Why do robots get upset when you point out that they waste their prime years on completely useless entertainment? Porn, video games, listening to music, YouTube videos, etc.. They're all literally useless experiences to give you that good hit of dopamine but they don't leave you with anything afterwards. You're replacing life with fictitious entertainment. Watching others have fun, essentially, and tricking your brain into thinking it's actually you who's fucking that hot girl. But in reality you're just sitting in a chair watching a screen. Robots will reply with something like: socializing and drinking etc. are temporary and useless too. But socializing, spending time outside in the sun and in nature, exercising and working out, literally all have psychological and health benefits. They also help build personal relationships that can last decades and will be useful for your career since so many jobs are found that way. Too, they build real memorable experiences you can draw on when you're older and telling people interesting stories about how you lived your life. But you can't tell realistically tell people about the time you jerked off to a shemale porn video or captured a point in Battlefield. You also can't get laid if you stay inside all the time. Tinder isn't for you, that's true. But if you spend time out of the house and coming into contact with women your chances actually grow above zero.
Maybe the content provided by the internet simple provides enough pleasure that reaches your threshold which means you don't want anything else. If so that's really sad because life is about activity, death is sitting still. You're getting older and letting real life slip you by.
Because they already know that and seeing people pointing it out constantly as if it's some massive revelation is just grating.

>Why do people not like having their flaws repeatedly pointed out to their faces and told they are a piece of shit
it's okay tho cause i do drugs and the only thing that's real is the pain and it's the only thing i learn from
Christian Hall
This is it 100%. Instead of pointing it out, try to come up with a way to improve ourselves that we haven't tried before or been told 9999 times before.
Nicholas Clark
i give you one it's learning by failure when you fail so bad but you have to find a way not too for the sake of not dying
Jaxson Myers
Norimies do that too. Normies aren't all chads and stacies who party everyday and live in a gym, they're mostly pathetic people who manage to get other pathetic people to consume media with.
Elijah Wilson
>tricking your brain into thinking it's actually you who's fucking that hot girl.
I'm not upset, but I do find your argument here annoying. I am not faced with a choice between watching hot girls perform in porn on the one hand and dating and sleeping with hot girls myself on the other hand. I am faced with a choice between watching hot girls perform in porn, and nothing.
I can stay here and type posts and communicate (if only a little) with you, or I can go outside and communicate with no one. Granted, there would still be some benefits to going outside - getting fresh air, getting some exercise. But the social benefits would be negligible.
I would have been DELIGHTED when I was in college to have engaged in a lot of socializing and drinking. Nobody wanted to socialize with me. And I think that is probably why people get upset when you try to offer your advice - because it strongly implies that the reason your listener isn't socializing is because they're stubbornly refusing to, when the truth is that most of us aren't socializing because NO ONE WANTS US TO.

