          Or you could be like this psycho who shits on his family and doesn't want anyone to improve. His life isn't good if your life is good. He only thinks his disgusting slop is good because he assumes you're eating something worse. Look how disgusting his place is he can't even take a pic without showing how messy the table and floor is. Oh no the top one is her. She's so hairy and fat I figured that had to be him at first. Look how round she is. Gotta be 250+.
          This is the best pic this psycho could take so he doesn't want anyone else to make it.

          I’m sorry my photo upset you anon and I’m sorry for my outburst.

          I can never say what I said to you guys, to them. I wish I could. I should. But it’s too late anyways what are they gonna do? Turn their lives around?!

    Reading this book will allow autists to interact with the general population. It is a guide to pretending you are not aautistic. Read it in high school and I was suddenly able to interact with normies simply by following the rules. Highly recommend.

      It’s how all NPDs are. It’s just that Hollywood has associated narcs and sociopaths to be charming good looking interesting people when in reality if you’ve ever gotten the displeasure of knowing these losers personally, they usually are ugly, stupid, and one of the most boring people you’ll ever meet, easily. Narcs/psychos/sociopaths are just bad people with chuunibyou complexes.

    My Dad used to make me read books like this all the time as a kid (pic related). He was a total failure in life so it was very important that I be "successful", i.e. climb the corporate ladder.

    Over the years what I've learned is that it is up to us as individuals to define success for ourselves. I've made 6 figure salaries and I've been a NEET. I can say that for me, i am much happier living as a NEET than I ever was in the corporate world. Don't let others tell you how to be successful, define it for yourself.

      That's certainly true but it's not fun being a NEET if you can't afford your hobbies and become homeless. Being a low tier wageslave is also not fun. If you have to work at least become successful in business and make a lot of money.
      Of course if you can leech someone off or have plenty of inheritance then just stay a NEET.

            This might surprise you but normoids are not intelligent or aware of their surroundings. 1984 is a popular book too yet normoids masked up, lined up to get their gene therapy, and reported their friends and families to police if they weren't obeying.
            In fact the techniques in the book are used everywhere all the time. By politicians, late night funny mans, israelitetube influencers, etc. And normies love those.

    Shut. The. Fuck. Up. Your advice is fake gay and retarded and only applies to people with israeli privilege who manifest such advice as applicable by their intrinsic nature and therefore do not need your gay fake and retarded muh laws of power advice. Seriously, just kill yourself. If you need self help advice you are not a real man, you are riding on Juden Washyourpenistein's dick expecting it to make you be able to afford a house and a few kids.
