What are some hard life lessons you leraned in 2015?
Shit... You just had to remind me
I'd say I came to the realization of how unlikely it is for my life to truly get better
>>25402408
There's no point in trying if you aren't genetically superior.
>Depression can't be cured.
>Women are fickle, you cannot go soft on them.
>Women can't be trusted.
>I'm never going to achieve anything.
>First impressions are all that count.
>>25403382
There's still things you can do such as master your body and brain. Women are overated as fuck anyways.
I'll never be loved by anybody other than myself, family and pets and I've been doomed since birth to a life of solitude.
At least knowing that I can take more risks and not worry about my future as much as I used to.
>>25403406
I'm not talking about women, meight
>>25402408
Joke's on you,my momtold me they love me last night.
>>25403406
How do you "master your body and brain" if you have to shitty genetics? I always wanted to learn more about the universe but I find that when I get to university level science I can't understand shit because I'm too stupid. I've tried for years and been motivated so there's no reason I can't do it other than lacking the required intelligence because my genetics didn't give me a NASA quantum computing brain.

Thanks for the reminder anon
Disappointment comes through expectations, and if you expect nothing, there's nothing to be disappointed by.
the only thing I want in life is to have a woman I love look me in the eyes and truthfully tell me she loves me back
First impressions are everything.
>>25402408
>last time was new years
>2012
Things are usually not what they seem
I already knew that, but I trusted myself before
Now I'm not sure if I can even do that
I don't really know anything
That people will use you if you let them. Real friends are there money or not, fun times or not, drugs or not.
A Grown Man Is Suppose To Have His Own Car, Apartment/house & Money. Robot or not.
How wrong you are, OPit's my mom
>>25403596
>A Grown Man Is Suppose To Have His Own Car
i can't pass the damn dmv exam for fuck sake, i can drive, i took the company's car a thousand times to go for lunch and shit because my boss assumes i have a drivers license, fuck the system

I never dated in high school. Finally got a girlfriend this year after my first semester of college. Dated for 6 months, she broke my heart.
I always held up having a relationship as this grandious thing. But it ended with all the "I love you's" being meaningless. It's odd, how one day someone is saying they love you and the next day they turn everything in your life upside down. You lose control of your emotions, and you question who you are.
It took her 10 minutes to break up with me. 10 minutes for someone to cut themselves out of my life forever.
So I guess I learned that one of the few things left in life that I romanticized is a total waste of time. Which is sad.
Ah well. Least I have some cheap whiskey to help me sleep.
>>25403915
>hurrr you aren't a grown man if you dont have a car
Maybe we don't all have shit handed to us, fag. I have to save up to buy a car.
>>25403393
>>Women are fickle, you cannot go soft on them.
What?
>>25404032
You cannot let your feelings out fully, you have to maintain self control and only be all mushy a portion at a time. You got to seem like you're at least in control of yourself at all times. When you go soft they think they don't like you any more.
I learned that self-improvement is nothing but chasing shadows.
What you inherit at birth is all that determines your worth. You must accept who you are fundamentally as a person before you can begin to remould.
>>25404021
me too im half way there, this month ill do my 3rd try and then ill sell my should to a dealer to pay half of a car

>>>25399297
so aggressive, would you like to talk about it?
>>25402408
I learned that the kind of friendship I've been yearning for is not something that even normies have.
There's no hope for me.
If I ever want to get better i have to really self exam my mind and thoughts, how it works, understand it, which is something really ugly and depressing
>Time changes everyone even those who you thought were immune to its affects
>the cock carousel is real and these hoes aint loyal
>drugs will fuck you up even the ones that are said to provide only benefits

That as much as I hate it, in a society and normiefied (not normalized, normiefied, people in the US from decades past were cool, normies as we know them are a sympton of our sick modern culture) you basically have to have social connections and be able to interact with these people and get them to like you. You cannot and will not get laid, get good opportunities, or even be able to find (truely good, non normie friends, they are out there) unless you can sift through the sea of normies.
You have to figure out how to interact with them without letting them know your not one of them.
Being in shape is mandatory.
Wearing "fashionable" clothes is mandatory.
Having a "fashionable" hair cut is mandatory.
You basically have to pretend to be a normie in public, you cannot be yourself and succeed in modern America.
I don't know if you have to maintain a fake online normie presence too or not, but I am looking into it.
I learned that alcohol and I aren't friends, and that I probably am a binge-alcoholic. I don't drink often, but nearly every time I have been drunk this year, I have blacked out and done something foolish. This new year's eve, I made a decision not to drink a drop of alcohol at all and I think I had a much better time because of it. It was a bit harder to handle my social anxiety and I had to compensate with cigarettes and cat pets (the house I was at had a cat!) but I am proud of myself for not even getting a buzz.