To me muh real life isnt that fun and its usually expensive, if i was a wagekek id probanly go out more but i have no money and i dont mind playing vidya all the time. The only downside is being lonely.
Juan Gonzalez
I already know this OP. I fell for the NEET meme for 3 years after high school and it totally fucked my shit up. pic related was basically my routine every day
>no sleep so I always felt fatigued, unfocused and irritable >no exercise so I ended up with bad posture, a skinnyfat body and more fatigue >no friends so I never had fun with others or learned how to socialise as an adult >no money so never got to have hobbies beyond vidya or save up for a car >no education so now I am about as employable as a retard
It tears me up knowing that with minimal effort I could've gone to university and had magical experiences with my friends. They've all moved on and gotten degrees, girlfriends, jobs and new friends while I still feel like a teenager emotionally. These days I'm turning my life around but I think being NEET permanently fucked me up. Do NOT fall for the memes that say you are somehow better than normies. The truth is that they are living life and you can join them.
OP never called you a piece of shit. This is something that most robots seriously need to hear. Your late teens and twenties are literally the golden sliver of your life. They'll be gone and in the rear view before you know it (this is a cliched statement but it's absolutely true). Who cares if you get rejected by some people? The feeling of rejection only lasts a few hours if that and then it's gone. You won't remember the times you got sidelined or turned down when you're 60+, but you will remember the times when you met new people, made long-lasting friendships, went to a social club you'd never tried before, done something completely new, etc.
There are entire groups on the internet dedicated to meeting up and socializing with strangers. Join one, seriously. Literally nothing bad can come of it. Also, get a job if you can. Neets who say they're happy are liars. You need something to focus your energy on and if not a job than be working on a project that has real value (like writing a book).
People are probably going to hate me for saying this stuff but it's all true. Don't waste your life.
John Davis
>Porn isn't pointless, the amount of pleasure I get from those nuts is unmatched by anything else in my life And? Visits are probably the best thing in the life of a prisoner, but that doesn't mean there isn't something better outside those walls. You're going to die someday, drop the self-pity and LIVE.
Julian Rodriguez
If you think personal happiness is genuinely useless, why even keep yourself alive? Just end it all.
Mason Johnson
>>Why do weak people never change
Yeah, user! Come on, it's incredibly clear that just outside your door there are lots of cool people who want to bond with you and be your friend, as well as scores of pretty girls who are lonely and who are lined up waiting to date you. If you would just stop refusing to let these people befriend you and stop refusing to date all those girls who are demanding you date them, you'd be totally happy!
It's really crazy how you keep choosing fake media experiences over the Ferris Bueller adventures you'd have if you weren't barricaded in your room.
Jack Collins
eh, good memories or regrets, regardless the time is gone and will never come back after it passes. memories fade and then you're dead forever

Nah bro you don't understand. What OP is saying is that if you stop playing videogames and step outside your door, NASA is going to grab you and make you an astronaut, and you're going to triple-date triplets.
You're being a giant asshole, leaving NASA short an astronaut and leaving those triplets with no one to date them, just because you'd rather play videogames instead.
Jaxon Fisher
this is bee yourself tier, some people arent meant to this kinda shit, maybe because of circumstances or maybe because they are just pieces of shit and realise that so they just isolcate themselves, we know we are missing out, stop reminding us
Oliver Johnson
WTF do you have that makes you unable to do what the user suggested?
Anthony Williams
>>doing things you enjoy is wasting time Do you really "enjoy" them though? Jacking off, eating, consuming endless vacuous content (yes, even history videos and educational podcasts!) is just popcorn. Think back to the moments of true enjoyment in your life. Did they include that type of thing? Maybe once or twice, but 95% of your positive experiences come from achieving something; struggle and success. What you think is enjoyment is actually just pathological relaxation.
Tyler Nelson
That's really up to you, if you prefer that lifestyle. I think it's actually a healthy dynamic for attention whore blogposters and optimistic advice fags to argue, it's good to discuss things that matter.
Also if you wanted to be isolated you wouldn't be using social media in this way. there are actually a trillion ways to not be reminded of missing out that aren't going to a board where people talk about missing out.
Caleb Smith
Vidya is fun but it won't make you happy.
Hunter Williams
>maybe because of circumstances What circumstances justifies isolating yourself completely? >or maybe because they are just pieces of shit If you realize you are a piece of shit, you have the potential to change. True assholes never even understand that they are such. Just consciously try to be nice to people and I promise it will come, and if you have to make a moral decision, just do the right thing. It's as simple as that. Also seek counselling if you think you need to. >we know we are missing out, stop reminding us No, you need to be reminded. You're probably in your late teens or twenties right now. That means you still have a metric fuckload of time to make the most of, and in 20, 30 or 40 years you'll fucking WISH someone had pushed you harder to get better.
I always try to remember that a 70 year old billionaire would swap places with me just because I still have most of my life ahead of me.
Jack Moore
>Do you really "enjoy" them though? Yep. It's entertainment, fuckwit, it's not supposed to be "deep and meaningful" experiences. Public executions used to be entertainment too, perhaps it should be brought back and we should put your dumb ass through it. It'll be something to remember lmao
Joseph Bell
>optimistic advice fags I'm not an optimist in the slightest. I have no delusions about the nature of the world. We're all born dead and you can never replay this game again. Once a day is gone, it's never coming back. That's why doing nothing is such a massive mistake.
Matthew Allen
That's a very standard optimist perspective.
Ayden Evans
>Public executions used to be entertainment too, perhaps it should be brought back and we should put your dumb ass through it. It'll be something to remember lmao Maybe this is why you can't make friends. Too much cleverness, not enough realness. Just remember it's your life you're wasting. Whatever ebin burn you lay down on me I won't remember it tomorrow.
Nolan Rodriguez
>WTF do you have that makes you unable to do what the user suggested?
My experience of the world is that people have barely enough time for the family and friends they already have connections with, and if you show up and try to take some of that time people are simply annoyed. Also, women don't want you to interact with them at all, because you aren't what and who they want, and any moment of their time you take is potentially the moment when the guy they DO want might have come into their lives.
>Shitpost and get a response, or >Impose yourself on some group of people IRL and have them awkwardly look at each other while they hope you will just go away
Tough choice.
>Watch porn, or >Listen to girls shout "DID I MENTION MY BOYFRIEND IN THE LAST SEVEN SECONDS?" over and over as they panic that you might think they're interested
Wow, another tough choice.
>Play videogames where you engage in fake conflicts and earn fake rewards, or >Watch paint dry and grass grow
OMG THE HARDEST CHOICE OF ALL.
Hunter Hall
It's not supposed to "make you happy", it's supposed to be fun. See, you faggots mismanage your lives and have your priories wrong. You fix that.
Mason James
Are you getting angry because he's telling you the truth?

