Is there any hope for humans anymore? I just want to be a better me in a better world without all this negativity and nonsense.
>>32433996So saying this as a misanthropy and a Christian I can maybe just let go of my family and anyone I disliked without fear of being sent to hell?>>32434019So I should pray then?
>>32433680the world is improving and getting better around you everyday, stop listening to chuds on this website who want you to wallow in misery with them and paint human progress as >le r*ddit. negativity captures attention, its a psychological human response. the mainstream media knows this, grifters know this, and when your attention is their commodity they will do anything they can to maintain it. stop giving them what they desire and tune them out already.
>>32434254So why are you here then?
>>32433680>Is there any hope for humans anymore?Yes >I just want to be a better me in a better world without all this negativity and nonsenseCan't have better worldCan have better you

How do I get the most out of my extreme BPD as a man?Where could I apply it for my benefit, completely egotistical or monetary or wholesome or whatever?Since I couldn't get rid of BPD I'll just have to be smart about it and stop pretending I don't have to deal with itI'm very functional and have no problems socializing when I need it, but socializing just doesn't work for me (discouragingly boring) when I'm trying to maintain it like a normaltypical neurofag would, so my social life is normally next to nonexistent, which feels like a void
Is is possible to lead a fulfilling and rewarding life as a 163cm guy?It feels like the world hates manlets, lookism lingo going mainstream makes the hate even worseIt just feels so grim out there I live in Australia and get height mogged by the average zoomer (I’m 25)Idk it’s just hard to shut it out completely, I don’t want to be bitter but it’s clear being a short guy in the west is just life on hard mode
>>32434790>>32434541Please stop being retarded holy fuck>just be Tom cruise broYeah no he’s a fucking millionaire and blew up before major heightism holy fuck>in the real world it doesn’t even matterYeah you hear that OP you may be the size of a well fed toddler but it doesn’t matter okay!? People can’t tell you’re 5’3 just be confident and smile!1I’m so fucking sick of the gaslighting
>>32434835>blew up before major heightism holy fuckAre you fucking retarded? Do you really think "heightism" is a recent phenomenon? Women have always preferred taller men. No one is more discriminatory towards your own height than yourself. Get over it dude.
>>32434835The best part of this mentality is that I don't have to do anything or wish for anything. You are already living in a hell of your own creation. For me to get my revenge, I just need you to go outside and just glance at a taller dude. You're a joke. Keep seething.
Idk how you can't just get an Asian gf I thought Australia was full of Asians. Anyway, your best bet would be to SEAmaxx. I am a 173 cm América and no American woman has ever shown interest in me and I know it's my face cause I'd say I am pretty good looking otherwise. I had to geomaxx just to experience love and sex, but it was worth it. Go where you are wanted.

What am I supposed to do with this life?I like NEETing but feel like I need an aim.Something life-affirming. Do you just really pick something at random?
>>32435078Take the time to explore different things to find some interests.
>>32435084>>32435119These, there’s nobody you need to be, op. You aren’t being graded except on how good a person you are.Take it easy, man. And don’t forget we’re all here to die, nothing you do truly matters anyway.
>>32435078I think it really is a simple formula of just finding something you are good at and enjoy that people need and pursuing that in a way that makes money. It is different for each person which is why it takes a lot of research and introspection to figure out.I am in a similar position though, figuring stuff out. I am reading a career guide ("80000 hours") and probably gonna do the jordan peterson journalling thing where you write about your future. I have heard these are helpful to figuring things out.>What am I supposed to do with this life?Since you put it like this, maybe you also want to look into religion.>>32435132>nothing you do truly matters anyway.Dude your life and everything around you matters so much, we can't even comprehend it.
>>32435078>Do you just really pick something at random?you look inward and discover the seed of your life purpose. then you give it the space it needs to grow and it will grow on its own.
>>32435084>>32435119>>32435132Idk who you guys are replying to. I am taking it easy everyday, I'm a neet.
Why do humans value social status so much? Especially at work? Why can't they just do what they like, why must they seek recognition for something as arbitrary as a title for example? It's like their whole lives depend on it.
Because we're social animals accustomed to tribal living and titles give imaginary stepping stones that stroke our egos and give us a clear rank and file? The general line of thought is the higher up the imaginary totem pole you are, either via work titles, ownership titles, or family heritage, the more desireable and virtuous you are. Like the gymbros who eye each other lifting ever-heavier weights. However, as you embody here, the weight of a title needs to be recognized by both parties for it to carry weight. Likewise, the bestower of the title needs to be recognized by all parties as worthy of bestowing. Aristotle touches on this in Nicomachean Ethics.Personally, I could not give less of a fuck about titles, but I'm not terribly ambitious. If someone exhibits talent or knowledge greater than my own, I can respect that and don't care what you call yourself.
