I genuinely don't understand what it means to ''get over yourself''. It's a piece of advice that was often thrown at my whiny bitch ass, but I don't get what it entails and what I'm supposed to do with it. Which books will help me figure this out? I need to grow up, stop crying about my shortcomings, and take advantage of my life before it's too late, even if i have no idea on how to get there.
>>25219306i just think it means you think too highly of yourself compared to what you actually are
>>25219306jane eyre
>>25219306>stop crying about my shortcomingsYou must suffer your problems, just stop bothering other people with it, put on a good presentation face & mindset, and show gratitude if others are nice to you.
>be op>think /lit/ cares about me and my whiny bs>make thinly veiled off topic thread about it>MEEEEE!.jpg>tell ME what to do>you clearly care about ME>why else would I explain all that stuff about ME?
>>25219306>whiny bitch assWe don't talk like niggers here.
>>25219314Then why do you constantly say nigger?
>>25219306Basically, thinking your problems are special and are worth being heard by others. What you complain about probably comes across as inconsequential, neurotic, self-imposed and such to other people.
It quite literally means you need to solve your issues instead of talk about them. I suggest you read up on psychological sublimation. If you want books that examine the phenomenon rather than try to diffuse it, read Tao Lin's novels.
>>25219316They say nigga, not nigger. It’s supposed to be endearing you know this anon.>>25219306OP, get over yourself, your heads a little far up your own ass to complain about it to people who don’t care. You should probably ask someone you know, books aren’t going to help you, but I suspect you only asked so that this thread is considered /lit/ - Literature; if so, there’s your problem.
>>25219341They use both. Nigga is essentially bro. Nigger is your standard profanity and heavily reliant on context, can be anything from a term of endearment to fighting words.
>>25219340Furthermore you're describing the death of 4chan, whereby the userbase grows so hostile no one will entertain anyone else.
>>25219353When used by a white man, them’s usually fighting words.
>>25219306>I genuinely don't understand what it means to ''get over yourself''it means making yourself into a body without organs
Even though you aren't convinced of a meaning to life or the legitimacy of your desires, no less is despair or any negative emotion not also illegitimate (accidental). Irrelevance and nihilism go both ways. As Epicurus, despite his atheism, a n intelligent hedonism would result in a virtuous life, because the virtuous life has the highest potential eudaimonia.As such there's a certain irony where radical hedonism has the same end as Platon-Aristotelian virtue ethics.Even the "delusion" (if atheism is true) to believe in a god grants more pleasure than atheism. As such theism is a more preferable lie than loyalty to the "truth" atheism in a world where loyalty has no meaning. Only a theist has an ought to care about truth.
It doesn't mean anything, anon. It's just a thought terminating cliché that the normalfag repeats so he can dismiss you and not engage, probably because whatever you are talking about makes them uncomfortable on a deep level and threatens their television-constructed world view. You might go on about some injustice in your life and they will dismiss you because it's very important to them to believe that people get what they deserve and that the winners in the rat race are the winners for a good reason, because they are somehow better people rather than just lucky or evil.
