I don't know why, but this faggot post has been bothering me these past couple of days. Hate to hear that one of my fellow goats feels down.

Typical advice against depression

• vitamin D
• exercise
• going into nature
• human contact (as OP acknowledges)

My less typical advice

• Invest in a bespoke shirt and slacks, and maybe even shoes. Then do the same lame thing that you're doing for human contact - going shopping - but do it in some expensive threads custom made for your body. People will probably treat you just a little bit better, and it'll feel cool.

Good luck, faggot.

I took up fishing. I chat with other people fishing, usually very nice people.

Go to church.

I'm lucky that my redpilling coincided with my starting a family. I think it'd be hard without them.

To be honest, become a regular at a local bar and get to know the people. At the very least, you'll have people to talk to whenever you need it. You don't have to drink a whole lot, just sip. Plenty of people like you do this.

Also get a dog.

I have met a bunch of people by taking up shooting and training. The dog + dog park and hiking is a good idea as well.

You should sit down and think long and hard about what hobbies you like. Then you should see what you can afford money and time wise. Then start doing it. If you chose to join clubs related to those hobbies, you will be able to meet people there. One thing i would recommend right of the bat is hiking/camping/hanging outdoors. The great outdoors cleanse the soul. It costs little in gear, but lots in time tho.

But in general, people actually have little friends. Turbo normalfags might have a bunch, but its mostly fake. They call them friends, but they are mostly just drinking buddies that talk shit behind each others backs all the time. A man is lucky if he ends up with 2 real friends in his life.

As for women.....you are going to have to go through the pain of learning cold approach. I mean you can do online dating, but its probably full of vapid used up cum bags. I would suggest a youtube channel RSDtyler. Pay no attention to his desire to fuck everybody, but only his weapons. Use them for your own purposes of obtaining wife material.

When out, a bit of booze can take the edge off, just make sure you don't like it too much to find your self drunk on a Tuesday at 5 afternoon.

Beyond that, see if you can use voat at work to socialize here without wasting your free time. Fuck the ethic, you are probably underpaid anyway. When here, don't wast time on the political echo chamber. We know everything, government is the enemy, gas jews and nigs and cucks. The end. Instead, hang out with the shitposters and talk about your interest. You can visit 4chan also, just dont waste time on the porn there and serious political discussion.

Oh and yeah, try the 3 month nofap challenge.

We all are facing your dilemma. Our lives appear meaninglessness because that's what the clowns and Hollywood want. They all want us gone,,,. But here's a note, find love, have kids and love and live even more. Turn off consumerism and the negative TV.

YOU MATTER. WE ALL DO. I lost somebody close today, just a middle aged white make to some, but the kindest, funniest, most loving handsome patriotic man in the world. Godspeed and God Help Us All.

every word of that

Hey, stop posting. People are seriously going to think you're my alt.

Make it real, bro.

Sounds like you're suffering from the autism that infects places like this, and now you think you're too good for everybody else. I do the same thing as you, but I make an effort to be very social and talk to everybody at the places I go. You can meet really good guys/girls at the gym for instance.

You don't need to go out to bars or whatever bullchit in order to meet people.

my best recommendation would be to try and start on a personal project like writing (been trying to do myself on and off for a good number of years now), get some friends at a place that has activities like a bowling alley, or a shooting range, or a fishing club. don't forget your values, but don't let your anger eat away at you every moment of your life, go out there and do things that show that there's still value left in this world, and thus still hope.

I hear ya.

I was lucky enough to find and snag a wonderful woman pre-2005 so I never had to deal with the degenerate dating shit going on today. Suggestions on meeting people? Take a class at a local community college that would not normally be filled with idiots, like gardening or something that can be handy to learn. Snag an academic partner and meet some friends too.

Try a hobby that can involve other people but doesn't focus on socializing, like hiking or rowing or mountain biking. You can be the quiet one in the group if you want. Over time you might meet some folks you actually like.

I say this as a person who is in your shoes. The only real interaction I get is at work with people I really don't care about. I do everything else by myself which I've sort of made peace with.

That's the best free advice I have brother. Good luck.

This is why men start families. Start reading KJV and form a relationship with Christ. He's my only friend and I'm okay with that.

