No-one ever really knows you, life is brief and we all die alone. Hope that brings you comfort.

I often wonder if most other people are alone too and this is all a facade. I feel alone basically 24/7 and have most of my life. I'm much more lonely post 2012 even though I have social media. It all makes me feel more lonely. Going places and seeing everyone on their phones makes me feel lonely. Technology ruined the social fabric of society.

True, but the irony was that he'd say it all the time, in attempts to get us to behave.

Personally I find it easier to be lonely than change. It feels like a sellout to change just so someone may like you. Doesn't seem worth it. Why cant I just be me?

The trick is to talk to someone, anyone, IRL. Srs. You need to get out of your own head, cause ruminating all day about Tinder catfish studies and hypersonic nukes would drive anyone neurotic. For a depressed incel, it sure doesn't make anything better.
Fimd some normal people and talk about Marvel movies and sports and "low IQ cope" like that. As someone who also tends to dwell on the past and worry about grand overarching problems in the future, spending some time in the present always helps put my issues in perspective.
I'll put it a different way: continuing to remain unemployed and post depressing chit literally 100x a day is only going to dig your hole deeper. It's comfortable, cause it's been literally your only source of validation and social interaction for probably the last decade-plus. But when you can't even go for a 2 week self imposed ban without begging the mods to come back, you are unhealthily dependent on them. You need to break that habit, cause not only are you feeding your mind constant negative chit, you're hooked on doing it.
You've either got to start weaning yourself off message boards now and fine something IRL to replace that headspace, or double down on it and end up even more screwed in five years. You're a smart guy. You know what you've got to do.

Jesus is there for you but he can't help you to not feel lonely anymore if you don't let him in. Imagine how great it would be to have a friend like Jesus with you all the time through the good and bad. To catch you if you fall, to guide you to prosperity and out of darkness where you will be seen and your anxieties will melt away.

Find a passion brah - Or stop being an incel & go out introduce yourself to women.
When i was single - I'd either be at the gym, on the mats rolling(Grappling) or out with friends having a laugh.
It's all about keeping busy & not being comfortable in life doing nothing.

Lost 1 a few years back.
He was 18.
Lost a Family member to it too.
She was 19.
I don't see were in the fuk it's funny to tell someone to top themself?... How low is your own personal life that you consider that a way out.

We all go thru periods of loneliness in our lives, OP. It will pass in a short period of time. Nothing is constant. Use your newfound time to develop a new skill or pursue a hobby. Go see a therapist and get on anti depressants. Set a goal of some sort to get out of your situation.

If you're interested, the best responses I've come across have come from; Emmanuel Swedenborg, and various Near Death Experiencers.

Please consider, how much medical technology could advance if the billionaires of the world donated their billions to medical research (and 'downgraded' to being millionaries) instead of hoarding their billions.
The literally hoard billions of dollar - to reitrate they don't even blow their money on frivolous things, they just hoard the money year after year - whilst people complain that 'God isn't doing anything'.They literally have the resources to change billions of lives by creating medical infrastructure and providing education, but they choose not to.
According to a number of Near Death Experiencers, the mental and physical health problems do have cures available... However, it will requires collectives spiritual and systematic change in order for that to become apparent.
Again... How much do you think medical technology would advance, if billionaires followed the example of Jesus, the Apostles and the Early Christians (e.g. The Book Of Acts) and donated their money?
Please look at the amount of money on this list (you have to click on their faces, to see their net worth), what do you think their collective money could do for medical research in general, and providing education and clean water in developing countries?
God has arguably given us the means, but he won't force us to use them...

Also, Near Death Experiencers talk about the power of prayer. The power of prayer is that it affects consciousness, not necessarily the material world (miracles are by definition rare events). Near Death Experiencers talk about the power of praying for the guidance and well being of other people (eg. Leaders, and Nations).

