Can not having friends really fuck you up like that?

Your mind can only really deteriorate if you have a shitty diet.

>Yes, your brain will sting you permanently for not having sex,
actually grow up, for the sake of your family and friends.

>tfw this happened to me

spot on.

having no relationships is a sign of being childish

An already unhinged person left to stew in their own juices is more likely to go off the deep end, yeah. Nothing inherently bad about solitude though.

How do people not have friends Ir girlfriends? How do you let something like that happen? Can’t wrap my head around it.

>this kills the Adachi

Uh, coping phase already?
Don't end like this guy.

Hey at least im not constantly thinking of sex like you, degenerate. The fact you even used your shit filled brain to cope with the fact you're a fat loser is amusing. please oh wise Yea Forums man tell us anons how we you understand the human mind so well? God fat retards like you deserve the rope.

Adachi did nothing wrong.

Not having meaningful connections, despite yearning for them, yes.

>getting caught
yes, he did fuck up

>just b urself :)

What if all my friends agree in fucking the entire world up?

>oh hey there's this girl i knew from highschool

hello, mr Yea Forums armchair philosopher and grand projectioner, how has your day been? believe it ir not, most people who arent weak willed fags like yourself continue to function. Leave the computer for a day and see.

Anyone else have the power to make normalfags fly into a seething rage? I'm talking red in the face, tearing up, voice cracking, screaming at the peak of their lungs at me.

No it does that for everyone. That's why hermits are all fucking batshit weirdos. Not interacting with other humans for long periods of time is scientifically proven to fuck you up. Even so called "introverts" desire some form of interaction every once in a while. We're a social species for a reason.

PROTIP: If you're on NEETbux and living alone or don't feel like interacting with your co-workers, then volunteer for something. Having an excuse to interact with people like that does a lot to lift your mood.

Not being able to have sympathy, or better yet posting bait on Yea Forums, are clear signs of having autism.

The darkest places in my life were when I was alone and isolated. I don't know if you specifically need friends, but even acquaintances can do a lot of good for your mental health. It depends on the individual I suppose, but I sure as shit can't handle that.

Loneliness has a deep effect on the psyche of an individual. Long story short, it makes you think much more negatively of other people, you interpret the social cues as being much more negative than they are, which makes the issue worse as you become more anxious/'convinced' that everyone hates you.

We're social group animals, these are old instinct that once upon a time helped us determine if people are upset at our actions in the group (allowing us to fix the problem and not get kicked out and die). In the modern age, these instincts are kind of all tied up and unsure on what to do because of the nature of communities these days

That never happened. Incels like you are the ones that go into giant fits. Mr. r/nice guys.

Damn that's one based Illithid. What's the comic?

Adachi was poisoned from the start, which is sort of the tragedy of his character. He's a pretty normal guy, but warped by a sense of entitlement. He's pissed he got sent to 'the boonies' (Despite the fact Inaba is a pretty chill place to live with decent people), has a warped view of women, and when given any power (Police + The TV powers) uses it to kill. Twice. He could see what happened to folks who get dropped into the TV world (Death) but did it again because he could, and then afterwards encouraged the Post dude to continue, manipulating him into thinking he was doing a good thing.

If Adachi could improve as a person, it would have had to have happened incredibly early. Hell, Persona 4 Golden slaps the players hand for trying to befriending him and then hiding his crimes.

It's been a while since I played, forgive me if I'm generalizing.

People are missing something about Adachi
>Be craved over acceptance and attention
>See reporter during midnight channel
>She must be my soulmate
>Try fucking her
>Gets rejected
>Does one murder already
>Decides to double the fuck down

In concept he would've been a tragic hero. In the execution (flashbacks) he just becomes an edgy fucking loser.

I cant believe that Yukari thread hit over 250 replies! Also wouldnt you guys say that Adachi had a better motive then akechi?

Before the thread gets archived here’s a quick summary:
>I can’t deal with isolation so that means everyone who is isolated is fucked up like me! You NEED sex to do basic functions and be a good person!

The whole plot if Persona 5 was all over the fucking place.

Question for you persona fags?

Are the games worth it if you know what happens (4) and which ones are the best

That's the tragedy of Adachi though. He's otherwise normal, but he's got a terrible sense of entitlement and misplaced persecution concept, despite the fact that he has a stable job in a pretty chill area, and the most serious crimes that Dojima gets stressed over (and gets pissed at Adachi by proxy) are essentially Adachi's fault.

