Found this image when searching for "self-pity" and thought it was fitting.

I've been pitying myself my whole life and it gave me the mindset that I am just inferior to everyone and that there is nothing I can do about it. Instead of looking for opportunities I look for excuses why I can't do something. This lead to years of not doing anything which lead to no accomplishments and thus 0 self-confidence and even more reasons for self-pity even though my situation is self-inflicted. I don't blame anyone but myself but at the same time I blame my brain wiring that creates these thoughts.

The problem is that the self-pity is so deeply ingrained in me that it feels so natural and instinctive that I notice it too late or it creates overwhelming emotions that I can't calm down with reason.

The worst thing is that every time someone pointed it out it just made me angry and pity myself more for having a self-pitying mentality.

Right now I am trying to be mindful of my emotions and quiet them with reason but I wonder if anyone has a better idea.

Speaking from my likewise limited experience, I think getting a skill, or getting good at something, is the only way. Confidence is a meme in so far as your typical "le fake it till you make" retard platitude is ineffective; you probably aren't going to be able to convincingly lie to yourself for extended periods unlike the average normalfag who has support structures and cute little experiences they can use as buffers to their delusions; the average wizneet has none.

If you're sick of feeling inferior and despondent, and it's really getting you down, you're unfortunately going to have to do something to try to remedy that. A common take is that you need to feel good, or comfortable, before you do something, but it's actually the opposite, you'll probably have to do something before your reptile lizard brain fleshcage will let you (maybe) feel good. Waiting around and being mindful probably isn't going to work, but if you notice yourself improving at something that you find worthwhile, you're going to feel good.

The hard part is finding something that actually interests you enough for you to want to get good at it. I was lucky in that after going to some job training course for unemployed people, I got a little job there doing graphic design. I didn't care at all for that stuff until the job forced me to take an interest, and I still think it's a bit dumb, but now it's something I can work on, get better at, see generative improvements, and (sometimes) feel good about. I also do drawing, I just started and I'm garbage, but when these pursuits are going well, I feel competent and good about myself, and there's much less space for self-pity. The caveat to this is, because of the lack of those support structures I talked about earlier, you're probably going to tie your entire self-worth to whatever you decide to do. So when it's going well, great, when it's going bad (which it absolutely will when learning something new) you're going to feel awful. The silver lining is you'll have much more time in your day to work on that skill where the normalfag wouldn't, and like an anime protag, it's you vs the world, which is kind of motivating.

I'm not advocating wageslavery but getting a job is probably the easiest shortcut to this, you're forced to be somewhere and do something, and that'll necessitate getting better at whatever that thing is, and you might even have peers treat you like a person (though they might treat you like shit too)Post too long.

The best cure for self pity is perspective. For me watching lots of hours of gore footage made me permanently grateful. Expectation is the source of most all suffering.

People with children actually discust me nowadays. Not all of them, mind you. I've met some good parents, but they're a minority. Most are absolute shit, they just create life with 0 thought, then make it everyone elses problem. I look down on most people who have kids the same way as animals. I don't care how edgy it sounds. I keep seeing it over and over again, people pop out babies and then put 0 effort into actually creating a good life for their offspring, properly educating them or even spending time with them. It sickens me.

Retirement is a thing of the past for the everyday poor dickhead and college is a hard scam, having you in debt till 35+ if you want to gamble on it getting you to the middle class.
The only way you can go to achieve success is in the industry sector, and even then, some industry jobs are fucking scams themselves.
As a trucker you will effectively work 2 full time jobs for 46K a year and back in the 1970s it was 80k adjusted for inflation.
Shit has just been catching fire since 1971 and the middle class is bleeding oceans.
People who don't have the "gift" of being smart will be poor and will work till the day they die at age 85.
Imagine going to work at fucking 80.

My NEET time might be running out soon and I feel regret over wasting it so much doing literally nothing instead of watching a lot of movies/tv shows, read books and play different video games and practice some hobby. My thought is that by getting through all the best media while I had endless free time I would not miss much once having a job with no time. Especially since I personally dislike most of the new stuff.

