A girl just sent me this after I asked how she was so positive even when she's unhappy
Welll guys, is she right? Is this the secret to happiness?
>>26691255
it sounds like she's saying self-delusion is the key to the lens of optimism, and i don't disagree
whether fantasy beats reality is debatable
Saying be happy is literally just as bad as saying be yourself. Tell that cunt to kill herself.
>>26691255
OP here, trips decides what I say back
>Focus on the good things
Nothing good about life
Yes.
That's how I got out of my depression, partly. And when I get anxious or slip back I do what she says.
Most of you will ignore it and call her a normie roastie know nothing cunt, but i know it's not true.
And i know some of you will see it one day.
It's not for everyone.
>>26691316
The thing is, she says her life is hard. She's literally a 9/10 easy and could get anything she wants for the rest of her life based on looks alone. I just don't understand how she can delude herself into thinking life is ever hard. Idc if her dad cheated on her mom, she's got it easy as fuck
>>26691255
>generic normie advice
>>26691291
She's saying, be delusional. It's actually quite brilliant, we all know escapism via anime and vidya isn't guaranteed success when the goal is happiness/satisfaction being delusional/believing a lie is the way to go.
If people treat you like shit because you're ugly, it's because they're jealous of you, you're beautiful no matter what anyone says, all that retarded shit you're saying seems retarded to the masses because they're too dumb to comprehend you. If you believe things like that your life will be a lot easier.
Being honest with yourself is painful and can be crippling, to avoid being crippled or in pain become delusional.
Classic normie response to depression I'm getting upset just reading that shit
>>26691361
>tfw can't become delusional
>so honest with myself that I'm NEVER happy
written like someone who has never really experienced any real pain or trauma
the hardest thing she's probably had to deal with is her pet dog dying
>>26691342
I mean, it IS a normie as fuck thing to say.
Literally every girl will say the same fucking shit. My own sister's said it to some of her friends and my dad's been spoiling her for 20 years. Fucking cunts get everything.
But it's not a bad route for someone to try and take to get better.
>>26691391
This
I'd like to see her say all that after being constantly abused, or being treated like waste by the one person you really care about
>>26691414
if you want to continuously delude and lie to yourself for the rest of your life, go for it.
some people skip all that and just deal with it, others delude and lie and end up having everything implode and have a mid life crisis
>>26691255
The reason all of you are so fucking unhappy all the time is because you literally think that it is impossible to be happy. Its like you think all happy people are retarded or something. This chick is obviously just saying some nice phony shit to make OP feel encouraged to be happier, but honestly what shes saying is not entirely wrong. Plus most of you faggots are just "depressed" because you cant get a fucking gf or some shit.
you're all fucking pathetic
>>26691473
What about if I'm unhappy because I feel my life has no purpose and I will never live up to anyone's expectations of me. I'm so exhausted by life and social interactions that I fantasize about getting cancer every day. Should I still walk about pretending to be happy and telling myself that everything is great?
>>26691473
youn really need to lurk more
tfw no gf is a byproduct of robotness and most real robots realize a gf isn't going to help
The girl in OP's image is talking about how difficult it is to choose between chad#1 and chad#2 things of that sort, although obnoxious as they might seem to someone, they are in actuality difficult things to do, especially when you gotta calculate for how long you're going to be with one chad to attain the maximum amount of gain before you jump to the next chad.
>>26691473
I can't even cry without drinking
Fuck you
>>26691473
No one here is talking about gfs anon, you're in the wrong thread.
>>26691510
OP here, the worst things that have happened to her are her faggot dad cheated and her sister got a divorce. Also she has to wait a year to serve an LDS mission because she fooled around with a guy. That's literally it. She's 9/10 and has an easy as fuck life. I fucking hate her but I'm in love with her should I call her a cunt?
>>26691504
Nah m8, u should get high then you'll actually be happy for a bit
>pessimism is sooooooo much harder!
