Why is life so fucking difficult fuck...

Neither are fanny packs. That guy probably dries up pussies like a fucking shamwow.

hello tumblr

you can use the fanny pack like an external dick pouch

...

>external dick pouch
As opposed to an internal one? Isn't that called a vagina?

Normies and chads definitely make it seem fucking easy. They must have discovered some secrets that the rest of us haven't.

worth a listen. He's a buddhist monk who used to be some crazy math doctor from Cambridge, but he gave it up to be a monk. Either way, he's really fucking smart and has a good perspective on life.

If he gave it all up to pray to some "god" then he can't be very smart innit?

Ah, they all have their problems and bull shit. You're just not involved in them, so you don't see it. There is something to be said about self-esteem, though. People with higher self-esteem deal with adversity in a more positive way.

You're never going to have the same problems as other people, and comparing yours to theirs is pointless. You can only deal with the things that happen either negatively or positively. It's up to you.

Gotta admire his persistence.

Same, can do any other flip variation but backflip.

I will learn one day.

Also everyone in this thread is forgetting how nothing hurts when you are 18 and below. I used to fall on my spine from 30 ft in the air onto ice snowboarding and shake it off and hit the next jump.

fucking terrible genetics and luck. like I'm talking several skin orders, awful teeth that I've spent thousands of dollars fixing, genetic leg problems that make me unable to run without pain, garbage fat distribution that forces me to work my ass off to stay shredded but shit muscle insertions so I still look bad, medically-confirmed low test. also not heterosexual.

Look man, I feel the same. I always realize things too late and it's like I'm constantly trying to catch up with the world. It's not just you.

I guess i could be normal looking but my nose is so big. I dont cry about it, i have accepted it and all that but i just cant believe that any girl could be attracted to me. Not sure if my real problem is physical or mental. Anyone else?

I had a crooked nose and insurance covered surgery for it because it affected my ability to breathe properly. After surgery I still feel the same. It's all in your head. If you're naturally an insecure person with low self-esteem you'll just find another part of your life to feel shitty about.

>god
>buddhism

kek. buddhism is more like self help with philosophy than a religion

I too wish life was more manageable.

i am depressed as fuck and think about ending it at least once a week. take a fucking number.

What's stopping you? I'm asking seriously.

I feel you OP. My severe depression and ADHD makes every day feel like a monumental struggle. It's hard just to do basic tasks that everybody else finds inconsequential.

The worst part is how hopeless it feels. Not a single treatment has helped my depression (and I've tried almost everything) or even makes it worse, and my ADHD meds have some nasty side effects and a nastier come down. I just want to give up.

How old and what point of your life are you in? Studying? Working?

Whenever life feels like complete fucking shit, remember that at least you aren't indian.

...

22. Was in uni but I'm dropping out until I can get my mental problems under control. Currently applying to work and seeking treatment help.

I'm Indian.

Their native is nonviolent. The poo in toilet as well.
Far as I've seen...pulling up the employee portal with super happy respectable indian man and woman deficate in restroom like american man make em happy friend goodbye.

hahahaha i'm a spic living in beanerland, and i literally think that everytime i feel like shit

>mfw not a poo in loo

There is an old saying that we use often in my country and it goes like this: life is a hand full of smiles and a bag full of tears.

My condolences

what country?

how do you say it in the original languaje?

>tfw I am poo in loo

I-is there still hope guys? Can I still make it?

Truly Euphoric

Buddhists don't worship any 'God'.

Ive had so much bad shit happen to me its not even funny, yet I still remain positive. Maybe its my kids? All I know is Im trying to get the motivation to get fit for a better life.

Kys loser

lads, if the zucc keeps putting sponsored posts about online counselling on my newsfeed, am i fucked in the head?

>sponsored posts about online counselling on my newsfeed
holy shit you got to be kidding

Pretty much this.

When you compare your life to someone else's, you are comparing your life to a fantasy. You don't know their struggles, their fuck ups, the things they hate doing every day. You only see the hiking pics and relationship statuses and promotions on social media. It's all a lie.

Source: Black Mirror s03e01

like, i might have mild depression and anxiety, but im far from anything really bad, so its a bit confusing really. i think the zucc is just omniscient

You're locked in a cycle of self alienating confirmation biases, self pity and ritual self degradation. Every day i walk past people who are a million times worse off than i am, and this gives me the humility i need to keep soldiering on. "Woe always me" outlook, cycling self pity around your mind. This is why you cant see other people's problems. Because you apriori assume yourself to be bottom of the barrel, your perceptions center around how much better everyone else is doing.

This is madness.

Look at this comic. Be that dude in the tub. Accept that life is tougher, and choose to be tougher.

Have you read any neitzsche, descartes or sartre?

no i mean the part about fb guessing you're depressive and tailoring ads for you based on it

yeah exactly, its weird, right. ive looked up stuff like depression symptoms a few times but it seems out of proportion. for a while it would be near the top of my newsfeed every time i logged on

Tfw you realize life is so difficult most people need to believe in a God, an afterlife, karma, that the world is just, that things will be alright later or resort to several addictions just to stand living.

