I'VE BEEN A FOOL TO MYSELF

I THOUGHT THAT I COULD

You guys ever think about how all our time spent here is meaningless and regardless of the archives, posts are insignificant thoughts that die off by the end of a thread, never to produce anything meaningful? How anons you interact with, for better or worse, will kill themselves or die without your knowledge as the board slowly becomes something that alienates you because you can’t adapt to the changes and proven fact that most users are new and changing it with cancer brought from the outside? How none of the mods or Hiro care about the site anymore or at least Sup Forums?

not like I'd produce anything meaningful anywhere else
not like I care about any of those either

And how that transience is universal and a good thing?
Looks like we accidentally invented zen Buddhism

I spent that time with someone who spoke my language so it's the opposite of wasted for me. I'll never forget her.

Not to forget that it fucked up my social life. I’ve always been a loner, so it’s obviously not the fault of the site, it’s mine and mine alone but I got the impression that it’s ok to be alone here. Here I am now, 28, and the loneliness is slowly killing myself, I never cared about it but the past 8 months have been awful for some reason. But I have no friends, I have no social skills, I don’t know how to acquire them. Maybe it’s time to waste all my money and then off myself. Living like this is no joy. I want all the thoughts in my head to stop. They are truly killing me and women keep rejecting me too. Despite me going to the gym, have a car, a stable job. They don’t even give me the chance to get them to know me.

You don't have your (you). Someone took it and you need to earn it back.

What?

It's never too late for a change user. It can be as simple as finding a hobby you like and getting to know people that way. You seem like you're capable of intelligent thought so you can figure social situations just fine with practice. As long as you just meet people similar to you you can slowly become part of social circles again.

Literally Hey Jude

sometimes when I'm very drunk I start up EoE for feels.
I doesn't take long till I break down crying.

I don't want to be some kind of fucking armchair therapist, but that user's at a point where they have to prove themselves and earn their place among the living. Otherwise they'll end up under a bridge in a month, old cold river or otherwise.

Stop liking girls, user. They are cruel. If men treat you better, there's no problem to go beyond friendship with them.

Like how?

I was there a year ago. user needs reason to live, something beyond sport or hobby or any other sort of compensation.
What if the opposite is true? If she can hurt you, you might mean something to her.

>blogposting
your natural instincts are telling you to get off your ass and stop killing yourself mentally. if you want my advice, if you're still young enough you should take up a sport and get good enough to join a rec league or play at your local venue, you'll be able to actually meet and make friends with people.

What kind of reason? How do I figure that out? I want affection of the opposite sex for once in my life, god damnit.

Zen Buddhism revolves around the concept of no-self, 'good' and 'bad' are subjective conceptual ideas which do not actually exist.

Everyone does. I can't tell from just text on the internet, not without looking into your eyes. But I suspect it's something else. I'm convinced it's not just sex, and that you need someone who will get you out of your self-defeating cycle. Again, I'm no therapist, so take everything I say with a grain of salt or don't take it at all.

That can lead to an toxic relationship. Find a girl that smiles to whatever you do. I found some but got problems to express my love to them. Everytime I remember those times I get the dumbest smile on my face. They are extremely rare, but they are in the world. She might not love you, but you could feel loved, and that's what user here is looking for. Just be patient, that's the point. She'll come one day as a schoolmate, roommate, neighbor or even a teacher. In the meantime just watch anime.

Again, that's the opposite of what I'm looking for. It needs to be real passion, all the time, with all the good and bad things that come with it.

I just found out that I'm about to fail my course

You are from Germany, right? Let’s meet up and get drunk.

I'm close to Germany, only a few hours from it. That dark German beer sounds great. I think you already have my contact but I'll type it anyway.

>I think you already have my contact
No, where from but that previous post? What border are you close to? I live in Bavaria, are you actually interested?

We're all filling our meaningless existences with whatever distractions we can muster. Video games, anime, Sup Forums, it's all the same thing in the end. None of us are meant to accomplish anything "meaningful"; to live is to suffer and endure.

I'm gonna get banned for this but what the fuck.

>Find a girl that smiles to whatever you do.
My friend, who is kind of my spiritual guide and medicine man, has been in this exact spot for years. It's the biggest form of un-love. He suffers from frequent suicidal episodes because of that relationship and basically has to struggle to live through the month. He also cheated on her a million times, always with the biggest tsundere he could put his tiny hands on.

Speak for yourself, you failure.

I'm from Zagreb. And yeah, I'm actually interested, why wouldn't I be?

>700km just to talk to some depressed user
I would feel bad for inviting you.

Seven hours of driving is my normal day. Meet me half way.

In Austria? It sounds kinda crazy but I’m tempted. How old are you and can you speak German? I’m not going to get raped am I?

I'm 32 and I can speak a little bit of German. And of course you're not going to get raped, what are you thinking?

