I like being outside, but I don't like being out and about. The feeling when you have to walk through a big group of normies makes me want to throw myself into the sun.

I walked past a big group of WASP high school girls once and one of them turned to another and whispered "omg that's so cringeworthy". I think they were talking about me.

I go for walks every morning as soon as the sun comes up. Every time someone is walking towards me on the sidewalk I cross over to other side of the street to avoid them. If they're walking in the same direction I'll either let them outpace me or take a detour.

>>30327
Why do people have to do that?

I was driving home a few days ago and I noticed a red truck behind me. I thought nothing of it at first, thinking he just lived in my neighborhood, but as soon as I parked he got out of his car and started yelling at me and asking me if I knew how to drive. I guess I accidentally pulled out in front of him something. Not willing to talk, I just took off and hid for a bit until I was sure he was gone. Now I get worried when I see a red truck behind me on the way home.

>>30332
Most likely because they are insecure themselves and are looking to belittle someone else to make themselves feel better, if only for a short period of time.

Earlier in the year I had a job as a cashier for all of two weeks. How people end up spending most of their lives doing that sort of thing will forever bewilder me.

>>30383
Small talk is a skill you develop. It kills your soul how many people make the same unfunny jokes over and over again though.

>>30341
These types of people seem to run into me pretty frequently. The only real answer is to ignore it. Don't get drawn in to their frustration. People need to stop rushing and living like they need to do everything at once.

I made the horrendous mistake of moving in with my turbo-normal-manhating-cunt-aunt who is trying to force me to be a normalfag, and now I've given my parents "hope" so they won't accept me being a failure ever again. I want to be a NEET again so badly, I hate this woman and I hate this city. I know I'm not expensive to maintain, I eat little and cheaply and my only other expense is water and one laptops worth of electricity. My family spends more on phone bills and clothes than they do on me. Problem is, now that I'm out, I can't go back. And my aunt has made it clear that any attempt to become a NEET again will lead to my being made homeless, where I will inevitably die due to my sickly body and inability to communicate. I fucking hate this so fucking much, I'm tempted to start buying lotto tickets and hoping that I win enough to be a NEET for the next 20-30 years and then kill myself.

>Problem is, now that I'm out, I can't go back.
Why not?
>will lead to my being made homeless, where I will inevitably die
You can always become a hero and rid this world of such an ill-intentioned being, if you know what I mean. No offence meant.
>I'm tempted to start buying lotto tickets
Chances of winning are abyssal, you're more likely to die by the air around you transmuting into gold and sealing you in a shiny metal prison.

>>30559
>>Why not?
They just explained why in their post.
>>You can always become a hero and rid this world of such an ill-intentioned being, if you know what I mean. No offence meant.
If you're telling them to commit suicide that sounds very offensive, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

>>30559
I'm going to make this clear right now, I don't care about the well being of this world. At all. It does not enter into the realm of things whose existence I am invested in. So the likelihood of me killing myself for the good of this world is about the same likelihood that our galaxy is really made of milk. I'm only ill-intentioned from your perspective, from mine, it's the world that's wrong. Any action I take will be in my interest and killing myself to do the world a favor has no benefit for me. I will most likely meet my end at my own hands, but not for yours or anyone elses sake. In fact, if my death has anything to do with my relationship with the world at all, it would most likely involve trying to damage it, and not helping it.

I find it tiring that people continue to propose such a ridiculous idea as killing myself for that which I have no love for.

Consciousness is nature's nightmare.

>>30560
>They just explained why in their post.
But they didn't, they just said they couldn't go back.
>>30561
Since both you and the poster above you got the impression I encouraged suicide, what I meant is that you should kill your aunt for potentially leading you to become homeless and siince you yourself described her as a " turbo-normal-manhating-cunt-aunt". In retrospective, I guess "a hero" could have been assumed as a typo of "an hero", but even then (imho) why would I call you an ill-intentioned being for "being made homeless, where I will inevitably die". Feel free to explain, because I don't really get it.

>>30564
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I've become so used to people telling me to kill myself to make the world a better place, that I assumed by "ill-intentioned", you meant I was a detriment to society with my anti-social behavior and thus would serve it better dead. I would very much like to kill my aunt, I won;t go into too much detail but she makes every moment of my existence that she can unpleasant. Imagine waking up in the morning knowing that you were immediately going to be criticized for your way of starting the day and that the rest of the day would be spent being nit-picked for absolutely every possible thing you could be. She's been remarried and divorced 3 times, that alone should tell you much of what you need to know about her.

>>30565
On the bright side a shit job followed by moving out is a step up from living with a bitch like that.

>>30566
As if, I got fired from my single informal job after 4 days because I was too weak and too forgetful to do the work. Every job is an impossible job when you're weak and retarded.

