Come now user, answer one of my questions: what are you doing on Yea Forums?

You crave to play pretend? If your post was honest, tell me and I’ll help you see its inherent flaws. If your post was dishonest and you are actually accusing me, come; bring your accusations to the forefront of our discussion and lay them out before us so we can determine which are true and which are not.

The latter, Socrates - my self hatred is a result of my stubborn avoidance of obstacles. I have big dreams but I'm too scared to pursue them. I'm too scared of people too, even just looking at someone in public when not under the influence of alcohol is enough to make me feel physically ill. I think this is because I have spent too long at home doing nothing. Now my brain seems to be used to the comfort of daydreaming all day and shitposting and sleeping, so used to it that even something mildly discomforting to most people is a catastrophe to me. I've spent years trying to solve this issue but I only get worse.

Wondering if there's any way for me to post a link to my works that won't get me banned for life or chewed out. Then I remember where I am...

I'm hurting myself with cynism and partaking of a mindless circlejerk of memes about completelly irrelevant authors and obsolete political ideas so i can pretend that I'm smart and I'M LOVING EACH SECOND OF IT THANK YOU.

Waiting for "By Zeus!"

Not OP but just post a link to a pastebin that will have the link to your works there

Book recommendation, and satisfy my internet addiction that leveled my imagination to ground zero; and it's too scary.

Tell me if I understand: you have goals you've set before yourself, but you have a fear of pursuing them. Your fellow Man also scare you. You mention these things in close proximity, so I feel as if there's some connection. Do you feel there is? Further, you say that you believe that the fear you hold of pursuing your goals may have been caused by not pursuing them. There have been times user, where I've accidentally allowed the sun to fall on my bare eye. Staining my vision was the image of the sun where the sun was not. Perhaps your situation is similar. I'm suggesting that the goals you've once set before you are merely the afterimage of those bright endeavors you thought yourself to pursue at some time in the past. Lastly, you say that you've spent a year trying to solve this issue, but have only found it getting worse. Can you tell me the approaches you've taken towards the solution you seek?

Can you tell me more about obsolete political ideas? user here and I were discussion the possibility of one's past goals being mere afterimages of that which lies before us. Explain your idea to me, so I can better understand it.

No, I'm being honest. I know it's not healthy, but I just don't have the energy to do better right now. Life is just too much.

to brag about my 130 IQ and to call other people pseuds so I can convince myself that I'm not a failure

Choosing to waste what little time I have on this godforsaken earth by lurking on some self proclaimed geniuses battle it out over whether or not women are people

Yea Forums is its own thing. And once you get it, it’s very fun. But that’s not why I am here. I truly stopped coming a long time ago. I returned because of butterfly poster. If she disappears I’ll probably go back to coming every once in awhile. That I see someone here everyday trying to play an active role on a literature board I find very beautiful. And I like that kind of dedication. So I’m inspired and try to participate and contribute the best I can .

I don't even know any more

Socrates wouldn't say that: he would say
>the way a lover turns away from the boy he loves once the boy has lost his bloom?

In response to your first question - yes, I do feel that they're connected. I will not go into precise details due to personal reasons, but my goal has to do with improving my country and the people's lives in it, which is of course closely related to directly pursuing Man. The situation you spoke of does seem to be similar to mine. I've tried to return to school in order to help pursue my goal, both slowly (only a couple of hours of attending per day) and head first into full time education because I was told that I'd get used to it eventually. But no matter how I approach my goal, I get scared away by things so ordinary to other people, like a horse startled by something so harmless as the light rustling of leaves.

Enjoy the degeneracy.

You confuse me, user. You say you brag to convince yourself you're not a failure. Bragging is excessive pride and boastful talk about one's achievements or possessions. One should be prideful in good taste concerning his endowments. However, exercising this pride to convince yourself that you aren't a failure doesn't follow. Take for example the common conception of knowledge. There is theory, which exists in the platonic realm as a perfect idea, and then there are the fruits of the theory which can be applied and experienced here as you and I know things to be.

Now, knowledge must first be gleaned from the platonic realm in a similar way a loving couple would prepare a nursery for the arrival of a baby. And only after conception does the originally platonic idea begin to grow roots as we can experience it. In the same way, you must apply your endowment to things as they exist on this Earth before you come about the fruits of success.

user, how can you expect to improve the lives of your countrymen without being apart of them?

Come now, O brave author! Explain to the men and women of Yea Forums what a reader can expect!

I don't expect it. Which is why I only dream rather than act.

Pressure free social interaction, to quote a classic screencap. Not to mention people on Yea Forums are at least somewhat more genuine than elsewhere

By dream, surely you mean conceptualize what such a task would entail? Is this not the first step in making such realities true? Is this not the first step to learning? My time on Yea Forums has come to end as the setting of a sun closes day. Strive onward, fellow user!

I feel like those two sentences work against each other. The only time I feel totally pressure free here is when I'm shitposting, the more genuine my posts are the more it feels real when someone argues against them.
Maybe I'm just too insecure.

Anons here are usually generous and knowledgeable enough to recommend enjoyable books.

You can expect a story about a young lady who has a latex and bondage fetish to be grabbed by a cult of latex bondage fetishists to be fed to their "deity" only to discover that she and it have similar tastes. Thus she begins the process of fusing with the creature as it lives inside her between the places her atoms don't reach. The creature can manifest clothing on her (And other things) and keeps her safe while she tries to unravel a mystery about missing girls in the town. The bonus book in the collection jumps the shark as they travel to a different reality and have an adventure dealing with pirates, wizards and pirate wizards.

Wasting my life.

Keeping myself from the instant gratification of other forms of media. I am incredibly poor at exercising self control and need to change my hedonistic ways, which I’m mainly doing by avoiding gaming, porn, and drugs at any cost. While Yea Forums is certainly not the best way of cultivating a respect for long-term happiness, it is better than my other vices and I am spending much more time reading, exercising, and socializing than I have previously.

That sounds pretty hot, desu.

Please come back once you've rested, dear Socrates. Hopefully I will make progress by then.

Good night, Socrates. Thank you for the wake-up call.

I think it is, but that's because I wrote it. Anyway, this review sums it up fairly well.

"Venom minus rage plus bondage

If you like latex, bondage, and shiny black alien symbiotes, have I got a book for you!
The plot dashes at a pace that keeps you eager for the next sequence, with plenty of interludes of fantastical steamy scenes. Enjoy!"

You know, it feels really great to get a review like this. It's exactly the kind of person I want reading my stuff.

I'll read it when I have some free time to be able to digest it. If the thread is still up then, I'll let you know what I thought. Thanks either way, user.

I am eternally curious to see what user has to say.

uhhh, I love you.