It’s a weird offer from some stranger, I’m not interesting and I lack the social skills to entertain you.

I'd say the opposite. I'd say that, for the past month, I've been living to meet that stranger.

Alright, screw it. When you wanna meet up? Obviously only on a weekend.

We can meet up in Graz on the bus station on saturday and figure out what to do from there.

I think about that a lot. I wonder how many people I've told to kill themselves have actually done it.

Hopefully all of them because I only tell it to people who deserve it.

Dont think about it and get back to you cartoon porn

I love your tsun.

Do it, guys.

LIVE FOR NO ONE ELSE BUT

Anime annoys the shit out of me with the cheap shortcuts taken in the animation itself. If a character is speaking and his/her teeth move apart, the jawline should move with it. That lack of attention to detail has made it clear to me that people that like anime are wankers, not artistic purists. I would rather watch old Warner Bros cartoons. Anime is shit.

At least it looks better than western animation. I would kill to get a Rick and Morty animu production.

Eva in particular pays a lot of attention to both anatomy and body language. Another example I can think of is monogatari.

Flamm O’Brien Original Irish Pub Sounds good. Not sure about this Saturday, though. But that’s my inner introvert speaking, I think.

>Rick and Morty

Let's do it this Saturday. Place sounds good. I can be at the main train station in Graz at 13:10. If this sounds exactly like the Eva manga ending, I won't apologize for it.

I also want to take a long walk through downtown and all the tourist-y areas before we sit down, I haven't been in Graz since childhood.

Yeah and it's still the only good piece of Sup Forums work that westerners have produced in the past century.

Westerners enjoy: Capeshit, Capeshit, More Capeshit and Disneyshit

As far as capeshit is concerned, my friends got me to see the new Spiderman and I only saw it as a movie about a teen trying to impress and prove himself to his father figure.

Still concerned that my English might suck too much for that conversation. You’re coming by train? Not car?

There is also far too much status quo, I feel, going on in Sup Forums works. Perhaps this is because not enough people tune in or it's considered a lesser art form. Usually in anime it will build towards some kind of conclusion and season lengths are very short and often more concise - with a lot of anime being produced and a lot of different stories as opposed to a few key characters being produced over and over again.

Aww, Graz is 560km from me.

I'm coming by flixbus. Do we have a deal and when will you be there?

You english is great, by the way. And I won't mind if you have an accent. On the contrary.

>to live is to suffer and endure
If there's no meaning in the existence, there's no meaningful things to lose, and thus no suffering. Life is ambivalent; you may as well try to enjoy it, if only in the form of shitposting on Sup Forums.

When everything is reset and put back to zero every now and then, there's no good way to build relationships and histories.

The 560km are a bit off turning. What excatcly are we going to talk about? How miserable everything is?

Exactly. We can do Munchen of Graz is too far for you. I'm sure we'll find a lot of things to talk about.

Munchen of Graz?

It's not good.
And there are some good western cartoons. Just not many, as cartoons are generally children's shows in the west, while being more general in Japan.

if, obviously
The if's are always a problem.

Munich is a joke from here. 150km, been there last week because of work.

We can do Munchen, or we can do Graz. I'll have to know in advance so I can book a ticket.

I’d prefer Munich but that kinda sucks for you. I can pay for the drinks and food, I guess.

I can be on the bus station in Munich at 15:45. I also need to get to work in 5 minutes, contact me over the mail so we can seal the deal. I'll be back here in the evening around 10.

The reason I pose that question is because, much like one of the big responses at the start, Sup Forums normalizes this behaviour and board specific habits which are destructive but accepted here. Even if you don’t personally subscribe to whatever greentext shitpost you might be reading, it will eventually influence you and you may adopt it. You might be asking, so what’s wrong with that you fucking normalfag? You don’t belong here and so on. It matters because once you’ve taken comfort in this place for years and years without making any progress and suddenly you start to feel out of place with the constant influx of newer users and most older users eventually abandoning it earlier than you have, when you need to make something of yourself because NEETbux, your parents or otherwise can’t support you, then it matters. You can’t expect this site to be a replacement for actual support because when push comes to shove, these transient relationships you develop here are meaningless.

Who else is going to be scanning the Munich local news next week, looking for evidence of a murder, rape, or sudden marriage?

I wish them luck but given the distance, I’d say this is likely going to be a strained relationship should it go well. Long distance, even that of a few hours, never goes well.

Do you have some kind of academic advisor? I know its a huge fucking pain in the ass/challenge but try and talk to them if you do. There's always options other than just taking a 0 to your gpa

Yeah like taking a 9mm to his skull

The in real people the jaw moves very little while we talk, only a few millimeters up and down and in an stylized medium that movement is negligible. In fact if you check famous western animators they look up to Japanese animation. You just think anime is shit because you want to be a snowflake hipster.

