If there's any anons here that has successfully turned their life around in this fucking forsaken life please share...

I did. I actually dumped a bunch of lj entries (i know) on here that detailed jumping through hoops for treatment last night. It took about 6 years for me to get on the right meds and get a decent job. My life has been a lot better since.

Good luck everyone. It's weird to look back and realize how bad it was.

Antidepressants? Im finally about to take the plunge. Sick of being so sad.

You haven't turned around anything though, you compare to people on Jow Forums, won't ditch the trip and need the constant stream of validation you get from (You)s. You're not anywhere further ahead or behind, you're in the exact same place you've been for years and years by design, as proven by being the kind of person at your age to post music with advice. Fantastic, what's next, Bee Urself? Girls love guys who hold the door open?

Listen, man, you're not stuck here because you're a good person. Drop that act and admit you're here with the indolent rest of us, man. That's why you're on Jow Forums.
Don't pull this "I'm above it" act. If you were, even slightly, you wouldn't be here, much less with a tripcode, defending that tripcode, while providing basically just a bunch of vague anecdotes that are seriously undermined by the fact that you're kind of the epitome of what most people hate here-- narcissistic, self-absorbed and constantly ensured of their correctness, even though you get repeatedly asked to step back from your ego.

And until you learn how to do that, you haven't turned anything around. You'll be in the same place you've been locked in the moment you told yourself you weren't a narcissist. It's sad, because we had this conversation before and almost got somewhere. Almost.

I just don't understand your kind. I couldn't imagine what it's like to be so self-absorbed as you are. And the best part is, you'll never change, not so long as you're here.
The only one who's not aware of that is you; literally everyone else seems to have a handle on this.

He's actually far below us anons.
He unironically made a 200+ word infographic about us not liking him.
Not even an average 4channer would do that.

Holy fuck tripfags are sad lol

Imagine making that about yourself and saying all that about yourself. All because of some anonymous on the internet.

And he's a narcissistic women beating pedophile as well!

2007 newfag here and not everyone who posts here is a massive permanent failure. Newfags like to ree and post frogs at "normies" but early Jow Forums was a mix of yes the fully autistic but also just some otherwise fairly regular dudes who were into anime or internet culture.

At my lowest: I was a full-blown hikikomori shut-in. Like a living stereotype of what a r9k poster is like I was pissing in bottles and sleeping until like 1PM, just a fat piece of shit who would post like 16 hours a day and get into screaming arguments with his well-meaning and infinitely patient parents. It had been years since I had a job and even longer since I was in any sort of school. The sad thing is before that I was in school and had friends and a girlfriend and worked a job and everything.

Now: no longer a shut-in, on good term with my parents, no longer a NEET either I'm working again and saving up to go back to uni, not fat anymore just a bit of a belly still but I lost a ton of weight. I only post here or engage in truely time-wasting acitivites for maybe a couple of hours a day. My sleep schedule got pulled back by like 4 hours so it's relatively more normal even if I'm more of a night person I'm able to function and get up early when I have to.

What ruined my life? Unironically Jow Forums. I was at the top of my game before Jow Forums and then it all went slowly but surely downhill when I git into it. Some other things that happened over the years but really Jow Forums and shitposting culture is what got me the most.

How did I get my shit back together? I started with just going for walks at night in the summer, and soon enough I was running and lifting and always anxious to get out of the house. I got a job just so I wouldn't have to hear my parents tell me to get a job anymore and also cause I was sick of the NEET life and wanted to move on. marie Kondo's books helped me a ton as well.

Literally the lowest common denominator amongst dregs of society.

I'm rich, successful, and good with women. My life includes wholesome hobbies. I expatriated the USA for Europe and learned 2 languages. I overcame a awful childhood and manage autism and my weaknesses very well.

What more can you ask for ? :P

One day in the future, you'll understand me. If I was in my early twenties, reading posts like mine now, I wouldn't have a clue what I was doing. But anyway I'm here to help and contribute.

and YOU guys... are just jealous piranhas nipping away at my success. Keep biting losers, there's plenty of me to go around.

Madness.

People doing well might drop by once in a while. As user said, they’re most likely not hanging around Jow Forums all day. Most people have something bad going on, though, because that’s just a fact of life. I guess a good portion of people’s issues here are extended adolescence (or literal adolescence), and that they’ll eventually outgrow them, though they won’t get back the years they lost. Then there’s the people who are completely autismal, or just unlucky, who for whatever reason don’t relate to the people around them and will always come back to Jow Forums.

If you want to know from us about how to turn your life around, you might have to name what the issues in your life are. As you name them, you might realize you actually know how to address them, but some kind of deficit is preventing you from doing so. That, or you could be a delusionalfag, in which case good luck.

