Reposted from other thread, dude complaining about jaw pain.
I really don't think it is (an abcess), it seems it's the joint that's just really sore or something, almost grindy.
I'll still bump for you

*patpat* T-that's okay, I l-love you anyway <4
>>696579623
A s-story? What s-sort of story would you like?
>>696579695
S-sorry, I am not a doctor, s-so asking me for physical advice is a l-little out of my realm of experience!
>>696579759
N-no.
>>696579779
Dudes?
>>696579759
>>696579796
Uh, I think I want a story that involves an action adventure with dinosaurs.
B-but also cute people and love!
>>696579446
Hey its not a lame OP for once today, but the walls are still breathing.
>>696579981
I d-don't have time for that. Ain't n-nobody have time for that.
>>696580040
W-why are the walls breathing?
>>696580040
How is this OP better? What standard are you using here?
will you respond to me with a cheerful sentence?
>>696579759
Meditate on it then you will know the answer
>>696580207
Of c-course Anonymous! This is it <4
>>696580260
this means the ride never ends
>>696580202
Cute gets responses anon-kun.
>>696580202
D-do you need help, Anonymous?
>>696580171
Well, then I'll write it.
bush did harambe
I think my sister needs help. She asked why everyone is anonymous
>>696579610
Bump
>>696580510
T-tell her she's a n-newfag
>>696580507
Is t-this a psychological question?
>>696580570
trust me I did. She just replied "kill yourself".
>>696580440
Prepare for the best story ever.
"Oh shit." said Patricia, because, well, oh shit. I mean, did you see the dinosaur? Yeah, you see the fucker? I said dinosaur. It was a real goddamn dinosaur. Holy shit. They're supposed to be fucking extinct. What the fuck?
The dinoo (pronounced die-new, it means dinosaur but so much cuter!) stuck out her tongue and licked Patricia's nipple. Patricia just now noticed that she didn't get dressed that morning. Whatever, dinosaurs aren't judgemental about nudity, unlike the fucking government. Ooh, and it tickled!
>>696580810
Be nice.
how can i become more proficient at acting like a normie? I can hold normal conversations for a while but after a few minutes the spaghetti just flows out of my pockets.
>>696580929
Is that what I am supposed to say? What if the plan fails OP?
>>696579446
I'm literally a psychopath, have GF who loves me, I'm getting a bit depressed lately so slipping on normal facade, she's a narcissist, literally getting to the part where I'm finding it funny to mess with her and piss her off, but actually feel attachment, no idea why because I don't actually like her, in the year I've spent living with her I think she has subconsciously replaced the role of my mother, also a narc but very controlling and lucid, TFW I can't let go of this annoying girl I like to piss off, wat do
Why do you do the weird stutter thing?
>>696581009
W-well, tell me what sort of problems you have with conversation. Y-you may have social anxiety.
>>696580841
>>696580841
"Hahahahee! Oh, wow, my little nip-nip! Hehe, you're licking all wet and tickly on my nippy!" Patricia giggled like a damn retard, before being shot in the head by someone with at least an ounce of common sense.
"It was not a dinosaur. It was an alien." spoke the robot assailant, who also had her nipples poking out, although this was for personal reasons, "My programming states that I must act respectful to humans. Therefore I will fuck you in your bullet wound to carry on your legacy as a noisy pervert."
The robot wasn't allowed to do that, however, because Danny Fuckin' Phantom suddenly appeared from behind an oak tree, and killed her with a wrench.
"This... isn't right...." Danny spoke ominously, "The Ghost Dimension... it's leaking in..."
>>696581024
I think OP is doing okay anon-kun.
>>696581074
If y-you feel attachment, you are n-not a psychopath.
>>696581084
W-why do you do t-that weird face thing?
>>696581236
>>69658125
I am, I just have attachments to my brother, girlfriend, mother and father,
>>696581239
I will attempt to try the plan. Wish me luck.
>>696581097
When coworkers initiate a conversation I try to steer the topics in such a manner as to never reveal anything about myself. I dont know why but everytime I have to talk about myself I sperg out and just find any excuse to stop talking
>>696581731
That sounds like social anxiety. Have you talked to anyone about it? A doctor or maybe therapist?
>>696581731
Low self esteem
>>696581236
Danny Fuckin' Phantom was soon forced into company, when a bunch of snakes without tits, an alien with tits, and a bagel with cream cheese approached him. He ate the shit out of the bagel, and struck up a conversation to the snakes relating to the alien's tits. The snakes agreed that Danny was being a creep.
Suddenly, God appeared.
"Listen to me, Danny." God spoke, in a brilliant booming voice, just like in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but even fucking better because I'm writing this one, "The Ghost... wait a minute... does that alien have tits?"
Everything seemed to stop mattering.
"Woah, shit! First, dinosaurs are slurping knockers, and then this extraterrestial egghead comes in? This is way too heterosexual for me, I'm out."
>>696581851
>>696581834
No, low self esteem tends to manifest itself differently, though it's probably a symptom, just not a cause.
Though, it's too early to tell.
>>696581791
No I haven't. As a matter of fact the only reason I am actually writing anything now is because i knocked back the last bit of booze i had stashed away. Hooray for liquid courage i suppose
I need and want a girlfriend but i hate almost everyone around me, what do I do?
>>696581851
Danny collapsed, suffering from Ghost AIDS. He realized that he had used a regular condom, instead of a ghost condom when last inviting Tyrone's meatstick into his ectoplasm pit. Batman approached and laughed in his dead alive dead face.
All the stupid dinosaurs came back, and they were all dumb asian lesbians. They looked long and hard for a nice white woman so they could taste her tits, but there were only cavewomen, and they didn't shave.
Then, Duke Nukem came by, and turned all the dinosaurs straight. Israel bombed the entire continent, upsetting a demon who wanted to see Duke Nukem get his dick sucked by a brontosaurus, and the Earth was plunged into the Sun.
The End.
>>696579446
OP, can you cheer me up?
Oh, and what is the best way to pass time when you're excited for something? And the best way to sleep when excited?
>>696582278
I cannot tell the difference between what is reality and dreams. I constantly feel a sense of everything being fake and nothing ever really happening, what is this?
>>696582268
Examine yourself.
>>696582278
That was a very good story, I must go meditate on it
>>696582197
You shouldn't self medicate Anonymous; a doctor can really help with this sort of thing, and CBT is highly effective from a therapist or psychologist.
Help is available; you just need to ask.
>>696582268
Sounds like you need to let go of that hate.
>>696582350
*smiles* W-well tell me why you are feeling down first, darling <4
I'm super anti-violent in "real" life, but in fantasies I get really sexually violent. I'm fine with some of it, like dominating a girl, but I also fantasize about raping girls pretty often too. Not random girls either, friends and I imagine how I would do it and get away with it. I haven't done anything serious yet, but somewhat recently I went into this girls' room while she was sleeping and sniffed her panties and bras. I had also planned on taking pics of her nude or semi-nude while sleeping if at all possible, but that didn't work out.
>>696582441
I really don't know why i'm feeling down to be honest. What about my second question?
>>696579446
fuck off. I want the shrine maidens to solve my mental problems!
>>696582440
You do so, I hope that you achieve a greater, happier mind.
>>696582441
Alright, aside from Cock and Ball Torture being cleverly masked as a psychological treatment under the pseudonym of Cognitive Bitch Titties,(you little devil you) what did you think of my story?
>>696582769
Might as well go ask a pastor m8
>>696582416
Sounds like derealization and maybe some amount of depersonalization. Have you done any hallucinogens?
>>696582567
You probably shouldn't do such things.
>>696582655
*gently kisses your forehead* Well, I h-hope you feel better soon doll. You certainly don't deserve to be feeling so down <4
The best way to pass time would probably be with something immersive like music or a video game, then white noise to sleep with it. That will diffuse the concentration of your brain due to the constant input, masking your excitement.
>>696582769
*quirks her eyebrow* Reimu isn't qualified for helping with mental problems, which is why she generally has a rule to not do so.
>>696582786
