Hello, Jow Forums

As I am not too familiar with Jow Forums's culture, I have a strong concern that this place reeks of nihilism. It's a poison that you should stay away from. Believe me there is more to life than you know, and listening to a professional rather than people here would do you good.

>life sucks
>become nihilistic
>hey dont worry you can spend an extra 150+/week and I can help you out

Yeah get fucked.

Where do you go where it's $150? I have shitty insurance and my psychiatrist appointments are only a $30 copay

I am this guy: and I basically come here to shitpost and have some good laughs. Occasionally I try to help people, when possible.

I don't think a lot of people take this place seriously or are even serious when here. The sheer amount of

>tfw no gf
>tfw neet

Makes it all the less believable too.
Of course a lot of people here have problems, but they probably aren't as serious or critical as presented.

I doubt anyone here is starving to death or raping babies in their sex dungeon.

But I agree. This place is toxic to the mind if you take it seriously.

Have you confronted your mother about it?

I want the finer things in life. Just a decent middle class lifestyle. I'd even be happy living in a really nice trailer.

But I'm poor. I can't find a job, and I don't know how to hustle because I have anxiety tells me that hard work or working towards a passion is a mistake. I struggle to brush my teeth or maintain basic hygiene. I'm 40K in debt from school and I'm not even done with my curriculum. I'm in a relationship, but his family is just as poor as mine. He works a minimum wage job, and we're living in his parents house which is a rat infested shithole. He's OK with this way of life, but I'm scared because I don't want to end up like his parents.

I guess what I'm saying is I see my world crashing down around me if I'm not smart in the next 15 years. But I don't know how to help myself right now. It's not about me looking down on anyone because I accept that I'm no prize right now. But I need to know how to save myself, because my boyfriend has no problems living like his parents or even getting a place of our own. I feel like if I finally get a job, he's still going to tell me that we should live at his parents house indefinitely.

I have a tendency to avoid people, specifically those I don't know (but this has extended to acquaintances lately) and I have a lot of weird habits.

>wearing my jackets' collar high
>not looking at people on the street, voluntarily
>avoid crowded spaces (college corridor, for instance)

I also get bouts of extreme sadness and feelings of underachievement sometimes, which usually ends either with me crying or finding something to occupy my mind until it passes.

I was bullied in school, which probably led me to feel some sort of shame around people too.

Am I retarded or something? What would you suggest?

Did your therapist happen to be Carl Jung?

I try to help anons that have it bad, most of the shitpost on R9K is just jokes tho.
Tbh you cannot help these people doc, they don't want help, they are so deep inside their own complexes that they believe they deserve to suffer and so they search for that suffering.
Either that or they come here to see people that have it worse so they might feel a little better about themselves.

This place aint so bad thought, I used to have depression and I came here to feel better, now I have taken control of my life and I'm not depressed anymore.

No, but definitely inspired.
I did kind of enjoy the therapist's hippy vibes for a while just because it was different, but now it's just like a giant fucking joke. Even tried to pass along the "soul has a weight" bullshit that's been disproven.

>psychologist
>Why won't you come visit me?
I'm sorry OP, but it's because it is useless. I've gone to half a different psychologists in my life because my parents started sending me to them when I was 8. It never helped, not even when I wanted it too. All I was getting was an expensive, awkward conversation with a stranger. I'm sure you guys can help people with small issues like "I'm scared of flying" or "should I leave my wife?", but in my experience, you can't really help much with actual mental illnesses. It's like going to a prostitute when what you really want/need is to feel loved.

desu if you want to actually help people, become a psychiatrist and don't make it too hard for them to get the drugs they need to function

This sounds like a mess and I'm sorry. I will come back to you, but I need a bit of time to formulate my response as I am not a native English speaker.

I used to think it was all shits and giggles until I saw them parading with pepe flags and shit.
Degenerates are real and while there are people here that just vent and shitpost, there are others who are dead serious. The angsty teens are the most vulnerable to the brainwashing.

because I dont really care about being happy anymore. Or healthy, whatever. I have given up on relationships with other people. It is clear that unless you are megachad, if you are even able to build relationships you get screwed out of them anyways. I dont really want to get old, and see my body and my mind decay around me. My current plan is to work my ass off and save enough money to go NEET for a few years and then off myself.

