>just get out of your house >talk to people >find something you love >be positive
Is this the biggest cope?
I am what the kids call "neurotypical" - aka normal - no social anxiety, no autism, no panic attacks, no fear of public speaking etc. Even for me most public social situations are nightmarish these days. It didn't use to be this way, either, and I don't think it's just me who changed.
Before ~2010 we had the mostly sane real world, and the internet crazies. Fair enough, you could avoid doomscrolling and that took care of that. Maybe a few awkward situations you could just laugh off. These days wherever I go, whenever I come into contact with anyone else except my closest homies for life, the conversation is swiftly pozzed by talking points from THE MEDIA or social media. Fucking "politics" or "equality" or "the trans queer black viking king in the lasest Netflix original". Can't even talk about sportsball or music or movies without some fucking black lives matter trans athlete pride month Chinese prisoner camps NEWS HEADLINE hijacking the convo.
It's inescapable. At school I saw it, at work I see it, in my free time it's everywhere. Every woman I meet is a "strong feminist" who apparently also needs a therapist and four different prescriptions to get through an average day. Planning to postpone the decision of having kids until she's 45 and has completed two different lesbian dance therapy degrees. And I'm the one who's going crazy?
Yes I admit it's a bitch move to give up on the real world and escape into fantasies of literature or video games or whatever, but has anyone here actually genuinely experienced that "GETTING OUT THERE" has been a positive influence on their life? Because I certainly feel the opposite whenever I try. I'm only reminded of how bad it truly has gotten, and it always shocks me to learn it's even worse than the last time.
>four different prescriptions What kind of prescriptions? Like schizo pills?
Leo Butler
Depression, anxiety, bipo, ADD, whatever these crazy bitches get diagnosed with after reading a Cosmo article.
Tyler Sanders
so you came to ask us weirdos how we deal with it? >>just get out of your house can work a little, if i go out to interesting places like the park or a museum or something in the city, i'm processing all the people around and the cool stuff so i feel alright for the time >>talk to people hit or miss. most people are also becoming weird and anti social since this corona shit. >>find something you love if you are depressed even the things you love dont give joy. >>be positive total meme normies like to push. if you have things to feel good about then you would already feel positive. your post is what i expect many normies are experience now, even i see it, the lockdowns and all this stupid political shit has divided people and made them isolated and more autistic, anxiety, depressed. everyone is starting to become how i'v been my whole life and its weird. i need normies to be more social and happy again, i can't carry everyone else

Covid has literally had next to no impact on my life. I'm not American. I've never worn a mask, I haven't taken a jab, I haven't been asked to do either. I don't read the news, and turns out when you don't read the news the only sign of "the pandemic" is the appearance of hand sanitizer dispensers at supermarkets and public spaces, which... are nice I guess? Don't really care.
>can work a little, if i go out to interesting places like the park or a museum or something in the city, I agree that going somewhere surrounded by nature is inherently uplifting. But I argue the opposite of the city. Just being mind blated by the advertising, hearing snippets of degenerate conversations everywhere, seeing druggies, homeless, immigrants, welfare niggers cluttering the public spaces. 10-year olds with PRIDE insignia, girls of barely breedable age slutting it up, men playing their Nintendo Switches with a 100lbs gut hanging out and a patchy beard covering their doudle chin.
It's just a fucking blackpill to see the state of society. At least at home I can focus on reading ancient philosophers or play some japanese hentai game or whatever and don't have to confront the hell on earth we're living in.
>if you are depressed even the things you love dont give joy. Depression is just a set on symptoms. Symptoms which can be explained in much simpler and direct terms than "imbalance in the brain's neurotransmitter balance".
Maybe, maybe not. I don't really believe in all that shit. I think it's a way to create an artificial false "normal", the mythical person that cannot be diagnosed with anything to push pills for. And of course to have something to put on your Twitter bio in place of a personality.
My point in mentioning it was mostly that a lot of people on here must have it even worse. If you had to experience all this shit AND you were afraid of social situations or bad at them.
