Can someone explain to me (autistic) what normies get out of festivals?
It cant be about the music or alcohol, because if they liked to listen to music and get drunk they could more efficiently do so at home by listening to the albums that also have better quality so it has to be some kind of socialization exercise.
Is it one of the low iq, keeping up with the joneses meme behaviours like getting a new car? I HAVE do to this because everyone else does it?
>Can someone explain to me (autistic) what normies get out of festivals?
They are big fun. Fun inceases test and reduces cortisol, thus it's eugenic and pleasant.
My parents once dragged me into a eurovision song contest when I was 15 or 16. I got approached by security because I was sitting in the back of the hall playing psp.
Bro eurovision is big gay. Go to EDM and roll on drugs. That's where the fun is at. Xtc is basically god mode in real life and you feel like a king and can talk to anyone.

half the fun of festivals is watching retards rolling
because humans are inherently social creatures. Listening to music in a crowd makes you connected with other people. Being on a festival where you can do and see fun stuff with people who are like minded is also a way to connect with people. There isn't anything "efficient" about it, it feels good to belong.
>no naggers >possibly meet some cool people(more so than many other entertainment avenues, probably cause there are no naggers) >just look at the picture only 10% maybe on their phones other's just dancing and having a good time
To be fair there are a lot of posers that go just to sell drugs. but I think they are inherently good.
MDMA at a rave/music festival/club is a peak life experience.
t. did that from 1998 thru 2006 before quitting E. Still went to festivals and clubs after that but without the E's.
MDMA could probably un-autistic you temporarily during intoxication. I heard anecdotes from autists who took E that they started to notice social cues and interactions for the first time which gave them insight into how normies feel
Going to a festival soon where psych would be prevalent, never done any of any kind (never even smoked weed). I'm going by myself and likely be alone. Would you say in your experience it's a dangerous place/scenario to try something for the first time? I'll likely be offered E, speed, cocaine, weed, shrooms and possibly other stuff. I'm not even sure where to begin.
I'd be wary of psychedelics depending on the type of festival. If it's a hippy folk festival you'll probably have a good time but if it's basically an outdoor rave that everyone's gonna be drunk at you'll have a terrible time. MDMA is literal crystalised happiness, coke and speed are just extreme coffee so stay away from that. Weed is chill
Regardless of what I said absolutely do psychedelics at some point in your life. Cannot recommend them highly enough just they suck around drunk people
Large psytrance festival.
I'm mid 30's and out of cardio so not sure about uppers, my heart's not ready I think, but I do want to try SOMETHING at some point, I just don't know if buying something from a stranger (even someone trustworthy), and taking it by myself surrounded by strangers and a psychedelic lightshow and no one to watch over me is the best experience/advice.
I'm really in-control sort of person and I fear losing control like that would feel horrible.
Just do E then. Make sure you don't do it more than once every 3 months at least. Doing it every week is bad news.

It takes about an hour to kick in.
You might feel a bit weird while waiting for it to kick in. Like a nervous anxiety type rising feeling. Like lake water is about to overflow and you are waiting for the dam to burst. It's like the drug is trying to overcome the mental resistance you are putting up.
But once it kicks in everything is great.

I'd be wary about doing weed or shrooms for the first time in a crowded strange place with lots of people and loud sounds, you could have a bad experience.
E, speed and cocaine should be ok. Just take it easy and maybe have some kind of sedative on hand (xanax/valium) or even just basic alcohol to counteract the possible overstimulation from these stimulants if you take too much.
Heed this warning. DO NOT FUCKING DO DRUGS LET ALONE STRANGE DRUGS ALONE AT A FESTIVAL FOR THE FIRST TIME
I cant believe i have to write that. It is a recipe for disaster and or going off the rails with no one to control you and getting sexual assault charges or getting beat up. Consider yourself warned.
Explain and elaborate. I doubt taking a puff of weed will end up with me beating up some guy while fucking his gf, so obviously you mean harder drugs. What is the worst you think could happen?

It's funny I know a lot of people who are autistic and love festivals, it's a place where you can be yourself because there is so many people and the whole spirit of them is to just have fun regardless of where you came from.
Sad so many just see the large amounts of people and drugs and think it won't be for them
I love you so much. You're not really autistic, you just spent too much time alone. Going to music festivals is great mostly because you can talk to people very, very easily. I am so grateful to my friends for dragging me with them to one of those festivals. You don't even have to do drugs or sex, just go there and talk to cute girls/funny bros and your life will change.
