>5'3" man
>is it over?
I was quite tall when I was young but eventually stopped growing. When I was tall relative to everyone else I just existed and social interaction was easy. As I grew older, I started getting bullied which reached its peak in the last year of high school. I didn't consciously know I was short then (probably sounds crazy to some of you but I unironically had the 6'1" mindset or whatever) so I blamed it all on society generally being antisocial, being a zoomer and everything. I'm now in college and finally understand that it was my height all along - there are plenty of social people they just don't want to associate with me. I'm not really bothered about girls knowing all the MGTOW stuff but women AND men don't like me. When I'm outside I just get constant signals of people not wanting me to be in their presence or whatever and it's turned me from someone who's out going to your typical weird short man. Now I'm preparing to start working and I'm wondering if I'm also going to shat on in work. Learning about the halo effect and such has taught me that even if I grind in my job someone else will be promoted because they're taller than me. Or if I join a community of people into something weird/niche I'll still be at the bottom of the social hierarchy even if the group is usually associated with losers. I need some short men who are going to tell me the truth about my situation because it either gives me the options of
>insane grinding on some sort of online business where I don't have to interact with people
>geomaxxing
Obviously these things can be goals for normal people but I'm wondering if I should drop everything and literally use every hour of the day to achieve these goals so I can get there as soon as possible. Of course I just want to chill and be a normal person but if its literally impossible in this society to do that I understand what I have to do

PUA culture was an honorable attempt at this but it's ultimately a misguided one, because PUAs are retarded apes whose sense of masculinity is consequently ape-like and retarded. All it has done over time is trained young men and women to disregard intellectual masculinity in favor of barbaric masculinity. The result is the hot dumpster fire of modern dating which is a completely degrading experience for anyone with an IQ over 130.

I have an autistic son my wife went behind my back and had him vaccinated over the course of a week. I am a truck driver and had to go. She had him “caught up with everything” because the doctor recommended it. So my seven year d son got 50 plus shots in a week. When I got back he was just gone. He just played in bed staring at the wall and started yelling on good days. I knew what happened immediately. As far as I’m concerned my wife killed my son. I’m cutting my losses but is there anyway for the state to come after me or do I have to leave the country? I live in the United States.

I think i might have complex ptsd and i have no idea how to fix it. I'm 27 and I've tried self medicating to do basic adult things like going to work and sort my day to day shit out. Now I'm addicted to benzos (which I'm slowly trying to wean off of) and I'm trying to get a job and establish myself and i just feel this overwhelming crushing feeling of hopelessness at how to handle my situation. I went to a trial shift at a kitchen today and for 6 hours straight it felt like my mind and body was on fire and it wasn't even that stressful but i was basically rawdogging it without drugs. I don't know if i can do this shit. I feel ashamed of myself so much. I've been to therapy and it's a fucking joke. My anxiety is 100x worse than it was 10 years ago. I also might have autism on top of everything else. Feeling pretty fucking close to the edge right now unironicaly. What the fuck do i need to do to be normal?
>>
>>31133290
Soooo;
1) stop self diagnosing. Mental illnesses aren't some pokemon you've got to collect. You may have problems, but so does everyone.
2) you're doing an unfamiliar thing in an unfamiliar environment. Of course that's stressful. Some days will be good, some bad, but it's no biggie. It'll get easier, if you allow it to become easier. Focus on the task at hand and do it to your best ability. This will speed up the time as well.

It's true, I'm labelling myself. And maybe I'm not of those things and maybe labels don't really matter. I just feel tired of my brain. I just wish i could shut it off sometimes but i don't know how. Maybe I'm not doing too badly but i only have my own perspective and i can only judge myself compared to how other people go about their lives. Years of 4chan have definitely not helped me rise the bar high for myself and have allowed me to wallow in self pity
>It'll get easier, if you allow it to become easier
That's the issue. It's like i can't let go of my fear and the more i try to just trust in myself the tighter it grips me. I wish i wasn't afraid of anything. I hate my anxiety and how much i feel it holds me back

Depressed, suicidual due to all of my actions, wondering what I should do right now with my life. Where would I go if I die?

Should I FOLLOw Christianity for my problems and see if I can god or jesus to give me a better life? Or see into science?

By taking some deep breaths and relaxing beforehand. If you have a female therapist, you'll likely develop feelings for her at some point. It's normal and is called transference, talk about it with her in session when it happens.

If not, just be honest and talk about what's on your mind. A good therapist won't shame you and will help you through it. Also keep in mind they have boundaries, they're not allowed to see you outside of session or be physical.

Good luck and I hope you heal quickly, anon.

Pick the number one thing that is bothering you. Ie, not having a job, mental breakdowns, friends/family problems, chronic pain. And then go in with the goal of solving that problem. Solving the biggest problem and greatly help with the rest.