It was definitely a story.
>>696582441
I cant they are just to dumb and inmature (At least in my school) and I would want a kind of serious relationship
>>696582769
Would you fuck a Reimu.
>>696583024
Sounds like you are the immature one, to me.
>>696582918
A really, really good story.
>>696583052
Reimu will be the one doing the fucking
Is it something to constantly have a subconscious narrator? Like a background voice constantly going or constantly thinking about something?
>>696583146
Fag.
>>696583158
Tell me more. It's normal to be hearing your thoughts to some degree, but can you control it? Is there any way to stop it even for a moment?
If not, it may be a form of obsession.
>>696583140
No, belive me Its imposible to talk with them.
Its like talking with kids
>>696582918
T-t-thanks! I do have a small question, and it may be a stupid one. What exactly is white noise?? :##
>>696583349
Like I said, you sound like the kid to me. You sound like every stuck up kid in high school I've ever heard that thinks he is above it all.
You are just a different KIND of kid than they are.
Doctor, how do I free myself from this existential nightmare?
>>696582418
Why?
>>696583273
Getting a little hotheaded?
>>696583425
White noise is like this:
>Here is the money, I am using it to pay for this bike
>I'm going to work
>Time to pay for child support
>>696579446
Good evening, Alice! What do you think about someone who wants to enlist the services of a woman of a certain profession with the goal of ending a dry spell and developing valuable experience with the opposite sex?
>>696583425
http://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/whiteNoiseGenerator.php
H-here is a good example. White noise is uniform noise. Like static.
>>696583492
Tell me more. Why are you in a nightmare of existentialism?
>>696583492
Nothing.Exist.
>>696582918
I haven't done any hallucinogenics other then caps when I was still in high school.
>>696583645
I think very little of them.
You gotta help me doc
Why the fuck Im a such a social retard? Im not bad looking its just when I try and meet new people, I just freeze up and I feel like I cant move :/
>>696583595
SWEET MOTHER OF KEKS YOU DESERVE THE INTERNET
>>696583658
I can't seem to do anything right, doc. Lucy just kicked me off of the baseball team.
>>696583677
Mushrooms?
>>696583757
Sounds like social anxiety; have you been to a doctor?
>>696583645
As someone who got desperate for pussy and did that, lemme tell you... you won't get much experience. Most likely the kind of prostitute you can afford won't be the kind who gives a shit about giving you a good experience. She'll bend over and let you put it in and then sit there texting until she feels you've had enough. Whether you cum or not. And then she'll try to get you to buy her McDonalds.
>>696583288
It's fairly constant, I have control over what I can be thinking, whether or not to stop it is a different matter. I may be able to pause for a little bit no more than 10 seconds at most. It doesn't seem like I can just think nothing. It's always a background 'voice' per say.
"She said, 'When you start getting all expressive and symbolic it's impossible to actualize an honest diagnostic.'
I said, 'And when you start getting all exact and algebraic I'm reminded it's a racket not a rehabilitation.'"
What is your take on this quote, Alice?
Song for context.
https://youtu.be/pU8kr8Svhf0
A detailed analysis of the entire piece would also be interesting, but it's not required.
>>696583477
That is the problem.
Look I started to feel lonely lately and I just want someone to talk and stuf like that but everyone in my school is basically the oposite from me
Dicks are for my friends, when they come to my house?
>>696583916
Many times, they do nothing about it. Shit sucks.
They all just tell me the same thing.
>>696584029
that's why we have the internet xD
will i ever be 1st world
>>696579446
Why do the voices stop when I'm listening to music? Like the other day they were telling me to kill myself and then I started listening to Marlyn Manson really loudly. I'm sure my parents were still talking but the music was so loud I couldn't hear them and while I liked not hearing the voices, I really fucking hate Marilyn Manson
>>696583916
Yeah mushrooms.
>>696584203
Well, porn helps
>>696584262
No, fuck you. Argentina is better.
>>696584029
Special snowflake alert
Join a club u fuckin nerd
>>696579446
Is your name Kimberly or go by Kim?
>>696583961
That sounds like you may be slightly obsessive to some degree, but if it does not impact your daily life, I wouldn't lose sleep over it. Maybe simply ask your doctor if you worry about it.
>>696583994
I think it's largely nonsense.
>>696584029
Okay. Sounds like you need to find friends elsewhere then.
>>696584164
Which is?
>>696584262
Fuck no.
>>696584265
...have you been to a doctor? That sounds like schizophrenia.
>>696584269
That could be the reason, though it was a long time ago.
>>696584391
Nope, I'm Alice.
>>696584292
yeah, personally i like podcasts for this reason, fill your house with (sometimes) interesting voices
>>696583959
I don't want to drag things down but what about those who do the "girlfriend experience"? Wouldn't they help?
>>696584442
But the voices are my parents they just are really mean to me but I deserve it because I wear my soiled underwear to the dinner table and lose all my good boy points -_-
>>696579446
A-Alice, i have a question for you.
Here's my situation, I'm currently unsure if i have social anxiety.
Alright, so for example (This happened), I wanted something so i wantes to walk in a store i've never been in. Thoughts started appearing like "WHAT IF THEY DONT HAVE IT" So it took me a solid 10 minutes to actually man up and get in.
I'm also always very afraid of what people think of me.
>>696584607
Sounds like you're just a giant pussy and should an hero
>>696584743
seconded
>>696579446
I look like Charlie Brown
>>696584575
Again, have you been to a doctor.
>>696584607
You have social anxiety. Seek a doctor specializing in CBT.
>>696583744
Are you a traditionalist in that way? Would certain threads on /b/ like yours help? What if there was a psychologist posting here that also did that for a living?
>>696584834
I've been to a doctor but he said its normal for a person to poop but then he called me a faggot so I showed him my anime collection
>>696584523
I've heard disappointment stories about those but I've never experienced one myself. Mine was just a cheap craigslist ho
>>696584938
sounds legit
>>696584442
>I think it's largely nonsense
That's a non-statement. What you meant to say is "I don't understand what he's saying." That said, what don't you understand about it?
>>696584863
Sexual surrogates do not work the same way as hiring such people; what you describe is generally bad for both people.
If you want a relationship, just go get a relationship. That's all there is to it. It's not "traditional"; we have a whole lot of statistical evidence to validate it.
Again, sexual surrogacy is different, and I have no opinions on it as the studies are not yet in.
Why do most of my psychologist downplay the importance of sex? They seem damn near insistent on not giving way to sex bringing happiness. Even though when asked they can't give me a satisfactory answer on what will bring me happiness. So if happiness, and what creates it is so subjective, why is it so hard to believe that sex very well could bring happiness to someone?
>>696584442
I´ll try.
I have a last question, is it normal to talk alone (like complaining but in loud voice)?
I really don't like black people. Every time I see one on the street I just feel anger and disgust. They are these big baboon looking animals, especially the women. Big fat black women with hair that hasn't been washed in years and an aroma similar to a sewage system and a locker room combined. And then men, let me tell you, they're all these inbred, borderline retarded thugs that think they're "gangsta." Drug dealing, violent criminals that blame everyone else for their own actions. I'm so sick of seeing these 'people' that it is making me think about bashing my head against a metal door until I don't have to remember that I live in a society that panders to the senditivities of filthy niggers. In short; I'm looking for a productive way to channel my anger.
>>696585145
because sex isn't everything for a healthy relationship. Look up Ruth Wordhiemer.
>>696584496
I like hentai because the storys get me horny
>>696582441
ok boss i'll go look for a therapist. So I just go to my primiry doctor and ask for a referral?
>>696585088
No, I understood it. It's nonsensical, however. The conclusions do not follow from the axioms.
>>696585145
Why do you think "happiness", whatever conceptualization of that you have, is the point of life?