I am slightly autist, it took me a bit to figure out why people dance to live music. I've gone to a lot of live music, but a lot of times I just analyzed the music and their instrument set up. Normies don't dance and smile because the music compels them to, they dance and smile because it feels good. Live music is just an opportunity to do so.
Festivals also provide other opportunities, at least for people who enjoy doing drugs and partying. It's a social space like any other. If you know how to dance, or if you know how to enjoy the company of people you just met, or if you can enjoy live music, you CAN have fun at a festival. Acquire those prerequisite qualities and then go to a festival anon.
>tfw went to countless music festivals, clubs, concerts and various other social/live events in my life and I STILL literally never even kissed a girl
I'm the quintessential failed normalfag
Imagine getting this distressed over the thought of attending a music festival. Sometimes I think I'm a bit awkward and reserved, then I come here and realize I am but a novice in the great hall of Autism
i am also mildly autistic, i am 27 years old and only recently started going out of my comfort zone and trying to make friends and interact with other people.
do you guys think it's too late for me to go to festivals and concerts and try drugs? i'm worried that i'm too "old" for that stuff and that i missed the boat in my early 20s when i locked myself in my room playing wow all the time. do i still have time to do adventurous early-20s things or should i just bite the bullet and focus on career and more mature stuff now?
>do you guys think it's too late for me to go to festivals and concerts and try drugs?
No, it's not too late.
But keep in mind, it's really not that special at all. You should be yearning to do other things, being fucked up at a festival is really not that special of an experience, you can easily die without ever doing that and live a 10/10 perfect life without it.
> Too old...
No, but as someone who has been there and done that you're not missing out on anything.
If you want to have fun in the music scene, go to local club shows. It's easier to make friends there anyway. Stay away from popular bars and large festivals. It is nothing but a waste of time. What area do you live in?
literally fucking me, my 25th birthday is next month. it's like I discovered something that I wasnt supposed to. it feels like becoming aware of an entire world that's always existed right under my nose but I just never acknowledged
You are correct. Don’t let anyone else here troll you and say there is real value in going to concerts. Everything a concert has to offer can be done better and cheaper alternatively.
ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha >drinking at home better than seeing a band you like live
That's some good fucking cope right there, glad you were able to take off your biting prevention mitts to type that post anon
> do drugs that make you feel good around people that make you feel good and potentially meet new people that feel good and you might have sex which feels good
Why do people do this instead of jerking off at home?
Imagine this: the bass from your favourite gym hype song hits you in the chest, vibrating your body from the inside out as the endorphins completely take control of your senses, your hairs stand on end and you get goosebumps as the drop kicks in and you cant help but put your hands in the air, smile and dance with a group of people who are all there for nothing but to smile and have fun with each other. Not to mention you're there with your best buddies, all experiencing this euphoria together and you can't help but tell them you love them, because you're experiencing some of the best times of your life together right there and then, in the moment.
Empty, superficial, unnatural and disposable, as with everything modern. Instead of pushing this shit, maybe you can see it for what it is so future generations to fry their circuits and end up with faulty ideas of what they should be spending their adulthood doing?

So a festival is for talking to junkie retards, having sex with junkie retards, or dancing to dogshit music with junkie retards? Like... That's it? Thats living life and having fun? Holy shit thats pathetic
Of course it's okay. Whenever I do anything that was physically straining I take a day off. There is just no way you have recovered enough to train properly and no point in accumulating even more fatigue if you do work out the next day.
>tfw went to countless music festivals, clubs, concerts and various other social/live events in my life and I STILL literally never even kissed a girl

Not necessarily, but festivals are usually full of them. Particularly electronic/dance music type festivals. I don't do psychedelics or uppers, but I've never had a problem. "Peer pressure" shit is mostly kid stuff and not realistic
Lol this does happen, I talk to none of these people anymore lol, was fun while it lasted. Actually I talk to one kinda, they moved.
I love how in these two images, the effects of post-modernism on women are on full display. In the first pic, that blonde chick looks, cute and sweet and somewhat innocent despite her best effort to appear as prostitute. This is probably early on in her life, shes maybe just out of highschool and the protective custody of a steady home life provided by her parents. By the second picture, she looks like a seasoned whore. Bitch looks straight up possessed by cock. Her expression has gone in the first picture being somewhat shy and joyful, to looking seductive and whorish in the second- the 1000 cock stare.
