Whenever I start trying to get my life together--cutting down drinking, eating healthily, cleaning my apartment--my drive to read and write plummets immediately. Then when I finally get the urge to write again, I do so, but then also immediately start drinking after, which leads to all the other things coming back.

I scored a date this coming Friday with a girl of darker skin, and I find myself inordinately troubled by the thought of her being either more Hispanic or more African/Black. I can't quite tell from her photos. Her features are not typically Black, her bone structure is more European/Hispanic than Black. But her skin is very dark.

In particular I find myself inordinately worried that her long hair isn't real, but a wig. I don't know why this is causing me to obsess, but it is. It looks pretty real, but I know wigs can look very convincing. There's something unnerving to me about dating a girl who wears fake hair all the time, and I'm not sure why.

I suppose maybe she's Afro-Caribbean? They tend to have this mix of features, right?

Learning that all black woman hair I see every day is just a wig changed my life. It was like when I learned that some women don't just have darker eyes but that is actually "eyeshadow." And they don't just have long eyelashes, those are fake.

The more I learn about women the less I understand them. As a man I was not equipped innately to comprehend the possibility that women would all walk around wearing fake hair shipped overseas from a chinaman. I can't imagine that. Learning this piece of information pierced my reality and reshaped it. I feel like I'm going to find out next that all women have prosthetic limbs.

Did you know it's now very normal for women to get "mild" plastic surgery and regular injections? The injections are a few hundred dollars. That's why they all look the same now. Normal high school girls and basic bitches who work in offices are getting lip injections and so forth. It's very frightening. I pray for a redeemer.

There's a sign in the rain
Every now and again
It is a symbol of hope
In the midst of a catastrophic episode

In the hour of death
There's a spiritual wealth
When we dance through the rain
And form the signs once again
If even for a second

I hear a voice on the air
It has a warning to share
"Don't believe what you see"
"You can't perceive what you feel"

But if I do what I'm told
And shun the spirit I hold
I'm no longer a human
And I will not shift with the sands

Either a piece is missing or I'm being misled

I am a man of obsessive passions, but I have not felt passion in a very long time. I've done everything in my power to get it back, knowing that a life without these obsessions is worse than death, but neither medications nor therapy nor the internet have helped in any way and I no longer believe I have no control over my circumstances.

Everyone I've asked said the same thing: It's unhealthy to want to be obsessed and I shouldn't be trying. I think these people can go fuck and kill themselves in that order, but a part of me realizes that if I accept that I no longer have the power to solve my crisis, my only hope is that I'm wrong and they're right. In order to do that I need to figure out what I really need out of life, and I don't know how to find it. I can't find a deeper motivation or missing connection.

If ir weren't for my desire for (you)'s I'd have left this place ages ago. Last year I feel like I was so close to making it so close to finally leaving this goodness forsaken place and I find myself here again. Over and over. Ad nauseum. It wouldn't be half as bad if I felt that I was getting anything of substance here, not just /lit/ but 4channel.org as a whole. But no. I just wake up, go to my retarded job that I only do to pay for school and shitpost in bait islam threads for hours on end.
I keep telling myself that today will be the day. After work/class I'm going to get up, put on my running shoes, and go outside for a hike.
I live in such a beautiful part of the world that you'd think that I'd have even an ounce of desire to do such a thing. I could go /out/ for 5 minutes and see a beautiful waterfall, or the top of a cliff and overlook my beautifu town, but no. In the last half hour, or even 15 minutes of my work on the farm my mindset goes from,
>hey, today is a new day
to >fuck, guess I'll just sit down and shitpost on 4chan again tonight.

What the fuck am I doing with my life, man. I'm only in this stupid situation to pay for my university and hopefully build a better life for my parents and family, but if I can't even sit down and read one of my many boods that Ive recieved over the years from family memvers, then what is the jive with trying to do a double major?
I'm just so tired anons. Tired of this place, and the addictions thatit feeds.
everytime I get a (you) I'm reminded of the times that I successfully baited anons into thinking I really was interested in women's studies. Or when I got those sick digits in that one /sig/ thread on /fit/
I've wanted to read The Desert Fathers, and Path to Salvation, Ive wanted to read the Illiad, the Odyssey, my various books on computer science and maths, that book of poetry I got from a good friend who thought I'd like it, starting strength, the various farming manuals I have for growing veggies, and the places to go hiking, and how to play the trumpet better, and how to make a neural network that sounds like me or one of my many self help books and the list goes on and on and on and on.
I have friends. i have people in my church who care for me and friends that are out improving themselves (one of which I'm actually helping keep on track) and my family who supports me in this thick and thin, but it always seems for naught. They're all normalfags and dont give the bantz or deep and meaningful convos that you can get here.
All this place does is feed my porn addiction, and my general narcissism and superiority complex (despite me doing fuck all with my actual life)
I just wanna talk. I just wanna write with people who understand me. I just want to be normal. Why did I have to find this place, and why did my autism bring me back.
I'm not suicidal but if I could just move away and start fresh in some other corner of the globe I would in an instant.