Happiness is a reward, a small fleeting incentive to keep hill climbing towards greater rewards. It's not the end goal; it's the thing that keeps the journey going.
Psychologists are not in the business of feeding an addiction, of attempting to provoke a coked out sensation of pleasure. We work to remove things that harm peoples lives or make them unable to do the things they need to do.
Providing happiness is not what we do; we aren't dealers.
>>696585161
Yes, that's quite normal.
>>696583052
*Hi there! Are you the true Reimu like the other times?*
>>696585432
Yes, talk to your PCP, they will give you a referral. good luck!
>>696585499
Kindly refrain from doing this in my thread.
>>696585483
Ok thanks
>>696579446
Just had sex with my wife and for the first time in 2 years she was wet as FUCK.
We used to have sex all the time in high school and college and she was always dripping. My fingers would get pruny after a while. However in the last 2 years she has never been interested or in the mood, she's been dry almost all of the time, and even when she agrees to sex it's a painful experience.
Is she cheating on me? Why the change?
>>696585499
Go stalk SD.
>>696585483
>His conclusions don't follow from his axioms.
Are you accusing him of making non-sequiturs? Lol, explain.
It's okay to admit that you didn't understand what he was saying. You're only human after all.
I want to go to North Korea and punch the leader in the face as a way of killing myself in a hilarious fashion that will have me remembered globally as the guy that sparked ww3.
>>696585483
If happiness and hedonistic pleasure isn't the point of life then what is?
>>696585499
If I were to jerk off on you would you be upset?
>>696585938
Fuck you.
>>696585677
Women change; all people do. Things that happen, such as responsibilities, can drastically affect libido. Why do you think she is cheating on you?
>>696585746
No, I am accusing him of having an unsound or invalid argument; if your conclusions do not follow solely from your axioms, and instead invoke logical fallacies or simply invalid transforms, the conclusions are not sound.
This is not a hard concept to grasp, it is...pretty basic to logic. It's okay to admit you don't understand basic logic; you are only human, after all.
>>696585861
Why do you think there is a point?
>>696585779
Good luck!
>>696586055
My apologies, I thought you were SCP-2662.
>>696585483
As I keep saying when I see these, don't purport to speak for "psychologists". Psychologist is a title that is given and earned and requires at least a Ph.D. Do you have a Ph.D.? If so what in? Where from? Are you licensed?
If you can't answer all of these then you are not a psychologist. Also you are sincerely uneducated if you believe that part of a psychologists job isn't to help individuals to find their own happiness and satisfaction. They don't "remove things that harm peoples lives" either. Psychologists don't do anything FOR people, they give them the tools to help themselves. No one "provides" happiness, no, but having no dopamine release, ever, is just as likely to cause harm as anything else. If your "job" is just helping people avoid misery, then you suck as a psychologist.
>>696585621
*So i'm no longer allowed to ask here?*
>>696585728
*I'd rather keep my distance from that place, thank you!*
>>696586225
>Women change; all people do. [etc]
Probably just paranoia caused by 4chan. A change in a woman's sex drive or emotional closeness always triggers doubts about fidelity.
>>696582441
>CBT is highly effective from a therapist or psychologist.
>>696584834
>Seek a doctor specializing in CBT.
lol, CBT
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cock_and_ball_torture
All ya'll mother fuckers need meditation
>>696586322
Wow, you're such a pest, aren't ya?
>>696586322
Fag.
>>696586300
What? The fact someone does not answer a question does not mean they do not have such a title. You really need to work on your logic.
As well, you've simply restated what I said in different terms. Good work.
Try harder next time, friend.
>>696586322
I would prefer you didn't.
>>696586353
Does it? It never has for me, but perhaps it is different on this side of the fence.
>>696586475
Wrong one dear: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_behavioral_therapy
>>696586629
OK, you interesting person, what's your favorite flavor of ice cream?
im depressed
>>696585483
Good question. I don't know. I assume happiness is the variable missing in my life l, and thought that's why I'm diagnosed with depression; among other things. When I see other people who seem to be "normal" the only thing I see missing is an outlet for my sexual and social frustrations. When I talk to, or read about, other people who are depressed, there seem to be a reoccurring theme of loneliness. Seems we have careers, family, and friends like other functional people. What's missing is an outlet and a intimate relationship. Or that's what it seems like at least.
>>696585938
*If you can manage to get off of that then sure, go ahead, don't let your dreams be dreams.*
>>696584834
What Alice would mean if she was actually a psychologist is "It sounds like you do have social anxiety. Studies have found that anxiety disorders, or anxiety in general, is very responsive, if not the most responsive, to Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. If you find that your anxiety is impacting your functioning to an excessive degree, I urge you to seek out actual psychological help from a licensed psychologist or therapist, preferably one that specializes in treating anxiety, in your age group, and uses CBT".
>>696586225
You're not elaborating further. You're just saying he committing fallacies and calling for argument isn't sound while supplying no evidence.
So point out exactly where he comitted a fallacy. Really I'm going to enjoy your attempt to explain how he doesn't grasp basic logic.
You didn't listen to the entire song for context, which is ashame, but oh well, I'm sure you dismissed a lot you didn't understand as nonsensical the first go around. You're a psychologist after all, being wrong is part of your job.
>>696586755
Uhm. Hm. I like peanut butter cup.
>>696586778
Welcome to the club, m8.
>>696586629
>Does it? [etc]
Was also interested to see the quality of advice. Obviously an anonymous person with no other information than "my wife and I had good sex" couldn't possibly have the evidence necessary to support infidelity. The answer was brief, but avoided assigning blame and ended with a prompt for more information to invoke a conversation instead of a one-sided opinion. I approve of this method of advice.
>>696586792
Thanks, Cthulhu.
>>696586826
That's a nice flavor.
But, how about you peanut butter cup these nuts?
And by these nuts I mean pecans, because pecans are good in ice cream.
>>696586850
what benefits do i get as a member of the club?
>>696586629
Note: If you had any ethical standing whatsoever, such as if you WERE licensed, you realize that one of the ethical principals is respecting a client/person's right to make an educated decision. Refusing to put your credentials, or more accurately, lying about them, makes you a charlatan.
Remember this: You do more harm than good than being an armchair wannabe psychologist than a licensed one. These are actual people with actual problems, and you have no right to steer them away from actual help by giving them half-assed advice you heard somewhere.
AND if you DO have a license or credentials, then why are you so defensive? A Ph.D. usually has nothing to hide from some stranger on the internet. You need to engage in more self-care.
MORE than that, don't you think these people would be able to take your advice with more confidence if you ACTUALLY had a license and told them? Either lie completely or not at all, don't half ass it.
>>696586780
Ah....depression is a terrible illness. I would know quite intimately; I suffer from it myself.
What therapy and treatments are you currently undergoing? How is your support network? How many people are close friends?
How many people could you ask to bury a body with you?
That loneliness...doesn't go away with a outlet or intimate relationship. It's quite unique in that regard; I can be lonely in a group of people close enough to me that I'd trust them with my life.
If you keep trying to fix your depression by looking at what normal people have and trying to get it, you'll end up disappointed. People with depression have a serious medical disorder; it isn't solved by trying to be normal. A lot of times, all that'll do is make you even more depressed: you have it all, and it still doesn't fill that hole.
I know that feeling well, Anonymous.
>>696587164
Your life becoming senseless and falling into decadency. A good time if you ask me m8.

