How I can change myself, not as a person but how I can make myself not so afraid to make moves forward. (In relationships and such)

Kinda pathetic, I love my life and the people around me but I hate myself. How does one solve self hatred without therapy or pills? I'm not too keen on either of those. I don't want to be put on tons of medication like my mother, she's a real wreck sometimes. It's a shame too.

I also think about what I could have done better with certain people. Great people that have slipped away due to my wrecklessness in relationships, both friendships and intimate relationships. I guess I feel like they're better because they're gone and human tendency leads me to want what I can't have. Who knows.


 No.2695

Although nobody would ever expect it from me in reality, I involuntary fantasize about moments of tenderness with a girl at night. No lewd stuff, just things like hugging, touching, lying next to each other. I'm not looking for it in reality, I think really striving for it would lead me to something bad. From my experience, girls want to be treated roughly and being subtle they interpret as a sign of weakness. So I drift away at night into this tender escapism and fulfill my desires, while during the day I'm more closed

I think I'm better off this way. Another way of suppressing it is to play with a cat or a small dog, stroke its back etc. express your warmth this way and then you feel cleansed and can better focus only on things that are constant, down-to-earth and in the physical realm.

After all, I think tumblr people are right about gender identity not being something clear cut. I have a lot of aspects of character that probably count as feminine. I would never consider playing with my gender using drugs etc. that's a horrible idea in my opinion (or maybe I just don't have as many feminine characteristics as people who destroy their organism with hormone therapy)

 No.2812

I suppose lately I haven't been thinking as much as I used to. Ever since I started dating Allison the way I've lived my life has kind of changed.

When I was 15, which honestly is the furthest back that I can really remember myself developing any real conscious thoughts, I used to fantasize about my future, leader of an anarchist revolutionary army against the oppressive totalitarian United States government. I started fantasizing about this after watching Code Geass lol.

I remember I drafted a whole plan. I would establish internet contacts in North Korea (through what channels we'd communicate i dont know maybe darkweb? lol), and then they would infiltrate the DPRK government and on the side recruit a team of disgruntled DPRK citizens to join a guerrilla army. After this, a war would be started, and eventually I would lead the army (wearing a mask, concealing my identity of course) to Pyongpang, killing Kim Jong Un himself.

After this, I would establish a pseudo-democratic government in the DPRK, and pretend to disband the military. However, I would conduct a secret invasion of South Africa, and my army would make its way North until we toppled over all the corrupt and weak african governments.

We'd then move to gain control of South america, europe, and finally the USA.

MEANWHILE:

while this whole thing is going on, I'm running for president in america. I win (easy for me, hoho) and am publicly opposed to the army mysteriously trying to take over the world. then suddenly, one night, i unveil myself on television as the leader of the army, after a dramatic speech.

After this, I'd tell the world of my plan: complete self governance. Absolute freedom for every man, woman, and child. I used to think i would ppick random sections of the world to try different economic systems (Ex. Neo-marxism in germany, rothbardian capitalism in Canada, American style democracy in Greece) but I leaned more towards anarchism over time.

When I was 17, I kind of forgot all about that stuff. I was lonely and depressed. My best friend was sick, and he wasnt online enough for me to have consistent chats with. I thought about how lonely I was, how much I would love to have a girl, any girl in my life. I was 17 and had never so much as kissed a girl. I felt more sad about it than anything.

Caroline was who I thought about the most. It was painful. I would chide myself for never being able to consistently bring myself to talk to her. I was (and to a degree, AM) convinced I was in love with her. I thought about going on dates, making her laugh, trading back and forth witty banter. This was a girl who I hadn't really spoken to too much.

>>2813

I remember late nights PLEADING with myself to work up the courage to ask her to prom. I would flip coins and say "If heads, ask her tomorrow. If tails, I wait another day." Regardless of the outcome, I would wait.

I found out from my friend Ed that Caroline was going to prom with an out of towner. I felt as if I had blown my chance forever. I ended up going to prom with a random girl who I had been kinda friendly to over the past year. She was hot, a /fit/ mulatto girl. We danced all night. After prom we never spoke again.

In the last 2 months of the school year, after pulling some cosmic strings (i had casted sigils (/fringe/) saying that i wanted to be friends with Caroline, and talk to her more in the future, and date a girl LIKE her). I ended sitting with her, her best friend, and one of my best friends at a table in math. We all gelled very well and Caroline and me became friends.

On the last day of school, I swore to myself I would ask Caroline out. i didn't

2 days later, a girl named Allison, who I had always admired but had not spoken to that often, asked me out on a date over facebook messenger. Allison was on my shortlist of girls I would like to date before that, so of course I said yes.