Cults are generally looked down upon. People usually say it's because it deprives others of free will. But really, most people don't exercise their free will in society, they effectively act as adherents to a very large cult of normality.

I now understand the mess that is me, but I don't know how to fix it

Put simply, I don't believe humans have any intrinsic value. I value people purely for what they can do. I apply that same logic to myself, only valuing what I can do with my gifts and weighing it against my regrets and failures as well as the successes of others. This means that any moment I'm not getting value out of myself is wasted, and consequently can't be happy unless I'm using my brain or being funny. I envy the gifts of others and fear not being able to produce value

What then do I need to convince myself of? That humans are intrinsically valuable? That my regrets no longer matter? That my value is not decreasing?

anything with potential energy has the potential for action. Humans aren't special.

Technically even refrigerators do that. What then? Our ability to create? Most people can't do that so it's not making the average person valuable, just the exceptionally valuable ones.

I remember going to see the ocean years ago with a girl I thought I'd marry. It was a practice of sorts, an American art of learning how to be effective and economical tourists. It was also a marker for us - we were in our early twenties. I was of decent economic means already, and she was of rich enough stock that her lack of work didn't concern either of us. Nonetheless, I insisted we split the beach-adjacent hotel. That allowed us to pretend it was a fair exchange, though the money came from a credit card her mother paid for, and though I paid for the shared meals, and though the only money she spent was on novelty treats from a quaint shop that she bought for their photogenic value. But I was in love, of course, and I would even say she was in love with me. But men and women have irreconcilably different loves.

When women love, they love like flower pickers, like art curators, or like collectors of fine hearts and fancy notions. They, moreso than men, trust in that intuitive notion that the quality of what is around them speaks to the pedestal they themselves deserve. Ironically, "lovingly", "naturally", they seat themselves just above their cultivated aesthetic, as a sort of authorial royalty-payment. Men are much more keen to the fact that the worth of love is better known to be pragmatic, less rose colored, and only hollowly inflated by "pretty" and "romantic" sensibilities.

Youth, storming as it is, confuses the human animal, man or woman, and engenders fantasies of unified souls and entangled destinies. Something all good and well for those who reproduce, but for her, for I, we fucking fool-hearted creatures, it was only ever the symmetry of faces and the friction of skin that bound us. Yet still, I think of that trip to the ocean, and most fondly think of the lengthy drive, where somehow we couldn't possibly be tired of each other. In fact, it was quite the opposite.

It seems like regardless of what I do, I am trapped in an unending spiral of my own demise. I am too lazy to search for a way out, too self-centred to ask for help, too insecure to show even the faintest notion of weakness. Not long ago I showed my true colors and was completely rejected for it. Nothing can free me, not drugs, not booze, not women, not books, not food, not cars, not God, not the Dao, not Nirvana, not logic.

My mom is driving me crazy. I'm really heavily introverted and need a lot of time to myself. My mom came into town last week and has insisted on taking up tons and tons of my time every day. I get off of work at 8am, wait two or three hours for her to wake up and get ready, by which time I'd normally be getting ready for bed and winding down. It's like I get off work and go right back to work. My writing is suffering for it. I just feel mentally drained and stressed out. I'm probably going to have to tell her it's about time for her to get going and go back home. It makes me feel like a bit of a bastard but my entire life is getting messed up by accommodating her. This is the time of year I have very, very little actual work to do at my job and when I get the most time to write uninterrupted and my mom's sucking up all my energy during this period I've been looking forward to all season. She's talking about staying for a fucking month, and I'm going crazy after less than a week. The worst part is that I can't even relax in those two or three hours I'm waiting for her in the morning because I know I have to go out later, which prevents me from totally settling into what had become a comfortable rhythm.

