Tomorrow begins my first day of my third year of highs school.
Like almost everyone here I was also for a long time the biggest antisocial weirdo and have wasted all my teenage years up until now. But I want to change this. At least on this last year I want to live "normally" and have friends.
Can I still live the teenage high school life or am I too old for that? Can you old geezers give me some advice?

best way to get friends is just not to think really, be in the moment and just say the things you wanna say. never talk bad about anyone else and if you wanna stay safe. another important thing is to stand your own ground, if you think like everyone else and agrees on everything - then you are boring.

Ironic, i've few to none friends but talking with people is so easy these days. used to be very shy and anxious for most of my life.

I had this. I moved schools in my last year due to shit and realized I could see whether or not it was because I was an autist or if everyone at old school just hated me (my nickname used to be 'school shooter' lmao)
I discovered it was half/half. On one hand nobody bothered me, I had pleasant interactions. But it was lonely, not horribly lonely but I just couldn't fit in anywhere, I floated around all the cliques, groups, individuals, etc... couldn't stick to anything
Anyway it's nearly the end anyway. I'd also like to know how your year went

This takes me back. I never had friends in high school or college. I still don't have any and I've never been in a relationship. It's mostly my own fault for avoiding people or obsessing over grades. Now I'm nearly 30 and way too old to keep up with people. This might be your senior year but you can make a change now. Even if you graduate without friends your still young enough to make them or get a gf. The gap isn't that wide. The biggest mistake I made was defeatism. I'd try to make friends, fuck up, then come away thinking it was hopeless and avoid people for years and then try again and the cycle repeats. I was my own worst enemy.

Learn to accept setbacks and rejection and take up every opportunity that comes your way. "Oh you guys doing group study? Mind if I tag along?" Don't be afraid of coming off as awkward or strange. You will come off as a weirdo at first. It will be hard since everyone's got their cliques and friend groups. Just push through it. You will over think things. Your brain will worry. Remember, don't think just do.

What’s the link? Is there a link or is it just a bias?

It always feels like you need to be a certain level of unhappy to make good art. It’s like mental instability fuels creativity. Does it actually? If not, why does it feel that way?

I believe that it's a myth which makes for a nice underdog story. Artists also buy into it and I think try to procure such stories themselves.
It's not necessarily true though. A lot of the people I see who've talked this talk have very little talent actually, and mostly want to yammer on about the piece to cover up the fact that there is nothing in it.
Sometimes there is a link. It's a very individual thing though.

Mental health could instead be a proxy to "Mental Veil"

As one peels away ideals and illusions accompanied, the schism between the daily and the stripped down reality acts as a fork in the road. One either spirals out of control, or weaves their own amusements on and away.

People like stories that they can relate to and that describe a similar situation to their own. People who have depression have an easier time relating to art about depression. I'd say how much you like art made by mentally ill people compared to art made by normal people depends on how mentally ill you yourself are.

I think people emphasize too much about relatability when curiosity also plays a role. 'A day in the Life of an Exotic Dancer' will attract more eyes than 'A day in the Life of an Accountant.', generally. Regular people can be curious about how the mind of a mentally ill person works. If it was as much about relatability as some imply, the works of mentally ill people wouldn't get nearly as much general exposure as they do.

Think of all the young teenagers with hopes for their future who just died young and are now burning in hell forever for not accepting Christ and instead living for the world. Imagine their parents either in denial in clueless about what is happening to their beloved children and will continue to happen forever

Little Tommy may have had plans to hang out with his friends the next day… He got shot by a feral nigger… Now he's being tortured in hell. Imagine the screams. Imagine what Tommy is thinking right now. He never paid much attention to religion. He was just a child. Maybe excited to one day find a woman he will love while living a relatively calm life. If only he had accepted Christ… Nobody told him it is not a fairytale. That doesn't excuse 15 year old Tommy, though. He will be burned, stabbed, ripped apart, fed boiling iron, eaten by maggots, and so on for all eternity.

Think of all the young teenagers (aged 13 to 16) that decide that their lives are too miserable, so they tie a noose around their neck, thinking it will be lights out forever… Ooops!!! No it's not!!! They suddenly stand before The Lord. No western standards of what a little heckin kid is. They think to themselves "How could this have happened? You were not supposed to be real! I am just a child!!!", but it is too late.
Their parents and loved ones will share posts on social media like "Fly high, rest in peace angel, etc", unaware their little angel they raised for over a decade is now being tortured forever in hell.

