how do you even win now? the best you can hope for is the guy 2 steps richer than you doesn't fuck your wife too hard, and to not be murdered outright by someone just like you who couldn't take it and snapped, left bleeding out on the floor of your office, working a job you hate to support a family who never loved you, and for what? best case scenario you grow old, working every day for a goal you'll never see realized for reasons you've lied to yourself the whole time, until eventually you get colon cancer and die slowly and painfully, or just get in a car crash or have a heart attack if you're lucky.
why even try
Politics don't matter, procreation and look even is a scam, true happiness is a myth, we all die, and that's it. Fucking what am I even doing anymore
Inb4 kill yourself, just (unfortunately) failed an attempt.
So tl;Dr how does /b/ deal with existential anguish, the depression of existence, and generalized
Am I wrong? Also general feels/discussion
Fuck posting from mobile. I meant that love is a scam, and thinking about it, all related activities

It's what I'd been doing. Nothing seems to ever take my mind from those glaring facts of life.
>>697999587
Happiness in most people comes from conditions which are not consistent. Basically you always want moire stimulation or something you don't already have.
True universal and constant happiness is the love of existence itself. Just being.
The romance notions are just stimulation.
Everyone wants to be happy (it is literally how the brain works) don't lie to yourself. Just learn to except the present and STOP TRYING TO CHANGE EVERYTHING. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH EVERY GOAL AND FULFILL EVERY WANT.
>>697999587
its just how our society is build on today
everyone is ALONE
>>698001206
this is a drone
sensitive people cant just be happy they dont want to be happy all the time...their sense of emotions is far more advanced from a ,, normal,, human...these are the people that create art music literature and so on...its ust the way our society is build on social egoism...
beeing trapped inside yourself without a chance to express yourself or your feeling causes depression and so on ...

Are you a bee?

of course !
>>697999587
Never hope for too much.
Find solace in the little things.
Enjoy simplicity and don't chase material wealth - do what you need to do to live ably.
Find love without being obsessed with the sophomoric concepts of "hotness" and chasing the next emotional high - find love at a deeper level.
Not every day has to be an adventure, as long as you are moving forward.
In other words, the world is not here to fellate your sense of self worth, so work within your own mind and existence and, if you see an opportunity to transcend that, be sure you can ably make the leap - otherwise, settle in and be comfy.
>>697999587
Simple faggot: enjoy yourself. Play games. Fuck girls, or guys, whatever. Watch movies. Listen to music. Read. Do whatever you enjoy doing, and do it until you die. Don't give a shit about what people say, think, or do.
>>698002049
So what have you contributed in the field of art literature and music? It's being sensitive is one thing being a pessimistic little bitch is another
>>698003047
im not supossed to contribute something fgt...
>>697999587
>Hi, I'm OP and I'm suddenly an expert on life because one bad thing happened
Grow up OP, enjoy life, even if it's just listening to music on the roof, or petting a dog.
You don't have to prove yourself to anyone
>>698002905
It's more than that though m8. It's how even enjoying things is impossible, how every action is well and truly pointless and nothing will change that. Nothing good or evil, not my completed game collection of everything that gave me joy and satisfaction as a child, or all the drugs prescribed or otherwise, not fucking my ex who cheated on me and ruining her new relationship with that heroin addict shithead, proving to the both of them she was always dishonest. That just gave me some closure, at best. No purchase, or knowledge can quiet that deafening realization that you will ALWAYS be well and truly alone, and the ultimate knowledge that nothing will ever matter. I've tried everything, perversion, spirituality, hedonism, greed, knowledge; all the great corrupting and motivating driving forces. Nothing works, even my attempt to end myself, do I yet belong? Or am I, as I feared, insignificant dust, one might call "unlucky"
Once again ignorance is the biggest obstacle.
>>698003569
Nah, it's both more and less than that. Nothing bad happened, or good. Things just happen, and I realized it doesn't matter. Nothing does
>>698004412
Just because it doesn't matter doesn't mean you can't enjoy it, life is good op, enjoy it while it lasts
>>698004584
one does not simply gets satisfaction just of beiing alive ...
>>698004140
can I recommend something for you to check out?
>>698004584
Surprisingly, friend, your post and that picture made me smile. I'll smoke to your health tonight. Have some porn
>>698004788
Yes, please do
>>698004775
Yes but only when one sets conditions for their happiness. They are the one making their life miserable! The sooner they let go of their ego and realize that, the sooner the can get on the track to happiness!
>>697999587
Oi! Ain't nobody sneakin up and shankin me wif a fuckin knife, mate! I'm crazy I swear I'll fuckin murder anybody try to come up on me wif that bullshit
>>698004775
That's right, but make your life good, your life is what you make it, I understand depression and existential crisises, went through both, but even though nothing matters to our universe (and world for the most part) we can make it matter to ourselves, find joy in the little things and confidence in knowing that your life is what you make it

