Feels Tavern General

Come on in, sit down, have a drink, maybe even talk about your life and let it all out. The feel tavern is open to those who needs to let out there feels.

I'm a different barkeep than the usual guys who do this, so I'll be quick with the drinks.

There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
I don't even really want to talk about it, but I've been unable to leave my house for 2 weeks and I wouldn't mind a you. Also, gin with a splash of tonic, please and thank you.

Don't mind me; I'm just here for the comfy. Irish Coffee please.

Scotch and soda. Dewars is fine. Past year has been one big set back. Gotta make a move.

Here's a you. Hope you get through it.

This gonna be a problem, buddy?

Don't have to talk about it, but I get that feel about not being unable to leave my place after a while. Only say what you need to. Here's your gin with a splash of tonic.

One day i will open a r9k-user kind of bar, for lonely NEETs and virgins

Feels like it's time for me to leave this board and the internet in general. I'm addicted to this website and the internet and it has fried my brain. I can't focus on anything, nothing interests me. I don't have the courage to follow my hobby of skateboarding because of social anxiety and the fear of falling to fuck up my teeth.

I took a two-week break at my Wal-Mart cashier job, since I don't like interacting with customers as much and I struggle to keep a fake smile. I also don't like asking people for donations.

I'm not interested in anything, I'm really not looking forward to coming back to uni for my 3rd year. I failed 3 classes the last semester and I don't give two shits about my major. The thing is I don't know what else to do. Math and science make my head hurt and I'm too dumb for it. So yeah Idk what the fuck I should be doing. The only thing I like is music and skateboarding/basketball, I'd like to write stories too but I procrastinate all the time. I also want to move out.


What do I do, barkeep?

>when she keeps trying to be cute and lewd and all she accomplishes is bring up those feelings of disgust you have toward her.
Oh well, she is the lighting rod I need for those feels, so I don't have to project them on anyone else.

Sounds like you've got a lot on your plate, so I'd recommend you start by making baby goals. First, start by taking say..3 hour breaks from the internet and Jow Forums. Then the next day, take a 4 hour break, then 5..and so on. You'll never make a last change by taking giant leaps because it's too much.

As for your major, I think you should talk to a friend who's doing the same thing. Have a heart to heart when you're alone and open up. Keeping quiet about something that significant is not good for your mental health.

Keep on skateboarding and playing basketball to stay physically healthy and get your head out of bad places.

I'll say this, and I don't like to admit it myself, but you're right about this site being bad for you. Leave while you can, and embrace the change that will come.

I just need some cold water and talk about my problems, is this the right place?

I'll take a vodka soda.

My life's a mess right now and I need to forget. I lost my gf, dropped out of college, and moved back in with my parents. Currently living off social assistance at my mom's request, but I'm spending it all on booze and I know that's gonna bite me in the ass soon. I don't think I'd have a problem getting a job, I'm just too depressed to do anything right now.

It's time to go and get a haircut today, I've been mentally preparing myself to go outside for 2 weeks now. It's one of the few things I can't do online.

I'll take some chardonnay

I feel like i'm at a dead end in life. I graduated high school, got a good job and moved out on my own. My family all moved away to the coast to life out their retirement in their dream house and left me alone in my state. I'm having a hard time trying to find out where to go next, and there's no signs of it changing. I've never been one to open up about my emotions to people, but I think i'd like someone to just hug me and tell me i'm doing great so far.

It would probably backfire and get filled up with Chads and Stacys.

It doesn't even work here, we've been waiting for drinks for like 20 mins :(

White Russian, please.

Been trying really hard to find a job for the past two months. I just finished the final stage of the process for this one job I'm really gunning for and I'll hear back by the end of the week. Really hard not to be attached to this application at this point, but I don't want to be disappointed if they pass me over. Not being able to smoke is killing me I just want a job.

sapporo

>isolating myself from friends
>intrusive suicidal thoughts are back
>self-loathing in full-swing
>shitty job
>can't enjoy just about anything the way I used to

It's too much. The only thing I can think of that would help me at this point is moving out to somewhere new, but I don't have enough money saved up and it'll probably take another 6-8 months if not more, on top of needing a car.

the suicide contagion is hitting hard, too.

Whiskey on the rocks.