The doctrine of 'Hell' is a human-origin teaching that is utterly wrong and offensive to God.

The term 'Hell' does not exist in the Old Testament, some translations such as the KJV have translated words like 'Sheol' to Hell, but the vast majority of biblical scholars (including those who might believe in Hell or that Hell is mentioned in the NT) agree that it's totally inappropriate. Sheol and Abaddon (in the OT) are terms used in a poetic, symbolic way to represent and convey teachings that I won't go into here, but they have nothing to do with causing human beings endless suffering. Most translations today use 'death' for Sheol and 'annihilation' of Abaddon , but even these terms don't really covey what they mean, and they do NOT relate to threats against humans to cause them endless post-mortal suffering. If you actually read the OT with an open mind and not through the filter of these doctrines, you'll see that I'm correct here.

The NT is more complex, 'Hell' is an English word so that word doesn't appear in the NT, the original terms are 'Gehenna', 'Hades' and 'Tartarus'. Now if you know anything about Greek mythology it might strike you immediately that 'Hades' and 'Tartarus' are Greek mythological concepts, so this should ring alarm bells. Is Greek mythology somehow well-aligned with the teachings in the OT and of Jesus? If you actually read through the NT and examine the places where these terms appear, they are used to symbolise things - usually they symbolise JUDGEMENT. So for example there's the PARABLE of 'The Rich Man and Lazarus', which depicts a rich man dying and then, "in torment" looking up and seeing Abraham (read the full thing here ), now if you read that through the filter of the 'hell doctrine', it's reasonable enough I guess at face value to say that this is a depiction of hell below and heaven above and so on. Without that filter, however, and a better knowledge of the writings as a whole and the context, it appears the author\speaker is appropriating the symbology of Hades, the underworld (a Greek mythological concept), where in many cases people thought of it as being structure with 'strata' based on the moral good of a person during life. On one level the story is saying basically that once you're dead, you can't go back and be a better person or change what you did or your relationship with other people. There are actually other layers to the story that I won't go into but if you read it in context, the original author\speaker wasn't depicting or defending the notion of Hell. There are a few other examples like Jesus talking about "burning up" branches and so on - but again this is not talking about people physically being tortured by flames for eternity, it's talking 'election' or about how some actions will 'endure' or have 'enduring value' while others do not.

I've read through this stuff many times and I'm fully confident that 'Hell' isn't even a concept that the NT authors believed in, it is simply a doctrine\filter that is IMPOSED on translations of the original text and via culture\religion, so that many people get damaged by it.

Don't take anything I've said as 100% truth, but OP is absolutely wrong and I'd beg him to reconsider saying such ugly things about others and about God.

In my belief, any adult, teenager, or child who dies is simply unconscious\non-existent for now, they will awake at the resurrection of all the dead, and be comforted.

>I'd like to investigate this idea

One decent source on the 'Hell' doctrine thing is this site (godsplanforall.com). Please note that I don't agree with everything these people say, or even their general outlook, but it has some good sections (especially 'Part II', Chapters 15-20, it's really not that long to read) going into how the bible translations have been shaped by this doctrine and how the doctrine is imposed on the writings. There are other sources you could try too.

>The one thing that witheld me from conversion was the concept of heaven and hell seemed ridiculous. It seems so imbalanced, so wasteful, so weird, so unnecessary.

I don't want to convert you to anything. I think it's so absurd because humans have this tendency to use threats of violence to coerce others, for profit or gain in some way.

If you had an interest in approaching the subject, I'd say start by focusing on reading the Book of Proverbs over and over again, maybe 100 times. Read it and try to understand what it's actually saying, meditate on it. Don't take things at face value. Listen intently. Early on you'll see the expression "the fear of The Lord", which when read through the filter of something like the hell doctrine might mean one thing, but what's it actually mean?

Whatever the case, the whole idea of hell is perverse and wrong and doesn't even accord with what the NT authors wrote.

No worries! I became interested in Christianity after years of being a staunch atheist. The catalyst was a dream I had where a man came to me, told me his name, and said I must look him up. I did that, and what I found was that his name was Greek for 'messenger of God'. I don't know Greek or anything, in fact the word wasn't even a 'real' word, it was a composition of two words.
The only thing that sat wrong with me about all the doctrine was that of heaven and hell, and I was sad to give up my journey because I was just stuck at why these things exist, and nobody wants to talk about it.
So thank you for giving me an avenue where I may find answers.

