Trans Mega Thread!

So, let's try something here.

Frequently a trans-related topic comes up in a thread here in /hikki/, and the thread will quickly get derailed by malicious comments or by the diversion in topic just taking over. There is clearly a lot of interest in discussing trans topics, as well as a lot of unwelcome interest in shutting them down. But they do tend to take over threads either way. So, while we figure out how to handle this from a moderation standpoint, I am going to make a trans discussion mega thread here to contain such conversations. This might end up being permanent. If you find that a thread makes you want to discuss a trans-related topic, make a post here instead.

Rules 6 and 7 are strictly enforced in this thread, and violations will result in longer bans. However, uncomfortable questions are also allowed within reason.

Also if a trans topic starts to derail a thread from now on we may delete those posts.

Also Sei is trans. So I might make some posts in here as well.

Update 11/04/2024: When the conversation in the trans thread veers into whether transness is even a thing that exists, that will be considered an attempt at derailment. This thread isn't for you. It is specifically a containment thread for people who want to talk about transness from the starting assumption that the topic itself and the kind of identity it discusses is valid. Please keep that in mind.

From now on, the >>>/rec/ board should generally be used for conversations about recovery from NEETism. This is not a hard rule but you are likely to have a better experience.

Seeing as absolutely everyone misread the /hikki/ rules sticky and used it to draw apocalyptic conclusions about the death of all that was good about /n/, here's a less flippant sticky with less room for ambiguity, in the form of a Q&A. We've also made some concessions based on your feedback in thread >>13, which was moved to /sugg/ for being meta.

What is allowed on this board? What is its purpose?
On this board you can discuss and request or give advice regarding NEETism, Hikikomoriism, anxieties and social or mental issues arising from these conditions of living, and things closely related to these topics. If you're content with being a NEET at this stage in your life, that's ok, and you won't get in trouble for saying so. The board's primary focus is self-help and advice regarding these issues. Despite rumors, threads looking for help with suicidal feelings or drug addition are also allowed.

What is not allowed on this board?
* Encouraging others to become NEET.
* Attacking or discouraging others for being NEET.
* Giving or requesting advice on how to enter the NEET lifestyle.
* Encouraging or showcasing drug usage.
* Announcing your planned suicide.
* Helping others to plan or commit suicide.
* Topics not related to the purpose of the board. Such topics will be moved.

https://youtu.be/NmuYQnQGCgI
also, the x60 arrived, as did the charger.
tommorow my ThinkCentre monitor will arrive so i can match the ThinkCentre mini-pc, full sized ThinkCentre PC and IBM+Lenovo ThinkPads.
next im either going to get another mini-pc or another x200 era ThinkPad.

it's funny, when i first made this thread i included a lot of stuff, some of which i don't even want now.
For instance, the steam deck now that i have a couple ThinkPads from both IBM to the IBM Lenovo transition era I'd rather use those instead.
don't want VR only, more video games or a better GPU.
And, i didn't include mini-pcs, of which i have 1 and have ordered another for a server i am crafting, only to realize im gonna need 1 or 2 more.
now im trying to figure out how i can put a GPU in this thing.

I missed out on everything as a kid. I was always left alone by my peers which fucked me up of any social skills in the long run. I still have trouble holding a conversation. Have you guys had any trouble as a kid? This extreme isolation happened from 3rd to 8th grade which was enough to cripple me possibly my whole life. Or what is left of it anyway. Nearly 6 years of my life consisted of going home from school and back. Every day. Never talk with anyone, not even with family. Just me and my thoughts from a young age

I don't want to be like those other anons who just vent out shit here, so I'll ask the question, have you guys went through something similar that had a damaging effect on you? I still feel bits of loneliness from it.

pic unrelated FLCL just makes me feel like shit

i've recently deleted my discord accoutn in an attempt to at least drastically cut back my social interaction and at most completely socially isolate myself because i feel like it's better than constantly begging people for attention and having public mental breakdowns. i know the methodology of my little self-experiment is incredibly stupid and my wording is probably strange too but i feel like eventually my biological urge to socialize will go away. any advice as to what i should do to fill the time?

