>mfw I'm slowly becoming a normie
>mfw I wasn't prepared
please tell me I'm not the only one feeling this feel
I'm conflicted because I used to be a robot for far too long and suddenly I'm doing all the things a grown up is supposed to do
being yourself is not enough
i can relate to this sentiment
I can understand this, I finally got a job and went out with friends and all for a while... I was feeling alienated from myself. I was depersonnalized. This just isn't me. Back to being a worthless NEET
same here senpai, basically happened over the last 2 years (starting uni)
>tfw just not caring about things i would drive myself crazy with

Don't get attached to your old identity, which is nothing more than your mind's perception of who you are. Change is essential if you want to survive in the world. People have to change who they are all the time.
Your identity is like a pair of shoes. Your old shoes are probably feel comfy, but the soles are falling off, and they smell like shit. The new pair may give your feet cramps, but you'll break them in soon enough. Pick a good pair.
You aren't your ego, so don't try to protect it.

You're upset? ESCAPE WHILE YOU CAN!!! QUICK!!!

Yeah, this is bullshit. Your brain is pretty much set cement by 25 and anything after that is band-aids and wacky glue.
Ask anyone who has gone to a high school reunion. Everyone is the same.

If you can become a normie, you were never actually a robot.
>>29619802
Or you're just a loser that was never a robot but something much much worse.

Failed normie back on the bandwagon for a short while.

Sometimes I want to think like this, but I remember this thinking takes roots in hope and hope has always proven itself being nothing more than fantasy. So I'm still hesitant to try u know? Don't want to get hurt again

Robots are just failed normies. That doesn't mean they can't achieve normiedom, which is the ultimate goal of every true robot. Wizardry is the rejection of that which is normal.

go for it man. I'm the the same road.... And the other side looks like it has more grass, more life. Theres light over there man. I cant see to far, but its better, I can tell... l
I'll see you on the other side man
OP went out with co workers to a bar and stood autistically silent and just laughing at jokes for 2 hours while drinking the same beer

There's a reason that failed normies are specified as distinct from robots. A failed normie is someone who posts >tfw no gf
because they've gone a year or so without a relationship. In contrast to this, a robot posts >tfw no gf because autistic
or other similar, legitimate reasons.
A normie is the intended evolution of a failed normie, while wizardry is the result of extended periods of being a robot. If what you're saying is true, the following can happen:
Normie > Failed Normie/Robot > Wizard
This is false. A true normie has the chance of becoming a wizard as a failed normie does, which is to say absolutely none at all. By this same token, a wizard and a robot have no chance of becoming a normie.
Normies and Robots exist on completely different paths, with no chance of evolving into their counterpoint. This is the foundation of /r9k/: the societal division between the fortunate and misfortunate.
