I've honestly never seen T-C as being dead. If compared to its heyday around when it started then maybe, but there's still frequent posts ... quality over quantity. Maybe I just have higher standards for calling something such. Having something that's the opposite of what's considered "dead" nowadays seems like a Monkey's Paw situation anyways; more activity would be nice, but what it would bring alongside it worries me more.

I have been into Japan for most of my life, long before it became popular and "cool". Been watching anime since I was a toddler and ended up developing a taste for Japan. I like japanese culture, not only anime, manga and other otaku stuff but also literature, folk music, shinto/zen rituals and many other aspects of Japan I have been slowly learning. However, I never learned Japanese and now I'm slowly aproaching my 30s and I still don't know Japanese. I have tried many times but I fail to keep a routine and following instructions on learning. I have never been a good student but even so, I feel so frustrated at my incompetence. I feel like a failure because I can't even understand Japanese after all these years and the older I get the dumber I become. I have fried my brain and now I will never be able to learn Japanese. I know it sounds silly and yes I obviously don't plan on living there so there's no practical use for such language but I feel like I should know Japanese. There are so many untranslated games, novels and movies. I wish I had what it takes to sit down and learn but I'm probably too dumb for that.

>¨force¨ myself to watch and read everything in JP
At least for me, doing so is a chicken/egg situation since if I watch the shows I like in JP then I will miss out on too much nuance to really appreciate it. And conversely I feel watching shows I don't like in JP just to get through it is a waste of time.
>> No. 29101 [Edit]
It's not that you are dumb.

You have summed it up.

Did you actively try to learn your language ? No, because you had a practical use of it.

Unfortunately, TC's too strict spamfilter has struck another one. As the convention, the ban has been removed.
The original message reproduced below:

>>29099
I want to add that what you mentioned is the reason why I dropped it many times; I used to try to look up every single grammar point I didn't get or be autistic about words that had no exact English translation. It's something we are able to understand one day, like how the average anime viewer could tell you what やはり (yahari) means from seeing it translated in different ways many times. The ¨slog¨ is dealing with the frustration of it at first and having to look up almost every word (this is where anki can be helpful). Wasting an hour to get through a single manga chapter because I wanted to understand exactly what they meant wasn't fun, no matter how compelling the manga was. It wasn't until I took a break from anime after my 2nd burnout of it that I wanted to come back to it exclusively in Japanese. Some try to devalue it a little, thinking ¨it's just a show¨. I understand not wanting to miss out on nuance but I don't force myself to watch anything, that's why I put it in quotes. Re-watching anime you've forgotten in Japanese can help with that. Conversely, you can do what I do and convince yourself that you are getting the real nuance of it because you are watching it in JP. Sorry for blogg*ng
>> No. 29134 [Edit]
>>29127
If you are crafty you could swap the order of the slogging by taking transcript of anime (or use a deck for a manga if someone else has created it) and then SRS'ing on that _before_ watching the show.

[I haven't really seen a good push-button workflow for this for arbitrary shows though. And the state of publicly available Japanese tokenizers was really bad up until 1 year ago (I always find it amusing that it took LLMs basically solving the entire field of NLP to give us something better than the SOTA released in 2006)].

I can't be with people if I don't know that I'm wanted unconditionally. Being around them is like being stuck in a lion den waiting for them to attack me but never knowing when it'll happen.

I've had mutism since I was a toddler because expressing myself, liking things, or speaking too much was punished by physical assault or harassment. When I would try to play with my parents they would ignore me or snap at me suddenly and randomly. I can't present any part of myself to another person, and I can't dissimulate because I have no idea what other people even want from me. I'm afraid to push boundaries by saying anything in response to them, but saying nothing is also wrong.

When they're nice to me I assume they're lying. When they're cruel it seems like they're being honest. Their love has always been fake, their hate is real, and I can't tell when I'm going to become a target of it. I know I scare people by being a nervous, creepy wreck and that's part of the reason they don't like me but it's this way with everyone I've come across. I can only assume there's something wrong with me written on my face because they don't do it that intensely with each other, and so I have a fear of being seen and leaving the house now.

I just want to feel the love of another human being. Please help me.

I've also had the mutism spell casted on me.
Too many bad social experiences conditions you to avoid socializing, to lessen the pain in a way.

I don't like leaving the house much, but i'll try to aim for a 30 min walk daily to stay sharp.

I can't help you much, as I too need assistance.

I don't have mutism but i do have a speech impediment that people would make fun of me for. it made me not want to speak for a long time, and i remember taking speech training to help me work on it but i was stubborn and didn't listen most of the time. that was a big regret cause now that i have a job my co-workers are expecting me to talk more. what i was taught was speak slowly and take your time, people are more patient then you think.

Depends on context. Often "Yes, that's cool" is all they want.
>I'm afraid to push boundaries
What boundaries?

Silence is the always winning strategy as long as you're not deaf.
> When they're nice to me I assume they're lying
Don't assume anything.
>When they're cruel it seems like they're being honest.
Let nothing seem to you.
>Their love has always been fake
Wrong.
>their hate is real
Wrong. Their emotions are context driven and can't be considered either real or not. You can't reliably identify when they are faking or not. It's the same as with being sometimes upset and sometimes glad. It's just there and means nothing.