There's a long road of psychological tests, evaluations, and hardening procedures that may break you. It takes a highly socialized man to stand with authority over an army of dissidents who would have your throat for sport with nothing to lose but dinner for the night. There is no perk or pay beyond what is offered by a mall security position.

Start small, and if you're not satisfied with the ease and safety of a stroll through a dark empty park, then apply for the combat duty that is prison security.

I'm big on nostalgia too. Even as a kid (like 8 years old) I would experience intense nostalgia for "periods" of time in my life before that. It's pleasurable in itself, it's amazing, and music is a great trigger. Nobody can really tell you why you're experiencing it more recently, maybe you're just enjoying the experience of nostalgia, and maybe that's a positive thing - it's nice rediscovering those layers of ourselves that have become 'calloused' or hardened. Generally though in my experience I find that when the nostalgia is really strong for a long period, it's because I'm afraid of facing reality in the present and afraid of facing the future. So consider that possibility, but hell enjoy the feelings for a bit, but work towards letting them go and building new ones too.

always thought carpal tunnel was basically just wrist pain. but now that i've developed it over the past few weeks, it is more like numbness. comes and goes periodically. it's worse at night, i'll wake up and can't feel my arms or hands and is so uncomfortable and makes me unable to get back to sleep. i thought it was blood circulation at first but the numbing of the thumb, middle, and pointer fingers going numb is highly characteristic of carpal tunnel, they all utilize the same nerve that gets compressed at the wrist or elsewhere. doesn't seem particularly dangerous as the blood circulation is fine and i'm almost done doing what caused the carpal tunnel. i hope it heals when i'm finally done

If you're ever in the market for a new computer mouse, consider the kind that are slanted about 45 degress outward. This offloads resting weight from the conduit of veins and nerves under the wrist, and places it on the pinky finger and its muscles.

it's not computer-related fortunately. it is from putting up drywall over the past few weeks but i will be done soon. i've never actually had carpal tunnel syndrome, just wrist pain infrequently if i had to use a laptop for a while. but i thought that is what carpal tunnel syndrome was, never had i experienced this numbing bullshit. it's so bad i can't even use my arms or hands when it comes on, i would almost rather it hurt or be painful, but no it's numb

Alright since some of you are on neetbux, do you actually have to do something for it? I know it kind of defeats the purpose, but… my country is starting to fuck around with that idea. Since a few months, I got to meet social stacies (I had almost no sex drive anymore by not seeing any succubi) and participate to stupid shit meeting with alcoholic normies and almost literal retards. Any of you have some obligations too? It's hell and I want to die. Perhaps they've found a way to get rid of us, although I think they'd wish we'd participate in the rat race.

Many aging parents are complaining about how they feel neglected by their offspring but in most cases they brought this to themselves because they lived self-centered lives or were emotionally neglecting their kids etc. and essentially their offspring had to figure everything in life out themselves and doesn't owe them anything for that matter.

Many parents expect this old-school way of elderly life in which their offspring and relatives take care of them and are around them but many people don't care as much about their parents anymore because their parents didn't care that much about their needs as well and often they dont even have grandchildren so they often end up lonely in their elder years. The relatives prefer to pay an expensive nursing home over having to interrupt their own lives to take care of their aging boomer parents. Whenever I see articles about elders who feel disappointed in their 'ungrateful' offspring I just know it's some stuck up boomers who didn't do anything for their children except forcing them into this planet while spending the rest of their time doing things like watching TV and being completely neutral to everything while not being invested in their childs upbringing enough. I don't think anyone avoids their parents for no good reason and since they raised a generation that doesn't owe them anything they will feel the results of that as well.

Do you feel like you owe your parents anything or do you feel like you don't owe them anything at all?

Max Stirner also said that the moment creator (whether a God or a parent) creates an independent being, he can't expect him to behave as the creator wants to, because the choice is up to the created (otherwise he wouldn't be independent). The only way to make someone independent to behave the way you want to, is to use force, that is, to make him dependent on you.

As for the OP's question:
My parents are poor and dumb, they only fulfilled my basic requirements and didn't teach me anything, not because they are vicious or because they thought I should find out myself, but because they don't know shit, so I don't blame them, in fact, I'm kind of glad that they didn't do more because they could have filled my head with bullshit, perhaps they are somewhat aware that they are idiots, so they concluded that smarter people should educate me.

