What's the secret to happiness?
>>69239991
Not caring what people think of you.
>>69239991
Self confidence. Doesn't matter if you're dumb, ugly or a feminist if you <cliche> always believe in yourself </cliche>, you'll manage to delude yourself into thinking you're a fantastic person that does everything right if you have that magic source of happiness.
Source: I don't have any of it.

>Self confidence.
This is true. It's hard to build if you have low self-esteem so start by respecting yourself first.
>>69239991
Abandoning your hopes and dreams as well as any desires so that if any of those things happen you enjoy them, but you wont feel sad when they don't. (They wont.)

This will not make you happy, just more ignorant.
Caring about what people think of you, and constantly improving yourself as a person, is the key to a better life.

There's no one secret to happiness, but a collection of small secrets. Here's a hint, though: Leaving /pol/ is a good start.
>>69240982
You're likely not genetically predisposed to be the strongest, fastest, smartest, most attractive, etc person that there is. Which means the best you can settle for unless you are "That guy" is, "Almost as good as that guy." Which is still a fairly good achievement. But you'll be forgotten as soon as a new "That Guy" comes along.
Nobody remembers the man who invented the musket because the man who invented the rifle completely erased the need for them.
So either have low aspirations or no aspirations. I choose no aspirations because then I don't feel like shit for being shit.

Nah, because then you will improve yourself to a mold created by other people. The ideal position is not to care about what others think and simultaneously genuinely care about others .
the secret is that it doesn't exist
>>69239991
Finding your true love
>>69239991
Get off 4chan.
Don't stare at screens.

Constantly seek improvement (no matter how small)
Keep your environment relatively clean and organized.
Go to bed earlier, get up early.
Read every night before bed.

Easy to give, hard to follow.

>start by respecting yourself first.
I don't know how to do that. Probably because I have nothing to be respected for.
I've finished nothing noteworthy in my entire life.
I'm socially retarded. I literally don't know how to coldtalk and be friendly or carry a civilized and neutral discussion. I sit down with a group of other people and my mind shuts off completely, it's like watching a movie for the most parts.
I can answer a question by just letting go and having some subconscious routine formulate an answer. It's like my speech and conversational brain centers are isolated from my motor control ones.
I also don't see a future for myself, I got into a line of studies(medicine) that I feel my personality is completely inadqeuate for even though academically it works out in an ok manner.
Instead of finishing the studies and getting a job as I hoped would somehow be the case my brain insists of painting a plan where I finish the studies and jump in front of a train.
Atleast my social ineptitude means that only a few close friends will miss me.
Now tell me, how do I respect this person that happens to be myself? By any metric of /pol/ I should kill myself for being autistic and wanting to kill myself.
Longest study on the subject says the most important factor is good relationships with other people.

wealth and health

drugs, but not buying them from criminals.
Realizing that happiness and indeed all mental S states are choices, which can be made independent of external factors. Are you feeling pain, choose to be happy.
That being said, external things can still help happiness, and they're is nothing wrong with using them for that purpose so long as you're still cultivating the wisdom to choose happiness when confronted with pain.

>I've finished nothing noteworthy in my entire life.
This means you have the awareness to realise something about yourself that doesn't even occur to most people. This alone should give you some measure of self-respect.
Same goes for the other statements about yourself. It is this self awareness that blossom into an awareness that you aren't just the body you find yourself in. You are much more. You are, in fact, everything there is.
When you see this, all problems dissolve and you can rest in the infinite love of life because you will recognise that this infinite love is your true identity.

nope, it's more about identity and self-knowledge, deities are entirely optional.
>>69243749
You are not your achievements friend. If our actions will be forgotten soon as you die, what's the point in stressing about achieving anything. Achievement even in itself is highly subjective: what another person may consider an achievement is nothing more than waste of time to another.
Listen, you're already a complete human being, and nothing external is able to change that. Instead of focusing on what you could or could not do, ask yourself what you would ENJOY doing.

L O W test
Comparative success.
That's why landwhales and shit have gotten so out of hand lately. Back before the internet, and really before TV, you weren't too bad off being the ugly one of the town, but now they're comparing themselves to the literal best and they come up so short they'd get laughed out of /fit/.
Like, if you're a decent looking guy, best looking in your group of friends you're happy out, you're the good looking one. If you hang out with male models though, suddenly you're the ugly one, and although you haven't changed at all, you've gone from a happy position to a shitty one.
That Jew Sasha Baron Cohen actually got it right in Borat when he was talking about how him buying something, then his neighbour getting it, then him getting something else, and so on until he buys the iPhone or whatever and his neighbour couldn't afford it. He was the rich guy he was happy. But living next to a millionaire, someone who could afford all sorts of great shit that he couldn't he wouldn't have been happy at all.
So the secret to happiness isn't moving up. It's getting better and staying put.
Oh, and removing kebab.
>>69244339
>ask yourself what you would ENJOY doing
Girls/relationship, alcohol, games, being in the company of friends, feeling normal, travel perhaps? Haven't done it very much and it feels the novelty would wear off eventually.
The first one is unlikely though so I guess masturbation takes its places.
The other ones, while relatively modest, require money to sustain and I feel like all my career paths ended before they ever begun. I'd like to casually freelance but my capability to be extroverted and ambitious and get shit done is nonexistent so it seems unlikely too.
I've probably been depressed for the last several years but I'm too anxious and retard to visit a psych to get something prescribed.