I made a mistake at work today and apparently the client got mad about it and called the boss and the boss was unhappy too. It wasn't that big of a mistake, but it bothers me because it was a stupid mistake i should not have done, if i felt like trying harder. Which i should always be, if i want to get better at my job. Which i really do.

Another round.

I don't care so much if i make a mistake and it just affects me, but when it affects the client, that makes me feel real bad. It fucks up my slowly developing reputation. Shit.

Last one guy, its getting late.

Well ill talk to the boss tomorrow and hopefully he understands, he usually does. But man, ive got to get better soon.

See you later bar keep. I really like this place.

For the last, like five years probably, ive just beem having my freinds mommcut my hair. She does a fine job, but if i ever need to go to a normal barbers shop or whatever, i wouldn't know what to ask for. "Like this but shorter" i guess. They're professionals right?

As much as my lively hood depends on folks buying "booze" from me. I dont think you should be spending your quite limited income on liquor sonny. This last ones on me. But after this, try and cool off on buying so much liquor. You're going to have a life to live at some point son, and that life will need some money. Save a little now, worry less later.
But what do i know anyways, im just a bartender.

I'll take tap water with ice please

ive been feeling really weird lately, like a mixture of reminiscence, regret, and depression. overall it feels sad but in a good, addictive way. i got to experience something that i dont think would be possible in reality; it felt really good, it made me feel alive, it made life feel slightly more worth living for. like a fantastic and wonderful dream, a dream filled with happiness and comfort, a dream that i would eventually have to wake up from, and come to terms with its depressing counterpart: reality. to come back to the life of no social interaction, no sense of belonging, no feeling of being wanted in any way, it all makes me wish i was never born. such is life when 2 people are in the state of being horny, otherwise i wouldn't be here today. also just a glass of water, thanks

Hey man, I couldn't help but overhear about your problems. Sounds like you're describing my life, with minor details changed. I hope you manage to get out of the rut.
I'm thinking I should visit a shrink. What do you think about that?

I'll have some malt beer please.

I've been trying to quit everything, cigarettes, alcohol, weed, all at once. Tonight I dreamed that I was going around the town I grew up in, smoking a fat blunt and walking funny and acting like a retard until everyone left me. I literally got high in my dream. It feels weird.
I'm fucking stressed out. I need a really long break.

I'll just have some water from my Brita water filter.

I've been gradually drinking more and more energy drinks for the last year. And right before I started drinking them I threw out my coffee maker because I was drinking that compulsively too. It was about 1 or 2 weeks since I had any coffee and on Twitch some girl gamer kept promoting 5 hour energy non-stop. Like anytime there was a raffle everyone had to type 5 hour energy to enter and it was always on the screen. So I decide to try energy drinks since it's probably better and I remember thinking to myself I'll just get a few but I won't get addicted because I just got addicted to coffee so I won't make the same mistake twice.

Flash forward a year and now I'm going through 10 packs of monster in a matter of days then throughout the rest of the week I keep getting 2 for $4 or Rock Star 2 for $3. It's fucking me up. I don't fall asleep until 4 in the morning then I wake up at 2 in the afternoon, sometimes later. I also have to spend my entire E. B. T. money on the first day I get it or else I'll spend it all on energy drinks and by the end of the month the food starts to go bad.

My Mom is my Representative Payee for my S. S. I. check so I'm gonna have her give me just enough money for cigarettes and after 3 weeks I'll have saved enough money for a 2 terabyte external hard drive for my Xbox 1. Then on the 4th week I'll get groceries. Hopefully buying something I'll keep and always have instead of the fleeting pleasure of energy drinks will give me more motivation to stop getting them, and there's other stuff I can get too like Tarot for Writers by Connie Kenner, a USCF magnetic travel chess set to study openings while I'm doing laundry, a play and charge kit for my Xbox and by the time I get all that stuff I should be home free.

Wish me luck!

Sup bro. I'll have a beer. Names Chad. Stacey dumped me last night after I raped her, and shes pregnant. Any advice

I have a small story, I don't necessarily need advice. I'm just confused, and can't make any meaning out of my stupid experience.

As always there is a girl. But let me provide some background first. I am a recent PhD graduate who had been studying abroad for a while, and she was also studying for her master degree abroad in another country. I know her from high school, and even though we didn't talk all that much since then, we kinda kept in touch through our mutual friends over the years.