A glimpse into what this lifestyle does to women. To me, a girl that enjoys festivals is a yuge redflag.
I Kekd, just because she's more drunk/tired on the second pic doesn't mean anything bro, especially at a festival where moving around is kind of the whole point. You're a homosexual

>feeling superior for telling non-druggies that they are boring and dont live life properly
no one in this thread is doing that. actually more delusional than addicts. sad!
Going through life not experiencing what the brain is capable of in terms of altered conscious states is basically like going through life a virgin.
You basically have once chance at experiencing this universe as a conscious meat bag of chemicals, and you choose to stay sober.
It's like a hot 10/10 girl lying on a bed in front of you with her legs spread and you just say no I want to stay a virgin for the rest of my life, I do not want to experience sex. Maybe next life if I get reincarnated I won't be such a pussy.
> Drugs = LE SEX
One is a productive act necessary for the proliferation of your genetics, the other is completely useless. Idk what im talking about though since I do neither.
>One is a productive act necessary for the proliferation of your genetics,
Sex is not necessary, you do not need to proliferate your genetics. >the other is completely useless.
Drugs are not completely useless. They can be quite useful actually.
I dunno man. Maybe shrooms are cool because they are natural and the joy you experience is balanced by sheer terror and ego death, but shit like coke and mdma has me kinda wishing i never experienced them. Its completely unnatural to feel that good and is something you can never recreate without chemical intervention. Having done them with my friends a lot, its kind of depressing when we are "just" hanging around drinking and in the back of our minds we are always thinking how we could be on a different level and have a better time with coke or molly.
>You better have tried meth
I've smoked meth a couple of times
and heroin at least once.
I've done oxycodone which is similar I guess. >Youre not a virgin, are you?
no
Seeing people in clubs/festivals/concerts/whatever having fun dancing and singing makes me so fucking jealous and depressed.
I really want to do what they do and have fun but it just can't bring myself to do it and it just doesn't seem natural to me which FUCKING SUCKS since it's such a common way everywhere to meet new people and have fun and actually get some pussy. Meanwhile I see this shit and just sit awkwardly in the corner while others harass me to go dance. I just end up completely avoiding any kind of party and having fun because I just don't know how to. I feel like a fucking alien or robot. There is so much fresh teen pussy in my city everywhere in clubs but I just don't fit in there.
I feel the same way, but I realize it's all in my head and stems from a deeper trauma experienced earlier in my life that gave me a complex about being around people and letting loose. I know I'd probably figure out how to get by and maybe even enjoy it, but going it alone and potentially getting caught off guard by something I'm not equipped to deal with holds me back.
Went to a festival once and honestly the amount of people was completely overwhelming. Like just a sea of people. Felt kind of gross, like it was impossible to be an individual. Went with m ex cause she was obsessed with some chode named flume. He looked xanaed out and dissosiated and he wasnt playing his music loud enough. The one song of his that i kinda liked beforehand he remixed and it was really bad.
Ive been to clubs and done all sorts of drugs and usually have a good time but festivals r gross.
The short version
You don't have to take drugs to enjoy the music
But if you are set on taking drugs anyways, a music festival is the top choice place to do it.
The festival isn't about drugs, but more of an excuse to take them, for those who were intent on doing it anyways
Escort I see tries to help me a little bit. Next time I see her she is going to take pics of me and make me look good for dating sites and stuff, that way it's not just selfies in my room. She suggested to meet people, and girls, I should go to festivals. I was very against this but this thread made me think about it for real.
Is it really OK to just go to one alone? Do random people talk to you? I feel like yeah there's tons of people, but no one is going to come up to me and make first contact. Is that wrong, or do people do that a lot at festivals? I've wanted to take drugs for a long time since I read certain drugs are relatively safe and can help with mental problems, so maybe I could make first contact anyway with my inhibitions lowered. I'm OK once that's started and I'm comfortable.
just go to a festival you fucking pussy. everyone is going there to have fun so making friends for the day is easy.
i'm not sure what mental problems you have, but taking MDMA at a festival is something else. it has perfect synergy with the music, the vibes, the lights and sounds. it's a magical experience. but you dont NEED to have that to enjoy it, the festival just enhances the MDMA to its maximum potential. an awesome MDMA trip can pick you up out of some dark places and make you see life from a different perspective
It's not much fun without drugs, at minimum alcohol and actually enjoyable/addictive with hard drugs. Sober, you will get bored/sore feet/anxious unless you enjoy all of the Djs performing
So a festival is for talking to junkie retards, having sex with junkie retards, or dancing to dogshit music with junkie retards? Like... That's it? Thats living life and having fun? Holy shit thats pathetic
Post physique, I swear all you Jordan Peterson foreskin washers are dyel homosexuals with no sense of masculinity due to being raised by a single mother
So you wont answer me? Ok.