I read what happens to you when you commit suicide. Knowing about the consequences of killing yourself keeps me alive.
>>25404169
*in a society as normified
>>25404087
Thats literally the point of the whole self improvement family. Youre never done you should always be chasing something better and when you look back youll realize how far youve come.
Im really starting to see just how possible it is for me to be lonely until i die. Its really sad i feel like at 23 i should have a long term relationship where i should be thinking if shes the one or not but im not even close. Not a khvirgin though.
>>25403944
Fuck yea. Whiskey costs way less than a gf
>>25402408
Women are satan pretty much
>>25403665
Lol. Literally had nearly the same text conversation with my mom too.
>>25404179
The parent memorial texts on the suicide thread were haunting. I too learned that lesson brobot
>>25404179
What are the consequences?
- life is what you make of it
- everything in hindsight is predeterminded
- nothing matters
- just do it

Don't be afraid to go to fundamentals.
Also let me recommend 2 life hacks which have their effects
>cold showers
>nofap
Both are to instill discipline into yourself if you find yourself lacking in it.
First works as a discomfort you force yourself in, and get your brain used to discomfort.
The second one is only for the cases of pornography addiction, and everyone must diagnose and assess his situation in this regard.
If you don't have pornography addiction, nofap will not work for you as much, or not at all.
Cold showers are easy, just 5 minute cold shower every day will not hurt you. Aim for one month. If you are afraid of catching cold, you can warm yourself after the shower as much as you want. The purpose of cold shower is to flood your brain with signals of cold, without you getting actual hypothermia.
With the learning stuff. If you have a library nearby, get a card there, and grab your laptop or tablet, and study there. What often helps in concentration is to change the environment.

I was waiting for my plane and picked up some dumb book called "Mate". It was a self-help book about picking up chicks, essentially saying that what chicks want in a man is "effectiveness". If you can't be an effective person, i.e., make shit happen, then you're fucked. so if you're mushy or soft, they think you;re ineffective and dump you, maybe even hate you. it's fucked and so cruel, fuck women dude. Fuck. You can't actually show you're feelings in a sustained way; you have to, at best, do a fake display for 15 minutes that really only makes her feel better by letting her be the caretaker/mom and then you have to man up or get dumped.
dude. Fuck. I'm having a horrible epiphany moment that I don't want/wish weren't true.
>fuck women they're all greedy whores
As soon as you lose your muscles you disappear in women's eyes.
I was so fucking close to making it....
>>25402408
>Never lend money. Ever
>a woman will never love you the same way you love her
>if she treats you like an atm, use her as your sex toy, in the end she is just another cum dumpster
>dont trust women, specially female friends
>Never help anyone achieve shit, mind your own business, helping people will only get you angry
>dont trust chinese food

I know how that is too. I don't want people acting like they knew me after I'm gone. I don't have any friends and no one cares about me.
How do I kill myself in a way that people stop caring? Even 'gentle giants' have their advocates. I don't want my death being used for some farce. What's the best way to make everyone know I sincerely hate them, and it's not just my emotions. Do I have to murder my entire family before I kill myself? Won't criminologists think I was some kind of mother loving faggot? I suppose I need to leave something to make sure they know I was serious too.
>>25404355
There is a blessing underneath it all. While our naive dreams of love are shown to be lies we learn as a result, or rather stop valuing and obsessing over women and relationships.
It's is sickening how methodical you have to be with women if it is not your natural character, I wish it wasn't so but evolutionary impulses are a cunt. On the other hand now you don't delude yourself with the dream relationship, are more aware of your actions, are more in control of your emotions and desires since they were going towards a futile cause. Overall the men who take the 'black pill' or 'red pill' come out better as a result, and I'm talking about the ones that don't turn into mongoloid misogynists rambling about their bitter hatred towards women.
Just accept it, anon.
> I am not even close to as smart as I think I am
I'm an edgy autist. My schemes to get women to date me invariably end in sitcom-tier disaster. Learned from this that maybe I over complicate shit.
I also took /g/'s advice to install Gentoo and wound up not showering or leaving the house and barely sleeping or eating for 12 days trying to make it work.
I'm retarded.
> self-control is important
> people do not want you to be nice to them
Learned that one from having my niceness exploited at every turn and seeing women flock to abusive jackasses who treat them like shit. That and seeing the jackasses get what they want whenever they want it because they don't give a shit about what damage they do and people will just let them.
Being a nice guy is just rationalizing being a beta.
>>25402408
I will never find love or friends because no one will ever truly care about me.
So just stop trying.
