How many here have learned helplessness and apathy?

[Grotesque]

No shit we've learned helplessness.

If true, why not go to SEA and fuck whores all day long?

Rich incels could fuck teen asian pussy DAILY.

You'd need to be a millionaire to be able to afford the rent here, otherwise its a van under the viaduct.

You could just slay in the Philippines now.

Yeah... But Filipinas are ugly (to me), and if there's a "condom accident", I'll hate myself for having been involved in hapa generation. The world doesn't need more self-hating incels with a sex tourist dad. Race mixing is usually very selfish and short-sighted.

1) I dislike everything about prostitution. You don't get validation, it's financially ruinous over time, you're sticking your penis in something that has already seen thousands, you risk STDs like AIDS, prostitutes are usually ugly (behind their makeup) and I'm not interested in pure sex.

2) One of the perks that come with learned helplessness is guilt. I feel like I don't deserve the money I earned and therefore don't deserve spending it. It's also linked to my fear that the Abrahamic God is real. Financial speculation and money are badly seen by the Bible. If you use the proceeds of financial speculation to commit fornication, then you'll surely burn in Hell for all eternity. Sometimes I wish I could become an oblivious atheist again. Pascal's Wager destroyed me.

Pascal's wager is based on the premise that it is the Abrahamic god alone that may exist, of all gods. Mankind has conceived countless deities who have devised different codes of conduct for it, each granting infinite punishments and rewards to those who either obey or reject them. By wagering your soul on the existence of the Abrahamic god alone and following his plan for mankind, you are actively rejecting those of deities of whose existence you may be unaware or deem too unlikely to consider, thus resulting in infinite punishment if they exist instead. In either case, you are risking infinite loss, even if you live as though god is real.

In order for Pascal's wager to hold any merit, one would have to live as though all gods (or all versions of a single god, as is the case for Abrahamic faiths) mankind has ever conceived exist, and follow their contradictory commands to the best of his ability. But even then, there's always the possibility that the true god is unknown to us.

I'm not an Atheist personally, but I find it hard to see how Pascal's wager is in any way convincing.

There's a triple bottom incoming (in two weeks or less), if we don't go under, then it's a buy signal. Otherwise just wait for an even deeper crash.

You should post buy and sell signals help us all get rich plz n thx lol

 

[NotQuiteChadLite]

Claiming to be a crypto millionaire is such a meme lol, I've seen so many people claim this online. It's basically a somewhat believable lie, if you can impress laymen with basic as fuck trading knowledge.

If you were a millionaire you wouldn't be on this site, guaranteed, you're just another depressed LARP'ER trying to spice up his e-status with bullshit.

 

[Lubricure]

Never follow the trend, this is for absolute suckers. Nothing has changed since Jp Morgan said to buy when there's blood in the streets. Still the best strategy. You need to buy when everybody is demoralized. Of course for this to work, the intrinsic product must be good. Crypto is intrinsically good. Penny stocks, rarely, hence the treacherous dead cat bounces. The stock market is way more dangerous than the crypto market.

That´s true, I trade crypto as well and I say this is the winning strategy, in my opinion. Buy when there´s a dump aka loss in value, solid advice. Crypto is good and I hope it does some good also to you, I wish you the best.

[Pewaraw]

It's actually true, I'm not LARPing... Any retard can make money in crypto. I probably won't manage to convince you though.

Wtf you doing here then? If you're rich you can easily find some hoe.

 

[Weirdcel]

True forced helplessness.

 

[NEETAndTidy]

Losers typically have a low "locus of control", a term for not believing that your actions can improve your life. It is extremely hard to get past learned helplessness once you got it. Learned helplessness is a result of serious, repeated, inescapable trauma in youth.

For instance, I have become a millionaire recently due to crypto trading but I still LDAR on my bed all day long, feeling like degenerate trash and a loser. Getting plastic surgery, to me, sounds like an enormous hassle. Merely arranging a rendez-vous with a surgeon sounds like a tremendous effort. The same goes for trying to meet women. I've taken anti-depressants, they do lift my mood but I remain the same lazy asshole nonetheless; I just become a happy bum instead of a miserable bum.

This is the ultimate blackpill: if your teenage years are miserable, you risk developing learned helplessness and then it's likely over for you. You'll become the stereotypical loser character in novels. The only thing I managed to do is stay clear of alcohol, but the temptation to go "full bum" is sometimes hard to resist.

Crypto millionare... fuck congrats. Wanna buy me a car

But I live in a state of constant apathy. Except for the occasional panic attack and severe depression

 

[MogekoLord]

motivation is impossible for us

The first step towards rehabilitating learned helplessness is forgiveness. You have so much guilt, anger, sadness, resentment and disappointment for your self-defeating behavior and beliefs that you won't ever be able to feel better until you can have genuine sympathy for your past self. Spiritual stuff is always so big on service to others whilst having compassion and giving forgiveness because it is relatively easier to express these things towards others than ourselves. Then, the next level is you see yourself as others. You relate so strongly that you and others are indistinguishable. Then when you forgive them, you are able to forgive yourself and accept it.

I'm still figuring out what the second step is.
