What are some life lessons you've learned this year, men? I'll start
>don't become too attached to a person, place, or time because people change, places must be left, and circumstances will not remain.
>true intimacy between man and woman, that is, being fully connected mentally and emotionally, is not realistic or possible. Women and men think differently and we are ultimately alone in our heads.
>love exists, but the romantic form of love does not last.
>always double check.
>>24812771
tell me a story op, i want to hear
When you come to a conclusion based on interpretation of many a bitter experience, don't mention it to immoral people. They will repeat it as their own, thus making the impression they know what they're talking about.
I've learned that I have no conscience.
>I will always fall into the same pitholes if I don't take a different route
My heart attack is inevitable.
>>24812821
Not much to tell when it comes down to it. It's the oldest story in the world. Fell in love with a girl, felt happier and safer than I ever had, we start fighting, things fall apart, she stops loving me and quickly moves on, and I was left crushed. Put myself back together. That's another lesson I've learned, every guy gets devastated by this kind of thing at some point and there's nothing to be done except accept it as a fact of life and carry on
I don't think I'll ever feel that way about someone again now that I've seen what it brings
>>24813000
Dont forget it anon. Its almost better to date someone you dont love.
Even you often ends up loving her.
I hate the love dream you get from media and parents as a child.
I rader grown up knowing things was gonna be shit
>happiness is entirely subjective and nothing is necessarily required to be happy, you just have to will yourself to see things positively and while things might not get better, the more you try to be happy and ignore the negative, the more you'll learn to push away the shitty feelings and feel them less. In the end the only way to get where you want to be and avoid demotivation is to pretend you're already there.
>nobody actually knows what they're talking about. Even the oldest, wisest man you know is totally making it up as he goes. We all just bullshit ourselves and try to impose some kind of order despite the fact that reality is utter insanity and chaos
The amount of time it takes you to get over a shitty experience is directly related to how long it takes you to stop feeling sorry for yourself. Not saying that it's the end-all of becoming emotionally secure, but it's a big step.
Self pity is a very dangerous and addictive emotion. Learn to recognize it and try your hardest to overcome it when it comes up. If you're depressed, medication can help a bit. At least it did for me.
>>24812771
As you get older you'll realize that girls get less and less attractive (much) and yet your horniness will not fade as you hoped it would as a teen.
You must act now!
>>24813223
after a while it is not worth the effort
>>24813223
Tbh its easier and cheaper to fap. I only really want a gf to have kids and the kind of girl I would want to pass her genes to my children is probably not the kind I could ever dream of having. I'd rather have no kids at all than have kids that will live a miserable life because they're ugly in a society that is becoming increasingly more vain.
>>24813245
Meh, i'm a thousand years old and I still nut everyday.
Takes a little more variety to get there though, I don't think i've fapped to vanilla porn for over a decade.
>>24812940
oh shit anon
>>24813134
But if you fall in love again won't the cycle just repeat itself?
That was how it began with that girl, I was just messing around and found myself head over heels.
I've had a couple flings in the months since that lasted about two weeks, where the girl said they didn't feel like having sex anymore, and I'm not sure if that's just how it will always be or if its a case of "nobody likes you when you're 23" (I'm 23)
Life is runescape. Lots of grinding and shitty levels but once youre out of the shit part it starts to get better but youre still wasting days of your life.
>>24813347
no its not your age, sexual prime for guys is 25-27
Pump and dump. You sound like a nice guy but if you have the chance to be chad then always be chad.
Then atleast the girls cant hurt you
My year was so uneventful I honestly can't think of anything I learned. That's pretty depressing desu..
>>24813462
This. Getting attached is a horrible idea. I've met tons of older single men who have gotten fucked over time and time again and never learned. Woman have short attention spans when it comes to guys. Just catch them and throw them back into the sea when you're finished.
>>24813509
At least nothing horrible happened right?
>>24812771
>old beliefs die just as hard as an old habit
>as more and more people spend more time on the internet it is easier to see its ability to poison and manipulate. I can get a vague outline of a person via there internet usage (4chan, tumblr, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Asos, eBay)
>friends make great lovers, but the idea of it has been lost to the interconnectivity of the Internet
>dating a female with a rather robot personality, I've discovered all true beliefs about women will apply to men just as well... Even as physically attractive as she is, it's hard to get past her lack of alluring personality and dullness
>so much more I can't even think of right now, this has been a beautiful year
>>24813462
But girls stop being attractive after 18, and they're all married by 25.
>>24813636
Yeah, I guess I can count that as a positive...
Stop hoping for romance.
Stop hoping for an ideal life or even a remotely secure life, it will drive you insane when you wake up to reality each morning. ACCEPT your total mediocrity.
>>24812771
>love exists, but the romantic form of love does not last.
This hits a bit too hard, anon. Also:
>no matter how shitty you are feeling, don't stop pushing forward, be it in studies, work, or in yourself
>>24813000
>one experience
>concludes there's no true love
Idiot.
>>24814251
Not OP, but i think avoiding getting attached is a good thing, i mean, sometimes when you are in a relationship, and you think you have something special with a girl, that becomes the source of your inner strenght, that becomes what drives you, specially if you don't have much else in your life, then you are fucked, because if by any chance it ends you are not just gonna loose the girl, you also loose your drive to do anything else, every other aspect in life looses its appeal.
