I live an extremely dull and uneventful life but I like it this way

same. peace is above all

>>941649951 (OP)
>I like it this way

You inadvertently misspelled HAVE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO MEDIOCRITY

>>941649951 (OP)
>I like it this way

Yes. That's called being alive. You have really no choice but to make the best out of things, right?

I mean, even in a fucking prison cell, you have to figure out a way to keep yourself happy, or it will drive you insane.

It's a survival technique. making the most out of any situation, no matter how undesirable it may be

>I would like it a lot better another way
trust me, everybody knows you would be tickled pink if you suddenly had a beautiful cool funny intelligent woman in your life who loved you very much

You wouldn't be complaining at all

>I tell myself I like it this way
And you will continue doing so until finally you reach the point where you can't take it anymore

And you'll take risks

The opposite of dull and boring = risks

AND YOU WILL NEVER ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING WORTHWHILE WITHOUT TAKING A RISK

when will this retard wannabe life coach fuck off and die?

>>941650814
>WORTHWHILE
is it for you to decide what's worthwhile for other people? Not everyone needs to be a main character.

AGAIN: Never accomplish anything memorable or worthwhile without taking risks

>>941650943

Not everybody needs to be a main character in their own life?

Do you have any idea how stupid that just sounded?

"NOT EVERYBODY NEEDS TO BE A MAIN CHARACTER IN THEIR OWN LIFE"

...........................wow

If not you..... then WHO?

>>941650814
You have no idea as to who I am, why are you pretending you do? Avoiding extroverts like yourself is one of the benefits of a quiet existence.

>>941651101
>Do you have any idea how stupid that just sounded?
it sounds stupid to narcissists who can't imagine a world that doesn't revolve around them, to people who can't conceive of a world where they aren't special. My risk averse mediocrity is worthwhile to me. Good day, sir.

>>941649951 (OP)
>I live an extremely dull and uneventful life but I like it this way

Anyone can be the main character. But the true miracle and humility is living a simple life of just being "another person".

I never left home.

The last time I checked, you are THE ONLY MAIN CHARACTER IN YOUR LIFE

You always have been

And you always will be

And believe it or not, I'm actually on your side... I'm not being a dick head at all

I'm simply making an observation:
very often, we tend to find ourselves trapped in our own little "comfort zones"

our own little safe cocoons... It's very human of us... It's a very very human trait

So all I'm saying is this:
YOU WILL NEVER HAVE AMAZING MEMORIES TO LOOK BACK ON WITHOUT TAKING RISKS

And you know it's true

I'm not just talking about YOU™

I'm talking about EVERYBODY

>>941651232

narcissist blah blah blah don't pretend you studied psychology.. Don't try pulling your bullshit about narcissism on me, pal

This has nothing to do with narcissism

and everything to do with YOUR EXISTENCE

You seem to take this as some kind of personal attack...

You seem to think I'm arguing with you or that I'm somehow 'attacking you'...

I'm not...

It's a very generic statement, and it's not even about YOU

It applies to EVERYONE.......

when you look back in retrospect, your fondest memories are going to be events that were actually SCARY while they were happening

like a roller coaster, for example....
roller coasters are terrifying
until the ride stops

at which point, we will always remember it as being FUN

That's all I'm saying...

I'm not attacking you at all....
there's no reason for you to take it personally

there's absolutely no reason for you to be offended by my comment

WHAT WAS SCARY WHILE IT OCCURRED WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED AS "FUN" IN RETROSPECT

You will never acquire amazing memories without taking at least some minimal risks

>>941651284
>anyone can be the main character

It's not like anyone has a choice

The only question at hand is:
Are you casting the character in the most boring movie on Earth, or is there at least a little bit of excitement in the story somewhere?

>>941651422
>chatgpt has entered the chat
Fuck off logfag

again. there's absolutely no reason whatsoever while you should be offended by my comment:

MY COMMENT ISN'T ABOUT YOU AT ALL

I'm talking about the entire human race, not just you.....