*Denying me something basic as that, isn't it a little bit drastic?*
>>696586818
She's not a psychologist. Psychologists have licenses and credentials and are literally ethically obligated to state their credentials before offering therapeutic advice. She could literally be brought before an ethics committee if they ever found out.
>>696586538
Like what?
>>696587261
well
sounds great.
>>696586629
The burden of proof is on the one making the claim.
"I HAVE A DRIVER'S LICENSE!"
"Okay, let me see it."
"Pfft! Just because you asked me for the license and I am not showing it doesn't mean I don't have it, lol gg"
"....."
>>696587318
So she uses an anonymous imageboard as a means to fulfill her God-complex since she can't be ethically checked on her bullshit?
>>696587412
If you're smart enough you'll be able to get tired of being depressed and sad and change yourself, so you can be depressed but cool with it.
>>696587542
>God complex
She has a messiah complex with a bit of paranoia.
p-p-p-p-p-please
>>696579446
Why people believe in the meaning of life when there is none?
>>696587542
That is absolutely correct. But any psychologist worth listening to would naturally want to follow ethical guidelines regardless because they've received experience and education proving not just the utility but NECESSITY of said guidelines, AND they would realize that listing their credentials instills confidence.
In short, she's a charlatan. A fraud.
Source: An LPC-I and LPA, both of which does not make ME a psychologist, but is a helluva lot more education than this person.