Nicholas Green
>But I argue the opposite of the city. i live in a rural area so the city is actually a change of scenery for me or exciting i guess. I don't worry about clown world anymore, things are just so bad its silly so i just find it funny, guess that's why they call it that. Nothing you can really do about it, but human trends in society wont last forever. if you look at history these beliefs are back and forth, i really wouldn't be surprised if suddenly in my life there was a huge push for traditional marriage, families and all the retarded shit was hated again. it cant last forever, i just hope can experience the good times before i am too old to enjoy it
Luis Murphy
>things are just so bad its silly so i just find it funny, guess that's why they call it that. Nothing you can really do about it I thought that too when I was younger. It wasn't as bad yet, but it was clear where we were heading, so I emotionally distanced myself from the state of larger society. Turns out when you start approaching 30 you really do start thinking about procreation like any healthy biological organism is supposed to. Suddenly "just don't take it personally just laugh haha" isn't the magical fix it used to be, when you start adding up what it takes to >A. find a committed partner >B. get her to agree to give birth >C. raise children for 20 years >D. without them getting assfucked by globohomo from age 3 and that urge starts becoming a higher priority by the day.
Just Rick 'n Mortying it and laughing at delusional twitter hot takes and ridiculous headlines on Any Forums like you were watching a reality TV show doesn't cut it anymore.
>i really wouldn't be surprised if suddenly in my life there was a huge push for traditional marriage, families and all the retarded shit was hated again. Entirely possible, but shit that happens 100 years in the future isn't too relevant for the problem at hand. Because I can tell you it's not going to happen in the near future.
Jacob Campbell
I have,because my city is the same as it ever was,people just wear masks now also I play in 2 bands and go to the gym regularly
Also another thing that helps is that I'm decently progressive so I'm not afraid of seing black peopel on the street or to hear people discuss their issues and whatever crazy shit they like to do HAHAHAH
I don't think you're mentally ill but you definitively might have some kind of psychological issue going on lmao
Jonathan Sullivan
>you definitively might have some kind of psychological issue going on the psychological issue of caring about the state of my surroundings. lmao just go home and watch Disney+ and don't worry about it. TV's are cheaper than ever. you must be sick in the brain if the condition of your community impacts you in any way.
for the record I have been checked out by actual specialist docs, and they tell me I might have mild depression. that's it. so essentially a nothingburger, because the test for a depression diagnosis is just "do you sometimes feel more sad than you used to? ok $200 please here's your paper proving you are depressed". everything else checks out, mental and physical. I lift too.
>I'm not afraid of seing black people I'm not afraid of shit in my toilet either, but I'd rather flush it down than display it around my house. Keep the niggers in Africa.
the local university just concluded a study, and somalis were like 17 times more likely to rape and afganis 14x compared to the local population. crime rate in general was up like 800% employment rates were under 50% but I have something wrong in my head for not wanting more of this. Because the TV says it's for good.
Kevin Foster
ok, ok actually based.
I'm generally pro-letting people be people and do what they want. I have some close friends who are that put-shit-in-their-twitter-bio type of person, but I think that's bullshit personally.
I think in the end though it's just another retelling of the same story. I'm sure as long as there has been society, when things get stale and people start talking about restructuring things, there's always weird cliques, and factions that take it too far, and I think people in the middle always get squeezed when that happens.
I lean pretty hard left (for the US...) nowadays, but because I came to that position though, you know, talking to real people irl, all the identity politics of the online left mean nothing to me. I have trans friends, I believe in systemic racism, etc. etc. but I'm not going to be caught dead carrying my leftie card right underneath my ironic twitter name with emoji flags and shit. I don't even want to talk about politics with the people I respect anymore, let alone shove it in the faces of whatever jagoff happens to click on my posts fuck that shit
Julian Long
lol you sound so fucking sheltered
No, no one is saying that immgrants are saints or that there aren't any issues with them, of course shit's gonna be messed up no one denies that, it's just that you're a ignorant racist retard if all you can think to say is
>nigger bad keep nigger in africa durrrrrrr
>Just watch Disney+
I don't wanch that or anything similar lol
>TV says Good so you believe TV
I don't watch TV that much either retard believe it or not some people have progressive opinions becuae of things they saw in real life
Jonathan Adams

Same and based, fuck twitterites
Joshua Butler
>sheltered lol I was sheltered as a kid. And you know what I believed? The TV. American movies. That black people are these quippy comical characters, but otherwise just like everyone else, and all those uneducated racists are just jealous like my late night talk show's guests told me.