>optimism is harder
bitch is stupid as shit, that's why she's always happy
>>26691536
I've never done drugs or alcohol. Even if that helped I'd be so disappointed in myself I think suicide would come quicker. Fuck anything that masks the pain. That's what normie scum do, they pretend it isn't there or hide it by getting high/wasted all the time.
its just straight up bullshit by an empty headed cumrag
im not even upset, its just all blablabla, words but no meaning
>>26691546
Pessimism makes things harder (but its easier to do)
Optimism makes things easier( but it's harder to do
How autistic do you have to be to not get that?
Please keep in mind that the average woman's life is probably 10 times as easy as yours. Literally, worse case scenario, she finds a nerdy beta who will support her for the rest of her life. Best case scenario, she starts an instagram/patreon/twitter and beta losers pay all her bills for her, while she fucks countless chads. Women's lives are easy as fuck, how dare she try to tell someone who will actually have to work at life how to feel about it. Fuck her
>>26691546
>Shit reading comprehension
She means being a negative little faggot makes your life harder overall, and for some people being happy is the hardest thing they could ever try to achieve.
>>26691533
you're an idiot for being in love with a vapid shit head
stop thinking with your dick for one second and read what you just wrote again
>pray
Stopped reading there.
>>26691546
You're absolutely right about this. i mean, just take a look at this fellow over here >>26691536
He's literally telling a guy to go in a drug induced state of retardation so that he can be capable of feeling happiness.
>>26691581
Also, she's probably 18, never had to work or support herself, and has had guys around her whole life to do whatever she asks. Jesus Christ women are the absolute worst
>>26691591
She's a stupid bitch with no substance. We dated for a while, broke up and she's with Chad now. I don't ever contact her anymore but she texted me today. Honestly, I'm better off without her manipulating me. Be real, should I tell her to never contact me again?
>>26691610
Op here, all completely accurate. Not trolling, she's had times where she's had 4 dates in one week or some shit. Her life is smooth sailing.
>>26691612
don't tell her anything, just block her or don't respond
women love drama and attention and if you tell her off or act in any way mean to her she will flip out and you'll get in some type of argument. don't do that. ignore her.
>>26691533
>I'm in love with her should I call her a cunt?
/r9k/ in one sentence fragment.
>>26691641
Women are scum, they should be treated as such
>>26691635
I'll continue not responding. One day I'm gonna flip out.. I know it. I just want to make her cry and realize that the one guy who was always there for her isn't anymore >:)
>>26691471
It's not about delusion you fucking idiot.
You're the only deluded one here.
Nobody is saying the bad will magically fucking poof into oblivion by ignoring them.
But it's easier to deal with when you also think about the good things and not just your self diagnosed first world problems.
It doesn't even have to be in your own life, you probably won't see it anyway, but there IS good in the world and it makes dealing with all this bullshit a hell of a lot easier, and that includes your stupidity.
This is a way to deal with it. Don't discount it because you're too far up your own ass.
>>26691684
great advice, I will use it to become as enlightened and transcendental as you
>>26691684
It is delusion. I see good in the world. Video games, movies, books, music are all great. I love my family.
I love lifting and playing guitar. Being optimistic about this shit doesn't matter if I lay in bed at night and wish I was dead.
The only way her advice works is if you're actually happy but you're having a bad day/week and need to get out of a slump. Pretending the good matter when you hate life is delusional.
>>26691684
>But it's easier to deal with when you also think about the good things
What if he's had nothing good going for him in his life?
>It doesn't even have to be in your own life, you probably won't see it anyway, but there IS good in the world and it makes dealing with all this bullshit a hell of a lot easier
You're telling me that even if your life were a shit and would always be that, you're going to feel good about it because some fucker on youtube gave a homeless cunt a sandwich so that he could look like a decent human being to his audience of retards.
You're delusional, "maybe i'll get a sandwich too if i just keep working believing." That's literally what you're saying.
Depression is a meme illness in the truest sense of the word.
If depression is real, and it really is a chemical imbalance, then why is it on the rise?
Why was it completely unheard of 100 years ago?
