I'm just tired

DangZagnut · 2019-09-26T19:27:21+00:00

I feel you.

Spin2407 · 2019-09-26T19:34:48+00:00

I want to go home. I want to have a simple house, with four acres of land to myself. Where I can watch the sun set and drink a beer and say "yeah I'm good."

Just do it, man. You are free, and I understand what you say. I share every pain and agony you explained here, but I don't think you understand that you don't have to explain any of your choices to anyone. If people complain about your choices or have expectations about you, it's none of their business, it's your life and you must live the way you find yourself happy with. I suggest you watch a documentary in Netflix, it's Minimalism, the essence of it maybe will enlighten you to chase your dream of have a simple house and have a good life.

And don't take this sub to the heart, you said that almost everything here promotes to be left alone, maybe the community has a majority of its users that like it, but if you don't, that's not wrong, you can live your way with people you love, that's no crime and no one here will judge you. I hope you find happiness my little brother!

DashingWolf · 2019-09-26T20:32:13+00:00

One of the best rants I read in awhile. Understandable too.

MuleFool42 · 2019-09-26T20:06:34+00:00

Good rant. Yeah, this world has taken a huge turn for the worse, especially for men over the last 40 years or so. It's been going bad for a while.

The best choice that men can make, especially young men, is MGTOW. Young men have seen their fathers and uncles get screwed by the system and can learn from the mistakes of prior generations. The internet helped MGTOW grow. Before, men just killed themselves on the courthouse steps or suffered in silence and society didn't give a fuck.

MGTOW is the natural response. Every man should be MGTOW. It's the only halfway healthy choice a man can make.

MiddleAgedMGTOW · 2019-09-26T19:38:49+00:00

I understand. I hope you get that 4 acres spread and find some peace.

BiffBiffBiff27 · 2019-09-26T20:35:59+00:00

I'm with you on all of that, brother. The past 2 days I've felt the intensity you conveyed here.

Weather permitting I spend 1-2 hours just sitting on a bench in a quiet park, not thinking, just contemplating or watching the sky change. It balances me out. Sounds like you need to do the same.. get away from the bullshit, make space for YOU every day.

Society is none of our concern. Save yourself first, then you can see whether anything else really needs to be saved.

Punishing yourself is a bad habit instilled by parents and culture. Don't do it. Easier said than done though as we always automatically identify with our moods.

Take care.

oceanofice · 2019-09-26T20:56:17+00:00

Don't let any motherfuckers manipulate you into feeling guilty about not being about their values and groupthink. This is the price we pay for being individuals in a sea of collectivism and conformity.

Unexpecter · 2019-09-26T21:21:04+00:00

a-fucking-men my dude.

OldRoad · 2019-09-27T00:28:58+00:00

I'm not going to address everything that Original Poster said, but here's some advice:

If you are sick of mainstream news, and popular culture, turn off the TV and movies and radio. I only watch a couple of shows anymore, and they sure aren't mainstream media news. I think you'll be surprised by how much this helps.

I'm sorry to say this, but, if you don't have enough money to retire the way that you want to yet, then it's probably a good idea to keep working. Even with MGTOW, I expect to work a full career, although I don't mind spending money on myself and my relatives occasionally, and I don't want to be poor during my retirement years. However, I still have a much better situation in that way than a lot of people out there, and at least I shouldn't have to work until really old just for financial reasons.

You can also look into changing jobs if you are too tired of your current job.

As for overly competitive people, or people whom you are tired of for some other reason, just minimize the time that you spend around such people. There's no doubt that there's a lot of people out there who can't help but create unhappiness and problems for the people around them. It works really well to just avoid people like that, as much as possible, other than special situations. In my current daily life, for example, I almost never have to be around people with really bad personalities anymore. Sometimes it takes a job change to do that, but it's better to avoid having to do that, if possible, in my opinion.

Aside from that, enjoy the good things about living in the current time period. For example, it's easier than ever to find and buy an old book that you want to read, an old CD that you want to listen to, an old video game that you really want to play, or an old movie that you want to watch. Information on just about anything you'd like to know is pretty easily available. You can have discussions about countless subjects with all kinds of people at any time of day or night, in the comfort of your own home. In some places, you can buy yourself lobster or a steak at the store in the middle of the night! If you want to develop a new skill or interest, it is probably as easy as it's ever been to get started, in a lot of cases. And of course, you know about MGTOW, and so you have those advantages available to you.

