28 checking in. My life is so bland now nobody replies to my lukewarm stories on Jow Forums. I feel so out of touch with online communities. The moment they hear I'm married, employed, have sex often, etc I'm just another normie and get cast aside, even though I've been lurking since I was a teenager. I dont know how else to make friends but online, but even here groups wont take me.

Drink water instead of snacking, and buy healthier snacks like nutz and little babybel cheese wheels. Keep your protein and fat intake high and limit how much refined sugar and carbs you eat, and you will be okay. I dont mean go full ketosis, but just keep carbs at 20% of your diet max

Riddle me this:
At work, a girl came over from a different workplace to sort out something. We sort out said thing. Talk to each other about things like work, weather etc small talk. We stand around in silence in between questions for 10-20 seconds, then after a 1 minute pause she says goodbye and leaves.

Does this mean anything? I cant tell if this is anything, im a 30kv i dont know wat is going on.

She was being polite.

I turned 30 recently. That means I managed to outlive Tupac, Kurt Cobain, Heath Ledger, Avicii and Bruce Lee. FeelsOKMan

Fuck off normalslime

That is called basic human interaction retard, means nothing

I actually feel bad about outliving people like Tupac and Kurt Cobain. They managed to become cultural icons while having less time. It makes me realize that even though I am older I'm still retarded and that there are many younger people out there who are simply more advanced than me. I'm 30 too and I'm sure 30 year old me would simply get BTFO by 22 year old Tupac. It's just sad if anything.

Wish she just left, really.

>retard
Remember where you are posting mate

My only goal is outlive my weakass alcoholic dad. I dont even know how old he was.

28 in 2 months. I've completely given up on everything.

It more sounds like you found it intriguing and was hoping it was something more desu, else why did you ask about it?

>married
This place isn't for you.

Fuck off to reddit normie.

Because i didnt know what she really wanted. And now its bugging me, well, not anymore since it makes sense what you guys said. Next time ill know to hurry things up and make nothing of it.

Well, keep in mind that we're all autistic retarded and everything we say, especially regarding social interactions, should most likely be discarded.
Another take on it follows - consider that modern women aren't particularly known for their politeness and decency. Perhaps her willingness for an extended visit was more purposeful than mere politeness. Maybe she was testing the waters to see what kind of guy you are and giving you a chance to make a move. Women who don't want to be asked out DO NOT make themselves available. They disappear like the fucking Road Runner.

Oh fuck off, i almost believed she wanted nothing.

Found a fully white hair growing in my nose the other day, lads. I'm now up to three.

>why cant i relate
because you're in the wrong place normalcunt
go to some normie friendly place like reddit

There are myriad ways of interpreting the world user. No one can tell you what path you must follow. You decide that on your own.

They were just lucky. The bottom line is that they weren't happy, because if they were, they wouldn't have died so young.

No one is happy. Happiness is a meme. They weren't stupid enough to fall for such a meme and they aimed for something higher.

I have white hairs growing out of my ears

Why do you need friends when you have a wife? Have kids then, you sound like you have too much free time.

28 khv failed normie.

Multiple qualifications and working a decent paying office jobs for a few years now. Not that ugly either but now balding badly due to stress and genes. Pushed away every single woman interested in me as I am mortified by intimacy.

Pretty much accepted my fate of dying alone with nothing worthwhile to reflect upon on my deathbed.

I'm married (and to a gorgeous woman who shares all my values) and I agree with this guy. You wouldn't need friends if you married your best friend. Sounds like you're with a girl who bores you.

I see 0 reason in modern society for a man to marry anything other than a woman you get along with really well.

I know a lot of guys that absolutely fucking hate spending time with their partners other than sex. They are just pining to go out drinking with the boys. What's the fucking point of such a relationship?

Well, it's obvious you should marry someone you enjoy (if at all). The guys you're talking about sound like they made stupid picks.

>What's the fucking point of such a relationship?
Because it is established by social standards that someone should be married after a certain age
And a lot of people give in to the pressure

Pressure isn't a good reason without good reason for the pressure. Just marry someone you know you'll enjoy and whose values you share per and There - problem solved.

