/wg/ is one of the only boards left untouched by shitposting.

it's special, pure, and rare, like a gleaming diamond, or a snow-white colt.

we must protect it.

I'm happy. Like, not jumping up and down, but a strange, contented happy. That said, I'm tired. My soul is tired, which sounds so over dramatic, but I don't know how else to phrase it. Something inside of me feels old, old and exhausted. It doesn't detract from how I'm feeling, but at the end of each day I feel it, like an echo I'm hearing from somewhere far away. Maybe it's my OCD or PTSD acting up, maybe it's some part of me I've tried to ignore. All that said, I am happy though. And you have to celebrate those little victories, right?

as for laziness, which can also directly contribute to the brainfog, only you yourself can solve that issue by hauling your ass out of your chair and doing something vaguely productive that has some kind of a routine to it, whether it's getting a job, finding a new hobby or expanding the scope of an existing hobby, or just getting out of the basement/shed/flat/apartment/house and going for a long walk once or twice a day

I'm supposed to be doing so much. I'm supposed to be training, I'm supposed to be working on my music, I'm supposed to be hanging out with my bros, but I'm so exhausted from work, and I've been struggling with stomach issues. Constant nausea, gas, long shit times, or constipation, there isn't anything wrong according to the doctors. I'm cutting so much out of my diet and going down to the basics. No more processed slop, no more fast foot, no more alcohol, no more refined sugar or anything with high fructose corn syrup.
No changes. I'm so dejected. I'm don't even have extra weight on me. I look perfectly normal. I'm trying my best to improve, for the first time in my life I can honestly say that I'm doing everything in my power but I can't seem to move the needle.

But don't give up, keep moving ahead even if it seems pointless because it's even more pointless to have made the steps you have then not keep moving.

This site is a practice of digging for gold, and leaving the rocks in the quarry. It takes patience, time, and an eye for what you might like in everything. I only really worry when the boards get slow of which, was happening prior to the summer. I personally, have no strong clue to where else I'd go, other than where my hands and feet would feel drawn. It's freeing and I see how it could sound whimsical, or fantastic, but it really has a melancholy. Someimes, you just want to be, where you enjoy to be.

If I could find a board here for old HL2 multiplayer mods, garrys mod, and the like; that'd be fantastic really. Back to lurking...

> I'm cutting so much out of my diet and going down to the basics. No more processed slop, no more fast foot, no more alcohol, no more refined sugar or anything with high fructose corn syrup.

Ironically, the problems with going nuclear and quickly cutting more and more out of your diet and more or less switching overnight to what might seem to be a 'healthy' diet is that you not only risk not giving your body what it actually needs to keep it fully fueled, healthy, and working properly, especially if you have a busy lifestyle with work and training, etc., but the sudden change in diet could actually be causing most/all of the symptoms you listed above that your doctors can apparently find no cause for.

So instead of just suddenly cutting off whole food groups that so-called 'experts' deem to be 'bad', and/or falling for the same tired old faddy diets that not only don't actually work, but are usually counter-productive in the long term, perhaps try an alternative plan of eating and drinking what you want, but only within carefully controlled sensible portion sizes, i.e. no more coffee table sized pizzas for 1 with a 6-pack of beer or a couple of xxl sized diet cokes to wash it down, instead get the small pizza and cut that shit up and make 2 or 3 meals out of it and wash each portion down with 1 beer or perhaps a bottle of some kind of flavored water.

And rather than having a 12 box of donuts for dessert, get the 4 box and have 1 donut and save the rest to make up 3 more desserts.

And don't think you have to eat the exact same foods for each meal like you do with some diets; mix it up every day and keep each meal interesting within actually sensible serving sizes and then you'll be far more likely to both avoid the kinds of cravings that normally wreck any diet and also keep with the plan while also making sure you're eating and drinking enough to keep yourself properly fueled and fit and ready for your normal daily lifestyle.

Hey, pal. I wonder if you could use some fiber. When I used to have those issues I bought an offbrand container of fiber powder. Couple spoons in a glass of water when you wake up, another when you go to bed. This will clear you out and make it not take twenty minutes to shit. Been there. Add more fiber to your diet too - lentils are cheaper than dirt and they taste great. Tons of fiber there. A pound of dried ones will run you less than $1.50 at Walmart and will make two enormous bowls. Add the dried lentils to the crockpot with several cups of water (adjust the amount after your first try til you find how thin/thick you like them) and whatever spices you want. Can throw in leftover vegetables from the fridge and bits of meat to use it up. On low all day, enjoy at night. Cheap as hell, tastes great, good nutrition. Keep posting ITT with your progress. Seriously, grab some fiber powder and get your shitting schedule back on track. Give it a few days to a week, I bet you will see an improvement. This anon here has some good advice too:

Also, it's good that you cut out the HFCS (a suspected cause of food allergies and/or gastrointestinal issues), but if you can also avoid any of the other artificial sweeteners out there as well then that's definitely a good thing, i.e. aspartame (derived from potassium salt), acesulfame (also derived from potassium salt), saccharine (derived from sodium salt), sucralose (chemically processed methanated sugar), stevia (derived from the result of processing specific plant leaves, which 'pre-stevia' processed result apparently can be mutagenic in high levels, except nobody seems to know exactly what constitutes a 'high level' of it).

That said, don't be quite so concerned about entirely cutting out sugar though, not saying you need to consume 15 pounds of it a day, just that a small but reasonable amount of sugar as part of a sensible daily diet based on portion control rather than calorie counting is still absolutely okay, because cutting sugar out 100% will definitely lead to the kinds of cravings that will absolutely guaranteed wreck any attempt at a sensible daily diet.

This is why all those 'low sugar' and 'diet' drinks and foods that use any of those aforementioned artificial sweeteners also generally include at least some amount of actual sugar in their recipes, because it was eventually found that using just artificial sweeteners on their own in products was causing people to actually drink and eat MORE and thus GAIN more weight, this was because people weren't getting the necessary triggers (that you can only get from actual sugar) in their brains that they'd consumed something sweet, and of course as the cravings continually built up people would eat and drink more of their 'diet' products and still not get the needed 'sweet' triggers, and so the vicious cycle would only continue and escalate as the people increasingly craved something sweet as they followed their diet and yet they piled on the pounds and couldn't work out why.

