>female author writes about depression
It's pretty funny to be like: Erm, no, actually only men are pathetic losers.
>>25631072Um your supposed to use the laughing joker image sweaty
>>25631073Women never ever EVER see themselves as losersWhether they are or not is irrelevant
>>25631072What Steinbeck said about Americans and socialism is better applied to women in general: the woman cannot see herself as worthless, she can only see herself as not having found those who can see her worth.
>>25631073The point is that women are not capable of real introspection or contemplation. The anguish caused by an unfulfilled conception of the entire universe is what brings some sensitive men to despair. Women are "depressed" when men don't give them enough attention.
>>25631083Sounds based. There is nothing to lose in life, so you quite literally can't be one. Being neurotic as a man is very distasteful.
>male author writes in vigorous defense and appreciation of monogamy
>>25631091>Neuroticism is actually a manly trait! Get out of your head fuck nigga.
>>25631097You should probably make it a habit to learn what words mean before you use them
>>25631100What's wrong with how I used the word?
You absolute vantablack gorilla niggers won't post on a thread discussing a book but you will appear from the ether to bitch about foids instantly.
>>25631094Doesn't work like that lil broSociety looks down on male losers, it doesn't on female one
>>25631102The male described is not "neurotic" under standard psychological definitions because his anguish is framed as a reasoned, contentful response to an intellectual/existential problem rather than as diffuse emotional instability or maladaptive reactivity.Neuroticism (in the Big Five / Five-Factor Model) is a trait dimension marked by the tendency to experience negative emotions easily and intensely—anxiety, worry, irritability, sadness, self-consciousness, vulnerability to stress—often in response to ordinary or ambiguous stimuli, with accompanying emotional lability and difficulty returning to baseline. It is largely about *process*: high reactivity of the affective system, not the propositional content or philosophical depth of the thoughts involved. Clinical depression or demoralization can co-occur with high neuroticism, but the trait itself is not defined by the presence of profound ideas.In the statement, the man’s despair is presented as arising from a specific, high-order cognitive state: the “anguish caused by an unfulfilled conception of the entire universe.” That is an existential or metaphysical dissatisfaction—failure of a totalizing worldview, confrontation with contingency, meaninglessness, or the limits of comprehension. Such states have long been distinguished in philosophy and some clinical traditions from garden-variety neurotic distress:- They are content-driven (the universe as an object of thought fails to cohere or satisfy).- They can be articulated, argued about, and sometimes partially resolved by further reasoning, aesthetic experience, or commitment rather than by simple mood regulation.- They do not require the person to be temperamentally high in neuroticism; a low-neuroticism individual can still confront the same conceptual problem and feel the resulting anguish.By contrast, the statement portrays women’s “depression” as contingent on insufficient male attention—an interpersonal, attachment- or status-related trigger. That framing aligns more readily with neuroticism’s emphasis on interpersonal sensitivity, rejection sensitivity, and affective dependence on external validation. Whether or not that empirical contrast holds is a separate question; the logical point is that the man’s distress is not being characterized as reactive emotionality of that sort.Existential anguish is therefore not neurotic *by definition* any more than grief after a genuine loss, righteous anger at injustice, or aesthetic melancholy are neurotic. It can of course *coexist* with high neuroticism (many historically sensitive or philosophically inclined men scored high on measures of emotionality), and modern psychiatry would still evaluate for treatable mood or anxiety disorders. But the statement’s male is not labeled neurotic because the distress is located in the failure of a cosmic or intellectual project rather than in the trait-like instability of the affective system itself.
>>25631104I only read and re-read Sherlock Holmes omnibus and its pastiches. No thread on either, so..
>>25631104I've been writing micro fiction about dildo-wielding skeletons elsewhere on /lit/ and now I wanna chill out and complain about women here. Do one.
>>25631111Yeah it's framed falsely. He's a liar. A depressed man is a neurotic retard avoiding consciousness.
>>25631116Have some shame.
>>25631121Ok prude
>>25631072If women don't get depressed why did she kill herself
>>25631155Chad was cheating on her
>>25631073Most women are losers that just look good
>>25631164This. They're retarded cringe machines but they're cute so men keep giving them attention
Chuds are obsessed with the idea that fairness exists. They see women have an extremely east path to success in life and how everyone bends over baclwards to make excuses for them and minimize their accountability and they lose their minds. The problem is that they think fairness actually exists.
>>25631072I did have an ex who was depressed all the timeShe was thin and attractive, so I don't know whyGod, what a whiny, miserable bitch she was
>>25631155Man (intellectually).
>>25631181Chuds are hyper aware that fairness doesn’t exist. The idea of fairness is an implicitly progressive/leftist concept that rejects hierarchy/nature.

>cat author writes about loyalty
>>25631072Why not? Depression is one of the most selfish indulgences imaginable. It's tailor-made for women.
>>25631091>women are not capable of real introspection or contemplationPeople who are capable of this don't get depressed. They solve their problems instead of sulking about them.