Stop that. Don't be a kin-slayer. It won't make anything any better for you. If you want to degen the rest of your life away doing nothing, whatever, that's one thing, but kin-slaying is infinitely, objectively worse than any amount of any other degeneracy imaginable.
Get some fresh air, drink some tea, and stop giving the edgy voices in your subconscious so much control over you.

>>30564
>And my aunt has made it clear that any attempt to become a NEET again will lead to my being made homeless, where I will inevitably die due to my sickly body and inability to communicate.
That doesn't sound to you like a good reason explaining why they can't go back? Anon will be kicked out if they go back, they explained it.

>>30569
I am the edgy voices in my subconscious and I don't really care if I'm degenerate. Why the fuck do you think I care about morality or whatever? I'm genuinely confused. I only make my decisions based on whether I like the outcomes or not. I'll kill someone I hate, no problem. My morality is self-centric, and revolves around what I do and do not like, not what someone else of a higher power does or does not like.

I know I'm a shitty person and get shitty rewards for it. Don't hate the player, hate the game I was given no choice but to play.

So my Aunt prides herself for being a supposedly cheap eater. Over these 3 months, I have built up a dynamic with her of joking about my bad food expenditures. Not that I agreed with her, but merely allowed her to continue saying these things. Recently I acquired a debit card and a couple hundred dollars from work I was fired from shortly after beginning, so she decides it's time for oh so expensive me to buy my own food and see the REAL cost. We go to the store, buy food carefully checking caloric and nutritional content per dollar. At the register, we ring up both our orders as she smiles smugly, assured that hers is less. Then came the good part. She spent 59 dollars, on a days worth of car snacks. My food was 54 dollars for one month. The entire way back, she ranted and stuttered about how I must have bought the wrong kinds of food and how I must have made a mistake. Felt pretty good.

I'm probably going to put the rest of my money into a body pillow, I've been meaning to get one.

>>30581
How the hell do you spend $59 on snacks, not to mention for a single day?

>>30582
Well, if you buy 10 snacks or so and they're each around 6-7 dollars, it adds up. She eats healthy vegan organic hippie snacks, so that's how.

>>30569
It was a tongue-in-cheek remark, obviously it would be dumb to kill the person you live with since you'd get caught immediately and then thrown to rot in jail, which is beyond boring, and then he'd have nowhere to go when released.
>kin-slaying is infinitely, objectively worse than any amount of any other degeneracy imaginable
Objectively based on what? How would murdering an evil aunt be even remotely "infinitely" worse than things like sexually abusing a child?
>>30570
Just because you're inferring something doesn't mean that it was written. Anon did not specify in any way why he can't go back to his home. So no, they -didn't- explain it.
>>30581
What cover (for the pillow) are you planning to get?

>>30584
Asuka. I really, really didn't like her on the first viewing of NGE, but when watching EoE I realized that I empathized with her a lot. I guess I developed a feeling of connection to her that I felt with no other character, not even Shinji.

>>30589
It is said that people you hate generally have traits that you yourself have and subconsciously dislike/deny, thereby hating them is a defence-mechanism to protect your ego.

As I was walking down the street, I passed a group of people, one of whom asked me if I "smoke weed fam". Being talked to by a stranger is bad enough already! I said "n-no thanks" and continued on. This is sadly quite a common occurrence where I live. I hope this post isn't against the rules, sorry if it is.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defence_mechanisms


Level 1: "Psychotic"
'When predominant, the mechanisms on this level are almost always severely pathological. These six defences, in conjunction, permit one effectively to rearrange external experiences to eliminate the need to cope with reality. Pathological users of these mechanisms frequently appear irrational or insane to others. These are the "psychotic" defences, common in overt psychosis. However, they are normally found in dreams and throughout childhood as well.[22]'

'Delusional projection: Delusions about external reality, usually of a persecutory nature.'

'Denial: Refusal to accept external reality because it is too threatening; arguing against an anxiety-provoking stimulus by stating it doesn't exist; resolution of emotional conflict and reduction of anxiety by refusing to perceive or consciously acknowledge the more unpleasant aspects of external reality.'


'Level 2: Immature'
'These mechanisms are often present in adults. These mechanisms lessen distress and anxiety produced by threatening people or by an uncomfortable reality. Excessive use of such defences is seen as socially undesirable, in that they are immature, difficult to deal with and seriously out of touch with reality. These are the so-called "immature" defences and overuse almost always leads to serious problems in a person's ability to cope effectively. These defences are often seen in major depression and personality disorders.[22]'

'Acting out: Direct expression of an unconscious wish or impulse in action, without conscious awareness of the emotion that drives the expressive behavior.'

'Passive-aggressive behavior: Indirect expression of hostility'

'Projection: A primitive form of paranoia. Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the undesirable impulses or desires without becoming consciously aware of them; attributing one's own unacknowledged, unacceptable, or unwanted thoughts and emotions to another; includes severe prejudice and jealousy, hypervigilance to external danger, and "injustice collecting", all with the aim of shifting one's unacceptable thoughts, feelings and impulses onto someone else, such that those same thoughts, feelings, beliefs and motivations are perceived as being possessed by the other.'

