When did comics and cartoons stop working as a crutch to stop you from reminding yourself of how lonely you are?
2020 was probably my turning point I guess
was it because of covid lockdowns?
I can't deny they had influence but it was mostly from being deluded by college since it was the year I got into
Developing on that, there was a point I tried sheering myself up with vidya or whatever but all I could think every time was "what's the fricking point of this bullshit? Nothing of this is real"
And I don't say this as a shitty anti-escapist aesop like "you need to solve your problems instead of ignoring them" because my problems can't be ever be solved
I feel you 100%. Even when I try to bury myself in my projects stupid shit happens that either takes away my focus or whatever
I really wanted to create my own art, and I even got the free time for it, but I'm so drained at this point I can barely do even the things I like. I'm just barely going through college right now but I feel like I already gave up deep inside
I was using media and video games with my friends and brother for quite a few years while facing medical problems. When they left for a week that I couldn't go with, I really didn't feel like playing anything or watching anything. I'm in the lurch and my brother is coming back to town tonight, but it made me realize how little I actually care and my developed codependency while how much I was masking my medical pain by distracting myself. Shit, I feel like I could go to the hospital, but they really can't do anything about autoimmune disorders other than say you gotta manage it better on your own.
>because my problems can't be ever be solved
damn bro, I'm so sorry to hear that 🙁
They still work for me against my better judgement. I should probably consider moving on before it bites me in the ass really hard, but every other day I see fighter jets flying above my house, going to fight a war thousands of miles away that my country allegedly has no involvement in, and I think I'll just keep enjoying what I can while I can, because you never know if a retaliation missile will fall over your head tomorrow.
whens the last time you cried anon
When cartoons became miserable to watch for the past 7 years.
Ah yes, because the people who live vicariously through isekai shit and other blatant escapism are the true free Ubermenschen, right? To quote a certain homosexual, clean up your room.
>Completely missing the entire point
>This much of a hostile response
Did it cut a little too close to the heart? That you know its correct yet your animal brain went with a disgusted response due to self reflection and some choice words?
are you a Democrat by any chance
Worse, I'm a leaf.
Your post is hostile and rife with insults, so I don't know why you expect politeness in return. However, my post is actually fairly tolerant and not even insulting you. Now why don't you answer the question?
>because the people who live vicariously through isekai shit and other blatant escapism are the true free Ubermenschen, right?
the point of this pic is to mock the bottom post, right?
it's to get jiggle jiggle
it's good to have some escapism but it's important to not make it a crutch

>I want to work in cartoons!
>I want to work in video games!
No, you want to watch cartoons and play video games instead of doing homework. You wanted your mom to think you playing games was homework, that when she asked you to stop watching cartoons and do your homework, that the homework could be watching cartoons. You wanted to watch cartoons instead of going to school, not to work in cartoons
>Be madly in love with this girl since high school
>Got hints she might have liked me back
>Biggest regret is never telling her how I felt
>Talk on and off after high school
>Last time I got confirmation, she was in a relationship in was the middle of covid and she was in lockdown at her boyfriends house
>don't really want to think about covid lockdown sex so use my capeshit to help me move on
>couple weeks ago go on. dating apps
>see her profile
>for some reason instead of thinking Realistically I think this is my chance back in swipe right on her
>she never swiped right on me
>now I feel like shit and my usual escapism isn't helping
the worst part is letting myself feel like a 16 year again
Most high school relationships don't last anyways, some people say you need a clear direction in your adult life, getting a job and multiple hobbies, before you have the maturity for an actual romantic situation
>some people say you need a clear direction in your adult life, getting a job and multiple hobbies, before you have the maturity for an actual romantic situation
Honestly, that's what I've been working on before this happened. usually, I don't really care if I'm single because I think sometimes we put too much merit into being in a relationship to be happy instead of focusing on ourselves... but this girl man as soon as I saw her profile i just forget everything about that.
Sometimes fantasy is better than reality. At least you got closure, I still have nightmares about my lost love.
>CAPTCHA:goonj
>At least you got closure,
yeah, maybe I should start looking at it like that. part of me is still holding on hope that she hasn't found my profile or hasn't logged on yet but maybe this is a good thing in the end
you think that's bad.I actually waited too late to tell my high school crush how I felt, and when I told her at a party she actually felt the same way back but she was going away for college so there was no point. I got a kiss and got told to
>Not think too much of what could have been and look towards the future.
It's been 5 years I fricking can't not think about what could have been
I hope a lot of you anons struggling find happiness and people to be around especially cause that blows but remember to not let your escapism overcome you. it's healthy to want to escape but sometimes people rely on it too much
At this point, I don't really care. When you're an adult, this kind of stuff stops worrying you because you have better things to think about. Of course, I could be on /LULZ/ all day, complaining about how pathetic my existence is, but I have pending matters with certain people in real life. I'm gonna wageslave until I eventually die
that sounds like a mature decision. i hope you do well in life
I've spent thousands of dollars on literotica of my favorite ships where I like the girl and project onto the guy.
I'm also in love with Hailee Steinfeld to the point where I've cried like a baby over her. I pre-ordered a ticket to Captain Marvel 2 despite hating most Marvel movies because she is rumored to have a cameo. I watch everything she is in no matter how terrible.
Jesus christ anon
Never cuz I've groupwatched all my tv with buddies for the last ten years.
are they kissing anyone
Only the one guy but he went to catholic school.
so he's gay?
I already told you he went to catholic school.
so he's a pedophile
I'm never lonely, I have people around me all the time. I only watch cartoons when I feel nostalgic.
I only come here because I have nothing better to do
