Where are you supposed to meet women if not through school/work or some arrangement from a third person?

You wont find a woman who will find the mindset of 'I'm in school so I can't do anything else" attractive. That's like actual repellent because it shows you're either too stupid or incapable of balancing a normal schedule.

Nobody will tell us how they just call us a pedophile while they swoop in for that legal teen gf.
>>
Modern life of jealousy is the most disheartening thing ever. There are literally so many available women. This toxic culture makes them mentally ill and unapproachable. Do you know how many miserable people that will literally sit there and ruin you reputation for an itchy foot.

Now you have to deal with the lgbt calling people a pedophile because they can’t same sex them. It’s just so repugnant. Getting older will not make someone settle for what they did not want when they were younger, it only increases their hatred.

Is my subconscious mind the real me that holds all the real thoughts? I'm scared that it is, and everything I think I believe in is a lie. Like I often seem to think randomly stuff like "evolution is a lie", when I wouldn't even think about that consciously. Or when I try writing sentences like "Manatees are related to elephants" I end instead writing "Manatees are seals". I'm asking this because I've noticef occasionally thinking about politics or religion and suddenly notice my subconscious saying the opposite of what I believe in. Even when I try repeating it, or suddenly testing it, I might think of the opposite. Are these Freudian slips and it now means I'm a communist, because I ended up thinking stuff like "Communism is right" when I was trying to think "Communism is wrong". Is this my subconscious telling me what I actually believe in?

>>34066709
That actually makes perfect sense, thanks. So a sudden thought like that, or a misthought in my line of thinking isn't a sign of what I actually believe in? Like, if I accidentally think that manatees are seals, I don't actually believe in it, but is more just a "slip of the tongue"? That's pretty reassuring to hear.

Have no fear didn't read past the title

Yeah I'm an autistic adult and I have interest in model trains. It's price is unjustifiable and this isn't going to fix any of my real life problems or have utility beyond making me temporarily feel good. A dcc ready ho scale model without the bells and whistles can cost hundreds of dollars, the smallest 0-4-0 tank engines go for over $100 now and the price isn't going to come down anytime soon. I've been selling off my books and models for this reason as continuing this intense hobby doesn't make sense. I still have that urge because of my autism, it can make it difficult to move on and I wished this was easy.

>this intense hobby doesn't make sense
it doesn't. If you are going to be a materialistic sperg, at least pick a more worthwhile hobby. Bodybuilding/fitness, automotive enthusiasm and sales, firearms, business ventures/entrepreneurship, electronics engineering, software programming, robotics. These have been real avenues for autists- but you fell for the 1970s Boomer retard shit of toy trains that no one really gives a fuck about outside of the 1970s.
>this isn't going to fix any of my real life problems
it wont. I know some that are mega autists too-but atleast have picked obsessions that would make lucrative business. Some of them do Japanese racing car tuning/drifting parts and manufacturing. They took that finicky and obsessive drive about models and construction of- to professional car racing machines. Then they took their products to worldwide production and distribution. They get to feed their autist hobby needs but also feed themselves.
>>
>>34066288
Avoid anything that would lead your sequence of thought towards model trains. Reenginer your environment so that the idea never even occurs to you. Remove all relevant pictures, move furniture to break relevant habits.

Get a new obsession, one that can attract hyper focus but is better for you. It's like putting a big black hole next to a little black hole. Your old obsession will still exist, but the new obsession interferes with it, attracting your thoughts towards to it with more pull than the old one.

Whenever you notice your thoughts are about to slip towards the old obsession, divert it to something else, but this only works if you notice right on the precipice before hyper focus really kicks off.

It helps if there's YouTube videos or some online community surrounding your new obsession that you can identify with. If you feel like you are "one of them" that puts pressure on you subconsciously to think and behave as they do.

Once you kick an obsession you have to keep avoiding it forever. An image, a familiar sound, a comment about it online, will reactivate it. It will then start appearing in your idle imagination again, generating narratives and images, which trigger hyper focus again. Then it will start feeling super important again. It can take only one day of exposure for this to happen.

I'm 31 years old, haven't been employed in 8 years. I'm ugly, live with my parents, have no college diploma and no way to excel in life. I have severe social anxiety and am a very nervous person. I'm very wary of people. But I'm thinking of my options and realize I don't have anything left. So should I bite the bullet and join the coast guard, or try something different?

well I am in quite good shape and not looking for or interested in companionship at all. but mid-late thirties now. I have about 100k cad but that's all my savings and grandparent inheritance and I have no income so effectively no money. The other issue with the cyber security route is the main training place is across the country so I'd lose my cheap as fuck family leeching life here and that seems to be the main place of employment for that career path too.

so to expound on that thought that while it does pay decently I wouldn't be able to do the kind of savings catchup I could do if I could find a decent job that doesn't make me move. if I could get a decent job here I'd be able to save basically 95% of it if I wanted to which would go a long way to make up for not working for a decade LMAO. but also kinda wanna just die.

I wanna know what you guys would do on my situation:

Im 23 years old and I have absolutely lost my capacity for empathy, i cant feel anything for people, even childs, dogs, etc. To put you an example, yesterday I got into a rock climbing accident: where I was belaying a friend and the rope went out of my hand, and he fell to the ground like from 5 meters, he broke his ankle, I drove him to the hospital, and did everything I had to do technically except apologize to him or even say something upbeating to him, I ruined his summer vacations he was about to go to a trip of rock climbing and now he is unable to do anything. The thing is my brother and father started overwhelming me on how I should say something to him, and I know, but I dont feel anything, I barely can feel sorry for him, it sucks I wish it didnt happen.