Japanese animation? Opinions? Any?

Bruce Timm: What about it?

Influences. No, not necessarily influences, but one of the questions I get asked a lot from animation fans is, does Japanese animation have any impact whatsoever on the North American TV and movie industry? Impact can mean anything.

BT: A lot of guys in our crew and some of the directors that worked on the first series of Batman that we did way back when--very, very heavily influenced by Japanese animation. It's probably not as much of a direct influence on what we do. It’s not like when we sit down to do a Batman episode we say, let's sit down and watch a whole bunch of Japanese cartoons and figure out what they did and try to do it. We have done that, we actually do that a lot for the effects, they're geniuses with effects, so we've actually sat down and frame-by-frame, tried to figure out how they do some effect.

For the most part, Japanese animation is--that's a big thing, Japanese animation, there's so many different kinds of Japanese animation. There's stuff that's practically fully animated like Akira, and there's stuff that's more simplified and stylized like Ghost in the Shell, where they make real creative use of limited animation.

Some other animators words

Pixar head John Lasseter spoke about wooing his wife by showing her scenes from Miyazaki's debut feature, "Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro," the day after he met her. The film "had adventure, heart, action and humor, done with such style and sophistication and a wonderful eye for the details of human behavior," he said. "It was proof positive, as Walt Disney had showed so many years earlier, that animation was for everyone…Every time I watch a Miyazaki film, I learn something about the craft of filmmaking."

"The Japanese do the best action films in animation, so when you're studying animation, you look to the best sources you can for whatever you're trying to be inspired by."
Craig McCracken

"I’ve always been very inspired by Japanese animation."
Ben Bocquelet

What do advisors even do, I never had one

You think there’s a high chance when I’m cautious? I’m not going in any alleys or whatnot. It’s still weird that someone is driving about 600km for a person that he doesn’t know anything about. I could be the least interesting person to talk to for all he knows. So the distance makes it truly weird. He might not show up but being stranded in Munich might not be too bad with all the bars.

So... you going to pull that trigger buddy? You will be doing all of us a favor.

I think you're being too paranoid though. Obviously you can't exclude the possibility that he's a scam, but to be honest going out to meet someone seems like a fun way to spend a weekend. Better than doing nothing.

BUT NOW THROUGH ALL THE HURT AND PAIN

Who else here is a stay-at-home security guard?

Why are Sup Forums blogthreads so comfy?

ANNO
ANNO HAD LET YOU DOWN

It's a good pub. Good beer

Because despite the fact that most posters in these threads are blogging, their life situations and desire to be dead shows that they’re spending their lives as uselessly as possible and most likely non Sup Forums or Sup Forums for extended periods of time. You don’t feel as disgusted by them than by, say, someone blogging about their friends or going out to have fun.

That sounds logical.

>I can be on the bus station in Munich at 15:45.
I wonder how many anons from Munich try to be there this Saturday.

There aren’t that many Germans on Sup Forums.

>all this blogposting
May as well jump on the bandwagon. The problem with me is that I like Sup Forums because I can talk to others in a generally good way who like anime and don't have to bother looking for anyone else to talk to about said passion. I'm very isolated/ shy from other people my age that I chose to do online college classes so my parents don't bother me saying "interact with students/make new friends!" My weakness is that when it comes to making friends I put them on a very high pedestal, they don't like something I like and they're not a candidate for my liking

>My weakness is that when it comes to making friends I put them on a very high pedestal
I always thought that too but I took some late night walks and always thought about random shit and one day something crossed my mind that I couldn't shit talk no matter how hard I tried. I actually think a lot better of myself now and have the attitude that kinda everyone sucks compared to me except a few people that I can truly respect.

Try some late night walks too, they are comfy as fuck.

I probably should've reworded it to "in picky about making friends" but thank you for the advice

>blogposters
Jesus Christ, why are you people such crybabies?
>m-muh feels
>tfw no gf
>m-muh life is meaningless
>m-muh suicide
>m-muh shallow existence
You’re all a bunch of Karen Horney textbook cases. I don’t have a girlfriend, I have one guy I could call a friend, I don’t speak to other people, I don’t like them, I’m a virgin well past twenty and yet I don’t give a single shit. Happiness is such a shallow concept, it’s useless. Stop being little bitches and do something about yourselves if you’re not satisfied. Join a revolutionary group or something. Suicide is as useless, if you’re ready to die you might as well do something since you have nothing to lose. I hate this generation.

>I have never dealt with actual depression, so the concept of and state of it is a joke because I say so.
>MUH GENERATION

>implying
Jokes on you, faggot crybaby, I’ve been depressed since 19. I know pretty well what it is, but I still couldn’t care less about it. Depression is terrible, yet by consciously admitting it I tried to ignore it and succeeded relatively. I still can’t feel joy or happiness, but I don’t care.