Things have changed a lot after my PhD defense though. She started showering me with attention, we did video chat every other day for more than hour. It wasn't boring, we weren't running out of things to say. So naturally I said that we should meet when we were both in our home country again.

This is where it all came down, she was nice to me for a couple of days while I was visiting my family, but as the day we were planning to meet approached, she grew colder and colder. The day we met, she was straight up disinterested.

This confused me a lot. Why would she do that? What was her purpose then? Was she just lonely abroad for a while and did she find better friends than me once she got back?

I'm not that obsessed over it, but I'm a bit heartbroken and sad. Because I kinda felt like someone liked me and it turns out it was just transient.

I fucking hate my life and everything about it. My job has stopped giving me hours, and no other place wants to hire me. I'm ugly as fuck and have never kissed a girl, or even had a girlfriend. I have written my note and I am just waiting for the right time now. I don't even know if I have the balls to do it because I would destroy my parents, and they're just about the only thing keeping me going.

Hey barman, Ill have some Canadian whisky if youve got it.
I still havent found a purpose yet. Or a reason why all the shit that happens to me happens. I wish I could at least find the reason, then maybe thatd put me at peace with why I cant find a purpose to keep living for. When I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was a kid, everyone told me it was because God had some special plan for me. Same thing when I was medically denied from the military. Unless God just wanted something to laugh at, I still havent found that "special" plan

>suicide contagion
life is about to drastically change for me, for the worse and I was considering just pulling out a few bucks for myself and riding it out until a bullet in the head.

never really considered how many suicides have happened recently by some of talented folk

I'm sorry to hear that sir. I hope you'll feel better soon!

Anyone else feel like they've burned out with the whole internet thing and vidya/media? I've been spending more and more time wondering the countryside this summer.

Seems like OP is closed for today. Any anons have enough time to go behind the bar and fetch us all drinks?
We will pay, I think OP wouldn't mind.

I think OP attends the bar intermittently.

Oh well. I'll come back in an hour then, gotta go to gym. Watch my place for me, would you?

Honestly guys, I had a real good thing with a girl and i threw it all away because I wasn't really looking to get settled down and I just kinda broke down over it, even though she said it was really just playful flirting.

Fast forward a year or so later, and we're still great friends (internet friends FYI), but I don't think she'll ever like me again. Might even be full blown lesbian. Guess i was turned off by her higher count of guys than me with girls, and didn't really know how to deal with that properly. Regardless, I spend every night thinking about her and she's so cold to me now in that regard. I also continue to strike out with girls, and can't even move on either. But I still would at least like to get out there in the dating world a bit more.

Turned me into a fucking mess. How do I get past this? Honestly, just feel like I'm tired of being alone.

Read my story and feel sorry for me okay?

I haven't had a boyfriend since highschool and it wasn't even that great of a relationship. I've been single and friendless for so long that having a social life seems annoying to me. I still crave intimacy and being able to hang out with others, but any time I'm in a social situation I feel out of place. I've been working minimum wage since I graduated highschool. I really don't know what to do with my life. I don't want to have children. I don't want to get married. I don't even want a boyfriend or friends anymore. I'm super stressed and angry and bitter and defeated every day. I hate going to work, but can never bring myself to quit.

Things I have yet to do:
-go on a road trip
-go hiking
-visit another city/State
-eat at a restaurant
-own a pet

Pour me a non-alcoholic beer, barkeep. I got off work early tonight and am getting /comfy/.

Some cognac?

lifes pretty comfy desu my dude. havent been worrying about the usual shit or about anything last few days.
also never trust a Dude who cuts the arms of every band shirt he owns. its not gonna end well

Barkeep, would you please use "Bartender" or something in the namespace to distinguish yourself from the random anons? You don't even need to tripfag, just namefag, it makes the immersion 100x better.

I feel like an alien. I can never find anyone that likes me or the other way around. Being weird is the worst.

Lifes all about enjoying the little things. those 20 minutes laughing about something with my friends is enough to get me through the entire week feeling ok

Dude not cool man. go be a man its your kid so you gotta care for it

All right im taking over until Barman gets back. so what are you guys having?

Prohibition Brew, my man. I'm getting /comfy/.

I don't want to be Jow Forums here but I'm listening to Trump giving a statement to the press after meeting with Kim Jong-Un and it's really interesting imo.

