Tuned in to Random Acts of Kindness!

Did your sister tell you why she thought that? It's possible that your girlfriend is trying to manipulate you now, but it's hard to tell without more context.

that's not very nice :(

Thanks, you too

Puru cute!

I'm in a similar boat, even though I only have a very surface understanding of stoicism it can help me immensely.

For example I've always worried about how others perceive me, like when somebody says anything about me in a slightly negative manner I can't stop thinking about that for days. Or how unfair the cards I got dealt in my life are compared to others etc.

What I get from that philosophy most of all is becoming better at being mindful of my emotions by not getting overwhelmed by sadness/anger I usually keep dwelling in. I have to constantly recall the advice and recognize the situation for it to help though, because I am lazy and basically picked a few pieces of advice that suited me best and rolled with it.

What I can't quite get into is that many of those teachings were apparantly popular and taught by the upper crust elite, who talked about their struggles while probably owning a few slaves, which compared to the general populace of that time seems a bit pretentious. But as I said, I don't know nearly enough about stoicism, or even about history in general to be honest, I just think if some words help me work on myself then that's a good thing.

Most of all, I try to stay away from philosphy because a lot of writings usally come off as too pessimistic for my taste, which doesn't seem to be the case for stoicism, or at least the parts I read about.

Depends. Diogenes the Cynic, a forerunner to Stoicism, lived in a barrel and eventually got captured and sold as a slave. (admittedly, the barrel was by choice. Diogenes was a weirdo) Other founders also had terrible things happen to them.

"To live is to suffer" is the basis of a lot of philosophy because it's true. The rest is just how you deal with it.

The reason why I don't care about most philosophy is that it's generally only a bitter attitude to life trying to be sold as truth.
I also don't think that kind of discussion belongs here, but that's just my opinion

You're not the only one who feels that way here.

I like Epicurus, probably because I am very nervous and his teachings are about overcoming it. Plus his theories about atoms are very entertaining.

Good morning everybody!

Good evening

at 11 or midnight i hop into bed and watch videos on my tablet or read my kindle till 1am. Then I typically fall asleep within 10 mins of putting it down. I tend to fall asleep quite well nowadays

>>172 (OP)
Terrible, I sleep whenever but it's usually dictated by something else and I don't set alarms so sometimes I'll wake up 8 hours later, other times 12 or 16.

I really need to sort my sleep schedule out.

I go to sleep a little past midnight, often listening to long YT videos on esoteric topics.

The only thing i have to say to the /kind/ people is dont forget this is a whole website, not just a single board.
Dont be afraid to post on topic content in the other boards.

The main issue is that I don't really care much for old technology or anime or videogames anymore.
I used to, but now I find myself more focused on the development of tools that we have today. The only thing that might be /retro/ that I sometimes care about, is demos for old computers like the commodore, zxspectrum and amiga. But it's a veeeeery small kind of interest.
Sometimes I also had a slight interest for the PC-98, but besides Touhou it doesn't seem interesting either, it just seems like a bunch of VNs in a language I can't read, and that due to cultural differences, don't really care about

I'm just a user who lobbied for us to be friends. Thinking ahead is a good thing.

Thanks for doing that. I suppose I would have found this site anyway when /kind/ went down, but I'm glad I found it when I did.

I'm not here to shill, but I mean zzzchan.xyz! It's not as kind as this place though, this place is more comfy by far. I'm doing okay, just working on programming and stuff.
