>NOOO YOU CAN'T BE EXCITED FOR THINGS
>YOU NEED TO BE MISERABLE ALL THE TIME LIKE ME
Excited over a virtual prize with no real value?
You should be excited about things that have meaning in your life, achieving goals, meeting landmarks in your life, not the next thing you can consoom
Dude, I like video games too, but behaving like that, and defending it, makes you a colossal fricking homosexual who we can only assume has no meaningful gains in any other aspect of life if you get this excited over digital content you don't actually own.
>t. establishment internet defense force
I love the dance that he does. This guy is based
This is the exact type of person the corporations want you to be. Think about that for a second
The dude has nice moves. That cannot be denied.
No matter how bad things get, I rest easy knowing I'll never be like this pathetic creature
the most rebellious western man
Reminder that this guy is only in his mid 20's and looks like THAT
hes 20.
Holy shit if that’s true I feel a lot better about myself
This is a forty year old man.
This is why the world is doomed. Buckle up, we are in for a hell of a ride.
And it aint gonna be pleasant.
Point of no return is the day you start posting on IST
in what regards are you using point of no return?
Like ego death, undergoing an acute or longterm process that changes you irreversibly for the worse. Personal example, physically I am IST, but being fit does not undo the years of vidya and porn addiction at ages 10-25. In fact, I often think of how easier my life was before I quit those things and developed a social circle. I miss online gaming and the careless person I used to be, even when exposed to things that should make one happy or enjoy life more. I guess I identify more with the top two pics than to anyone immediately around me in my normie life.
Also, I think a lot of us find the thread pics funny or interesting because deep down we can relate to them in a way that many cannot.
27 club, duu...
I'm turning 28 in a month and I'm getting yo jaded to chase my dreams..
I finished college last year and landed my dream job but that doesn't take away from the fact that my dog is dead and my grandparents are dying. I have been in mental pain for so long cuz I spend all my time worrying about existential shit and family death and I'm getting to the point were I kind of just want my grandparents to die cuz I'm tried of trying to convince then living through the pain of being in ur 80s is worth it..
I feel like I have officially lost my youth. Like I said I have my dream job and I'm the position to do great things but I'm just headed and want to start a family with a girl so I can live vicariously through my kids..
I'll try to teach them how to use their time in their youths before family and pet deaths destroy them to accomplish shit BEFORE bad shit happens unlike me who got everything he wanted after his dog died and now my life is an empty shell
>just get over it everyone goes through this
No they don't, they don't go through it, they ignore it. Grandma dies? Oh well back to pursuing attention from others... frick yall, escpeically if there is a soul yall r heading towards domination and reincarnation in a shit world cuz u refuse to deal with the bad parts...
>throwing away your entire youth because a fricking animal died
jesus christ what is wrong with modern "men"?
your ancestors went out and killed wolves every day
Okay yoy don't belive in a soul, we get it... I'm kind of jealous but alas I contemplate life instead of numbing myself out so the idea is that ur the one that's gon a suffer. Escpaically if ur a christ cuck and think animals don't have souls..
But no, fricking tell me how my best friend of 18 years, there for my most intimate moment in the morning and night every day since I was 10 passing away while living in a society were all the attractive women dont want to and arent even fit to be mothers(to make up for the dwarf and destruction existing in the pstcial world bring) let alone wives let alone even companions isn't supposed to affect me..
And who said I threw away my life? I got my dream job and working out like crazy. I'm not gonna enjoy it. I'm too high iq to enjoy this delusional trogeltide shit, stop ignoring death and reality. Stop basing ur life around acceptance of shoots u trog
You're not high IQ bro, you're a moron who anthropomorphizes dumb animals and who can't come to terms with death being an inevitable part of life.
Mourning the dead is pointless, it's too late.
The only mourning that is productive is accepting that everyone and everything is going to die and mourning them by appreciating them whilst they are still alive.
>“You see this goblet?” asks Achaan Chaa, “For me this glass is already broken. I enjoy it; I drink out of it. It holds my water admirably, sometimes even reflecting the sun in beautiful patterns. If I should tap it, it has a lovely ring to it. But when I put this glass on the shelf and the wind knocks it over or my elbow brushes it off the table and it falls to the ground and shatters, I say, ‘Of course.’ When I understand that the glass is already broken, every moment with it is precious.”
Lmao huge incel vibes
If you truly believed in a soul you'd realize physical death is an illusion, and you wouldn't be upset when someone dies. The only part that suffers when a loved one dies is the ego
>Wah s/he died and now they won't be around to pay attention to ME
Get out of here, spewing your ego fricking bullshit everywhere you psychology child
Just because you don't see someone suffering, doesn't mean that they are ignoring things like loved ones dying. Some men HAVE to be strong. Some of us don't have the luxury to wallow in sorrow and allow our lives to crumble around us.