>>696587728
Shame.
>>696586798
When I spoke formally like that before, people called me a robot; that's why I try to be shorter and more to the point, providing the necessary information and carefully crafting it with empathy.

It's what I do.
>>696587044
I like pecans too <4
>>696587196
Yeah, no. See, this isn't a one on one conversation; this is a discussion on an anonymous image board. You are trying to apply ethics in the wrong context; helping people in a non-professional context has different forms of ethics.
As well, if you notice in my advice, I always say for people to seek the one on one attention they need; advocating for others is not denying them an educated decision.
Try harder.
>>696587271
It's simply a request. Reimu is not here.
>>696587477
I never, in any form, required or even demanded anyone to believe me.
>>696587542
>>696587715
And I'm the one called an armchair psychologist.
>>696587816
Because it's scary that there isn't one, that this universe is what it is.
>>696587626
How can i achieve it? i'm tired of things being like it is right now
>>696587715
No it's a God complex. Someone with a Messiah complex would actually want to help other people, and giving them half assed advice so they don't feel the need to get actual professional help and lying about what she is to earn undue trust is not even PRETENDING to want to actually help people.
>>696587823
>doxing yourself to instill "confidence"
>your entire arguement hinges on her having an obligation to give people confidence
are you a fucking idiot
>>696587907
You're still not identifying where exactly Aesop comitted a fallacy when it's ridiculous to presume he and I have the same level of education.
Is it because you can't?
Dear Alice,
Different people appeal to different aspects of my personality, which leads to me behaving differently in the presence of different friends. With some I am much more sarcastic and cynical, and with others very optimistic and relaxed. I feel like this is a normal way to have friendships with different types of people.
My issues arise when I get very close to a person and start feeling like I've been misrepresenting myself and have been false. This worry is even more bothersome when I become romantically involved with someone. I feel like I'm doing us both a disservice by not revealing all aspects of myself fully, yet I also feel that there's no need to confront people with aspects of myself that would only antagonize them if they're just secondary.
I'm not sure what my question is, but this bothers me, does that make sense?
>>696588018
The hilarious part is, I already doxxed myself. It's never enough, you know?
>>696587961
I literally...always....tell people to go to doctors, therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists. Always.
What are you even talking about?
Op you're fucking stuttering in text, the only person that needs help is you, faggot weebtrash
>>696587907
In my example did the driver's license person demand they believe them? Not at all. But the implication is that since you brought it up you did so for a reason, and don't be naive, you do so because people DO believe you and place undue trust in you.
Also, if you were a psychologist, if you somehow believe that ethical principles only exist when people are WATCHING you then you need remediation. The point of not forging credentials, OR, giving your credentials so they can make an educated decision, is precisely so they have autonomy. You are taking advantage of their ignorance, which is pretty normal for the mentally ill, and you know it. There is not "different forms of ethics" and if you had half a brain much less a ph.d. worth of education, you'd know that.
Also, Ph.D.'s don't get defensive and go "try harder". At least TRY to have some semblance of maturity? I mean after all, I have a master's, so I have an excuse to be immature comparatively.
>>696587823
So essentially she's no different from people who give others advice but she's parading herself as a more valid source when in reality she is not,
She's an attention whore, basically.
Alice, me and my friends never hang out, we only talk on the phone, is that a true friendship, they dont want to hangout and i want to find some friends to hangout with, can you give me any advice?
>>696588209
If it bothers you, have you tried bringing it up to the people you get close to, and explaining how you feel and what you are doing?
I've found being open and honest is the best path forward, even if it is "secondary" or will cause you an undue burden.
However, it is quite natural to react differently to different people.
>>696579446
My husband is a mortician. On our wedding night he made me bathe in ice water until I was cold to the touch. Then he made me stay absolutely still and stare straight ahead while he made love to me
Do you think this means anything
>>696587955
Alright matey, see, first of all, if your room is a wreck, clean it, take a shower and get a fucking haircut or something i don't know, and tell yourself, i mean, you're obviously tired of being depressed, you could replace that sadness for idk, something more productive like greed, or lust, you know? Goals of becoming a rich sad fuck or dunno own the playboy mansion or something, you know what i mean?
Just get your surroundings clean first, got it?