...cont.

This is also why any of those drink and food products out there that specifically claim to be 'zero sugar' and which actually contain no actual sugar in them, should be completely avoided, at least certainly while attempting a sensible daily diet, because those products will absolutely not help any effort to maintain or lose weight, but instead will almost certainly contribute to weight gain through increased food and drink consumption caused by unfulfilled cravings.

Thanks anon. Did she just adjust lifestyle or did she eventually find over the counter solutions?
>>7997227
For sure, I wasn't ever a gluttonous/binge eater. It was more of a gradual reduction and moderation, and eventually i got to the point where I realized that I didn't really miss the unhealthy foods and alcohol so moderation just became cutting. I'll still have some pizza or a doughnut, but I prefer baking pastries myself these days.
>>7997236
I went for the fibre route a while back, and it worked well initially and then stopped working. I shifted to including more foods high in magnesium.
That is a relatively recent change that seems to be helping in addition to more water.
>>7997394
I didn't know there was more than aspartame, thanks anon. Something about artificial sweeteners as a solution in the minds of these food companies instead of making a moderated product seems so insidious to me.
I haven't really gone down the rabbit hole of specific diets perse, but I guess I am organically inching towards more of a mediterranean diet.

Man, people don't realize just how essential water is! I used to be a huge soda drinker, with and without sugar, didn't matter.

Had low energy, felt often queasy, ran out of soda one day and didn't feel like going to the store and decided I'd give my body a break. I had no idea the urge I got for water when it first hit my lips, been drinking water now instead of anything else and my queasiness has gone away, and I have more energy.

I can feel my body actually crave water now.

aye, the really insidious thing though is the fact that so-called food and scientific 'experts' went on the longest rant about how too much salt is bad for people, and then when they got bored of that after salt levels started being reduced in certain processed foods they next went after saturated fats before eventually switching their focus and going after sugar

to which pressure the response from the food and drink production industry was to start creating and/or using a whole bunch of different additional 'sugar alternatives', the three most commonly used of which (i.e. aspartame, acesulfame, saccharine), at least until Stevia/Steviol came along a few years ago, were ALL based on salts...

and of course hardly anyone in the food & drink industry raised a fuss about that inconvenient fact, and hardly anyone from the scientific community or from federal bodies like the FDA raised much of a fuss about that fact either, and so the general public were, and still are, mostly left completely in the dark about that whole awkward little paradox of "too much salt is bad for you, but here, have some secret salt..."

As for baking your own pastries, good call, can't beat a freshly baked pastry, unless it's with some freshly baked cake :D

a video?

if it's for a reasonably decently paying job with good prospects at some kind of high-end artsy media entertainment company or graphic/architectural/interior design studio, and the video is supposed to demonstrate your portfolio and/or skillset, then honestly it might actually just be worth sucking it up and making the video.

on the other hand if it's meant to be video c.v. in lieu of an in-person interview for some slightly more than minimum wage gig with minimal future prospects, wherein you'd be expected to work up to 20 hours a day, 6 days a week, with no paid overtime, and you'd essentially be the office gopher and teaboy, then fuck that shit.

Today i had a good day at work, and im getting a raise soon. Then i got an email from my professor saying i got a 9 in the course and dont have to take finals, which means i have a month of rest from uni. To celebrate my father oppened up a nice bottle of Gran Enemigo Malbec, so i layed on the couch and watched the last episode of The Bear with a glass of wine on my hand. I cried. Then i ate dinner cooked by my mom, it was delicious. While eating i got a whatsapp from my grandmother, she wanted to congratulate me, i told her that it means a lot, and that i care for her.
And now im on my bed, listening to the soft rain on the roof. Life was pretty good today anons, i am happy.

Hope you guys are doing well, i love you all. <3

My dad died last week of congestive heart failure. No one in my family knew that his health was as bad as it was. He was having minor heart attacks for 3 days, checked himself into the hospital, had a major heart attack and they couldn't save him. I called him on July 3rd. My last conversation with him was cut hort because doctors walked into the room and he said he had to go.
I asked him if he was scared, and he replied "a little." In a tone that I'd never heard him speak in before. He was dead two days later.

Now I'm stuck planning a funeral with my brother, with no road map to guide us. (Not even sure he had life insurance.) I work 14hr days and have a life and kids of my own who are starting school in a few weeks. Feeling overwhelmed is an understatement.
I'm still kicking myself for not calling him on the 4th.

I do have a voice-mail from him saved though. It was on my birthday this year. All he said was "....hey." I listen to it daily.

Eventually I can seriously start considering marriage, but the girl I'm currently with isn't the right girl to marry; differences in certain values make me feel that way, things that are 'non-negotiable' so to speak. This feeling sucks because I like her, and if a few things were different she'd be an unquestionable keeper.

My favorite wallpaper. Only have this resolution.

I am trying to cover a hole in living room wall that was actually drilled on purpose for TV mount, but I don't want to put the TV on the wall and am renting this house. I am going to order 24"×36" poster board print of... something. Has to be portrait, but if resolution is high enough I think I can crop to the needed dimensions and it will still look okay.

Two things I have thought I'd be okay with but haven't been able to find are:
- MC Escher, the famous one, or anything with optical illusion
- The world at night map, but as two hemispheres, one on top of the other

Anyone have something like the above? Or if not, have any ideas? Suggestions welcome

I'm further than I was a year ago. I still believe I have further to go. Things are good yet my mental sanity is not holding. Even trough good times, there's overwhelming fear and anxiety that cuts my sleep. A constant background process that has memory leak. I changed everything for the better but the only thing that hasn't updated is that single process. An outdated point of view with new data to use. And through all this, I found at some point something that helped sanitize the process's output just to lose it again and putting me deeper in this constant unset state that's now.