Now, I've never actually been to a therapist (thank god), but in my second year of high-school, people in my year kept getting busted for doing crazy shit, (like the boys were climbing school buildings, and torturing monkeys, and the girls were stealing test tubes to use as sex toys, and shitting in the middle of the bathroom floor (all unrelated incidents)), so they hired some sort of trained psychologist, who each of us had to see at least once a week. I think they made me go to work on my 'porn addiction', which was discovered at an earlier (super awkward) meeting (interrogation) between me, my parents, and the principal.

Personally I was fine with this arrangement, since my session came on Friday afternoons. I got to cut class and basically considered it an early start to the weekend. However I think this psychologist lady was a hack. She started right away making inferences about me that I didn't identify with, and I think she was just barelling along with generalized therapy-speak and hoping I would respond (considering she was seeing several dozen students a week, would it really be possible for her to focus on any one of us?)

I remember one time I told her I liked to draw, so she told me to come back for the next session with one of my drawings. I forgot all about that until 10 minutes before the session in question, and I rushed out some bullshit drawing without thinking too much. (It was some kid sitting on a beanbag chair, eagerly watching TV, if I remember correctly.) When I showed her the drawing she spent time analyzing it and humming like she was comprehending something, and I was kind of worried she would realize I rushed it out. But she looked at me and said 'You know, going by this drawing, I think you're kind of a nervous person, you know, with how sharp the lines are, and how the kid is leaning forward in the beanbag chair, I think you're kind of a harried person, there's a lot of nervous energy in this drawing."

And I had to try really hard to hold back laughter, since I was thinking 'Well of course there's a lot of nervous energy in the drawing, I did it in 8 minutes before I got here to avoid turning up empty-handed!'

Anyway I never really had a breakthru with that psychologist, maybe because I wasn't 'open' enough. ( I had a suspicion that she was giving reports to the administration, and if I said anything incriminating they would call my parents and turn it into a disciplinary case.) And after that I left the school cause we moved too far away, so I never saw her again.

Anyway, what are your own personal experiences with therapists/counsellors/psychologists?

I've seen various different people - from the "guy at school that the problem kids get sent to", to several years of seeing various psychologists/psychiatrists/therapists (some I was forced to, others I purposefully seeked out)

My conclusion was that 99% of them suck and aren't qualified to do their jobs, and any benefits they might bring about are placebo + sunk cost fallacy at best ^^;

2 major things helped me escape the situation I was in:
1. finding sum good people on teh interwebs who had the patience to give me advice after I asked for help (this was 2015-2016, not sure this is even possible these days with how much more retarded everyone is)
2. one particular therapist giving me the idea of breaking down the steps to overcoming my issues into the tiniest of baby steps (to the point where each individual step was very easily doable) - they were otherwise totally useless and too expensive (for a NEET, but the cheaper ones sucked even harder)

I saw many since my early childhood (all forced by parents), apparently my parents and various teachers suspected I was autistic... But I wasn't.
One of them diagnosed me with major depression and gave me heavy SSRIs during my adolescence. I was sure at the time that they had no effect on me, so one day I just quit using them and felt no difference afterwards. I was either diagnosed wrongly, the medicine had no effect on me, or perhaps my brain is too b0rked purin

One of the last ones I visited told me I could have a certain situation, which sounded reasonable to me. If he was right (I am still not 100% sure myself if this is the case), it has no cure and I can live just fine without treating it. My parents were starting to give up too, so I didn't visit many of them afterwards.

Bonus: One of the first things nearly all of them would ask me was if I hear voices that weren't there, some asking it multiple times. Whatever that implies aside, should they even ask that to the patient himself? O_o

>Hawt! Did they ever return them used?

Not as far as I know. The story is that a group of them were caught in the bathroom during an assembly ( when most people in school could be counted on to stay away), showing each other how to use it safely, and apparently showing each other this trick where they roll it over and over in their hands and press it between their thighs so that it ends up warm. The implication is definitely that it was sort of a common practice. I don't know what exactly 'showing each other how to use it' implies. Maybe it was talk, or maybe they were having some kind of orgy in there. I like to imagine the latter.(´￢`)

If it was very rampant, it may well be that they returned some used. nida

With an original intent to share math problems, is it worth the liability?