First remember that depression is becoming an epidemic within western society. They are obviously doing something wrong. We all are.
Okay so it is a youtube channel. A channel about improving oneself. Please just be openminded. ]

>>697999587
Just go MGTOW and stop caring about other people. I immerse myself into my hobbies and don't worry about things I can't control, like women and the geopolitical system.
Just make the best of things and fix what you *can* fix.
>>698005508
I promise to check it out right after work
>>698005508
This channel seriously changed my life. Two years ago I was in depression, hated life, and tried kill myself a couple times without the courage to do it.
Today I am not happy 24/7 however no longer have depression, got friends, and got rid of most of my addictions. I'm still working.
>>697999587

I would be happy if I could cuddle with Anzu

It's only gay if you have sex with other men.

btw
humans are happy when their needs are fullfilled...( we are only driven by furfulling our needs like eating and beeing part of a group being loved and so on...)
god helps us to get happy and he makes no difference what ,,need,, you have

Sadly I have this terminal illness. You might have heard of it, its called Catholicism. As soon as the latex touches my cock it goes flaccid and I can't get it up for an hour.
Accept the fact that you are just a series of interlinked chemical reactions.
Love is not real
There is no soul
you will never have a lasting effect on the world
so do whatever the fuck you want, before those chemical reactions burn out. which they will cause thermodynamics and shit.
>>698008199

Sex doesn't make you happy.

No, but it makes me feel pleasure, which is about as close to happiness as I get these days.
>>698009386
of course it does !
What have I wrought

You both (both?) are just addicted to physical pleasure. This is just a sign of immaturity. Though I don't judge, everyone is in a journey towards happiness. You both are just going down the wrong path(s). You will either find your way or die with regrets. Either way I realize I shouldn't let that bother me. I'm happy. Leaving thread. (not that anyone cares) Playing D&D I'm such a nerd!
>>697999587
You don't do things in life because they have a greater meaning in the grand scheme of the universe, you do them because either there's some gratification (instant or long term), or because you'll get arrested if you don't, like taxes.
>>698009674
IT doesn't make you fulfilled.
It is like coke, but more subtle. So more dangerous.
Anyway. Bye haha
>>697999587
Unlike you i actually deal with it, i smoke weed on early morning drives through the forest and fuck my gorgeous hoe.

Life only has a point if you give it one. That's on you mate. It might take a while, maybe your whole life, but there's something out there you can be passionate about. Go find it.

You sound clinically depressed. There's meds for that.
>>697999587
You know, you could just follow your own path and stop giving a fuck about what society or other people think. Theyll shit on you for it, but fuck them. Your happiness is more important than their beliefs because they dont care about you.

bet that's a guy, isn't it?
OP I'm giving in and going to get meds for my clinical depression here soon, diagnosed at 15 took them lastng enough to work through some shit then told myself I just needed to 'man up' and deal with it.
Every day I spend most of my time searching for ways just to occupy my mind and distract it from the horrible crush of hopelessness. Every day I feel like it's harder. Finding someone you care about helps, but at the same time finding someone you care about makes it worse, because ultimately they'll just end up disappointing you, and you'll just end up right back where you were.
>>698011774
I hope so.

You've never had the early morning breeze carried through the forest tunnel decorated in the night rain dew.
Standing there smoking a fat jay in a secluded forest path. You're the mighty druid and in a few hours you'll drive home, make coffee and fuck your babe with some funk music blasting on the speakers while you burst right into that pussy.
That. Is. Because. You. Are. A. Weakling.
>>698010586
Honestly, im surprised someone as retarded as he is, is right. When it comes down to it, your happiness is your responsibility, and finding your path to happiness is how you take responsibility for it, and one of the worst ways to do that is to pursue hedonism, strangely. Eudamonia is what they should look for. And not virtue in terms of what others think, but virtue in terms of what they truly think and feel.
>>697999587
Living ur life day by day. I don't care if I have purpose or not, as long as I'm happy atm then I'm sure I'm doing the right thing. Fuck future,fuck things that ain't my problem. If I was to care about everything that I should as adult i would be dead long time ago.
>>698011298
Summer is a meme. Time zones make it so that there are always underageb& on this site.