If I can give one advice to anyone reading this :
Don't get personally involved in something you can't walk out of in 30 seconds without ruining yourself either personally or professionally

Ha, fucking mood my man. What you're experiencing is not uncommon, in fact it is very common...your brain and body have a lot of processes that only care about one thing. Keeping you alive. You're in a mild flight or fight mode all the time because of these previous experiences. I was in one of these modes because and just recently got out of it. I was in this mode for 2 years almost because of a stressful period where I finished a degree, and working with a former friend that turned his narc tendencies to 11, and decided to bully me because he was jealous of how far I've come in life.
You need to do two things: Lift, and bury the past.
For the lifting part, you can find power lifting racks and bars for around 250 bucks ish. You don't need a gym membership, but that works too if you don't have an option. Get a mold, bag of concrete, 2" diameter pipe for the hole in the middle, make your own plates. You can make a 35 pound concrete plate for like 10 bucks. Follow the Strong Lifts program to start (google it).
You should also engage with this program that was created by a few psychs including Jordan Peterson. It's called self-authoring, but specifically the section called past offering. It's supposed to help you put away the past and just resolve those old emotions. You write about sections in your life and then identify important memories and how it affected you, all in a structured way. Its 14 bucks, buy it. Finishing that shit made me feel great, like I did as a kid, carefree and even more motivated to do things than I was before.
Good luck man.

Additional point: You lift for two reasons, to feel tougher and stronger, and to get those endorphins.

As for me, what I'm thinking, life is good and I'm enjoying the ride. I put the work in, it's starting to pay off. The only way you can fail is if you don't try.

Every time, just when I think I've found solace, I come across something that makes me feel alienated yet again. Whether it's finding out about a friend's concerning opinions, even if they didn't mean harm, or if its seeing literal plague rats infest anything and everything (even this very thread). At times I have to hold myself back from exploding on people and threatening them and wishing violence on them or on genuinely evil people. I've already lost a Discord account to that, no joke. I could retreat back into nostalgia, but then I would have to reckon that ruinous things were happening even then. I like old tech and aesthetics and either the powers that be want to take that away, or cloutchasers will make it the lamest fucking thing ever. Not to mention that several issues I have strong stances on have been subject to one of the most blatant yet distressingly successful shitcoat ops of all time.

Am I just doomed to be a wanderer? I've already drifted away from many communities. I'm a much different person than I was 5 years ago, and and that was already a far cry from what I was like 5 years prior, at least in terms of beliefs and personal tastes.

Knowing a trade is extremely beneficial to you and can be very profitable. Just because you're welding or plumbing and they're working in an office doesn't make them better than you. Where I live they're hiring anybody with a pulse for an electrician apprenticeship for $23/hr starting. You can definitely do well in life working a trade. The "you have to go to college to amount to anything" is a very outdated (and flat out wrong) way of thinking. If your friends are really friends they will build you up, not drag you down or make you feel lesser. Good luck, pal.

Feels like ever since I moved in with my girlfriend, she seems to care to be around me less and less and doesn't really invite me to come with her often when she goes out for coffee or errands. She doesn't even really initiate sex or even cuddles, and I'm almost always the first person to reach out. When I bring this up with her and tell her I feel unwanted/unloved, she says she's sorry, it's her fault, she'll try to do better, etc. all the usual shit but it feels like she doesn't even try to change, nothing actually happens in reality. I want to give her the benefit of the doubt as she's been stressed out due to lack of hours at work, but this is the second relationship in a row where I've felt like I'm putting 90% of the work in for physical affection and emotional connection and getting next to no reward back. Love shouldn't be like this, right? I'm right in saying she doesn't love me?

you dont live with women, if you do, they lose all respect for you once they know you want them. if you want to make this work, go do your thing without her, dont ask, just go do you, i can not stress how women say one thing and do another, if she knows you love her and want her, she will push you further away to "shit test" you, keep your life yours, the more you allow her in the more she will lose all respect for you. love is a facade to get men to give women what they want, children. once they have that you no longer matter, and sex is over. id suggest a reading the "rational male", you can either love women or understand them, you can not do both.

If she's making you feel unwanted then you need to get her to want to take you. It's probably not the nicest way to say it, but you need to use that negative drive to put you at the best you. If she still doesn't want to spend time with you then, you should break up with her because you're not happy. You can't rely on people to change, but you can change yourself. My Ex and I had similar issues, in the end we separated, not because of a lack of love, but because we just didn't fit well together (got lazy and did too many drugs) and that's Okay.

>>8001606
This is one way to look at a relationship, however I prefer one where your partner is your best friend, One where your lives aren't bound together because of some sense of "duty" but where you share what parts of your lives you want--be it pain, pleasure, peace, w/e. I agree that you should live your own life, but if you share parts of your life you might find yourself more in a state of "love".

The idea of loving or understanding is simple-minded. There's barely any difference between the male and female brain, it's more of a chemical balancing issue. And the state of "love" does exists, it's when a specific person triggers your love juices (not your horny juices). The ideal goal is to work building a love so that every time you see that person you feel some amount of love (even when you're pissed off)

Amen. It's definitely not a generational thing. I'd say anyone who spends time "watching twitch" for 3 hrs a day or 4hrs "browsing" tiktok (bleh) is considered "normal" and that kind of behavior leads to having an unhappy life. It's hard when these same people end up with depression and mental issues and then find comfort and support through those same mediums keeping them unhappy. :(

I can't wait to move to a country where people are normal, not racist phone-jockeys.

I tried to kill myself. I overdosed while I had severe pneumonia, I was probably less than hour from certain death. I did it high on benzodiazepines and I only figured that I tried to end it all about a month later when I talked with the guy that sold me the drugs (he was with me that night, before I swallowed everything). I'm still recovering, but in terms of my mental health - I feel like I'm stuck in the same life that put me in the position to commit suicide, and I don't have an escape. I have a mother, that I can't say anything to, since she loves to deny how badly I feel. I have a girlfriend, yet we fight constantly and any time I even bring up how toxic that is, she goes into a suicidal rage. Her family continues to talk shit behind my back, they always hated me. My family is now completely indifferent to me. I got diagnosed with ADHD this week, at 20, yet, my health is so bad, I can't take meds for it.

