Playing Persona 4 helped me realize something: I am someone's bad ending. I had my awkward phase and did not face myself. I did not work hard to prove myself when it mattered. That crime was small and understandable, and my punishment was swift, total, and just. I no longer have a dark self to accept and become stronger for: the job it has done holding me back is complete. I am not even as much of a waste of space as most of you: I have a decently-paid, stable job, a relationship, a life. Regardless, all my qualities are now utterly irrelevant. I will not achieve any truth in this life. If I thrash around about it it will only be more pathetic. That's it. The end.
Did you play Persona 4 in time and face yourself, Ganker?
The whole reaching the truth theme of P4 was lame.
You should get a little older and reconsider that. Progress requires brutal self-confrontation, and in that and many other cases the truth is more painful than you can imagine. If you do not do this in time, however, the consequences are swift, total, and just. No, brutal self-deprecation of the sort one sees here doesn't cut it.
no but i was going to play through it with a girl i met off this board before i fucked that up like a retard
>a girl i met off this board
The bar is in hell
>a girl i met off this board
It was probably doomed from the start. Leave this place while you still can.
been here since I was 12. bit late for that
I'm in my thirties and would have been glad to have left in my twenties. My life has been alright; pretty average, I guess. Someone on /LULZ/ accused me of being a chad, which I found laughable. Nevertheless I am neither happy nor well nor do I picture myself becoming so or even really want to. It may be too late but you can leave while it's still too late. Shave a little needless pain and stress off
Also read Houellebecq if your neurons are intact enough
That's not how real life works and the only thing you'll learn from a fatlus game is how to be a vapid retard.
You're pathetic for crying about it and not doing anything, gay. Fucking have a nice day.
You're right, anon. We might be a little apart in years; I might be a little too old to change things. I hope your best years go well if so.
Oh no did you just turn 25 I'm so sorry it's joever bro
Over 30
You're acting like it's too late when it isn't, just like a child would. Giving up is the easy choice.
Older men who fight the tide are pathetic. So said even Jung
Do you think fucking Jung defined "older men" as 30-somethings?
Idk man, people died young. I get that I'm digging my own hole here; I get that I'm still afraid of something I won't admit for some reason. But I feel old. I feel so so old
my friend would like to have a word with you

Get actual professional help and stop posting offtopic shit on Ganker
No we're all losers here just like you,
The real truth is honestly cooler than this game depicted.
>inb4 tell us!
It is ineffable imbeciles... but I understand it and it is beautiful.
I fucking learned sanskrit and pali chants for years and shaved my head and did a retreat and am still just as disquieted and there has been nothing that hit as deep as Persona fucking 4. Lucky fucker if you're telling the truth
Have you ever seen a man peel a refrigerator like it's an orange?
No. My experiences all feel intensely personal and irreplaceable to me and are in fact very mundane on examination. I waited in lines in the snow; I walked around cities in early hours; I studied random subjects hoping to find some truth in them; I wept and swore when I realized someone had never cared or really thought about me and lived on with the pain that I once thought I could never live with and has never diminished. None of this was in fact so unique that it couldn't be swapped with the exact same experience from someone else, and none of it brought me any closer to that abstract truth I was looking for. Nothing reached the profundity of Persona fucking 4. I am lost. Face your shadow sometime before a certain point in the vast sea of adolescence or the desert of adulthood will hld no water at all
There's a cookie in the sky sir
Why do you sit here in your ridiculous game of cat and mouse when there is a delicious cookie above your head just waiting to be munched on.
Oh you're just schizobaiting. Have a good night
A split mind you say I have? Is that the case then?
You give physical reality too much importance. As long as you do so, you will be a conformist slave from whom your lords only require eternsl suffering and pathetic remorse. You are not ready to leave the cycle of rebirth in this clownish reality, so it's actually a good thing for you thst you are a wrak conformist, for now.
My mind is ripe and ready to be harvested like a coconut. Ready to harvest the milk seeping between the gray matter isn't it?
You think my mind is split like a coconut then?
I had a health scare recently and kept thinking about dying and all I could think of was "Am I going to wind up amounting to nothing more than a lesson for someone else to learn and grow from? Is that it?" and it freaked me out a little.
I'd keep thinking about that in a distraction-free environment instead of looking for answers here, anon.
You know I am undergoing a treatment here today sir. And you wish to discuss something with me then?
Did this bro really undergo an existential crisis from playing some fatlus waifu sim for teens?
Oh and where is the fun in the words you speak? Sounds like a clinic ol chap. Is that it then?
I understand you. I was the same.