AGAIN: when you look back on your life's memories, the things you will perceive as being the most FUN were actually somewhat TERRIFYING while they were happening

whether it's riding a roller coaster...
or that uncomfortable 7 seconds of silence that seemed like an eternity until the client actually accepted your offer and gave you all of the money up front...

or that nervous trembling You subdued while smiling and introducing yourself to her

It's taking risks That creates fond memories

But you'll never fondly look back at being a wallflower

You will never look back in retrospect and cherish memories of sitting on your ass

>>941651611

Are you so fucking stupid You think I'm the log fag?

Do you have any observational skills WHATSOEVER?....

because only a goddamn idiot would confuse me with the log fag

>>941651505
>or is there at least a little bit of excitement in the story somewhere?

Yes, but it's not for you to see.

https://youtu.be/vTsbYbN8VVI?si=YxijSp5E7jfD_-Du

>>941651691
Proof?

see?... see I'm not attacking YOU

(and to be quite candid, I find it slightly narcissistic of you to assume I was referring to you in the first place)


nope.... I'm talking about ALL HUMANS

E V E R Y B O D Y . . .

when we grow older, our fondest memories are of moments that were scary as fuck while we were experiencing them...

and surviving those moments...

understand?

trust me... The older you get the more and more you'll realize how true this is

I keep bringing up roller coasters
because that's the best example

the best fucking example of all
ROLLER COASTERS
The things we remember as being "fun" ALWAYS INVOLVED RISK

And that's just a simple generic statement that applies to every fucking human being so there's no reason for you to assume I'm talking about you

>>941651787
Throte clog ergo plopter clog

>>941651752
lol

......... But seriously

It's 100% true.....

when I look back at my life, the only things that really pop into mind are THINGS THAT SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME But I survived them somehow

those are my fondest memories

THE FABRIC OF LIFE IS UNIQUE
because the silky smooth sections are soon forgotten

And it's the bumpy hemlines you will remember most fondly

>>941651829

like the time me and three of my buddies ended up getting enough fist fight with these other assholes at a nightclub and it was all over taking a parking space, and after they got their ass beat (we all got our asses beat) they jumped into their car and screeched out of the parking lot MY CRAZY FRIEND JUMPED ON THE HOOD OF THEIR CAR AND SMASHED THE WINDSHIELD OUT OF THEIR MOTHER FUCKING CAR WITH HIS FEET

And of course we didn't know what those guys had guns, and we knew the cops would be there so we jumped in our car and screeched off and

WE LAUGHED OUR ASSES OFF WHEN WE GOT HOME

see what I'm talking about?
I look at that shit now and it seems like so much fun

It was crazy It was really spontaneous and dangerous and WE HAD A FUCKING BLAST

But I can't remember any of those wonderful quiet moments at home with my girlfriends, safe and warm and enjoying movies and drinking hot cocoa and having sex... for some reason, those memories are all gone

but using brass knuckles to punch a guy named Luigi in the back of the head after while he was attacking my brother with a motorcycle chain inside the nightclub called 688?... That's another one of my fond fun memories...

It's always the crazy scary shit that you'll look back on and smile the widest

>>941651661
I look at my friends and relatives lives with kids running around or arguing, dogs barking, television or shit music blaring, neighbors constantly dropping by.
If this is living correctly I prefer to stay wrong.

My friend was a soccer player and he was fucking nuts and he was a badass He wasn't afraid of shit

I had no idea he was going to jump on their fucking car like that

And they were screeching and he was hanging on by the windshield wiper AND HE KICKED THEIR MOTHER FUCKING WINDSHIELD IN

they finally screeched and took a hard left and flung him off the hood of their car about half a block down the road

It was dangerous as fuck

It was scary as shit

we drove down there and he jumped in the car and we sped off and went home and laughed our asses off

I give anything to raise some hell like that right now

It was just exhilarating

>>941652054
You are the puer aeternis

>>941651829
darn near funny

>>941652054

well sir, if I can be completely honest with you....

