Is it really like this?

You can easily get a gf, just go outside

>>211738187 (OP)
Yes. Especially when you’re finding a relationship with a type of person you didn’t expect

>>211738187 (OP)
Assholes all around chans and reddit would tell me "hurr durr getting a gf would NOT fix your problems" when it literally would. All my problems as a human derive from being a loner lacking human contact and people constantly ignoring my existence.

>>211738232
I strongly feel like you're missing a few steps.

>>211738187 (OP)
Yes. I met my wife of now over ten years by literally posting an incel rant on a dating site. I just put in my profile about how I'll die alone and I'm fine with that because the world sucks and everyone is gay and retarded. She messaged me first and asked if I wanted to hang out.

A suburban raised college educated black gf would fix me

yes, actually
therapy, exercise, medication.. nothing holds a candle to the feeling of being in a secure long lasting relationship with a beautiful woman who loves you completely. It's just how it is.

>>211738187 (OP)
Yes, until the honeymoon phase is over. Then you have a whole different set of problems.

>>211738347
But then retards will tell you "You have to make yourself worthy of a gf" and when you put in their idea of work and still don't have one, they just say you're not entitled to anything

>>211738187 (OP)
Actually, Lt. Dan's life turns around when he fights the storm and makes his peace with God.

It's after that where everything starts to turn around for him. The girlfriend is a perk of his spiritual reformation.

It drastically helps, yeah. You still get that deep melancholy from time to time but since you can't show it without having her break into a crying fit you have to bottle it up and your alone time is much more valuable now so you have less opportunity to dwell on the void.
Also knowing you have someone that picked you to be special and provides you with copious physical touch heals your brain some.

On the downside I don't feel like the cool badass loner doomcel with nothing to lose weaving through traffic on my motorcycle anymore.

he's literally me

Its no so much any of that stuff that made his life better. Its that he finally realized 99% of his problems were shit he made up in his own head. You stop getting in your own way and suddenly you realize the only real obstacle to your happiness was you

>>211739883
Me on the right

>>211738347
they're the other side of the coin as the people who say "money doesn't buy happiness"
virtually every problem in my life would go away if I had more money and THAT would fucking make me happy

>>211738465
Finding out later in life that most black women have fake hair was kind of shocking and it still weirds me out. I rarely encounter them but when I do I always pay attention to the hair. Strange!

I think the idea is that it’s never enough and there is never one thing that will “fix” your life. Getting a gf and more money would improve your Iives, probably very substantially, but it would not “fix your problems” and this very mindset will prevent you from ever attaining genuine contentment. Life is not something to be fixed it is a journey.

You see many examples where rich, famous and talented people fall into the abyss of drugs, womanizing, conspicuous consumption and even premature death. The autopsy shows a cocktail of drugs for depression, anxiety, mood stabilizing and opioids. These are people who had everything and kept wondering why it wasn’t enough and eventually sought refuge in the ultimate materialistic joy: chemistry to directly modify their feelings. And of course look at the children of people who have been handed such riches, they often are in even worse shape.

You need to enjoy life now and embrace the path of self improvement, experience and trying to get what you want. Grind away at the gym, force yourself in uncomfortable social situations, get offline and away from the screen, improve your job prospects through education/networking/hustling, whatever. It’s not the endpoint you should focus on but life itself; the reward and joys are affirmations and brief moments to savor not to dwell on.

If I described my life you wouldn’t believe me or you’d think how happy you’d be with what I have. I would have thought I’m living the dream years ago but I still have work stress, traffic, the odd relationship problems with my wife and kids, anxieties and so on. Life will always be like this you just have to always be pushing yourself while enjoying or at least being self aware in the moment whenever possible. A bit of amor fati is good too as long as you don’t get too hung up on the determinism thing.

>>211738187 (OP)

i understand what you're saying but you dont see how negative that sounds bc a lot of people just need a little bit of help to fix their problems and telling them, "no this isn't what you need" isn't really gonna help.