Of course life's not meaningless without festivals. But every culture, every little town, nearly every group has some kind of social gathering with music, fancy costumes and intoxication. It's a basic concept of human life.
American culture is so deracinated and meaningless that the only way for young people to gather together and feel a sense of camaraderie is through lascivious pseudo-orgies where they listen to loud, scratchy Black-derived music while permanently damaging their brains with "illegal" drugs.
America, where cultures go to die, and morals are destroyed. May China truly obliterate this satanic nation.
Ever think that maybe the reason you think that is because you live under a regime, like any other regime, that seeks to make it's subjects believe that the regime is the best thing that ever happened to them and that all other regimes are bad? Hm?
Just because America chooses empty abstract phrases like "equality for all" and "freedom and liberty" doesn't actually mean that's what it stands for, not that those things are even desirable or achievable in the first place. They're empty catchphrases after all. It's simply an aesthetic this system chooses, because it believes it's the best illusory lie for the masses to remain content.
>live under a regime, like any other regime, that seeks to make it's subjects believe that the regime is the best thing that ever happened to them and that all other regimes are bad? Hm?
This does not sound like China at all!
Being sober at a festival sucks.

Eurovision is not a music festival it's a TV "talent" contest. If you like any music artists that actually perform live, go and see them.
Eurovision is globohomo propaganda, not music
because humans are inherently social creatures. Listening to music in a crowd makes you connected with other people. Being on a festival where you can do and see fun stuff with people who are like minded is also a way to connect with people. There isn't anything "efficient" about it, it feels good to belong.

Watching live music is much better than listening to recordings bro, even if the production quality on the recordings is "better".

Doesn't the 24/7 baseline kill your sleep? I camped a few minutes walk away from the nearest stage (dragon's nest I think) and I still had to sleep with earplugs.
Regardless,
>Huh, Im going too.
Where you from friend, and when do you even get there? Ceremony is Monday I believe.
Ill be taking the train from Budapest on monday so Ill be there around noon. I camped at Pumpui in 2019 lmao, some chill beats won't ruin my sleep and Ill have earplugs too. Im Russian actually, so look for autistic slavs and you'll find me
>look for autistic slavs and you'll find me
You'll have to be more specific than that my friend, there's gonna be 30k people on Monday and I've met plenty of autistic Russians there before. You're coming in with friends?
Personally I'm arriving 1-2 days earlier to catch a good spot and see the crowds grow.
I'm coming alone, my friends didn't make it as travel is kinda complicated at the moment for us. Arriving earlier is also impossible, I already have to leave on 30th to get there before the opening ceremony. Quite a trip ahead! I think you'll be able to find me if you look for my cap (pictured). If you've got some things I could look for, let me know.
Damn, too far away for the moment. Looks like we've got at least 2 SwoleShackizens going tho, so post greentexts after.
Regardless of what I said absolutely do psychedelics at some point in your life. Cannot recommend them highly enough just they suck around drunk people
>likely be offered E, speed, cocaine, weed, shrooms and possibly other stuff.
I'd be wary about doing weed or shrooms for the first time in a crowded strange place with lots of people and loud sounds, you could have a bad experience.
E, speed and cocaine should be ok. Just take it easy and maybe have some kind of sedative on hand (xanax/valium) or even just basic alcohol to counteract the possible overstimulation from these stimulants if you take too much.
Heed this warning. DO NOT FUCKING DO DRUGS LET ALONE STRANGE DRUGS ALONE AT A FESTIVAL FOR THE FIRST TIME
I cant believe i have to write that. It is a recipe for disaster and or going off the rails with no one to control you and getting sexual assault charges or getting beat up. Consider yourself warned.
Explain and elaborate. I doubt taking a puff of weed will end up with me beating up some guy while fucking his gf, so obviously you mean harder drugs. What is the worst you think could happen?
No-one is just going to offer drugs to some autist alone at a festival.
Literally how I first did molly, not an autist tho
You just ask the guy that looks the most shitfaced
Junkie homosexual
>Junkie
>Doing E every now and then.