Optimism is mindless positivity. An optimist would tell someone that they haven't wasted their lives when they have, or that things will magically get better on their own without you doing anything.

Wyatt Martinez
>Think back to the moments of true enjoyment in your life. Did they include that type of thing? Yes, I remember my favorite anime way better than achievements at school or sports things I won or whatever. And most people on this board aren't pathologically relaxed, they're trying to escape stress. Some of the most common dying regrets are "I wish I didn't work so hard" and "I wish I had let myself be happier"
Bentley Perez

Nolan Gray

This is defeatist bullshit user. Start interacting with good people.
Evan Hughes
Life isn't about enjoyment, you're both missing the point. Life is about creation and experiences, good and bad, that build you as a person.
Jacob Hernandez
>Some of the most common dying regrets are "I wish I didn't work so hard" and "I wish I had let myself be happier" True, but they usually mean when their work takes away from their family life. That's also a good thing to remember for anyone on this board who has children someday (and yes, some of you will).
Cooper Butler
>Life is about creation and experiences, good and bad, that build you as a person. I would also agree with this. I would rather spend one year in a Korean prison camp breaking rocks with a hammer than spend one year sat on my ass letting the hours dribble away.
Joseph Adams
It's mind candy. It hooks people up like sugar indeed. Some become obese others fix it asap
Thomas Walker
I don't give a shit what OP or anyone thinks. I like consuming my brainless media. I have a gf and i have other hobbies as well. But vidya, porn, and tv are not wastes of my time if i enjoy them.
Working an average full-time job is the biggest waste of time. Everyone tells me it's so great that i've been working 9-5 but i hate it and want to beat the fucking shit out of my boss and co-workers.
What is the point of shitting on people's past times when you're a literal cuck who loves spending your life away working?
Easton Brown
Life is about whatever you want it to be about.
You're right, real people are good for you. Porn is bad for you. But because it's exploitative, objectifying and addictive, not because it isn't real. There's no ultimate judge who's going to review your life and say "whoa that was boring."
Easton Nguyen

