>Because normie platitudes don't work for people that don't come with the normie chip pre-installed

As he says, people that had happy normal childhoods and normal relationships with people and learned how to deal with them are incompatible with people that had neither of those things. They can't understand how these "patients" deal with stuff and why they take life like they do.

When you're forced to abandon NEETdom, why don't you guys become therapists so you can help people like yourselves?

>>22172
How am I supposed to help anyone when I can't help myself?

>>22171
Since you quoted me... What I meant was slightly different. There is a variation between people that goes beyond experiences and learning, something we are born with or without, which is what I refered to as "chip". That's why there are introverts and extroverts, people who are naturally reclusive and people who need others' attention all they long. I had a relatively normal childhood and I've been able to survive in a few relationships, yet my "wiring" never changed... Always remained a hermit of sorts, getting anxious over social situations, getting stressed when approached by people I don't trust and so on.

My reply was more meant to emphasize that psychologists and therapists tend to make the mistake of giving advice from the viewpoint of a normally wired person, without taking into account the variations in character and personalities that their patients have... resulting in the patients trying methods that will ultimately hurt then, both short-term and in the long run.

Please remember never to underestimate how circumstance affects people. Someone whose childhood and life others might envy, could secretly be ridden with an amount of misery (that when unveiled) others will definitely not want to go through in exchange for that very same stranger's life they wish for.

>>22172
Being able to relate does not equate to being able to professionally help someone with psychological issues. There is a lot of training and knowledge behind therapy. Plus >>22173 is right too.

I can't stop thinking about Lain. It's making me extremely depressed. I don't even wish she were real or that I were in her world. I just wish I could, experience her, for lack of a better word. Sort of like how she became omnipresent herself. It's tough to describe but all I can say definitively is that everything else feels inadequate in comparison.

>and technological substitutes for suicide may become available in the near future.
True, I never thought of that.

I want to die, please kill me.

>>22085
Hi, me too.

>I wish I was still a kid when I didn't have to worry about adult responsibilities and society.
Don't we all, anon...

>>22065
I don't. I despise my younger self.

I usually just buy myself a small gift.

but this year, my gf came here from Japan!

You better believe it. I'm not fortunate enough to get NEETbux like some of the people here, so a 1/8 chance of death for a 7/8 chance of an easy way out of being a wagecuck is more than worth the risk to me. Even 500 grand would be enough to last the rest of my life on if planned frugally.

yeah I'd spin it really lightly counterclockwise so it lands on 50 or 100 m

What's the catch?

>>22060
There isn't one.

That reminds me, /$/ is dead.

Other than scamming none.

>>21976
It's no more dead than half of the other boards on this site.

>>22017
please keep off topic meta posts in the board intended for that purpose

>>18880
Surely whatever you wrote was less humiliating than this.

>>18868
I agree with this so much. Maybe OP just needs to get to the point where they don't need/want friends either?

I only socialize anonymously now or in a setting on the internet where growing a friendship would never happen. Eventually you realize having friends is too much pressure if you already have issues you're working through, you're better off just talking with people casually and not putting that kind of pressure on yourself.

1 year later and I can't help but wonder if op managed to improve his situation.

>>18868
You're a wise man.

Meh, I decided to give it a try as an anonymous speaker, had a shitty experience. I waited for like 10 minutes to get a listener. Someone, probably a rather young girl, cut me off a couple of times without even bothering to check for her possible spelling mistakes.

I suppose I should have picked a listener from the list rather than getting a random one but I won't use this shit again. All I wanted was to speak up my mind but instead I jumped off pissed off...

>Just became a listener after passing a well layered but easy test.
Could any of you describe it?

Honestly, I find these types of sites to be counterproductive. As >>20512 mentioned, people do sign up as listeners for the explicit intent of trolling (or abusing, if you want to call it that) lonely or downtrodden individuals. And even the listeners that are "legitimate" are virtually all insufferable Ford Drivers that will try to veer the conversation towards them and their victimhood somehow.

Joined because I was curious.
>13 questions and a small guide that were basically reading comprehension, multiple choices
>short practice chat with a bot, multiple choices, same shit don't be a dick and follow the previous guidelines
That's it. Fuck it though, im not using it when the training encourages what is in my opinion useless babble
>I have so many problems, my family is falling apart, I have no money and my gf left me
>Sounds like you're stressed
No shit. If I do use it im not doing any of that. Not trying to be edgy but that's how I was treated and absolutely hated it, I can do basic introspection and I assume most others can. It's kind of pointless when they're trying to legally cover their ass as much as possible, can't even advice.

>>21983
I think many of us will need more than words, therapy and even drugs to fix ourselves.

>If you had a second chance at life, what would you have done differently?

Thow my computer out the window in middle school. I somehow became hooked on gaming, then I stopped. Turns out people change in just 3 years. I have hard time making friends because of it.

People usally call me '30s kid.
On the bright side, I usally get along with chinks, for some reason.

>>19577
I drove a tercel of that era (bit later) and that isn't it. i think its a mid-80s celica or maybe a mazda 323 or an accord hatchback.

I've come to the realisation that I would probably be depressed no matter how my life turned out.

>>21935
It's not really a surprise since chinks love their games.

>>21032
>I don't have a proper last name because of that.
How does that work exactly? Aren't you supposed to get the surname of your father? Your parents can't choose a surname for their child or maybe you meant something different.

I was homeschooled.

I'd say it was when I dropped out of high school, but I was failing anyway...

>>21953
That father has to be there for them to confirm its his child, he's likely a bastard

Believing in god is the purest form of escapism, leave it for when you're on your deathbed. Until there, live knowing you'll disappear forever after this ride so you can be one step further to the Ubermensch status.

fuck off back to 4chan, kid
you don't belong here

>>21944
There's no way I can be a nazi, anon, I'm a racemixed brown.

Not being tied to any magical books is one of the few things that allow me not to live in total despair.

>>21944
In this case, Ubermensch sounds like more of a reference to Nietzsche. I think that was the intent given
>Believing in god is the purest form of escapism

Do you have any intentions on rectifying the situation you find yourself in OP?

>>21786
She needs everyone to participate in her sickening debauchery so that she doesn't have to feel guilty about it. She'd rather drags us down into the filth with her.

What's next, op?

It dawns on me at some time every evening that I have wasted yet another day. I don't know what I should do to consider a day not wasted, I don't really want to do anything. But at the same time I know I am wasting my life and feel bad 24/7.
