How does /b/ cope with the painful reality of life's lack of point or meaning?
Me:
>Smoke pot. non stop.
>Masturbate.
>Sleep with random Tinder people
>Listen to excessively technical or abstract music to make myself feel like i'm better than other people. Still realise I'm a piece of shit waste of space but at least i've got something fun in my life.
>Play videogames; get good; feel better about useless self
>>675141651
Life goals and weed
By stopping caring.
Life is much easier when you close your heart
>>675141651
Life has meaning, quit being edgy and do something with yourself

>>675143189
Then why are you moaning about a lack of meaning?
>>675143057
cheers, anon.
>>675143289
because i am a pathetic, pretentious pussy.
>>675143277
My dubs require you to provide sauce.

That explains it

Life is what you make it m8. I cant give you source on my meaning in life, but i know if you try, your life will have meaning as well. Or you can just moan how life is pointless forever
i think it fits

i've never listened to him talk nor do i really listen to the doors... I used to assume he was a poser or something but listening to him makes me realize he knew what was up
>>675143863
you like to see homos naked?
>>675144003
Life not home
>>675143863
OP here. Did not post either of these. I'm not moaning. I accept that life is pointless and the only way to enjoy it is to savour it in its simplicity. But you still need a fucking coping mechanism.
>>675141651
I do the same thing but I think I'm getting close to my mental breaking point, which if I feel I get too close to I'll probably go ahead and kill myself like I've wanted to for a long time now.
>>675144166
Coping mechanism? Why, because i think life has meaning?
>i know you didnt post it
>>675141651

Me too. I went to the mental hospital 3 times in senior year and eventually got kicked out and forced to do online classes after telling my counselors I wanted to take my parents guns and shoot the fuckers I couldn't stand before poppin' myself.
Now I have a beautiful fiance whom I abuse by sending random chicks dick pics almost daily to get off to my personality disorder or whatever the fuck it is, have a suicidal father who attempted a couple months back and an alcoholic mother. I've lost all the friends I used to have and barely keep in contact with my family or my sisters since they all moved out but me.
I have a job getting paid $14/hr and all I do is literally sit around playing on my laptop. No joke, easiest shit in the world but even something as simple as that becomes uncomfortable for me.
I'm tired of feeling like this. I never asked for this. And I can't think of many other options other than taking my life to avoid the misery of being alone for the rest of my life.
You know that existential dread you can feel on shrooms and other intense psychotropics? I have that feeling come over me a lot nowadays. I feel like someday I wont have any other choice but to end it, as I wont even be able to control what I'm thinking.
>>675144921

>>675145386
>You know that existential dread you can feel on shrooms and other intense psychotropics?
I know that feel, but managed to turn it to something positive for me personally. Saw pic related a few days ago, pretty much sums it up.
>>675145167

My friends, life isnt about getting a better job, better girls and better houses/cars
( sure those things are nice )
Life is about experiencing reality for what it is.
experiencing how good food tastes
experiencing how good drugs are
the feel of the beach sand and the salt water on your skin
the feeling falling in love, no matter how she looks to everyone else
how complex and badass video games are
how we literally have the ability to think up any invention possible
And then there are the things we wonder at
all the celestial bodies in the comsos...
the depths of the ocean floors...
all the crazy combinations of animals and organisms...
Just stop fucking killing yourself over what THOSE BEFORE YOU HAVE TOLD YOU
its no way to live, and you will only hurt your soul.
>>675141651
Same here, OP. Only i have a steady GF and I let meaning find its way to me.
I theme my years.
2016: perspective
2015: make 'em laugh
2014: ancestry
2013: gift of gab
2012: bridge that gap
2011: keep your independence
Although I should theme 2016: Build, trade, settle.
I took lsd and realized my purpose in life.
One of many reasons I'm a Christian, it gives me purpose.
>>675145603
You are still caught up on money and stress.
Of course you are depressed.
your stressful pattern is consistent, depression is basically boredom.
do something new.
You will feel better.
Thank you for sharing your perspective and stories, /b/

Stop smoking pot
Stop masturbating
Stop sleeping with random people
>Stop listening to music
>Stop playing video games
Find pleasure from reality, not from consumerism. They are good in small doses, but you can't live them.
Just stop caring and go with the flow. If I get mad or upset, I just think about who much it doesn't matter and chill the fuck out immediately.
Lol I still want to die tho
>>675146948
I play D&D also.
>>675147226
I get you, anon, I get you.
I realize life is a giant joke with no punchline
Then i realized is what ups to me to make the punchline.
Doesnt mean i want to die and NOT BE ALIVE
what the fuck would not existing solve ??
what are you gaining?
nothing.
never give up, never fucking surrender.
id rather be sad than dead. Least then i still experience something.
I don't, just don't think about it. I feel like my life would be so much easier if I was a man. I have no friends and don't get along with women because of my boyish tendencies like video games and manga. I've only ever been friends with bits but would never get too close because I'm female. I'm not a tranny or mentally ill, I know I'm a female.
I just wish I had been born a male, it would make life so much easier.
>>675148288
genders are social constructs, and people care about it less and less. men really don't get privilege over us. It's all a big market. You trade whatever you can for whatever you need. It just happens that when you're a woman what you trade is naturally given to you. Even on here things are simple - want discussion and respect for what you have to say even though you insisted on special treatment by exclusively mentioning you're a female? Show tits. Life is rather simple no matter what gender you are really.

I was supposed to graduate in 09 at 18 but dropped out in 06 take care if my mom. Never got my diploma or went for a GED. I'm now 26 and been working at a warehouse since 20. Made it to a receiving manager and make $18.65 an hour while a good half of my friends with diplomas/ged are still working dead end jobs making minimum wage or just slightly more. Some still living with their parents or roommates while I'm renting to own a 2 bedroom 1 1/2 bath house and driving a new car.
>>675148288
I feel like you are just looking for things to be upset over at that point...come on...
>>675148288
titties?
>>675149076
>>675146637
Already did it, mate. ^
>>675148288
Men think they'd be better off as Women, and Women think vice versa. Ignore that petty bullshit and embrace what you are instead of grovelling about something you have zero control over.
>>675146302
This anon gets it
>>675146151
So does this anon
>>675146151
This is totally what i'm going for, anon.
>>675149169

>>675149057
OP here...this was not me lmao fuck dat shit
>>675144921
Smart man. If it's true, you are a truly based anon. I tip m'fedora to you.
>>675148810
I was explaining my situation and you say I'm calling for attention, how else can I get my point across. Jesus Christ dude.
I literally cannot get across my point without saying I'm female, no way at all. I was not asking for attention, nor seeking refuge, just explaining my situation. No.
I don't understand why /b/ has this perception of females as attention seeking skanks. It seems that a lot of men have this perception. Which is exactly why I wish I was born a man.
>>675149169
That's not me
>>675149774
No, it's just how things are on 4chan. You say you're a female => you show your tits. You're free to go on Reddit otherwise.
I'm a female and I get it. What's stopping you, anon?
>>675149855
I thought he quoted me, sorry m8.
>>675149963

>>675150227
You believe in a false value system and think you're better than me because I get kicks out of showing my tits on the internet and you don't. I think you're stupid.
>on break
