, and they're terrified of sexually confident women because their prudish middle class upbringing means they were raised in an environment where sex was treated with this sort of tabboo sanctity that manifests later on in pathology. These same problems do not exist amongst working class immigrant communities where sex is less political and more a dirty but accepted part of life.

I'm not uncomfortable around women in general at all. I never had trouble talking to girls platonically, throughout my life I've always been friendly with them at work or school. But as soon as I'm trying to do something romantic my nerves go from 0 to 100. It's not even just this, I get really anxious when I go into stores and have to deal with random people in situations like that too. I'm 24 and go to the liquor store every week and my body still gets as shaky as when I was 20 drinking illegally in a bar. Girls always pick up on me being super fidgety and I'm funny enough to play it off but I always end up scrambling and messing things up at a certain point.

People always say that it'll happen eventually but it never does. When I look back on all of the opportunities I had since I was like 16 where I was either too nervous to make a move or too oblivious to realize I should it definitely pisses me off. I do feel like I missed out on having fun with girls that I genuinely got along with and now I don't have any girls like that in my life, I haven't since college, and I don't know when the next time I will again.

Iktfb - I used to be like this and still am to a degree. I can exude confidence on the outside, but my body gives me away. No matter how 'calm' I am, my suppressed nerves still show themselves in shaky hands and fidgeting etc. However, this only happens to me on dates, and not as bad as it used to be. I don't get it at all from regular social interactions, although in high school I used to be very socially anxious. It sounds like you've heard this advice before anon so I wont belabor the point but I'll share my experience anyway. You've got to slowly erode that barrier that gives a fuck about what other people will think of you. You need to strengthen the part of your brain that things "fuck what anybody thinks its impossible for me to feel embarrassed, anybody elses opinions of me are worthless I'm going to act how I want." You fuck up a date? Who cares? It was probably her fault anyway.

You ever met those super loud guys who constantly make fools of themselves but everybody loves them anyway? It's becuase they've got they attitude. I'm not saying you should do a complete 100% personality change, but shifting to that mindset in small doses helped me immensely. What you need is to develop a sort of arrogance in a way. This is what nonchalance really is.

Oh, yes, you probably think that they're so ignorant. They don't even stop to ask questions, or think to answer them. They just live their lives without having to do such things. And you hope that one day, they will all pay for it. That one day, it will be over for them, and they will get what they deserve.

But you're wrong. You're just some lonely kid living in a world you've made for yourself, inventing questions and answering them just to make yourself feel better. In reality, you're not even an onlooker - you're just a loser. You're living your life incorrectly, or rather, you're not living at all.

And at some point, you'll stop pursuing answers. You'll be to tired to even ask questions.

Pretty much all these incels have the following in common: skinny with young features. And about half are ethnic.

With a few exceptions, the are not unattractive - but I do sincerely think that the youthfulness of their faces is what makes them less appealing to the opposite sex. In some ways their youth makes them appear almost sexless. It's not that they're ugly, they just don't seem like they can even fuck. I wonder if these guys bulked up just a tiny bit (not necessarily swole, just a bit of extra weight) and dressed more maturely (less hoodies and $5 jeans) they might have a tiny bit more luck. They all seem like nice young men in any respect, I am not worried about them in the slightest.

How many times over the years have you dreamed of being dead to the world? Towards the end of college you thought of joining the Trappists when, that summer night, you went to the beach after reading The Sign of Jonas and felt the night sky closing in on you. After you failed out of graduate school you would dream of sailing off into the ocean with no destination. Joshua Slocum was your inspiration.

Be optimistic - the dating app model is unsustainable. They need to break their own apps more and more in order to ring a profit out of them.

Dating apps weren't the norm yet and 4chan was less populated and functioned less like a low investment social media platform. People here were more likely to have a reason to be here and it was more likely to be a meaningful one. Some of those were women and you could meet occasionally meet one, usually during their biweekly depressed episode where they post contact info, talk to some schizo orbiters for a while and mostly regret it.

Those women are still here but they are less likely to give out contact info now that it's is bigger and shallower. Also they get their attention supply from apps and from being e-girls on discord.

When I was in high school, the greatest teacher I ever had told me he wished I would be more confident, since I always sounded unsure of myself when I raised my hand in class, but was usually right. Whenever I start arguing with someone, I think back to this. In an argument, I am always the first person to 'collapse', to agree for the sake of it even if I think I'm right because I hate conflict. But in practice, this allows people to step on you. If someone insults you and your first reaction is to deescalate or try to be sensible, you'll still suffer for letting yourself care about what they say. From now on, I can't let myself do that. If someone is shit talking me or being a fool, I need to fight them on it since to do otherwise shows no respect for myself. I once read that a valuable lesson you learn in your 30's is you learn to stop trying to convince people of things you know are correct. The more I think about it, the more that makes sense.

But then again its probably just the anti-depressants, I need to get off of them as soon as possible they can destroy your brain chemistry if you're on them too long

I'm conflicted on it, while its good to have less of a libido because its easier to cut away from porn and being a coomer, its giving me feeling like I made a mistake somewhere and its not actually helping me, basically I'm having doubts, though both too low of a libido and too high of a libido signal problems, a normal one is what you should strive for

I think most people could relate to that anon, myself included (had a thing for painting and drawing as a kid but completely dropped it). Only very few kids grew up with one particular passion or talent that they fleshed out throughout the years, and most of the time they come from a wealthy background because supporting a child's talent is usually really expensive

I really appreciate /lit/ as a space where people can speak anonymously about their true opinions on books, writers, publishing, literary trends, whatever. I'm not bothered by most of the cultural bugaboos society has today which cause discourse to be so constrained under real names and accounts, and some of the contrarian takes on here, including from genuinely racist and misogynist perspectives, are well-reasoned and deserve consideration. But I think it's a real shame how often this license to speak freely is just used for back-and-forth bickering about who is more mad or who had the pseud interpretation of the thrice-translated obscurantist philosopher of the moment. Such potential, continually gone to seed.

Thinking about just quitting college and asking to work at a book shop i really like if they'll give me a job. I did two courses over a year that felt almost completely useless in the long run. Yeah, it was fun having a routine and i was forced a little outside my comfort zone, but the first course was just general creative shit, and the second was musical theatre when my actual passion is acting and writing. I was told i had to do both before i could move on to an acting one but now i'm in a lower level course than before because i failed my interview horribly, even when i was told i had a good audition, because i had no experience in actual acting or theatre since i was forced to do fucking musicals instead.

You should ask yourself what you will gain out of improving in each one, too. Ideally you will learn German because there is something you want to do with German (ex. read Faust), or practice piano to play difficult music or become a composer and so on. Even if you choose a hobby mainly because it is fun, goal-setting will help you improve with commitment and passion as you mention. If you have no long-term aim in any of these, you'll stop learning the moment you grow bored, and the benefits you would have gained will be lost.