This is a great place to start watch this video

It seems counter-intuitive, but maybe try feeding some poor/old people, without any expectation of reward. Meals on Wheels, for example. It may end up being a life changing thing for you. It's like swallowing your first pussy fart - you don't know what it's like until you experience it.

Get a gym buddy. Find somebody at the gym with a similar workout schedule and join forces. It’s a good first step. Come lift with me if you’re near by, anybody who wants it is welcome.

You'll probably always want to be around other people sometimes. Humans are social animals and part of your needs like sleep and oxygen is also the need for companions.

I'm not sure why you are struggling so much though. Meeting people seems kind of easy to me. For instance I recently took up shooting as a hobby. Bought myself a rifle and got familiar with my local range. I've met a couple cool guys there that I can talk to about gun stuff and I even went fishing with one of those dudes. I also go fishing with one of my former neighbors sometimes.

You don't have to be the life of the party to have a couple of friends. Also it's not fucking gay to be male and to have male friends. It's not weird. Being accepted in the company of other men is a positive thing and you need it in your life in some form or another.

Just find something you like to do that other men are doing and then join in. You'll make friends.

Also one more thing your gonna need to do if you want to have friends. You have kind of a stick up your ass. You take yourself and everything very seriously all the time and that is in direct opposition to having fun. You need to let loose a little bit man.

One more thing.

Should I even make a friend by some miracle, I can't help but think that my lack of social connections would seem very alarming and my lack of social practice would make me seem much too weird.

This is what I meant by you need to get over yourself. Nobody is really going to even know that you don't have other friends or anything like that. And if they did you can just explain your mostly a loner but you realized that's no good and you want to have some friends. I doubt there is any dude in the world who couldn't relate to that. Deep down most men want to be loners but in reality it is teamwork and comradeship that makes life worth living.

intoxication is the trading of power for the illusion of power

Brilliant.

Cocaine and hookers twice a month, shake things up.

Play a game. Here is one: take 4 shots of nyquil and 2 shots of laxatives and if you fall asleep before you shit yourself you win.

Have you ever heard of ass pennies? This is a fine hobby for men.

Throw your trash away in clear plastic bags and you can strike up conversations with the Mexicans that stop by window shopping.

Bunny punting. Rabbits are easy to grow and you can set a punting course up at home cheaper than you may think! Just a tape measure and some outdoor marking paint and you are well on your way to your new, exciting hobby. Ears out on the tip off!

Collect mail order brides and have them fight for food. Winner gets extra attention at bath time.

Bicycles, but with big sticks.

Bacon.

Good luck bro.

I was like you once.

Then I stopped walking around malls because I realized that I don't like people that much.

You'll never be very happy, you're not cut out for it, probably a little too smart.

Never fret, embrace hatred. Start training at an MMA gym, do some shooting, lift some weights.

You won't have much time left over, you can talk to people at the gym when you're punching them. lol

There is nothing more attractive than a young lonely man wandering around like a lost sheep. Joke aside and with respect, I think there is something you need more than social connections. You say "intoxication is the trading of power for the illusion of power", that is also true for our thoughts - looks you are smart, think about it. Who you are, what You *really *want.. that is a hole purpose of feeling lonely, to solve this, and get rid of intoxicating thoughts that not truly belongs to your soul. I would recommend to you Jerry Marzinsky, now he has experience with extreme, but it all applies for all of us to some degree.

Start ministering to others. Volunteer. You’ll find there are many people who need you and you’ll be surprised at the friendships you can make in volunteering. It can be anything, just pick something you think you’d like. Volunteer at the library, the soup kitchen, habitat for humanity, local land trust group, the dog pound, causes you support (there are usually local groups), etc.

Even better than this, start church searching. Find the conservative/traditional churches in your area and start visiting around. Don’t bother with the liberal ones who barely follow the Bible, you want something real for it to stick. A good church family should make you feel welcome like family and teach in line with the Bible.

If you dislike human interaction but yet are feeling lonely you need to get a dog. Just a suggestion that if you work 8 hours a day and your canine is going to be home alone for that time you should get two dogs, so that they can keep each other company while you're gone for 40+ hours a week.