(sorry for taking up the thread, I needed a place to spill my thoughts and the OP's prompt kind of made me let loose)

A year later, I'm still dating Allison. I think I might love her. I have been telling her I loved her for a couple months now, but I'm not completely sure if I do. We are too different from each other to really be on each other's wavelengths. Still, the good times I have with her are great, and being her boyfriend has improved my social life a bunch. I still think about Caroline all the time, and I still talk to her occasionally (she's friends with Allison so I see her around)

My friend Cam actually asked Caroline to prom this year and is trying to date her. He comes to me for advice. I give it. I hope he fails, even though I know I shouldn't. I can't get over her. I don't know whats wrong with me

At night, I used to stress about these things. I still think about Caroline at night time to time, but usually these days I find myself in a state of waking sleep. Browsing site to site, clicking links on 8chan or reddit or halfchan, scrolling through Facebook or twitter or instagram, checking my snapchat etc.

I preoccupy myself with stimuli so I don't have to think. So I don't have to self reflect. Why?

What could I possibly be hiding from myself? That I'm not as smart or as interesting as I think I am? That all my problems in my life are easily fixable and could be if I actually tried to fix them? That I enjoy being persecuted because it gives me license to sit back and complain and let others sympathize with me while I do no work? That i'm still scared of genuine human contact despite being able to look into my girlfriend's eyes and tell her I love her, something which may not be true.

Ahh man, I'm rambling here. I don't know what to say. I wish I had the effort to learn how to fix myself. I might not be as broken as I used to be, or I might just be actively attempting to ignore how broken I am. I don't know. Maybe I'm fine. Maybe I'm just harping on myself because it's a trope in movies or anime or whatever that whenever a character reflects on himself it comes out negative. Whatever.

I have trouble sleeping. It's 3:41 AM. I won't be going to sleep for another 2 hours. I got up at 930 yesterday. I am tired.

I often think about just what the hell am I. Am I actually human? Am I just merely nothing more than some sort of camcorder disguised as a human whose purpose is to record the experiences of all of humanity to some alien species I will ever meet? Why, out of all the eras of time, do I exist now? Why can I not experience the other things that other people have? Is it just bad luck, or is there something more going on, something that I can't possibly comprehend with my own mind?

At this point, I've grown numb from trying to figure it all out, trying to figure out just what my purpose is. Maybe in the end, I don't really have a purpose, and my own existence is just completely random. Even so, I would still love to place my mark that will help guide others when I inevitably perish. Even if I cannot help someone in my own life, I can at least help someone out after I die. That is more than I can truly ask for. I just wonder if all of my trials and tribulations to understand the steps to create a more peaceful world was all for naught, because in the end all that truly mattered was the one golden rule.

I just wonder if all of the mistakes I've made added to something more than just becoming a shut-in who's bitter with everything and everyone. I just want to be able to create and be happy again. To be able to create stories that grips people, makes them laugh and cry, angers them as a villain escapes with his deed unpunished, cheer as the hero manages to escape doom and save the day at the very last second. If only I could go back to the past and warn my younger self about all of this. Maybe I would have been able to do so much more. And yet without all this, I would not be as wise as I am now.

My sleepless nights overall? Just me thinking about how I can help people in my sorry state of affairs.

>I often think about just what the hell am I. Am I actually human? Am I just merely nothing more than some sort of camcorder disguised as a human whose purpose is to record the experiences of all of humanity to some alien species I will ever meet?

i have felt similar, living feels like looking through a camcorder while wearing a heavy wetsuit made of meat. how did reality come in to existence; is life an unnoted mistake by some greater intelligence? if there was something that purposely created reality then what is the point of life? is there really such a thing as bad and good? i try to atone for what i have done to others by being the best friend i can be. even then it is taken for granted; people treat others like a form of entertainment and discard you when they become bored. its hell, hating others and wanting to talk to them at the same time. i don't complain because its exactly what i deserve. my mind has been dulled from some chemical abuse to escape; its eroding my memory. i forget my name, i can not imagine images, and forget i am even human. my only solace is standing outside at night during a fullmoon and cold weather while smoking and drinking some cold tea; i hope there is an afterlife because i would like to do that forever. realistically, i believe that reality is cruel enough for an afterlife to be just a wishful dream. good luck trying to find someone worth helping; i really do mean that.

>good luck trying to find someone worth helping; i really do mean that.

One of my biggest issue is that I'm focused too much on trying to help others. Like I feel like if I'm not part of some huge movement that promises to do something, I feel like I'm doing nothing more than leeching off of others.

I was hoping something like social justice would be the key, but not only did I not end up helping anybody, but I ended up in a worse state than I was before.

There are times that I can basically just forget everything and enjoy life but other times I just end up ruminating and just realize that I've helped very few people in my life. If I could just stop making myself feel so guilty over this, I would be so much better off.

You won't be able to help anyone if you can't help yourself; it sounds like you want to be a writer in your previous post, why not give that a shot? That could help you while also making others happy with what you can create, at best you could leave your mark by inspiring others with your writing. You sound like you know what makes a good story.

>You sound like you know what makes a good story.

A lot of people have said that about me, and I did used to love writing, but a lot of things happened that made me fall out of love with it.

It's a clusterfuck of things that made me disillusioned, the one of the biggest is that I was really into social justice and I thought writing stories for the sake of social justice was something I would love to do. But after seeing just how completely flawed the entire social justice scene is I guess you could say I just had a hard time finding any other reason to write.

