Opposite for me. I'm 31, and nobody believes I'm older than 23. I've been called kid by people younger than me several times.
Didn't know I had a boyish face for a long time, and I have a lot a facial hair.
>31 years old >have accomplished absolutely zero in any aspect of my life >think all day every day about how far behind I am from everyone else in my position, how I wasted the most important formative years of my life and will never get any memories back, how hopeless I am, and how desperately I need to commit suicide
might as well have. i dont even want to talk about it. im so humiliated and ashamed. its over.
this is why the mind makes a wonderful servant and a terrible master.
external circumstances can make your life easier/harder, but only you can make your life bad.
true. and in my case it was the external circumstances making my life harder that made me give up and make my life horrendous.
>its over.
this statement is self-fulfilling.
the only way it becomes true or false is with your permission.
absolutely true. i had the feeling of "its over" since i was around 19-20 years old, so of course thats that i ended up like. im an incomprehensible dumbass.
I'm in the same position. 31 and haven't accomplished shit. Genuinely, try a carnivore diet with lots of organ meat and optional fruit. It essentially cured me of self-doubt and suicidal depression. Give it a try before you give up. What do you have to lose?
thats a lot more effort to work with than i put in to anything. i would prefer to just stop eating and waste away and die.
>and in my case it was the external circumstances making my life harder that made me give up and make my life horrendous.
well, it's good that you're still here. you'll have second chances until you die.
another thing about the mind is that it hates making commitments. commitment takes willpower.
you may find that your brain gives up on giving up after long enough, lol.
good luck.
>i would prefer to just stop eating and waste away and die.
fasting can be VERY mentally beneficial, actually
just gotta keep up with your electrolytes for that.
when you're mired in grief or humiliation or dread, the best thing to do in my experience is to get into a flow state somehow. all this means is something engaging which gives immediate feedback that you can feel.
rhythm games, working out, composing music, carving a statue, circuit design, fricking basket-weaving, whatever.
the point is to short-circuit your train of thought by keeping your brain pinned to the present moment. if you're lucky, maybe you could learn some skills or pick up a hobby in the process.
Well start today. You have up to 50 years left, may as well do something in that time.
It's so easy to fall into gooning. Never in the history of evolutionary existence has it been possible to see so many naked women doing so many things so easily. Ever think that maybe we're the normal ones and the others have sold their souls and humanity? I'm not saying it's okay, I'm saying maybe it was all just part of your journey, as corny as that may sound.
Mark this point in time, and instead of thinking how far behind you are every day, try checking how far behind you are starting from today, or tomorrow. Cause you could start outperforming someone sitting on millions of dollars and a big career, but it won't show for a long time. So instead of beating yourself up over past mistakes, start right now. Of course if you do start messing up from now, then feel guilty about it and hopefully that will start putting you right again.

>what do you have to lose?
I’m 27 and this is how I’ve been thinking about literally everything.
What do I have to lose?
I hit rock bottom a while ago, broke up with my gf, moved in with my mom and got back into school.
I’ve lost everything.
I’m just trying to rebuild my life from the ground up.
I feel like a bum, but after multiple failed suicide attempts, what do I have to lose?
I’ve kind of begun to consider myself completely detached from my old life, knowing that I’ll never get it back.
It’s still not too late for me to make something new, and even if my life is unconventional I just need to be happy.
I mean, I hit rock bottom and then got back into school so I can pretend like I’m doing something.
I still have literally no idea what I want to do/ what field I should work towards.
I’m honestly just going to school to go to school.
Leftover money from grants allows me to contribute to things around the house (food, vet bills, maintenance), but that’s going to run out as soon as I finish my AA.
On the bright side, I’m not terrified of debt anymore (because I can always just an hero), but I still don’t want to bury myself under a mountain of debt for a degree I’m not certain about/ that won’t make me any money.
Honestly the state of the economy has me pretty fricked up, and I’m crushed that I’ll likely never own my own home.
Things are so fricked and I’m just trying to separate myself from even thinking about it at all and just living in the moment and being happy with what’s in front of me.
If I start thinking too hard about things I just end up getting really, really depressed.
I have absolutely no idea what I want to do and feel like I’m running in place.
The people around me are “proud” of me for ceasing constantly fricking up, but I feel like I stopped living for myself a long time ago.
I wish I had any kind of direction or hope.
Degree inflation. Without industry experience and only a BSc I am really not that attractive when they have a bunch of people with MSc lined up. Should've gotten into a trade.
Literally me except I don't regret missing on the normie schizo carousel. I see the people around me neurotically dealing with their npc sidequests, dealing with mortgages, dealing with b***hy wives and dimb kids, with career ladders, with social pantomime and all other crap, while I just enjoy being a 32 year old manchild, reading, working out, and preparing to an hero once it all gets too boring
your options aren't "get railroaded into a miserable life" or "become a nihilist".
there are much better justifications for doing whatever the frick you want than "nothing matters".
nihilism ironically requires pride, which is going to limit the freedom you would otherwise have by casting aside expectation.
Never said I'm proud of my choices in life (also I'm an ugly manlet and poor so it's not like I had many to begin with), all I'm saying is that a typical "successful" life with milestones you're supposed to accomplish to be a big boi doesn't seem to be all that desirable. Then again maybe it's just an outsider perspective, maybe brads amd marks of the world feel really fulfilled spinning their hamster wheels on the daily.
im more worried about the people reading. you seem relatively content.
i didn't mean to judge what you said, just trying to provide alternatives which people here aren't shown.
Most normal people are miserable, no question. They drift through life without ever really making any major decisions for themselves, and they do everything that's expected of them: career, mortgage, wife/gf, kids, death. It sounds like hell because for many, it is. However, there are different levels of hell. It could be that you're one of the rare exceptions, but it's simply a fact of human nature that most of us will know a profound, singular misery if we reach a certain age with no romantic partner and no kids. And of course, if you don't have some reliable source of income, you'll also experience a special sort of hell. Though obviously, escaping the wagie cage, a path most normies don't even consider, is preferable if you can pull it off.
Tl;dr: There's a reason why most people follow the same path in life. We're all human, and we all have the same basic drives and desires.
Lol
There are people in the world that have never left their village, people with zero possessions, people born with debilitating disabilities… Success is subjective and you need to stop caring what your materialist narcissistic society deems respectable. Lets face it, you’re a coward. You had plenty of opportunities to advance in various aspects of your life but you felt safer playing video games in your room. You probably moved out of your parents but you have a deadend job you hate. I bet you think your current situation is just stable enough you would never actually commit to anything that would break the status quo. But why do you care so much? No one can really know if youre living life the wrong way. Do something crazy man, go skydiving, throw a rock through a corporate office window, quit your job and live on the streets. Stop being such a coward or youll be posting this same thing in 10 years from the same chair after a shift at the same job.
Little b***h, with enough grit you could turn around and leave your more accomplished peers behind in 3 years, 5 if you are lazy.
By 36 you could have everything, just stop being a b***h loser, boo hoo i'm too old, do something about it or frick off and die.
A man with sheer will can start from zero at 40 and have it all by 42
kek same, worst part for me is I had the perfect girl just a month ago, and gave her up saying I wasn't good enough for her because I was a loser and haven't accomplished anything in life. even though I had her at the time and she tried convincing me otherwise
this sounds like literally the exact thing i would do. although the context of this (if this girl is early 20s and you're some early 30s loser) is it weird to me why someone like that would even want to be around you. probably bpd or something
she had a history of dating losers. I think she was one of those who had the need to "fix" someone. I should've just let her though because she was a hot 22 year old with 32DDD breasts and gave amazing head. usually my only options are girls that weigh 50 pounds more than me
If you start today, by the time you're 40 you can achieve relative success. Frick b***hes until you're 50 then. 10 years is plenty enough to get tired of them, trust me.
Hell yeah anon. Frick the morons. I'm 37 in January and I'm off to bang a horny 24 year old tonight and I also got in the best shape of my life this year and am making 6 figures now.
HOW are all you anons making six figures? I’m so fricking trapped in poverty and have no idea how to wrench myself out of it.
I just need a chance, god damn it.