The thing you described are extremely normal experiences. Almost everyone goes through what you're going through at some point. The ones who haven't yet, will, unless they die first. These are the experiences that will teach you the most out of life. It seems so terrible now, but it will make you stronger.
Take the buddhapill anon, the only constant in this world of samsara is death and suffering, all that has come into being must pass again into nonbeing, looking for happiness among the temporary things of this world is futile, seek the self within and you will be delivered from attachment and suffering
>NOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST PROCESS THINGS AND LEARN TO OVERCOME YOU HAVE TO BE SAD FOREVER
>MY HECKING DOGGO DIED YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
what a homosexual
You're a good guy, anon. As you said yourself, you have to deal with the bad parts otherwise you'll be sent back. I recommend a psilocybin trip of at least 3 grams after doing a year of research on the topic. It sounds like you are in need of an ego death.
This is why your kids’ first pet should be something like a goldfish or a hamster that does in a year or so. Otherwise you end up unfamiliar with death and how it gives life it’s vitality, and you end up like this whiny b***h who thinks life is over at 28.
I think there is a physical inflection point. There are people who are so fat that there is no hope for them. Although, I suppose surgery can fix it. But the dude in your image probably just needs to stop drinking or at least get it under control. If he stops drinking, starts lifting and eating well, shaves, and cuts his hair, after 3 months he'd be better off than most guys his age. I was just like him at one point. I was addicted to crack and heroin at one point too. I guess things like schizophrenia and bipolar can probably permanently keep you in a rut, but those edge cases and probably not what you're asking about.
>But the dude in your image probably just needs to stop drinking
You bet he's never drinking again. He's dead
He's sleeping moronx24sm
You can't even write the captcha in the right place and I'm the moron? KEK
Nice! I fricked up the captcha and wrote it in my post, but I totally noticed it. All of us have done that. I left it there though because I wanted to see if anyone noticed. You noticed! Yay!
There is, but you would need to be physically or psychologically impaired. Even then you need to be extremely impaired to not be able to make a better person of yourself. I'm talking like paralyzed from the waist down kind of thing or functionally moronic. In the case of physical limitations you are hard pressed to find yourself fully incapable and "too far gone" due to the wide availability of physical therapy for people who are disabled.
For the vast majority of individuals who are not paralyzed, missing a limb, have some severely impeding physical condition or are too mentally handicapped to actually do anything on their own without colossal efforts, the, "too far gone" mindset is the acceptance phase of their own self perception and biases. They treat themselves like shit for years and eventually fall into a mental prison to justify their own behavior to themselves.
There is no "too far gone" for the vast majority of people. It's simply a cope to avoid being responsible for themselves.
The point where you believe that there is no point of return is a self fulfilling prophecy bud.
My room looks like that, but it's out of my control for another 2 weeks until I can get a cast and boot. I'm fricking pissed about it too.
The point of no return is death. In life, you can always improve yourself and be happier.
So many people on IST just want to be told it's hopeless so they don't have to try. It's never hopeless, sorry.
If I had to try and identify my point of no return, it was getting an iphone. With that, I had constant internet access. I then got into hook up apps and Craigslist. I’ve now fricked over a thousand men women and trannies. All I think about is sex, fricking is my only hobby, everything I do is just passing time until I frick next. I prefer females but spice things up with men and trannies to help break the monotony and it helps me appreciate the female body a lot more. I often go for weeks straight where I have multiple new hookups a day. I’m so dead and numb inside I just don’t even feel like doing this anymore but I keep up the hunt. I think that’s really what it is, the sport, I don’t know, but I don’t think I’ll be stopping. I’m fairly attractive and can always get sex. I’ve never used a condom. I’ve gotten many women pregnant. It’s impossible for me to be faithful and I’ve driven away many fine women because I’m a piece of shit cowboy.
No, HOWEVER
>mental inflection point
the older you get the harder it gets mentally because your habits, behaviors all that get stronger with repetition. 20 year habits are harder to break than 5 year habits. However you have to also consider how much of your life was spent doing it, to a 20 year old a 5 year habit is harder to break to him than a 50 year old breaking a 5 year habit.
Your body hits a bit of a wall at 50 but you can still get in shape. Your body REALLY hits a wall at like late 60s early 70s and that's when you start to see people become seniors. But often if you keep up your health and fitness you can survive still moderately hot into your 70s and we see this through celebrities progressively keeping their looks into old age. Here's Michael Keaton in a recent interview he did...he's 70. This is the great thing about mental/physical fitness and a good diet, the door is always open for you it's just about when you want to start. You can't undo 50 years of shit health but your quality of life for the next 20 to 30 can be substantially impacted by whether or not you continue on that same unhealthy route.
I’d say around 22. Really. The whole wizard joke of 30 and all is funny but reality is if you haven’t made it by 22 it is over. Yes that “soon”.
I would cry so much if this was my offspring