I had a fight with my girlfriend over the phone yesterday. After crying for two hours and wanting to harm myself, as I usually would've done, I have now lost all emotion. I'm in limbo. I started drinking, even though it's really bad with my antidepressants and anti-anxiety medication. I feel like it's only a matter of time before I go back and successfully end my life. Seems like nothing changes, and there's not a lot I can change. Any decision is backed with resentment, guilt and sadness. Doing nothing feels terrible, doing something feels worse. I can't get out without harming myself even more.

My soul yearns for something better. It's tired and hurt. I have never really had a friend group and the one good friend I've had I haven't talked to in years, we drifted away from each other long ago. Since probably middle school a deep sadness has kindled itself into my core and has grown into a part of me. Even before then I've seen the world akin to a television show, for lack of a better term, with the feeling growing stronger as time escapes. I watch the people I went to school with and used to be around make memories with their lifelong friends, get married, have kids, etc. while I watch the seasons pass. I'm painfully comfortable in this position. Most every time I've casted my self into the show I end up hurt by the people I put my trust into. Betrayed, lied to, forgotten, or used. No use in specifics but the only person to break that rule has been my mother. What a great person she is. At least I have her. It hurts me to pain her with my inescapable sadness. Most of the time I hide it. Sometimes I forget about it. But always it comes back. I often wonder if something is wrong with me. That must be the case because why else would these things happen to me? However from the brief times I let people in I seem to be genuinely enjoyed by the people I talk to. Most people want to keep talking to me and if I talk to them one on one they seem to trust me with things they never or often never tell others. Yet I am still alone. It must be because of my fear of letting people in and potentially being drastically hurt. Partly because of that I have never had a real relationship with a woman. May also be due to my own stupidity but either way it adds a great pain onto an ocean of hurt. Until I get over this grave problem I'll sit in my field of peace and enjoy the beauty of nature and enjoy my small moments of happiness before the sadness comes back.

The sadness coming back is painful, but it as much of a part of life as the happiness is, and if you want it to be it can help highlight that happiness.
I hope we both get over our fear of really emotionally connecting with people.
I'm often afraid that if I tell people how I really feel and who I am, it'd push them away. And it has, even one I think I might've loved. Just as I thought I was getting somewhere, too. But I am going to move on.

College is for suckers and have been since the 90's. Trade school is common sense.

Been lifting for a year this month. Never gave up a single day. I believe I can't live without it anymore. Two hours daily from Mon 'til Fri. It allows me to evacuate overwhelming feelings and feel satisfied physically and mentally about a progress that only I can do for myself and by myself.

22, battling porn and gambling addiction. When I was younger I made a lot of money quickly, it skewed my value of it, and now I've lost it all. All this time I've been wanting to overcome all my flaws, but for some reason the light at the end of the tunnel never gets closers. I feel like I'm so far gone, that what's ahead of me just seems impossible to overcome. Too fearful to ask anybody for help in fear of judgement. With all that being said for some reason, I still try to be better than I was yesterday, but I guess I'm starting to lose hope once and for all.

Is it worse to realize there is something to live for but recognizing it's very remote and probably unattainable, or that there is nothing to live for?

After some experience, I think it's the former. I've irregularly vacillated between long sustained periods of despair and small windows of blissful contentment or even ecstasy for almost 12 years. I've made almost no progress in my life despite being nearly 30. I think it's already over and I've been telling myself that for 12 years, but surely having atrophied myself I can be vindicated now, right? I don't even have the agency to stop desiccating. Maybe one of these days I'll become a mummy.
I'm a typical pseudo-intellectual shut-in who suspects they see more about life and is at bottom angry and afraid in similar fashion to many who use this site. If you're by the shore and soil yourself digging in the rotting wrack you may spy me. I'm a thirsty thing drinking the brine; I love and hate being seen.

I can see what I should do and understand that it's the best thing I could do to verify what I think is best and then live that, yet I fail over and over again to even properly start. It's an Augean stable and I'm not Hercules. I don't have faith in myself to do anything. I don't even know why I always fail to sustain my efforts despite speculating endlessly about them and trying again. It would be simplest to conclude I'm a moron, but that attribution seems surprisingly irrelevant to what I think is good about life. I'm just confused almost all the way down, my only certainty is I'm too foolish to give up. When you glimpse heaven the world loses some of its lustre.

This may sound vapid but I can hardly express what I mean in 2k characters. Ultimately I am alone, and that itself is a fine arrangement I've made. It might be pointless messaging here but I'm not as afraid of reproach anymore. I'm still curious how the creature looming over me will disdain my wriggling. Maybe I'll learn something new.

I think I see where you're coming from. For many years I drifted, realizing that what I was doing was "wrong" in the sense that I wasn't working. Trying to smooth everyone over with the, "it'll be different eventually" security blanket, and at the same time attempting to placate the guilt I always felt. Over time that placation was just not enough anymore.

The "arrangement" (if you can call it that) was that my wife worked full time and I took care of the house. I was essentially a stay at home dad without any kids, which was emasculating in itself. She was always supportive of me, gave me encouragement. It was my own shit standing in the way, just as usual. My body went to shit, I ballooned to an enormous size, and was just generally unhappy with the hole I'd dug myself into. In the end, she sat me down. "Anon, I can't be the only one working anymore. I don't want to feel anxious every time a bill comes due. I'm exhausted." That resonated with me. The next day, I started applying for entry level jobs at 35 years old. Soon after, I was hired.

The guilt had overwhelmed me for so long that I was becoming complacent with how my actions (really, inactions) were affecting my wife. That's no way to treat a woman you love. Everybody says this, but here's one of the times where it's the truth: the only person standing in the way of my success was myself. As ever, we are our own worst critics.

This is a bit of a rant and I apologize for not direct addressing your post. In my opinion, failure doesn't matter. If you try for something and it doesn't work out, you wake up the next day and try something different. Eventually you will get out of your own way and allow yourself that chance to succeed. I love you, pal. Keep me posted. Godspeed.

8663 again, thank you for your response!

One issue (and sometimes blessing) of my life is an uncertainty whether I love other people. Your love for your wife, with the right trigger, motivated you out of your circumstances but I don't believe I have something comparable currently. What's most compelling to me about life is not other people, but I'm unsure if the love people refer to is simpler and present in me and I haven't recognized it properly. I feel stupid for asking this but I want to know: what are the signs of the love you had which are easy-enough for a sandhopper like me to know I am or am not experiencing the same thing?