Depression is just stunted adults who never learned to get their emotions under control.
Too many fucking kids on here who live at home with their parents, don't have a 9-5, haven't lived their lives and they think they can be "depressed". Fuck off.
And it would make me so angry if it wasn't for the fucking media, and schools, and 50 obnoxious fucking buzzfeed articles thrown in my face everyday about how I'm a piece of shit for not being "sensitive" or "understanding" towards depressed people.
"10 things you shouldn't say to depressed people"
How is this for number 1. Stop being annoying, liberal, limpwristed, special snowflake faggots and either get a job or get out of my face.
>>26691791
>Thinks having a job is somehow going to make 99% of the people here any happier.
I don't think I suffer from any mental illness but I'm suicidal as fuck. You sound like a regarded wagecuck.
>>26691791
you sound like a 60 year old
what you are describing is normie depression, it's basically a trendy fad for normies at this point to have a mental illness
>>26691255
One must imagine Sisyphus happyAnother anon said this before so I need to add this shit so I don't get muted
>>26691834
imagining sisyphus happy is basically a philosophical version of cuckoldry
>>26691834
What the fuck does this mean desu senpai
>fuck her for being happy, she doesn't understand true depression like me
that's why you're still depressed, you literally hate the concept of being happy
>normie doesn't understand
>normie responds as if she does
Not a rare occurrence.
>>26691883
All I'm saying is she doesn't have the right to give this cunt-tarded advice. Idc if she's happy, but she's like every other roastie cunt who tells people to be happy no matter what.
>>26691829
Yeah, that guy's pretty fucking stupid. Having a job was miserable, i wonder what makes people like him think jobs make people happy.
Literally everyone that has a job hates it, they all hate waking up in the morning and the moment something difficult happens at work, they get pissed off.
No one takes breaks from doing things that they love, i never take a break watching anime, do you?
Nobody likes working, i get the feeling those people just want everyone to be as miserable as them. It would explain why this guy's so angry, he's fucking miserable and repressing it. He's a brainwashed idiot. I don't know if i should feel sorry for the guy or if i should be angry at these entitled brainwashed jackasses.
This honestly makes me think women cannot feel empathy. She thinks her coping techniques automatically apply to everyone. I don't think women could ever understand or imagine how it feels to be a robot. Their brains won't allow it. Am I right or are they just fucking stupid by choice?

A tale of eternal struggle.
>>26691830
Fuck this generation. It's one big race to the bottom. Everyone needs an "identity", and they use the dumbest things in the world like mental illness to find one.
It's like the millenial olympics "I have major depression and autism. No one understands me", "You have it too good. I have monopolar and I'm homeless. I'm the most depressed. I'm the specialest snowflake", "You guys will never understand what it's like to have discombulatory menopoline disorder AND be an unemployed drag queen, I'm the most depressed and you're just posers"
People who go around telling everyone they have depression are just obnoxious. It isn't a problem that needs fixing for them. It's a fucking identity
Too lethargic to get a job, but not enough to stop them from making a tumblr and going ballistic online.
>>26691291
Both of those are legitimate tips, you just have to have either an existential crises or have someone slap the shit out of you and put you in your place to put it to use. Also delusions are a great way to give you the mental willpower to come out of depression, though you can fuck up and be consumed by your delusions if you let it swallow your life.
>>26691964
Holy fuck I want to die more now
>>26691977
You're barking up the wrong tree m8. This here's r9k and we don't take kindly to your kind here.
>>26691953
most normies and especially women refuse to acknowledge hard truths, they've lived such easy lives that they just can't understand how someone can possibly become pessimistic, they just haven't had a life where negative reinforcement has completely changed their perception. it's basically like asking a depressed person to be happy.
the other normies get pissed off because it shatters their delusions
>>26691944
Yeah, I'm the one who is brainwashed.
Not you. Constantly connected to the mass media machine. Consuming pornography and movies and news all day. Constantly bombarded with messages like "hard work is bad", "family is bad", "hedonism is good", "society owes you".
