How to touch grass instead of playing Dark Souls
By SBA | Spooqui
In this guide that I thought on how to do in the shower i'll try to give you advice on how to go outside and get some real life pals to make your own real life gank squad.

(This guide is not intended to offend nor harm anyone by any means and it's just designed for the memes, some of this advice is kind of helpful for the people that want to take this guide in a serious manner, the rest are just memes.)

The whole point of this guide is being able to read the books I'm talking about, and Steam deletes the links because it finds them malicious. Apparently a Drive link with a PDF is malicious.
With that out of the way, if you're actually interested in the books or know of websites which Steam woudn't delete the links of for file sharing feel free to contact me on Discord (tag's spooqui, you're welcome) or comment in the guide.
I don't really how to call this
Are you tired of crying each time you enter the forums due to your eternal boredoom? Do you feel like your virtual friends don't satisfy you enough with their constant memeing and you want some people that are actually different? Then look no more! This guide will try to give you advice on how to leave that cave of yours and get your cool IRL ganksquad!

But first, we need to understand one thing, I don't give advice to people with social anxiety, (why? Because I just don't get them enough to give them proper advice) so if you have social anxiety, LEAVE THIS GUIDE RIGHT NOW!

The start
You guys already left? Well, that's some good news for the remaining people that are willing to read this, so let's start with some questions: Are you willing to improve yourself and feel emotional pain never before seen? If so, this guide is for you my dear reader!

First! Let's talk about the emotional distress you Might be causing to yourself! Many people that aren't able or struggle to socialize might be struggling with what I like to call an emotional feedback loop.
Now, there's someone better to explain this and I'm not going to act like I know EVERYTHING. So I'd like to share with you The Subtle Art of Not Giving a ♥♥♥♥ by Mark Manson.

The whole is amazing for what we're looking to achieve together and I BEG OF YOU to read it fully. Here's the book for ya'll and free! https://nibmehub.com/opac-service/pdf/read/The%20Subtle%20Art%20of%20Not%20Giving%20a%20Fck%20A%20Counterintuitive%20Approach%20to%20Living%20a%20Good%20Life%20by%20Mark%20Manson%20(z-lib.org).pdf Oh boy I sure hope Steam doesn't just delete this like usual


The page we're looking for right now is page 8/150:


There’s an insidious quirk to your brain that, if you let it, can drive you
absolutely batty. Tell me if this sounds familiar to you:
You get anxious about confronting somebody in your life. That anxiety
cripples you and you start wondering why you’re so anxious. Now you’re
becoming anxious about being anxious. Oh no! Doubly anxious! Now you’re
anxious about your anxiety, which is causing more anxiety. Quick, where’s
the whiskey?
Or let’s say you have an anger problem. You get pissed off at the
stupidest, most inane stuff, and you have no idea why. And the fact that you
get pissed off so easily starts to piss you off even more. And then, in your
petty rage, you realize that being angry all the time makes you a shallow and
mean person, and you hate this; you hate it so much that you get angry at
yourself. Now look at you: you’re angry at yourself getting angry about being
angry. ♥♥♥♥ you, wall. Here, have a fist.
Or you’re so worried about doing the right thing all the time that you
become worried about how much you’re worrying. Or you feel so guilty for
every mistake you make that you begin to feel guilty about how guilty you’re
feeling. Or you get sad and alone so often that it makes you feel even more
sad and alone just thinking about it.
Welcome to the Feedback Loop from Hell. Chances are you’ve engaged
in it more than a few times. Maybe you’re engaging in it right now: “God, I
do the Feedback Loop all the time—I’m such a loser for doing it. I should
stop. Oh my God, I feel like such a loser for calling myself a loser. I should
stop calling myself a loser. Ah, ♥♥♥♥! I’m doing it again! See? I’m a loser!
Argh!”


Thanks Mark Manson for being such a nice buddy and helping Souls fans achieve nirvana since 2024.
A book on how to socialize for the most socially inept
After you let Marky cook in your mind and read the entire book, we have MORE work to do. You should now feel accomplished as I can see you've became a decent human being, at least mindset wise. You're still an a-hole ngl.
So I was thinking... What if I gave you ANOTHER interesting book for you to read and introduce you even MORE TO SELF IMPROVEMENT AND EDUCATIONAL BOOKS? Yeah you probably aren't really interested.

Anyways here's the book I'm talking about, it's supposed to be about how to make GIRLS chase you, but the advice is so broad that it could be applied to any type of relationship really. But if you want to apply it to get some maidens, sure.

How not to depend on your new pals
Y'know, there's one thing that complicates things up with people that don't have much friends, and that's is their co-dependency. But first, let me get you an EXTREME example:


As you may have seen here I was afraid of not being able to talk with my ''possible love partner'' for a few hours, thanks to that he blocked me on Steam. The question is, how do you avoid doing this? Well, this is quite the complex question for me, but I personally think that if you tell your mind that you'll see her/him tomorrow and that nothing will happen. Accept that other people live lives, and that those lives are as important as yours. Accept that as much as you don't want your time wasted, they don't want it either, accept that you're just a meaningless colorful ant in a giant world awaiting for you to explore it.
Setting yourself objectives
There's another big issue that people have when socializing besides fear of judgement I wanted to point out here though, that one is having the will to stay the activity in question.

An interesting way I found out is setting yourself daily missions, (Like in an RPG!) reward yourself with things you consider will keep you doing the activity, like playing more Dark Souls, watching porn or something idk man, it's your choice.

I think a good way to implement this into your daily life is putting a goal on the top, and then splitting it into little branches of it's own. Like a tree! Or an archtree more like...
You want to get a girlfriend? How would you do that? If you don't know, what do you think you'd need to improve? If it's everything, you gotta start with SOMETHING. So start branching out!
This is it for now
I plan on adding more things into this guide if I get more ideas on how to make degenerates improve psychologically!.

why touch grass when I can touch myself instead

That's not grass, those are the rests of shitters and glitchers turned into grass. Watch out what you're touching dude, that's probably radioactive!