Also, women don't want you to interact with them at all, because you aren't what and who they want Why do you specifically have this problem? I'm guessing it ISN'T because you're a genetic failure and IS because you never TRY in the first place. If you never go outside and try you definitely will never make it. That goes for whether you're a genetic failure or a chad.
Christian Bennett
>This is defeatist bullshit user. Start interacting with good people.
It's not defeatist bullshit at all.
School-age children are MUCH MORE OPEN to friendship with new people than adults.
High-school age teenagers are MUCH MORE OPEN to friendship with new people than older adults.
High school and college age women are MUCH MORE OPEN to socializing with friends-of-friends and people on the fringes of their social milieu than women in their later 20's and 30's.
If when you were a school-age child and a teenager people didn't want to be your friend, they aren't going to magically want to be your friend now. If when you were in high school and college women thought you were beneath them, it's even more likely that they think it now.
Occasionally there are posts here where someone will talk about how their grandma always says things like "You're so handsome, how come you don't have a girlfriend?" and everyone laughs about how stupid and blind grandmas are to not be able to see really simple and obvious truths that everyone else sees. You're grandma-posting right now, dude.
David Stewart
>There's no ultimate judge who's going to review your life and say "whoa that was boring. Well only yourself. That's why fame, money and "success" are not the most important things in life. An extremely handsome millionaire might easily get to the end of his life and think "fuck, did I really make the most of that?" whilst a dirt-poor farmer might want to do it all again in exactly the same way.
Landon Price
If you interact with people first and invite them places they will say yes. Don't take the few times you thought people felt too busy for you as proof that socialising is out of the question for you. You're letting anxiety speak for you.
>You're grandma-posting right now, dude. go shit yourself
There is no turning back time. There were millions of opportunities but you never took them.
Jacob Richardson
>If when you were in high school and college women thought you were beneath them, it's even more likely that they think it now. I'm not trying to be an asshole here, user, but do you think that might be self-fulfilling prophecy?
Person goes into social interaction with the assumption it will go badly = social interaction almost guaranteed to go badly.
Person goes into social interaction with no expectations at all = there is a roughly equal chance of it going either way
Oliver Wood
This thread reminds me of when I was c. 20 years old and I used to wish so badly that I had done more in my teenage years to be open, to get fit, to ask out girls even if they would have rejected me, to be more social with people even if they might have mocked me back. In retrospect you realize that none of it matters. You had nothing at all to lose.
Now I think of who I'm going to be in five years and how I'll look back on myself now. Your older self will look back on you one day and judge your actions. I intend to look back on myself as I am now and be proud.
Daniel Davis
>I don't give a shit what OP or anyone thinks. You shouldn't, it's just another round of pretentious, regret-filled NEETs and wagecucks taking a break from misery to spout their "insights" to people they think will care. Find what you really love doing and everything else can follow. Enjoy all the "useless" entertainment you want in the meantime.
Jackson Bennett
Imagine you are old looking through an old style television in Black and White. What you are seeing is a recollection of the things you did in your life. You never took any chances, you were always the secluded one and you don't know how to speak to people that well. As the memories go by on that screen the TV morphs into previous iterations of itself until it's no more. You are facepalming. ''This is what I did? This is what made me, me' The infinite possibilities are over. You are a sad husk of a man now.
Anthony Myers
>Why do you specifically have this problem?
I can read the expressions people have when I try to interact with them, dude.
I'm not a NEET. I actually am somewhat successful. And when I deal with people ABOUT WORK, their facial expressions say "Sweet! user is here, helping me solve problems!" And when I interact with people on ANY BASIS OTHER THAN WORK, their facial expressions shift and I'm instantly Colin Robinson.
This is the problem with faggots like you. All you do is make assumptions about people instead of arguing points. The entire purpose of anonymity is to escape this type of arguing, the one where you don't actually argue anything and just call your opponent a loser. Ignoring that, you're still bringing to the table that you can only truly enjoy certain things, which is ridiculous because this type of thing is entirely subjective. With the internet it's extremely easy to see that people from different cultures enjoy different things. It doesn't matter what I enjoy, in the end I'm enjoying it. There's no difference between me watching anime or playing guitar, if I enjoy it then it's time well spent.
Michael Peterson
Your mothers spent years and years raising you with all these hopes for you and you waste it all. Kek. She must be so proud when she thinks about her little guy.
And I think you know it too for all this butthurt to be created.
I take it back user. You can't change yourself, you're a loser fuckup who can never be better or try harder. People will always look at you with disdain, there is no guy out there who could be your friend and no girl who could ever lower themselves far enough to even consider dating you. I respect how you accept your place in life, (which was reached totally because of your genetics and not because of any lack of effort on your part). Happy now?
goodbye t. dumb normalfag who used to be a robot NEET but is now a normie because wizard magic I guess
Owen King
>You are facepalming. ''This is what I did? This is what made me, me' The infinite possibilities are over.
What if people follow your advice, and swear off all entertainment - but then don't end up getting the "memorable experiences and relationships" you're insisting they'll get instead?
In that case, they'll be watching that black and white TV and realizing that the "infinite possibilities" that are now gone forever will be all the porn they could have watched, and didn't.
William Clark
Seconding this. After looking through the posts OP makes, I can't see anything other than an elitist generalizing people without realizing they have individual situations that make them unable to (for a lack of better phrasing) be """"normal"""". It's just an asshole trying to push his standards onto everyone like his judgment is the best. Big news, people like us have always existed. Nothing is going to change the human condition, not even humanity itself.
Brandon Brooks
If only that were my problem. My Mother is more than proud, but it's because I've wasted my teens and early 20s doing nothing but academic work so I can have a decent career. Now I'm an overweight, depressed, unhealthy, outcast virgin, who happens to have money and a proud family. Fucking hooray for me.
Ryan Miller
If you're a boring person, your life's going to be boring no matter what. Unlike you Mr UncreativeOP, I can sit on my ass watching people have fun and also have fun myself by writing creepy stories about their assumed love lives and such. Your life is boring because you're just a dull person, not because you don't go go go. There's a lot of go go goers out there that are quite bored as well.
>I respect how you accept your place in life, (which was reached totally because of your genetics and not because of any lack of effort on your part).
I don't know if I can tell you how it was reached.
I do know this, though: I have pretty carefully watched normies interacting with each other, for a very long time. I can remember doing so as far back as nursery school. And what I don't remember seeing - ever - was a a whole lot of "effort".
Kindergarten kids squealing and running around a playground together aren't "making an effort". They're just living. And the one or two kids on the margin who end up excluded from that don't get that way because they "aren't trying". It's something you either are, or aren't. Without effort, or not at all.
If it was a matter of effort, I'd have done it by now. The things that were open to effort I have pretty much always gotten done.
>Happy now?
This thread started with OP asking why robots get angry when confronted with certain arguments. I find myself wondering why YOU get angry when confronted with the argument that human beings have a limited number of "friend slots" to hand out and a limited number of "relationship slots" to hand out and that by a certain age most people's slots are filled up.