And I've grown to be a complete egoist (I don't care if it's the genes, mental issues, upbringing or the enviroment), so the only way I fancy about it is in terms of profit/loss. As I mentioned, they are poor and dumb, so I won't care about them, because they can't give me anything in return. Unless they sue me, or put a gun to my temple to force me, but they won't because they expect an emotional attachment on my part, besides, they can barely sign their name, let alone file a lawsuit. Shouldn't have been stupid pussies.
inb4 What about your childhood and how they wasted their time raising you? I don't care, at this point it's a question whether I feel something towards them and the answer is no.
Also, I won't have children because, as you said, it's not worth it. What if my kid turns out to be a psychopath and murders me or kicks me out of the house, altogether, makes my life worse than it would be without him? I see from my own example how ungrateful a child can be, so I also think good relations with your neighbours are better, because even if the child turns out good, he/she will move out and visit you from time to time, and if not, he/she will be a criminal/neet and be an additional burden.

Having an offspring is basically admitting "I can bear the burden of parenthood, unrewarded". And if you can't, then just don't. But most people are apes and need to fuck and make babies "by accident", and their parenting is also one big fucking accident, and they think that if they respectedPost too long.

Am I lazy or a bad person or both?

I live with my parent and since I am home all day I could clean the house and prepare dinner for when they come back exhausted from work.

But I can't even properly take care of myself. I eat only pre-made meals and neglect my health and have an irregular sleep schedule. So it's not like I am living the live but at the same time a lot of people don't feel good and yet follow their obligations and not doing that makes me feel terribly guilty but in a way that just makes me shut down from anxiety and exhaustion. I'm so fucking weak man. I hate how I come crying here instead of actually doing what I think is right even if it's hard work.

Mate, most life dies before it even makes it out the womb. The universe is unbearably hostile toward life and only a small percentage of all potential life actually manages to survive for what is a blink of an eye in cosmic time. Life is exceptionally rare and it exists in spite of harsh environments. To say that life is well-adjusted is ridiculous. Stars are well adjusted, nebulae are well adjusted.

A conservative, you at least know where they stand no matter how loathesome, a liberal on the other hand genuinely believes they are a good person despite supporting the same economic policies because they're okay with (rich) niggers and fags.

It's been depressing watching american-style idpol seep into British politics.

I'm speaking into the void, but I think the future of London is a walled-off city, either physically or through financial cost, a socially-cleansed city full of virtue-signalling yuppies.

We had a schizoid thread some time ago. I thought I'd continue it again because some of the conversation there was pretty interesting.

Basic intro… Schizoid != Schizophrenic.

Schizoid chan image will explain what it is in the next few posts here, but:

>Asocial
>Asexual
>Apathetic
>Anhedonic

I can see why normies would label it a 'disorder' (because it is considered bad by normie success metrics), but I don't think I buy that it's 'bad.' Do you think it's bad? If you consider yourself schizoid, is there something you're trying to do to 'fix' yourself?

Anyways, SzPD general, I guess.

This describes me very well. I've always wondered why I can use imageboards, but not direct message. Sometimes I get angry at an imageboad website and I stop using it (then come back later). I feel compassion for others in a major way, so much so that it makes it hard to watch TV or Movies because I hate seeing other people suffer, yet I don't want to ever interact with someone IRL.

In most countries that permit abortion, the cut-off is at 24 weeks. The reason is as such:

>Consciousness requires a sophisticated network of highly interconnected components, nerve cells. Its physical substrate, the thalamocortical complex that provides consciousness with its highly elaborate content, begins to be in place between the 24th and 28th week of gestation. Roughly two months later synchrony of the electroencephalographic (EEG) rhythm across both cortical hemispheres signals the onset of global neuronal integration. Thus, many of the circuit elements necessary for consciousness are in place by the third trimester. By this time, preterm infants can survive outside the womb under proper medical care. And as it is so much easier to observe and interact with a preterm baby than with a fetus of the same gestational age in the womb, the fetus is often considered to be like a preterm baby, like an unborn newborn.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/when-does-consciousness-arise/

You put cum inside a succubi and 24 weeks later, it can self-experience. Literally, the universe has a new bud by which to experience itself.

