What I mean by this is - is it better to embrace what hand god gave you or still do all the performative masculinity shit?

My hand:
> 5 6
> skinny , woman 5-6" in bone structure so its not even like I could get wicked strong if I bulked up
> glasses
> stutter to boot that kills all attraction once it happens
> Not white , not black either but a shade of brown
> low confidence due to being mocked and humiliated , i dont think its autism but just a learned avoidance at this point.
> soft voice , not gay but sounds gay to many peoples approximation

Going into 2026:
> trying to change as many of these as possible , looksmaxx, grow out a beard (I have some genes for it), maybe some test despite being in my twenties to deepen some voice and gym maxx

But in my heart of hearts , no matter the work I put in, I will never be taken seriously given whats fundamentally underlying wrong with me (immutable traits) and that begs the question if this is all futile and I should just embrace being a reject?

I could have jumped over that chair as a kid. When I was in 6th grade I used to jump over people's garbage cans when walking home. The big green or brown ones that are like 4-4.5 ft tall. And I was only like 4'7" at the time. Bill Gates never had any athletic ability

why is it that when I ask a question that clearly operates on an underlying premise or piece of knowledge, the immediate response from the other person is to tell me that prior information that’s driving my question, as if my understanding of that fact isn’t already implied by the existence of my question and thus can be reasonably assumed by the other person?
Like do people think questions just pop into people’s heads out of nothing?
>>
>>34095750
>e do people think questions just pop into people’s heads out of nothing?
Your average normie, the everyday people you come into contact with, are barely sentient. Their thoughts are no deeper than pond scum or the wrapping on a piece of candy. Their intellectual process is absolutely what is directly in front of them and their minds are only able to thing about that one thing. The average modern-day human being's brain isn't much different than a dog's.

>>34095750
I assume you're referring to people online - they have no context, no nothing prior to your question. And if you ever dealt with costumers in costumer service you'll know that people can surprise you with just how stupid they can be. So in the name of being complete, and making sure that you understand everything, they tell you that prior information, assuming about you that you don't know it

Either that, or they don't care about you / the question too much and they just want to type something, so instead of being helpful they just type what comes to mind which is usually during the "ah, gotcha!" moment

>>34096038
Also seconding this guy, you're autistic

>>34095750
Because they're questioning your premise. If you say to me "Have you stopped being a serial killer?" it's necessary for me to say "That question implies that I was a serial killer at some time in the past - and since I wasn't, I can't give you a yes or no answer." Your assumption is obvious; but it may be wrong.

I used to think the same way, but there are verses in the bible that celebrate unions.
I just think God wants both genders to kill their lust among many other sins, like pride, envy, and strife, so that they can have a stable marriage.
But it's very hard to find a woman who is willing to sacrifice especially in this day and age, chances are there are more such men, rather than women.
I don't think it's fair to pin point it on women as a whole, but it is simply the state of the world we should hate.
I don't think it's fair to call women easily manipulated by Satan when there are many men in positions in power, who are also used as his pawns just as easily. Including young men

Again, depends on the man. There are men who want a mommy figure that will yank the steering wheel. The woman has to choose the guy and be able to give him what he wants makes a relationship function. Trying to pretend that there's a feminist sisterhood or redpill brotherhood iis foolish.

Romans 8:28
>That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good. (MSB)

It doesn't say all things are good that happens in our lives. But that all things are worked into something good. Like tapestry when its woven. It looks like a messy confusion in the back of it. Like utter chaos and frustration. But, the front is usually a masterpiece when its all said and done.

i wont say how , but essentially I've become somewhat a bitcoin millionaire equivalent within my career field through some clever plays and ventures. I thought I did a good job of keeping it under wraps but some characters are starting to come out of the woodwork of my past that has me thinking life.

I've lived in this city my whole life, but to be honest I've been nothing but humiliated, mocked, laughed at, etc. I'm a quintessential short nerd btw and still incel at 30 so I have some other problems at work probably but really I just kept my head down. Sure I've met some decent people over these years but these last few years, I don't know what happened but a really obnoxious and toxic vibe took over my social interactions. I did my best to be kind to everyone and still, people just discarded me.

So far I've kept my cool and just playing the polite and humble card with stuff like this. But what should I do with my life with regards to living space if you were me. Ultimately this place was home for like 25 damn years, im seeing calls to "invest in my community" - but I've seen the faces of these people when I was down and I'm going "wtf do I owe these shitheads for?"

But then simultaneously im like - I'm probably lowkey autist or something , how much can I really blame em?

