What causes this?
>>730802139>friends: :/>friends, videogames: :DDD
>>730802139i don't have any friend irl so i can't relate. they are just consumers of your time
people are the most part are fake and gay, while the real friends were the adventures we had along the way
Friends in video games
>>730802139real friends are an energy and time drain, can we please go back to covid quarantine mode
>>730802139There's a reason most vidya show friend groups with a bunch of teenagers, friendship is non existent in adulthood.It's funny how that works, kids literally tell eachother to kill themselves and they take it to the chin, meanwhile grown ass men and women are like>Oh, he asked me "how are the wife and kids?" Does that clown think i can't feed them.No, he's just being polite. Kill yourself.
>>730802139It's easier than ever to find friend groups that are not club chasing, drug inducing faggots.
>>730802571Maybe on the internet.Within 50 miles, that's the real trick.
>>730802384Friendship doesn't exist in adulthood because adulthood is about taking care of yourself to survive.
>>730802612When you live near a big city there is no excuse.
All they're talking about is the last party they went to and travel. I'd rather be left alone
>>730802641for me it's laziness + social anxiety
>>730802641Well I don't. I live in suburbs. 10 miles from a kind of average city.
In 2016, I learned the hard truth that Internet friendships are not real. People you've known for 7+ years will throw you under the bus at the drop of a hat for arguing with them.I'm not even American, nor were most of them.
>>730802139I'm not even sure what that image is showing. The top group is a work of fiction, and so they're forced to be friends with each other. Those people don't even have a say in the matter. The bottom image is a woman who's alone - likely because she's an unlikeable person, like the people of 4chan. So, the answer would be that friendships in video games aren't realistic. In real life, you're judged for everything you say and do. I don't like a single person on 4chan, for example. I'm not sure how that happens. It's pretty much what happened for me in high school too.
>>730803398I had a similar experience, very fake "friends". Noisy calls, but it just stopped one day randomly, because they had "more important stuff to do" (aka they didn't care). Nowadays i only have 1 or 2 online friends, quality > quantity
>>730803398That happens with real life friends too.
>>730803398>In 2016, I learned the hard truth that Internet friendships are not real. People you've known for 7+ years will throw you under the bus at the drop of a hat for arguing with them.This applies to IRL friendships too, don't blame the internet for exposing you to more flaky dumbasses.
>>730803630bottom image shouldn't be normal or common in real life, and it sucks it is
>>730802139any game where the main characters aren't friends?
>>730803774>bottom image shouldn't be normal or common in real lifeWhy shouldn't it be normal? Explain why you deserve friends. Having friends is something you earn, like a video game achievement, and you don't get friends for existing.
>>730803976Drakengard 1.
Relations are give and take. But a lot of people want to just take and it gets worse as you get older.
>>730804227Let's say I enter a room and it looks like this. Am I going to be friends with these people? No, and I'm going to find the people I want to be friends with. That's what friendship in real life is like. It's something you look for and work for. If you're lonely, then the win condition is having a friend, and so you're actually competing with other people. Not everyone seems to understand this. If someone has a friend and you don't, they did something you didn't. Maybe they're funnier, or smarter, or nicer. If you have nothing, you better get something, or you won't understand why people don't like you.
Literally just get low maintenance non needy friends. It literally solves all problems about friendship. >no drama>can hang out every weekend or once every few years >can see each other after years and be just as good friends>mentally most stable person you will ever findHard requirement is to be a low maintenance friend yourself though.
friends in game are coded to be loyal, in real life they are cunts
>>730804715I have friends like that. We can not see each for a long time, and if we meet again, it's like no time passed. It makes me sad to be with them, because my life is so bad, so I plan to do stuff with them after I've died.
>>730803398My internet friend whom I had known for 18 years went full nigger and blocked me because I was telling him to give back 150 bucks which I had lent him.He kept drinking and gambling his meager savings which felt very disrespectful to me.Luckily he gave back the money before cutting all contact with me lol.But it's for the better I suppose, we had already drifted apart over the years, zero common interests:he only plays gay shit like WoW and CSGO and browses tiktok and twitter garbage 24/7I need a new friend
>>730804874>18 year old friendship>zero common interestsYou never were friends. Friends groom each other over the years with their interests which results in tons of shared interests.
>>730804994I used to play League of Legends and WoW with him in the past but I grew out of that garbage.
>>730805135That's another thing about "friends". If you're not in a common setting such as sharing interests, you quickly drift away unless you're genuine buddies.
I have never had friends irl but I have also never fell for the retarded gook having-friends-simulator.I don't know what all you people are smoking desu.
>>730803398yeah I was in a friend group for several years then it quieted down and eventually died out. turned out there was an inner circle that made a new group and I wasnt invited. this has happened several times and I'm tired of this woman tier behavior.
>>730805135You had 18 years to develop more shared interests, dude. My best bud plays japanese porn games and learns japanese because of me despite him being a legitimate chad.
>>730805226>turned out there was an inner circle that made a new group and I wasnt invitedLol. It sounds like the "inner circle" were people who didn't like you, and they just did stuff without you. That's not woman tier behaviour, by the way. It's just the calmest way to handle things. How would you have reacted if they said they didn't like you and didn't want you around anymore?
>>730805362NTA but I'd prefer them spill it right in the open
>>730805445Thank you for answering for someone else. That's really impressive autism. I was trying to make it clear that they did the inner circle bullshit because they were afraid of him. He just doesn't understand why they did it.
>>730805250>i got my friend addicted to cartoon porn/v/ moment
>>730805553>addictedNot really. You don't get addicted if you have other things going on in your life, it's just a work to enjoy like anything else. Also we never talk about porn when we discuss these games because only trannies talk about sex and porn.
>>730805362that's what I thought which is why I stopped interacting with them for years. then I bump into one of them every now and then and theyre all cordial "dude it's been years! whats up! what have you been up to we should hang out sometime" like what the fuck do they mean by that?
>>730803398This.Internet friends will never be real friends.
>>730805776>I bump into one of them every now and then and theyre all cordial "dude it's been years! whats up! what have you been up to we should hang out sometime"That's funny.>what the fuck do they mean by that?It sounds like they have less friends that they used to, so your friendship is allowed again. You're like an ex-girlfriend, I guess. You can either forgive them or reject them if the cut was too deep. I'm usually the one doing the abandoning when it comes to friendships. I'm not sure how I even end up with friends. People will literally just start conversations with me and I humour them, and it ends up being a friendship. Little do they know that I'm like a cat, and I don't hang around unless they're my meal ticket.
The main thing for any relationship to last is develop opportunities for interaction. Break out of the "I need to always contact him, he never contacts me" tranny mindset. It's one thing if the other person avoids you but if they accept most invites they like to hang out with you.