I know a lot of people have said to write for myself, and I even keep saying that to myself but after spending so long thinking that I had to write for the sake of others I find it extremely hard to do so.

I actually really envy a lot of writers who write their own self-insert mary sue fanfiction. Yeah, it maybe complete crap but at least they're creating something and having fun with it and aren't constantly saddled with the guild of thinking like they have to write for some greater cause or whatever.

I guess another thing is that with dealing with social justice and writing, it seemed like all anybody cared about was ideas, not characters or plot or anything else about writing or creating.

Someone could be congratulated for thinking about progressive idea about a character or story and how it relates to whatever type of oppression or representation... but never about the execution of the character or the story. It was always about discussing concepts, never about the actual damn craft itself.

It caused me to basically believe that everything I learned about writing was nothing more than a waste of time. I mean, why bother trying to learn how to improve your writing for creating better representation when all I had to do all along was to spew some buzzwords and hope I get enough people riled up to donate to me?

And then when people do make the super progressive story they've been asking for... they tear it down and call you scum. Seeing how people become a hero one day and a pariah the next just for one mistake is just... I just think about how much I wasted the past ten years of my life thinking I wanted to be a part of that.

No, I have no intention of going full /pol/ or whatever. I'm just completely discouraged that's all. I've been trying to get out of my rut but it's been going so slow that I just wonder if I ever will get out of this rut, or wonder what it is I'm doing wrong.

I had a long post but it's not posting but the tl;dr version is that I want to help myself but I feel guilty for focusing on myself when there's too much shit going on in the world that needs fixing and I honestly think that it's sometimes better if I just burn myself out in full glory in a vain attempt to help a cause than to focus on bettering myself.

i am sure you had nothing but good intentions wanting to be a part of a group like that but modern social justice is nothing but a pissing contest, its full of people who are like spoiled children. even if you give them everything they want, they'll never be happy and will continue to keep asking for more. i can relate to what you're feeling though, before i fucked up my brain i was a decent artist; i am a perfectionist when it comes to my own art, which you could imagine is very counterproductive. if it was not perfect it was trash, i caved in one day and accepted my current skill at the time and started selling paintings at anime and comic conventions so i could afford more supplies to keep my hobby. i was good enough to sell over $500 worth of paintings each time, i sold things that would normally be priced at $100 for as low as $30 because i didn't care about the money. i was not happy doing it because i knew i could do better; over time i noticed everyone treated creating art more like work that should be avoided at all costs, these people were at most above average skill but acted like they were masters and should be treated as such. it was depressing and disgusting, to them it was only something they did for attention and/or money; it was inspiring seeing people with nearly no skill confident enough to try selling their art at these conventions, i would make just enough money to make more paintings then spend the rest buying their art. i have not drawn in years; talking with you though, i am considering it. it will be more difficult since i cant think as well but maybe i can show another person losing hope that not everyone is in it for the money or attention. life is full of regrets, you will stay in the same situation trying to impress those people. in my opinion you should not write for terrible people like the social justice community. write what you want to see, if you cant do that then write for the people like yourself.

Nothing usually. I tend to fill my head with the thoughts and worries of others rather than my own because I've only very recently developed a sense of self. Whenever I do take time for myself I'm usually struck with awe at how lost I am and how almost everyone else I have ever encountered is just as lost. The heavily ordered world that I saw as a child is being slowly revealed as the tangled mess that it actually is and I don't know whether this is a relief or a reason to panic. A part of me is saying that this should be fixed and that I should have a hand in it but another side is telling me to just block everything out and to let it all collapse into itself as I sqeeze it for all the pleasure that it can give me. I probably sound like a child right now but I needed to put my thoughts down somewhere.

No, I feel the same kind of angst. Ought I to 'serve' the world somehow, or is it better to keep my head down and just try to find a way to be happy in it? And supposing I do devote myself to some greater cause, how can I truly know what I'm doing is right, when I'm limited by my own narrow perspective? I guess that's the trap of postmodernist thinking.

thinking about how i need to actually use my time instead of idling on the net 24/7...

i dont want to numb myself but again and again i find myself sitting in my same clothes at 5 am smoking a cigarette and asking myself the age old question: why am i doing this

sometimes i feel that ive become addicted to pulling all-nighters. i like the feeling of sleep deprivation mixed with coffee, tobacco and ephedrine... i nod out in class and it's a heavenly feeling. though it's been getting better lately i'm not the sort of person that gets up in the morning. i'm late to school everyday, sometimes skipping classes.

i wish i had a hobby. starting out is the biggest hassle of all. once you get momentum going its smooth sailing i know that but theres somehting inside of me that draws me back again and again to numb myself with the same old shit that ive been doing for the past 4 years.

life is so boring. sometimes i daydream about becoming a street racer or doing urban exploring or spraying graffiti. i think how cool of a life i could have and the bittersweet feeling hits me just before i have to get off the bus.

i have made so many plans and so many time scedules to organize my life... more than i even care to count. why wont i just do it? theres nothing stopping me. is this what they call addiction?

i need to get my ass up. i need to just take the initiative. lord grant me strenth for i am but a walking shell