Maybe the guilt you speak of is a sign because that does resonate with me. I have the kernel of a conscience somewhere, and it does fuel my apathy and sense of worthlessness that I'm near useless. The one I care most about is 'myself' (past, present, and future iterations of that self too that might not be "me" as I understand me now) and I recognize my lifestyle is no way to respect myself. It hasn't been enough to break me out of this malaise, which is part of my frustration: the one thing I seem to care about isn't enough to get me where I want. I think the guilt has also overwhelmed me in a way that I'm complacent with my inactions and I understand that it's ruining my prospects and those of people around me, but since I already feel like things are over anyway I often don't see the point in trying. I know these reactions are like seasons, and there are seasons of productivity and even job searching/application but I'm not consistent enough to make significant change. Something always derails me. I'm also convinced that even if someone were stupid enough to hire me for my major for I'd fuck it up anyway because I believe I'm incapable of anything.

Maybe I lack the trigger.

This is one of my favorite wallpapers and came from a thread here within the last few years, I'd like to extend it to you.

>what are the signs of the love you had
Interesting question. People often compare it to the feeling of "butterflies." For me it was the way I felt whenever I talked to her. Complete elation, a high feeling, needing to catch my breath because my mind was working a hundred miles an hour and I couldn't think straight. It's hard to describe. It is probably the most pure example of the saying, "When you feel it, you'll know it." At least that's how it was for me.

As far as your feeling of it being "over," I can understand thinking like that. But look at it like this: you're not thirty years old yet. The average male (I'm assuming you're male) life expectancy in the US (I'm assuming you're American) is 77 years old. This means you aren't even halfway through your life yet. Do you want to feel this way for another 35+ years? Imagine the things that can be accomplished in that span of time. In fact, if you're 29 right now, you have, statistically, around 38 more years. We landed on the moon in 1969, and the iPhone launched in 2007 - 38 years. Imagine all the shit that happened in that span of time. Knowing all that, I'm certain that, eventually, you can find something to give your life meaning and purpose.

As for love, that can be hard. As far as I'm concerned, you have to learn to love yourself before you can extend that love to anyone else. Find a way to be content, then find the love. It might happen the other way around, or simultaneously. But if you keep trying, it's virtually impossible to fail. I'm confident things will improve for you. Just keep going.

Thanks for the wallpaper. Saved. Here's one I took at my old "thinking spot."

I keep getting used, and it's incredibly frustrating, it feels like everything I do to make my life more bearable, every right step I take just makes me return to this shitty state of someone I care about using the fact that I care about them, or not caring at all. This isn't even just about my shitty romantic life, it's about a lot of friendships even mentors and parental figures that just never cared back and either hurt me or ended up hurting me. I took this photo a while back

Outside of my family it's like I don't exist (sometimes quite literally, others don't seem to notice that I'm there and sometimes even get jumpscared when they do), and I have begun to despise others for their indifference. I simply cannot form a genuine connection with others, and I can't make any new friends or acquaintances. Well, now I don't want to anymore, I just want to live and die alone, eventually in the most isolated areas I can possibly find, but it still hurts a little bit.

I feel like I can't be myself anymore. What was once liberalism is now a 1984 hivemind.

All my friends have turned from joking about everything from gays to blacks to abortions, but now I'm afraid to say anything without them flipping out.

I can't find a woman because they're either far left or right. I get laid and ditch them, which I can't really complain, but I feel empty.

I feel like the internet has turned the world to shit. In giving everyone a voice, they use it to judge and condemn, forcing people to become walking/talking robots of what they expect they should be, not who they really are.

The more I think about it, the more I think, "hey, maybe death ain't so bad"

I came here looking for wallpaper aesthetics to fit / inspire a written story idea I had. I wrote a thousand words of it and liked it, but after the glow of a new idea comes the struggle of keeping it alive. It's especially hard when you put your work out for honest, no-holds barred critique, and... no one just fucking replies, ever. You can put your heart out on the page, sharpen your writing style to as spare and precise as you can make it, do as much goddamn research as you want, and invite flaming as unrestrained as old-school mailing list tradition in the pursuit of constant artistic improvement, but what does it fucking matter if no one even takes the bait?

It's a bit heavy-handed, but I'm reminded of Elie Wiesel's speech about indifference and the extermination camps: to be abandoned by God is worse than to be hated by God. At least you would have an answer. How am I supposed to know if I've improved, if I'm just a hack, if I'm actually an insensitive racist bigot who produces outdated garbage not liberal enough for a diverse world, or anything in between, if I can't even get an honest insight into what makes my work click or not? Sending work to publications requires fees, and double if you actually want critique, just to meet with writers who critique based on their tastes and not on elements of logic or style. Get your foot in the door by sending money you don't have, or just meet with no one willing to tell you your work is shit or not.

They say first you have to be happy with what you write, but why would I be happy languishing in a hole of my own choosing and never knowing if you're ever getting closer to expressing, as Hemingway once said, the way to write truly?

I'm getting my degree in nursing in about 3 months with some luck (sometime next year if I don't pass all my finals) and I'm kind of fucking terrified.

Teachers tell you that when you're finally working, you'll feel useless for about 5 years until you start getting the hang of things, so I wanted to believe I was mentally prepared, but just a minimal fuck up can make your life and someone else's shit.

Just the other day, when we were in our practices, it was my turn to administer medication. Each patinent has a... not sure what the word would be in english, but lets just say "nursing chart". It has everything the patient has to get, how much of it, at what time, and how you're supposed to administer it.

So, as I went around looking at what each patient needed, I got to one I hadn't seen in my reading material yet (ranitidine comes to mind but I'm not sure that was it). I turn to the head nurse in charge of guiding us throughout the day and ask her if I just inject it into the IV as the chart said or if I have to keep something in mind.

"Oh, yeah, Anon. Just be sure to pinch the IV going into the patient for a few seconds so it can dilute with the saline solution. If you forget that, you'll kill him."

"...Okay...?"

And she said that so casually.

