Is Jow Forums a bunch of failed normies and Jow Forums a bunch of weird losers?

I'm curious, do you lift? if not, why are you here? are you curious about fitness?

>/fa/
>veganism

Yeah, well you know Veganism is cover for eating disorders, it's common knowledge.

People claim to be vegans to avoid having to eat infront of other people even tho they aren't vegan. They just dont want the calories.

fucking /brapkino/ right there

Do what makes you happy, but try to help yourself.

You don't have to give up vidya or anime, but eat healthy, exercise, and do go out at least once a week, even if alone.

Personally, I gave up on having a normal life, but I am trying to have something fulfilling

are you me?

Haha yeah, I understand.

It's funny because when I was Auschwitz mode (140 lbs at 6'2) and unemployed, I used to think no one who was "successful" and fit could feel empty and alone.

Oh how wrong I was.

how are you so successful, yet lack self confidence? maybe try to think of social skills and girls as a skill you have to practice.

Oh my

I am very confident at work, that's all about it.

I have never had any contact with a girl outside of work for over 10 years.

why dont you try going to church or an anime convention or something

Wait, this guy
Are those hookers or has he really found female specimen that put up with his anime hissyfits?

the problem is simple, I only care about my work. Solving a mathematical problem is the only thing I truly find satisfying.

and I find it very difficult to pretend that I care about some stranger has to say when I am out, which I guess is really what you need to do to get to know someone better.

i'd say my board taste has matured with me. from cancer to advanced cancer to terminal cancer.

please tell me this is porn

Are you like me user?

I feel that it is very easy to be confident when I know exactly what to do.
When giving out presentations, or when having to perform a task, there are a series of well defined steps that I know if I follow, I will succeed.

However, there are no clear enough instructions for human inyeraction, and thats where everything falls apart.

>I find it very difficult to pretend that I care about some stranger has to say when I am out
well cant you set those feelings aside temporarily to ultimately gain a greater benefit in human companionship? you were posting sad mopey crap about being a hugless kissless virgin, so it's obvious it bothers you and you want a female partner. You can't have it both ways. You can't disdain other people while simultaneously wanting their companionship.

Riley Reid on the left

Not the fag you are talking to, but if you put aside those feelings to get a gf, eventually you will grow empty inside due to having to pretend to be something you are not.

That's how my 4 year relationship fell apart.

>no clear enough instructions for human inyeraction
Dale Carnegie's your man. Try "How to Win Friends and Influence People". Great book, and the analytical mind can really benefit from employing its techniques. Seeing what works for you and what doesnt. Lots of practical advice that makes good sense.

I completely agree!

it's the same thing with giving a lecture/presentation or TA a class.

During the fall semester I had to TA this class on a subject I am very passionate about. I remember once someone in class asked when they can come to my office. I said anytime, and he said "even during weekends?". I said, yes of course. Then a girl said "but user don't you want to be out/have fun during the weekends?". We had a 10 minute conversation after this question because my students couldn't believe this super confident and passionate guy they see teaching them in class doesn't display the same amount of confidence in real life, which is essential if you want to be successful socially.

so what are you saying? you want some chick to love you and to fuck you, but you don't want to give her the time of day? what if one of your bros needed help moving or something? are you just gonna tell him to go fuck himself because masturbating on Jow Forums is more important? it's the same thing with chicks. they just want you to spend quality time with them. they usually reciprocate by sucking your dick or something, so it's not all bad. Just saying, man, you can't be totally self absorbed or you'll just end up driving everyone away.

I got the book, read it, and now I can make acquaintances.
The issue is that the book doesn't tell you how to be interested in others, just how to pretend you are.

"Compliment others! Ask questions! Only say positive things! Smile more!"

Those pieces of advice work well for being overall liked, but not for actually making and enjoying meaningful relationships.

>and you want a female partner

I don't want a female partner, I want to feel that I deserve a female partner.

and I just don't feel that I do. I started lifting 3 years ago because of this, but it hasn't changed the way I feel, hence the sad picture.

What does being a "failed normie" mean?

actually not deserve, but "feeling worthy enough to be with someone"

not sure if there is a word for that

you're a total faggot and you don't deserve to succeed. please kill yourself.

/v/ and /b/ like every other underage faggot who tries and denies it.

Spent the good part of a year on Jow Forums but now I just look back at it with disgust. All it did was make me biased and waste hours of my time with their "based" youtube channels.

For the past two years its been a good rotation of /fa/, Jow Forums, Jow Forums, and recently /his/.

As to who I am as a person
>kinda awkward kid but had a ton of friends throughout elementary and highschool
>I was really sociable and everyone knew me, but it the end it was more like I was everyone's friend yet I had nobody to truly call a friend
>uni comes around and I pretty much gave up on a social life in my first year
>second year is pretty much done and I currently have a nice gf but no other friends

I think Im doing alright.

you don't find anyone funny? you don't find anyone interesting? you can't find anyone with shared interests? you said you have acquaintances, have you tried hanging out with any of them? taking it to the next level in friendship? am I dealing with a 5 year old?

Jow Forums, Jow Forums, and that's about it.

I am unironically an engineering manager at a fortune 500 tech company. I graduated university a couple years back & browsed Jow Forums since high school

>That's how my 4 year relationship fell apart
4 years of pretending to be someone elsr or did you start to pretend later in your relationship?

Failed normie for sure. I have a fair amount of friends in real life, but they have no idea I browse Internet forums. To them I’m just a shy good looking person, but I’m incredibly screwed up in the head.

this is kinda me...except I'm getting worse at masking it

I don't find anyone interesting or funny.

I may find interest in what they do, but not in themselves as a human.

For example, one acquaintance is a very good programmer, so I enjoy looking at his code and learning from it, but I don't care about himself at all.