I feel sorry for you.
I haven't touched drugs or alcohol for more than 6 months, not even caffaine.
I bet you take your gorilla mind preworkout to do your brutal starting strength beginner routine zoomer.
Six fucking months! Boys we have certified badass straightedge gigachad here! Everyone clap at this inhuman achievement!
taking club drugs once every 3 months doesn't make you a junkie you fucking retard
"Junk" pretty much only refers to opiates
>stop having fun in life! you MUST BE miserable like I AM!
> Drugs are uh, LE GOOD! you MUST take mind-altering substances to have FUN! I have no personality to speak of without them!
>NNOOOOOOOOO STOP TALKING ABOUT LIFE EXPERIENCES AND HELPING OTHER SAFELY TAKE DRUGS AND HAVE A GOOD TIME!!!!! ONE THREAD ABOUT DRUGS AND IM LITERALLY SHITTING MYSELF NOOOOOOOOO
I do find it funny how a lot of the "government taking my rights away" crowd is usually anti drug, at least on the right. I actually agree with the first part but how can they not see that the government literally telling you what you can and can't put into your body is a form of oppression in itself.
Most of the right wing Libertarians I know, and myself fully support your right to ingest whatever you want without govt interference.
We can still think you're a retard for it though.
>we
Of course you can think what you want, main reason I think dugs should be legal is so it thins the fucking heard.
Someone should post the redpill about how MDMA long-term/permanently damages the brain. I don't have it saved, unfortunately.
any intelligent person should already know of the side effects of any drug you put into your body and accept the risks and make the choice on your own accord, you don't need some "redpill" jpg image to teach you about something you can do, or not do for yourself. I swear this place is more hiveminded then reddit, but at least I can span nagger every now and then.
autist who took MDMA/LSD and started noticing these things. I'm a God now, but I feel like it could have easily mind broken me as well.
Austistanon, go to a festival. It's good for you.
It's funny I know a lot of people who are autistic and love festivals, it's a place where you can be yourself because there is so many people and the whole spirit of them is to just have fun regardless of where you came from.
Sad so many just see the large amounts of people and drugs and think it won't be for them
Music
I love you so much. You're not really autistic, you just spent too much time alone. Going to music festivals is great mostly because you can talk to people very, very easily. I am so grateful to my friends for dragging me with them to one of those festivals. You don't even have to do drugs or sex, just go there and talk to cute girls/funny bros and your life will change.
They are fun if you decide to enjoy them.
I am slightly autist, it took me a bit to figure out why people dance to live music. I've gone to a lot of live music, but a lot of times I just analyzed the music and their instrument set up. Normies don't dance and smile because the music compels them to, they dance and smile because it feels good. Live music is just an opportunity to do so.
Festivals also provide other opportunities, at least for people who enjoy doing drugs and partying. It's a social space like any other. If you know how to dance, or if you know how to enjoy the company of people you just met, or if you can enjoy live music, you CAN have fun at a festival. Acquire those prerequisite qualities and then go to a festival anon.
Imagine getting this distressed over the thought of attending a music festival. Sometimes I think I'm a bit awkward and reserved, then I come here and realize I am but a novice in the great hall of Autism
sexual intercourse
i am also mildly autistic, i am 27 years old and only recently started going out of my comfort zone and trying to make friends and interact with other people.
do you guys think it's too late for me to go to festivals and concerts and try drugs? i'm worried that i'm too "old" for that stuff and that i missed the boat in my early 20s when i locked myself in my room playing wow all the time. do i still have time to do adventurous early-20s things or should i just bite the bullet and focus on career and more mature stuff now?
>do you guys think it's too late for me to go to festivals and concerts and try drugs?
No, it's not too late.
But keep in mind, it's really not that special at all. You should be yearning to do other things, being fucked up at a festival is really not that special of an experience, you can easily die without ever doing that and live a 10/10 perfect life without it.
thanks anon, that's good to hear and i appreciate it
> Too old...
No, but as someone who has been there and done that you're not missing out on anything.
If you want to have fun in the music scene, go to local club shows. It's easier to make friends there anyway. Stay away from popular bars and large festivals. It is nothing but a waste of time. What area do you live in?
Its never too late to enjoy life my friend
There are many dance festivals where the average age is above 30. You just have to find out which
literally fucking me, my 25th birthday is next month. it's like I discovered something that I wasnt supposed to. it feels like becoming aware of an entire world that's always existed right under my nose but I just never acknowledged
Pretty much nailed it.