So basically, by getting attached you are placing the outcome of your life on the feelings of someone else. You can imagine how badly that could turn out..
Most important think Ive learned:
>everybody lies
>normies will always laugh and make fun of males who have not lost their virginity at a normie-acceptable age
>once a robot, always a robot
>tfw no gf
>>24814488
I am getting through something like this now bros.
It's like i lost the sense of myself.
Shit I am never getting attached again./
>>24814030
>Stop hoping for an ideal life or even a remotely secure life, it will drive you insane when you wake up to reality each morning. ACCEPT your total mediocrity.
BUT HOW!?
Tell me HOW!?
I know the logic, but my body and mind won't shut the fuck up. I just want it to shut up and accept this shitty reality, but it's too painful to bare.
> one girl broke my heart
>all girls will break my heart
there are men and women who do form that kind of bond. look at couples who have been married for decades and are still in love. you won't necessarily find that, but don't make the mistake of thinking it's impossible
>>24815128
So it's still impossible for me. Got it.
>>24814583
boo hoo, the normies are laughing at me. why do you care what they think
Reminder to never cry or show weakness to anyone they will just use it against you later ESPECIALLY if it's a woman
If your going to cry do it in private when nobody's around
>>24814583
You are either born a robot or turn into a failed normie
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
EVERYTHING IS HELL
I WANT OUT
I WANT OUT OF THIS REAITY
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Practice takes away from the nuance and brilliance of a musical performance. The best performers are good readers.
Smoking is bad, but it is cool as hell. Only really to older folks, though (but they are the ones with the money).
Some of the best art came out of 1930-1965, when leaded gasoline was outlawed. I firmly believe this is because the neurological symptoms caused by inhaling lead () contribute to unique patterns of behavior and thinking. One of the effects of lead poisoning is seizures, so we know for a fact that it causes abnormal firing of neurons, which would result in atypical patterns of thought/physical movement.
Mom and Dad were right about most stuff, but I'm an adult now and can be right, too. But don't waste time making the same mistakes they did at this age. You also have to talk to them to get this; after the age of ten unsolicited advice is rarely offered.
Stop eating so much, you fucking pig. At least eat some vegetables
>>24812771
Check both ends of a street for no parking signs.
>>24815585
I LEARNED THAT I JUST WANT THIS NIGHTMARE TO END
THERE IS NO HOPE, HAPPINESS, COMFORT OR JOY IN THIS WORLD
ONLY SUFFERING AND PAIN AND IDLE TIME BEFORE THE ULTIMATE PAIN OF DEATH COMES
EVERYTHING HURTS
I JUST WANT TO BE RELEASED
I WANT TO LEAVE THIS WORLD AND NEVER COME BACK
THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING BETTER THAN THIS REALITY
I DON'T WANT IT ANYMORE
PLEASE JESUS
>>24815830
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
SOMEONE GET ME OUT OF THIS REALITY PLEASE
>>24816058
>>24815830
>>24815585
This year I learned anon likes to type in caps.
Also, he wants to leave this hellish existence
>>24814583
>once a robot always a robot
Naaah man. You can ascend from robotdom. I did and I had a shit life and terrible personality.
>>24815029
Ive found that it works better to hold on to hope
Will your hopes come true?
Not likely.
But its like a fuel, makes things less painful, when everything is shitty and hellish I can take that bit of hope out of my pocket and its like my little piece of sunshine
And then I can get myself to take some steps to make things not so hellish
Yes I'm aware how gay that sounds
>>24815596
Yo I've always thought that practicing music and learning everything about it takes some of the magic and spontaneity out of it. I haven't had much formal training in music besides high school stuff and I feel as if I can make melodies and songs very easily just by thinking of things that affect me emotionally.
Any musicians around here that have similar views? Or well trained ones with opposite views? This interests me
You guys are such negative nancies
>>24814114
Maybe it burns out quicker because it burns so bright
And yes
We must carry on
That is what we do men, we keep going
>>24816631
carry on to WHAT!?
>>24817104
To tomorrow
To that thing you always say you're gonna do someday
>tfw I'm afraid of people forgetting about me
>tfw I go to Taco Bell three nights in a row and the cashier knows me by name
>tfw I never go again to avoid people that might know me
So, don't care about what people think.
>>24812771
>What are some life lessons you've learned this year, men?
Op is a normie scum, and probably huge faggot.
>>24816557
I am trained in piano and music theory and i can say that I think you are correct. Think about some historic guitar solos, like the one in Comfortably Numb. Also, think about untrained singers like John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater revival. 9/10 people prefer this kind of genuine, natural, unabashed talent over a classically trained singer any day. Of course there is a market for classical music too but it is much narrower.
I think it has a lot more to do with how music is recorded: you can listen to a famous guitar solo in rock music as many times as you want and replicate it much more accurately to the artists intentions than you can from reading it off a page.
Math is actually fun if you try your best
Reading is the best way to spend an evening at home
Always do assignments immediately after receiving them
Pay kindness forward and you will not regret it
Friendship makes life worth living
Early to bed and early to rise, &c...
>Always keep your mind to whatever you're doing, instead of thinking of the over 9000 other things that are not relevant to the task at hand.
>Don't worry about money; you won't be able to concentrate properly if you're worrying
Our lives are meaningless.
Death makes everyone equal.
Hope is the most painful poison.