So, yeah. That was one big fucking wake up call. Now I cannot even think what I'm going to specialize in if I can just end someones life with a single screw up.

I think I'll just keep away from medication for a looong while as I keep studing that shit, and go for something "calmer" like... pediatrics or something.

Mentally, kinda just there. Not numb, but not really mentally well, I guess. I'm the same anon as >>8011030, and have some updates in order

I've made plans to leave, which requires saving less than I thought, since I'll be going out of state to a far cheaper cost of living area

GFs friend was diagnosed at stage 3, so it's treatable, but it'll be a rough go of it. It's still stressing my girl out, but a little less so.

Grandpa passed on the 16th, and while I thought I would be more upset about it, I'm more just at peace that he passed and isn't hurting anymore, since it got to the point that he would wake up and ask "when", referring to when he would die.

Job is still job, but it's mildly better, I guess.

Feels like I've turned a corner. A girl I used to love - an old friend who ruled my heart for years and years - came to visit me in the foreign country I now live in and I can finally say I am free of her spell. I see clearly now. Spending all this time with her has shown me rose-colored glasses covered up her crippling lack of self-esteem mixed with narcissism and vapidity that is now making for an absolute agony of a time together. She either can't or won't make conversation and I've just had enough.

It has made me so appreciative of my girlfriend, who has ten times the brain, ambition, and ass of this girl.

I moved on. Life is good and about to get much better.

It's what i did to finally get it off my system, in retrospective i shouldn't have since getting normal girls I've realized I'm much more attractive than i thought, but at the time it seemed the only chance. AT least my parents didn't suggest it, how did that happen?
I'd say go for it, maybe do like me and use it for practice, to get used to women and then try to get normal women once you're used to them.
>my HS crush died of brain cancer.
>Kinda wish it would have been me. She had a husband and kids
Well, that's fucked up but understandable, ignore those thoughts though, live your life, the world's your oyster and all that shit
>What is so bad about her past?
She simply was too much of a whore, just for about a year in which she had issues and bad influences (about 3 years ago) so she ended up hooking up with more guys than I'm comfortable with, between 15 and 20 total body count (counting more serious relationships). She acts like there's nothing wrong since she's a modern liberated woman, but it's also a time she wants to forget, hard to explain but she's been abused and bullied and i do get she wanted attention and "love"... but still sometimes it's hard to just enjoy her love and care without some intrusive thought popping in my head with ideas I'd rather not think about.
We've discussed this, she pushed me to open up about my concerns in the relationship. she wasn't happy to say the least, but after talking about it a few times we've decided to stay together and "work" on that.
I still think she's worth it, she'd be almost perfect otherwise, plus she's accepted parts of me other people wouldn't (the fact i lost my virginity last year with an escort).

I used to lurk here and /w/ a lot when I used to collect a ton of wallpapers just for the fun of it and even did some edits for people in the IMTs. It's been years since I've ever been on the site and I just came back to look for a background for a new work email I have. As some other anons have already said, it's great that this little corner of 4chan has remained the same even as the rest of it has somehow become even more retarded than it already was. Much love to everyone who keeps this place alive.

I feel trapped in life, society is full of morons and greedy bastards. I wish I hadnt wasted so much time. Instead of of getting everything I wanted I helped others get what they wanted, and consequently half my friends became artists and musicians and some have even got so many qualifications now they have loads of letters after their name. I mean I used to do things like, one guy I knew hadn't got a job and when he got a job he needed a car to do his work properly, so I just gave him my car and bought myself another, then I told another guy he had a great mind for artd I spent shitloads of time telling him he should go to university but he thought he was too stupid. Then eventually he went to university and now he has exhibitions all over Europe and even wrote a book. Thres loads of examples, but not one of them stayed in contact. Lifes shit like that

You cannot find the peace that you seek in this world, so stop seeking it here. This world is like a lobster trap, in that once you have come here it is very difficult to leave. But don't despair, and instead treat it like the test that it is. If you do this, and hold the sacred part of yourself aloof - instead of looking for a place to immerse it, as you have been doing - then you will be able to return home and find the solace that you seek.

Grandma passed away this morning and while I'm at peace with it, it hurts me to see mom tore up like she is. Mom used to be a cna and did everything she could to care for grandma but due to colon cancer, heart issues, and stuff caring for her became too much and she needed to go to a home. Mom visited every day and I'd sometimes go see her as well. I'm at peace cause she stayed in pain quite often and couldn't move well and it wasn't living at all. So I feel good that she's freed of all that at peace. It's just a strange feeling however, my family is very small as is and now all my grandparents are gone and idk it's a very strange feeling. Death is apart of life and it's to be expected but idk feel so weird and off.

I forgot that there's the issue of some of her previous relationships left her with traumas and insecurities, things that now i have to dance around not to start fights, which have started a few times, i make some innocuous comment that she takes in the worst way possible and a discussion arises... just adds another layer to how her past makes me feel. I might come off as a total asshole, but why do i have to deal with that? why do i have to have a bad time over things other men did to her and she being too stupid to start something with people like that and not leave earlier? it's just not my problem.

Earlier today she told me i was her favorite guy, she's so excited to see me tomorrow... she's still worth it i think, but that thought sometimes hangs on a thread.

Obviously the mind jumps to cancer, so I've been feeling pretty anxious. Gonna get it checked out if it's still there in 2-3 weeks, or less if anything changes. Shit's scary.

I just want someone to cuddle with and to share my life with, I feel incomplete without a partner. But I guess if I'm not happy now then I'll never be happy, according to many people who I complain about this too. I'll probably kill myself if I reach my 40s without a wife.

my PTSD is just dragging me down despite it being a year now. Ive served in two separate militaries and saw a ton of fucked-up shit in the second one, and quite honestly coming back home to my original country has sucked.

I can't adapt, I can't hold a job for more than a few months, currently all I do is chores around the house and sit in silence then lash out and break things everywhere, and pick up the pieces of my fucking mess I made as well as my fucking sanity. I hate the fact I did what I did and meant to die, and have been told once and this person was right, "You were too good of a soldier to get killed".