Keep muttering that under your breath and you'll accomplish precisely nothing. Weakling.
>>697999587
I'm actually smart and talented and unique with valuable creative ideas that I can make a lot of money off of and my only concern is finding a woman that's worth my time which I have a short list of contenders for.
Sucks to be a normalfag casual scum though, you're right about that.
>>698012251
I'm not a hedonist. I don't pursue sex above all things. It's almost like people should have CONTEXT before posting. It's almost as though people are complex creatures that contain multitudes, with varied and original lives.
Sorry if I sound bitter, it's just moronic reading off some life lesson you assume someone hasn't learned based on one sentence. I haven't provided anywhere near enough information for you or him to make these assumptions.
>>698012072
But you just think I haven't.
Just because I've lived doesn't mean I'm happy.
Just because I've fucked doesn't mean I'm satisfied.
Just because I've eaten doesn't mean I'm full.
My experiences are not yours, what you do to entertain your lizard brain doesn't come close to engaging me, think of it like you going to pick something heavy up VS a powerlifter doing so, the powerlifter does so without thought or effort, do you?

>>698012415
Youre a joke. I hope you know that. Looking down on others as weaklings because they feel bad is very base. Its the mark of an animal. Not a human being.
Human beings teach men how to fish, not leave them to starve with a sense of superiority.

Points for optimism, if nothing else.
>>698013257
but who made the coin and in which market does it have value?
he is the game developer
>>698012815
Actually everybody has a 'lizard brain'. It's the part of our brain closer to our spinal column. You're the one who's being judgemental. Look here's the case:
You're emotionally unstable, a sheltered little snowflake that's been kept in a glass jar on the mantlepiece for most of it's life. I'm not sheltered, i've come close to dying several times. That's what makes life worth LIVING. If you'd get into a plane crash and survive you might rethink your life.
I mean you'd probably go back to reading Schopenhauer and Deleuze or something, hunkering down trying to bury your ugly pimple face under your ball cap. Maybe you should see a psychologist cuz i'm just some asshole on /b/. Btw my prescription is immediate suicide.
>>698012566
If youre >>698010586
then i wasnt calling you a hedonist.
If youre >>698010073
I was agreeing with you despite your social retardation. Also not a hedonist.
If youre >>698009531
or >>698009481
Youre a hedonist.
>>698013257
>only finding value in what the rest of the universe feels about you instead of how you feel about yourself
looks like you're not done doing all the drugs yet faggot
>>698014061
I am >>698009481 , and no, I am not a hedonist. A hedonist is by definitition, someone who pursues pleasure and avoids pain above all things. I very rarely have sex or engage in vices, and I actually regularly engage in painful or uncomfortable behaviors that I could avoid if I chose to. I am almost the literal opposite of a hedonist.
>>698013950
idk I'm not that guy but you're the one comparing yourself to other people to try and justify your argument with experiences entirely adjacent to the subject at hand. If your ideas truly had value shouldn't they stand on their own without resorting to ad hominem?
>>698013682
It is what I came to understand in my heart after chanting for 7 years.
>>698014477
You're just an escapist. That's not better.
>>698013940
I believe in no maker of the coin nor which a market for the coin to be spent for they would all be one in the same.
>>698013950
>ad hominem
Yeah, okay, you're a towering pillar of logic.
>>698013768
Humans have executive functioning which allows for self awareness. Not all of us have to be animals like you because we can develop our own sense of morality from our own introspection. Its important to be cruel to your kind because you insist on doing the same unto others, however, for those of us who choose not to be like that and go above our own animalistic behaviors and urges, we can be whoever we wish to be regardless of our primal past. This is the difference between the civilized and the barbaric. Sadly, as youve noticed, most people have chosen to give up on higher things because of a variety of reasons, primarily a lack of hope. Some of us havent though, and were the ones that go above and beyond both you and depression fag op.
Go read a book on buddhistic meditation practices if you feel theres more to you than what you have now.
>>698014533
Chanting what, exactly?
>>698013950
The implication was you only use your lizard brain, and of course I'm emotionally unstable, that was why you were calling people weak, remember?
The point wasn't that I can't be happy just that you shouldn't try to force your standard of living and happiness on people who aren't you, who you don't and can't possibly know, who already feel like shit because they can't seem to find that thing that does in fact make them happy.
And modern psychologists are a joke, for every 1 good one you'll see 50+ completelty useless ones
>>698014608
Okay, at this point I'm 90% sure you're just trolling, but I'll bite, what makes you say I'm an escapist? Nevermind the fact that escapist can mean about a dozen different things.
>>698014497
Mfw people take me seriously.
>>698014533
Anon don't you understand that all life has equal value aside from what we attribute to it subjectively?
Also your ego isn't eradicated upon death, that's only what happens to the weak and immature who have not the strength to resist dissolution among the mass. I personally have the strength of will and individuality and also the righteous anger and stubborness to reect the whole of creation and it's cuckolding embrace as I pass from this life into the next as I steal another spot in creation and continue to actualize my own will instead of succumbing to the petty ignorance and submissiveness of this faggot universe.
>>698014906
You're not trying to be better anymore, you're just trying to feel better. I'm also not that guy you were talking to earlier.

