Is Jow Forums populated with overconfident losers who act like crabs in the bucket...

you're still an atheist right

It's basically like borrowing money, only you never have to return it either way.

>is Jow Forums populated with overconfident losers
Yes, for the most part.
>who act like crabs in the bucket
That depends on how sensitive you are.
>who know jackshit
Anyone who claims to know anything is full of shit, stop fooling yourself into believing otherwise just because the garbage you consume comes from the mainstream media.
>yet still give advice?
What makes advice from (((professionals))) any more reliable?
>how do I escape this hell
alt+f4
>I don't want to be here
Nobody wants you here either, you're irrelevant.
>but I'm hooked
So there must be )))something((( here compelling enough, that it isn't (((curated))) and (((approved))), that keeps making you com back, isn't it?

I am, but a part of me wishes I wasn't--I've come to understand that human's have a psychological need for religion, for a higher power, and without it a core part of their psyche is broken.

Oy vey! You are not supposed to tell the goy he can leave!

what are you borrowing? you're still the same asshole, the same kind of twat, just with more motivation to do stupid shit because you haven't actually considered using your realism to make reasonable plans and move forward; you chose to delude yourself instead and in thirty years or so your kids (luckily you won't have any) will hate you for lying to them and fucking them up with your bullshit

>Anyone who claims to know anything is full of shit
You're living in clouds then, good luck trying to figure out anything on your own.
>What makes advice from (((professionals))) any more reliable?
You're begging too many questions
>you're irrelevant.
what makes you relevant enough to claim that

yes and you're too much of a stupid faggot to choose the path that makes sense. instead you choose exactly what will ruin your life

> just with more motivation to do stupid shit
Which is like 25% already. If you actually go on and do something, you moved further forward than some fag who makes plans after plans and then adjusts them for muh realism.

That's some extreme mental gymnastics to justify your own need for stronk sky daddy.

>>>/reddit/
You're in the wrong website.

you weren't making any plans, you were just confronting the facts, became sad and thought "well maybe living like an ant isn't so bad after all, what can go wrong?"

Oh it already has, irredeemably so. I need to get back to church, but while that's on the to-do list it also seems a bit much like a "can't put the genie back in the bottle" scenario.

I'm still not religious, this is from a philosophical approach. Religion is needed for the human mind to be whole, without it you attempt to fill the gap with something else (whether it be religious or not) and that ends up being destructive.

you're too much up your own ass to see that not everyone, who disagrees with your viewpoint, came from Reddit. You're like six years old, stop pretending to be an oldfag

No i read books all the time

Sad losers make plans about improving their situation pretty often actually.

What is supposed to be more destructive than belief in one of the more common religions?

Read the small catechism of Martin Luther. You don't need a church. Not nowadays. You need Christ, you need knowledge, you need clarity. Going to some official event where you meet indifferent people, listening to useless homosexual preachers and singing some feelgood lyrics won't help you for shit. If you know any church that doesn't do that and isn't stuck in the middle ages, tell me about it.

No they don't. Sad losers don't often make reasonable plans. You're one of these people with meme education, trying hard to sound smug and hardcore while talking shit to people making sense of life. Your life is meaningless to you and you'd rather succumb to Islam than fix the status quo. Don't tell me bullshit like
>Oh I have meaning. I want to live a decent life
You're likely a vapid hypocrite with no depth whatsoever. Talk shit at r/atheism instead.

>more destructive than belief
The rejection of traditions that bind people together, resulting in a self-inflicted feeling of alienation that seeps into your brain and poisons you against interactions with anyone under the guise of "superiority".
Meanwhile the need for those traditions manifests in an over-reliance of vices. Games, drugs, pornography, especially as adolescence kicks in and the need for those social groups to further your development becomes apparent, and its absence causes the negative effects to magnify.
The church is more for meeting people than anything. If they're indifferent and I feel I can't gain any connections I'll move on, but as it stands I have no personal connections in my area, not even family, and I have no skills to acquire them. A setting like a church may help, and if not it's still more than the nothing I'm doing now.

That's quite the projection, user.