The tragedy of Adachi is that he's too damn entrenched into his 'Bitches and Whores, the world sucks, i'm a big fat loser' to ever get out of that hole he made himself.

Which is probably why he's one of Yea Forums's meme boy wonders, because he's a pretty good mirror for the stereotypical Yea Forums regular

In terms of straight up isolation with no interaction whatsoever like hermits and shit. Yeah that can probably fuck you up

Just not having personal friends but still interacting with people in a generally friendly manner? Only fucks up edgelords or weak people.

Do you have any sources on this. Sounds interesting.

They're all pretty good, in their own ways. However, thematically, as a Media major fag, Persona 4 hits a personal soft spot. It's got a lot more relevance in the Digital Age since the entire story's theme is about misinformation, lies, truth, etc.

Persona 5 is thematically sloppy and kind of all over the place.

>t.actually a fucking nutjob that everyone hates but doesn't realize it

You're not entirely without options! Your situation just makes things difficult, but not impossible. You have to make an effort to go out, and find something to do that's in a social setting. Do you like drawing? Check to see if your city has any walk in Life drawing programs. Go out and Do Something, even if it's awkward at first.

Make an effort to think positive. Ask yourself if the interaction you had with someone is actually bad, or if your monkey brain is just struggling to read things.

Being lonely, and being alone, are different things. Some people thrive off of alone time, but may still have some friends or family they like hanging with.

Kurzgesagt has a pretty good video regarding loneliness, but i'll just share the big ass source page it has. If you have access to something like a University database, you could probably find the information to back it up further

not that user but I think that's a pretty natural conclusion to come to about that sort of thing
when you're lonely long enough you start thinking too hard about yourself, others, how life is, etc. but then you start over-analyzing both the positive and negative in everything to the point hwere if you do it long enough you've basically convinced yourself that's how it is
Adachi came to the same conclusion after being lonely for so long that it's why he has his "bitches and whores" mentality
It can also apply to men and women in real life that say they hate the opposite sex. Past grievances with the opposite sex aside, it's possible to just start thinking that way if you don't have a moderate amount of interaction with them though this isn't a guaranteed outcome it is likely

Yes, actually

They were both given the power to get into the tv, Adachi only had the dojima social link while P4 Chad had like 7 girlfriends.

i feel the same way about p2 actually, since the structure of the game is pretty much built around "meme magic" affecting reality.
>Persona 5 is thematically sloppy and kind of all over the place.
i don't agree. the whole point of p5 is pretty simple: it's a wake-up call to japanese adults that they're failing their children by maintaining such a fucked-up society.

Im getting the sense that those shitty effin boomers is a worldly thing now.

No there were people in the past who died virgins. Albeit through religious means.

considering that at least some of the villains' storylines were based on real news stories from japan, yeah, you're not wrong.

Adachi was right, Yu played his dumb detective games with his friends but didn't know shit about the adult world. Bitches and whores were a pain and it was funny so he pushed them, they got themselves killed by their shadows anyway.

Not having friends in anime land is equivalent to being a literal murderer. In Adachis case he was both.

Prolonged loneliness and social isolation activates the same responses in people that torture and pain do.

So yes, it can.

>"If I call him an Incel, I'll automatically be right!"

Women live their entire lives on Easy Mode and get bitchy when they (rightfully) get looked down upon.

But Persona 5 should have been about adult protagonists, then. It would have been a much better way to illustrate the point.

From experience yes. Me and my brother are pretty similar in most ways, yet he had friends who understand him so he lives a normal life. I used to get beat up so its an upward struggle.

Yes, I'm a 26 year old kissless virgin and has made me very bitter towards the world, especially when normalfags keep making fun of my kissless virginity either on TV or irl. Like if I go outside I'd end up seeing some people being all touchy and affectionate with each other or I will be at home and turn on my TV and literally the first thing that pops up on screen are too people kissing and this has happened too many times which is why I know the world is making fun of me and always constantly reminding me of my loneliness.

Adachi was right and did nothing wrong

is this satire?