How can I just join a monastery? I'm in America. In my late 20s. I don't know if there is too much of a culture for that or how it works. Places I find seem like its mostly a tourist experience. I also find the more grandiose protestant american style a little off putting. I'm not sure what options I have. Should I leave? How do I go to another country with this as my intent?
>>32434556In*
>>32434476>if the old thing you hear of still exists where you can just show up at a monastery with nothing and they'll house you and you can become a monktotally free from step one? that never existedmonkhood makes you go through discernment/postulancy or novitiate, and three years of doing work and not breaking oaths before you get solemn profession status and they have to support you
>>32434520I'm sorry you feel that way sir.>>32434555Thanks. Yeah I'm not too smart. You're right.>>32434556I'm dont know enough to have a strong preference.>>32434580And during those three years you must support yourself and live on your own then?
>>32434267Elijah?
>>32434433you don’t have to be a priest to be a monk.
Long story short, I've dedicated my whole adult life to my career, now holding a managerial role with close ties to my company's executive committee. To get here, I chose to stay single and even burned bridges with family and friends.Recently, though, I've been questioning it all. A close colleague, who worked directly under the CTO and was with the firm for nearly 20 years, was abruptly fired after a minor disagreement. Seeing someone so loyal and experienced dismissed so easily made me realize how fragile my own position is. If that happened to me, I don’t know if I could recover. It's left me feeling nihilistic about all the sacrifices I made for my career.I can buy any car I want, own the latest phones and gadgets, dine at the finest restaurants, and even pay for the company of the most expensive escorts. Yet, none of it fills the void. I’ve achieved what most would call success, but it feels hollow. Every purchase, every indulgence, is just a fleeting distraction from the emptiness that lingers. The more I have, the more I realize how little it all means. What’s the point of all this wealth and status if, at the end of the day, I still feel utterly alone and unfulfilled?

How to cure binge eating disorder/food addiction? Its ruining my life and my health
>>32433827>Now and thenYou have to be consistent you fat lazy fuck
>>32433855Shut up. Youre not helping. I count calories for some weeks then i stop because i end up binging and see no point because i ate all calories i wasnt supposed to eat this week. Then i stop for a week or two or go again. Binge eating is mental not a lack of self discipline
>>32433963I'm on the same boat as you mate. The longest I went without binge eating was like 3 to 4 months. I went on a strict diet and avoided trigger foods (for me, fast food and other fried foods). Then I broke it because of a special event and I haven't come out of the binge eating hell for a whole year. Fatter than I have ever been in my life.Just yesterday I got enough will power to try again. I ate according to my calorie limit. Now I just need to keep going. Here's hoping this time's the one. One day at a time. One moment at a time. No need to think about the future. Just now it's all that matters and now I can control my actions. Hope it helps a little.
>>32434037Good luck friend. I have like weeks where i can resist and then i go bac k to it. And it continues like that. I Lose some weight then add it all again.
>>32433794Simply be hungry instead of eating
Is the secret to being confident and fitting into society just viewing everyone else as beneath you? I'm tired of being talked over
>>32430692Honestly if you can make eye contact and not say erm or ums to fill space then people will assume you are somewhat confident
technically, bigotry has been had highest rates of success for an ideology's basis. why not??? it's pretty indomitable.
>>32430692>beneath youNoI don't think other people are beneath me I just see no reason to consider their opinions about my choices unless I asked for it.
>>32430804the problem with that pic is that its impossible to stay motivated to do all that shit indefinetly. i do all that shit and nothing changes so i stop because whats the point of putting in effort if nothing changes?
>>32430692>Is the secret to being confident and fitting into society just viewing everyone else as beneath you?Nah that makes you a cunt. Instead:Know what you want, take steps to obtain it, and what you want should include the well being of trustworthy people around you.
I've been dating this woman for five years, probably gonna marry her. I have a pretty niche fetish I want to incorporate into our sex lives, but I have no idea how to share it.It's not something illegal, painful, or like morally uncomfortable for her, nor does it involve other people or anything like that. It's more just something that is kind of weird and embarrassing for me. She's not a prude and I don't think would judge me, but she's not the most adventurous sexual partner either. Any advice or related experiences?

What is the best way to cope with having an unattractive phenotype?
>>32434876Not caring about it and not letting it stop you from doing anything.
>>32434876Have goals and interests that aren't gated by your appearance.Are you going to do that or are you going to habitually complain about how your goals don't match your abilities?