Basically a huge carnival with sex and mdma instead of carousels and cotton candy.
Also you can be totally disinhibited and don't give a fuck because in such a huge crowd of people doing the same you won't stand out.
You are correct. Don’t let anyone else here troll you and say there is real value in going to concerts. Everything a concert has to offer can be done better and cheaper alternatively.
>torrent music
>drink at home
>etc
ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
>drinking at home better than seeing a band you like live
That's some good fucking cope right there, glad you were able to take off your biting prevention mitts to type that post anon
also turn off the lights and cover your windows
> do drugs that make you feel good around people that make you feel good and potentially meet new people that feel good and you might have sex which feels good
Why do people do this instead of jerking off at home?
Imagine this: the bass from your favourite gym hype song hits you in the chest, vibrating your body from the inside out as the endorphins completely take control of your senses, your hairs stand on end and you get goosebumps as the drop kicks in and you cant help but put your hands in the air, smile and dance with a group of people who are all there for nothing but to smile and have fun with each other. Not to mention you're there with your best buddies, all experiencing this euphoria together and you can't help but tell them you love them, because you're experiencing some of the best times of your life together right there and then, in the moment.
You can't see why that might be fun?
you forgot
>and then your friend group slowly drifts apart because it is built on a faulty foundation and drug dependency
Lol this does happen, I talk to none of these people anymore lol, was fun while it lasted. Actually I talk to one kinda, they moved.
Empty, superficial, unnatural and disposable, as with everything modern. Instead of pushing this shit, maybe you can see it for what it is so future generations to fry their circuits and end up with faulty ideas of what they should be spending their adulthood doing?
You're wrong, only half wrong though, but I won't argue with you because you don't even know what you're talking about, also your sentence structure is dog shit.
I WILL NOT TAKE MY MEDS. I WILL NOT DRINK THE CORN SYRUP. I WILL NOT EAT THE BUGS.
I enjoy going to clubs for a night out, but driving out to the middle of nowhere, sleeping in a tent and shitting in a bucket is retarded imo.
imagine thinking listening to music at home alone and drinking is normal behaviour but not going out with a bunch of friends to have fun lol you are beyond autistics you are a loner loser anti social autistic retard at least develop the self awareness to recognize that
>to have fun
See
stay away from me goblina!!!!
Name of the semen demon?
yes you already had your leg day bouncing around, do overhead presses instead.
Built for BWC
what the fuck is the point of lifting if you're not going to go out in public and show off your hard work?
Hell yes - go to shows, go to festivals, go to sporting events, go outside. There's more to life than the fucking gym, bros.
I have never seen someone who goes to festivals not be a complete and utter loser
>says this while on SwoleShack
yeah you probably you consider yourself a winner
Of course it's okay. Whenever I do anything that was physically straining I take a day off. There is just no way you have recovered enough to train properly and no point in accumulating even more fatigue if you do work out the next day.
>tfw went to countless music festivals, clubs, concerts and various other social/live events in my life and I STILL literally never even kissed a girl
I'm the quintessential failed normalfag
You post this in every thread about festivals, have a nice day
Not necessarily, but festivals are usually full of them. Particularly electronic/dance music type festivals. I don't do psychedelics or uppers, but I've never had a problem. "Peer pressure" shit is mostly kid stuff and not realistic
That's a man.
Only if you carry a few ladies on your shoulders for an extended period of time, I think that counts
I love how in these two images, the effects of post-modernism on women are on full display. In the first pic, that blonde chick looks, cute and sweet and somewhat innocent despite her best effort to appear as prostitute. This is probably early on in her life, shes maybe just out of highschool and the protective custody of a steady home life provided by her parents. By the second picture, she looks like a seasoned whore. Bitch looks straight up possessed by cock. Her expression has gone in the first picture being somewhat shy and joyful, to looking seductive and whorish in the second- the 1000 cock stare.
A glimpse into what this lifestyle does to women. To me, a girl that enjoys festivals is a yuge redflag.
1st pic was taken after the 2nd one, you're wrong.
I Kekd, just because she's more drunk/tired on the second pic doesn't mean anything bro, especially at a festival where moving around is kind of the whole point. You're a homosexual
Its the best place to take drugs, duh
idk ur mums house is pretty good for that
>thread devolves into druggies coping and seething while feeling superior for telling non-druggies that they are boring and dont live life properly
I also hate tattoos btw, now please attack me so I can laugh at you fucking degenerates.