>I was only pretending to be retarded
>>698014784
First, I'm not the person you were talking to, I was totally uninvolved with the conversation until I saw your overly optimistic post and wanted to point it out.
Second, you know NOTHING WHATSOEVER about me. I have given you literally NO information about myself than that I disagree with your assumption that humans are inherently charitable and not naturally vicious.
Now, I agree that people can and should train themselves to be better than our baser natures, but I also don't pretend that being "good" or "moral" is inherently better. It may be my OPINION, but I don't assume it's true for all people.
>>697999587
Life is what you make it, stop treating it like a chore
>>698014477
Thats rough. I used to be there. Take an inner journey and let go of the things society forces you to hold onto. Judge it for yourself and follow only you and your inner voice.
Just try to get as much enjoyment out of life as you can.
If you're going to suicide at least become a heroin addict and do it right.

>Not trying to be better
Okay. Again, you know NOTHING about me. I haven't told you enough to make that assumption. If you actually DID know anything about me, you'd know that much of the unhappiness I'm currently putting myself through is actually from self improvement. Quitting drugs sucks. Working out sucks. Going back to school SUCKS, but I'm doing it because I want to be better than what I am now.
Stop assuming you know my life based on a few fucking sentences. Don't use assumptions to draw conclusions, use information. conclusions.
>>697999587
beauty exists. love exists. they are imperfect and fleeting, but they exist. This barely makes life worth living, but somehow, it is enough. They are better than nothing, and death is nothingness. Also, death is always painful.

my life is really fuck up but I don't les it get to me.
>>698015359
Still, i insist im not as optimistic as you believe. I understand full well what must be done when it must be done, even if it involves things as harsh as child murder, like during war time. I was just asserting that we dont have to let that sort of thing consume us because we can be introspective and self aware enough to forgive ourselves for those sorts of actions, allowing us to push forward and make things better. If everyone were like that poster, there would hardly be any civilization.
>>698015684
That's largely irreverent. Stop assuming that your opinions about people are objectively true for all people everywhere. Different people have different lives. Maybe where he grew up a harsher demeanor was necessary. We don't know, so we shouldn't make assumptions.

literally just got out of the psyche ward two days ago man. for the same exact shit. it gets better. just need a different outlook on things. not sure how youll get that, everyones different, but you just gotta realize theres always something else for you out there. personally mine was meeting someone with so much happiness that she just shook me down to my very core emotionally. now everytime i get that way i think of her. not as in being in a relationship, but just her. im happy with just having that person there for me. thats what i do.

