I'm generally too paranoid to talk about this, even online it tends to go bad a lot. I noticed there are some trans people on Uboachan, however, and today I oddly feel comfortable bringing it up.

I have a whole life story, but I just want to start by saying a little bit. I take hormones but wear guys shirts most of the time. I used to dress up but I became a victim of violence from outsiders years ago. Now I am terrified of anyone knowing. I also don't think I can ever get a job, and even if I did I know I would regret it due to hundreds of people guessing what gender I am and possibly fucking with me. I can't go to school, if I let people see me I might get attacked again.

and thats something that takes a lot of inner bravery, as cheesy as it sounds. its in you, i think its in every person who feels isolated this way. being strong may seem impossible sometimes and thats ok, but its also important to be as tough as you can because no matter what, somebody is going to hate you.

as for names, mine is pretty fucked off too. my name is ivan, im 5'3" and get "sir" and "ma'am" in public lmao… i picked a name that youd normally associate with a big tough russian mobster, not someone like me, so i feel you.

I just had a very upsetting moment and I was wondering if anyone could commiserate.

There are some very peaceful and relaxing music channels on Youtube, and I felt like trying one out. I listened to this beautiful and calming piano solo for about five minutes while writing, and when the end came, the poem I was doing was nearly finished. It was just a calm reflection of the feeling of freedom, I guess.

The song ended and as I was moving to replay it, an unskippable commercial for The Purge came on. In an instant all the relaxation was torn apart by the graphic depictions of violence and horror in that silly commercial. It was sick and twisted, dystopic and disturbing, and I started to wonder if we need so much violence in our faces all of the time, no matter what we're doing. Is it wrong that pop culture focuses on extremeness so much? I don't advocate censorship at all, but it just seems a little…too intense?

1) Metropolis is one of my favorite movies
2) There is some truth to what you say. Mean World Syndrome suggests that those who are constantly subjected to TV believe the world is more dangerous that it "truly" is.

What I say though is that I feel as though I know how violent the world truly is. It's scary out there, man. Why would I not want to be safe?

I'm not ugly. I am actually quite slim, with a good height, and my face isn't horribly disfigured. I still complain a lot, but it could have been much worse, you know.

I'm sure I'll find somebody. Or not. What are the chances of successfully coming across a girl that is pure and cute with the same mindset as me? She'd probably have to be another shut-in, and the meeting would arise from a very peculiar coincidence or some sort. But I've heard from many places that it's very rare for a girl to be a virgin after high school. That's kind of discouraging, I suppose.

No matter what happens though, a silly little thing like this, just thinking about it, makes my life much easier to handle. Even if it ends up being nothing but a fantasy.

There are the lucky ones who just went for it and got in bed with another geek in high school. I guess what I am trying to say is that you shouldn't feel disheartened by the lack of virgins. High school is just an experiment. Being a virgin only matters if you are one.

Besides, this far into adulthood, you want someone at least a little experienced so that your first time isn't so embarrassing that you both stop talking to each other, your pride forever wounded.

What's up, /n/? Personally, I've always felt like I can relate with Madotsuki.

I'm a shut-in and I don't really have any friends. The only interaction I have with people is through large chat rooms, and even then I hardly speak up. I'm too scared to exchange contact info and get their skype/AIM/or whatever and speak to them personally.

Being in the same room as another person is physically painful for me. So it's hard to talk to people when I feel pins and needles all over my body when they're in the same room as I am.

I want to socialize and have friends, but I can't do it. I always feel invisible to other people, and just coming out to a random person and asking for their skype/etc just seems exorbitantly creepy.

I'm pretty sure I have avoidant personality disorder, but getting treatment for that actually requires, you know, going outside and seeing a therapist. Also money.

Am I fucked?

Maybe don't do this IRL. Do it with people online, where it's expected. There's always (extroverted) people dying of boredom desperate for contact giving away their numbers and skype names on chans and forums.
You could probably start a thread or group or whatever for shy/avoidant people. Don't be surprised or hurt when nobody has anything to say, even just leaving, say, a chat open so you or they can talk whenever has got to do some good.

I'm on the opposite side of the fence right now. I've been living as a hikikomori for over 2 years now, and even spiraled into a massive hole of psychosis for awhile. But the past ~4-5 months I've been improving, and am almost normal again. And soon I'm going to have to start a normal social lifestyle. But I don't want to.

By all logical means, I should be incredibly happy. I can talk to people, feel emotions, am not completely crazy, and can live a normal life. But I feel like my life before becoming a hikky was so long ago that it was literally an entire lifetime ago. Like it happened to someone else, and that I resumed a new life when I became a hikky. And for some reason I feel like I'm going to miss it. I feel sad when I think of leaving it all behind. I dunno; maybe I'm still crazy.

I sort of feel this way. I've gone back and forth between multi-year long cases of being hikki, than being social for a year or so, than reverting back.

The last time I went out was Christmas time and I had a massive meltdown. Although I physically can leave my house I have no reason to go in my garden because I have sever allergies and my property just isn't private enough for me to feel comfortable to sit no my porch. If eel like Im in the middle of the street. If someone passes by I get really awkward. There's too much noise and light. I live by myself. The most talking I do is with a friend on the phone at least once a daynd my paernts a few times a week. Which is actually a lot of time spent talking on the phone. I have a few friends on facebook or gchat but the internet chatting has lost meaning for me.

I used to go out 3x a week and I was getting professional help and I had a few other friends here, but the professional help was complete and utter garbage and they left when I was at my worst because I was fucking bed ridden. I've been agoraphobic for at least 2 years after that only going out of my house for christmas and maybe thanksgiving.

I used to go to doctor appointments but I gave up. I had a doctor appointment today. I want to cur emyself of this sinus infection so mya llergies go back ot normal. My only goal ist o get physically healthy so I dno't die but that is almost hopeless. last week something stressed me out and my immune system died and my sinus infection flared up I started passing out on the floor a lot…

"Government Spends More on Corporate Welfare Subsidies than Social Welfare Programs"
http://thinkbynumbers.org/government-spending/corporate-welfare/corporate-welfare-statistics-vs-social-welfare-statistics/

Companies pull in larger and larger profits each year, and the people running them make 500 times more than the average employee, but they still need the government to cut their taxes even more so they can "make more jobs".

By sending them to places like Bangladesh where wages are just pennies a day and work safety laws do not exist (or there's corruption out the ass) and then hundreds of them die in building collapses… which means there's a bunch of jobs to take!

Companies run rampant while the proletariat eats shit and dies. The rich get richer and fewer while the poor get even more destitute and numerous.

No.4318

At least during the Middle Ages there was pretty much always the precedent of a few rich, powerful people and countless poor; they didn't know it could be any different because it never had been.

The 1900s, however, saw the rise of a middle class and great strides in technology and civil rights that led many to believe that those utopian ideas for the future that had seemed like idle dreams were slowly but surely actually coming true.

We know what it was like when things were better because we were there, and we're slowly learning to face the reality that it will never be like that again.

Seconded on Crime and Punishment.
Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol, even though it's unfinished.
Moby-Dick and pretty much anything I've read by Herman Melville. Except for The Confidence-Man. That shit is crazy.
1984 by George Orwell, a cautionary tale that becomes more and more true every year.
I've really liked Gore Vidal's historical novels that I've read, especially Julian. Creation is good too, but it wanders around a whole lot (both literally and figuratively) and doesn't arrive much of anywhere. The history-obsessed dumbass in me loved it, though.
A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin. I'm not much for fantasy, but this series isn't all that fantasy aside from the dragons. A great series for people who like great characters.