Yeah. I've been trying to set up a freelance graphic design career so I can work from home but I'm running into the problem where I'm just not disciplined enough to get out of bed when I wake up. Years of being a useless neet and general sloth have made it so that I sleep like 10 hours and then lounge around in bed for another two before carrying on with morning routine like hygiene and breakfast. Between that and my allotted time to relax in the evening I'm having trouble dedicating the amount of time I need to in order to make this freelance thing work. Thing is I refuse to give up my relaxation time in the evening and the whole sleep thing is so ingrained I don't know what to do. I really can't go back to waging
>inb4 alarm
Doesn't work, not disciplined enough to actually obey it

>Not that ugly either but now balding badly due to stress and genes. Pushed away every single woman interested in me as I am mortified by intimacy.
I'm exactly the same as you user. Handsome yet mortified by intimacy (perfect expression btw) for some bizarre reason.

I was just walking in the woods and saw common viper for the first time. After being startled for a minute, I realized that I'm more scared of ordering and drinking coffee in cafe alone or saying couple of words to a stranger than I'm scared of venomous snakes.

wow, it's like you're on the wrong board or something

You've made feel comfy

I started losing weigh and becoming healthier when I decided that during the day (I mean it, whenever the sun was up) I would eat and be the healthier as possible. Like drinking lots of water and eating fruits, vegetables, having a balanced lunch and a small breakfast. At night, whatever, the same as ever - drinking soda, eating garbage, etc..

Man, I lost like 5kg in a month. Then I decided to make Mon-Fri the days that I would be healthy, day and night. Lost another 5kg.

Nowadays I'm thin, my bowels are working great and now I'm trying to make time to go to the gym.

Good luck.

29 here. Badly employed, no girls

>no good internet connection
Now this is true suffering, not even joking

Should've tried harder in school

anyone in the position where you actually envy 25+ robots... I never thought my life would get to this point, been browsing since 2008, am now 33 and actually would love to be a true wizard again.

In middle school I was the second best in class.

In college things got really fucked up, no motivation, had to start working... Living in a shithole country is really sad.

Why are you not a true wizard?

Right, so you should've tried harder in college.

No motivation, man
Also, too tired from working in a hot factory all day long.

I know you had no motivation, which is why I said "should've". And who forced you to work in a factory?

My bills.

A ten year old can even tell you that you're not supposed to live beyond your means.

Was hiking once and found a diamondback rattlesnake hiding under a brush next to the trail. My body had backtracked before my brain even recognized what was going on. I was impressed. Sneks are cool mang, I love sneks.
I learned how to do all that shit. Started when I was a teenager, I couldn't even go to the park or go to a place I had never been before, couldn't go to a cafe or restaurant. Got fed up with that shit, managed to rip it all out of my head and throw it in the trash. Now I don't get any social anxiety at all. If you want a shortcut, just stop caring about everything. I eat out by myself all the time, do whatever I want. Try this. Go for a walk. If you pass one of those half walls, like that borders a garden in an urban area or outside a business, jump up and walk along it. If you get anxious over what people will think, you have lost this round, play again. Do shit like that until you destroy your anxiety.

Maybe a ten year old that doesn't live in a poor city in a poor country, having to take care of a dying parent, man.

No one told you to go to college without being able to afford it. Work, take care of the parent and ultimately end up debt free.

I went to a good college here. The best are the public ones. I've never had any kind of debt.

Congratulations on winning at life, chad. You can leave Jow Forums now and do something useful with your great life.

Wtf is this guy losing time here

Okay, so exactly why are you poorly employed and unable to afford an Internet connection at almost 30 years old?

Managing my finances is a step to winning. I never made any claims about myself the way you did. It's just annoying to see people not having basic life skills.

Maybe the ones who an heroed. But Tupac getting gunned down is probably not indicative of his happiness

Eh I am marrying my best friend but we don't 100% overlap on everything.

Sometimes I want to go to a talk or show they doesn't care about, so I'd go with another friend with interest.