Feels good. I'm highly asocial and self-isolate though, so the attention I've started to get (due to being 6'4 and fit) when I'm outside is making me really struggle since I'm not used to women throwing themselves at me like. I swear to god all that needs to happen is that a big titty one does and unless I've just cum and have a clear head then I'm fricked.
I don't remember being as much of a gay as the average zoomer when I was 20...
I'd still sell a kidney to turn the clock back with what I know now.
Any 20 year guys reading this, be as productive as you can be now and don't waste money on stupid fricking cars and shitty dumb shit.
A car has never gotten me laid and I have so much fricking crap I've accumulated from buying dumb shit.
im a 20 y/o moron zoomer and i have no idea what im doing
all i do is go to the gym and work. i live with my parents, i don't go to college, i don't do anything fun
i have 30k in investments
im a mailman
i feel like i have nothing to look forward to in life
wtf should i do

You're unironically leagues ahead of a lot of these guys here who are 5 or 10 or 15 years older than you who >don't have a job >don't have a penny to their name >don't even lift
Plus you're 20. You're practically a baby. You will have plenty of fun and plenty to look forward in life if you don't frick it up by frogposting your 20s away.
Sure they do anon.
They also all do 2/3/4/5 for reps natty and go home to their harem of supermodel wives.

Bro it sounds like you had a rough start and against the odds you made a decent life for yourself.
You’re on your come up right now, don’t let the depression slow you down, just keep going forward.
You’re making it.
Stagnation and complacency is akin to death.
I think about this shit all the time, and then I think about how much of a piece of shit I’ll feel like doing the same shit at 40 looking back on myself now.
Sometimes that’s enough to make me get up off my ass and go do something.
Sometimes.
hes not talking about the education dumbass, its the experience. i would be depressed as shit if i went to some garbage pail community college to save money and missed those years of living in a dorm with horny singles literally the next door down. those experiences is priceless.
i went to an uni and genuinely learned more by shitposting on IST instead of attending lectures though i will admit that having someone who will answer your questions is nice.
it is, but normies don't think it is. Getting a degree helped me out a ton in getting internships and full time jobs. Normies care about the piece of paper and you have to play ball with normies to get most jobs
I wish I had the balls to do this. I have started fudging some of my skills though because HR is moronic and some of the skills aren't even applicable to some jobs I've applied for.
Do not do this. I thought the same thing, as nobody checked my credentials or anything and there was more pay for master's degrees vs bachelor's. Then 2 weeks in I got an email to confirm my education, had to enter in my school and graduation date and stuff and it contacted the school to verify. If I lied I would have definitely been fired, and possibly it's a crime as well. Companies are not as stupid as you think
I went to college directly from high school after being a top student for my childhood. The only thing college did for me was prove that I was going to be a pathetic worthless loser for my entire life. I didn’t have any goals for a degree/career despite being a top student and my parents forced me to go anyway. After 4 years of no social development and struggling through a worthless degree because of how miserable I was and my parents not caring, I knew as soon as I graduated that my life was over. And that’s exactly what happened. I know it’s a self filling prophecy or whatever but it’s what happened and it destroyed my life.
I need it to get a stable job, unfortunately the piece of paper is needed to work for the state (I already have a master's but I need another one).
The work I'm doing now it's just taking its toll on me, I'll frick around and burn some money for a couple of years then a permanent, safe job is basically guaranteed.
it's fricking arrogant to call your life hopeless. none of you can predict anything of this regard, the future is just too chaotic, and humans live for too long. anything can change at any time, including your brain. just do random shit, and fight for the products of that random shit which make your life more worthwhile. you can literally take that simple of an approach, and you win over a long enough timespan. the specifics don't matter.

Hey bro haha I happen to be 31 years old aswell. Let’s goooo bro. Godspeed anon. My gf and I broke up and I have nostalgia daydreaming 24/7 on how awesome it was. I even went on a date last night with a mid girl(good manners) but I still couldn’t get the thoughts of ex away. Haha let’s go brooo
And take meaningful actions like quitting drinking/drugs/pornography, find productive and creative hobbies, only come on IST during morning coffee, and get under 12% bodyfat. You can too. But my morning coffee is empty now, cheers until maybe tomorrow.
Do the complete opposite of what a lot of the morons in this thread did. IE, do something with your life instead of apparently staring at a wall and posting frogs for 10 years.
Most of you posters are men. You can turn your life around at any age with some self confidence and minoxidil (or transplants). As a post wall virgin woman it’s truly fricking over for me. My only option is to climb the career ladder and botoxmaxx as a nuclear cope for not being able to get a decent guy. I really hope to earn enough to OD on cocaine in my 40s.
if you change your lifestyle it will reflect on your looks. i have a colleage who is 43 yet she looks younger (and cuter!) than most of the girls my age. age really is just a number.
>looks younger (and cuter!) than most of the girls my age
If you’re honest about your age as an elderly roastoid you get filtered out by guys with standards on dating apps. My mother told me to lie about my age to increase my chances with guys but what kind of guy would be okay with a serial liar?
first of all you shouldn't use dating apps even if it may seem easy to find someone on those apps. for lack of a better term you will get 'pumped and dumped'. best way to meet someone is through hobbies or friends. most other options will lead you down the road of misery. godspeed, anon!
Don’t listen to this. Dating apps are a great way to meet MEN who are interested in dating. If not using apps just be more open to making the first move on a cute introvert.
>Dating apps are a great way to meet MEN who are interested in dating
yea beta losers who are too afraid to approach girls irl maybe. you shouldn't interact with such men anyway. apps cause even greater divide between the chad and the virgin.