Anyway this is just an example of how emotionally fucked up I am, and how dulled my capacity for empathy and caring for other is. I cant imagine myself having a gf with this incapacity for feeling for others, I can barely talk to people.


So yeah, idk what to do, am I some kind of psycho? I wasnt like this as a child, something corrupted me, and I becoming more cold hearted as time goes on, my moral compass is getting more corrupted and diffuse. Should I kill myself before I keep hurting others?

On your pic... I find myself on the instance of acting and speaking, I no longer have a good will on me so I just omit action, wich leads me to being basically a plant, unable to do anything because I only hurt, thats why I dont see the point on keep living.

My plans are either get a good psychologist or do psychedelics

If you so much as motion your will in the right direction, that's as good a step as any. You can pray and ask God to guide you, to help you, etc. It can never hurt, and even if you don't feel it, like your heart is in it.

It's also heavily emphasised in the Orthodox church that even the lowest can be saved, every step taken towards God, God taked 10 towards you.

Another thing worth mentioning, it's emphasised in general that the Orthodox Church is a hospital for souls. People with physical illness are quick to go to a doctor, but how many do the same for sickness of the soul?

Idk it's mostly about going the speed limit. You shouldn't be too dramatic. When your life is really good you really can't be bothered to care, when you have a bad life same, when you are around a total idiot it's hard to care. If you don't care it just seems like dissociation and it's a coping mechanism for when people around you are suffering. It's just kinda awkward. Drinking and drugs seem to have a strange effect. You're usually more emotional when you drink but them it makes you more emotionless once you're sober again. Also sometimes whiny people are the absolute fucking worst. Some of them need help. Others are the worst. They are whiny over nothing and even go shoot someone because of it

I'm 26, and I have zero friends. After I graduated high school, I isolated myself for a number of years until I got my first few jobs during the pandemic. I rarely receive any texts, and if I do it's either from my parents or manager. My first few times putting myself out there socially went terribly and did a number on my self esteem overall, but it was through those experiences I learned more about myself and general social awareness. I'm still growing and I can say I have more confidence now than I did a couple years ago. However, even still, I've had a lot of trouble making connections and friendships with people. At work, I tend to be on good terms with others at first, but it never seems to last and falls apart.

I had one coworker who reached out to me, and we were texting for about a month. We bonded on anxiety and her having adhd. Long story short, her boyfriend didn't want her messaging me, and then she said to another coworker that she thought I was lonely and didn't have friends. I just avoided her from then on. It seems like some of my other coworkers end up not respecting or liking me as much either. I noticed recently that one person I worked with for almost 3 years removed me off their socials.

So, I don't know. I hope I'm not alone into my 30s, but I'm trying to think of other ways I can go out meeting people.

Depends on what you really want out of life to me all the friends I ever had bitched about one another and I chose to cut them out and I was a lot happier being alone than with those people. I will give an example as to how they were like one friend wouldn't talk to another because he never said hello to him when they met.

Sometimes friends are more trouble than they are worth all they want are yes men not real friendships.

Because in American culture, nice = weak
They don't necessarily have anything against friendly (aka nice) guys, IF they're powerful. You see, power is an aphrodisiac to women. Be like a hero, "nice" and strong. An archetype that hasn't failed since the medieval ages.

I just need to lock in and no shit literally insane people ruin everything as I'm even trying to do that.

All you have to do is what you think you need to do. If you are Nick Reiner release your dad's precious goo. If you are high strung you do better than you. If you're me you'll work hard but maybe lose time trying to even communicate. If you're totally retarded you'll end up homeless and not even care. You're close to knowing that you gotta do something because it's about to shit in your face. Most people take path of least resistance. Take advantage of this by doing a little more. Also be a dick don't work too hard

It shouldn't be a bad thing as long as you're not creepy about it. As in like don't stare at her armpits or bring this up on a first date or anything but once you two know each other better and are getting more sexually active THEN you can bring it up. As in like "I have a little bit of a thing for a beautiful woman's armpits, hope that's okay with you." But obviously don't be like "I DON'T CARE IF A WOMAN JUST RUBBED LITERAL SHIT UNDER HER ARMPITS I JUST NEED TO SNIFF SNIFF SNIFF!"

Be there for him. Be present and encourage him to seek help. If you ever have any genuine, actionable belief that he's going to hurt himself or someone else you call in a welfare check on him. That's worst case scenario but its better than him dying.

If you really can't help you really can't help either cuz he's dumb ur dumb or he's too ridiculously poor or you're not rich enough maybe if you talked to him and he said well you've never helped nobody ever has all my problems are just being stuck in this bs but if he actually asked for help like that, well, of course you would take slight so, he probably could use some help and isn't begging because well maybe you should actually help I mean you are here asking us for help in helping, sometimes it seems people have the right idea, they might even tell the person hey you should move, well maybe they want to they just need the littlest bit of help eh

anyway OP, don't worry about it. I play chess sometimes, my W/L is about 60/40 and I don't worry about it because it's just a fun game. If you're trying to make a career out of it, well, then you need to learn how to deal with the abuse because it's always gonna be like that in competitive stuff. but if you just like playing chess, then just have fun with it and don't worry so much