I could have written this...*sigh.

Church. Civic social organizations like the Elks or Moose. Church.

While midnightblue1335 comment is very good, i would add that you should learn some new trades/skills. Join some workshops or something. Real workshops, where you build stuff, not the "drink tea and let's bash some other identity" gatherings.

There is a lot of good advice in this thread. I'd just like to add: quality over quantity.

True friendships take time and energy, 1 or 2 good friends are infinitely better than 10-20 aquaintences.

A good way to filter is to always be honest, don't hide who you are to make friends. [ but do have common courtesy and be polite ]

I'm not trying to be sarcastic or funny when I say you fit the profile of someobe with aspergers. I recommend finding a Dungeons and Dragons group.

If you like working out join a group gym like CrossFit or something similar. You’ll make friends through that and meet fit women. Pick up your book and read at a local coffee shop. If you do it long enough, you’ll meet people there too.

Im kind of in a similar situation now. I started dating my ex wife when I was 20. I gave up pretty much all of my friends over the years to spend all my time with my ex, and spent my time with her friends and family. I put all my time and energy into her. She left me a few months ago now. I have some coworkers I consider friends but I still feel completely isolated now. My 2 year old son is my best friend. My point is, I guess, even now while your totally alone and if you meet a girl, don’t make her your entire life. You still need your own friends and life too. Don’t put all your eggs in one whores basket no matter how alone you feel. You’ll almost certainly get fucked over

BIG TIP! There are a ton of hobbies and activities that involve clubs. Where people very similar if not very much like you are just looking for something to do socially. These activities are very often very sober productive hobbies. There are beekeeping clubs, there are chess clubs, etc... You have to dig dig dig... figure out where they would post... maybe you have to drive an hour away from where you live to meet up there. Maybe it's just a regular weekly activity or monthly activity in your neighborhood. You might be inclined to find something in another neighborhood. I know where you have been. You don't have to fit in. There are many locked into society because the loneliness is just too much. They want to meet someone like you. People like us isolate in this kind of culture. When you find the courage and the drive to go find others you will find them and be rewarded.

What you describe is one of the sacrifices made by those who consume red pills. It's hard to find a balance that allows you to hang out with others who haven't swallowed as many red pills ...

Are you an atheist?

Yes, you sound like you grew up in a cult, left and want to be no part of this world. I am exactly the person you describe 20 years ago. I wanted to marry a girl. Girls considered me a looser. Single parent, in a cult, no skills no money. Got a good job, married outside the U.S. Have children, teach them about feminist, jews, Hitler, bankrupted morals, immigration. Left social media 5 years ago. Never been in debt. No credit history. Watch my relatives suffer from debt, greed, ex classmates as well. I feel ok. Your goal is to support yourself and your life style. Never get comfortable or out of shape. The only thing that saved me was a pamphlet in the library under the career section. I was a hair trigger from quitting two full time jobs and living in the woods. To me money is very important.

intoxication is the trading of power for the illusion of power

I have no advice or commiseration to offer, like everybody else does. I have only a question: why approach alcohol this way? I wonder what it means for somebody to generalize intoxication like this, and this is entirely selfish, because it will probably aid me more than you to understand it.

I hesitate to empathize with the rest without better understanding your motivations, though most of it could very well describe me.

I suggest you start lifting with a personal trainer your own age you'll have to pay him, but he'll be someone to talk to that shares your interests. He'll probably have friends he'll want to introduce you to if he's cool

Hello nice to meet you, fellow islander here. I have a two step plan to mostly fix this as it helped me, I hope it helps you too.

Step 1. Get a dog if you have the time, cat if not.

Step 2. Join a club of some sort, no matter how gay the idea sounds it's a good idea. Anything from a gun club to helping some emergency services, pick something you have even a vague interest in. Ignore that gut wrenching WTF is this for feeling for the first two times you go after that you will probably find someone else feeling similar. It's not about the activity but the people.

We are hardwired to need social interaction so in response to your last question there is no way to simply get over it, you gotta take this bitch head on.

Good luck and vent as often as you need, no goat stands alone.