...............I TOTALLY RELATE............

I RELATE 100%, BELIEVE IT OR NOT

me? I can't stand the human race
And that's not just me being poetic or edgy

I have a deep-seated hatred for humans, including myself and I really just don't like people in general. I spent all of my time working with animals instead of people because THE HUMAN RACE DISGUSTS ME

So I'm totally I'm the same page when it comes to isolationism

................. But then again
That's no reason not to grab some crazy opportunities to make some of the most amazing memories of your life

while you're still young enough to do it

That's no reason not to dabble your toes into the swimming pool of society

But yeah... I totally dig it.
like I said, I'm not attacking anybody

I'm just making a very generic statement
WITH RISK COMES AMAZING MEMORIES

What's up with all the AI replies?
This board has gone to shit.

>>941652054

and keep in mind I never said anything about kids running around or having dogs grilling in the backyard or neighbors barking or an endless stream of visitors

All I'm saying is

I'm totally on the same page when it comes to isolationism

yet I am a huge proponent of "YOU AND ME AGAINST THE WORLD"

.......... having a teammate

It makes it all worthwhile.........
It makes it all so much more worthwhile®

(because my wife and I both isolate as a team, and although of course everyone is forced to interact with society to one degree or another, we always retreat to our own private little bubble and surround ourselves with animals and the rest of the world fades away)
TEAMWORK

having a teammate makes life more worthwhile, whether you admit it or not

>>941652355
>AI

I'm surprised you'd find anything intelligent about me at all, whether artificial or organic

And now that we're conversing, this would probably be a good time to remind you home depot's going to be closing around 10:00 p.m.

You might want to go grab a ladder so your tongue can reach my nut sack

DO NOT EVER INTERRUPT ME AGAIN WHEN I AM POSTING

And I'm fully aware different strokes for different folks

And I've actually secretly spent my life griping about not having a year to myself

Believe it or not I was always griping about not having time just to myself

So I can relate

You have the right to be happy
however you choose

All I'm saying is
REGARDING A DULL BORING LIFE:
you'll end up regretting it

I promise you will eventually look back and regret that you didn't take more risks

to one degree or another

Not necessarily big risks

But risks, nonetheless

>>941652383
Fuck you and your AI shit

Boomers seem to enjoy being secluded and quiet in their mansions.

>>941652528
i actually regret when I did take risks actually because the times I did take risks were the worst times of my life and I wound up hating every second of it, so no you're wrong, not everyone will get out of a boring life when taking risks, to fucking assume that people have never taken risks before is just baffling. We've taken risks, we've failed, we prefer dull and boring because of the failures.

It was 1996 and the Olympics were coming to Atlanta, Jets mother and I were headed to Memphis to visit friends, when my car broke down on I-20 headed out of Atlanta

So I was already in a little bit of a pissy mood when we had to start walking back down the expressway

Long story but we really had no choice at that moment but to start walking

So by the time I walked my ass down I-20 and approached the house of blues, I was already in a cranky fucking mood

And when the creative coordinator named Colleen showed me the 4-ft by 4 ft design (picrel - That is the exact line art she wanted reproduced on a 4x4 ft piece of plywood) And she asked me how much would it cost....

And I estimated the price of the plywood and the black and white paint, and figured I could do the job for under $100 and it would take me less than half an hour to complete...

..........well, I was already in a cranky mood

"$8,000"

and Colleen looked at me with a shocked look on her face and asked me, "You're going to charge me EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS????!!"

" YES "

And there was a silent pause, So uncomfortable It seemed to last forever...

" OKAY NO PROBLEM! " And she wrote a check for $4,000, the 50% deposit from the job

I would have painted the thing for $300

sometimes you just have to go out on a ledge

Angie and I cashed the check and I got my car fixed and we went and bought some really good pot and some ecstasy and partied our asses off

>>941652594

yep... although I hate the human race, I would hate to experience my existence without a teammate, without a best friend who's got my back, and also happens to have a VAGINA

somehow, it completes the circle

But then again, how would you know? Right?

amirite? HOW THE FUCK WOULD YOU KNOW?