I had a chance to travel over the summer. I was away from the daily output of mainstream news and popular culture. Instead, I got to be in new environments. I went to beautiful beaches and famous places, I had some great food, I had fun new experiences, and I saw plants and animals in the wild that I had never seen before in person. I had an awesome time, and it was probably at least as much fun as it would have been for me 20 years ago. I will always have those experiences with me, from then on.

My point is, a lot of the stuff that you are talking about, seems like stuff that you can block quite a bit. Then you replace what you blocked with good things that you enjoy. You may be surprised by how much this helps.

Also, this will probably help fix the world. Think of a TV news program that annoys people, that the people don't trust, and that people are just plain tired of. The more that the public just turns off that TV show, the less that TV show matters. Even if the show is fine with losing money, it won't have much effect if almost no one watches it.

Also, don't forget that there are still lots of good people out there in the world.

dieselnut · 2019-09-26T22:23:34+00:00

Dude... go to the gym. 90% of this shit won't matter anymore. You'll feel better and live longer.

MrMagtow · 2019-09-27T03:51:25+00:00

I fucked 12 bitches with my 300 inch dick, and I make 30K

pwnzusauce · 2019-09-27T01:49:04+00:00

You hit me right in the feels.

I found out about the red pill, then hypergamy and mgtow rather recently. Also came to terms with the fact that we are just a cog in the machine.

I became like you, enraged and depressed about how all this we have is being thrown out in exchange for "MUH feelz" and politically correct bullshit.

I also want out, but I understand I have to just keep at it for a little longer so I can actually check out from society.

I simply wanted to get away and even fucking camp on the weekends but where I am at that culture is non existent so there is no campgrounds. Also far from the ocean... FML.

But I will keep grinding for a few years more, then shit will turn around and I'll be able to see the fruits of my labor.

I thought about "finding myself" as in learning how to survive from scratch to rediscover what this all means...

Sadly most things are taken for granted nowadays because of the lack of conflict and weak men being raised and told how to behave and how to "properly treat a lady" which is a big lie.

I did find a goal, then everything was as clear as day for me: this goal will be the ultimate solution and will accomplish a lifelong dream of travelling the world.

Maybe you haven't found that yet... Do not despair, just seek what makes you tick and go from there.

Godspeed brother.

strainer123 · 2019-09-26T21:50:58+00:00

I feel like you too, everyday mate, its a grind, I live in the hope for better days, because the days I have are just not satisfying, I just live to get through this shit nowadays, I work to pay the rent, food, I don't make enough to save, I actually eat through my savings every month, it just gets worse...

Grizzled_Duke · 2019-09-27T02:35:58+00:00

I can relate, brother. Follow God and be the best ma that you can be. We’ll get through this!

801735 · 2019-09-26T19:34:37+00:00

Relevant

Perhaps it's time for a time out offline for a while? It happens, gets under one's skin after a while. Then pause, recharge, then return to the grinder. Masochism, I guess? =]

Helikzhan · 2019-09-26T23:23:11+00:00

Just remember where it all began. 1920 is when this began. When women were given the right to vote by weak and disinterested men and the constitutional misinterpretations reigned.

We get back to sanity by revoking the rule of weak men.

2019-09-27T00:32:21+00:00

and even my occult stuff,

Do tell....

bot_cuck42069 · 2019-09-26T21:11:10+00:00

Brother I feel you, that tiredness and feeling estranged from the world we’re tossed into. I wish as much as you i could just hop off the ride and get disconnected but we can’t, it’s like being in a hyper car going 200+ mph straight towards a cliff. No point in jumping out you’ll end up just the same as if you stayed along for the ride. Might as well close your eyes and just feel the beauty in the havoc and wait for the inevitable. It’s a game play it how you will and focus on nothing else because at the end it does not matter. You have the choice to interact with certain “people” and that leads you on a new quest or path, follow the one that you desire and interact with those that will better you and help you fulfill your quest in this life. Keep GYOW and remember that there’s always a brother somewhere ready to listen and help if needed!

thelookoutbelow · 2019-09-26T21:13:54+00:00

Don't quit just yet. Go mega earning and mega frugal. Shop for a good savings account and pack it to the brim.