I am literally praying to get cancer or the courage to kill myself. I need to buy a suicide kit or get the courage to jump off a building. Maybe I should do a sky drive and then deliberately not open the parachute
You can lose it all in a moment. Material possessions, your women, your health and looks, social status. Every man has his own story, but don't associate your happiness with external things which are always temporary.
I understand, thank you anon. I am grateful to god every day for what I have. I don't take any for granted. There is a reason in everything. Best of luck brother.
It’s at the point now where it doesn’t even matter anymore. I have no memories to look back on from my childhood, teens, or twenties. All I have to look back on is complete regret and shame. Even if I was to magically get self confidence and motivation now at 32, it won’t matter. All I will think about is my wasted life, how I’m at least a decade behind everyone else, and how there’s no point. I don’t even want to achieve the goals that normal people want to achieve. I don’t care anymore about having friends, having a wife, having a family, wanting to have successful hobbies, having a house, having a career, doing well financially, making parents proud.

I'm in the same place, bro. But you know, frick it. I will devote my life to make it. I'll be dead one day so there's no time to waste. From your entire bloodline, it's you who had it easier. You can't imagine the hurdles and pain that your ancestors went through just for you to exist. And you will sit and b***h about how hard you've had it? b***h at least try. Just develop a high paying skill and in 2-3 tears you will be good. You will still have some years to make it. Even if it doesn't go as planned, you will have a skill and would have achieved something, I stead of being the exact same you but 2-3 years older and more behind
Anons thread was deleted before so could respond but I’m 28, neet, and I feel stuck. I feel like lifting and trying to get my shit in order is a lost cause
[...]
I’m in a very similar position same age highly considering faking resume at this point to have more recent experience. Plan is to make fake resume with friends as references or just blow $150 on several burner phones and simply don’t pick up if they call. Get real experience, update resume, get new job, and so on until it’s all genuine experience. I’m at a point of desperation which I just don’t care anymore, I’m ready to do some scummy shit I would have previously scoffed at and considered degenerate and pathetic just to get what I want and need.
It has never been this hard to get a job. I’ve been applying for over a year, hundreds of applications sent. Nothing. I’ve started resorting to applying for retail positions just to have some income and a routine that’s not just exercise, sunlight, sit in my room all day feeling anxious about life and being neet still, and even fricking retail isn’t take me. I’ve made multiple resumes all constructed for specific job types and fields. I have 7 years in retail and customer service so I would think me sucking it up to take a min wage retail gig would be easy but no. I used to get hired within 1-3 weeks of needing a new job, it used to take less than 10 applications for me. Idk what’s going on. I feel like I’m turning into my parents, mad that this has been an issue for the last two years and how fricked up things are yet we take millions of illegals every year anyways.
Matter of fact, I need to test something. I’m making several fake resumes and I’m going to apply as black, trans, hispanic and just see if my suspicions are correct. I will fricking seethe if they are.
>I’m making several fake resumes and I’m going to apply as black, trans, hispanic and just see if my suspicions are correct
Save yourself the effort I did this 4 months ago and sure enough I had emails and calls back within the week, even from places the fake ones obviously didn’t qualify for meanwhile I applied to those same jobs with my real resume which met all standards and didn’t hear shit back. I went so far as to make the fake resumes as shitty as possible with misspelled words and barely organized properly. Idgaf what any liberal Sסy wants to b***h and moan about, this is the reality right now and it’s plain as day. Keep pushing dude you’ll make it, and you’ll be better for it rather than it being easier(read:not as unnecessarily difficult as it is right now). It sucks but there’s not much anyone can do about this. Took me 18 months to get an interview which I thankfully aced and landed the job with two months ago.
I’m 30 and have avoidant personality disorder. It has rendered my entire life worthless. I haven’t had friends since childhood and even then I never had a lot. I have never had a relationship sex or even the smallest romantic experience. I have wasted my life at a humiliating job where I have developed barley any skills or money, and I’m terrified to do a job interview where I expose how useless I am. I’m terrified to answer questions about myself in a social or professional environment and don’t want to expose myself to development situations that most people did a decade or more before because everyone will see how much of a pathetic manchild I am. I more or less hide from everyone and every thing.
Thats where I went, I had such a bad time in highschool that I was just happy to be left alone in college, majored in CS and got a WFH job for the last 3 years; I'm making 100k+ rn and have my own house at 26 but I have no friends and no relationship. could be worse ig but I don't know where to start tbh. I even have a home gym in my garage, ( cause I was too nervous to go into a real one for too long 🙁 )and I'm not super fat, I literally talk to like 3 people a day, and thats just for the "daily standup" where you talk about what you did yesterday and what you will do today. 🙁
Thanks bro, it doesn't feel like it though; its like college filters out the turbo autists and chucks them into various STEM degrees, and CS is arguably the most socially isolating. Its like I unconsciously steer all my decisions away from social interactions; from when I prefer to be awake, when I go shopping, my hobbies and interests, my jobs. Literally all single player. I am succeeding in everything, it prob looks great on paper, its just all completely independent of anyone else. I find it easier to type than actually speak at this point. I actually did ask a girl if she was seeing anyone recently, but through email lol. she was in a relationship already though, but was nice about it. There is something wrong with my lifestyle, it sucks because I thought I was doing good
It can always be worse man. I’m 31 and I’m stuck with the first woman who agreed to date me. I dropped out of community college after the first month and I’ve been larping that I’m a sociologist/philosopher for a decade now because my advisor told me to just make my major psychology until I figure out what I wanted to do. My wife is obese and takes 3 different antidepressants and an antipsychotic for the made up mental health issues she lies about having to control people. Those pills cause her to behave horribly. She doesn’t work, and I have to provide for us both on my sub $30/hr wage cuck. I have to do all the house work, I get slapped and punched by her any time I try to set boundaries or speak up, my friends all laugh at me behind my back or have abandoned me, and I refuse to change anything because I’m honestly just terrified of being alone. I have abandonment issues. My wife has attempted suicide 5 times since we started dating 8 years ago and she will most likely end her life before we’re even 50. I just know when that happens I’m offing myself too. And this will be my entire legacy. A fat 5’ balding loser who couldn’t make it in life and the best I could amount to was making a life with an unbearable mentally unstable prostitute. I’m drunk right now but any other time I cope and larp about being happy in life. But I am not. I’m miserable, and I honestly long for the day she offs herself so I too can do it. I’m sure I will pussy out and blame others for it though.
Wow this is uncanny my cousin has that exact life situation to almost a T. I’ve tried to help him but he never listens. Do you have any advice one what I could say to him before he’s too far gone?
as a husband it is your responsibility to lead your wife. You are entirely responsible for your situation, which I understand is hard to hear, but the white pill is that fixing your entire situation is within your control. Pray to God for mental fortitude and the strength to do what you need to do to fix this. I believe in you anon.