Not here to judge but you know we have alcohol right?

anyway anything you wanna talk about?

Attached: 5025a_A12.jpg (1024x768, 106K)

I don't drink, I used to be a drunk, it's bad stuff. I don't have a problem with people drinking, or I wouldn't be here, of course.

What to talk about? Good question, I guess right now there's an autismo at work giving me trouble but he's pretty much fading into irrelevance, I don't care what he does very much. There's a very attractive woman there who I'd like to make my gf but for some reason my ability to make small talk has completely burned out, I'm completely at a loss for words when I try to talk to her or for that matter pretty much anyone. My confidence was at a local minimum in the last few weeks but I think it's creeping back up, we'll see how it goes.

American Honey and coke please

I like a girl that had sex with another guy in our friend group before I started talking to her. I can tell she likes me back but I feel like if I started dating her it'd be really weird between me and the other guy who I'm good friends with

Hey as long as you pay im ok with it.

anyway its a good idea to just kinda keep low if you have confidence issues. just lay low for a while. desu the easiest way i know to talk to someone is too just bring up something both of you have in common.

I respect your opinion but I disagree with it. Here's why:

I think you should talk to the guy in question before you do anything, not like asking his permission but bring it up casually "hey I've been hanging out with anonette, I hope it's not weird for you or something" 99% he'll be cool with it.

As for her, just go ahead and try it, see how it works, is there any indication she might still be into him? If it's gonna go bad it'll go bad quickly so you're not going to lose much of your time even in the worst-case scenario.

> just kinda keep low
That's basically what I've been doing, yeah. I'm not gonna put myself out there until I've got the energy to stay there. I'm keeping myself in her mind, though, I talk to her casually, last time I saw her she smiled at me and waved and said goodbye on her way out the door when her shift ended, I think there's a future there when I get my energy back.

But yeah, I'm just coasting through my days atm, there's no major conflict at all, and this particular girl told me she has a bf, long-distance so I don't think that's gonna last but it keeps her in one place so to speak until I'm ready to step in.

Sorry for the meandering speech I'm that guy who's listening to Trump speak when I listen to him speak I can't help but start imitating him, I dunno why, it's some sort of autism.

Its not about him being cool with it. its the fact that they had sex before. i just cant imagine it but hey if user can bring himself to do it then good for him.

gonna be honest i never waited for a girl. There are always more girls waiting for a guy so i just go after those

Thanks keep, you're a good man

he'll almost certainly be okay with it but my issue is exactly what you described. I'm worried she'll end up cheating on me for him cause I know she finds him more attractive than me.

Ah, I see what you mean, I was purely thinking logistically.
You'd know better than me, man. If you're seriously concerned about her cheating with him it's probably a sign already that it wouldn't last. But you'd know better than me, maybe it'd work out fine.

Can i just get a cup of tea and a xanax. Everyday is a struggle.

I actually don't know if she would cheat on me or if she's the type of girl and I know for sure my friend isn't the type to fuck his friend's girl it's just that I've been cheated on several times and I'm a paranoid guy

Just...something strong. I dont care if it melts my stomach. Hell I'd prefer it.

I met the perfect girl. And I mean perfect. In every way I can think of. Every quality I could hope to find in a mate, shes smart, sweet, has similar interests to mine, different enough that we can introduce each other to new things, similar humor, super talkative, even similar goddamn kinks. I'm a submissive male, do you have any idea what it's like to not only find a dom girl, but a dom girl into your set of kinks almost exactly?
To top all that off shes gorgeous. And exactly the kind of alt girl I hoped to be with in my wildest dreams.

Not that any of it matters. We're good friends, and that's it. She has a boyfriend right now (a jackass that's abusing her nonetheless) that shes planning to leave pretty quick here, and she just wants to take a break from relationships. If she had any interest in me, that wouldnt be the case. So what's it matter that I met the perfect girl, she isnt into me. I dont know why I ever hoped she could be.
I wanna kill myself, probably will soon

Shit son, I know paranoia, I've never been cheated on but I understand paranoia. I feel for you, I do. Do what feels right, I guess, I hope the best for you.

Here its homebrew vodka.

When a girl says she doesnt have an interest in releationships means she was fucked over once or twice. just get her drunk one night maybe a few days after the break up and confess your love to her.

