You're need to stop trying to fix something. It's all good.

You sound bipolar.

Quick guys how do I get a Korean gf?

I have unrealistic high expectations about my life which will never be met and so I fantasise about them

being admired by everyone is my biggest fantasy and I dont think there is any solution OP, its how our brains are wired. We're just different

There is a really good movie that contains the perfect guide to get rid of your ego. It's called Revolver. Make sure you watch the uncut edition since rapey weinstein butchered the US edition.

read eckhart tolle my friend

Read philosophy and you'll develop a rational mind and get out of this way of life. I'd recommend Soren Kierkegaard specifically for your condition, but you'd do well to educate yourself on a broad overview of philosophy as a general subject before you dive in.

Fast mode: look into mindfulness, stoicism and all that - but that's pleb level shit. If you're too smart, it won't work sufficiently as it does for others.

Bronze Age Mindset
Ignore all other recommendations in this thread.

Look at your face in the mirror,
breath through your nose
don't try to change it
just look at everything, observe the good the bad what you love what you hate.
Don't try to love yourself or hate yourself, just be critical on both sides.

BAP is self-help hopium for incels, although if you're going to read it then at least educate yourself in philosophy, history and literature first.

Alright my little American Psycho sounds like you’re living life on easy mode and you are great at enhancing your own wealth. You need a challenge that causes risk to yourself because you clearly are a severe narcissist (which is fine btw). Take a couple of tabs of acid, or rob a bank, or adopt a loser and try and improve his life while risking your own. You need something bigger to stroke your ego.

Sounds like Narcissism. Read The Last Psychiatrist. I am the same.

Not true. I'm a few standard deviations above average, but mediation/mindfulness fixed my depression.

OP, read Eckhart Tolle and then move on to The Mind Illuminated. Meditation is the answer.

Book recommendation.

Read Nietzche and your little eastern cope will erode to dust

>>i made half this board filthy rich
Thanks bossman. I really enjoy PNK memes too. I'm not just rich, I'm happy now.

Not OP, but i'm afraid that i'll loose all my ambition if i eat psylocibin mushrooms. Can anyone red pill me on this?

you won't. you're a biological being. even if your ego dies, the old zen saying goes, "before enlightenment chop wood and carry water. after enlightenment chop wood and carry water." you will relate to the external differently, but your basic needs won't change as a living being

>bro, dude lmao like I can see the future woah
Lmao at least get some good drugs you human meme

ok, easy:

don't do them if you're not ready. you absolutely need to have a self-analytical structure in place prior to doing shrooms, otherwise it will just be a profoundly physically uncomfortable experience. the end result will be the same as if you participate in the straw challenge without researching it. *maybe* that would be the kind of growth you personally would need at this point in your life, but you will miss the entire point of shrooms. it would be a waste of the material and people would be justified in calling you an idiot for not doing the prep and you'd probably agree.

and honestly, by the time you finish reading something like the myth of sisyphus, you wouldn't even need the drug induced psychotic break to experience the benefit of ego death.

Go into Buddhism, but I warn you, you will have to face a lot about yourself

yah youre not rich, faggot

All of your problems would literally be solved if you were able to live more in the present

Meditate. Study buddhism as well as new age gurus such as Eckhart tolle(easy to get into), Ram Dass, etc. Alan watts has great audios.

Go deep enough and you will find the truth. All of this other stuff is cope.

Bipolar

You never did this have you?

Cringe. Eastern philosophy is midwit cope for idiots who struggle to read western philosophy.

Based /lit/ crossposter. Meditation is for faggots, it solves nothing and people who try to eliminate their ego are ironically the most self-absorbed people you will meet.

Peace of mind isn't something you can buy at a Barnes and Nobles. Life is a lot more complex than muh gurus have all the answers. Figure it out yourself OP.

Depends on what your ambition is. Very unlikely though, unless you are putting yourself through needless 60-hour plus workweeks filled with misery. In which case losing your ambition might not be such a bad thing.

>Depends on what your ambition is.
Well i'm on /biz aren't i?

op you need to set high goals that you will never achieve in your lifetime, the reward will almost always NEVER as good as you think it will but suffering for it does bring closure and stops the restlessness because you had to suffer to get what you want.

Don't listen to the retards on here telling you to do drugs, I've seen frequent use weed/cocaine/meth kill more ambition in old friends than the holocaust, it makes you dopamine reliant.

Getting rid of ego with your apparent bpd is also not an option but that's shit advice from coping autists anyway because the richest and most successful people throughout history nearly always had a serious ego, that wasn't fragile of course.

I wish I didn't type this much shit

You could try acid.

So it's to be rich? Yeah don't worry it won't turn you into a dirty hippie who disdains material attachment. I'm still greedy as fuck lol.

...are you me?

desu i think there are a lot more people like this than any of us realise

fuck, I wish I could find the links again
I had some links to a collection of posts of an old deleted forum, which was created to free it's members from their egos
it was highly effective and you could experience the state of no ego after maybe 5-10 hour of reading
it was grounded in the realization that there in fact is no ego and thus nothing to be destroyed
and since there is no ego, there is no you (or what you think you are) as well
I might have brainwashed myself reading this, but I shit you not, I give much less fucks since I read it a few years ago

I really want to sleep with an Asian woman.

I was heavily into western philosophy before I got to eastern. Nietzsche and such are interesting, but ultimately they are lost in ideas and concepts of the mind. Eastern philosophy gets you closer to both truth and happiness. It's not a cope either, it's actually much closer to the truth of existence than idea-based philosophies.

I'm not going to preach, you'll get there or you won't. My own experience in comparing different philosophies and lifestyles has taught me that eastern philosophy leads to true happiness, which is the only thing that matters in the end.

How has your life changed since then?

You need to read Carl Jung. True Happiness comes from creativity and creating something with substance. "Sex" is the what we all crave because it's the lowest form of energy in creation. You also need to learn about the shadow and anima so you can so doing the proper work to integrate them into your self.

>what books should i read to fix this
unironically the Bible, specifically the Book of Ecclesiastes. it talks about exactly what you are going through and may be of help to you.

Attached: 1584322732181.png (2753x2369, 283.11K)

The Bible is a death cult that worship DEATH. Christians believe your real life don't start until you die. That is a big NO for anyone who is feeling depressed.

>even when i achieve certain materialistic goals or nut in a 9/10, its actually never as good as i thought it would be. the imagination of doing it is nicer than actually living it

I want to nut in this 10/10

Protip: Solomons solution to making life worthwhile in the book of Ecclesiastes does not involve the reader having to die.

i hear Jung referenced by many intelligent people i listen to, if you had to recommend just one book by him for someone to read which would it be?

it's more like the idea that you can die to yourself, and your new life is one in which Christ lives through you. viewed in a different way, it could be good for depressed people because they get what they want, to die, and get to instead live for something greater than themselves

There's a cool feature on these new keyboards called a 'shift' key. You should try it out. Siiiiipppppppppppppp