Nigger join your local bigfoot society of alien club or magic tournys don't turne into eh tranney

Try D&D or Magic The Gathering at your local gaming/comic book store. Adventure League made me a few new friends when I moved here.

Brother, what I am about to tell you is the only thing you need to hear.

We meet new people by approaching them or by being approached by them, that's it. You need to conquer your approach anxiety. Admit you have approach anxiety and start fixing the problem. I'll go first: I have approach anxiety and it is holding me back in life. I am working on it everyday, but I am still not comfortable enough to approach people out of the blue without being nervous.
If you think about it it shouldn't be a problem to approach people, but somehow it is one of my biggest fears. I don't know what to say, what if he/she laughs at me, what if I burst into flames, etc. The answer here is 'so fucking what?'. Go to the neighboring town where no one knows you and approach people. In the store, on the street, anywhere. There are no rules that say you can't approach people, you can do it anywhere and anytime you want. Go up to a women and say you want to go bowling with her. Don't ask her, just say you want to go bowling right there and then.

https://voat.co/v/theredpill will be able to help you. The community is much more active on plebbit. I'll tell you this though, the only way to get over the anxiety is to start approaching. The best way is by approaching women and the first time is the hardest. Or perhaps the best way is to start by approaching the elderly, they love to chat. Just embrace the fact that some people will reject you. You can't expect to succeed the first time you try, you are practicing after all. Practice everyday. You are approaching them for your own sake, not theirs. It perfectly fine to be rejected - maybe they where in a hurry, maybe they are having a bad day, maybe this particular person did not find you attractive enough. It does not matter and the sky wont fall down. You seem to have your life in order, the only problem you have is approach anxiety. Just remember, when you are getting to know someone it is ok for you to reject them as well. Don't settle!

Try spending time in the mountains, woods and solitude go hand in hand. Get out there away from civilization and being alone will be a positive.

Try social dancing. It's becoming a bit SJW but it is still a great way to meet people.

In our area, we have swing dancing, salsa, ballroom, and various country dances. Choose whatever moves your feet.

You don't have to be good. You won't be. Get used to the idea of sucking for the first year. But all you have to do is go up to someone and say, "Would you like to dance?" and when it's over, "Thank you"

Find a local club of any kind and join it. Find a group of like-minded people who do things you enjoy, and go do it with them. Eventually you will establish relationships with those people whether you are an autist or not.

Nobody says you have to smile in public, but at least try to show general positive reactions if people attempt to talk to you.

Ideas for clubs/activities:

• ham radio (there are generally local classes with awesome old dudes - it's like a local message board group)
• shooting
• martial arts
• Civic Air Patrol
• Rotary Club
• Weight lifting club/meetup in your area

It doesn't sound like you really have hobbies other than reading and lifting, I would say find a local lifting group to join. Or, last resort, start going to a crossfit gym religiously. It's not a ton of fun, but crossfit communities are amazing for meeting people. If you go every single day, you will not be able to avoid making friends.

Nobody can make you enjoy being around people, if you are truly lonely then it's on you to make yourself suffer through it.

And by the way, everyone is a fraud when they start something new. Just fake it til you make it.

Since you are so isolated, I'm going to make a guess here. If you constantly masturbate and look at pornography, stop right fucking now. Isolation is a symptom, not a cause. We will never win this fight if we isolate ourselves and go down as individuals.

Get a religion, and keep it in mind that breaking loneliness and making friends take time. Your results will vary accordingly to the effort you put in.

There are good religious groups and there are bad ones, and you'll need to find one that both you get along with the doctrine and the people. You might find what you seek on the first group you find, or you might need to go through few groups first, or even be a part of few groups at the same time.

Don't give up, it's a worthwhile challenge you have in front of you and will yield very good results on the long run.

I’m in a similar boat and I appreciate you articulating it. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Christianity, dogs, family and inventing stuff takes the edge off for me, as well as realizing the grass isn’t always greener, i.e. when viewed objectively, modern marriage looks like misery.

Smiling is hard for me too. It helps to practice to build up the smile muscles so they are easier to come by. I must look like a weirdo on the security cameras when i walk the halls with a big fake smile.

Read Allen Watts.

You like to read, join a book club. Start some activity, hobby, sport that you like.