I can't take any criticism at all. Even when I know rationally that there was nothing malicious behind it, and that I did actually make a mistake, whenever I am being criticized, I like physically feel blood running away from my brain down my spine and completely losing control over my behaviour. And if I manage not to explode my whole day is ruined because my hands just shake for the rest of it. I cannot grow at all in any of my skills at all because of that, or to present myself to the world, because I am too scared to get criticized. How do I even manage this shit if rationalizations don't help?

I wish I had mpney for therapy, on meetup costs like 100eu while I live off around 800 per month

The thibgs is though, this whole situation is only getting worse with age. Like on physical.level, my somatics become and outbursts become crazier.

I cannot use the internet anymore with the dramatically increasing presence of fake bot accounts to pos advertisements, fake articles written by AI to post advertisements to sell chink shit, fake AI generated images and videos literally showing objectively false and dangerous misinformation and also to advertise chink shit, advertisements from drop shippers, fake accounts and commenters pretending to be a white woman in Oregon commenting "this isn't fake, this is real trust me" but you check the account and see it's a week old and was created in and posts from bangladesh or pakistan. I'm pretty sure you fellow 4channel tourists are also either bots or hopefully figments of my imagination. Only porn is the last "real thing" on the internet but even then I'm pretty sure it's only because whores are cheaper than funding a fully AI video.

Not sure where to go from here, purposely isolating myself from the internet just seems unfeasible but I will start mailing bombs to people if I keep having to deal with this dystopian bullshit

THis is the 'advice' board. So if you're actually looking for advice, I'd say
1. don't become a terrorist (I think this is very sound advice)
2. Go ahead and isolate yourself from the internet. It's as easy as cutting one cable on your router (pro tip: cancelling your internet subscription accomplishes the same while additionally increasing how much money you have)

If you didn't want to receive advice but rather were hoping for people to chime in with 'yeah you're so right I also think today's internet sucks so much boohoo' it might have been better to post this on another board, one which wasn't explicitly intended for advice. Just as a friendly word of advice

I live in a third world country where quality mental health treatment is hard to find. However, I got diagnosed with ADHD and was given Concerta 36 mg ER.
I stayed on it for two weeks before my parents had a falling out with my therapist who was overcharging them and I never went back to her. My father flushed down the concerta and I never came across any psychiatrist who would agree to get me back on it.
I have always had self-discipline issues. I eat a lot, I am addicted to energy drinks for fucks sake.
No matter how many times I set out to stop doing the bad things that I do, study more, eat less, etc, I would just go back to my old state within a week.
I am 24.
Is it over? Are there any medication-free ways to change my life, or should I just accept the cards I've been dealt?

It comes from religious lunatics.
7th Day Adventists. They created the American Diatetics Association about 100 years ago and they have been using it to push veganism ever since.

I have higher than average IQ. But there's nothing I can teach you really. A lot of people seem to think having high IQ makes you more likely to be lazy and never develop good work ethic. But desu, I think my life would have turned out even worse if I had lower IQ. Basically I'm saying I was born with high IQ and I was also born with lower motivation and less capacity for having fun than the average person. So if you took away the high IQ the only thing that would be different is my life would've gone downhill 10 years earlier

>>31131694
Ok I actually remembered something I can give you as advice.
1. In my experience, doing something like work or sitting in class etc. results in me finding the things I do for entertainment less boring the next day. Maybe it has something to do with sort of forgetting that you've seen something similar before, or reducing 'tolerance' to entertainment.
2. If I spend weeks NEETing, I reach a point where any entertainment available to me is literally equally as boring as sitting in class or working a job that is boring (but not horrible).

From 1. and 2. it obviously follows that having a job or sth. like that actually makes it easier to enjoy life even if you don't enjoy the job (as long as you don't hate it) and exclusively derive enjoyment from entertainment in your freetime.

i think this might be a pretty common thing to talk about here, but since i don't have anyone else to seek advice from (pretty lame ik) let's just go for it.
i go to uni and i work but despite all of that exposure to social interactions i have no friends... i do have some people that i play online shit with but i haven't had the real friend connection i see other people have for years :(
i am not that socially awkward i think, i mean i can hold a conversation pretty ok but still it's really hard

i'm not seeking advice on finding friends cuz that might just be too difficult (though if u have something ig just say it lol) i mainly wanted to ask how do u guys deal with loneliness?

Oh I'm not denying it completely whatsoever, however miniscule role it plays out in our lives. However you enlarge it to these astronomical levels, yet still you are here on 4chan, in a thread about loneliness.
Don't give me the cope of "Oh I'm here to GIVE advice" because even in your cope post you didn't give ANY specific advice.
If spirituality would actually work, we would have data of spiritual people being more happy or at the very least less miserable than the average is, which is not the case.
However I know of people who were deeply spiritual yet their spirituality didn't work at all which left them shattered.
So stop giving bullshit ideas to people like OP that are hurtful for them in the long run. Unless he actually physically starts working on his problems, nothing is going to help him. And it's only gonna get worse.