OP, if your life is shit at 21 it might not be your fault.
If your life is shit at 31 it is absolutely your own fault.
Yeah honestly it’s pretty great.
Sorry to let you down.
It will be a real shame when you die having devoted your time, effort, decisions, and value system to a non-existent God rather than creating your own meaning in life with the people who are important to you.
Sure though, taking little Jayden and Brayden to hockey practice is definitely pleasing the Lord so even if you don’t want to do it, you’d better get to work!
Just strike a good balance of working hard when you need to work hard, and having fun the rest of the time.
That’s what I did and I’ll still be able to retire at 34. S’all good, friend.

Bear in mind I was basically a nobody incel up until I was about 28.
Anon I'm 32 this December. I fricked 49 women, i do mma, i lift and I have a kawasaki bike. Life is not over the moment you get into your 30s. Never stop improving yourself, never give up.
i have 0 motivation to improve my life because of my receding hair line. i was so attractive as a teenager and now i look disgusting like what is even the point
i lost my virginity at 32 and fricked 17 girls in that year
stay healthy and take care of yourself
men don't hit the wall until late 50s if you are healthy
I’m 33 working a big boy job earning 6 figures doing 7am to 5pm hours. I’m on the edge of quitting and living off the government while being on the curse of poverty and homelessness.
Working is hell on earth and I can’t do this any longer.
Why do you always see this binary on the internet between loser NEETs and high earning coders? Like there's no middle ground represented at all even though most people in life aren't either of these. It's kinda like how you never see anyone say they're 5'9 on the internet even though it's the average.
Some are honest losers, some are lying losers. A kind of incel gets his kicks from larping as elite. Yesterday there was a guy on /misc/ who claimed to be Brad Pitt's and Tom Cruise's plastic surgeron.
>like how you never see anyone say they're 5'9 on the internet even though it's the average.
If there's 10 men at 5'8 and 10 men at 5'10, the average is 5'9, despite that none of the men have that height.

Im going to keep hitting on young hotties no matter how old i get and how i uncomfortable i make them feel
This is their punishment for ignoring me when i was younger
Also the only reason i am getting fit is to beat the living crap out of normie simps if they interfere
I try to be open-minded when meeting strangers, and I try to think positively about them afterwards.
But holy crap. I met some like 34 year old yesterday. In school for CS, and wouldn't shut up about how he'll make "over $150k" when he's done and "over $200k" if he gets a master's degree. Improving your situation is great. Being insufferable talking about income is just autismo af.
Computer science and engineering autists are usually like that. Just money and nothing else since they have nothing else to talk about. You see it in here all the time too
I am 30 and I am still going to make it. Feel free to advise me on my situation/plans. >finished degree last year >instantly landed comfy wfh job >income a little below median (not sure if good or bad considering I am a starter) >live frugally at my parents house >save 80% of my income in etf and crypto >wasted my 20s as a gooner/video addict/antisocial/etc >currently working towards my drivers license >asked and actually acquired the number of a girl in driving school >instantly creeped her out due to being completely out of my depth >new plan is to visit public events/courses hosted by university or adult school to meet girls >lifting since early March >didn't properly cut yet besides adjusting diet heavily >still 25% bf >115kgx6 deadlift 10kgx8 weighted chin ups
Basically my body is still complete shit, but lifting gave me the confidence to ask for a number already and maybe I can repeat this success with a more realistic target that doesn't give me maximum stomach pain out of sheer goddess like beauty. I also don't know how to react to inevitable questions about my 20s, truth or some made up shit or make it into a muh depression sob story?
In the office you always meet the same people (let's not get into that nobody goes to the office and it's 80% males; not programming but infrastructure planning) that's why I'll attend courses and shit where you meet many different people, so wfh saves me a shit ton of time and energy to actually go where it matters instead of getting deleted by HR for making my corworkers uncomfortable. My biggest fear is that the courses offered by adult school will mostly be old people, but they aren't very expensive so I'll try it a couple of times. Sure maybe I can make some friends along the way, if I feel that would facilitate my endeavor. If I want to fake social media I have read that I can get Insta, buy followers and turn on private mode or something.
It's so fricked how you can ruin things for yourself before you're truly capable of understanding what needs to be done. I'm 28 and things are getting really good for me now (just bought a house etc) but it could have easily gone the other way
35 now. Work is great, married, and own a nice house. Bald and not sure I want kids though but need to decide soon. Life is better when you stop comparing yourself and just enjoy what you’ve got.
I am irredeemable and it doesn’t even matter anymore. All I think about all day every day is how worthless, pathetic, humiliated, and ashamed I am. In this mental state, there is no way I can do anything to fix my life. Everything is completely hopeless.
I envy people who somehow ruined all of their 20s and were able to recover, like it seems the guy above is in the process of doing, being a complete loser for his life and actually being able to pull it together, get a degree, start driving lessons, trying to meet people. I don’t know how you get the mental fortitude to do that.
>32 >still live at home >no wife >no kids >no car >no real accomplishments >no 40hr a week job >no career >no obligations >no responsibilities >eat great >look great >gorgeous milf frickbuddy
I've literally never felt better in my entire life. I'm hunting for a part time job to get out of my moms house but life has never been better. Frick expectations, frick the rat race, frick keeping up with your peers, just enjoy the small amount of time you have to be alive.
I’m jealous of you anon. Not because of your seemingly pathetic life, but because my life is nearly identical and all I think about is suicide for being in this position. I wish I could just be happy living like this.
One mans pathetic is another mans glory. I'd rather own nothing than be a 9-5 wagie. All the benefits of sacrificing the small amount of time you get in this life do not seem to be worth it (at least to me, anyone can do what they want i dont care). I'd take the Diogenes pill if I didn't fancy something a little bit better for myself shelter-wise.
Why are you suicidal? Desire is the root of suffering, what do you want, and why do you want it?
You're still here though so something is keeping you alive? Have you ever tried the thought experiment of visualising your ideal life? What's your average day like?
The fact the janny(s) kept this thread up tells me they're probably participating in it hahahahahah holy shit imagine unironically being on your fricking 30s and you patrol fricking IST in your spare time
You can hit all time lows in your 40's and 50's. At least around 30 to late 20's you still have a decade of getting shit together.
Even after all that you can still have it taken away from you...
I just turned 31 and got to buy my dream car (convertible stingray) and frick my favorite porn star (Nozomi Ono) this year. Also lost like 50 pounds since the beginning of the year. Been a pretty good year and I'll be spending my birthday with her and my other favorite girl from her brothel on my next japan trip. Felt good having girls in japanese bars throwing themselves at me too.
Remember how much people and life have constantly lied to you and you didn't know any better. Ever hear how people claim there's no point in learning violin unless you start as a kid. Just think of how shitty people are and how they want you to suffer with them. You ate it all up since you were a kid, you took it all in. But you're a man now and it's time to start meditating. Just imagine what you could do if you were able to do something nice for yourself. Imagine now if you could do something nice for someone or something else in your life. And how amazing life would be if we could all do something more for ourselves and others.
banging teen japanese femboys is pretty fricking based goal more people should strive for.
>If you were going to larp, you’d larp about cooler shit than this… Right?
Not a larp. Fantasized about doing this since I was a 15 year old that found the TS I Love You mangas on IST ages ago.