Where are you?

You need other people. Smile moar faggot! And join a book club! Just save any controversial thoughts for the third or fourth meetup.

You gotta find forgiveness, but taking time away from stuff that angers you is a good way to get there. This world is too fucked up and life is way too short to live an isolated life. Maybe if you were 80 and had done it all...

You need a 'Shit Hole Buddy'. I have a few. We'll do stupid stuff and hang out. My best one, from high school, he got really hurt so many times and they were all hilarious. We made dry ice bombs and one blew up in his hand; A laugh riot. Another time, he held a mortar tube as a mortar firework shot out and that fucked his hand up pretty good. Another time, he fell off a scooter and got really hurt on the pavement. Fuck, I'm laughing as I'm remebering all these stories. You need a shit hole friend. Someone to talk stupid shit with. To be openly racist with. Man, these are the best friends.

Shit man. Maybe you should grab a drink at your local watering hole. More people in the same boat than you would think. Rub some shoulders.

Hey man, it sounds like you're suffering from the deliberate isolation that is being forced upon White men.

I started this anon sub: https://voat.co/v/SuicidePrevention

I'm not saying you're suicidal, but that sub is more of a catch-all for White men who are suffering from feeling aimless, lacking motivation, or just being flat out lonely.

I'm trying to encourage brotherhood among White men. We have been conditioned since birth to not believe we have an in-group. Every other race refers to each other as "brother" or some other term. What do most White men call other White men? "A guy, a dude, man, etc."... simply modifying our language modifies our behavior. Referring to each other as "brother" or "cousin" strengthens bonds. These are lofty goals, yeah...

But here's my point- I made that subverse, and a thread about White male suicide, and the outpouring of support from goats was unbelievable. These salty, bitter motherfuckers all came out of the woodwork to say shit like "I know how it feels, talk to me if you need to" or something similar. Several stepped forward with expertise on the subject of mental health.

This response revealed to me that although we feel isolated, we aren't. We probably run into each other more often than you realize. The first step to dealing with the isolation foisted upon us, is to speak up and reach out so lines of communication are formed.

(((They))) do not want Whites to do this. That's why we have to meet in the shadows in places like Voat or /pol or the chans. But it's not illegal (yet), so have some patience and resolve, and communicate with your brothers.

I admit; I have nothing to contribute.

I'm pretty similar in many ways. I've never felt like I fit in in my entire life, as far back as kindergarten and throughout all of school. I had friends, and groups of friends but I just always felt on a different wave than them. There've been very few people I've had more real, genuine relationships with. Few years after high school and I started to drop old friends who I didn't want in my life anymore to the point where I'm now, where I literally have no social life outside of family.

My only social media is instagram, and even that's just some old friends from high school and family pretty much. I live in a place where it's hard enough to meet new people as it is. I'll sometimes drive up to town and grab something to eat just for the sake of social interaction with the server or whoever I bump into. Part of my hopes in going grocery shopping every 2 weeks or so is miraculously meeting a cute girl to ask out.

It's not even that I'm socially awkward or anything either, I've even been told I can be charming and approachable.. it's just that I just in general don't really like people, but regardless my body craves socializing. I've noticed if I go a week without hanging out with anyone I get really depressed. At this point I don't really even care about finding friends, I'd rather just find a good girl to settle down with and have a couple kids or something.

Maybe go to church if that does it for ya? Maybe start a meetup group? That shit sucks man; life is hard but you're doing better than you think. Life is a competition and you're competing and you're close to where you need to be. It sucks that there's more that you've got to do and that you've got to figure out yet more to life, but you're gettin' there. Don't give up; be creative and try stuff out to see how it goes. If you can't think of anything else to try, give old ideas another shot. Godspeed!

Get a dog.

Do stuff that matters to you. Rather than going to the gym join a club to build a skill you value e.g. archery. Something where similarly self contained people meet and socialise around a meaningful activity. You may not talk a whole heap but working alongside others like that is rewarding.

going to the gym, reading

Gyms are gay, and you don't need porn that much. Drop those and take up an outdoor sport, but not a team sport, so you get your exercise but have some low pressure social time.

Your entire problem is you say "I" too much, fuck you kike