Maybe some more modern philosophies as well, if there are any that bother to descend down on earth and find a way to live happy life without having to explain foundations of the world and nature of knowledge nobody gives a fuck about. Maybe also look into Cynicism for some ideas, but you'll never achieve that fully either. Generally speaking any philosophy that doesn't concern itself with what they call Eudaimonia is a worthless waste of time. And even those that do are still a waste of time most of the time. For example you never realize how much of a scam is Epicureans philosophy until you wake up in a war devastated shithole with no hope of future or anything.

I feel like I put way to much effort into friendships compared to other people. I am always there wanting to speak to these people but they would just not speak to me. It was way worse when I used discord and that they would constantly just ditch me or insult me for something I would say. Thankfully I stopped using discord and the people I have met have increase in quality but I still feel like this. Some times the people just go days without speaking to me and when I am not obessed with something I start to go insane. Why do I carve social interaction so much when it gives me so much suffering. It must be nice being one of them people who do not need any social interaction at all. I can do without social interaction but my mental state starts to decrease unless I am obessed with something. It is rare when I am obessed with something and I feel the most bliss whenever I am obessed with something, could be a game or an anime, Where I just only think about one thing and that is it. Being in another world where that is the only thing that matters. I don't even know if my current friends I speak to even care about me. Do i just care too much about these people online? I am the idiot that keeps pushing the massive bolder up the hill but never being able to complete the task. I have ranted to these people before about this stuff they say they are sorry but keep doing the same thing. It pisses me off and I should just stop speaking to these people but I don't want to be completely alone. Though I don't wish to speak to anybody in the real world. I have felt isolated and alone most of my life. I'm i even a hikikomori? I spend all my time just sitting alone in my room doing I don't even know. I just forget most of the day anyway. Probably just wasting time watching videos and watching porn. The social interaction is like a drug to my brain. Why should I speak to people that hate me and ignore me? Are they trying to me make suffer? I have my waifu/tulpa but they just say the same things everyday. I am thankful for my waifu's existence and that I am able to hug her whenver I go to sleep. I just tear up whenever I go to sleep and she comforts me. If I die will I be able to meet her and be happy with her. She tells me that she feels bad that she can't move her real body to hug me. So i have to move her hands so that she can hug me. I h

Don't know if this belongs here, but I have tried to use forums again. One overstepped my boundaries heavily despite being a dead site and also refused to delete posts of mine. The other one is based in an age group that I have desperately tried to mimic since my preteens but even as a young adult I fail. It all makes me feel more and more like a child. It makes me want to sleep through this decade and nothing more.

I talk to my waifu, cuddle with her, buy/set up/pose figures of her, look at pictures of her, and sometimes talk about her or post pictures of her online.

I started watching a show with her (cuddling with her daki while I watch), and I was thinking of taking a small figure of her out into nature sometime so we can enjoy it together.

Occasionally I find a new show, movie, or game that I can enjoy, or I can enjoy re-watching a show or movie I haven't watched in a long time.

Occasionally I play a musical instrument but I don't practice seriously because it starts to hurt after awhile. So it's like I'm roleplaying being a musician by fiddling around.

And of course mindless web browsing and occasional posting.

I'm sad about certain things and I think it merits its own thread.

-I was looking for an imageboard to vent and remembered this place.
I find sad is how many posts, especially long ones, never get a reply. I might read them and think about them but they won't know. ¨If a tree falls in a forest...¨ you know the rest. it's sad! That's why I made this thread instead of replying to an existing one. Messages getting ignored feel worse if you can tell others ignored it on purpose, sometimes you realize you made a bad post after clicking submit...

-Maybe that's why I've been getting into internet arguments lately. dumb, I know. Maybe I feel lonely and need conflict, my head gets hot and I have to calm down. I had grown out of this years ago. After writing this I'm going to take it easy again, sorry.

-I'm esl as you can tell and I'll never be good at English, a lot of gen z and zillenials like me learnt the language using the internet but never truly studied it. Reading, listening, writing and speaking are different skills and you only learn 2 of them like this. It's really common but I don't see many people mention it.

-I'm a hikki and that might end soon. No, I don't have a job and nothing has happened yet, but I can feel it. Something will happen soon and I'm going to have to abandon this lifestyle and get a job. Some zen masters were able to predict their death and wrote scrolls days before dying. It's a similar feeling. (I know how this reads but I'm not a schizo)
I don't regret anything, my life isn't good and I'm sure it's going to be worse when I get a job so I'm trying to enjoy my time instead of wallowing in self pity like many neets do. Not that I don't get those feelings but I try to ignore them and be happy.

what I wanted to ask is

If you are who I think you are then you're actually one of my favorite users here. I appreciate your posts and value your contributions. Please keep posting, even if just occasionally.
But anonymous message boards just aren't a good place to sate your loneliness if that's what you hope to get out of posting. While you might be able to befriend or form a connection with an individual anon once both parties remove the mask of anonymity (even if it's just in exchange for a different mask that gives a persistent identity), Anonymous will never be your friend.