>You're one of these people with meme education
Pretty sure I dropped out before getting that far.
>trying hard to sound smug and hardcore while talking shit to people making sense of life
Pointing out obvious flaws and lazy cliches is being hardcore now?
>Your life is meaningless to you
I mean, yes and no. It's inherently meaningless but it's pretty fun, hence it clearly has some subjective meaning.
>you'd rather succumb to Islam than fix the status quo
Not a big fan of sky wizards. What's the supposed status quo you want me to fix?
>Oh I have meaning. I want to live a decent life
Now that's almost hurtful. What kind of faggot would wish for something so plain. I'm cool with vapid hypocrite, and not too certain about muh depth but I don't want a decent life. That shit is lame.

but back on topic
>Sad losers don't often make reasonable plans.
Why yes they do. Making reasonable plans doesn't take much, unless you're totally depressed or totally idiotic, and most people just aren't. Putting plans into action is where most people fail; which makes perfect sense if you think about it for a fucking second. Take quitting smoking: Do you need to be a genius to come up with a way to do it? Or would you rather benefit from the confidence that you can pull it off, no matter how unlikely it actually is and just give it a try.

>in a self-inflicted feeling of alienation
That's just capitlism. Hardly self-inflicted.

>capitalism is the reason for your issues!
Fuck off, Karl.

>Making reasonable plans doesn't take much, unless you're totally depressed or totally idiotic, and most people just aren't.
Oh alright
>Putting plans into action is where most people fail
Doesn't seem like they made good plans. Doesn't seem like they're emotionally adjusted or clever either.
>It's inherently meaningless
Yes if you don't care about anything mildly important and walk around with no path in life, if you're that kind of guy who wasn't initiated into any kind of secret, yet thinks he's figured it all out; then it makes sense to think that YOUR life is meaningless.

also
>Not a big fan of sky wizards. What's the supposed status quo you want me to fix?
You're a lazy shithead with no clue about in what kind of a batshit crazy and devolving environment you're living in. "Skydaddies" kek, neat of you to mock natural belief systems with obvious perks

>Doesn't seem like they made good plans.
They could have the most impossibly perfect plan ever, together with a cute, coloured checklist too. Without the will and confidence to go through, it won't do shit.
>Doesn't seem like they're emotionally adjusted or clever either.
If they were emotionally adjusted, they wouldn't be in their fucking situation.
>then it makes sense to think that YOUR life is meaningless
Again, subjectively it obviously isn't. From a wider perspective, more likely than not, any life is meaningless. Why is the differentiation so hard for you?

>what kind of a batshit crazy and devolving environment you're living in
Feel free to reveal it instead of talking in lazy platitudes.
>natural belief systems
Surely if it were natural, we wouldn't have this conversation about it.
>with obvious perks
Definitely not for me, friendo.

Try the beta cucks at reddit

>Without the will and confidence to go through, it won't do shit.
Even behind that there is a plan
>Again, subjectively it obviously isn't meaningless
All you talk about is how you live your life, based on the notion that it's about your fun and nothing else. "Fun" doesn't constitute meaning. Why can't you just admit that you're just another dumbass on a bad path and no future?

*with
I'm wasting my time debating one rn

>Even behind that there is a plan
Which won't go anywhere if you're stuck in the sadness mode.
>"Fun" doesn't constitute meaning.
What could be possibly more meaningful than enjoying every breath? If you don't, what's even the point of being alive?

Hahahahahahahaha How The Fuck Is Jow Forums Addiction Real Hahahaha Nigga Just Walk Away From The Screen Like Nigga Close Your Eyes Haha

very funny meme, I clapped. but seriously, a good post. at least you're not trying to be a dumb shit.

Tell me what God did on the last day of creation.
>Life is about FUN HAHA
dumbass, escapism isn't enjoyment

Yet here you are. What keeps you from leaving this play and what hooked you about it? I think the best way to do such a thing is to have or find a group of friends and/or people that you can discuss various shit and have a blast with and just stop coming here. Join interest groups or whatever or fill your schedule with something more productive, just don't come here and you'll already be a step closer to where the fuck you wanna go to. You feel me?

>taking life advice from an angsty sperg who gets insecure when people don't worthship him
No wonder, you hate fun. Then again, why do you even bother staying alive if you don't enjoy it?

