>Evokes great emotion from you, be it happiness from the comedic moments, sadness from the melancholic moments or outright despair in those shocking moments.

>Ends with an extremely satisfying ending

>Get to see all the characters be happy and accomplished after all their struggles throughout the story

>Final scene is the protagonist looking forward to a bright future along with his love interest

>It ends and you go back to your normal life

>Then that feeling strikes you

>You will never have a thrilling life like the characters did

>Not even the simple bits where they would sit and joke around

>You will never live

I don't even want much but the second last point is all I ask for: comfortable moments with people you really care about and have a good time with, especially with a love interest with a mutual sense of love

Finished reading such a story and the first thing that popped in my mind was that it's close to bedtime and I'll be fapping to something as usual. Masturbating after experiencing an enriching story drives in the worst fact that my life is so trashy that I haven't lived at all. Plus, the final message of this story was that 'determination allows you to shape your own future', which is something I understand but cannot do since I am not passionately determined about any goal in my life.

Yeah I feel you anon. I really do.

I had the same feeling when I watched young justice and Free!, I felt really crushed knowing that I had never and will never have a circle of friends like that. I'm in uni now but I still think a lot about high school, how alone I was all the time. I'm not a social retard but I just find most people predictable, and very few people interest me genuinely.

OP here, just finished masturbating for over 2 hours. I feel sick of myself as usual.

Not if you have a shit attitude and just cry online. Better yourself.

That kind of stuff never actually happens in real life to anyone. You're basically asking for impossible. Love a shit, thrilling life a shit. Sitting in front of the computer and masturbating is the pinnacle of REAL human life.

Real life does not measure up to a story handcrafted by a skilled writer?

Wow, I'm fucking blown away here.

Then why do liars always say, "truth is stranger then fiction" and other such nonsense? It wouldn't be so bad if people didn't pretend like life is some grand adventure that's on par with any work of fiction, rather than something boring and stagnant for most.

Then maybe it's a problem with you and not media. Just maybe.

>>115328

Because reality is stranger. More entertaining? Maybe.

It just means that things happen in real life that nobody can come up with. Like McCarthy being right or that whole bullshit with Benghazi.

The saying doesn't mean that real life is more fun than fiction. After all, fiction is shaped by the world around us.

Arcanine 03/13/16 (Sun) 01:41:15 No.115334

I want this to be why I stopped going near fiction, but the real reason is that I am completely baffled by the characters and any subtlety by the writer.

Why do you insist on sabotaging yourself anon? You are accomplishing nothing with your life besides perpertuating your self-fulfilling prophesy of misery and gloom.

Maybe if you tried pulling your head out of your ass you might find that life isn't really as bad as you seemingly insist on thinking that it is.

After watching the characters go through a lot, it's nice to see that their struggles result in happiness, I'm a sucker for that but I don't mind sad endings, as long as their done right and have a point to them, because I've some which are sad just for the sake of being so and feel pretty lame.

>>115307

>Better yourself.

How? Heck in college I speak with my classmates but I feel that we're so different that no deep bond will result from any of it. Plus I'm the only foreigner in the class and they speak the local language to each other, which I don't understand. I have good friends from school but they're all in different parts of the world for college. Never had a female friend though.

>>115475

It's not always that I feel this gloomy or even post it on /r9k/. My life as it is, plainly average, which itself I understand isn't bad but the sense of no motivation or determination keeps me from putting in any real effort I know I can.

Initially came here because of my Dad's job and heck when I began college I never really felt like going to it in the first place so learning the local language was something I didn't want to do, plus it was difficult with the added stuff I have to do because of college. Just here to do my 4 years and I'm out. People here talk normalfag plebshit and even ask me if see it. Few times I even heard them talk about years old memes and watch them on their laptops.