I hate my mother and hopes she dies in pain when that day comes. If she goes before me I'll piss on her grave.

Tyler Thompson
This thread is neat, but I like an active and calm life.
No idea why this is getting ignored. OP this is your answer. I would love to have a life filled with socializing, partying, having fun. But i cant because no one wants to do that with me. Ever since i was a kid i have always been the outcast wherever i was. The only choice i have in life is entertaining myself with solitary activities or not entertaining myself at all. I think you can understand why that choice is easy.
Juan Peterson
>Literally nothing bad can come of it. All my social experiences have ended up awkward and painful and done nothing but give me more bad memories to obsess over and make me hate myself even more. >Also, get a job if you can. Neets who say they're happy are liars. I have a job. I hate it. Not only does it take up most of my time it ruins what little it leaves me.
Owen Perry
Who are you to tell him his joy is any less than yours or some normie's joy? You could say that being rich and fameous is the ultamate happiness and anyone who isn't aspiring for that is being a "prisoner" of sorts. Get out of here with that subjective bullshit.
>No idea why this is getting ignored. OP this is your answer. I would love to have a life filled with socializing, partying, having fun. But i cant because no one wants to do that with me.

OP didn't TOTALLY ignore it - his retort elsewhere in the thread is that if you were always the outcast, it's because you didn't make enough of an effort.

Right, exactly. If people don't like you and you impose yourself on them to try to get them to like you, they make "that face". I'm sure most of you know the fact that I mean. The face you make when the guys in the pop-up cart in the hall at the mall run up on you and try to get you to take their survey or switch to their no-name wireless. That pinched expression where they are clearly wondering what statement or action on their part will get you to leave as quickly as possible.