Save a few hundred K in the next few years and then take a full month or more off. Then decide if you wanna go business owner, remote ninja, or full monk

oldguy_1981 · 2019-09-26T22:24:11+00:00

I think a lot of people feel the same way. I’m at a point in my life where on paper, things have never been better. I make the most money I’ve had, I live in the nicest house, am the fittest I’ve ever been ... and I don’t feel like doing shit. I’m right there with you man. Wish I could offer something to make you feel better.

MunmunkBan · 2019-09-26T23:40:17+00:00

Hey I totally agree. For me sticking up for one side of politics over the other is just arguing about who is going to bend you over the least. At the end of the day they are all self serving arseholes.

manofnoego · 2019-09-27T03:48:23+00:00

May I interest you in some of my favorite music, my dude?

Give this a try when you are alone, tired of your thoughts, and feeling like you just need to relax. I enjoyed this greatly and I hope you will, too.

kes_unum · 2019-09-26T23:02:32+00:00

Old romanian proverb thought to me by my father...doing something good is hard, doing something bad is easy. I have not foubd 1 single instance where this did not apply. 2 years to build a home 2 hours to demo it with a bobcat. 10 years to build a relation, one night of fuck up will ruin it. Saved 50k for a home, burned it in one night on booze and sluts. It's too easy to destroy everything. And lets be honest in some instances fun for the moment. But hurtful for the long run.

Alexius_von_Meinong · 2019-09-27T06:01:24+00:00

I recently took a 2/3 cut in pay in exchange for less work and more free time. My life is a lot slower now. I still have to work, but I can leave town for a week, come back, and very little has changed. I don't watch TV. I don't have a Netflix subscription. I don't have cable. I don't listen to the radio. My life is quiet, and I want it that way. In fact. I took my birthday week off to spend quiet time in the country, and I am writing this at the same kitchen table in the house I grew up in. I will consider myself "successful" if I can maintain this quiet life with the least amount of disturbance.

So, under some circumstances, it is possible to distance yourself from all these things. Sick of politics? Turn off the news. Tune out. Walk away. Refuse to be drawn into political discussions. Keep your peace. Sometimes that's difficult, but I have found that holding my tongue and saying nothing is sometimes quite satisfying. No one around me knows what I think. I am a cipher to them. No wife. No kids. Live alone. Don't involve myself in any social activities. Your real friends, if you have any, will keep in touch. The rest will fall by the wayside, and that's okay.

unplugged833 · 2019-09-26T22:34:53+00:00

I feel exactly the same way in every word you said. Damn! I'm full of emotion knowing someone thinks like I do. Great post!

2019-09-27T00:42:19+00:00

And for the newcomers here, Go your own way. Society does not care about you. You're a tool to be used and discarded.

The post we had the other day with the 60,000 veterans that have killed themselves/committed suicide sealed that deal for me. Matter of fact, I'm still upset about it, and have been for 2 days. Especially considering my overseas duty locations, etc.

This is my 5th (at least) handle here, and I needed to take a break, but this sub ALWAYS keeps me coming back. This place is powerful. There is sooooo much warnings, truth, sharing, lessons, etc. etc. etc that are posted here, it's hard to let it go.

DmitryRemoverOfKebab · 2019-09-27T00:57:48+00:00

I feel that I've been slowly slipping into a similar state of mind. But with every ridiculous event or "news story" happening every other day, I feel like this process becomes faster and faster until ill become extremely cynical and purposely seal myself of from the world.

BrizzLatency · 2019-09-27T01:29:55+00:00

Yep it's sad it makes me depressed as well watching people be used like I was and being disposable to most people not taking anything I day into consideration. It sucks man it really does but for some reason deep inside me I want to keep going I don't even know what I'm doing sometimes or who I'm lrovimg myself to.

I hope the world gets better. I'm not to sure if it will though sadly. We'll see or maybe we wont.

Original_Username7 · 2019-09-27T05:55:14+00:00

Jesus was the ultimate man who went his own way. Fuck religion. You sound like you'd jive with his words. Peace brother.

Vindictus80 · 2019-09-27T08:56:05+00:00

Unplug social media, hit the gym, focus on yourself and stop giving a fuck. You are way too emotionally invested in things beyond your control. That shit only leads to anxiety and depression.

You don’t have to listen to politics, you don’t have to compete with the Alphas, and you’re under no obligation to correct human nature and “make a difference”.