She already knows how I feel. It didnt change anything. At this point I just use it to remind her that theres good things about her when her boyfriend is telling her shes a piece of shit

Captain Coke please
Another phase where the folks are pressuring me to turn my life around when I don't really see the point or know if I have the ability anymore. I just want to disappear ad be forgotten at this point.

I really do hope society has learned it's lesson and won't let kids of today grow up as directionless and unmotivated as we are.

> 2017 was spent almost in stasis

I feel the opposite, 2017 was a crazy transition, the person I was in January 2017 was dramatically different from the person I was in December 2017, I'd be happy to elaborate for anyone interested.

Sorry for jacking your post there. I'm glad you're moving forward too, though.

I don't want to enable you because it sounds like you'd benefit from the interaction, but why don't you just shave your head at home?

I'm not the bartender so I can't get you your Chardonnay, I want to tell you that I'm proud of you for trying. The search for purpose is a painful one. Maybe it's time for a little introspection. What do you want? What do you need? Regardless, striking out on your own is brave, and admirable. You're doing great.

Just graduated highschool, don't have the marks for university. Never had a job. Parents are putting so much pressure on me to get a job and move on in life. They don't know about my depression, anxiety or drug habits. I feel like i can't relate to anybody. My few friends are just as depressed as me and are to scared to talk about their feelings, like me. I feel so fucking usless, the walls i've built up around myself are so huge, I think i fucked up. I'm probably going to get kicked out and live on the street. I wish i just had someone to talk to.

I had one crazy transition at the tail end of 2016, then was in 'stasis' because I couldn't cope, basically. I'm here to listen if you have a story to tell.

Good luck, hope you get it. I'm glad there are robots here fighting the good fight.

My shifts up. anyone up for it? You wanna take over for a while?

Been there, buddy. I've found some comfort in picking up more constructive hobbies. I try to play my guitar instead of throwing away all my time binging on video games and tv.

I've also found philosophy to be quite comforting. If you have the inclination to read, check out Marcus Aurelius's Meditations. There's a lot of perspective out there, keep trying.

>They don't know about my depression, anxiety or drug habits.
Just stop. All these teenage self diagnoses are the worst cancer in your developing mind. Forget this shit. It's just a coping mechanism to cover for your perceived failings. All this talk of mental illness and walls you've built around yourself is narrative vanity. You're writing your character bio and you're creating a pussy failure of a character. No one would want to play so the you of tomorrow will hate life just as much.

You have a few friends that's someone to talk to. You can't relate to anyone because you have very little life experience just like everyone else your age.

You're doing fine, friend, you're just falling for media propaganda encouraging you to just give up and die so girls and browns and can get ahead.

Self pity is the mind killer. Leave this place and motivate yourself instead.

I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours.

Basically through most of my life I was a textbook underachiever, I performed far below the expectations of people who care about me, I performed far below my potential (I'm not gonna jerk myself off on r9k here but I'm not stupid, I could have done better).

This underachieving continued into 2017, into college, I picked up drinking because I couldn't sleep. And just one night getting blitzed made my insomnia disappear so I picked up drinking on the regular. I worked my shit-tier McCuck job, and I was quietly sliding towards suicide. It was over. There was nothing left to save me. Important note, I was a virgin and had never had a real relationship.

One night, a new girl walks in, she's going to be taking over late-night, and I'm drunk. I think to myself "she's cute as fuck." We hit it off against all odds and we dated for a while, she was emotionally abusive and I ignored red flag after red flag going into the relationship anway, it was just a bad idea, but the change of pace was what I needed.

She completely upended my paradigm of underachievement and inertia. When the relationship ended I felt manic, hyperconfident, I got myself embarrassed a few times, that combined with inertia and loss of momentum made me depressed again. It's worth noting I was drinking like a fish this entire time.

So I started racing towards suicide, I was drunk all the time and staring down the barrel of failing out of college. I got as far as settling on a method before I realized I don't have to balls to kiill myself. It was in this moment something snapped, I decided I wasn't going to be a fuckup anymore, I was going to pass this course and get my life on track.

Against all odds, I did. I passed all my courses, I quit drinking, I realized I can assert control over my situation and I don't have to resign myself to underachievement.

This is the shared progeny of our existence. Essentially meaningless, it seems. Find something to live for, to take refuge in. Something that uplifts you.