>>730802193Well done for repeating what opee already said you retarded faggot
>>730802139>friends in video games>friends in real life
>>730803398Fake and gayAnons on /v/ don't have friends to begin with.
>>730802384yeah, he's just being polite. bless your heart.
I missed out on the shift to discord so I have no gamer friends anymore
>>730805362>That's not woman tier behaviourt.woman brained faggot
>>730805226>>730806530No wonder why people ghost you all the time.
>>730806530Listen here brownie.t. is you>t. is themlrn2grntxt
>>730803398I have internet friends and IRL friends. There are things I can discuss with each group I could never discuss with the other.
>>730806465>I have no gamer friends anymoreThat's probably part of getting older. The last time I had gamer friends was Warcraft 3, which was a long time ago. I'm not sure why people think they need gamer friends when multiplayer games match you with random people. You always have people to play with even without friends. >>730806660>There are things I can discuss with each group I could never discuss with the other.What do you mean by that?
>>730805226The main couple in my friends group split up and everyone sided with the woman and then I never got invited to anything ever again. Only found out they were doing boardgame nights together when they posted the pics on facebook.
I made a ton of friends playing games like l4d1&2 and tf2. Turns out i was a shitty person the whole time, then I started drinking and got schizophrenia, and promptly destroyed whatever relationships I had left. That was about seven years ago. I miss them more than they miss me, which has been hard to come to terms with. Video games amirite?
>friends in real lifeah yes here they are
>>730806779>Turns out i was a shitty person the whole timeShitty how? The average person is shitty, but they don't think so. Self-awareness is quite rare and it's mostly just White people that have it.
I rather just talk with my friends then play games. And if it's video games only competitive 1 vs 1 games, non of those coop faggot games or survival craft crap.
>>730806887>The average person is shitty, but they don't think soPretty much every person ITT who says they lost their friends and thinks it's their friends fault.
>>730802139People are pieces of shit all the time and they have too broad backgrounds. They all have their own agenda, only those with anything in common, even petty goals like getting a job, casual fucking or renting a flat, see any reason to stick together.Games involve stories where all characters play a part towards a single thing, so friends stick together, trust each other etc. They're also all written by the same person.
>>730806716>IRL friendsCan't talk about Jewish control over world government and global financial systems>Internet friendsCan't talk about vidya or movies
>>730806887People would confide their secrets in me and I would use it against them. I tended to pray upon people who obviously liked me, using them for my own personal fulfillment. I had a rough childhood with sexual abuse and violence. I ended up projecting a lot of my bullshit on the people who cared about me the most. I’ve learned the hard way not to be a psycho
>>730806979Yeah, I have to agree. The biggest example for me is the inner circle guy. I had to explain to him it's like the softest way for them to tell him to get lost. They just did stuff without him.
>>730806398Anons are my friends
>>730807062spergs don't get that. you have to be very explicit with them (and then they throw a tantrum, so don't)
I tend to find people that like me annoying.
>>730807062high school girl shit, spineless
>>730807151Same. I think I've just internalized the idea that people don't like me so I find anyone who approaches me weird, annoying or untrustworthy.
>>730804874I'll be your friend if you give me your bussy on the daily
>>730803398this / trvkeonline friendships aren't real it's just pixels on the screen
>>730807151>>730807250Gendo:I've been waiting for this moment for so long... To finally be with you again, Yui.When I'm with Shinji, I only hurt him. So, it's better that I do nothing.Yui:So, you were afraid of Shinji.Gendo:I don't believe that I can be loved by others... I'm not worthy of love.Kaworu:You're just running away. You simply reject the world before you get hurt.Yui:Afraid of the shapeless, invisible barriers that separate people...Rei:You just closed your heart to others.Gendo:So, this is my retribution. Forgive me... Shinji.
>>730802139Friends are severely overrated and ultimately not worth the time/money/effort.All friends ever want are you to help them move, borrow money or fuck their girlfriends/wives.
>>730807387Thanks Dad
>>730807424t. american
>>730802139Did any overrated trigger fan actually play the game? The chrono gang are not friends at all.
>>730807141>spergs don't get that. you have to be very explicit with themI actually knew a guy like that in high school. We would like avoid him, and he would always show up, and it was funny. He wasn't even a bad guy, and it's just like IRL trolling when it happens. There was no inner circle in that situation, because the person being excluded was a white guy, and it was just a joke. Real inner circle shit is when they're afraid of the person and they'd rather not know he's being excluded. I'm trying to think of an IRL example. Oh, right. There was a guy who got inner circled when I studied cooking. He brought a machete one day, which made no reason, and he showed it to everyone. That's the kind of person who gets inner circled for real. Machete guy was white, but the kind of white person you send to an island when you need them to kill all the natives and establish a country.
>>730807475Lmfao wut
>>730807387Gendo is such a poorly written faggot.
>>730807387This is meant to be ironic or something but Eva is a genuinely good exploration of the mentalities of people with pronounced socialization issues. For a piece of 90's jap media at least. I find the people who really hate Shinji and Eva as a whole to be extremely insecure.
Well adjusted people/oldfags do not attempt to make friends on the internet because the understand the relationships are all fake and real life can happen any time
>>730807062>I had to explain to him it's like the softest way for them to tell him to get lost.As if I didnt know that because that shit had happened before in the same group. and apparently they let me tag along for 5 years until they didnt.
>>730807521brought a machete one day, which made no sense*
>>730807634>This is meant to be ironic or somethingNot ironic, i genuinely remembered this dialogue while reading the posts
>>730807546why is the writing poor?
>>730807475what?
>>730802139>>730802384>There's a reason most vidya show friend groups with a bunch of teenagers, friendship is non existent in adulthood.One cold winter's day, a number of porcupines huddled together quite closely in order through their mutual warmth to prevent themselves from being frozen. But they soon felt the effect of their quills on one another, which made them again move apart. Now when the need for warmth once more brought them together, the drawback of the quills was repeated so that they were tossed between two evils, until they had discovered the proper distance from which they could best tolerate one another. Thus the need for society which springs from the emptiness and monotony of men's lives, drives them together; but their many unpleasant and repulsive qualities and insufferable drawbacks once more drive them apart. The mean distance which they finally discover, and which enables them to endure being together, is politeness and good manners. Whoever does not keep to this, is told in England to ‘keep his distance’. By virtue thereof, it is true that the need for mutual warmth will be only imperfectly satisfied, but on the other hand, the prick of the quills will not be felt. Yet whoever has a great deal of internal warmth of his own will prefer to keep away from society in order to avoid giving or receiving trouble or annoyance.
>>730802139Video is fantasy, friends don't exist IRLWish I had just realized I was an introvert instead of having faggot ass (((friends)))
>>730807761What did Gendo ever do for Shinji?
>>730802139You don’t really need friends after college which is generally by your mid to late 20s. They are nice to have I guess but its optional.
>>730802234Yeah, you should put more time into [PRODUCT]