There used to be a lot easier ways to find community online and everything was so distilled into sameness from memes, style of discussion, etc. Every community felt unique. There's not a whole lot we can do about it, but I agree that immersing yourself in hobbies is the best way to avoid the isolation feelings (something that I've been neglecting to do myself recently and just stressing myself worrying if I fit into online spaces instead of just not giving a fuck as if it matters). It's tiring because at this point, I feel both a call to isolation and a call to not be alone. Both conflicting at once. It's within in this state of mind I find myself wondering just how much online really effects my mind, and if I should just take a break/hiatus from things again.

is anyone else here beginning to develop something to the effect of paranoia and delusions after prolonged social isolation? i've been completely alone for over a year now, and even when i was younger i was a social outcast. lately i've begun to have these episodes where i compulsively worry/catastrophize about things like people stalking me, this weird internet conspiracy where people are stalking me and recording everything i do, something to the truman delusion. on top of this i've begun to notice that objects in my room are telepathically communicating with me; it's not like "hearing voices" as the voices are very obviously in my head in the same space as like an internal monolouge, they aren't "diegetic" really, i can tell that they aren't real and are just hallucinations, but it defintiely isn't normal.

is it possible for loneliness and prolonged social isolation to cause psychotic symptoms? am i losing my mind?

something to note in the case of comorbidity; i am diagnosed with major depressive disorder and my psychiatrist seems to believe and wants to investigate the possibility of borderline personality disorder, which may partially be related to my social isolation and why i'm in this situation in the first place. I apologize if this thread comes off as strange or weird question.

Reading this was just like looking myself in the mirror. I started to feel paranoid and this over-self awareness about many things; especially if I need to do things outside. Feeling this sensation of being watched or recorded for no rational reason. I even talk alone so much, to the point that I think the objects around me are listening and having their own opinion. Social isolation in his overdrive I suppose.

>is it possible for loneliness and prolonged social isolation to cause psychotic symptoms? am i losing my mind?
yes to both, humans are inherently social creatures despite our attempts to tell ourselves otherwise. If you have a friend you can confide in, I would suggest talking to them at least a little bit (it could be about anything, even an online friend could suffice). I'd also suggest maybe going for a walk outside or changing your surrounding for a bit so you aren't caught up in the subtle monotony that can drive yourself insane when isolate. Even something as simple as cleaning your room or changing the curtains can go a long way.

As for the feeling of being stalked, I've been there and the best thing you can do is to repeat to yourself "its not true" and reminder yourself that you are but one person in a sea of a billion of people. While it may be true that some data firm is collecting your voting records, nobody truly cares to constantly record and track you. If that were the case, many petty criminals especially cyber criminals would be caught by now, there would constantly be a social worker at your doorstep at any given time, and society would have cameras watching us in the home (and no amazon and google products people willing put in their homes doesn't count, i'm talking legit gov Orwellian shit). The truth of the matter is that not only is that shit massively expensive and impractical for a gov (I've worked in gov, I know trust me) but its also a violation of privacy laws (which despite gov repeatedly trying to break with shit like the Patriot act and Prism, it always comes back to bite them in the ass and still many things slip under the radar because of the impracticality of it all). You aren't being watched, except for cookies on sites designed to advertise you useless shit and chances are you already most of that blocked with browser extensions. Just don't go on shady sites and align with shady people and you should be good.

It might be worth it to tell your psychiatrist about these delusions. At worst you could be schizophrenic, at best you could just be very autistic. I'm not a therapist or a psych medicine person though, I'm just an anon with too much free time.

As an incel I will soon be 30 years old, I am tired of waiting and struggling, no woman will come into my life, and deep down I know it. It would be better to focus on me, my health, my hobbies and my personal growth. Sometimes life is like that, you have to be strong and conscious, but you are still alive and you can still enjoy things.
A cybernetic hug.