Then I tried moving abroad. I lived in a country WITH black people. I moved to a city with millions of people, and lived in high-density neighborhoods. I ACTUALLY CAME INTO CONTACT with black people. And not ghetto niggers, these were the upper echelon of negro, educated coons. Still could immediately tell something was off, like they were half-humans wearing a skin. The missing link. Soon it all started lining up. The thing that made me racist was actually experiencing what black people are like, as opposed to their propaganda representation. Naturally I came back having learnt my lesson, but the flood gates had opened here as well. So keep seething and coping and we'll see who's the sheltered one. And don't even dilate about how "I'm just used to yt pypo". First off, there' literally nothing wrong with that. Nordic countries, South Korea, Japan, Switzerland, New Zealand. All the countries with the most functional societies are also the MOST HOMOGENOUS. Secondly, I'm just fine with foreigners, even non-whites, as long as they aren't shitty subhumans (africans, abbos, indians etc.)
>things they saw in real life real life ...on their phone, selected by the globohomo algorithm.
Grayson Clark
>I was sheltered as a kid. You sure sound like it.
>And you know what I believed? The TV. American movies
and you shouldn't have,not for the reasons you think
>That black people are these quippy comical characters, but otherwise just like everyone else, and all those uneducated racists are just jealous like my late night talk show's guests told me.
Not what i believe, if you think progressives think that you're a retard
>real life ...on their phone, selected by the globohomo algorithm.
no, actual real life with actual real people you gigantic fucking retard
> The thing that made me racist was actually experiencing what black people are like
And what are they like? let's hear it? where did you move?
Gavin Carter
>You sure sound like it. Yeah, and you know what. It was fucking great. My parents are just regular middle class, but back then everyone could afford a safe and sheltered upbringing. The place was 100% white, the gays were supressed as they should be, there were no fucking trannies or "drag queens" anywhere to be seen and for all their faults even the public schools mostly stayed in their lane and didn't try to force feed propaganda (well, other than pro-EU propaganda, but beggars can't be choosers.)
It really is not the "burn" you think it is that I was able to experience youth in a safe, predictable growing environment brought about by a homogenous society that embraced communalism and traditional values. How detestable, not at all like the protagonists in my Netflix series.
>you shouldn't have,not for the reasons you think I'm well aware now that the reasons go beyond their portrayal of the inferior races. I don't know why you would think all this other shit they're pushing is false but THIS RACE THING THOUGH, that's the one where the billion dollar corporations have your best interest at heart and are just acting out of kindness.
>if you think progressives think that you're a retard are you arguing the average "progressive" does not think >just like everyone else, and all those uneducated racists are just jealous like my late night talk show's guests told me. and they might not say "negro do a funny dance" but they sure like to use their "expressive" nigger reaction gifs and watch their favorite negros on the TV get wonderfully argumentative not at all like boring wytes and no, I'm not getting mad about gifs. I'm just saying "the funny negro from africa" is just an extension the same shtick hollywood has been doing since the 1920s.
>actual real life with actual real people your surroundings must suck pretty badly if black people don't stick out like a sore thumb. I'm sorry.
>where did you move? first the midwest for 2 years, then later ireland.
Isaac Jackson
>And what are they like? unreliable lazy violent borderline illiterate unprofessional and unskilled after being fast tracked due to token status always late weirdly feminine in their obsession over "pack pecking order" aggressive not capable of working in teams and did I say unreliable?
coming from a white country I'm willing to bet over 90% of people I've come into contact with in my life have been white.