>how can you feel like a woman, if you aren’t one
How can you feel like a conservative if you aren't one? How can you feel like a liberal or an ancap or a Marxist or whatever? None of these things are physical objects that take a physical form. If you have no problem attributing to living, breathing humans some abstraction or another, then why not the abstraction of womanhood? It is actually an abstraction in the way trannies mean. Being a woman is a lot more than just having a vagoo and a set of functioning ovaries, after all. It is a social role with its own set of standards and cultural distinctions which dramatically exceed the possession of a specific reproductive organ. Really, the whole YOU WILL NEVER BE A BIOLOGICAL WOMAN thing is a complete red herring. No tranny actually believes they are a biological woman. It's the social structures around womanhood they identify and emphasize with, to the point where they "feel like a woman" in a man's body.

Trannies personally make me deeply uncomfortable to be around, but what I can say in their defense is that MTF tranners are almost as a rule at least one standard deviation in IQ. They think about this issue way more deeply than you do, and your "crystallized" musings are unironically and genuinely just poorly thought out. I have a certain degree of sympathy for them. I am myself a veteran, another demographic constantly the butt of jokes and "opinions" (if you can really even call them that) bandied around on the internet by genuine idiots who think their opinions are bluntly, a lot more rational and cogent than they really are.

When did I ever say you couldn't be friends with her? Sure things are little bit awkward, but we're both adults. And we've been fine, things are OK between us. I can't be your only friend on the face of the planet. You have to accept that we are just friends. I'm not your life partner. At some point you have to make other friends. Maybe a boyfriend. I'm sorry that I can't help you in that respect, I wish that I could. But you are an adult also and you have to take your own initiative at a certain point.

I get what your saying but don't those things that make women, women also have a huge effect on how they see themselves? They can give birth to children whereas men cannot, they ovulate monthly whereas men can not. they have very little testosterone so cannot build the same muscle mass. I have no hate for trannies at all but one cannot be what one is not. this is also true of their gender idenitity, they don't feel totally male and I generally beleive that is the case for them.

Take the example of a bird, an eagle. It's wings and ability to fly at high speeds give it a totally different physical perspective on the world. If a bird were able to talk, I doubt we could even properly communicate with it as it's physical characteristics literally give it a view of humanity. What I'm saying is that biology can in many ways determine what and how we think. A bird is a bird because it can fly. A woman is a omen because they can ovulate. Imagine if we strapped wings to a cat, it would fly like a cat imitating a bird, not a bird itself.

Who said I wasn't my own person? Who said I wouldn't accept friendship with her? And most importantly, who said you were my only friend? Maybe your confusion is based in some naïve assumption that friends were meant to be like distant planets in adulthood, or that you actually believe - ironically enough - in the idea that people have a choice in certain inevitable matters. Of course you're my friend. One of the closest. And you've seen me at my lowest, and hopefully, at some point, that gives you the courage, if you ever get there, to lean on me. Because I'll be there. When did I ask you to live my life? It surely wasn't in moon-lit cig-chats or after waking up at noon. Of course I know it has been hard, hell, harder for you. But the catastrophes of life don't all happen at the same time. The curtain never closes for this fucking meat-grinder life.

a lot of people can do things that other people cannot, or do things that other people do not. it's not a life-changing experience to have periods every month. moreover, most women are on the pill anyway - so, are they not women anymore, because they do not ovulate? there are also women who don't have children, or can't have children. women and men aren't like cats and birds in that they aren't two intrinsically different species whose experiences are intrinsically inaccessible to one another. human experience is a spectrum, all people have individually different experiences and even individually different biological makeups, yet they can understand one another.

It is true that the period acts as a shocking symbol of the beginning of sexual maturation. I will never be a woman (thank god) but I can imagine how that is a scary and shocking experience for girls. That said, is it all that significant for an adult woman who's been bleeding every month since puberty? After a certain point doesn't it just start becoming an inconvenience?

But bro if you factor out all the primes and add them together you only get 7...?! 7 is only one more than 6, and three sixes together are the number of the beast. If we extrapolate this outwards we can begin to see that women don't ovulate once per month, twelve months per year but instead in cycles of six – three cycles, to be precise. But these sixes always want to be seven because 7 is the number of God, so we can further separate those cycles into "weak" sixes and "strong" sixes, being the God cycles and the Beast cycles respectively. But we are still six short. These are the cycles you mistake for twelve. You have an alternating dynamic between the weak and strong cycles, which are really two sides of the same coin composing the original six Cycles of Man Eggs. Since there are only two genders according to God's plan, it makes sense that each egg must alternate in its gender, making up the six Male cycles and the six Female cycles, together composing the twelve. Thus I have proven that the ovulating cycles of women are tied not to the moon and the seasons but instead to God himself.

