Serious Coping: Sitcoms

[Meus]

Wasn't really sure if this is lifefuel so I put it under 'serious'.

I know deep inside that sitcoms are bluepilled as fuck and normies like them too, still I can't deny that they give you the brief illusion that you have friends with shows like The Office, The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half men, Scrubs, Parks and Recreation, Community, How I met your mother etc...

I guess seeing re-occurring characters who you get familiar with and attached to tricks your brain into thinking they are your friends.

I know on a cerebral level this is bluepilled but I literally can't help it. We don't have many copes, we can't be picky with them.

you mean self insertion? There are better shows for that imo but to each his own

Never could delude myself for long.. since my face is horrendous all I have to do is look in a mirror and I am reminded of myself.

The shows you mentioned are all shit. Check out Home Movies, this is the only show I watch.

No I don't mean self-insertion. I mean simply being an observer.

This doesn't mean that I ONLY watch sitcoms. I watch "real" shows as well, it's just sitcoms are particularly good to cope, especially since most of them have weird/quirky characters as well like Dwight from The Office or Sheldon from TBBT. Doesn't make you feel so bad being autistic yourself.

They're basically "friend simulators" not unlike the JRPG genre for video games. You don't watch them for action or an interesting plot. You watch them to experience how it is to have friends.