100% of people who have stolen from me are blacks 100% of people who have stood me up after agreeing on a meeting are blacks 100% of people who tried to act like something that happened didn't happen are blacks 100% of people who tried to act like they didn't say something they said are blacks
they are not human in the same way caucasians or east asians are. they are a subspecies with mainly the same genome but distinct differences
Carter Price
>waaaaaaah wah trannies bad waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
lol
> It really is not the "burn" you think it is that I was able to experience youth in a safe, predictable growing environment brought about by a homogenous society that embraced communalism and traditional values. How detestable, not at all like the protagonists in my Netflix series.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA You god damned fucking retard: No, it isn't "detestable", it's just that it made you in particular a stupid naive motherfucker:
>are you arguing the average "progressive" does not think blah blah balh
Outside of sheletered communities, especially in America, and Twitter no,they don't.
>first the midwest for 2 years, then later ireland.
That's it? that's your "Negro country"? You stupid fucking imbecile,you really are a sheltered fucking dumbass:
>your surroundings must suck pretty badly if black people don't stick out like a sore thumb. I'm sorry.
I live in southern italy, and I got to understand why many people who are disadavtaged act the way they act. it does not justify any crimes or bad actions but it sure makes people like you look like collossal sheltered retards
Jason Jackson
>a stupid naive motherfucker Sounds like a major cope. Maybe you always had to live in a "multicultural" hellhole and don't know any better. Too bad, I don't wish that on anyone. Some of us have tasted better, though, and it was available for all of my people, regardless of income or social status.
The fact that you never got to taste it doesn't mean I want my community and my loved ones' future to be dragged down to your level, though.
>especially in America, and Twitter no,they don't. Why are you lying? >just like everyone else is literally the official "progressive" interpretation, forced by every government institution, every international organization, every PR firm, every corporation etc. and a near ubiquitous majority of "progressive" individuals as well. As is >uneducated racists are just jealous
>That's it? that's your "Negro country"? Yes. And again, this is not the burn you think it is. I said I come from a white country. That does not mean "60% white" like it does for you. It means a city of 300,000 people, 99.9% white. A few chinese restaurants and kebab cooks. Other than that, all white. I first saw a black man in my home town at age 12.
The fact that just 10% or 5% of these subhumans is enough to drag a society down certainly speaks volumes. Why do you think I would ever go to fucking Africa to see all the wonderful achievements they've managed on their own, I don't know.
>I live in southern italy I've been there plenty of times. And not to shit on your hometown or anything, but Southern Italy IS a shithole. Some of the most corrupt government in all of Europe. Nothing works like it's supposed to. So my theory was pretty spot on. In that environment their impact is lessened.
Gabriel Bell
>100% of people who have stolen from me are blacks Karma >100% of people who have stood me up after agreeing on a meeting are blacks Karma >100% of people who tried to act like something that happened didn't happen are blacks Lol. Good. Fuck you >100% of people who tried to act like they didn't say something they said are blacks Rofl.
Samuel Lewis
>Maybe you always had to live in a "multicultural" hellhole and don't know any better
No, you stupid pretentious asshole, it smply means I know what disadvantaged people are like and they aren't the spooky boogeymen you se in your mind
I used to have the same stupid ass calssist and racist thoughts that you have then I grew up a little.
>is literally the official "progressive" interpretation
Not really and even if you see it that way it ain't wha you think. I tmeans that when you don't have a sitation like it was in america where these peole got assfucked for centuriess, they are juist like you.
>It means a city of 300,000 people, 99.9% white. A few chinese restaurants and kebab cooks. Other than that, all white. I first saw a black man in my home town at age 12.
Which means you grew up sheltered and you now think that some things happen to people "just because they're bad" lol
>So my theory was pretty spot on. In that environment their impact is lessened.
No it isn't "spot on" you fucking dumbass. It just means that over here you get to se what life is like when you are advantaged and what it's like when you're not, simply put.
Xavier Bell
africa begins at the alps. I suppose this is all business as usual for you.
also I don't know if you know this, but Chicago and Detroit, two of the major metropolitan areas in Midwest, are also the cities with the largest black population in the US. but keep seething how I'm a sheltered fucking dumbass imbecile that hasn't been anywhere near beautiful black pypo