I went to the SGI as well during basic for the AF and I had already been chanting with my family for 4 years. They told me how to chant and that I was doing it wrong. I literally stopped attending that day. Fast forward to tech school I tried to go again to the service, same shit you dont chant like that chant like this it's all bullshit and takes away from the ultimately simple message. Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, that's fucking IT.

it is true that you shouldn't worry about things you cannot control but this MGTOW stop caring about people view point is just well retarded and will lead to only more problems.
>>697999587
The last person who really cared about me told me on their death bed "das spiel ist aus, doch nie vorbei" (the game is up, but never over). After they died I thought I had lost my only friend and that I was alone in this life. I have since realized that I am now my only friend. Learning to love myself was difficult. I drank heavily and got arrested many times for stealing and fighting. Eventually I learned to live for myself and myself alone. Life is a journey and along the way it's important to stop and enjoy the little things. Remember that material things and other people will not bring you happiness. Happiness comes from within.
Pic unrelated is to ruin the feels this gave you. You are now thinking of large benises.

I highly doubt hes been raped multiple times, subject to extended periods of isolation, and seen several people die in front of his eyes as i have. Theres nothing wrong with giving someone advice as long as theyre given the choice to not follow it.
Furthermore, many things are predictable about people, including what they should do to improve themselves. This is what the study of neuroscience/psychology is for.
And even furthermore, what someone should do is specialized to the individual even though one thing can help many people. I gave him the advice he needed for his situation. He very clearly looked down on others, and regardless of his past, its something that should be fixed for it wont help anyone, not even himself. He'll see in time.
>>698016961
you're a fag. stfu
>>698016161
I'm not the religious type. I'm forcing myself to be more disciplined for myself, not for some priest or mystic or guru. I'm improving my life in the best way I know how. If it turns out I'm wrong, I'll change my methods. I'd rather make my own decisions, tho no hate for people who have their book.

>>698016961
My problem here is with your arrogance. You assume that your advice just must be true, despite the fact that you lack information. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying passing on wisdom is pointless, I'm saying you don't have enough information to know you're right. Personal situations vary. You probably know how often people offer advice that's total bullshit because they think they can grasp the entirety of someone's situation in a quick conversation.
Also don't talk up your own suffering like it invalidates his. Suffering is relative. Just because you or I might have suffered more than him doesn't make his suffering any less important by comparison, especially to him.
>>698017175
but anon, whos shitposting
Me? Him? You? Whos getting the most replies? Whos playing retarded? How many layers of irony are we surfing on?
Thats the fun part about this site. No one can really tell even though many of us think we do. Am I shitposting? Am i not shitposting? What defines shitposting anon? What is perfect b8? The posts that seem serious? The posts that grab replies? Just have fun and post whatever you want, regardless of anything. Wont really make a difference anyway.
>>698017156
Then it's really not suffering is it, it's the quelling of an even greater suffering by suffering the side effect of an earlier suffering that you already inflicted upon yourself prior.
Suffering itself has no value or meaning, it's just a mistake committed out of ignorance and selfishness or shortsightedness.

You're the once who implied it was suffering in the first fucking place, I just said I put myself in painful or uncomfortable situations.

>>698017554
Youd be surprised how much you can know about an individual based on just the way they type. You even see it in me. Im not invalidating his suffering. Simply giving him advice and telling him to not look down on others for being weak by showing him what its liked to be looked down upon and to meditate. Ive yet to see you give me advice on how to fix my arrogance. From what i can tell, you dont even care about the other anon. Youre just upset by my attitude towards him.

your answer to depression is shutting yourself off from people.. human connection is important to everyone on a base level. Some could argue they dont need anyone at all around them but really thats just another way of enabling their depression further or people just trying to be edgy and "cool". Did this when I was younger alot then slowly changed my ways. Stopped being such a debby downer all the time and tried accepting people more. Guess I went my own way. like I said I agree with the "I immerse myself into my hobbies and don't worry about things I can't control, like women and the geopolitical system" statement 100%. caring about politics has always seemed stupid to me, they usually do whatever they want anyway so why care. but as for "MGTOW and stop caring about other people", I'd say I still care for people as much as they care for me, but you have to give it a fair go of knowing each other before you can make that judgement first

>>698018085
Look, I don't know how to tell you this, but you can't tell shit about someone based on what they type. People put on masks, dude. I write greentexts for fun, and whenever I do it I'll read a lot about the perspectives of whatever person whose identity I'm supposedly taking on, and I can make it look convincing too. Don't take things at face value.

>>698018299
No, you don't need to be around people, Anon; in fact, I've found that I feel better the more alone I am. I honestly hate being around others, and don't even like being approached in public (which is part of why I spend as little time outside as I can). People don't like/care about me, and the feeling is definitely mutual. I see no purpose in dealing with others unless it's as a means to an end.
Everyone else operates the exact same way. Women are especially guilty of this.