Talking to them afterwards is almost better than the fricking. Was cool talking about Madoka Magicka and JJK with one of them after fricking.
I feel really, really fricking bad for you if you’re just sitting in a basement making this shit up.
I’m praying this is real, because if you’re using all of your creative power to larp about fantasies so fricking cringe… I just don’t know what to say.
I'm not larping. I'm finishing up my lifting routine right now and then going on a joyride in my corvette on some edibles. Is it so hard to believe a 30 year old boomer bought a boomer car and went on a boomer sexpat trip?

I mean I'm doing good
Yeah you are.
What do you do for a living?
Sometimes when I’m thinking of ending it all I remember that I’ve never given things a shot outside of the US, and that there’s more to the world than our broken system.
If I was going to leave I would first have to get my shit together and make myself a desirable immigrant to another country, though.
You sound like you’re doing great and I’m happy for you, anon.
Thanks my friend, I was born and raised in Uruguay.
I got a degree in accounting and finance. I worked 3 years as a NetSuite Consultant and now work as a NetSuite Administrator as a contractor.
Where I live it costs 50 dollars to register your business. Go out there and kick some ass. Lot of people are desperate for good people to do good work and you'll be swimming in money and can make the life you want for yourself. Look at the sadfricks online and remind yourself of how hard people suck but you'll do better.
That’s legit one of the only reasons I’ve deemed a positive about sticking around.
In the states it is incredibly easy to start your own business.
I just need to find something I’m good at.
While I’m just putzing around, I’ve considered learning a trade in the mean time.
I think that would help me if I ended up starting my own business.
I just don’t have a product or service in mind.

Didn't have any of that when I first discovered IST in 2011 and was underweight, an addict, and failing all my classes. It genuinely changed my life trajactory, it's actually insane when I look back at where I was.
>27 years old >recovering drug addict loser moron >starting to get fit >social life with good friends >see music, do art, read books, stay mostly off phone and internet >girl wants to have seckz for the the first time in 2 years >dick doesn’t work
I was in the same situation after being a molly addict. TRT and losing like 100 lbs fixed it for the most part. Still pop a half a cialis if I need to frick multiple times in an hour or two though. Honestly, just using the cialis once or twice helped fix my confidence enough to not actually need it. Feels good recovering from being a drug addict though huh? I personally went from having nothing and no one to a bunch of friends who love me and a 6 figure job in the blink of an eye. Don't have a nice day, just keep pushing through. You'll make it before you know it.
Not that anon, but also a recovering addict who’s dick doesn’t work…
I really fricking wish I had insurance.
I kinda feel like “honestly, just using the cialis once or twice helped fix my confidence enough” bit is pretty relevant for me.
I haven’t had good sex in like five years and my nerves are tearing me apart.
You realize that cialis is generic and like a dollar a pill now right? Trtnation.com sells it at that price. See if you can just order the cialis from them. If not I hear blue chew is good too.
>How does that even work with no doctor involved?
You speak to the doctor over the phone. Its called telemedicine and somehow thats good enough for a prescription nowadays.

Opposite for me. I'm 31, and nobody believes I'm older than 23. I've been called kid by people younger than me several times.
Didn't know I had a boyish face for a long time, and I have a lot a facial hair.
For me its:

