How do people watch Dragonball knowing they'll never be as strong as Goku?
>>
The pain hurts so good
>>
>>284499227
Eventually you stop caring because your whole life is built around being alone and you find comfort in it.

Goku couldn't beat my depression

>>284499227
By self-inserting as one and crushing on the other. It's really not that complicated. It's a vicarious pleasure.

Eventually the pain becomes background noise.

If i had a gf I would have no need to watch this stuff in the first place because I'd have the real thing.

>>284502441
What if your girlfriend wanted to watch Cardcaptor Sakura with you?
>>
>>284499227
By having taste enough to not watch CC.
>>
>>284499612
This, it's all I can do to feel anything anymore.
>>
>>284499227
The fact you have none of these can makes you stand watching these.
>>
>>284499227
Have they had sex yet?
And to answer your question, self inserting and feeling joy vicariously through the characters. It's the only way that's gonna happen becaitlse it ain't happening irl.

I don't. I gave up on anime depicting straight couples once I became an adult. I only like yuri romance now.
>>
>>284499227
Uh everyone had a cute romance as a kid.

Unless you were a total loser or surrounded by filthy black girls.
>>
>>284499227
We don't.

I dont understand why so many anons choose to obsess over that. Get a hobby, find some friends. Real homies are ten times better than fantasy romance that even normies only experience once in a blue moon.

Pic related, I have no expectations for this world, I just enjoy the fictional.
>>
I don't get triggered by seeing other people happy
>>
>>284500007
This. When I hit 30 I briefly tried finding a gf but I gave up when I saw the absolute state of dating apps and the one girl I met irl and actually cared about rejected me. I'd rather be alone than spend my time and energy chasing after roasties.

>>284505069
You will regret this decision when your parents both die and you become truly alone in this world.
>>
>>284505122
not him but i'm a KHV wizard and i haven't been happier since my parents died.
being alone isn't the worst fate for everyone.

ftfy
>>
>>284499227
Same way I can watch it without being a little girl with magical powers or a cute rich friend.
>>
>>284505122
Most people just get pets
>>
>>284505401
>Most people resort to cope
My point exactly.
>>
>>284505122
I'm not close with my parents and I never felt truly loved by them which is probably why I became such a fuckup in the first place.
>>
>>284505122
My parents keep whining to visit them, it's a pain in the ass I can't stand their company.
Being alone doesn't make everyone feel lonely, if anything for some people the opposite is true.
>>
>>284499227
Realise that if i really wanted a girlfriend i would've gotten one by now. The fact that staying home playing videogames, watching animu/mango, tinkering with electronics, designing stuff in CAD, going to the gym is infinitely more fulfilling and enjoyable to me, and the only time when i want a girl is when i watch an anime or manga with a lovey dovey relationship.
I mean how can I want something that i haven't experienced before? And if wanting is as low passion as "man i wish i had a gf" but no desire towards action or effort, do you really want something?
>>
>>284506282
"I guess I didn't want it enough" could be a cope. I.e. inaction out of fear or whatever, and justifying it after the fact with that.
Or it could be true. I'm not your psychologist or anything. Just saying that "I didn't want it enough" might not be a sufficient explanation for not having something despite (ostensibly) wanting it.
>>
>>284504655
Finding a real homie is almost as difficult as finding a gf
>>
>>284499227
How do people who can't use magic stand watching fantasy?
>>
>>284506428
How can people who can't fly enjoy bird watching?
>>
>>284506320
>"I guess I didn't want it enough" could be a cope. I.e. inaction out of fear or whatever
This is true, i have considered this possibility and probes my thoughts and feelings
It doesn't seem to be true in my case. I literally don't remember romantic relationships are something that people can have (and by extension something that i can have) unless i watch a romantic anime or read a manga. And even then the feeling is "i wish i had this" as a passing desire. Not "i want this, i gotta go out and approach women" or "I'm suffering because i don't have this"
An hour later i am completely obvious that romantic partners are an entity in this world
>>
>>284499281
but i will be as strong as goku
>>
>>284505122
>and you become truly alone in this world.
I will never be alone as long as I have 4chan