Fun is hollow meaning. What does it add, what does it contribute? What is it other than pointless self-indulgence that leads you nowhere and will destroy you if not tempered.
I spent m adolescence indulging in fun, I regret every minute of it now because as an adult I have nothing to add.
You fucking "live for the moment" faggots disgust me. Live for the tomorrow you build.

>Fun is hollow meaning. What does it add, what does it contribute?
Your life sounds really sad, user. I’d tell you that I hope you’re enjoying it regardless, but fun seems to be for fags according to you

Everyone needs time to unwind user. If you enjoy working yourself to death go ahead. A lot of people I know did the same thing and ended up losing one way or another.

>What does it add, what does it contribute?
I know it sounds crazy but ... it adds fun and contributes to my enjoyment of the little time we have left.
>pointless self-indulgence
Quite the oxymoron.
>leads you nowhere
It leads to more fun. It's a self-sustaining loop.
>will destroy you if not tempered
Pretty sure life will do it in a few more decades too, might as well enjoy it.
>I regret every minute of it now because as an adult I have nothing to add.
Finally something interesting. Add what?
>Live for the tomorrow you build.
One hardly conflicts with the other. If you don't enjoy the process of building, you won't enjoy the result for long either.

don't bother. just tell me a way out of this place, I don't want to be surrounded by losers who define themselves with hedonism

>What keeps you from leaving this play and what hooked you about it?
Good memories from a couple of years ago, when I was a freshman. I turned a fraction of users on Jow Forums into a bunch of retards who drink raw onionjuice for testosterone gains. Time was fun here back then, great ideas, good discussions and good memes. Sadly after Bitcoin bags were sold, many of the old people left. Now I'm stuck with retards and faggots who didn't achieve anything and do not even desire to become something desirable.

Yes, I'm sure your 2 weeks here have been very exciting and now you're totally here forever

Well, times have changed and for the worse so flee the ship and find people like that irl. Stockholm's keeping you and you need to kick the habbit or else you're gonna become a dopefiend if you already aren't.

also I've met some interesting girls here too, some guys to chat with and we had very deep conversations, in part about secretive shit, with lodge members and the like, something I've sought after IRL. sadly as an adult you're not as able to converse with people on a deeper level that much and finding legit friends is pretty difficult with ADHD. I wish I could turn back time

why the Stockholm syndrome though wdym

You have a lot of good memories that are keeping you from leaving. It's not textbook Stockholm, but I consider such behavior to be in accordance with it. Jow Forums is your captor and you convinced yourself that it ain't as bad as you originally thought, but that's not how things truly are.

I see, now it makes sense

>how do I escape this hell
you dont, youre here forever
enjoy

you can start by not posting garbage

Don't visit any boards but /an/

No, don't visit any boards all. Period.

I have added no works to the world, no legacy, no children to carry on my name, no loved once aside from those who are genetically programmed to love me.
If you don't enjoy the process of building, you get over it and build anyway so you can leave behind something other than some vague recollection of "that dude was fun".
Yes, everyone needs to unwind, but when you live ONLY to unwind you are just circling a drain to nothingness. You can't live in your vices forever.
I'm sad now because I wasted my youth, and still waste my time now, living for fun. I have nothing because of it.
Stop coming here. If you have a laptop, dedicate yourself to not opening it. If you feel like you're going to try and open it, go take a shower or something.

Youth is wasted on the young.

But not every youth wasted their time as pitifully as others. Some come into their mid twenties with friends, lovers, maybe even family. I don't even have the social skills needed to get a one of those.

>so you can leave behind something
What for? There is zero gain in any of the shit if you don't enjoy the process. Even if we ignore how pointless is to care about what people will think about you when it's over, "that dude who was called Smith or something" hardly sounds better than "that dude was fun".

Besides, again, there is zero conflict between working towards something larger than yourself and having fun; since the former is pretty damn enjoyable. Take the fun away and you've just mindfucked yourself into following some sisyphean task for the sake of it.

>is Jow Forums populated with overconfident losers who act like crabs in the bucket
Yes.

Do you know what else is filled with such people?

Literally everything.

It's human nature. Learn to pick out the good advice, and try to minimise the subconscious effect the losers have on you.

>woe is me
no wonder you're such a wimp