>>730802139All my "friends" took the jab and the leftist kool-aid. Every single one became extremist left tranny defenders. Theres no such thing as friends, you just enjoy the 5 years you have with them before they completely change into something terrible.
>>730803398Nah friendships online and in person are the same.I think a lot of people just mistake a casual acquaintance for an actual friend and this mistake happens a lot more online because you are able to spend a lot more time "with" this person, despite a lot of it not being time you are both directly spending with each other.Whatever you want to call the different types of relationships you have with people, there are clearly different categorizes you can put people you know into, not mixing them up is for your own benefit and understanding where you stand with people. It is also important to understand what you actually want out of these relationships with people.People you engage in a hobby with, together, are not your friends, they are just acquaintances, maybe even close acquaintances, but you are not friends, you can become friends, its a great opportunity to get there, but you are not friends.A great parallel to use as an example would be a coworker or someone you went to school with, a person who you would talk to and engage with, that you liked, and you would regularly have a good time at work/school, maybe you even engaged about things after work/school and even hung out sometimes.But once one of you changed jobs, you didn't have a class together anymore, moved to a different department, etc you stop really talking to this person, it isn't as if you opinion of them changed or how you see each other changed, but the convenience of interaction is gone and you slowly drift apart, you COULD become friends with this person, but there are a lot of factors.Friends are the people who you the both of you explicitly are spending time with each other and going out of your way to engage in activities together, not friends of convenience, an acquaintance, albeit a close one, very often you will be friends and have convenient situations like this, which is how you got to know them in the first place to.Don't mix up acquaintances and friends.
>>730808049>You don’t really need friends after college which is generally by your mid to late 20s.I don't think that's true. I'm in my 30s and I still wish I had friends; I just don't have any. Good thing there are video games. Video games solve the issue of companionship and also friendship. I mean look at this; It's like wife and housekeeper. I was pretty happy with the situation.
>>730808252They're all normal well adjusted people and you're a fucking internet brainrotted rightoid retard and can't see that you're the problem. You should kill yourself.
>>730808279Friends are extroslop
>>730808394Ah yes, the insane ramblings of a fellow well adjusted trannoid slave
>>730808236yes, i was making fun of (You), faggot
>>730808394you are very obviously well adjusted
>>730808275fk I forgot to even mention different people simply want different things out of different relationships.I have a few friends and acquaintances keep trying to move into the friend territory with me, but I simply prefer to keep people at a distance. I enjoy having mostly acquaintances and more casual interactions with others.It just fits the lifestyle I like to live and how I enjoy things.Close enough that people feel comfortable to organize things with me, be it going to events, trips, or just small social gatherings, but with enough distance that they don't feel the need to engage with me regularly and consistently without really having any expectations of each others.It's nice to yap and socialize with people and then move on and not really think about it.
>>730808394>being a faggot tranny is le nurmal
>>730808473>Friends are extroslopIntroverts can have friends too. In high school, my friends were other losers. I didn't like the normies, and so I hung out with a deaf guy and another loner. Who knows why those two were even friends. I mean, they were the same race, so I guess what they had in common was>both white>both introvertsSo yeah, introverts don't have to be alone. People are weakest when they're alone. It's fine to be alone if you're safe, but in a prison situation, which is what school is, it's good to have friends.