>>32434876Honestly? The sooner you accept you can't change that, the sooner you find out a way to balance it. It's okay to be ugly, friend. I'm insanely ugly, but I offset it by being funny, kind and kind of charismatic in my own way. I also took a lot of verbal abuse as a kid (since, again, I'm pretty fucking ugly, what with the deformed face and the shit teeth I have) but I learned to grow some thick skin and to roll with it. Also, make friends, just a couple is more than enough. It really eases the pain knowing there's someone out there that doesn't care.
>>32434876Accept what you cannot change.Disguise your unattractive features where possible (eg: grow a beard if you're a chinlet).Accentuate your attractive features where possible (eg: wear shirts that compliment your skin tone/eye colour and flatter your physique).
>>32434876A) LooksmaxxB) dgaf (but strangers WILL abuse you if you are ugly enough and look like prey)
Sex has ruined my life. I place all my self worth on it. I have had sex and it felt good but then i think im a complete loser when I don't have it. I often get ED with women especially one night stands and it makes me feel like complete trash.I masturbate to porn a lot. I am trying to quit and maybe will solve the problem but i recently tried, i didn't watch porn for 12 days but then absolutely gooned today and now im pissed at myself. Im supposed to meet this girl today that likes me but now im terrified we are gonna end up in bed and il get ED and then she'll ghost me like they all do.I have a high sex drive so it really really pisses me off. Everyday i feel the urge even if my body decides to not give me erections. I can masturbate from flaccid and usually do which is probably just making it worse. Women don't understand. They think i see them as ugly or that im gay, or that im disabled. I see in their eyes, they saw me as a man and then see me as a joke.So when i am feeling down after all this, i end up masturbating. When im tired i have less self control so i masturbate. Fucking awful. My personal life has so greatly suffered from this that I can't even explain how awful this isHas anyone been through this and cured it? I have some mixed of Porn induced ED, performance anxiety, death grip. Etc etc. I would not wish this on my worst enemy. When i feel like I'm winning I will fail again and be reminded that i will never be happy
>>32434359Yeah, I get that. I have not managed to quite porn entirely (being single there is also no real point), but I keep it to 1-2 times a week. And not on the day I got a date, you idiot.But in any case, performance anxiety, death grip, being in your head, porn induced ED, maybe some liquor when you are partying, really stressed me out. Nowadays I pop a cialis and I know I can rely on that. gives me peace of mind. The rest you still have to work on, especially your porn habit, but the sex part is manageable.
Can't you just change your attitude and your desires to fix this?Just do that
>>32434359Like>I place all my self worth on itJust have self worth independent of sex>I often get ED with women especially one night stands and it makes me feel like complete trashHonestly yeah that's understandable but you don't have to feel bad about ED if you don't want to>i didn't watch porn for 12 days but then absolutely gooned today and now im pissed at myselfIf you lower your libido that should make that easierOr you could just be horny instead of acting on the feeling.I'll admit I haven't had that specific addiction, but for abusing stimulants I decided I wanted sobriety more than I wanted to amp myself up, then I just acted on that want.
Is cold approaching in grocery stores a good way to get dates/socialize if you're someone who works from home? Haven't seen another person in a few weeks, thinking just talking to staff at grocery stores just to get guaranteed social interaction and asking nearby people how their day is going or what they think about X item if we're near it.
>>32434392Idk anyone that works a serious WFH job that can do it in a coffee shop. Has to be a private office in case you get calls/meeting requests etc. Honestly rather not even bother with women over 25.>>32434397Can't get a proper job? Here's the result of me being a lonely faggot in my 20s who's just trying to be a friendly person in the community. Also, the staff has to talk with me, that's their job. 2nd, being friendly can't hurt. I mean, how many people will even smile at you and ask how your day has been? Prob 0. Would you rather people frown/give off resting bitch face? Is that the society you want? Maybe soulless people will think they're too good for me, but I'm sure some people will feel a bit better after someone takes a little interest in them without expecting anything in return.
>>32434501>Honestly rather not even bother with women over 25.Okay, but a lot of them were chubby women that are probably extremely underrated.
>>32434407>oh right and then there's these fuckers trying to lure you into a bunch of church activities and charity work.My suspicion is that if this is your opinion of such things (skeptical, disdain for manipulation of that sort) you should probably be looking at a bunch of dumb democrat activist women or some shit.
>>32433883Depends entirely on the individual.Stick to the friendly/chatty ones. They're usually nicer (better catch), and they're more likely to actually consider it, instead of shutting you down automatically.IME the staff in tourist traps, grocery stores, and second hand stores tend to be more genuine. Staff in stores that pay commission and encourage upselling/sales are less trustworthy.
>>32433883That gets you banned lol