So let me see if I can piece this all together. Astrology is true for women because their menstrual cycles cause them to be somehow "linked" to the moon, which makes them more in tune with the environment. Women believing in astrology is evidence that it is true, but only for women because of their menstrual cycles linking them to the moon. Because trannies can never ovulate, they can never forge this cosmic connection to the moon and thus can never believe in astrology. Am I missing anything?

For the memester gynaecological astronomers above, there is actually a statistically significant impact of lunar cycles on menstrual cycles.

women are part of earth and nature, but men aren't part of earth and nature. men do not even inhabit the earth. astrology is real. but only for women. because astrology is nature. women are nature. men can't be in tune with nature, because men aren't even human. dude, the moon is so majestic, women are magical. women are moon people because they bleed from their vagina (but not at all in accordance with moon cycles, and at different times). there is a moon god who sits on the moon. i worship the moon.

Sure. But it's making a mountain out of a molehill. Invoking the moon is an attempt at giving the argument some kind of cosmic gravitas that has no rigorous logic behind it. His argument isn't just that women's periods line up sometimes with the cycles of the moon, but that there is some kind of special "woman-essence" BECAUSE of this, by virtue of which YWNBAWBTM (you will never be a woman because the moon) etc.

Well, if it is a gravitational effect, then its likely female biology is especially prone to that effect and it might extend beyond menstrual cycles. The association with the lunar cycle is strong enough that several primitive societies with very impractical medical views could observe it casually. Trannies could just get moonstones and act like bitches only around a specific moon phase, and pass better than those females who are less influenced by lunar cycles, so I don't see why you're complaining.

i don't see why the effect of the moon would extend beyond menstrual cycles for women, and at the same time not extend on men at all. if the moon's effect extends beyond menstrual cycles, it extends on all humans. do you think that the gravity of the moon does not apply to men? men exist beyond gravity?

I can only make guesses but the fact they're a sacred cow now in mainstream Western media makes it very tempting for a lot of this site's audience to shit on them as much as possible, not unlike Christianity bashing back when religion had a slightly firmer grip on America. It's become a very mainstream thing in the past 5 years, so tons of people are being told it's normal, and a lot of people react with disgust on 4chan because they have no outlet to do that irl without repercussions. For them to come up a certain amount nowadays is expected. But some people seem fixated on them to an unhealthy degree.

The Earth may as well be infinite. I think about that often. There's so much stuff that no one will ever experience in its entirety. Hell, just a big city or a small country are already inconceivably vast. An individual can never see all the nooks and crannies of even a single city. A family that lives in a city for ten generations isn't enough to experience ALL of it. Even a single city may as well be infinite. Yet, there's almost no place on Earth untouched by human hands. So really, mankind itself also may as well be an infinite. One even larger than Earth. It's sublime.

I've realized that my two biggest flaws and major reasons for the current state of my life are fear and laziness.
I've never learned to face fear and I managed to just run away and hide during my life. I get paralysed, my mind goes blank and I can only avoid things or run away. I can't climb a ladder because I am scared of the height, never tried to socialize and make friends because I am afraid of embarassment and people, never tried to get a gf because I was afraid of women, and so on. I kept running away and hiding in my inner world and my fantasies, never leaving my comfort zone. I was too afraid of the world to live it.
I was always told by my parents, relatives and teachers that I was very smart and came to the stupid conclusion that it was enough and that the world was my oyster because I was smart, after all, I didn't put any effort in school and still always got good grades. Then in college, I managed to go through it with the bare minimum of dedication and the situation continued. As the result, I never truly applied myself into anything, never developed a passion, I floated numbly through life and stagnated with no skills.

I am young, I hope there is still time to fix this. I don't have money to pay for a psychologist, so I'll have to do it on my own.