>>730808775ps. scott adams died today from vaxx-induced turbocancer. but he was ultimately a decent enough man to admit that he was wrong about it.
>>730807986There is no implication that Gendo ever did anything 'for' Shinji or that you're actually supposed to suddenly be sorry for him. It is explicitly stated that he's a bitter, lonely coward who can't deal with being a father to his son and kills all of humanity because he can't bear living without his wife, justified by the backhanded possibility that the same son he couldn't bear to raise will fix everything. Just because he gets a soliloquy where he spells out his motivations for being a massive piece of shit doesn't mean the writing is trying to justify him, you might just be illiterate.
>>730808553That wasn't me, retard.
>>730808394Im a centrist but extremist leftism has become such a cancer that basically someone rational is pushed towards being "right wing" by psychopaths like you.Becoming a leftist freak like you is like a zombie infection, it got to all my friends and because I actually think for myself I am ousted from my friend group.
>>730808962Collectivism in general has killed western culture and the left/right divide is illusory.
>>730802384Because we are so instantly connected that they can just choose when are who to interact with in a few clicks. If you want adult friendships to come back, get rid of cellphones or at least the internet.
>>730809041>left/right divide is illusory.Are you blind? The left/right divide is becoming so strong we are about on the verge of a civil war. Extremist thought has taken over a country which in the past was relatively well-adjusted compared to the population now. People had political differences but they didn't straight up jump ship into being a communist or a fascist like they do now. Meanwhile I will never have friends because I think politics are gay as fuck and I look at people's political opinions and think they are fucking crazy. I just want the well-adjusted America of the past back.
I think I hate online friendships even more desu>hop on discord call>say hello>”h-hello? Anon, are you there? Hello Hello?”>”hey anon, you should stream your game so I can watch and give you pointers”>”no anon, hit stream game, not share screen”>I’m playing fullscreen anyway but wtv>dms me “hey I see you’re muted, you know you can talk on mic??”>”man you suck at this game, do you want me to give you pointers?”bro shut tf up and let me play the game. Last time we played BF2 he kept telling me to check milestones after every game to see how to unlock the next gun for sniper after I kept telling him the bar is almost full so I probably just need kills on that class or something and told him to just start another game. And he just kept saying it like I didn’t hear him the first five times. And the when I finally unlocked the gun he immediately told me to switch back cuz the gun is worse
>>730808889>be a stubborn piece of shit all your life>you close your heart>oh my god you're right forgive me shinjiHe is just poorly written and they tried to explain his motivations all in one go making for a shitty scene.
>>730808962>rational is thinking vaccines will literally kill you and complaining about trannies constantly even when nobody brought them upYeah ok no wonder you dont have friends.
>>730803398complete opposite for me, we go on trips and meet minimum once a year, online in contact dailynot playing video games anymore as the majority are wagecucking by now, but that hasn't stopped anythingyou're a bad judge of character
>>730809320>you're a bad judge of characterAre you a good judge of character? Figure out what I just did. The NPC Niggers really judge other people when they couldn't see themselves in a mirror.