>feeling superior for telling non-druggies that they are boring and dont live life properly
no one in this thread is doing that. actually more delusional than addicts. sad!
Was it the weed, or the black-tar heroin that ruined your reading skills?
must've been the abusive parents that ruined your perspective and observation skills
Damn, you really are dumber than I thought
>zero argument
>just spams insults
>no point in anything posted
don't you have a cbt to go namefag in?
>arguments
oh my god, fuck off leave already LMAO
>I also hate tattoos
Trying to bait like this on a Chinese sketch forum, your worse than the fags you claim to be superior to, SAD.
Going through life not experiencing what the brain is capable of in terms of altered conscious states is basically like going through life a virgin.
You basically have once chance at experiencing this universe as a conscious meat bag of chemicals, and you choose to stay sober.
It's like a hot 10/10 girl lying on a bed in front of you with her legs spread and you just say no I want to stay a virgin for the rest of my life, I do not want to experience sex. Maybe next life if I get reincarnated I won't be such a pussy.
Interesting way to put it anon
> Drugs = LE SEX
One is a productive act necessary for the proliferation of your genetics, the other is completely useless. Idk what im talking about though since I do neither.
>One is a productive act necessary for the proliferation of your genetics,
Sex is not necessary, you do not need to proliferate your genetics.
>the other is completely useless.
Drugs are not completely useless. They can be quite useful actually.
I dunno man. Maybe shrooms are cool because they are natural and the joy you experience is balanced by sheer terror and ego death, but shit like coke and mdma has me kinda wishing i never experienced them. Its completely unnatural to feel that good and is something you can never recreate without chemical intervention. Having done them with my friends a lot, its kind of depressing when we are "just" hanging around drinking and in the back of our minds we are always thinking how we could be on a different level and have a better time with coke or molly.
> drugs unlocked the epic limitless pill in my brain bro!! you are like le virgin if you dont smoke crack!!!!
You better have tried meth and heroin at least once. Youre not a virgin, are you?
>You better have tried meth
I've smoked meth a couple of times
and heroin at least once.
I've done oxycodone which is similar I guess.
>Youre not a virgin, are you?
no
Post body and don't forget to wash your foreskin you nerd
I have so much pent up sexual frustration that I'd go feral and drain myself into even a fake doll like the one pictured in OP
U need therapy homosexual
Seeing people in clubs/festivals/concerts/whatever having fun dancing and singing makes me so fucking jealous and depressed.
I really want to do what they do and have fun but it just can't bring myself to do it and it just doesn't seem natural to me which FUCKING SUCKS since it's such a common way everywhere to meet new people and have fun and actually get some pussy. Meanwhile I see this shit and just sit awkwardly in the corner while others harass me to go dance. I just end up completely avoiding any kind of party and having fun because I just don't know how to. I feel like a fucking alien or robot. There is so much fresh teen pussy in my city everywhere in clubs but I just don't fit in there.
I feel the same way, but I realize it's all in my head and stems from a deeper trauma experienced earlier in my life that gave me a complex about being around people and letting loose. I know I'd probably figure out how to get by and maybe even enjoy it, but going it alone and potentially getting caught off guard by something I'm not equipped to deal with holds me back.
Music festivals let you show off your gains.
I would suggest doing legs before the first day.
For 2/3 day festivals, you're gonna likely be at a deficit, so just focus on enjoying the music.
Maybe some yoga or calisthenics but when you arrive, you're either gonna look good or not, and nothing you do the day of will change that.
Went to a festival once and honestly the amount of people was completely overwhelming. Like just a sea of people. Felt kind of gross, like it was impossible to be an individual. Went with m ex cause she was obsessed with some chode named flume. He looked xanaed out and dissosiated and he wasnt playing his music loud enough. The one song of his that i kinda liked beforehand he remixed and it was really bad.
Ive been to clubs and done all sorts of drugs and usually have a good time but festivals r gross.
Flume sucks live, but his album Skin is great, would recommend.
Okay someone sauce the literal semen demon op posted
The short version
You don't have to take drugs to enjoy the music
But if you are set on taking drugs anyways, a music festival is the top choice place to do it.
The festival isn't about drugs, but more of an excuse to take them, for those who were intent on doing it anyways
Escort I see tries to help me a little bit. Next time I see her she is going to take pics of me and make me look good for dating sites and stuff, that way it's not just selfies in my room. She suggested to meet people, and girls, I should go to festivals. I was very against this but this thread made me think about it for real.