>>30594
'There is also another vanity, which is done upon the earth. There are just men to whom evils happen, as though they had done the works of the wicked: and there are wicked men, who are as secure, as though they had the deeds of the just: but this also I judge most vain.'

First and only warning: Refrain in the future from (1) using reaction images for its unintended purpose, specially your particular case known as "smugposting", and (2) double posting, i.e. replying to another entry twice consecutively.

>>30600
It would have been a big, hot mess if I combined those two posts together.
And the picture isn't smug at all.

But I understand.

>>30600
>using reaction images for its unintended purpose, specially your particular case known as "smugposting"
Not trying to start shit but isn't smugposting a legit use of reaction images, if the smug anime girl conveys your reaction?

>>30601
>It would have been a big, hot mess if I combined those two posts together.
That is exclusively your problem, and certainly not an excuse.
>And the picture isn't smug at all.
I don't mind giving you the benefit of the doubt: How would you describe it? Ideally with a single adjective.
>>30602
>Not trying to start shit
Mentioning this makes me think you're trying a bit, because I wouldn't have thought that otherwise.
>isn't smugposting a legit use of reaction images
The purpose of reaction images is to portray a state that can't be implied nor inferred through written text alone, or when it doesn't convey the sentiment with enough strength (e.g. disappointment; celebration; entertainment; appreciation, like pic related; etc.), or when it helps bring a point cross for non-native speakers of a language. Smugposting, on the other hand, has a very specific purpose, which is to mock and/or taunt the post that is being replied to, which falls under "shitposting".
>if the smug anime girl conveys your reaction?
Regardless of your acceptance of the above, Why would you want to convey to other people that you feel smug (i.e. self-centred and vain)? As far as I know, it's regarded as discourteous in the majority of the world, no matter your culture nor socio-economic class. Within that context, then you would just be acting wilfully obnoxious.

Also, and perhaps unrelated: Reminder it's easy for moderators and admins to know when someone is using VPNs and multi-posting. I won't elaborate further.

MOE

Someone can't take the banter

>>30603
I think the correct course of action would have been to, instead, give him a 1 sec ban to act as a warning or whatever and not publically argue with him about moderation issues. That's just me though.

>>30603
>it's regarded as discourteous in the majority of the world
I'm not so sure your pompous behavior is any better.

Because I really don't care if you ban me, I'm not swayed by your threats of N█zi moderation- so, what exactly is the point of your posts? It doesn't seem to be de-escalation of conflict or any legitimate concern for post quality, as you're posting text with anime girls yourself ; who exactly determines whether or not an image is "smug"? That's a subjective, arbitrary line and you know it. Your warnings read more as simple status flexing, and since you immediately afterwards started a fight with the poster you warned, I'm led to believe that you simply had a problem with their post and found a justification for it.

Clean yourself up or at least try to limit your power tripping to IRC and snarky ban messages (the anon above has the right idea). TC is already enough of a ghost town.

>>30603
>That is exclusively your problem, and certainly not an excuse
Is the problem two posts or is it because it could be confused as two people? I could tripfag, if it's the latter.

>How would you describe it?
Tired and disappointed.
A 'not this shit again' face.

i'm not trying to say that fat can't be moe, what i'm trying get across is that rikka is a fat pice of garbage with no appealing qualities whatsoever

>>30614
If you think she's fat, you should spend some time in the US. Then you'll know what fat truly is.

>>30614

what are you on? She's pretty much average size for anime

There's fat, and then there's OBESE.

Here's the other, just for you.

>>30603
>Mentioning this makes me think you're trying a bit, because I wouldn't have thought that otherwise.
Exactly what I didn't want to convey. I had the impression that your posts are a bit emotional that's why I felt the need to soften my post with that explanation. I regret having made that decision.

>Regardless of your acceptance of the above,
I agree with everything you said.

>Why would you want to convey to other people that you feel smug (i.e. self-centred and vain)?
I always interpret posting smug anime girls as playful/non-serious (since most instances of the scenes where the screenshots come from are exactly that, just comedy) and not really as someone really thinking they are something better (I mean considering that one is attaching chinese cartoons to his posts which isn't considered as something good or anything related to high status in general, I also refuse to accept that there are really people here who (need to) think that they are better than other posters). In my opinion it's more a look that shows that one's proud of oneself or their actions while being in need for reassurance from the opponent (which is cute) with that look I automatically associate the scenes so often used in anime where the action the character is proud of is immediately downplayed for comedic effect leading to the character being disappointed.
I know this impression is pretty specific and most probably don't share it but I just felt the need to defend smug animus because rather than feeling mocked or taunted I feel like smiling.

Also again for clarification, I don't interpret the image that anon posted as smug.