>>730808876Unhinged how you people actively cheer on people getting cancer and dying young as long as they're vaxed just so you can pretend to be right. Brain rotted.
>>730809310>rational is thinking vaccines will literally kill youYou mean a rushed vaccine for a virus nobody fully understood where investigations into long-term health issues and deaths are actively being silenced and censored by our government? I have no problem with other Vaccinations, this is the goalpost moving that retarded leftists do.>complaining about trannies constantlyWhen people in your friend group have actually become full on ugly as fuck autistic trannies with insane suicidal tendencies after they transitioned because they got groomed into thinking they were a girl, yeah im gonna have a fucking problem with trans dogma. Trannies literally fucking killed one of my friends. He could have just stayed gay or become a femboy but no he had to take estrogen pills and try to change his voice and became even more psychologically fucked in the head. After his transition I couldn't hang out with him anymore because how the fuck am I supposed to call you a "she" when you look like a fucking man in drag.
>>730809470you reddit space and post ironic-weeb twitch memetier fateshit gifs, you are a basal, uninteresting retard with no real values
>>730809301A character being an unsalvageably bad person is not bad writing. Characters do not need to be likeable or redeemable.Gendo's motivations are not complex and do not really need more than a single scene to explain (it being a dramatic soliloquy as he dies is overwrought though).You need to get off the youtube media essays they're rotting your brain.
>>730809213All wars are blue collectivists vs red collectivists. Neither party understands the root philosophical problems that have made the current degeneration of society inevitable, because both are total products of ideological capture. It wouldn't matter if the red collectivists purged every blue collectivist on the planet tomorrow, they'd end up doing the exact same things and running society into the exact same hole in the ground just at a different rate of speed.
>>730809698I can tell why you have no friends from this post. You're full of hatred. You're taking the moral high ground but you're just a spiteful individual. Its sad.If you personally dont trust a vaccine thats fine but it becomes an issue when you start lecturing others about it or judging people for getting it. Again goes back to being a judgmental person. Nobody cares if you got the vax or not other than yourself, nobody is forcing you to bring it up. You not being able to see this and look at yourself objectively is why you're all alone. Poor guy.
>>730810041Correct and based. Voting in the USA is a farce, they divide us on fabricated social issues that dont actually matter meanwhile will continue to make things better for the top 1% and make things worse for everyone else.

>>730809880>You need to get off the youtube media essays they're rotting your brainTake your own advice. Good writing treats its story elements and character moments like resources. Resources that must be properly utilized. Just being all like "hey we need to have a scene where we explain this characters motivations" is just pure poor writing. >Gendo's motivations are not complex and do not really need more than a single scene to explainWith that retarded logic 90% of plot points could have been written off with a short scene instead of being given room to breath over a long time. With that statement you have proven you have no idea how story telling works.
>>730810042>Nobody cares if you got the vax or not other than yourselfit was a whole different tune in 2021 lmao
>>730810140>top 1%The top 1% pay virtually all of the tax burden that politicians continually increase year on year.

>>730810267>Just being all like "hey we need to have a scene where we explain this characters motivations" is just pure poor writingNo it isn't. Gendo is a character who takes major action in the story. It would leave glaring holes in the audience's understanding of stakes and character dynamics if his motivations were never explained. "Good writing uses basic information as a resource" is the most highschool-brained thing I have ever heard.>90% of plot points could have been written off with a short scene instead of being given room to breath over a long timeYes, if the purpose of the story were just to communicate plot details. Which it is not. It is also not the purpose of the story to watch Gendo's motivations unfurl. He is a secondary character to Shinji's story. He does not warrant or need a long runtime to watch his character and motivation develop. That would be an entirely different story. The story being told is about Shinji, Asuka and Rei.Again, you are really not qualified to be giving writing advice because you don't seem to understand basic shit like economizing the story or focusing on the shit that the story is actually ABOUT.

>>730810042You have it the other way around fucking retard. I didn't literally give a FUCK what my friends did. I didn't lecture anybody.As soon as I said I am not getting the Vax my entire fucking friend group turned on me and I had to get another fucking job. Go fuck yourself you leftist loser. Leftism is a cancer that is slowly brainrotting certain cities and states. Rationally minded liberals are slowly letting twitter turn them into leftist husks. And because I refuse to change who I am and what I believe in I suddenly have no friends.

>>730810425The top 20% of earners net contribute the vast majority of federal taxes, despite the fact that nominal taxation rates have been spread out much more widely over the last several decades (used to be corporations paid virtually all taxes). This is because the bottom 60% consume an enormous amount of social benefits, making them net consumers of tax money rather than contributors.Western society is a nigger welfare debt mill wherein you, as a net consumer of tax money, are taught to hate the net producers.

>>730810569Collectivism is a strategy for surviving destitution and conflict. It is not the apex of human flourishing, which has always in fact been individualism and competition. Stop trying to develop us backwards into cavemen and troglodytes reliant on chieftains to make decisions for us.
>>730810590>No it isn't. Gendo is a character who takes major action in the story. It would leave glaring holes in the audience's understanding of stakes and character dynamics if his motivations were never explained. "Good writing uses basic information as a resource" is the most highschool-brained thing I have ever heard.You have made up arguments I have never made. Congratulations on being a complete disingenuous faggot or having zero reading comprehension.>He does not warrant or need a long runtime to watch his character and motivation developNo one said that he requires that. What are you arguing about? Can you stop making up things in your schizo brain?>Again, you are really not qualified to be giving writing adviceI have not given any advice yet on how to improve anything, just pointed out basic flaws. You also have not denied these flaws, you just tried to rationalize them. You are also arguing with points I have never made just so you could say anything at all, further proving you ultimately agree with my points. How important Gendo and his motivations are and how much screen time they warrant is another topic.
>>730811067Not understanding the logical conclusions of your positions doesn't make them immune to him.People would be confused about why Gendo did what he did if his motivations were not succinctly explained in relation to the events that he caused to happen, regardless of whether you understand this basic aspect of storytelling or not.

>>730811148No one is arguing the validity of this particular plot point existing in the story. It just comes across as a plot point in a check list they still had to cross off. A lot of plot points towards the end of NGE are rushed and delivered with barely any craftsmanship.