Not a racket how?
>>696588018
Dox: search for and publish private or identifying information about (a particular individual) on the Internet, typically with malicious intent.
How is listing my degrees and mentioning how it doesn't qualify count as malicious intent? And yes, the entire argument relies on her following ethical principles that a LICENSED psychologist are obligated to follow at all times when representing the profession. Shocking.
>>696588216
Not ALL the TIME ALWAYS. Literally look at your responses. EVERY response should be "go see a professional" because you have no business giving advice because you are not a psychologist. Don't try to resolve your cognitive dissonance with such claptrap.
"Sure I pretend to be a doctor and inject them with random things, but I also often tell them to go to a doctor after injecting them!"
>>696588459
That sounds like necrophilia to me, anon.
>>696588514
Got it.
this post was actually more helpful than all that weaboo shit
>>696588527
Chill out, man. It was one Reimu picture. People can post whatever picture they want to, so considering an avatar yours is a flawed concept.
>>696588662
>>696588364
She's worse than an attention whore. Attention whores presumably are harmless. She's giving uneducated advice with the pretension of having YEARS of education and potentially giving great harm. Not only that, she's excusing her behavior by saying "Hey I just gave them advice on how to solve their problems, but sometimes I also tell them to seek out a therapist, even though they will obviously want to take the DIRECT advice first".
>>696588332
*kisses* G-glad to help you.
>>696588359
That's not even close to what I said, and it is clear you are unwilling or unable to understand what I am saying.
Try harder. Also, welcome to /b/. Glad to see this is your first summer.
>>696588364
Yeah, no.
>>696588379
That is indeed a true friendship, but if you are not getting what you want out of your friendship, you may need to either talk to your friends about this, and if they are not providing what you need, find new friends. There is no harm in having more friends, after all.
>>696588459
Good bait, really.
>>696588559
No, no, it's fine. Really. <4
>>696588627
Mostly because I'm not in that field currently.
But okay.
>>696588662
We're the closest to the original /b/, actually.
>>696588713
Yeah, asserting things without evidence is not proof. Try harder.
>>696588757
Actually, i'm a weeb shit myself, if you see me around say hi, would ya? People call me Neptune.
And remember, it's up to you to change, you're tired of it? Fuck it, change it.