My wizards, I have but two questions.

1. In the process of development, where did the consciousness come from?
Is an emergent property of complex neurology, like heat from a flame? Or does the brain develop enough complexity to attune to consciousness?

2. What is consciousness precisely?
Is it material or immaterial? When one is immersed in imagination, is that an extra-reality experience?

It is not like I come here to vomit my thoughts. These are topics I have tried to research on my own. Surprisingly, there is not even a concrete definition of consciousness to be found. Science hasn't even reached a consensus around defining it.

>About forty meanings attributed to the term consciousness can be identified and categorized based on functions and experiences. The prospects for reaching any single, agreed-upon, theory-independent definition of consciousness appear remote.

“What’s reality? I don’t know. When my bird was looking at my computer monitor I thought, ‘That bird has no idea what he’s looking at.’ And yet what does the bird do? Does he panic? No, he can’t really panic, he just does the best he can. Is he able to live in a world where he’s so ignorant? Well, he doesn’t really have a choice. The bird is okay even though he doesn’t understand the world. You’re that bird looking at the monitor, and you’re thinking to yourself, ‘I can figure this out.’ Maybe you have some bird ideas. Maybe that’s the best you can do.”

I consider that animals with complex enough nervous systems are conscious in a way like us - that is in line with all serious investigation into what consciousness is. Animals do many of the things we do to "think". Humans only do so with symbolic language that allows them to communicate the idea, and use tools which affect both the world and themselves. There is nothing essentially different about the thought process, some genetic seed which makes humans "special". Humans are not too clever with symbolic language, and spend most of their energy fighting each other and deciding most of humanity is retarded and illiterate, rather than things that would have been obvious if humanity were anything other than a failed race.

Consciousness implies not any machine of information processing, but a machine continuously operating in a way that would allow a persistent energy to form in an organized fashion that allows life to integrate its parts into a body. It can only do this in subjective experience - there's no "consciousness" that can be isolated in a lab in a crude way. We have a sense of what can and cannot be conscious in the way we are, that does not require an elaborate proof or behaviorism. We can tell that computers are designed specifically to not be conscious - and if you understand computer science and people who know what it really is, they'll tell you the computer is really a tool to make slaves and masters, rather than "think". That's why "slave" and "master" terminology are omnipresent in the computer field. Most of this wank is a liberal fantasy where they want to naturalize their preferred form of slavery and the eugenics horseshit that has always failed.

Police are extremely dangerous as they act as the most common last measure of enforcing society's rules. The thing is: as police are exposed to dangerous situations over-time, it will make them constantly on-edge. Their experience has taught them how quickly a seemingly safe situation can go bad and how they need to be ready to use force. The problem is they end up walking around like loose canons. That's why they always over-react to shit and seem so irrational. Most of them are like PTSD veterans with loaded weapons and the authority to do anything. It's actually quite scary to think about. Perhaps the solution isn't to cut police funding but increase psychiatric resources for these fucks. They unironically need it.

Do you think it will be good or a ruin like 3?

The setting will most likely be 1920s - 1930s, and the story will follow Sallieri's life. I really hope that will be the setting, mafia 3 was set too far in the future.

Where else can you go but /pol/ and sometimes a few other boards for uncensored discussion about important social topics, such as race issues? The succubus question? Reddit is censored to hell, twitter is not a discussion board, Faceberg is jewed, etc. An unfortunate fact of all the censorship/centralization of the internet is if you want actual truth you need to sift through the 95% shit to find a tiny nugget of wisdom on such a place.

That's why shitholes like /pol/ are addicting: the reward of filtering through constant retarded garbage to find an original perspective on taboo topics that would be censored everywhere else

Race gets discussed all the time on all three sites, you can't exactly call for genocide but lots of discussion takes place on race. There are thousands of other sites and forums to discuss these things, also.

>the reward of filtering through constant retarded garbage to find an original perspective on taboo topics that would be censored everywhere else