>>730807934tl:dr
does anyone else feel like they were constantly told how to feel growing up so you never learned to emote or react to things in the way that felt natural to you?And whenever you did, people would just downplay it and make you feel like you’re being weird for how something makes YOU feel. Whenever I’m apathetic towards something, people think my detachment is strange and off-putting.When I get excited or show urgency about something, people treat me like a sperg and tell me it’s okay or to calm down.It always felt like any emotional response I gave was wrong, so I just became overall despondent and dissociate a lot.
>>730816345You're probably ugly and was therefore given a poor response to everything you did.
>>730807934BALD
>>730802139They aren't friends, they're partakers of a common event. That's the bottom.The top are friends. They have experienced hardship together and, by means of their sharing of talents with one another, overcome those hardships.
>>730816345Yes.If you're asking for a solution to that I ain't got none son.
>>730802238Even family and other close relatives are fake and gay. I suppose that's a black pill for some people. You grow out of it.
>>730802139Top have a shared goal they’re all working towards, bottom are just passing time with frivolous activities.
>>730816950How can someone be fake? This seems a description only low IQ people use.
>>730803398A guy I've played games with for a decade ghosted me because I just don't like Arc Raiders. We played battle royales and team shooters. Sorry, I don't like extraction shooters. I gave it 30 hours, and I just don't like it. I guess fuck you too, Adam.
>>730817089When people talk about other people being "fake", they're indicating a mismatch between how the person behaves and how they feel. This is because there is a predominant mindset, primarily in the west, that all behavior must match feelings, and vice-versa, in order to be authentic. One cannot authentically make an effort to behave in opposition to their feeling when it would be more moral or rational to do so, within this mindset. So, because you have people who behave in polite ways despite harboring impolite or indifferent feelings, they are considered "fake". Sometimes this is most manifest when a person that one considers to be a friend does not behave in a manner that the one who holds them to be a friend expects them to behave. Personally, I think this has a lot to do with the deficit in relationships of that nature where so many people only think of the other as being there to validate or do for them, and not as an entire person in his or her own.
>>730802384my friends in my puter
>>730802139Because in video game, they are on an adventureYou can get friends like that, when you travel and meet people along the way (in hostel and stuff). Though this kind of friendship never lasts, because vacation is not real life
>>730802139Didnt read a single reply on this threadNormies and frens suck and are boringSee ya fags Im out
>>730802384It's the exact opposite. Teenagers are overly self-conscious and kill themselves over the dumbest shit. The only people who act that way into adulthood never developed emotionally and are adult children.
I had good friends like that in the past but it's impossible to find these days. They have all drifted away or worse, became mentally ill or began dating someone mentally ill.Psycho bitches are the number one killer of friendships. My friend of 16 years cut me off out no where because he fell in love with a psycho dyke bitch. She made him cut off all his "toxic" friends and last I heard she was trying to get him to transition. It eludes me why guys will fall in love with someone who clearly hates them.
>>730803398This is why you normalize good-natured argument and learn what topics are land-mines for certain people. We shit on each other and argue constantly but things get aired out easily and don't fester because of it.
>>730802139Friends?
>>730802639Damn bro, that's real sad.
>>730810378So did the dog end up raping this chicken?
>>730803398You're probably arguing with them like you argue with people on 4chan. Arguments always just damage relationships when they are in bad faith like just wanting to win the argument. This is irrelevant when arguing with random internet faggots but when you argue with people you care about you should always strive to rather understand the position of your opposite instead of just trying to win.
>>730810532Reminder that Netwon made fun of Hooke (famous for Hooke's law) because of its hight.Newton was based.
>>730809320>you're a bad judge of characterThis is true to an extent, but now I just hide my powerlevel in my current group. A lot of them are nice people I enjoy spending time with in our Discord and games, but they also regularly spout standard left-wing nonsense they saw on Twitter that a 2 second google search disproves. Resisting the urge to say "Shut up retard" is something that comes naturally to me now.
>>730818484Why not just argue with random internet faggots the same way you argue with your friends, instead of having two different paradigms, one of which is more difficult to achieve while the other is more often achieved? Keep your good-faith muscles strengthened by arguing both with your friends and rando faggots the same way.
>>730810969You can still have your own life without ghosting for a whole day, using shitty excuses like "i was too busy"
>>730818484>You're probably arguing with them like you argue with people on 4chan.If you're implying I called them nigger or faggot I'm going to have to disappoint you, if anything they were the ones reaching for slurs and strawmans
>>730802139the closest friend i've ever had was a woman i met playing ARK (and almost getting run down by a massive horde of wyverns on the crystal map). we played together nearly every day for three years and then she got a girlfriend in real life and slowly drifted away.

>>730816345Don’t blindly adopt other people’s values. Think them through and decide whether they actually fit you or not.
>>730817089"The persona, for Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, is the social face an individual presents to the world—"a kind of mask, designed on the one hand to make a definite impression upon others, and on the other to conceal the true nature of the individual."Yes, the SMT spin off takes his name from this Junghian concept btw
>>730818731Of course this is what one should strive for but it's just really hard to do for obvious reasons.>>730819071Like I said you both have tried to win an argument. There is just zero benefit to doing that and it's most likely going to hurt the relationship. The nature of debate between two people is inherently flawed since there is no judge so the outcome depends on two extremely biased people that become more heated and emotional as the argument goes on.
>>730802139Retards thinking they need alcohol to have fun. If you can't have fun sober, work on your fucking life first.