>reducing religion to a coping mechanism
please leave

>implying it isn't
For what purpose

it has always been a coping mechanism

youtube.com/watch?v=P5_-pfqFGJI

its so much more, and im not even religious. its the foundation of a culture

if you actually indian no you cant

you guys stink and look bad

if you dont mind being a walking stereotype you can open a restaurant and kiss your white patrons feet and youll at least make lots of money

You can found a culture on bullshit. Doesn't mean the bullshit isn't bullshit.

>Why is life so fucking difficult
it isn't. unless you're afflicted by some awful disease or have had (or are having) traumatic experiences on the regular, life is generally not hard at all. are you able to wake up every morning? do you have a way to pay your bills while setting aside some for the time when you will no longer be able to work? do you have occasional free time to do things other than an occupation?

then your life is pretty good.

>Has anybody figured out how to overcome the constant struggle and endless barrage of disappointments

beats me, user. i've realized that most of the struggles and disappointments are trivial and minor and i don't blow them out of proportion too much. this year has been harder on me than most due to a large number of reasons, but difficult? nah.

But how? How do I boost?

so, who the fuck cares about the truth of a religion?

Do you read these things back to yourself before hitting Post?

If it's not real, then see my previous comment that it's make-believe as a coping mechanism. Fucksakes, why not just use actual literature rather than that mess of contradictions. You'll find much better writing and better morals.

I guess to justifiy a coping mechanism you need to believe it's not one and you're resorting to it for a number of "good" reasons

>better
reeks of artificiality 2bh

You literally just said "who cares if it's true"
Fuck I can't deal with you people sometimes

What do you mean "you people"?

Retards

yeah, because the truth or falsity of the claims made by religion are basically irrelevant to its continued importance

Are you honestly retarded?

Conflicting claims. Pls go

>why not just use actual literature rather than that mess of contradictions.

>he thinks intellect trumps the truth that resides in everyone
>he thinks people who passed on these religious stories are dumb as fuck
>he doesn't realize the parallels between religions exists not because of coincidence but because it is the truth
>he thinks you can know everything you about life just by using his dumb mind

I AM INTELLECTUALLUTALY BRO I READ A BOOK

Where did I mention intellect?

I said if you're going to read a bedtime story, read a good one.

this tho

the first step is deleting instagram and facebook.

well its not, the importance is that it has been foundational in western civilisation. im not christian because i dont believe the fall actually happened, but i know that belief in the fall was explicitly or implicitly the central predicate of all early modern thought, so christianity remains relevant and important, to give one example. also those claims were not contradictory.

if it's not a good story then why has it existed this long? you think every religious people are just dumb fucks, they're smarter than u 4 sure

Life is struggle. Swim or sink.

There's beauty in that spiritual truth, once you accept that while is -should- be easily awesome and perfect and and and, you're going to have to take a breath, keep your head up, your heart open, etc, and just fucking make yourself love every moment, good and bad.

(or you can whine and complain and have bad feels your entire life, which is the natural default)

bro...

Yes they are. He's saying stories aren't true and thus are not valid for the same purposes as religion and also that religion is not true but that doesn't count

Again, the fact that Christianity drove world events is irrelevant. People say elvis or the Beatles started rock and guess what? They both blow ass. If they didn't do it, someone else would have.

>If twilight wasn't a good story then why did it sell so many copies?
I am literally smarter than you and there is no argument you can make to convince anyone otherwise.

>he
bruh im the original user you were arguing with
its not irrelevant. the entire worldview of modern europe was determined by christianity, and comparing it to elvis is a gross trivialisation. read a book

i wasn't trying to convince you i'm just telling you you're dumb as fuck

READ BRO

>I WONT READ ANYTHING I DONT AGREE WITH BECAUSE IT MIGHT HURT MY FEELINGS

what separates you from sjw tumblr retards? exactly

wow i didn't know chuck palahniuk posted here

god, spirituality, altruism is what you make of life. if you can't be fucked, then that's your problem, not everyone else's.

You fucking dunce, I've read the bible.
See bottom section of Christ you people are slow.

>i said its irrelevant therefore it is
ok mate

the reformation's revival of the augustinian reading of the fall was *explicitly* made the basis of the scientific method and early modern political theory, and underpinned early modern philosophy with epistemology as philosophia prima. look at any of the writings of bacon, galileo, boyle, hooke, newton, etc, and its plain as day that without the reformation and without the fall the modern scientific method would not have been developed. and this is only one example, but if you cant grasp this then you could be clinically fedora

Count your blessings OP. I just got a text from some chick I bang raw that said shes just left the doctor to be test for Genital Herpes.

Quality over quantity fellas.

Nice historical fiction you got there. Should post on Veeky Forums

This I like saying Republicans like black people because Lincoln was one

It's irrelevant what happened centuries ago.

ive literally studied this stuff at oxford, read books and papers on it, discussed it with academics. what about you? see eg the fall of man and the foundation of science by harrison

>underestimating the fall
at your expense

>being indoctrinated
At your expense

im not religious, im just not a historically unaware pleb

I get the same feeling. I don't understand how people can be happy and hopeful for the future in this fucked up world. There is nothing of beauty in this world anymore.

kikebook does this a lot. iirc google tailors what results come up when you search stuff based on what sites you go on, at least they used to a few years back.

exercise, don't watch porn/wank all the time, leave your dwelling and force yourself into new situations
