All I was, was just a Japan worshipping otaku.
Dime a dozen really, I'm not even one of the best. I'm one of the laziest. Many others put me to shame in terms of their dedication (and I mean true dedication not shit posting) to learning Japanese and immersing themselves in Japanese culture.
@knajjd is right. In 1-2 months I'd be forgotten, no one would bring me up again.
That's just the way of the world. In high school you could have best friends but often you drift apart and never see them again, you still like them, but it just happens you spread away.
That's why people need to do things that will build a lasting legacy.
Even the girls I would ascend with when I spend a month in Tokyo. When I move to Japan I might never see them again. I would've loved them and they would've loved me but it would only be for a short time.
They will find boyfriends and husbands and move on, I'd just be another lover they had.
Even the people in my discord who are my brothers. They might grow bored, stop logging in, quit my server, stop talking, leave discord.
Doesn't mean I don't like them or they don't like me. People just move on.
If I could lead my life in a way that I could find one Japanese woman to spend the rest of my life and have a family together then that's something that lasts.
Or someone building a company that's successful, that's something else that can last.
But friends, popularity, is all transitory.
To say I was nothing is not to denigrate myself or my time on incels.is which I enjoyed but more to say in the grand scheme of things what really matters is finding love.
For example someone could strive to be the top rank in a video game, they could be the best, but then the sequel comes out, people move to the new game, and none of the prestige that person attained means anything anymore.
You could be a Chad and have sex with a 1000 girls but it's just like the gamer. It's all transitory and it doesn't last.
So in my life if I could find something that would last, like that Japanese woman when I finally move there permanently, who would be with me forever.
Then I could say my life was well spent.
I don't write this thread with any animosity but merely philosophizing on what is truly important in life and what feels important at the time but really is just transitory and fleeting.
And this is all ModestyMaxxing because I agree with @knajjd I've got some narcissistic tendencies and as part of my JapanMaxxing I want to try to help myself with that because the Japanese are a very modest people despite often being extremely talented, they always downplay it.
I remember I had a RuneScape clan and a Gears of War 2 clan and it was fun while it lasted but it didn't last. We all drifted apart.
So I will enjoy things while I have them and try not to things for granted anymore
Of course I don't think you should have no narcissism because you need some self-confidence to get anything done and to value yourself but I could see with me how it could become a problem.
But I don't think it's too late for me to change because I'm aware of it.
I want to be the gentle boy I am I don't want to be the kind of person ER was. His narcissism was disgusting and also his undoing.