>>730809213It's illusory in the sense that it's just one man with a blue hand and a red hand; they're both a part of the same crooked nosed master
>>730819604>it's just really hard to do for obvious reasons.I can think of only two reasons where it's really hard: either you're trying to promise that you'll do it, 100% of the time for all time; or you're thinking only of those times where you're at loggerheads with someone entirely different from you. Other than that, it ranges only from somewhat hard to far more pleasant than the alternative, doesn't it?
>>730818484>This is irrelevant when arguing with random internet faggots but when you argue with people you care about you should always strive to rather understand the position of your opposite instead of just trying to win.Fucking try when your Opposition is your retarded older broter who is 26 years old with batchelors in law but who is a fucking autist who talks to his Loona blanket, is fat and a laser who constantly wishes for some weird ideal of a GF that will never materialise, and i have to live right next to him. Or that he doesn' seem to posses any Rational thinking skills And our Parent see ME as a bad guy when I point that out. And People are weirded out why I want to go to job and Move out ASAP.Oooo but he is your brother no matter what. Yea a brotger ith whom i seem to have less and less common ground and even when I try to be charitable He manages to dissapoint me.
>>730816950I'm very sorry for your circumstances, and I sincerely hope you're able to find solace in human connection someday
Humans can feel and stuffs, so they won't ever get too attached to avoid burning themselves out for losing too much energies for other problems. This is why anime relationships replaced real life relationships since it is our heads and cost like zero to conform ourselves
>>730802139In JRPGs banter between characters is harmless and done jokingly.IRL in most cases they actually try to put you down either to appear more alpha or as a group-binding activity. Fuck people.
>>730819770If your true nature thinks “X is a jerk” and you act like a friend in front of him, your persona (how you relate to him) is betraying what you really think. In that case, you are being fake.
>>730811372That’s because you’re soulless normcattle like them
At least you guys have friend. Or have the ability to socialise in public.
>>730820615The secret to socialising in public is hating it so much you do it out of politeness and keep it short so as not to raise any extra discussion. Idk abt the friends part tho, haven’t had them since hs
>>730811748Where would you have rather had Gendo's motivations for killing all of humanity explained than in the moment where he is killing all of humanity, which is a huge plot twist?Everything feels rushed towards the end of the story because the world is literally ending and all hell is breaking loose. Would you rather they have spent a whole second season slowly deliberating over the nigh-instantaneous death of everyone on earth? Please, tell me in extreme detail how a sudden climactic plot twist could be better paced.>It feels like they're only explaining it because of a checklist.Yes, once again, the audience needs to understand why Gendo is starting the end of the world so that it doesn't feel completely random and nonsensical. Narrative exposition exists to explain things to the audience and is often contained in the final falling action after or during the climax. The villain monologue is a well established trope of entertainment media.
>>730820152Well how an argument starts on here is already entirely unpredictable. A lot of the time someone gets triggered unintentionally to what you have written. So one party is already angry from the get go. In that instance the reasonable thing to do is not to reply back but often enough you start engaging. You start elaborating on your points and being reasonable respectful. Of course since the other person already engaged in bad faith from the get go they use all the dirty rhetoric tools to trash you as much as possible. If you can stay cool in that situation you must stop replying but often enough you are getting heated by that kind of poor treatment and start replying back. This is when it's completely lost.A lot of people here are bad agents, inherent shitposters. Others are genuinely mentally ill or retarded. So you will always receive a good portion of such posts. I'm surprised at how often I engage in such pointless debate despite knowing the outcome from the start, feels like having no control over myself.
>>730803398Came to the same realization recently. I stopped putting any energy nurturing my online "friendships" when I realized I was getting none of that energy back. Just felt like I was chasing the affection of people who really did not care that much and I've grown too old and antisocial to give much of a shit anymore.
>>730820868I say that because that's the norm.What you're describing is far and away outside of the norm.
>>730820810>The secret to socialising in public is hating it so much you do it out of politenessThat's literally what I do
>>730820490What if you recognize your inner voice as an unreliable narrator?
>>730820892You are arguing it like you believe it's perfect and can't be improved. Why not change your position to something more reasonable?
>>730820956It depends. Sometimes you get people who will remain stuck in their anger, and other times you just end up disarming them and having a pleasant conversation. That's probably why you try anyway despite having a good idea of the way 7 or 8 out of 10 conversations might just end up going. True, most of us aren't the most emotionally well-adjusted or capable, but every so often we do an okay job at being people.
>>730821242>>730820956>decide not to reply to bad faith posters>paid jeetshills and bad faith posters start astroturfing every thread with these same bad faith arguments to try and make it look like the """"/v/ approved opinion"""">retarded children, newfags and tourists start echoing this sentiment>retarded browns screenshot your post for xitter>the most limpwrist soibois start making youtube videos copying the xitter posts verbatim>sentiment spreads to the normalcattlegame was rigged from the start

>>730821183You're arguing that it is imperfect and can be improved. I'm just asking you to elaborate. If you cannot 'fix' these problems without introducing new ones or requiring the material reality of the show - airtime, overall length, etc - to be changed, then you don't have a point.

>>730822196This can be a fun discussion but only between people that are both critical and both thinking of ways to improve the work. I don't see what's to be gained from putting the person that is already biased towards the work being close to perfect being put in the role of the judge of potential improvements.
>>730820153You seem like an unpleasant and bitter nigger, so I get them
>>730822483... he didn't have an arc. He started the series a bitter, obsessed old man and ended the series a bitter obsessed old man.Every character does not need an arc. The story is not about Gendo learning to change, it's about Shinji dealing with other people including some that are horrific assholes. Stop repeating reddit media analysis.
>>730822796You are fleeing the discussion because you cannot put your money where your mouth is and know that any suggestion you'd make would fundamentally weaken or break the series, since you're not actually a good or even experienced writer and are just repeating stock truisms about writing to sound smart.It's a really very simple question - where else in the story as we got it would you have Gendo reveal his motivation to kill the entire world, if not while he is killing the entire world.
>>730811372Same and I'm the best friend of many people too. I always attract others really.
>>730822918Like I said, this is not a discussion. You have not changed your position about thinking Gendo was perfectly handled and yet you ask of me to provide improvements that you are going to judge. You must be genuinely retarded to believe someone would fall for that. And the audacity to come with a pre canned response about fleeing the argument when you never engage with any point I make and just try to scream even louder.

>>730824249If you already have a meltdown over me simply refusing your request then it just proves my assumption correctly. This is a discussion you lead with a good friend, not a desperate retard on the internet trying to win an internet argument.
>>730802384Nigger, friendship is stronger because it is usually friendship that survive many years of good and bad times. Teenagers bascially need daily interaction or friendhip dies. But adults can spend years without seeing each other and still deeply care about each other.
>>730824597>I think this plot point was rushed and poorly written>can you explain why?>no
>>730824517Your entire post is condescending self aggrandizing like you can do no wrong and your file images are pure gen alpha aloof cringe. You're not that important, let loose a little.
>>730824517You're seething about your brother and your families disapproval of you acting like a jackass and painting yourself as the victim to 4chan, bitterness rolls off you. If you think everyone else is the jackass, and they all think you're a jackass, you might be the jackass. Jackass. I hope that one day you're able to reconcile with your family while you all still have the time
>ITT: "I became a retarded schizo and now nobody wants to hang out with me anymore"clip unrelated
>>730824937By the way you to this moment never denied it's rushed and poorly written. You just made the rationalization that you don't believe it could be done better. Pretty bizarre.
Why is 4chan just a den of failed normalfags now? Where did the cool weirdos go?
>>730825049It always saddens me, I want them to have friends. Why can't they just befriend each other?
>>730825238I've been wondering this myself for years. I think most of them either roped, migrated to wizchan, or were slowly absorbed into discords for niche interests and effectively removed themselves from the surface web. Even if they are still here the signal to noise ratio is too high to engage with them.
>>730802139I had a group of friends like the top picture when I was a teenager, but people grow up and change and drift off to find even better friends, people who are more similar to themselves than even their childhood friends. The problem is some people just don't fit in anywhere. They're ugly ducklings, but they're not secretly swans, they're just literally ugly ducklings - or they're just some one of the kind mutant or the last of their kind, they're genuinely alone in the world. That's just part of the process of evolution.Even still, I know adults who have something like the top. Just look at some streamers. Most popular vtubers are partially popular because they have a big circle of friends. There's a lot of people who play games with their friends every week or every day even, like TTRPGs, MOBAs, MMOs, etc.