>>941652695

well... I'm sorry things didn't work out for you

But notice I never said every risk ended with positive results

no sir.. along with risks comes the acceptance that you might roll snake eyes

getting shot down goes with the territory

A bouncing BBC gangbang is pretty risky, it definitely worthwhile

>>941652904
ok but what about when it keeps happening every time you take a risk to the point where you're now stuck on Social security because you have a fucked up back from doing 1 of the fucking risks taking you speak of? So no ou're wrong, taking a risk doesn't always fucking pay off.

GOD DAMN IT I FUCKED UP!!!!!!!

I forgot to attach the image

This is the actual line drawing Colleen wanted painted for the House of blues.

she wanted it exactly like this on a 4x4 panel of plywood

she wanted it to look rustic, on a piece of plywood, just a simple black and white line drawing

I WOULD HAVE PAINTED IT FOR $300, INCLUDING MATERIALS

instead, I decided what the fuck I'm going to take a risk here and I asked her for EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS

And she gave it to me

It literally took me like 15 minutes to paint the fucking thing and it was so simple and easy.. like I said... I would have done it for $300, including materials

>>941652977

I just got done saying taking risks does not always pay off... hell no

of course not

But at least you tried

>>941653023
but then what the fuck is the point of taking risks if you wind up in my situation? its fucked. I wish I would've just stayed at a boring job saying "welcome to burger king" at least I wouldn't be fucking paralyzed.

I was concerned I might shoot myself in the foot if I asked too much, but I was in a pissy mood about my car breaking down, so I just looked at Colleen and told her $8,000...

and if you could see the expression on her face during that moment of silence

lol That was the scary part

hahahaha

That uncomfortable moment of silence afterwards... ouch!!

But yeah.. she said yes.

thank God I took a risk
thank God I didn't say $300

>>941652986
Take you fucking AI and get the fuck out of my thread.

>>941653094

Do you realize you're much stronger now than you were before you were paralyzed, sir?

And I'm not blowing smoke up your ass at all

DON'T YOU REALIZE YOU ARE MUCH STRONGER NOW THAN BEFORE?

>>941653152
but i'm not, i'm literally collecting fucking paycheck after paycheck of from SSI hoping these fucking niggers open the government up again soon so I can get my fucking foodstamps again.

In ways that the average person would never even be able to comprehend

Yes you experienced loss

But it actually made you stronger
able to handle even more than you thought you could handle

>>941653223
thats such a fucking bullshit copout, i don't give a fuck, i want my old life back you fucking nigger.

>>941653198

You mentioned paralysis....

I've known a few people in my life who got paralyzed, and I can tell you first hand, it made all of them stronger

they became much more resilient human beings

And I'm not trying to sound poetic
It's absolutely true. they all became much more resilient

>>941653261
yea not me lmfao it made me dependant on government.

>>941653259

I'm just telling you would I've experienced firsthand

My anecdotal experiences with my real life friends who happened to become paralyzed

Shepherd spinal clinic, Atlanta Georgia.. Long story

very familiar

I used to date a nurse at Piedmont hospital so... Shepherd spinal clinic...


yeah... they all became much more badass after the paralysis

>>941653310
good for you? not everyone is like the people you experience.

>>941653259
>I want my old life back

EVERYBODY DOES

JOIN THE CLUB

........................... bad news
none of us ever get it back

>>941653338
yea so why fucking take risks then?

I took a risk and fucked a girl that was 16 when I was 21, she had a kid and told me to kill myself, 3 years later she takes me to court to try and get child support from me. Now I barely survive paycheck to paycheck because half my paycheck is going towards a kid that I never wanted in the first place, but taking risks is great right? No i'm fucking suffering while this bitch gets half of my paycheck. Fuck you.