Anonymous venues dot many memories, so surely another wouldn't hurt.
But it's hard to say where one ends up from all of that.

This thread comes from a deeper desire to "party up" and make something more.

It's a new website owned by a new person with none of the old users. There's no continuity with any previous iteration of world2ch besides the domain and a few assets taken from archives, so it's more accurate to say "there's a fan-made world2ch remake" than "world2ch is still around"

in a very serious way i hope the next stage is condemning the shitty gays and admitting that pride movement was embarrassing. forcing gay values on children was violating them and exposing them to it as toddlers and forcing its way into the education system was backwards.

I'm one of those scum that believes that there should be no rules to sex apart from the obvious three: no woman should be raped no older person should have sex with a prepubescent child, and no male should be sodomized. Simple. I don't care what anyone else does. If a 18 year old dates a 16 year old so what big fucking deal. If a 16 year old sleeps with a 90 year old, good for him. The sexual revolution was a mistake.

In 1955, John Money coined the word "gender" in its current form, and performed a penile mutilation ritual to the newborn David Reimer; he had the boy's testicles lobbed off, replacing it with an artificial VAGINA, and had his parents raise him off as a girl while undergoing hormone treatments. Furthermore, he had David as a young child immitating sex acts with his twin brother. Money even had the brothers undressed, and engaged in "genital inspections" - in which he took a photograph of on at least one occasion. Money described the experiments as successful, though David never ended up identifying as a woman, and describes his visits with Money as dramatic.

Except, in adulthood, David's brother killed himself with anti-depressants, and later by shooting himself in the head.

bernardininer So what is the joke? I know, it's really good because it's like, "I have 100 bucks, I must be RICH." Yeah, I heard that too, and it's really not that funny, but hey, whatever floats your boat. I'm not going to argue with the dictionary definition of what's "rich", though.

Tell me another. Is that funny? The only thing I think is funny is that you just pronounced the word "joke" like, "joek".saitama

I've been thinking recently about how the Internet might look if it lost some basic functionality-- or never had that functionality in the first place.

For example, what if they never figured out how to get images or videos online, and the Internet was text only?

My optimistic idea is that it would drive all the narcissists out, since they couldn't make any shrines to themselves (except maybe narcissist writers), and the internet would be a slightly more intelligent place, since so many people hate reading.

What if it was images only? Well then it would probably be a narcissist overload; just some big dumb photo album--anyone with any brains wouldn't use it. Although it would probably be easier to avoid, like TV was. No text would mean it would be nearly useless for work or keeping in touch with people...

I'm wondering what ideas all of you might have...

If it was video only, or image only, you could have text appear on screen.

>What if the internet never came up with the idea of [x]boards at all. would forums reign supreme?
Assuming that u meant "imageboards/2ch-type boards" by [x]boards, the web didn't go from "everyone using forums" -> "everyone using [x]boards", so it's a misguided question to begin with

It's true that virtually every Western imageboard user prior to the mid-2010s started out on forums, because those had been the norm in the West since the late 90s. However, most forum users did not move to imageboards, since imageboards were always a niche even at 4chan's peak - the vast majority of ex-forum users went from using forums/chatrooms/IM/etc. -> using social networking sites/Twitter/various phone apps/Reddit/etc.

U can read https://wiki.heyuri.net/index.php?title=Imageboard for a little background on how the imageboard format came to be, and where in the timeline forum-style bulletin boards came along - their adoption in the West VS complete lack of adoption in Japan lead to Japanese and Western netizens venturing off down their own paths until 4chan somewhat bridged the gap years later (but only for a relatively small slice of Western netizens)

Yeah, I figured as much as well. Not that I doubted it, just interesting assumption. I'm thinking about that question because alot of common internet culture comes from imageboards and such. I wonder if it would be the same on forums.
(Though, I have to admit, it is probably a biased view about internet culture on my part.)

That was an interesting read btw! pata

No, I am not ok. I am sick and I cannot move. But I am still able to see and to listen. I am not alone. I am with my family and friends. I am not alone.
I am suffering from a medical condition that has caused me to be unable to move. It is something that I have been dealing with for a long time. I am not alone, as my family and friends have been there to support me throughout this ordeal.saitamasaitamasaitamasaitama