Ah user I have a theory about life (I'm not op)
Maybe we do have life afther death, yet it's completely different from what we think it is.
Maybe we are randomly generated, like maps on a rougelike game, that would explain people with memories from their past.
Our consciousness is a loong string of numbers randomly put together to create us when we are born.
When we die, the numbers just go back one by one to the number poll.
That's why no one like you will be born ever again, the string is just too big, so it's hard for your numbers to appear again(yet it's possible)

The real question is, what purpose do we accomplish in here, a thing I can not answer.
Yet I do believe it's important to live, even if you have a shitty life.

Join the army, you will get fit and mentally stimulated while learning to socialize.
Do some missions for the ONU and get some money.

Not him but why the FUCK would anyone give up their freedom for no goddamn reason?

A psychiatrist doesnt do anything other than determine if you need drugs, they dont actually help you in the same ways a clinical psychologist does.

Im actually thinking about joining and trying to get some kind of tech position. Im not really sure how that works. Currently I make around $50k at my IT gig.

Also how much of a fat fuck can you be and still make it through boot? Im 6'4" 230lbs with medium muscle, I can go on a hike without getting out of breath, but running around with heavy as hell backpacks and shit 12 hours a day is not something I could just jump into.

Wheat are you talking about user?
The army in my country is pretty comfy, only 5 hours a day of work, exercise 3 times a week.

Basics is like hell, but depending on the country is just 3 months.
Your height to weight ratio seems ok, you just need to find a battalion that doesn't pushes you too much, avoid infantry, that's for sure.
I don't really know about your country but, here we have this thing called specialist, let's day, if you are an IT you can basically skip basics and jump directly to work as an IT.

Do some research, I'm sure there must be some good battalion willing to take you in, I can't help you much but usually communications is the best place if you are a neet.

Do you agree that sex should be at the bottom level of the hierarchy of needs, next to food ?

Bumping because I legit want an opinion.

When where you born?
It seems like you have an introverted personality with an eccentric style.
Maybe you have some minor psychological issues, specially self Steen related.

What are some of your favorite books? I'm reading Personality Disorders in Modern Life by Theodore Millon and I'd like to have a bigger list to get to once I'm done with this.

I was born in 1997.

It's weird. I can talk to people fine (only have some shy guy issues when meeting them), but I feel kind of bored around people after a while.

But when I go too long without talking to people I begin to feel left out, judged.

The collar thing and not looking at people make me feel secure somehow. I also like wearing dark sunglasses, also makes me feel secure (ones where people can't see my eyes from the outside).

It seems like it's your personality.
I was talking about month and day of birth, you seem from the pieces/Aquarius cusp and also an infj.

Actually scorpio. Born 11/17 (or 17 of november).

Because not only do you charge money to literally just have my talk, but your entire line of thinking is bullshit, the likes of you aren't here to "help", you're here to send robots back into the rat's race where they can be even more miserable but feed superior chads.

that's a redpilled therapist

you can find more of this shit. Made me think if it's not all bullshit after all

Reincarnation would suck. There is a much better chance of you being reborn in Sub-Saharan Africa or Bangladesh or India than in a Western country. I hope reincarnation is real but that you come back as a member of the same race

you can always kill yourself again

this desu senpai
fuck it, let's go full religion on this fucker
you get to choose your place of birth, gender, height, attractiveness, what you will do in life, how successful you will be. the only reason you are suffering in this life was to put some contrast up to good lives, and since being a perfect 10/10 with 500 iq gets boring after a few tens of thousands of times

My therapist is trying to push me towards anti-depressants, but I don't want to become some dull-headed infertile bastard because of pills. What should I do?

She also argues that the mind is like any other part of the body and can be "fixed", that a person is more than their mind, but I disagree wholly with that. The brain is who we are, so why should I try to alter it and potentially destroy who I ultimately am?

But then again I'm in a self destructive rut and I feel like I'm in a corner on what I can do to better myself... everything is confusing and it sucks, it just makes me want to curl into a ball and die to simply ignore it all.

>even my therepist has given up on me
Maybe I'm just unfixable. I wouldn't be suprised desu.

What's wrong with nihilism? Isn't it possible to be completely nihilistic and be a highly competent and high successful (materially-speaking) person?