Is it really OK to just go to one alone? Do random people talk to you? I feel like yeah there's tons of people, but no one is going to come up to me and make first contact. Is that wrong, or do people do that a lot at festivals? I've wanted to take drugs for a long time since I read certain drugs are relatively safe and can help with mental problems, so maybe I could make first contact anyway with my inhibitions lowered. I'm OK once that's started and I'm comfortable.
Don't take drugs for mental problems, especially not at a festival surrounded by complete strangers. That's a recipe for disaster, IMO.
just go to a festival you fucking pussy. everyone is going there to have fun so making friends for the day is easy.
i'm not sure what mental problems you have, but taking MDMA at a festival is something else. it has perfect synergy with the music, the vibes, the lights and sounds. it's a magical experience. but you dont NEED to have that to enjoy it, the festival just enhances the MDMA to its maximum potential. an awesome MDMA trip can pick you up out of some dark places and make you see life from a different perspective
It's not much fun without drugs, at minimum alcohol and actually enjoyable/addictive with hard drugs. Sober, you will get bored/sore feet/anxious unless you enjoy all of the Djs performing
So a festival is for talking to junkie retards, having sex with junkie retards, or dancing to dogshit music with junkie retards? Like... That's it? Thats living life and having fun? Holy shit thats pathetic
Touch grass
Post physique, I swear all you Jordan Peterson foreskin washers are dyel homosexuals with no sense of masculinity due to being raised by a single mother
Go to a straight edge hc festival then.
But tell me whats your way of living life and having fun? Shitposting on a bavarian cow pummeling forum?
you're asking that question as if that's all there is to life
So you wont answer me? Ok.
Of course life's not meaningless without festivals. But every culture, every little town, nearly every group has some kind of social gathering with music, fancy costumes and intoxication. It's a basic concept of human life.
American culture is so deracinated and meaningless that the only way for young people to gather together and feel a sense of camaraderie is through lascivious pseudo-orgies where they listen to loud, scratchy Black-derived music while permanently damaging their brains with "illegal" drugs.
America, where cultures go to die, and morals are destroyed. May China truly obliterate this satanic nation.
As if China isn't a fucking evil horrible shit place to live for most of the people.
Ever think that maybe the reason you think that is because you live under a regime, like any other regime, that seeks to make it's subjects believe that the regime is the best thing that ever happened to them and that all other regimes are bad? Hm?
Just because America chooses empty abstract phrases like "equality for all" and "freedom and liberty" doesn't actually mean that's what it stands for, not that those things are even desirable or achievable in the first place. They're empty catchphrases after all. It's simply an aesthetic this system chooses, because it believes it's the best illusory lie for the masses to remain content.
>live under a regime, like any other regime, that seeks to make it's subjects believe that the regime is the best thing that ever happened to them and that all other regimes are bad? Hm?
This does not sound like China at all!
Being sober at a festival sucks. You end up being the guy trying to prevent your group from doing retarded shit and getting kicked out.
>t. was just the guy who was sober at a festival
>had to convince a girl who was crashing hard on E to go to the med tent instead of staying in the hot crowd
>had to tell a drunk retard that it was a bad idea to try and go backstage
>had to tell another drunk retard that throwing water bottles and bags full of ice in the air was a bad idea
>had to break up a fight between two more drunk retards
>had to tell the same drunk retard that was throwing shit to stop "moshing" by the water area
because all of these festivals and normie gatherings are actually boring as fuck, but since extroverts need company more than anything, they take drugs to cope with it
meanwhile, autists and introverts feel genuine happiness playing vidya, reading books, watching movies etc. and being by themselves
this infuriates the normoids and they have to invade autists spaces like SwoleShack (formerly SwoleShack) or try to bully them irl and deny them the monetary compensations that they are owed for having a higher mental state and being the next step in evolution (autists are designed to live in harmony with AI and machines)
this is wrong.
read thomas mann, then nietzsche, then hegel (since you claim to get so much genuine enjoyment out of such insular pursuits) and then realize that you're living in a lie and that repressing your passionate side is a suicidal shrowd slowly suffocating you.
can't tell if actually retarded or high iq troll
anyone who says such garbage as
is a fucking blind delusional asshole who is leading perfectly healthy young men lurking this shithole of a website down dark paths.
you exist in this world. you live among others. you are one of them. you cant live for yourself alone.
thats a dude