No motivation, man
I don't know

>I see 0 reason in modern society for a man to marry anything other than a woman you get along with really well.
I don't understand why women now only want the retarded power struggle shit where you have to discipline them and they still hate you regardless if who "wins", back in my day I used to have perfectly normal relationships with women who I got along with and who were nice and kind to me and vice versa.

Now everything has to be like raising a bratty child that you don't even like, what the fuck happened.

I never said you should overlap in hobbies. I specifically said values.

Since you're replying to what I said about needing friends, in which hobbies would be relevant, here's my answer: although it would be nice to have friends, you don't need them and you would still go back to your wife as long as your values were shared, because values are stronger than hobbies. Agreed? Though I'm not saying it's bad having friends.

Should've tried harder in life. Now you're screwed.

This, honestly if you can't even try hard enough to get born into an American family you're worthless.

You're being purposely daft about a guy who has admitted his problem is just motivation. The fuck does it have to do with American families?

>no good internet connection.
I know this feel
rural burgerland is awful

>just motivation
Just get motivated brah, worked for Sisyphus.

I've been looking through my wardrobe and most of my clothes look worn, old and out of style. I'm interested in updating my clothes, but am not sure where to go. I know better than to go to Walmart, but do I go to a department store like Macy's? Or like a small popular store in the mall? I haven't really shopped for clothes in awhile.

For reference, I'm 27 years old, male, and work an office job. I want to update my clothes for both work and the weekend.

I order all my clothes online

Well sure. If you don't want to live miserably as you described (if it was you - don't know if he's still here), you need to change your habits and lifestyle.

I have a weird body type, so I like to try them on first.

What sites do you order through, though?

>What sites do you order through, though?
unironically usually through amazon since they let you return them if they don't fit quite right

>I am a brainwashed retard who doesn't know about anything outside of his sheltered imperialist existence

Identify what constitutes brainwashing from telling someone who admitted to a lack of motivation (and no other inhibiting qualities) to change in order to have a less miserable life. You're blowing a lot of smoke for someone who can't suggest something of his own.

When you hit 30 you are locked in for life

Good luck robots.

Thanks. I do love jumping on rocks and tree roots in forest, but because nobody is watching me there, it's easy. I'll try what you said or at least just eat out by myself more and more. I don't doubt that if I do it enough times things get a bit easier.

No one cares faggot oregon

i had sex
hell was even married and regret it coz now I'm the laughing stock of everyone
wish I was a 33 year old wizard

>actually would love to be a true wizard again
I'm a 32 yr old wizard. Why do you say that?

Why did your marriage fail? Why are you the laughing stock of everyone?

I'm in a similar spot. I wish I had held out until I was making good money and just bought a doll for home and escorts to go on vacation with. I made a huge mistake and I can never get out of it.

I'm 25 and about to finish university. I hated going to parties and interact with other students even though I tried in my first two years to go everywhere and do everything to be more normal. After noticing that not only I couldn't start a conversation, but also continue it when someone spoke to me, I started to isolate myself. In the last two years I've been a complete shut-in, who has never been in a relationship or had sex, because of my fear of intimacy and crippling social anxiety. I went to nurse to talk about these things and visited social anxiety group, but I didn't improve much at all.
I can't give up now, so I wanted to know what kind of hobbies or activities would be the most helpful to get to know people and interact with them. I just can't deal with being alone and crying all the time. I'm in a place right now when I'm ready to try new things, but I don't know where to start.

Nah He knew he was going to die and that his life and message would get him killed. He used to talk about it all the time. He could have made changes but he decided to be true and accept death.

You know you don't actually get magical powers right?

Is that what you want out of your life? You do know that in couple of decades no-one will even remember them. Who gives a shit about superficial goals like that. You should be happy just being yourself and pushing yourself forward in your own direction. Unless being a famous artist is what you wanted, then you have failed.

Even if you had killed yourself no one would have remembered. It's not that radical dude thousands of people do it every day and you've never heard of them.

I have gotten 5 likes on okcupid. Should i pay 20$ to see who liked me? Im sort of afraid all of them are on the other side of the planet.

Either that or they are planets

Kek, that too.

No. Just *like them until you get mutual likes.

Until you get a mutual like, they can't even read your messages.