Maybe work on yourself, work on your own happiness. Good book "The Art of Happiness" by the Dhali Lama [ spelling? ]. It is an easy read. Happiness is an artform. People have devoted their whole lives to it's study and practice. Everyone understands that their entire goal in life is to be happy yet few people take the time to actually research the subject and make plans to put their knowledge into action. Isnt that interesting? If you wanted to be buff and strong but never read or researched anything about bodybuilding and never went to the gym or had a diet plan wouldnt that be foolish?
Yet the reason why you want to be buff and strong is because you believe it will make you happy, whether you realize it or not everything you DO you do because you believe it will bring you happiness but quite often is does not because you havent really considered what happiness is or how it is really achieved.
So that is my advice. You are trying to be happy, that is the point of everything, so I suggest you to learn something about the subject. Research it like you all research "alpha male behavior" and "muscle hypertrophy" and a million other subjects that you sight studies and theories about. Think about what happiness IS, how you might achieve more of it, set about a plan and put it into action.

Change your personality, change your pathetic negative attitude and change your retarded liberal views. Maybe then you'll get somewhere.
How dare you!
Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.

The literally hoard billions of dollar - to reitrate they don't even blow their money on frivolous things, they just hoard the money year after year - whilst people complain that 'God isn't doing anything'.They literally have the resources to change billions of lives by creating medical infrastructure and providing education, but they choose not to.
According to a number of Near Death Experiencers, the mental and physical health problems do have cures available... However, it will requires collectives spiritual and systematic change in order for that to become apparent.
Again... How much do you think medical technology would advance, if billionaires followed the example of Jesus, the Apostles and the Early Christians (e.g. The Book Of Acts) and donated their money?
Please look at the amount of money on this list (you have to click on their faces, to see their net worth), what do you think their collective money could do for medical research in general, and providing education and clean water in developing countries?
God has arguably given us the means, but he won't force us to use them...

(What normally happens at this point, is that a right winger will come in and be more offended by me asking Billionaires to donate their wealth to medical research and education, than them hoarding their money and not using it... To them it seems it's worse to ask billionaires to spend their money to help people, than for billionaires to hoard their money.)
Also, Near Death Experiencers talk about the power of prayer. The power of prayer is that it affects consciousness, not necessarily the material world (miracles are by definition rare events). Near Death Experiencers talk about the power of praying for the guidance and well being of other people (eg. Leaders, and Nations).
Again, the means is arguably here, but we don't use it.
There are 2,153 billionairesβ worth a collective $8.7 trillion β currently roaming the world, according to Forbes' recently released annual Billionaires List.

What could 1 trillion do for medical research?
What could 2, 3, or 4 trillion do?
The kind of people who defend billionaires hoarding money, rather than donating it to things that can help people, are arguably the people enabling the problems of the world to continue.
In the words of an Alec Baldwin character "These are the new leads, the Glengarry leads, and to you they're gold but you don't get them. Why? Because to give them to you is just throwing them away. They're for closers."
I see what you mean in that you think throwing money at medical research and such would yield a positive result in people's lives, and you may be right, but in a closed system there is only so much resource to go around and throwing more money at research projects may help a bit but what if they don't need it, greedy people will find a way to line their pockets and fleece the generous billionaires.
Cure everyone, feed everyone, it's the same thing. Just more mouths to feed and less place to put them.
Yes it's very cold and calculated but it's not without reason. Life unfortunately involves winners and losers and people have to fight to survive.
Fuk I'm starting to sound like wincel or something.
I have sampled every language and French is my favorite to curse in.

1. Embrace the suffering. We are all suffering. We all feel alone sometimes. We all get sad. The true determining factor is whether you chose to voluntarily or involuntarily accept that; One of those choices is a victim mentality. Some of the things that make you feel the absolute best - are the things we don't want to do (ex. working out actually hurts while you're doing it, but you feel exponentially better when you're done - this same principal applies to everything).
2. Find something to justify the suffering. Find a way to GIVE to others. Like stated above, we all are suffering. GIVING is the easiest lifehack there is to feeling better.
3. Get employed. Literally anywhere. This goes back to #1, you may not love your job but it will increase your social interaction and give you a feeling of accomplishment.
OR you can continue to do the same thing everyday and wait around for someone else to solve all your problems. Your choice.

The quote goes more like "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result"
If you want the actual definition of insanity you'd have to look it up in a dictionary and it won't be that phrase.