I shouldn't be alive, and yet I can't take any way out, not even suicide. I'm just numb now, and unemployed, and don't know what I want from life....All the vibrancy and decency I felt was true in humanity is gone, I feel life itself is a lie. That we go around pretending all our lives are fucking fine but the moment like I chirp-up about shit or get upset everyone lashes out at me, like i'm supposed to just fit RIGHT BACK IN with shit and it pisses me off, I just hate people now, I should have never came back, I had purpose, I have morals, I had cause. WTF am I now...

I laid out my path a long time ago, and I march forward toward my goal. I have lost a lot of myself as I march. My intelligence has been worn down, my voice and individuality have been crushed altogether. I barely see my friends, and most of the ones I love left a long time ago. I'm tired all of the time. But I will be damned if I let it be for nothing. I will reach my goal.

The strange thing is the obstacles in my way. I always thought of them as road blocks, inanimate objects I could push aside or opponents I could best. Those went away a long time ago. Now I'm surrounded by those trying to get everything they can from me. All they see is what I have or what I can do for them, not how much it has cost me. And they can't be brought to give even half the effort themselves.

Thank God for my best friend, he keeps them away when he can. I don't know what I'd do without him. I'd be torn apart by jackals.

I'm missing my ex girlfriend. I wonder again what would've happened if I actually talked to her about my depression getting worse rather than just pushing her away until it was safe to kill myself without hurting her so much. We loved eachother so much before breaking up.

I just saw her a few days ago at a friend's house and I swear to God I saw the same look she gave me when she loved me, we even talked for a while, and it felt the same as when we were together. I wanted to hug her so much, and she almost went for a hug on accident when she was leaving.

I don't know if this is just nostalgia or if I never truly got over her. Either way I'm almost sure it's mutual, even one of our friends in common said so umprompted to me ;/

if you still see her from time to time, maybe arrange a time and place with her so you can both meet up and sit down and have a calm relaxed adult two-way conversation away from any distractions, and don't put it off or second guess yourself because 'maybe this' or 'what if that', frankly if you're both able to be in the same place at the same time and still be friendly to each other after a break up without it simply devolving and exploding into an angry and bitter scene then it seems like maybe you both need to sit down together like reasonable adults and just talk with each other about what you had together and what went wrong and the possibility of trying again before too much more time passes.

I'm not gonna quote all your post numbers here, there's not enough character count for all that, instead to ALL of you in this thread that are struggling with something, anything, yes I know motivation can be a hard thing to find at times, but the opportunities to progress and move on with your life aren't always gonna come looking for you, sometimes you do have to get off your ass and go make or find and grab those opportunities for yourself even if you're feeling so low and drained and simply can't be assed to do anything; they say the first step to progress is the hardest, but by using your words in this thread you've already taken that first step to progress, now you need to take another, and then another.

Hopefully this film helps all of you in some way, even a little bit:

You and me both, friend
I recently took a trip with some family upstate, which is in an area that's populated enough to have neighbors nearby, but remote enough that you'd need a car or other vehicle to easily reach them, and cell service is non-existent out of the marginal emergency-only satellite service.
Getting back to where I live, I feel more and more like I belong in such a place that one has to hand-acquire things like firewood, and be mostly disconnected from tech. I love the convenience that technology provides, but I can't help but be frustrated by the spoiled nature that it caused in modern people. I'm lucky in that my job is mostly disconnected, or at least I don't have to look at a screen all day, but I come home to a dual-monitor RGB keyboard PC as well as a phone, tablet, TV, and so on.
I dunno man
I just wanna disconnect, but the way the world is makes that impossible.

I've almost made it, anons. I'm almost exactly where I want to be. Fifteen years of struggling with self-hating thoughts, wanting to kill myself at times, and those thoughts are finally gone. Stopped eating like shit, stopped telling myself I was gonna work out again and started doing it and staying consistent. Quit horrible, low-paying jobs that I hated going into and felt like I had to be there because I needed the money when I realized I could just get on unemployment or find another job. Stopped doing shit that I felt like I had to do because it's what others expected of me. Finally started telling people to fuck off when I got fed up with them. Landed a job that pays well. Got promoted after busting my ass and now I get paid to do fucking nothing all day and don't have to worry about injuries or stress. Stopped giving a fuck about if people know that I'm a borderline retarded autist. Cut off horrible friends who treated me badly. Stopped worrying about what happens after death. Stopped lamenting over lost time and realized I learned something from it all. Met a hot Caribbean girl. Had a small, fun wedding. Almost closing on a small, but perfect house. Finally spending time with my family again, finally having fun with my hobbies again instead of sitting around all day doing nothing and worrying about everything. Almost ready to be a dad. Ready to see where everything leads until it's time to go.

I'm so glad I never gave up.

I want to leave but my promise to my wife that I'll always provide a roof over her head unlike her father did, yet our savings have dwindled from about 25k to 10k in 8 months.

Idk, I never post here (4chan) I don't even know it it will go through, but it felt right to post.

Stay strong anons.

Stay strong indeed. A cat (or any pet) is a burden, you're right. But the actual maintenance involved with them is little. I have been using paper pellet litter for years. It's dust-free, they don't track it everywhere like regular old Tidy Cat, and it doesn't get stuck between their paw pads and toes when wet. I will never go back to clay litter. Food is an expense too of course, and I would never feed a cat slop like Meow Mix. If you feel you can't shoulder the burden of being able to buy him quality food ($40-$50 per 12 pound bag for something like Blue Buffalo Wilderness as an example), then the responsible thing is to do as you have done and let him go to a home that is able to carry the burdens that come with him.

Keep going, pal. The WW3 is overblown. Life is hard now but it's always been hard, and in many ways it's easier than previously, what with all the advancements that have been made in technology and medicine. You will make it. We all will.

I was just about to post a whole rant on my procrastination and the metric fuck ton of missing assignments that are causing my grades to drop and giving me loads of stress. Then, while I was reading over it, I realized I'm being a massive bitch about the whole thing and started working on my missing literature assignments. Almost done with the first one - I'm hoping it isn't too late to bring these grades back up, I've got one A and the rest are C's so I'm hoping for at least B's right now. Wish me luck, I'm just going to grind through as much of it as I can in the next week before Thanksgiving rolls around. Reading some of the stories in here has given me to motivation to start doing some work for once, so thanks guys, hope all is well with you.