The happiest people are the ones who’ve jumped off the hamster wheel and insulated themselves from all the background noise.

r8001 · 2019-09-27T08:29:14+00:00

I don't want to be told I need a wife. What then? Get fucked in the ass by the courts and have my soul sucked out of my dick? What, pray tell, good would there be had by following this stupidity nowadays?

There will be good. For your ex. For government, that won't have to pay for your useless ex. Just not for you.

But yeah, I also hate "alphas". I don't care how many bitches you fucked. In fact, I'd just think that you're filthy, morally-decayed, with low standards. Respect is the last thing you'll get from me.

2019-09-27T11:12:40+00:00

Welcome to being a grown-up. I know you will understand why some people are opting to semi leave society and do things like by property with a few acres between them and the next house.

conquersex · 2019-09-27T14:28:57+00:00

I used to be like this. The religion of Krishna Consciousness provides the solution to all these problems. Here is a guide to Brahmacharya (Celibacy in thought, word, and deed) based on the religion of Krishna Consciousness. It has many other resources on the religion for anyone interested in learning more about it - https://www.reddit.com/r/Semenretention/comments/b9qx5o/a_krishna_consciousness_perspective_on_semen/

Slitherbee · 2019-09-27T17:09:56+00:00

+1 for mentioning the Female Dating Strategy subreddit. I too felt a lingering depression after browsing there. Its a celebration and encouragement of pure, vile, sociopathic behavior towards men. This type of attitude is becoming the norm and its no wonder why society is falling apart.

Cumguzzler_scatlover · 2019-09-27T17:32:18+00:00

I want to go home. I want to have a simple house, with four acres of land to myself. Where I can watch the sun set and drink a beer and say "yeah I'm good."

The real american dream.

TheGangsterPanda · 2019-09-26T21:11:52+00:00

We should build a MGTOW community out in the boonies. Just dudes living on the land with each other, doing cool shit, no bitches allowed. Have some people that live there full time, have some rentable rooms for people to come for a "vacation"

10inchstiffler · 2019-09-26T19:29:12+00:00

I am sure there are many people willing to trade your tired place. Like those people we don't give a fuck about that produce our food and consumer items for Jack shit.

Or you can walk 50 miles for your water shit hole kind of country

If the aggregate happiness of the first world was a tradeable security it would be in a giant bubble on the brink of collapse. All of the things propping it up are synthetic and illusory and going to zero. The only way to survive that drawdown is to not be on the wrong side of that trade. Get out while you can.

Freefrombitches123 · 2019-09-27T11:54:56+00:00

I know what you mean. I've witnessed with my own eyes broke scummy guys under 6ft getting laid like mad men but if I mention something about it I get guys aggressively going on about how only high SMV works with women. I agree with SMV working but they like to make everything black and white with no grey area. I think because the topic of what women are really like hits a lot of pain points to men, they use something known as psychological splitting to avoid that pain. That said even I find even if their arguments are not always considering both sides, the principles of mgtow are the best course of action still, so it kind of doesn't matter in a way.

curiousssherlock · 2019-09-27T11:56:09+00:00

2019-09-27T12:10:56+00:00

I used to have a lot of frustration at the world. But you have to ask yourself "is getting angry at people's stupidity giving me any benefits?" Because in the end, the only one who could get any satisfaction from that is other people. Women especially love annoying men and making them angry and frustrated. If you're getting frustrated about shit then you're just doing what they want you to do. There is nothing they hate more than a cold man who doesn't react to any bullshit. The best way you can get back at people is to just not be concerned with them at all.

If you feel like this shit is just too much for you, and you are too bothered by things, you could try reading some buddhism books and getting into meditation and mindfulness. I know it's not as easy as it sounds, but I think people are just not worth wasting energy over.

And if you can't stop the anger, use it as fuel. Think about the things that piss you off while working out, it'll let you push yourself beyond your limits.

WanderlustYouth · 2019-09-27T13:12:30+00:00

Go to sleep friend you're cranky. But if you remain the same even after sleeping, having some good food, some porn or whatever, if even after all those you are "tired", then maybe you'll finally be fortunate enough to give all this up.

"The conditioned soul sometimes personally appreciates the futility of sense enjoyment in the material world, and he sometimes considers material enjoyment to be full of miseries. However, due to his strong bodily conception, his memory is destroyed, and again and again he runs after material enjoyment, just as an animal runs after a mirage in the desert."