>What more can you ask for
Not beating women, maybe. Not wanting to fuck little girls is an idea. Killing yourself, perhaps.

>Keep biting losers, there's plenty of me to go around.
You would like to get bitten, you faggot.

Literally why do you post with a tripcode, and then complain that people "follow you in threads" and complain about all the attention that you get?

You don't want people screencapping old posts? You want people to take you seriously? You don't want to derail every thread you post in and make it about yourself?

Take off the tripcode man. This isn't redddit so there's no need to post wth a username this is a anonymous message board. Why are you doing this to yourself and everyone

>massive permanent failure
No, but like everyone on here even you aren't immune to conducting your arguments with sweeping hyperbole aimed at dismissing an entire subset of people (IE: 'if you're on here, you're flawed' as a platform)

It's not that everyone here is a massive permanent failure, it's that being here is usually a sign of having a lot more than 'just one or two things' in common with people who are, indeed, massive permanent failures. You have the breadcrumbs of, the makings of, the beginnings of. Justifying your place here, trying to defend Jow Forums, trying to bring honor to its name-- that's the blueprint for being a massive failure. You have to realize that by a lot of proxies of its rules, Jow Forums is by and far one of the worst places to conduct any kind of anything other than shitposting, which is a minor vent of frustration at best. You can sit here day after day and hope to find something amazing but in the end, what's here on Jow Forums and here to stay is this; You'll get people telling you THEY did it, people telling you they're better and above standards and reason and logic. They don't care; nobody here does. It's fucking Jow Forums. We're here to shitpost because anything else just gets derailed or lasts for a few posts.

Nobody's saying Jow Forums makes you awful or that you're a failure for being here. But if you're here and you think you're somehow not at least damaged goods, there's a very high probability to the tune of 95% or so that you're just ignoring the reality of the situation, IE telling yourself that you've got it made while still comparing to people on Jow Forums. On Jow Forums, mind you.

This is where failure goes. When we see people making sweeping statements about their success, well-- we kind of have to ask why they're here, then. You know?

Is not being a pedophile too much to ask for?

>complain about the attention
You ever seen a woman go "ugh why are guys always about sex" and then offer to blow them in a parking lot outside a nightclub?

Yeah. Same car, different gear.

>take off the tripcode
Jow Forums has been around for a lot longer than I've been on it and I've never seen a tripfag that isn't so self-absorbed as to ardently defend the tripcode. I'm convinced they'd do it with a gun to their head, although I'm not about to test since I don't want to catch their 'tism. Who knows if their shit is contagious? I ain't 'boutta guinea pig for that.

>I’m rich
Pics or it didn’t happen. Are you new here? Only autism would explain why a rich, successful man would behave like you do on these forums.

>all those words

no one is perfect, not even your "chads" and "normies". Jow Forums also isn't the internet's secret clubhouse and it really never as. There's loads of different people here that are married and have regular careers and whatever else.

14 isn’t a child.

legally? hell yeah that's a child

>ignores what I said
And all of those people here are damaged goods, that's why they're here. They'd be on Reddit otherwise
>inb4 "I'M NOT DAMAGED" from a bunch of 4channers
I hope people are aware of why they're not deeply convincing, lol
The amount of "Jow Forums IS TOTALLY NORMAL" happening in this thread is a bit alarming

But hey, whatever kool-aid keeps you goin', you know?

Right, but a 14 y/o could be hot is normal, even though it’s taboo to say. It’s clear Peanut was just typing under the influence of drugs, and isn’t actually hanging outside middle schools with a paper bag that has “Fortnite” written on the side of it in marker ink.

Holy shit, and here I was thinking that the guy in General with the manga picture was just memeing and joking.

You know that people can post on more than just one website? Also a lot of people on redddit are way worse off than some people who post on Jow Forums.

>The amount of "Jow Forums IS TOTALLY NORMAL" happening in this thread is a bit alarming

Normies get out, right? Normies have been here since day one.

Depends what you mean by turned their life around.

I was a virgin NEET at 21 still living with my mom, and am now 27 living on my own and not a virgin with a good career. But life has still shit pretty hard on me

Have you ever seen his other replies? I'm pretty sure he would.
The guy literally says that it's your fault if you get cheated on and that you should thank the guy your partner cheated on you with.

>Peanut was just typing under the influence of drugs
I have been guilty of this more than once ^^"

Add junkie to the list then

Also love how you just waited for an opportunity to get yourself out of it by any means and defend yourself.
Pretty pathetic desu.

Yeah it's fine to look at a girl walking down the street and booty short and being like "yeah she has a nice ass" even though you don't know how old she is really

but that tripfag is being extra weird and pedo with it, talking about how she's a virgin and she's into art and he admires her? That's some next level shit

>tripfag says volatile, inflammatory things to get attention
There's a first time for everything!
>normies get out
It's more like "if you're here and think you're a normie, you're swilling the kool-aid"
But like I said: you keep doing you.
The internet is serious business, Anonymous.

