What is there to do in life? I swear, I think I'm going to die of being bored. I spend about 14 hours per day sleeping. I have, like, 2 or 3 hobbies, watching anime, playing videogames, and guns. I can't watch anime or play videogames because my internet connection is shit, thus I can't play games because of lag nor download anime because it's slow. And I live in a 3rd world country which is too 3rd world country to allow guns, but not enough 3rd world country to see everyday illegal trade of guns. I sometimes wake up just to go to sleep 2 hours after I woke up, reaching an amount of about 18 hours asleep. Can anyone help me please.

Similar problem to OP, so I use this chance to unfold a little. I recently understood just how meaningless everything is and how simple and unentertaining people are (I've spent past couple of years in my very own bubble with an attitude that has allowed me not to care, so it's not really that I didn't know this stuff, more like I enjoyed being indifferent) and have started to think there's no reason not to kill myself. I've wasted my life (so far) and grown scared of both mental and physical pain, and this makes it very difficult to actually consider doing anything new, and as I want to stop doing what I've done so far (wasted time on the internet, read, played games) I'm horribly bored and a wreck in every imaginable way. I'm living controversial times here, I both wish to die and fear it more than anything. And I doubt there's anything I could do without overcoming my fear and I don't know how to do that. As such, what is there to do in life?

Read. You should be able to download PDF files relatively quickly. They're usually like 5MB max. A lot of stuff in the public domain is also available online, no downloading required.

>>4939688 Reading is boring to me, not because I'm an uncultured fuck, but because I don't influence with the characters. It's like I start reading it and halfway through it either because I know how it'll end, always, or because my favourite character got killed off, or the story took a turn I disliked and I threw it away. I feel pretty bad about dismissing every alternative and I thank you guys for them, but I'm really being honest.

OP, I feel your pain, although I sometimes think it's even worse in the first world. Our governments are basically nanny states, and pretty much all there is to do is go to clubs and drink if you're in the US and not in the "wild west" desolate areas. This is even shittier when you aren't 21 yet.

>>4939724 You gotta pick your books better, bro. If you can predict the plot, that usually means it's not good enough for you. Try some classics and not GoT.

>>4939724 You don't have to read fiction. Try non-fiction, there's plenty of interesting shit to find out about.

>>4939767 Let me add that you might wanna try comics/manga instead. And don't diss either, it's not just super heroes and nurutu, they're both rich mediums with many different works for everyone's taste, that take almost no time to download/read online.

>>4939788 >Recommend me something then. >I like sci-fi mostly because it's different from reality. I probably can't make a good recommendation because I don't like sci-fi, and like reading stuff that's realistic, and/or tells us something about reality even if it's not realistic. /lit/ has a really, really good fantasy/sci-fi book chart. I'll try to dig it out.

>>4939817 >what's there more today than "I Raped A Little Girl But She Was Actually A Succubus So She Raped Me!" or super edgy shounen with +350 chapters of 305 pages each. There are whole loads of good manga that don't fit those two descriptions, you just gotta look for them. I know, that might be a bit of a drag, but you're complaining about not having stuff to do, so the research might prove fun.

OP, some books by Johanna Sinisalo have been translated into English. Her style is very entertaining and almost all of her books include a scifi-y dimension, even though the basic setting is realistic. I'm not all that much into pure scifi, nor do I like books that are too tightly fastened to ~real life~, and Sinisalo's books have offered me the perfect combination of the two. I highly encourage you to check them out!

>>4939993 http://4chanlit.wikia.com/wiki/Recommended_Reading?file=Sci_fi_chart.jpg Here's the chart. If you want something other than sci-fi and fantasy, navigate around the site. /lit/'s taste is not perfect, but you're bound to find something interesting. I can't post the manga recommendation chart because it's too big for my crappy upload to handle.