It could, if most interactions dont end up well then it works like a vicious self fulfilling prophecy. In a way MC got lucky though Adachi still acted like a cunt and had it coming. Its worse when some people shame you for not having relationships and people become more enclosed with their own circles. Still, being lonely is better than being in bad company or company where you cant be yourself or relaxed.

No I'm being serious

>Yu played his dumb detective games with his friends but didn't know shit about the adult world.
neither did adachi. he's still pretty young himself, and he's a manchild with an unrealistic view of the world. he expected to be handed everything in life on a silver platter and had a mental breakdown when it didn't happen, getting multiple people killed in the process.

Night In the Woods does what Persona 5 does better but in less time in a much more depressing manner

It's also not a game though. At least P5 has rpg bits in the visual novel

Yea Forums is not the friend you want.

>Go out and Do Something, even if it's awkward at first.
While my mind knows you are probably right, my soul thinks you are full of shit.
I probably just need to see a shrink just for them to say the same things. Cannot believe what anyone says unless they have credentials.

Pretty much! It doesn't even need to be meme magic, it's that how we communicate and talk about stories can have an affect on our perceptions of things.

Like, a lot of Persona 4 is less about remaking yourself, but accepting that the Shadows are a reflection to how the characters come across as to strangers. It's less that the Shadows are an objective inner truth, but they are a perceived 'truth' that an outsider would apply to a character.

Identity is a cooperative process - what you put forward, and how people see and interpret you. What kills you isn't the Shadow people percieve you as having itself, but you denying that the outside perception may have an impact on who you are.

Sometimes, you have to confront that...yeah, you kinda come across as an asshole sometimes, but you don't do yourself a favor by vehemently denying it without trying to examine why people might see you as an asshole.

Isn't Media Studies fun?

Are you a fag? You sound like a fucking faggot.

See
What a wonderful case study. Maybe the reason why someone is calling this person an Incel is because he is displaying Incel like traits, and is currently making a fool of himself by being contrarian.

You can also examine the 'whys' of how certain women get money handed to them on a platter - nothing exists in a void. Have you considered maybe these women put explicit effort into cultivating a marketable personality for the purpose of baiting the typical thirsty dudes who throw money at whatever gets them going?
Consider the opposite - what of women who don't put that effort to make themselves marketable to the typical guy, like masculine or butch women, would they too have life on easy mode?

I am a loner but I don't hate women nor do I want to gas Jews.

To put into perspective, I actually don't like Night in the Woods very much. I personally think it would do much better as a novel with the occasional pictures

Wait a fucking second is that Jesus Christ as a Madoka Magica magical girl?

It's pretty normal to feel that way, honestly. And it's just your monkey brain being helpful (Being skeptical of things you're not sure of)

If you think you need to talk to a therapist, then listen to your gut feeling. But it's important to reach out and make connections. Or even just make yourself feel briefly like you belong somewhere. Do volunteer work if you're in a position to spend time doing work for no pay.

I know this all probably sounds like White Suburban Mom tier 'just do yoga!' bullshit, but life and being happy is work. Life in general is work. That is a truth you cannot escape. But whats important is finding work that makes you feel good. Talking and getting to know people, cooking nice meals for yourself, doing your laundry and keeping a clean room - it sounds like bogus advice, but so long as you can do something, and stick with it, it improves your mood a great deal.

That's what I did and now my balls are all fucked up from fapping too much and will probably never be the same since I still can't stop.

It's the learned helplessness and how to get around it. It's the best thing I can think of to describe it. It's pretty easy to sit around and browse media all day and do nothing - you can quickly pick up and learn that nothing matters so why bother doing things?

A mouse put into an unwinnable maze for long enough will lose all hope - even when you stick it in a winnable maze, the mouse stops bothering to look for cheese. Until you show it that it can indeed be solved. By doing small things that are important to being a healthy person, doing laundry, cleaning your home up, learning how to cook good food, you can slowly unlearn some of that hopelessness. Also you get the bonus of not being a complete waste of space if you're in a group living situation.

Complete seriousness, if you have to pick up one semi-creative skill to cultivate in life, make it cooking. Everyone likes food. Being able to cook and take care of yourself unprompted low-key automatically puts you above good looking guys that have one braincell and need a second mother to take care of them

Also if you struggle so much with your virginity:

Pay a hooker

Having friends is what (((they))) want you to do to distract you from reality.