Similarly, another one is a very good guitar player, who has weird tastes in music. I asked what i he found interesting about it, and He showed me how to enjoy that kind of music (afro Peruvian songs), and why he considers that genre to be great.
But again, I don't care about him on the slightest, and he could disappear and i would only be concerned about not being able to learn new songs or earn my ez $100 a month playing with him on bars.

I wish someone could talk to me about enjoying relationships the way he talked about enjoying afro Peruvian music.

I /madeit/ in the sense that I found a job right after getting my degree in college. It's sweet because I just sit here for 8 hours and shitpost for my entire shift. I'm also married to my childhood friend.

I exclusively browse Jow Forums and Jow Forums. Most of the other boards are cancer or just don't interest me.

I started pretending right away. But

How long can you pretend to care about what her brainless friends talk about Korean series?
How long can you pretend to enjoy traveling when all you want to do is go home and play video games or watch a movie?
How long can you pretend to enjoy gourmet food when all you care is the macros and how much of a money drain that is?
How long can you pretend to enjoy cooking with her when you could make a way more nutritious amd cheaper meal in a fraction of the time?

I did care about her, and it is probably one of the very few people I've truly cared for, but I can't keep up with that.

I’m with you on that. With the convergence of social media and other internet communities I’m finding it a lot harder to keep the mask from falling apart. I’ve built two separate personas over the past 10 years and I see them slowly colliding into one clusterfuck of a personality.

Used to think I was just a failed normie, but the older I get the more i'm starting to feel like a complete and total robot.

Self esteem?

god damn it you are fucking stupid and sound insufferable fuck

Jow Forums, Jow Forums, /a/, /lit/, /mu/ and maybe a tiny bit of /v/ have been my only rotation for the last 8 years.

I'm like 60% successful normie. Making a ton of dosh, a few groups of pretty tight friends from elementary/middle school, high school, college, and my job.

But, all but one of my friends are male. This is where I'm most lacking. I mean I have followed the engineering track, but shit why do I have like 20 male friends and only 1 female friend. Why does it just not happen?

Had a gf once, and opportunities for sex, but never followed through, so technically still got that v card.

/tg/ is my home board, but I come to Jow Forums because I don't want to look like the average fa/tg/uy.

I dip in to a variety of boards as my interests wax and wane. Although /tg/ is my favourite board, I'm only there for specific generals. I browse /x/, Jow Forums (it's a total shit show that I can't look away from), /v/, /vg/, /gif/, /wsg/, Jow Forums (same reason as Jow Forums), /fa/ and /out/. Weirdly enough, thanks to Jow Forums I have plenty of interests that I may have never had at all had I not come here for /b/ a decade ago.

failed normie, but improving

can confirm the 2010 period of browsing Jow Forums was full of self loathing and despair

I’d say I’m mostly normal but I’ve wasted way too much time on this website which definitely killed time I should have spent cultivating hobbies and a social life. So, there’s catching up to do.
Browsed /b/ long ago but now I stick to blue boards only, and the somewhat practical ones. Jow Forums, /trv/, and /out/ mostly.

I used to go on r9k but it only lasted for like 2 months before I became fed up with it. I would go there to have a laugh at some greentexts because I liked the cringe but the overwhelming negativity was too much and I didn't want to have anything to do with such losers anymore.

fitizens and robots are the same kind of people except that we choose to fight and they choose to die.

Relationships are basically the whole point of living. Bros as well as hoes. I hope you'll get it some day. Sharing pain and happiness. Being human and sharing the tragedy of existence, etc.

I had an unstable upbringing and an angry, abusive father. I did very well despite that.

However, a few major career mishaps in my 20s made me anxiety ridden and insecure about my abilities. It also made me incompatible with the mainstream

So I cope by laughing at normies, lifting weights and obsessing over conspiracy theories

fit is cocoon mode for wannabe normies

brap

The dude is wacky but clearly very heavily invested in who he is and is happy with himself. There are going to be girls that find him very attractive simply because he is so unafraid of sharing the fact that he fucking loves this shit (and has a job and money and a good grasp of personal hygiene).

Believe it or not, liking anime is not THE big turn off for a lot of girls that some think it is. It's the fucking autism and lack of bathing and personal shame and overall fear of women, that usual accompanies anime as a hobby, that sets anime fans out as hardcore losers.

I wander a little bit.
Hang out in /egg/ and /fps/ mostly.
I like to visit new boards but I get bored (heh) quickly.

I admit I enjoy browsing, but it's not a constructuve use if time. I used to consume my spare time with it to the point of browsing when working.

what do you do for work?

not a brap-poster, I just like the sniffing memes. anyone got the 99.9% happiness one?

I have dead set been on Jow Forums almost daily for the past 9 years

At various points throughout my fave board has been /b/, gif, s, wg, fit, sci, lit, tv, int and /new/ before it got banned. It was basically Jow Forums but worse.

I'm 27 now and rarely post anymore because I can't be bothered. I've seen the same threads over and over, day in day out. The same OPs, the same replies, the same jokes, the same arguments. Over and over. I don't even bother learning the new memes anymore because I've seen so many come and go, and I just don't care anymore.

So why do I still come here? Who knows. I have nowhere else to go. It's basically a ritual for me. I come home, I turn on the computer, I load up my tabs which includes a few different Jow Forums boards and browse through them. Often it's simple to start a fap session on /gif/. Whatever.

I would consider myself a failed normie. I am very successful academically, but when I tried to be a Chad and party to fuck girls, I ended up mostly drinking alone and becoming an alcoholic.

In the past few months I've been trying to get off the booze and get back into the gym (doing stronglifts 5x5) which is a positive in my life I guess.