>think all day every day about how far behind I am from everyone else in my position, how I wasted the most important formative years of my life and will never get any memories back, how hopeless I am, and how desperately I need to commit suicide
what did you waste em on?
nothing, i wasted all of them on nothing. its over.
like you literally just stared at a wall?
might as well have. i dont even want to talk about it. im so humiliated and ashamed. its over.
true. and in my case it was the external circumstances making my life harder that made me give up and make my life horrendous.
absolutely true. i had the feeling of "its over" since i was around 19-20 years old, so of course thats that i ended up like. im an incomprehensible dumbass.
thats a lot more effort to work with than i put in to anything. i would prefer to just stop eating and waste away and die.
cmon what did you do? play computer games?
Sleep and jerk off
>and in my case it was the external circumstances making my life harder that made me give up and make my life horrendous.
well, it's good that you're still here. you'll have second chances until you die.
another thing about the mind is that it hates making commitments. commitment takes willpower.
you may find that your brain gives up on giving up after long enough, lol.
good luck.
>i would prefer to just stop eating and waste away and die.
fasting can be VERY mentally beneficial, actually
just gotta keep up with your electrolytes for that.
when you're mired in grief or humiliation or dread, the best thing to do in my experience is to get into a flow state somehow. all this means is something engaging which gives immediate feedback that you can feel.
rhythm games, working out, composing music, carving a statue, circuit design, fricking basket-weaving, whatever.
the point is to short-circuit your train of thought by keeping your brain pinned to the present moment. if you're lucky, maybe you could learn some skills or pick up a hobby in the process.
Well start today. You have up to 50 years left, may as well do something in that time.
It's so easy to fall into gooning. Never in the history of evolutionary existence has it been possible to see so many naked women doing so many things so easily. Ever think that maybe we're the normal ones and the others have sold their souls and humanity? I'm not saying it's okay, I'm saying maybe it was all just part of your journey, as corny as that may sound.
Mark this point in time, and instead of thinking how far behind you are every day, try checking how far behind you are starting from today, or tomorrow. Cause you could start outperforming someone sitting on millions of dollars and a big career, but it won't show for a long time. So instead of beating yourself up over past mistakes, start right now. Of course if you do start messing up from now, then feel guilty about it and hopefully that will start putting you right again.
I know what you did in that time, anon.
what did he do
He knows.
He knows that I know because I'm a failed normie too.
But I'm gonna let him spill the beans. I can't take his moment from him.
C'mon anon weeee're all waiting.
>its over.
this statement is self-fulfilling.
the only way it becomes true or false is with your permission.
this is why the mind makes a wonderful servant and a terrible master.
external circumstances can make your life easier/harder, but only you can make your life bad.
I'm in the same position. 31 and haven't accomplished shit. Genuinely, try a carnivore diet with lots of organ meat and optional fruit. It essentially cured me of self-doubt and suicidal depression. Give it a try before you give up. What do you have to lose?
>what do you have to lose?
I’m 27 and this is how I’ve been thinking about literally everything.
What do I have to lose?
I hit rock bottom a while ago, broke up with my gf, moved in with my mom and got back into school.
I’ve lost everything.
I’m just trying to rebuild my life from the ground up.
I feel like a bum, but after multiple failed suicide attempts, what do I have to lose?
I’ve kind of begun to consider myself completely detached from my old life, knowing that I’ll never get it back.
It’s still not too late for me to make something new, and even if my life is unconventional I just need to be happy.
>hit rock bottom
>got back into school
I mean, I hit rock bottom and then got back into school so I can pretend like I’m doing something.
I still have literally no idea what I want to do/ what field I should work towards.
I’m honestly just going to school to go to school.
Leftover money from grants allows me to contribute to things around the house (food, vet bills, maintenance), but that’s going to run out as soon as I finish my AA.
On the bright side, I’m not terrified of debt anymore (because I can always just an hero), but I still don’t want to bury myself under a mountain of debt for a degree I’m not certain about/ that won’t make me any money.
Honestly the state of the economy has me pretty fricked up, and I’m crushed that I’ll likely never own my own home.
Things are so fricked and I’m just trying to separate myself from even thinking about it at all and just living in the moment and being happy with what’s in front of me.
If I start thinking too hard about things I just end up getting really, really depressed.
I have absolutely no idea what I want to do and feel like I’m running in place.
The people around me are “proud” of me for ceasing constantly fricking up, but I feel like I stopped living for myself a long time ago.
I wish I had any kind of direction or hope.
Same but I'm 26, graduating from Uni next year when I'm 27. Hoping life gets better once I have my own place.
This was me but only graduating with a BSc in engineering. Didnt get a job after a whole year of applying and now back to uni for MSc.
Wtf, you couldn't get a job as an engineer?
I have something lined up thankfully (finance major).
Degree inflation. Without industry experience and only a BSc I am really not that attractive when they have a bunch of people with MSc lined up. Should've gotten into a trade.
Did you do an internship while in Uni?
What was your GPA?
Literally me except I don't regret missing on the normie schizo carousel. I see the people around me neurotically dealing with their npc sidequests, dealing with mortgages, dealing with b***hy wives and dimb kids, with career ladders, with social pantomime and all other crap, while I just enjoy being a 32 year old manchild, reading, working out, and preparing to an hero once it all gets too boring
your options aren't "get railroaded into a miserable life" or "become a nihilist".
there are much better justifications for doing whatever the frick you want than "nothing matters".
nihilism ironically requires pride, which is going to limit the freedom you would otherwise have by casting aside expectation.
false dilemmas are a great way to neutralize introspective people, by the way.
"the pinnacle of warfare approaches the formless"