Yes there is moron. Unless you're completely retarded and selfish and just plain shit as a person. Like all the "le depressed" rich retards. Give me your fucking stuff and then see how depressed you are morons.

>>211738347
>All my problems as a human derive from being a loner lacking human contact and people
The ironic thing is it is teh exact opposite for me.
All my problems in my entire life are created by others and if I was on my own, completely I would be at everlasting peace.
Including a woman, who of course has caused the most of the issues in my life.
Soon as I decided to become a loner, move to a city on my own and stop socializing, my life became peaceful. With the only times it has had issues is because of others. Like people at jobs, or landlords and girlfriends.

>>211741755
There is obviously a middle ground where a little bit of fortune goes a long way and too much just corrupts. But getting a gf or extra income isn’t charity it is something you need to acquire yourself and the path towards obtaining these things is sometimes more significant than the so-called reward, at least looking backwards.

A gf would enrich your life but if you can’t get a gf it is probably an indicator of poor social skills, too much time behind a screen instead of living IRL, unhealthy habits and so on. Give someone with these traits a gf and they won’t suddenly be lifted out of their rut. Give money to a homeless person and chances are they won’t use it responsibly to turn their life around they’ll just squander it because that’s why they’re in their current mess.

>>211745752
You just don’t have the critical thinking or empathy to see the big picture. The life you complain about would be a dream of luxury and security to the majority of humans alive and who have ever lived: so why aren’t you happy and content? You have a valid excuse apparently yet people more fortunate than you don’t?

>>211747443
>I want to be alone

Kek don’t mistaken your dismissive-avoidant attachment style for true introversion. You secretly crave people you have just built up a defense mechanism hence you gravitate around people but on your own distant terms. Sad!

>>211747928
You misunderstand, because you are a retard.
Firstly I am not wealthy, so I cant go and buy acres of land and live in a small house in a rural area (which causes its own issues as rural areas are insular communities)
So I have to stay WHERE THE MONEY IS...i.e JOBS. Which is in cities.
Secondly, like I stated above, rural communities are close knit and insular.
I have lived in rural areas, have more issues with people in work places because they are local insular communities and I am an "outsider" as well as I have lived in small communities, commune like accommodation and have issues there.
Being in a large city, one can stay virtuously and completely anonymous.
I have lived in my current property for 11 years and have not spoken to a neighbour in all that time. Well outside of getting or giving a package delivery dropped at one of theirs, or my place.
My barber, when I was getting barber knew I hated idle conversation as well as getting my haircut so would just do it fast so I can GTFO.
Then small talk with local shopkeepers here and there.
I dont need to communicate with people.
On the flip side the city I lived in, was born in, I had (have) a massive vibrant social life. Lots of friends, family and know people from my childhood, so could barely go anywhere without being known.
See the fucking difference retard.
Try it yourself, go move to a massive city completely on your own and see how inconspicuous you can be if you stop socializing.
Though lets be real, you dont socialize because you are a retard.
Where I choose to be solitary, you are forced to because you are a pariah.

The only thing that kept me related to people was my mother, before she died, and desire for sex, so seeking girlfriends, and when i was in my youth I wanted a family. Those things are all gone now and prozzys are easy to find as any other service on the internet, so no need to socialize with women at all any more.
Becomes liberating.

>>211747928
>true introversion
Also, I am not an introvert you retard.
I am not a loner because a lack of ability in social skills. I be on my own as people are just an inconvenience that cause drama and issues. I no longer find entertainment in idle conversation.
I dont have malice for people, neither and I socially retarded.

This scene would have hit harder if Forrest had a flashback to the war and upon sight of the enemy VC, immediately stormed over to stomp her brains in.

she was so fucking neurotic and resented her adoptive parents that had "stolen" her from her homeland, she'd gone back numerous times and said she only really felt at home there despite living her entire life in middle America