And manipulative

>It's more like "if you're here and think you're a normie, you're swilling the kool-aid"

By the definition of the people who use that term, I am a normie.

I don't know why you're so hell-bent on trying to argue that anyone and everyone who comes on Jow Forums just to post anonymously is also some sort of "damaged goods" with severe emotional or psychological problems and they can't possibly have a normal life outside of this vietnamese cave painting newspaper.

I believe that's what the psychology students call "projection".

Peanut Butter is a child in his mind. And being around youthful people is refreshing, honestly. You would really prefer a woman who is stressed and jaded by modern adult life, if you could be with say, a cheerleader or alt high school girl? I mean, 35+ women are unrivaled in their own way, but let’s be real.

>You would really prefer a woman who is stressed and jaded by modern adult life, if you could be with say, a cheerleader or alt high school girl?

I've been with high school girls man, I can understand wanting to hook up with them but to be like OH YES WHAT A PURE-BRED VIRGIN ARYAN SHE IS :P SHE IS SO SMART AND CAPTIVATING :P is fucking weird as hell man

they're 14, they talk about homework and think they're the first people on the planet to discover The Beatles or whatever. Once you get to be close to your 30s you really shouldn't be trying to be in a relationship with someone half your age.

The story isn't worth righting, but after years of anti-depressants and being an insomniac I just sat quietly in my bathroom after I hit what Carl Jung calls "the dark night of the soul". Then I realized that life is how we look at it and how we look at it is what we'll see it as.

When modernism was the trend, near the beginning of the 20th century, the established view of the world in the west was myopic. That everyone on earth is a bug trapped within the grinding gears of the universe that was built rust and wither; with no future other than to be chewed up and cast away. "The world doesn't care about you" was its motto.

All I did was learn how to look at life differently. When I did I found myself not just content, but happy and without regret about anything I had done. I didn't pity or dislike anything about myself anymore. Nothing in my life changed or anything, I just saw it from a different perspective.

sorry writing*

I would NUT dude. Being with a girl in high school was euphoric

Grown women remind me of myself. They’re practically men, because they’re put through the same bureacratic bullshit and economic realities all of us are. They’ve had almost all the same epiphanies too. Adult life leaves people like squeezed-out toothpaste tubes, which can be hot in its own right, but you know.

Did you forget when you first discovered The Beatles? Or more importantly, how much better all music sounded?

Sure, but I would hate to be dating a child who is like OH MY GOD HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF NIRVANA THEY ARE SOOO GOOD or whatever other entry-level band they just discovered it would be annoying

I’d love it, honestly. Maybe that’s why I want to have kids. I certainly don’t want to listen to Nirvana, but it would be good to breathe new life into my existence somehow, and into everyone else’s. It can’t all be sober, wither and die shit, like said.

>tripfag defending tripfag
Need I say more

Idk if i count as someone that turned his life around, desu

Graduated from HS 3 years ago at 17, went full NEET because my family (single mom + 1lil bro) was broke as fuck and i didn't applied to my local public uni, tried to kill myself 3 times because i felt lonely and shitty seeing all of my friends doing something with their lives and getting away from me

Then i turned 18, got a well paid job at a local call center because my english was pretty decent (Mind you, spanish is my main language) supported my family until we were in a pretty stable place, then mom got a new job, so we saved up for a new car, i was 19 at this point, then i kept working to buy vidya, computer parts, clothes, stuff that i always wanted to have, made several friends, hell i even got to meet a couple of girls (However, i never got into anything serious with them) i turned 20 a couple of months ago and i already left my job because i'm starting uni in a couple of days, so i'm actually pretty fucking excited about that

>tripfag defends a tripfag
total shocker, two narcissists are in it together
what a wild show
who could predict

Once a tripfag, always a tripfag. That's why you're here and not out there

"Turned their life around" is relative, but – I did manage to go from being directionless and self-loathing to reasonably goal-directed and emotionally independent following experiences I had while in the Peace Corps. I'm still way behind the curve when it comes to not being a loser, but I do feel like I aged about a decade during those two years (in a good way).

unless they found the truth and came back to share it with the people he knows dont hear it here

i used to be a shitposter and neet. id lived in lasciviousness and appeasement of the flesh. id found a bible one day and read the teachings of the Lord, Jesus Christ, and the nature of realities as testified to by the bible. the bible promised many things for this life, and the eternal life to come. i would implore you to read the new testament, as by the grace and forgiveness of the Lord, promised in the scriptures, i know those scriptures are true

John 14:6 ESV
6] Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