Yeah, whatever matey. You're not the one who is brainwashed. You're not the one who is killing western society.
Clearly it's me.
>>26691977
Preach onegaishimasu
Easy if by hard life you mean you got a bad grade on your test, missed the bus and chipped a nail.
Not so easy if by hard life, you mean miserable depression where I stay in bed for days at a time. I don't want to leave, don't want to go to work, don't want to talk to anyone.
it's hard to create happiness from nothing, but she is right about shitty attitudes making things harder
She's right, there is good in the world. Just not for people like us.
>>26692012
You're in the wrong forest, friendo.
4chan as a whole in mainly conservative and right-leaning. We're hate your millenial bitching and whining. Take you self-pitying degenerate lifestyle to reddit or tumblr.
>>26692070
I'm the opposite of degenerate. I work hard, don't tolerate leftist propaganda bullshit, and have extremely strong morality and nationalism. I still feel for the robots. I feel so disconnected from those around me that I'd rather stay inside being a pseudo-neet when I'm not at work. You're just being a bit cuntish. It's not as easy for some.
>>26692034
Having your positive attitude continually dashed to bits by those around you is worse in the end than just being negative. Eiher way it doesn't matter, some of us aren't meant to make it.
>>26692108
I just keep myself going by enjoying the small things like tasty food and pointless media.
>>26692135
Same senpai. Just don't know how long it's sustainable.

If society doesn't owe you anything why would you work so hard for it anon? You're literally getting nothing but shit, all your hard work will earn you nothing. You're being hit and apologizing to the attacker, that's what it is to have a 9-5.
You're brainwashed to get a steaming shit on a plate and ask for seconds.
Are you a fetishist?
Why not consume and give nothing back? what's so wrong with watching the physical manifest of other's hard work and appreciating it, but not giving to the society that "doesn't owe you anything"
>>26692095
>It's not as easy for some.
It's not easy for anyone.
Everyone needs to overcome a hardship of some sort. They need to learn how to develop skills to overcome them.
The only difference between people is that some learn those skills while others don't.
You say you don't like 'leftist propaganda', but the actual dictionary definition of leftism is a set of beliefs that claim people are different, individual effort doesn't matter, hard work gets you no where. That people who are happy or rich are only that way because of the nebulous concept of 'privilege'. Operating on this, the leftists believe society needs to bend over backwards to accommodate these people.
The right believe that everyone is capable of creating good lives for themselves. The individual is worth something and everyone should work to be self sufficient.
It feels like this generation took a violent swing to the left, and now everyone is acting like a little bitch. Getting angry at people who are happy or successful and finding solidarity in failure.
>>26692161
Suckling at the teats of the state, and you still think you are 'free'?
I work to get money and be self-sufficient.
With that, I can create the life I want. I will be much more free than you at the end of the day.
The thing that makes it hard for me to be happy is the yearning chasm that exists where I used to think there was purpose in the world. Back when I was a kid, there were walls everywhere; I couldn't go there, I couldn't have that, school and occasionally friends' houses were 90% of where I spent my time outside the home.
But now I'm an adult, and I can do what I want and go where I want. And you know what? 90% of my time spent outside the home is at friends' houses (or rather, these days, the one friend I have coming over to mine, so I guess it doesn't count after all) and university, which is just school where no one knows who you are (so for many of us, school as it was).
There was a horrible realisation I came to at some point where all the things I imagined existed in the world when I was a kid, but I wasn't old enough for them yet, don't fucking exist. This is all there is. In fifty years I'm STILL going to be doing EXACTLY the same fucking things I do today, and there's nothing that can possibly change that, because the world is fucking tiny.
It's a LITTLE liberating since it means I can waste my life on video games and know I'm not actually missing anything, but it's mainly terrifying and completely emptied my soul out into a void. This is all there is. I don't despise it, but I don't like it at all. But it's all there is.
>>26691255
Leave /r9k/, that's not the secret of happiness but you'll be happier. You're only hurting yourself here.