Never said I'm proud of my choices in life (also I'm an ugly manlet and poor so it's not like I had many to begin with), all I'm saying is that a typical "successful" life with milestones you're supposed to accomplish to be a big boi doesn't seem to be all that desirable. Then again maybe it's just an outsider perspective, maybe brads amd marks of the world feel really fulfilled spinning their hamster wheels on the daily.
im more worried about the people reading. you seem relatively content.
i didn't mean to judge what you said, just trying to provide alternatives which people here aren't shown.
Most normal people are miserable, no question. They drift through life without ever really making any major decisions for themselves, and they do everything that's expected of them: career, mortgage, wife/gf, kids, death. It sounds like hell because for many, it is. However, there are different levels of hell. It could be that you're one of the rare exceptions, but it's simply a fact of human nature that most of us will know a profound, singular misery if we reach a certain age with no romantic partner and no kids. And of course, if you don't have some reliable source of income, you'll also experience a special sort of hell. Though obviously, escaping the wagie cage, a path most normies don't even consider, is preferable if you can pull it off.
Tl;dr: There's a reason why most people follow the same path in life. We're all human, and we all have the same basic drives and desires.
Lol
There are people in the world that have never left their village, people with zero possessions, people born with debilitating disabilities… Success is subjective and you need to stop caring what your materialist narcissistic society deems respectable. Lets face it, you’re a coward. You had plenty of opportunities to advance in various aspects of your life but you felt safer playing video games in your room. You probably moved out of your parents but you have a deadend job you hate. I bet you think your current situation is just stable enough you would never actually commit to anything that would break the status quo. But why do you care so much? No one can really know if youre living life the wrong way. Do something crazy man, go skydiving, throw a rock through a corporate office window, quit your job and live on the streets. Stop being such a coward or youll be posting this same thing in 10 years from the same chair after a shift at the same job.
Little b***h, with enough grit you could turn around and leave your more accomplished peers behind in 3 years, 5 if you are lazy.
By 36 you could have everything, just stop being a b***h loser, boo hoo i'm too old, do something about it or frick off and die.
A man with sheer will can start from zero at 40 and have it all by 42
kek same, worst part for me is I had the perfect girl just a month ago, and gave her up saying I wasn't good enough for her because I was a loser and haven't accomplished anything in life. even though I had her at the time and she tried convincing me otherwise
this sounds like literally the exact thing i would do. although the context of this (if this girl is early 20s and you're some early 30s loser) is it weird to me why someone like that would even want to be around you. probably bpd or something
she had a history of dating losers. I think she was one of those who had the need to "fix" someone. I should've just let her though because she was a hot 22 year old with 32DDD breasts and gave amazing head. usually my only options are girls that weigh 50 pounds more than me
why would you ever send some shit like that bro cmon
If you start today, by the time you're 40 you can achieve relative success. Frick b***hes until you're 50 then. 10 years is plenty enough to get tired of them, trust me.
I'm 35 and in the best shape of my life since varsity wrestling. Probably happier now than then to boot.
WAGMI
Not OP but I'm also 31 and started working out seriously in july, so thank you anon
Hell yeah anon. Frick the morons. I'm 37 in January and I'm off to bang a horny 24 year old tonight and I also got in the best shape of my life this year and am making 6 figures now.
HOW are all you anons making six figures? I’m so fricking trapped in poverty and have no idea how to wrench myself out of it.
I just need a chance, god damn it.

Feels good. I'm highly asocial and self-isolate though, so the attention I've started to get (due to being 6'4 and fit) when I'm outside is making me really struggle since I'm not used to women throwing themselves at me like. I swear to god all that needs to happen is that a big titty one does and unless I've just cum and have a clear head then I'm fricked.
Uh huh
When people like you find it unbelievable it just makes me know how good I have it.
My wife has started accompanying me in the gym now because she doesn't like the attention I usually get.

>>i have 30k in investments
>leagues ahead of a lot of these guys here who are 5 or 10 or 15 years older than you who
Nah, most of 30+ guys here make 100k a year minumum and even if they don't theres no way the have less than 30k in their bank account at 30.
Sure they do anon.
They also all do 2/3/4/5 for reps natty and go home to their harem of supermodel wives.
you mean 30 guys in total make 100k a year around here

It's tough out here, can't really say it's getting better but that may be the depression talking
Bro it sounds like you had a rough start and against the odds you made a decent life for yourself.
You’re on your come up right now, don’t let the depression slow you down, just keep going forward.
You’re making it.
Stagnation and complacency is akin to death.
>plenty to look forward in life if you don't frick it up by frogposting your 20s away.
i've been frogposting since i was 14
i frogposted my teens away

sometimes I wish my family stayed poor and never got internet
picrel is for all the anons
thank you anon, im glad you said this
i wanted to spend 10k on a car but now ill get something cheaper
I don't want to get a car to get laid, I just want to blind incoming traffic with cool LEDs and be quicker than everyone else off the line
Anon those reasons don't sound any better, arguably worse
How come?
You'll understand when you're older
Nice argument
I've been having dreams about going back to when I was 16. They're great, but it's a nightmare knowing it won't happen.
I think about this shit all the time, and then I think about how much of a piece of shit I’ll feel like doing the same shit at 40 looking back on myself now.
Sometimes that’s enough to make me get up off my ass and go do something.
Sometimes.
>35 years old
I'm 34 and I'll go back to uni next year
uni is a meme, bro.
only people who never went to uni say this
>I got suckered into wasting money on "higher education" that has zero application in real life therefore I must defend it till the day I die
hes not talking about the education dumbass, its the experience. i would be depressed as shit if i went to some garbage pail community college to save money and missed those years of living in a dorm with horny singles literally the next door down. those experiences is priceless.
I see college worked wonders for your grammar too
this guy subscribes to hustlers university
As legit as any university you paid tens of thousands of dollars of your dads money for
poor, uneducated cope
i went to an uni and genuinely learned more by shitposting on IST instead of attending lectures though i will admit that having someone who will answer your questions is nice.
it is, but normies don't think it is. Getting a degree helped me out a ton in getting internships and full time jobs. Normies care about the piece of paper and you have to play ball with normies to get most jobs
You can save a ton of money by lying about your education.
No one is going to call UW Green Bay to confirm your fake 3.4 gpa
I wish I had the balls to do this. I have started fudging some of my skills though because HR is moronic and some of the skills aren't even applicable to some jobs I've applied for.
Do not do this. I thought the same thing, as nobody checked my credentials or anything and there was more pay for master's degrees vs bachelor's. Then 2 weeks in I got an email to confirm my education, had to enter in my school and graduation date and stuff and it contacted the school to verify. If I lied I would have definitely been fired, and possibly it's a crime as well. Companies are not as stupid as you think
I'm sorry you didn't make the cut and that you're now poor as frick.
I went to college directly from high school after being a top student for my childhood. The only thing college did for me was prove that I was going to be a pathetic worthless loser for my entire life. I didn’t have any goals for a degree/career despite being a top student and my parents forced me to go anyway. After 4 years of no social development and struggling through a worthless degree because of how miserable I was and my parents not caring, I knew as soon as I graduated that my life was over. And that’s exactly what happened. I know it’s a self filling prophecy or whatever but it’s what happened and it destroyed my life.
O poor thing you had it so bad 🙁
You've been through a lot
Cry baby, it's ok
Why are you such a homosexual?
>Regret going to uni
>Also regret not going
Pick your poison
I need it to get a stable job, unfortunately the piece of paper is needed to work for the state (I already have a master's but I need another one).
The work I'm doing now it's just taking its toll on me, I'll frick around and burn some money for a couple of years then a permanent, safe job is basically guaranteed.
Getting a degree literally trippled how much I make

Thanks mom and dad!
it's fricking arrogant to call your life hopeless. none of you can predict anything of this regard, the future is just too chaotic, and humans live for too long. anything can change at any time, including your brain. just do random shit, and fight for the products of that random shit which make your life more worthwhile. you can literally take that simple of an approach, and you win over a long enough timespan. the specifics don't matter.
The thing that fricks with me is I don’t even know how to turn it around. The job market is just so fricked and there’s less dry ground every year.
That's why I'm gonna get another master to become a teacher, fricking tired of this moronic job market I'll be a state leech
I was raised by a single mom and spent 10 years in a religious cult. I’ve tried to unfrick myself but have gotten nowhere. Feels bad man.

