FUCK YOU NORMIES, YOU'RE JUST AS MISERABLE AS WE ARE
WHY DID I BUY INTO YOUR FUCKING BULLSHIT FACADE
So yes, today I learned that being a normie doesn't change shit and that most normies are genuinely lying about how happy they are. It's just that their brand of misery is more socially acceptable. That's literally all it is. Fucking kill me.
Hopefully you can make your savings last, or do you still have income of some kind? Also, maybe try to form some type of identity outside of a dead meme perpetuated by a toxic community? Idk man, good luck.

I had everything that normies define as success: a high paying job, a nice apartment, good social status, bla bla bla. I was even more miserable than when everyone was looking down on me.
Still processing how fucked up this is, desu.
its time my friend, let the way of melee guide you to ascendance
>>24954918
look anon
at the end of the day, you've got an interesting story to tell, with life experiences I'm sure many others will never get to experience.
Which is a pretty decent accomplishment.

God damnit: there ought to be some kind of reward for being a normie if normies are going to try sell this shit to every "loser" that they meet.
Fuck this. I am going to go spend 50 Bitcoins on drugs and move back home. I am not even joking.
I guess the grass is always greener on the otherside eh?
>>24955574
Give me one coin:^
I must kill the normies!
>no anon...
>you are the normie
and then anon was a zombie
>>24955574
>smart enough to become some bitcoin computer sec dude
>not smart enough to be happy
Normies have very wide social support networks, nets and nets of people that constantly validate them, build bonds with, experience things with, have fun with etc.
Did you pick up any friends at work you could be comfortable with just sitting silently next to? Friends you could shoot the shit with any time either of you were up for it? Someone who you could confide in and who would do the same? That's not to mention the constant sex that normies get, which is a nice but incomplete source of validation.
Having the drive to excel, which was what you did, and also having a social support network, that's the dream life that normies live. Having something to be enthusiastic about and having someone to be enthusiastic with.

I think there's something wrong with me. Maybe people like me can only be happy with drugs
>>24955791
You seem to be steering yourself towards drugs as an option.
It sounds like a really short-term solution for all the long-term effort you put in to get to where you are now but hey your money your life
>>24955463
Did you have a good social life where you hung out with people and had fun often?
>>24955791
If you're going to do drugs I highly recommend you don't do stimulants.
Speed can will fuck up your brain and your life in ways you can't even imagine. The fact that they give that stuff to kids so they can "pay attention" and "be productive" is sick.
Plus there's the whole prescription-drugs-are-barely-regulated-the-FDA-is-full-of-shit thing, too.
>>24955791
i promise drugs will only make it much much worse. addiction can bring misery that you can't even imagine. think you're empty now? wait until you're a few down the road with a drug addiction.
drugs kill the pain, and the joy, and the hope, and the mind, and the body, and the soul.
>>24955791
Dissociatives are nice in that they're very psychedelic but you can take them every day. They can take you to lands far further than traditional psychedelics can. Some of them don't fuck you up too bad and you can live your whole life on them while kinda numb and out of it. They can be very addictive though.