Turning 25 tomorrow, and I'm stuck between wanting to not spend it with anyone and actually doing something.

Not that I'm in a bad place necessarily, but sometimes I feel incredibly hungry for time alone, even if it seems like a really antisocial action to other people.

Sometimes, I'm fine with hanging out with people, but I rarely get that same boost of feeling people might, so it's hard for me most of the time to figure out if it's worth it or not.

Maybe I just need to do my workout today.

I'm trying (and failing? but maybe not) to really change my outlook on life. I feel like I'm too negative too often. I'm also realizing I've put far too little priority on my personal relationships, and that's finally biting me. I'm trying to take the right steps to fix some of those things, but there's this hanging sense of uncertainty of whether or not I'm doing the right things.

I'm not sure this post makes a lot of sense, but that's about par for the course for my thoughts recently.

I got my degree in engineering which was one of the hardest things I have ever done, I got a good job that I love, I work with great people who I am lucky enough to call my friends and hang outside of work with, I got into something called bouldering which really inspired me to finally commit to losing weight and have lost ~15kg so far, reduced my alcohol consumption significantly, reduced porn consumption significantly, started eating better and living a better life on the whole.
my mental health is still shit. some days I feel amazing, other days I feel like I am in such a pit. a lot of it stems from the fact that as im getting older (nearing mid 20s), I haven't been with a girl or had experience in that field and it makes me feel like less of a man, like I got left behind. I've been making strides in becoming better, but some days it really grinds me down. it might sound silly to other anons, and hopefully I can look back on this period of my life like I have done with other periods of doubt and anxiety and realise I had nothing to worry about, I was being such a fucking idiot, but until I can experience that and feel it emotionally and not just think it rationally, I am going to continue like this

Congratulations on the degree. Being in a job you love can really boost the career. As for the woman thing, as I understand it's getting a bit harder for young people to break into a serious relationship these days. Used to be people would be losing their virginity way early. Pros and cons to each, but you aren't doing anything wrong. Just part of the culture shift I suppose. You're young! You've got your whole life to work on that, and on everything else. Be a bit more social if you have the time for it. Remember, life is a process. You don't have to hit "milestones" at a certain time, or even at all depending. Keep at it, pal. And keep me updated - reach out if I can help.

I'm in the midst of falling in love. She's a treasure, but things are kind of strange and difficult. She's got so many mental problems to work through on top of being chronically ill, it all means I can't go see her very often.
She keeps talking about moving away too, and I know she'd probably be better off living somewhere else. I'm torn between asking her to stay with me and letting her go off to better places. I have time to think still because that won't be for a while yet, but the thought of losing her to that is still really terrifying.
I really wish I could see her more

Together for 8 years, married 2. Lost friends I've had for over 15 years over it. She moved out and took everything without me - stole family heirlooms etc. Spread lies about me to family and friends.

Nasty stuff. Been as positive and kind as I can through it all.

Just got back from a solo trip to Japan feeling like I just woke up from it all. Not sure how to describe the cloud I was in. Talking biting the barrel of a gun head space before I left.

You will make mistakes. That is a rule. The difference in good bonds and bad ones is the reaction to adversity, differences, and mistakes. I learned in therapy that fucking up is unavoidable, but that people who do their best and stay trying their best around you are the ones worth keeping and nurturing. It’s the same with dads. Dads who are flawed but insist on being their best selves and trying to do better by their people are preferable to “almost perfect” beings. It helps a lot to try and let your own ego and love of yourself and the “objects” (in the philosophical/psychological sense) that surround you go.

Getting my associates at community college has been my biggest regret in life because I listened to my mother since shes always right. I have literally only 3 people in my family so I trust their opinion but it has fucked me up by making me go for classes I originally needed in uni. I transfered to uni in a degree I love but our whole department has been screwed over due to a new advisor telling everyone in my small undergrad class the wrong info so were all stuck doing an extra semester for 5 credits. I am now supposed to grad in 2025. By then I have been in school for 6 years and I just want to be done now.
Financial aid is running out, I have no money, can only work 2 days a week, I met someone 1500 miles away who I know I’m going to marry and but only see 4 times a year, can’t land an internship, 22 and feel like a loser. I know I shouldn’t due to high grades and “doing everything right” and have a lot of hobbies, but I haven’t made one friend this whole time and just feel empty. I take like 17 credits a sem and just feel stuck. I don’t know what to do to feel better.
Honestly thinking of going to Utah and getting so much plastic surgery that I am a totally new person. I wish I was given the same blessed opportunities as my peers like a well-off family and a support system and I know thats not something I can change but I just wish someone was there for me like the others. At least I am absolutely guaranteed a job as soon as I get out but damn I want happiness now, I’ve never had peace.

I feel like my "best" friend over the past 8 years is an "npc" now. I don't like using that acronym to describe people I love, and I may be taking things the wrong way, but he just seems different. Maybe I never noticed that he was this way, but his response to me dealing with trauma this year was dismissive at best, and it felt straight up rude. It put a lot of things into perspective. As of recent, when I try to engage in deep discussion with him, he just seems to reply in short statements. We are still able to have good conversations, but I feel like something is just different. Idk. I have became friends with some of his friends recently, and we are capable of having an actual deep dialogue. It is like they are actually able to put effort into their responses, and I can have a passionate discussion with them. I love him, but he just seems off. I hope he isn't acting like this because of something that I did, and I really hope that this is just some sort of phase. He is literally one of the coolest people that I have met, but he just seems different these past couple of years. I am turning 30 soon, and maybe I am having different expectations in what I think a healthy conversation is now, and perhaps I am failing to realize that he was always like this. Idk bros. I am scared that he doesn't value our connection the way that I do. He is literally the only friend that I have been in communication with more than 5+ years, and I hope we are friends for life. Perhaps I am just a dramatic faggot.

It's worth caring about others because that's the only way we can push back against the endless torrent of shit and suffering.

Try to keep in mind that you aren't perfect either, and that other people have to make an effort to put up with you, just like you have to make an effort to put up with them.