I do like the weather here and its a great place to financially retire if that makes sense but so are many other places. Should I start fresh in a new community? Or is it worth becoming a bit of a local personality, there are some good kids here coming up - it would be hella nice to do something for them or mentor a bit, but again - when you've been bullied , you know the damn feeling - it doesn't feel like forgiveness , it feels like capitulation by still sticking around at the scene of the crime.

im thinking of moving to singapore for a bit to chill out for now, but long term... choices..choices

Besides running or avoiding attacks intelligently and using mental tricks, what martial arts do you recommend? I was thinking about jiu-jitsu, but I went to some classes and it didn't give me the confidence I need. I was thinking more about striking, like karate or kickboxing, but they say karate is useless on the street

I have visions, hear voices, experience hallucinations and feel like I am slowly losing grip on reality. I don't use drugs and I haven't been hit on the head. I have a hard time distinguishing what's real and what isn't. Simple things like watching a branch from a twig would somehow be a bad omen that something bad would happen to my parents for example. Or that there is someone always watching and whispering in my ear. And I cannot help but always be paranoid that someone on the street will stab me in the back

Please help me. I just want to be normal again

You should talk to a psychiatrist, or possibly a neurologist. Try the psychiatrist first.

Ok. Picture this. You are a 19yo neet who never had a bf and you find 4Chan. You use it for a few moths and find a bf on Atoga. He is the coolest, cutest, most handsome, smart and funny guy. Problem: he is 9 years older than you and lives in another country.

He comes visit, gives you your first kiss, you fuck, he meets your parents and everything is amazing.

So... what is the problem? We are engaged kinda. And I feel like I am not mature, smart or cool enough for him. I don't even even look pretty. I want to be the woman he deserves. I feel like he might feel sorry for me or something. He loves me rn but Im scared he will get tired of me in no time after I live with him.

I need to become better: glow up, be wiser, more educated, cool, classy, etc. Im currently studying how to develop apps at a pre-uni at my country. I want to move there with him once I finish. By the time that happens I need to improve so much.

Give me advice to be the best gf/wife I can please. I think I need to:
1) Know about lots of topics (kill my naiveness)
2) Find my style and be cooler
3) Grow up and stop being so immature.

I just don't get why he likes me so much. Please help me. Im so sad rn. He deserves way better than me. I love him so much.

How long have you had this? Does it change with the seasons? How much time do you spend on the computer/internet/social media? If you’re under 45, there’s a good chance you’ve friend your dopamine on short form content like TikTok. But if you’re in the northern hemisphere and this just started getting worse over the last few weeks, it’s probably seasonal affective disorder kicking in. If so, take vitamin d and fish oil

Is there a safe way to exercise my fingers for typing?

For as long as I can remember, I can't type for more than 20 minutes total a day... A DAY... before my fingers start to feel tired.

Like I can feel the muscles in my wrists get sore and my fingers just give out and don't want to move anymore. Literally they just stop moving. And the more I push myself beyond that point the more I fuck up my fingers.

And yes I type placing my hands above the keyboard with my elbows by my side and sit upright with the keyboard never going above my waist.

And even then my fingers still get fucked.

What do I do?

I don't quite have the same problem as you but getting an ergonomic keyboard has helped me
the two sides are split in the middle and curve inwards so there's less wrist movement and it disincentivizes moving one hand to the other half of the keyboard which makes me faster and less fatigued

DON'T GO TO THERAPY

studies show therapy makes people ruminate and fixate on their problems, often making them worse

not to mention many therapists work under a psychiatrist and is seeking to push medications on you

don't ever take an ssri or maoi

if you need immediate depression relief there are ketamine microdose treatment centers that will give you immediate relief, unlike an ssri which takes weeks to have an effect and messes up your brain permanently for the rest of your life

READ THE BIBLE

>Firstly, there's no data to support this claim
it's an fda approved treatment with lots of data behind it, lying sack of shit
>>
>>34095708
Firstly,

>Ketamine is not FDA approved for the treatment of any psychiatric disorder. FDA is aware that compounded ketamine products have been marketed for a wide variety of psychiatric disorders (e.g., depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and obsessive-compulsive disorder); however, FDA has not determined that ketamine is safe and effective for such uses.

This is directly from the FDA website. Secondly, the sources that I found that said Ketamine was an approved treatment in some clinics cited that it was not physician recommended as a first medication but rather as a last ditch alternative for hard to treat depression if other more traditional methods had been tried first. It also was not recommended for long term use and cited "limited data" to support its efficacy.

I always find it bizarre when people are so uneducated about their own opinions. You're so excited to hop on whatever anti-establishment bandwagon your favorite anime forum tells you to that you don't even bother researching a topic that apparently you feel SO strongly about. Fucking embarrassing to be this much of a brainlet.

im not OP but to play devils advocate, isn't he just suggesting framing life as if it were a video game.

>>
>>34095052
It's more complicated than that. Compare your life's progression to that of an RPG. How much do you need to grind? What do you need to do to gather the materials you need? How difficult is the zone you're in where these items are needed? Now thing about this in terms of real life where you don't have stat upgrades or magical abilities to aid you in this process. What do you have to do to achieve what you need? How much time will it take? It can't be done in a few hours, or a day, or weeks. Unlike a game, there's a real chance that no amount of grinding will ever get you where you need to be. Life isn't a game and pretending that it is will put you through unnecessary hardship.