What I've noticed is that the idealized friendships of videogames where everyone has shared interests and an aligned goal of mutual flourishing, where they all have interesting insights and charming quirks and basically are colorful characters who enrich your life - that doesn't really exist.Real people are boring conformists who really only care about themselves and rarely bring anything novel or interesting to your life, as they are basically molded by groupthink/peer pressure. There's no shared goals, everyone is out for themselves, and basically no one has unique thoughts, they just repeat things others have said.

I have nothing against the idea of friendship, but I have to be honest with myself and accept the fact that I just like being alone better. No one is to blame, I don't feel wronged or whatever that people don't want to hang out with me, in fact it's the other way around. I've felt "alone" for a long time, in that period I didn't see that I WANTED to be by myself instead, when I understood that I stopped feeling lonely. There's a difference between loneliness and lonesomeness.There was this small group I used to hang out with, but then they got degrees and a stable job while I dropped out and am NEETan'. One of them took notice to that fact and made offhanded comments about it, I'm not interested in being anyone's laughing stock. We used to be equals back in high school
>>730810041Yu yup based.Goyim won't get this
>>730828693>which implies you don't hold that scene in particular high regard.It does not wtf“Rushed” implies they didn’t spend enough time on it. Gendo isn’t the focus of the story so he’s not supposed to get lots of time
>>730802139this is skill issuethe other week my buddy and I got burritos, went on a hike, and ate the burritos at the top of a big hill while it hailed on usit was incredible
>>730828805Indeed, if you are so weak that you cannot tolerate someone being totally genuine 100% of the time you are either weak as fuck or a faggot
>Grow up on anime and video games that had a huge focus on friendship>Leads me to overestimate it, putting my faith and trust in people I shouldnt have while always going the extra mile to help others and be a good friend despite rarely getting the same treatment back
>>730816345Yes and it literally destroyed my life. Never fucking have people tell you what to think or feel, specially if you didn't ask.
>>730827887Goat stuff. Don't forget to dilate though
>>730829342The arbitrary screentime you have allotted to be permissible for that character to have is not an argument. You are free to post a good source in which it states all the guidelines you have suggested Gendo as a secondary character to have though.
Had 2 friends growing up, both gone after graduation. Kinda weird i havent had any friends for 12 years now. Still have all my vidya though. Thats enough I guess.
>>730802139The idea of having irl friends kinda died postcovid. Other humans are strictly annoying and provide no benefit in return. Escapism reign supreme.
Turns out my friends only stayed because i would pay for things we did and would do their hard labor. I said no once and he hasnt even sent me a massage in 17 years. Being ugly doesnt only keep you from the gene pool, it keeps you from having a social life.
>>730802193LIFE IS LIKE A VIDEO GAME
>>730802139>Friend group that has been steady as a rock since late elementary starts unraveling last summer for no real discernible reason. No drama, no fighting, the guys just got on discord and posted in the groupme less and less>Realize we completely missed wishing happy birthday to the one that dropped off the hardestI don't get it. Did work simply get the better of everyone? Significant others? Approaching 30 sucks.
Pussy ruins all friendships
>>730829672You are baiting or don’t know how to read fiction I don’t care anymore
>>730802139I have a few friends in real life. 3 to be exact. We're very close and when we go to party we always have our backs all night no matter whatIn contrast, I fucking hate every single person I play with online. I fucking despise them from the very second I see their gamer tags and I fucking hate every single second I'm forced to fucking play with them. I fucking hate the idea that online multiplayer even exists and would rather never ever have to deal with it in my life.
>>730810267Buddy, you're pretty much completely retarded. You should never attempt to write anything. That includes future posts.
>>730830030This is why I am a dogperson
I never psychologically recovered from when I was 17 and my best friend started ghosting me because he made a new best friend
>>730830056>don’t know how to read fictionAh the classic redditor media literacy comment. What a classy way to finish. >>730830198Take your own advice.
>computer friends>almost always people you like interacting with, you both like each other>irl adult friends>usually people you tolerate so you can get something from them, you both secretly hate each other
>>730830030>had a buddy that was like a brother to me>literally couch hopped together until we got some money together to get an apartment>gets back with psycho ex>disappears for years>fastforward, reaches out to me, pick up where we left off, closest of friends>randomly starts seeing the literal full meme septum piercing gigawhale with thick rimmed glasses liberal >"what do you think of her? i'm not gonna date her btw haha">tell her she's wack as fuck>immediately starts dating and ghosts our friendgroup againI don't understand how you can be this pathetic but you're right. Thanks for reading my blog
>>730823259>Like I said, this is not a discussionNo shit faggot. It's because you're a condescending dunning-kruger retard that isn't worth engaging in a discussion with, even if you were physically capable of honest participation.
>>730830247What forma de cuckoldry is this?
>>730805763spoken like a true addict
>>730830504Buddy I have been watching porn nonstop for the last 20 years, if I was addicted I would know.
>>730830449And that generic display of hostility void of intelligence has what purpose exactly?
>>730803976I'm playing ff13 amd so far lightning seems to hate everyone.
>>730829852How's your neck doing though? You stretching it at least? No massages for 17 years sounds harsh.
>>730830601>i have been drinking alcohol for 20 years, if I was addicted, I would know.nta, I also think that "porn addiction" is retarded, but you argument is stupid. Just say "deal with it, faggot" and don't be a pussy.
>>730830958He was joking, mate. It's so obvious why most of the faggots here have no friends.
>>730830402Even if it isn't secret hatred, there's an unspoken understanding that this is is a friendship of convenience and the moment it stops being convenient you'll never see each other again.
>>730803398I have internet friends that are realer friends then IRL ones. The phenomena you are describing happens IRL too just as often. Hell, it can happen to FAMILY, one bad argument and you never see your mom again etc. I have never had a friend IRL or internet that wouldn't drop me for a crumb of pussy its just how 99% of men are
Unironically and I mean this wholeheartedly, I haven't had a single urge to be friends with anyone past the age of like 10. I don't have any mental illnesses, I've been told I'm fun at parties, I'd even classify myself as an extrovert. But I don't want friends at all.
>>730829932You hit the nail with the first, schlomo actively doesn't want you fostering that community
>>730831208>I've been told I'm fun at partiesI chuckled. Not bad, anon.
>>730825238I had to pretty much cut off everyone I talked to on Discord for this reason. Honestly I'm sick of normalfags, they're literally everywhere.
>>730831523How are you not a normalfag if you have the desire or need to talk on discord with other people? I have zero desire to talk with any of you faggots or anyone at all since I'm neither a normalfag nor a failed normalfag.
>>730802384adults are rude cunts who constantly undermine each other. your mate is right and you are stupid and oblivious
>>730831523>Honestly I'm sick of normalfags, they're literally everywhere.What makes you not a normalfag?
>>730830958You fell for it lmao
>>730820960I came to that realization recently too. Honestly, there’s no point when no one really thinks about you or truly cares. I was actually happier when I had no friends at all. Now I constantly feel hurt when I interact with my "friends" because of my unrealistic expectations.I know everyone has a different idea of what relationships should look like, but honestly, what’s the point? People don’t want deeper, more intimate connections, so I don’t try to get to know them better or spend time with them now, because I don’t want to annoy them. I'm a fucking retard
>>730831523brother at least discord is sorted into on-topic and off-topic chatroomsinfinitely better than talking to people in real life let me tell you. appreciate what you have
>>730832079The normalnigger can't seem to answer, which is unsurprising. I hope he's posting in the filtered section right now. I'm not a normie, and that's why I can show something like this. I'm the least normal person here, and I don't like any of you. That means you're the normies.
>>730830895a little stiff, but my cock is the one missing it the most. sad world we live in
>>730810163>And here we have the over-socialized faggot trying to corral the thought criminal into agreeing with the group by dangling pussy and social acceptance over his head.I've seen these faggots drool with fucking rage that anyone questions the shitty "group dynamics" of normies ostracizing/bullying/abusing others. It's like they get defensive because they know they're shitty people and desperately want to be part of the "in" group.>>730829103>One of them took notice to that fact and made offhanded comments about it, I'm not interested in being anyone's laughing stock. We used to be equals back in high schoolFrenemies love shitting on each other to elevate themselves, and if you're a people pleaser/meek they enjoy walking all over you. Shit on them back, brutally, and involve their wives/kids/families. Normoids don't respect anything but consequences. Do it publicly to humiliate them.
>>730832637Imagine being some two digit IQ shitskin who comes to 4chan to use the N word (i don't mean nigger) and having no argument whatsoever for why you're not a normalnigger. It's okay, because the sub-human faggot is posting into the void right now. Literally into the fucking void because he's in some thread that I can't even click on with a hundred other shitskins and they're posting shit that isn't even visible. Stupid faggot wants to call people normalfags. You've never met someone who isn't a normalfag. I used this website when none of you were here, and that's why I know what a normalfag is.
>>730826952Anticapitalist controlled opposition.
>>730804581You aren't white.
>>730829103Why did you drop out?
>>730833245If you are racist enough, nobody is white.
>>730833289Not that guy, but I dropped out to play video games, and I've been doing that ever since. High school was like 4chan for me, and I didn't like anyone, so I just stopped going.
>>730803398Guy I got along with well ghosted me because I made fun of their Ukraine flag on discord
>>730824503wait I thought you guys love laughing at killing people, now suddenly you have morals lmao
>>730833801>I thought you guys love laughing at killing people, now suddenly you have morals lmao4chan always had morals, and you just couldn't see it. When someone posted a nigger with his head chopped off, it was still a nigger, and the race of the person is why it didn't bother anyone.What morals do you have? Do you believe in anything?
>>730833801We were being ironic about it duh. You are surrounded by moralfags.
I blew up all my friendships by being an obnoxious /pol/tard in my late teens and early 20s and it's taken me until the last year or so to start making new ones
>>730833801You don't see the difference between an adult dying and a fucking infant? Really dude? I mean seriously?
>>730834089>You are surrounded by moralfags.I don't believe that at all. The people who used to be here might have had morals, but the ethnics who replaced them have performative morality at best. Like they'll mention God, but you know they're brown and so they don't actually believe in the good book or anything else. >>730834226>You don't see the difference between an adult dying and a fucking infant?What's the difference?
>>730834226which one is more based and redpilled?
>>730833485Based beyond belief. You deserve to get droned
>>730829459IKR, misery porn, horror and occultism are my favorite now
>>730810042>nobody cares if you got the vax or notlmao, actual gaslightingyeah NOW, 5 years later, no one caresat the time if you didn't get it you were socially ostracized and potentially lost your fucking jobyou also had to present proof of having gotten it to go to any social events for a while, and in general if you didn't get it people saw you as anti-science, adjacent to wackos like flat-earthers
>>730834276Based and redpilled is when you kill everyone that isn't the guy in the middle: >>730804581There's your quick rundown on B&R.
>>730833289NTA but I dropped out as well. I had always been a bad student and wasn't making any progress, I would have had to repeat at least one grade but probably multiple to graduate. I'd also grown distant from my friend group so I was basically only going to sit in classes I wasn't engaging with and waste time. So I dropped out, NEETed for a few years and got my GED later.
>>730829459>>730834437Are you guys brown or something? I don't even understand those posts where people are like>my friends never cared about me :(Were none of your friends White people? Were there none to be found?
>>730802139Top: Unified by the quest/missionBottom (Reality): Mate sorting
>>730802139I remember the plots of Persona 3, 4 and 5 better than my actual high school years. For all intents and purposes these stories and characters were more foundational to me than my IRL friends.
>>730835079Mate sorting, lol. That probably is what's happening if a woman is alone at a party. There could be like one Chad, but he's already with a girl, and so the party is over for her. Women actually try to say men are shallow when they live like this.
>>730835128>I remember the plots of Persona 3, 4 and 5 better than my actual high school years.They would be for me as well, and that's why I used to play Persona. I enjoyed my high school years when NOT at school, so it wasn't all bad. I used to come or 4chan or play video games, and I had friends in both places. Do not play JRPGs and expect that in real life. The only people who have JRPG tier lives are attractive people. That's what people are missing when they wonder they're not universally loved like in video games.
>>730835703>The only people who have JRPG tier lives are attractive peopleEven then, kids are in high school to learn and kill time until they're adults. Unlike in Persona where the cast has this huge sense of purpose that binds them together and motivates them high school just feels kind of aimless and lame. The whole point was just to graduate so you could move on and do something that actually mattered.
>>730835703People try to tell you this isn't the case but it absolutely is. Your quality of relationships with other people are directly correlated to how attractive you are.Honestly I think it's abuse to tell people looks don't matter. They absolutely do.
>>730823732weird al had an abortion?