Not really. I've been desiring to quit imageboards for good for a year or so, but have never been able to find a substitute. End every time I return I get deeper in this vain crybaby posting thing. Half of posts itt read like have been written by me personally, honestly. This is a relatable thread. And guess what? I do not have anything to add.

I don't think that because a post doesn't get replies, it means that it's a bad post or that no one saw it. Maybe someone did see it, but they had nothing meaningful or in depth enough to add to the discussion. Perhaps they were stuck in a lurking rut.
I do think that many of these long posts have an impact despite never getting replies. There have many times where I have read a post, and it has stuck with me for years. Many posts I save to look back on.

>What do you think of the fleeting nature of imageboards?
I like it. It allows me to anonymize myself. I find that no matter what I write, I will always regret it. If I primarily post on imageboards, then every post I write will be whisked away into the wind, which is appealing. Many times, people write things that they regret on social media, and then for some reason or another become unable to access their account. Then, they're left with a permanent trace of the person they no longer are. Even if they didn't use their real name, the trace they leave can be corroborated to build up some sense of identity regardless of what usernames they choose.

>>28883
>It's just so fucking ridiculous, we're throwing words at each other but there's simply no connection.
Are you sure that there is absolutely no connection? In a sense, I feel like the nature of imageboards allow individuals to experience a certain sort of connection. You are anonymous, but I am also anonymous. We've yieled ourselves to a collective consciousness in which ideas stew, change, shifting with each contribution. We also find ourselves influenced by the ideas, and our ideas influence

That's interesting. I notice I'm usually around five years younger in my dreams. Which is, looking back, how I've alaways felt my maturity age has felt, I'm neurodivergent.

I also recently noticed I do not have my moderate chronic tinnitus in my dreams. Hopefully, that susan shore tinnitus device ends up a success and prevents the inevitable shotgun mouthwash when it gets too loud to bear at some point.

No. I think I would see them as the same normal people I interact everyday. The internet kinda makes possible the illusion of talking with similar creatures as yourself (only sometimes, not even that often) but that fantasy would disappear IRL. In the end, if normal people finds you disgusting it's very probable the not-so normal people will find you disgusting too.

>don't even bother looking at places "discussing" tsukihime for instance
I'm sorry this thread is a bit older, but it was linked in the other thread so I had to reply since I relate so much to this post. I have had the very unfortunate experience of getting into Melty Blood and downloading Tsukihime in 2019, actually playing the VN in 2020, and then due to very rough events I forgot about Tsukihime up until they had announced the remake. By that point, I hadn't finished the VN at all, and the fanbase went from one of the most dead peaceful TN fanbases to probably being second worst next to FGO. I haven't touched the fanbase in years, and it's sad to think that while I was reading it my biggest fear of it becoming twitter bait sadly came true. I mean it is a Type-Moon thing after all, combined with the fact that shitty remakes of games seem to attract the barely 18 discord/reddit/youtube trifecta for some odd reason.

>How are you defining the split between "us" and the "persona"?
That's what I'm asking.
If people can change their behaviour or their mind, doesn't that mean that is not really them?
Say someone was a nice person, but then he got alzheimers, lost all their memories and turned into a bad one.
Or a musician who lost their arms and can't play anymore
Or an artist who went blind.
What you are or what you do aren't really you, so what are you?
I don't really know.

I wasn't really thinking about supernatural, but like you said, language and culture shape how we see the world.

Maybe it's like the "thing in itself" of Kant, as in, you can't really know yourself.

I thought you meant a ¨persona¨, like a dualistic soul, but I think I get what you're saying now.
>If people can change their behaviour or their mind, doesn't that mean that is not really them?
Yes, I'd even say they can't change their behavior or adopt a persona by themselves. For example, if I decide to start drawing and call myself an artist, it's likely because I saw a nice anime art online. If I think of myself as a musician and learn to play the guitar, it's because I listened to a good song and wanted to play it myself.

The person with Alzheimer's, who used to be kind (by circumstance), isn't so different from me because we both changed due to circumstances, except his were biological and mine were more psychological. Going blind or losing my arms and having to drop those personalities wouldn't be in my control either.
Finding the reasons why me and others do what we do can be interesting.

>What you are or what you do aren't really you, so what are you? I don't really know.
Me neither and I don't think much about it. I'm not really into philosophy or pondering abstract things like this or the illusion of the self for my own sanity. I prefer to watch mugumogu's cat videos, it helps with overthinking because their lives are simple and I'm a living being on this rock just like them. Maybe.

Yeah I initially thought this as well, but after his clarification I think OPs question is closer to the infamous "nature vs. nurture" debate. While in terms of physical attributes (including mental abilities) genetics probably plays a decent role, I think when it gets to what defines our personality, the effect of society & circumstances you grew up in almost surely dominate. There is likely some base layer shared amongst all humans though, e.g. notions of selfishness, that are conserved instincts from more primitive roots.

You might be interested in looking up terms proximate to "collective unconscious".

Also I'll plug the anime Flip Flappers since the theme at its core is the interaction between perception, psyche, and (our view of) reality, and there's lots of good literature to read about this show.