>>696588975
Yeah, except I do have years of education. I've also been posting on /b/ for years. Literally people have watched me go through college over the course of this chan.
Try harder. Though, I suppose this is nicer than when I was called a trap or neckbeard.
>>696588977
>Yeah, no.
So you do believe yourself to be in a higher position than us.
That's disgusting. Is this why you blatantly avoid detailing where Aesop committed a fallacy? Would that shatter the image your trying to present as a knowledgable source? You know that's eerily similar to how dictators establish a cult of personality, which is basically a racket.
>Because I'm not in that field currently
Then stop advertising yourself as a psychologist you fucking fraud.
>>696588977
"I never, in any form, required or even demanded anyone to believe me."
My response
"In my example did the driver's license person demand they believe them? Not at all. But the implication is that since you brought it up you did so for a reason, and don't be naive, you do so because people DO believe you and place undue trust in you."
The initial response you replied to "The burden of proof is on the one making the claim.
"I HAVE A DRIVER'S LICENSE!"
"Okay, let me see it."
"Pfft! Just because you asked me for the license and I am not showing it doesn't mean I don't have it, lol gg"
"....."'
So your response to my example was "I never demanded they believe me" despite the fact that doesn't invalidate my example. Also, real Ph.D.'s don't get so flustered that they keep saying "try harder". Also repetition is dull.
>>696589113
Neptune like in nep-nep?
>>696589113
ofc i'll say hi, at least you dont post animu all the time while pretending to be psychologist.
thanks, Neptune.
>>696589428
Like I said previously, try harder. This isn't any harder.

>>696589534
>>696588977
I get what you mean, it just seems so jarring.

-Nep
>>696588977
I assume you mean asserting that you aren't a psychologist. Reiterate, the burden of proof is on the one making the initial claim. "I'm a psychologist!" "Okay, prove it." "PFFT, you can't prove I'm NOT a psychologist." "That's true." "HAHA! Therefore I'm a psychologist!" Do you troll atheists in your free time?
>>696589325
Years of education iiiiiinnnn? Frooooom? Have you gotten a deeeegreeeee? Are you liiiicensed? Literally having a second grade education and being old qualifies you as "having years of education" and "have watched people go through college".
Literally you could disprove my ENTIRE argument by saying "I have a Ph.D." But you can't admit that. If it's true why is that so hard for you? Because I can't prove you don't have one and as such aren't a psychologist? You literally know that's impossible to prove.
>>696588848
*And you are right about that, but it's worth considering that the person that asked for Reimu's help specifically asked for shrine maidens, notice how it was plural and not singular >>696582769 and Reimu with her shrine maidens is the one that runs the threads, so we are speaking about someone and not just an avatar.*

She was pretty specific on what Aesop's fallacy was you fucking autistic retard.

>>696579446
Hey OP
I don't know what's wrong with me, but ever since I hit puberty years ago I've become extremely socially awkward. I'm only able to talk to people who comes up to me and talks to me first, but even then I'm extremely awkward and don't know what to say half of the time. I have no confidence to go up to someone and start a conversation. This made going through High School really difficult, as at the time I was going to a high school where I only knew a few different people, and even they didn't want anything to do with me. Now all I do is play Dota 2 all day and smoke weed. The only friends I have are online, and I'm never the one to invite them to play a game or to talk. What do?
>>696589919
I suppose. Swimming through an ocean of shit to help some people, which noticably happens a few times (someone being helped and being thankful for it) in every thread.
I don't know if my girlfriend likes me anymore; whenever she's around me she is really happy and seems to like me a lot but she rarely texts me first and whenever she responds to mine its only short replies. Which implies she doesn't want to talk to me I think. But as I said in person she is really friendly and talkative. We're going out again on Saturday so I think she likes me but I'm not sure... Sorry if this isn't the sort of thing you know about...
>>696588443
I've tried in the past but must have approached it badly as all I've ever managed to get across was one of two flavors:
"I'm not exactly who you think I am" which is usually met with "Why did you lie to me? I thought we were being honest, how can I trust you now?"
Or "I've changed" at which point I either get acceptance or I'm told this isn't what the other person signed up for. Either way I feel like it sows distrust to even mention the idea.
I've thought of just trying to express all aspects of my personality early on in a friendship/relationship with people. I'm just not sure when it's appropriate to, for example, say a massively cynical thing to emphasize that I have this side to me when I have a perfectly appropriate optimistic reply that comes naturally. So I've pretty much started thinking of behaving non-naturally in order to let someone get to know who I am naturally just in different circumstances.
>>696589550
I feel it's precious that you will spend an entire response just for me to say "Hey that argument you just said? Didn't work, try harder." No counter-argument, no reasoning, just try harder. Any time I distract you from giving half-assed advice to the mentally ill is time well spent : )
Also you and I both know you're too much of a pussy to make a strong claim "I have a ph.d." OR admit that you're a liar. So do you know what the point of this is? This sews the seeds of doubt. How many people would you take advice from if a god dang ph.d. started going "try harder" in every post? Sound like a normal /b/tard with delusions of grandeur.