No, not at all. I decided I didn't want to keep living the way I was living, so I started working to get myself out of that situation. It's working well. It sucks, and it'll continue to suck for a while, but it'll get better over time. It's working brilliantly. There is no problem here.

How do people fail to kill themselves? It is one of the easiest things to do.
>>698019866
You don't KNOW that his actions are at fault. You just assume it's true. It's entirely possible that he actually HAS just been shit on his whole life.
>>698019697

It's like reopening a wound because you're terrified of a scar.

>>698020024
The probability would be unlikely. Its possible he was shit on so much at one point he no longer knows anything else, however that would still make his current state his own fault and within his power to change.
>>698020024
And this is so.
>>698020072
Yeah, you're just trolling at this point. You take my original simple statment, try to walk it through a twisted labyrinth of dogma and philosophy, then when I don't play ball you start pretending that you don't understand the idea of sacrifice for later gains.
On the off chance you actually ARE serious, then I'll explain this real, REAL simple for you. Sometimes... Pain can be... CONSTRUCTIVE. Sometimes things hurt, but you know they'll make your life better, so you keep doing them. Not everything in life is easy, not everything good is pleasurable. In the grand irony of all this, you really come across as a hedonist.
>>698018811
>Everyone else operates the exact same way.
> I've found that I feel better the more alone I am
> People don't like/care about me, and the feeling is definitely mutual
It exactly what I said before, sound like your not even giving anyone a chance to even know you or like you to start with so how can you think anyone could like someone like that which in turn only makes yourself more inhospitable.
To each is their own though, don't get me wrong, you do you man. but like I said I was the exact same way for ages then slowly (not easily) but slowly tried stepping out a bit more and now looking back I see how ridiculous it was. Change is your to make at any time, step by step towards something possibly better or choose to stay a loner forever but make no mistake that it is YOUR choice to try and not SOCIETIES so you can't expect anyone to come to you. Just my 2 cents from where I have been. No hostility meant and if thats how it came off then sorry about that. best of luck
>>698020355
Yes, we agree then, it's unlikely but it's possible. He could change his life, but he clearly has no interest in changing it, so what's the problem?

Look, I'm not OP, so maybe I'm off base here, but I think the problem preventing understanding here might just be one of perspective. No one here is really wrong, but we're all looking at it from different viewpoints.
Yes, this guy is bitter, and yes, he probably could change his life if he wanted to, he obviously doesn't want to, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes you just get so bitter from the world hitting you that you just don't want to try anymore. Whether or not you hate the world back, you don't want anything to do with people. Is he bitter? Yeah. Is he obstinate? Probably. But is there anything wrong with that, if he's going off to do his own thing?

Giving up is as good as being dead. However its his choice if he wants to do so. However if he chooses to give up then he has no right to complain about his life or anything that happens to him. I have had every horrible thing you can imagine happen to me from being shot, to being tortured, I never gave up and never will. What ever doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Pathetic. Try dieing for something. At this point all you have left is altruism. You will feel way better about dieing if it made someone else's life better. Push a kid from out in front of a car, take a bullet for a mother during a bank robbery, jump on a jihadist, fucking something. It's not a wasted life you should regret, it's a wasted death.

What is it you exactly want from life? Did you want it to be some sort of fantastic adventure, where justice is served and everyone lives happily ever after? Did you want it to be fair, where everyone gets what they deserve, and everyone can can be anybody they want?
Fuck if these are your expectations for what life is then I'd have no idea how you would stop being depressed. You are entitled to nothing, and neither is anyone else. If that rich guy fucks your wife, get a divorce or work out the issues in your marriage. If you're scared of being attacked, get a gun or learn some self defense. All you get in life is what you can snatch from societies greedy little fingers.
>Oh but my life is so much worse than anyone elses, have pity b, and help me kill myself.
No one cares. We've all got our own shit to deal with. You have a computer, and you're not starving to death, and it sounds like you have a rather high opinion of your own intelligence. You have plenty to solve your issues.

You're mentally ill. Or you're 22, but most people drink enough to avoid this at that stage.
Get medication, and stop being so pessimistic. Even at your shittiest moment, at least you're alive. In that moment it might be all you have going for you. Don't throw it away, would you throw your last $10 away? Use it. Rebuild from it if you have to. Draw purpose from the pursuit of betterment. Find a purpose, move to the woods if you have to.
I had similar pessimistic/depressive feelings as well. I lost my 15 years old dog and it actually helped put my heart back to the right place. The pain possibly? Not sure what caused it.