I'm invited to a wedding. I'm really 50/50 desu, but I think the groom very much wants me to come. I've understood that he likes me a lot even though we haven't known eachother for very long. I like him fine too, mostly, but there are some things that are grating between us that a person who felt more confident standing up for themself would maybe have aired, but which I, being meek beyond virtue, have not. There is some unsaid stuff between us, but I can't really get into details without doxxing myself. Right now I just want to vent a little. I don't think I want to go, and the reason is that I'm not doing great and I really struggle to hide if something is wrong and it kind of is and we would really kind of need to clear the air, but I don't think he has the time before the wedding. I really, really don't want to go to his weddins with a negative energy about me, that seems almost criminally wrong to do with someones wedding. So I guess I shouldn't go.

I don't fit in anywhere. I can't seem to form meaningful relationships with people. I think the wrong thoughts. The things I'm into are weird and offputting and I'm into them for the wrong reasons. The things I care about seem to always turn out badly or end up being a poor thing to care about in the first place. I can't express myself well and I wonder if I'm much less intelligent than those around me. Everything about my personaliyty and thinking abilities seems stunted and misguided in comparison to my peers.
That would all be fine if I was passionate and happy enough, but over the last 5 to 7 years I've slowly lost the ability to meaningfully enjoy or find passion in my interests or activities. My senses are dull and I can't take pleasure or find enjoyment in anything but the most fleeting moments. I'm alive, but not living my life. It's like I'm watching it happen to someone else.

Perhaps we have hobbled ourselves from understanding the true meaning of the death of God. We tend to say "we moderns don't believe in God" as though it is a proposition which we soundly reject. We apparently mean "we moderns don't think God exists". Yet I maintain this is entirely foolish. People very rarely think, and masses do not think at all. They believe, and belief has nothing to do with propositions. Meaning, for the living human being is, as Wittgenstein brilliantly exposed, "is a feeling of familiarity". Our problem in assessing the Godless world is that we don't realize that God is something which we have actually forgotten. Is this impossible to accept?
Maybe it is that we are no longer stricken with fear. Many things. Maybe it is also that we no longer live in large continuous generations of family and kin. We no longer believe in danger, and we no longer believe in consequences. Of course, why would people like that believe in God! If we only believe, as moderns do, that life is a comfortable experience contained within my single lifetime, then there is no need for realizing God.

I know I can't do it. Maybe it's the crowd I hang out with but none of my peers can do it either. We're all university educated, high achievers etc. but having graduated into the white collar workforce a year or two ago we now all want to neck ourselves. Maybe it's true that our generation is weaker and more entitled? I feel like the 9-5 work day legitimately takes its toll on my physical health, let alone mental. Yet, my parents were able to do it? With that said, my dad would return home from work completely miserable and exhausted each night and sit in silence drinking beer in front of the TV... so maybe they didn't handle it so well...

It means some of their physiology is already recognized as more regularly influenced by gravity. If the influence of moon phases on menstrual cycles is gravitational, it would make sense considering the already present biological factors which make women more prone to effects of the earth's gravity.
It could however be driven by other factors than the moon's gravity, but the most likely cause given what we know about gravity's sharper effects on female biology is that the moon's gravity might influence menstrual cycles. There are potential other causes, but the facts that there's a significant correlation between menstrual and lunar cycles, and between birth sex and gravitational impacts are well demonstrated. Women are scientifically more connected to the effects of gravitational changes on earth and in space, and it would make far more sense that the moon has a similar gravitational effect which explains the lunar/menstrual cycle correlations than other possible explanations (such as magic, or even luminosity of the moon).

>>18518107
It changes your perception quite a bit when you realize women are literally flooded with replies no matter what, so they're naturally incentivized to reply only to the best of the best since at least one 8/10 or 9/10 guy responds usually. So don't think of it as a personal failure, or that you're unattractive, but rather that you weren't one of the hottest 2-3 guys who said something to her.

Any relatively smart person who ever uses a dating app soon realizes it was never meant to be this way. It totally fucks up the dynamic of actual dating, and trains us to constantly aim up and place a value on appearances above all else. Not to mention all the positive traits people have that online dating doesn't allow you to make use of, like how you carry yourself, which is the majority of human communication. It's easy to lose some self-esteem from these apps, but you have to remember - if no one contacts you, it's not because you're not good enough, but because you're not among the hottest upper echelon of guys who horde all the responses, because that's how this works in reality.

you should never use dating apps. they are cancer. you do not determine attraction through pictures and texting, attraction is physiological thing. especially for a woman, she needs to see how you behave in front of her in real life to determine whether or not she is attracted to you. a woman could be very attracted to you if she met you personally, but not even look at your picture on a dating app. dating apps are bs.