You really need to stop smoking the weed, first of all; all that does is push the anxiety off for another day, but it just gets worse since you are using that as a crutch. One that's bad for your lungs too.
Have you been to a doctor? It really sounds like you could have social anxiety that you need some amount of therapy for.
>>696590107
That's what I do.
>>696590159
Maybe she just isn't into texting? Have you tried calling?
>>696590198
Maybe you should be up front from the get go? After all, if that is their argument, then surely leading from the front would defuse it.

The thread is dead anyways.
If Alice post its going to be single word replies.
I'm suffering from depression for almost six years without treatment. Should I just end it?
>>696589961
No she didn't. She gave no textual evidence saying that's where he comitted the fallacy. She just said he did and expected me to find if because she knows if she tried I would refute it and she believes herself to be above argumentation.
Seeing as how she does her best to position herself in a position of authority and dismisses all critique as ludicrous or nonsensical, yes, I feel that comparing her to that of a dictator is fair, since many people do that every day. Only a select few actually rise to power, which she is attempting to do now anonymously and having people listen to her point of view like a politician.
Yes it fucking does. You don't have a license. You are not a fucking psychologist. If that were the case, then I can be a psychologist solely for reading the exact same material as her.
>>696590505
Doesn't look like single word replies to me, faggot.

>Tomorrow. It's the only reason I can use anymore
I no longer believe in that reason.
>>696589902
Rest assured that I'll never enter a thread by asking "would you fuck the Reimu"
I don't want anybody's nasty dick touching me. I would advise just kinda... staying Anonymous and not talking about me or my threads while you're here. Our presence muddies up the thread, in the same way I don't want people asking about Alice at the shrine. Anonymous gets confused when you talk about stuff he doesn't know or care about, and Anonymous is the one this is about.

Sure, it did.
I have evidence right here.
>>696590694
Well, I'm 19 and my mum won't let me see a psychologist. She told me that if I told them that I wanted to kill myself they're going to put me into a mental hospital.
>>696590786
*Sure! Sorry if i caused troubles then, i just wanted to see if that was the real you in the start, then everything went a little bit off.*
>>696590485
Yes I can tell because of the fact you have made individual responses to me which literally actively takes time that could have been spent on other things. That's the definition of distraction.
Anyways just a reminder that you aren't a psychologist, you CAN be one. Sincerely, if you really really want to, and you put the work in, you definitely can. There is a serious need out there. If you are willing, and care, I'd seriously recommend becoming a school psychologist because that shit is broken. You wouldn't do this if you didn't have a heart to help people, and I get it, people wouldn't take simple good advice unless you prefaced it with the title. Maybe you say "fuck ethics, if it helps people, then it's good". Maybe you are even right about that. STILL though, I encourage you to not just settle for this. Don't just sit by and WISH and PRETEND to be a psychologist. It is a hard road, but sincerely, it is worth it and people like you are needed.
But more than that, and feel free to go "Try harder", but just listen for a moment. Not as two /b/tards, not even as angry as I may be with you. You sincerely can harm people. I know it doesn't feel like it, I know you feel confident, hell maybe you self-studied for years. Maybe you feel you "always" tell them to go to a doctor, but there are profoundly unwell people on here. You do not have the education or training to be throwing that title around, because you can't, heck no one can, really diagnose and understand a person through this medium. The profoundly mentally ill do need some form of protection, and that's what ethics is about, is treating people well even when they ASK you not to. People still want to be heard. They want advice. They want optimism. ALL that is good. Even if you don't say it to me, or on here. TRY it. Try giving advice threads. Don't use the title. Heck use the picture if you want. See if that works for you. If you can do the SAME good without the "ethically gray" areas,

Okay. And exactly why is your sister somehow the end all on therapy, again?
Therapy is helpful. It may not have helped your sister; she may have responded to a different form of therapy. Not all therapy is the same. It takes a while to find a technique or even a doctor that works for you.
It's still important, and it can still be life saving Anonymous. Seek help.

I haven't seen Ikaros in a long time.
Will I ever overcome my horrible depression and anxiety? With my gf of 2 years leaving me and my two best friends not talking to me anymore, I don't know what to do anymore...