>>697999587
I'm a depressed person and I think about suicide a lot but I haven't killed myself yet. Here's some stuff I tell myself when I'm having a bad time.
1.) People (including you and me) habitually rationalize their emotions. It's hard to imagine feeling bad for no reason. So a depressed person will build up a grand architecture of reasons to feel bad in order to explain to themselves why they feel bad. Then, they'll genuinely believe in their reasons to feel bad, which will cause a feedback loop of feeling worse and worse.
2.) People (including you and me) are attracted to generalizations and make them often. Generalizations are a tool for sorting the information we take in. The problem is that they're fallible and if we live by them rather than try to disprove them, we live a lie. Examples of generalizations in your post:
>Politics don't matter
>procreation and love even is a scam
>true happiness is a myth
3.) There's a lot of interesting things to learn, and staying curious is my most reliable strategy for being happy
4.) Life can be thought of as one big narrative or as a collection of moments. If I think about it as a big narrative, I tend to wallow in guilt over the past and dread for the future. If I think about it as a collection of moments, I get curious about what a given moment can be.
I sure like it when I check a thread and other anons are arguing my position for me for some reason

I've not wife to be an unfaithful whore. Not that I would bind myself in any way to another who was not worthy of my trust.
>and to not be murdered outright by someone just like you who couldn't take it and snapped
If I am to die by the actions of another so be it I will not die without taking them with me.
>until eventually you get colon cancer and die slowly and painfully
Shit happens, if it happens painfully it happens painfully. If you can't take the pain we no longer require your existence on this planet anymore. Be free to evacuate whenever you feel the need.
>Inb4 kill yourself, just (unfortunately) failed an attempt
so did you lack the ability or the will to follow through?
>So tl;Dr how does /b/ deal with existential anguish, the depression of existence, and generalized
I can't speak for these others. I will speak clearly for myself. You may fail, you may fail a million times... I don't have that luxury. I could never afford weakness and have paid for every mistake.
Ok faggots I'm tired of your bullshit.
How the fuck do you, a pleb human, say with confidence and factuality that life is meaningless? How do you know? You bloody don't. The entirety of human knowledge doesn't begin to explain some of the most fundamental questions about our universe. so how can you, one fucking person, say "yep, life's pointless, just a fact y'know"
Idk, just seems weird af to base my entire existence off an assumption

Trips speak truth. And, you know, just generally being right, that helps with truth too.
>>698026555
Life is meaningless, it's a fact and built on solid proofs.
I won't bother justifying myself to you, little shit. I went to Harvard.
>>698025747
No, wasn't neglected during childhood per se. I just don't see the purpose in interpersonal relationships as an adult outside of what's absolutely necessary. Also, "love" is just a hormonal response.

Holy shit you're a special kind of edgy faggot.
If i was your granddad and read you type this shit i would go and slap your dad for raising such a fuck and then id come and spank your ass.

The statement that life is meaningless is every bit as unfalsifiable as the statement that life has meaning.
>>698027723
Wrong. Based on 7 solid evidences. Once again, I won't bother explaining them to you cause you're an idiot. I studied quantum physaks.
>>698027162
By that response alone ill clump you into the special group i have. The group of retards+inexperienced people that make edgy shit claims with a lack knowledge and clearly wisdom.
When you start the journey of finding yourself truthfully, succeed to an extent and eventually start to love what you make of yourself as a man you will find someone similiar you will love because they will understand and you will understand them.
>>698027723
Life has no inherent meaning, but it has the inherent potential for meaning. The meaning and value of a life, and the substance of your own soul and individuality is something that has to be built up and created according to your own will.

This is b8, isn't it you turd?

Okay. I'm 27 and have likely seen/done more than most of the people who have posted in here (including you), but if you want to label me as being retarded and inexperienced, that's fine by me. It only shows me that you're still living in a pipe dream, convincing yourself that "love" is a true thing that exists objectively, and that a person 'should' want to experience it with other people.
At some point, you'll learn how rightfully fucked up the world is, and how wrong you are for thinking otherwise.
>>697999587
I just don't think about it.
