I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE, Veeky Forums
Please give me resources to overcoming this overwhelming existential crisis I'm experiencing. I just feel so alone in this world and any literature I read doesn't seem to help.

Don't even think about posting that stupid flowchart, I've been staring at it for hours.

Have some pasta instead:
People don't change. You can try to change, and you can pretend to be the person you wanted to change into, and in effect you will be no different than if you had changed, except that it will require constant unceasing effort on your behalf to maintain your pretensions, and the slightest lapse will send you sliding immediately back to who you were before. Someone who is "naturally" that person maintains their behaviour without effort - someone who changes into that person will never do anything more than pretend, and the pretension will be constant and demanding.
It's why anti-suicide activists kill themselves out of the blue 30 years after they "beat" it. They never beat it. It was hounding them for the entire time, and all they ever did was pretend. It's why fat people who lose weight get fat again. It's why criminals reoffend despite their best intentions. Plus, you have so little control over your upbringing that you have practically zero input into what your "natural" state is going to be. You might as well be born that way for all you can change it. In this sense, some people are simply born to be miserable. Some people are born broken and they will never be mended.
Not sure I understand. Are you telling me to kill myself?
Not saying I wouldn't, I'm just afraid of the prospect
...
Gee, thanks for the useless fucking flowchart again
>Do you crave meaning?
How am I supposed to know, I don't know what I crave. Am I supposed to crave meaning?
>I just feel so alone in this world
Probably that's because you are. You're the only being capable of true experiences. Everyone else is in effect a robot. Life is a joke, and it was invented only to disturb and humour you. There's no way out. When you die it will start again.
Realize you'll never stop feeling that way. If you've read Camus you'd know that. Once you experience that feeling you don't have to escape it, you have to learn to live in spite of it, because it won't go away.
>When you die it will start again
Shut the fuck up
What is causing this existential crisis?
A thought? A belief?
Something you've added to your persona?
They are imaginations and only exist in your own mind.
Why are you identifying with these thoughts?
They are nothing, just some clouds in the sky, they change nothing.
Realize that you were there before your thoughts.
You even recognize it in what you type.
>...this overwhelming existential crisis "I'm" experiencing.
Who is experiencing the existential crisis?
Your mind? Your body?
If they are yours, then they are not you.
So who are you? And who is really experiencing the existential crisis? Not you.
Don't listen to these pseuds op. The meaning of life is whatever prevents you from killing yourself. If that means sipping on mtn dew and playing cod or posting on a Tibetan tofu thread then go for it.