Hey bro haha I happen to be 31 years old aswell. Let’s goooo bro. Godspeed anon. My gf and I broke up and I have nostalgia daydreaming 24/7 on how awesome it was. I even went on a date last night with a mid girl(good manners) but I still couldn’t get the thoughts of ex away. Haha let’s go brooo
My life began at 31. Yours can too. Also average looking girls with good manners and a cheerful demeanor are GOAT.
>just be confident bro
And take meaningful actions like quitting drinking/drugs/pornography, find productive and creative hobbies, only come on IST during morning coffee, and get under 12% bodyfat. You can too. But my morning coffee is empty now, cheers until maybe tomorrow.

Most of you posters are men. You can turn your life around at any age with some self confidence and minoxidil (or transplants). As a post wall virgin woman it’s truly fricking over for me. My only option is to climb the career ladder and botoxmaxx as a nuclear cope for not being able to get a decent guy. I really hope to earn enough to OD on cocaine in my 40s.
My dad had me at 41, mom was 38. I do post on here, so that's how "functional" I am.
>post wall virgin woman
Post hymen """virgin"""
if you change your lifestyle it will reflect on your looks. i have a colleage who is 43 yet she looks younger (and cuter!) than most of the girls my age. age really is just a number.
>looks younger (and cuter!) than most of the girls my age
If you’re honest about your age as an elderly roastoid you get filtered out by guys with standards on dating apps. My mother told me to lie about my age to increase my chances with guys but what kind of guy would be okay with a serial liar?
first of all you shouldn't use dating apps even if it may seem easy to find someone on those apps. for lack of a better term you will get 'pumped and dumped'. best way to meet someone is through hobbies or friends. most other options will lead you down the road of misery. godspeed, anon!
Don’t listen to this. Dating apps are a great way to meet MEN who are interested in dating. If not using apps just be more open to making the first move on a cute introvert.
>Dating apps are a great way to meet MEN who are interested in dating
yea beta losers who are too afraid to approach girls irl maybe. you shouldn't interact with such men anyway. apps cause even greater divide between the chad and the virgin.
I don't believe that there are women on this board

I didn’t read all of your post because it sounds like a bunch of crying. Just pick a goal in your life and get after it.

I had all that at 28. My life was crushed at 34. I know I can get up, but never expect happiness to last forever
Elaborate
You can lose it all in a moment. Material possessions, your women, your health and looks, social status. Every man has his own story, but don't associate your happiness with external things which are always temporary.
Come on tell us what happened
I understand, thank you anon. I am grateful to god every day for what I have. I don't take any for granted. There is a reason in everything. Best of luck brother.
It’s at the point now where it doesn’t even matter anymore. I have no memories to look back on from my childhood, teens, or twenties. All I have to look back on is complete regret and shame. Even if I was to magically get self confidence and motivation now at 32, it won’t matter. All I will think about is my wasted life, how I’m at least a decade behind everyone else, and how there’s no point. I don’t even want to achieve the goals that normal people want to achieve. I don’t care anymore about having friends, having a wife, having a family, wanting to have successful hobbies, having a house, having a career, doing well financially, making parents proud.

I'm in the same place, bro. But you know, frick it. I will devote my life to make it. I'll be dead one day so there's no time to waste. From your entire bloodline, it's you who had it easier. You can't imagine the hurdles and pain that your ancestors went through just for you to exist. And you will sit and b***h about how hard you've had it? b***h at least try. Just develop a high paying skill and in 2-3 tears you will be good. You will still have some years to make it. Even if it doesn't go as planned, you will have a skill and would have achieved something, I stead of being the exact same you but 2-3 years older and more behind
Anons thread was deleted before so could respond but I’m 28, neet, and I feel stuck. I feel like lifting and trying to get my shit in order is a lost cause
I’m in a very similar position same age highly considering faking resume at this point to have more recent experience. Plan is to make fake resume with friends as references or just blow $150 on several burner phones and simply don’t pick up if they call. Get real experience, update resume, get new job, and so on until it’s all genuine experience. I’m at a point of desperation which I just don’t care anymore, I’m ready to do some scummy shit I would have previously scoffed at and considered degenerate and pathetic just to get what I want and need.
It has never been this hard to get a job. I’ve been applying for over a year, hundreds of applications sent. Nothing. I’ve started resorting to applying for retail positions just to have some income and a routine that’s not just exercise, sunlight, sit in my room all day feeling anxious about life and being neet still, and even fricking retail isn’t take me. I’ve made multiple resumes all constructed for specific job types and fields. I have 7 years in retail and customer service so I would think me sucking it up to take a min wage retail gig would be easy but no. I used to get hired within 1-3 weeks of needing a new job, it used to take less than 10 applications for me. Idk what’s going on. I feel like I’m turning into my parents, mad that this has been an issue for the last two years and how fricked up things are yet we take millions of illegals every year anyways.
Matter of fact, I need to test something. I’m making several fake resumes and I’m going to apply as black, trans, hispanic and just see if my suspicions are correct. I will fricking seethe if they are.
>neet at 28
>I know, I’m gonna blame the illegals and black/trans for my lot in life, they’re the reason I’m 28 neet
You are beyond pathetic
>he thinks illegal immigrants, trans ideology, blacks worship is not a problem
you are ignorant moron
>I’m making several fake resumes and I’m going to apply as black, trans, hispanic and just see if my suspicions are correct
Save yourself the effort I did this 4 months ago and sure enough I had emails and calls back within the week, even from places the fake ones obviously didn’t qualify for meanwhile I applied to those same jobs with my real resume which met all standards and didn’t hear shit back. I went so far as to make the fake resumes as shitty as possible with misspelled words and barely organized properly. Idgaf what any liberal Sסy wants to b***h and moan about, this is the reality right now and it’s plain as day. Keep pushing dude you’ll make it, and you’ll be better for it rather than it being easier(read:not as unnecessarily difficult as it is right now). It sucks but there’s not much anyone can do about this. Took me 18 months to get an interview which I thankfully aced and landed the job with two months ago.
Change your name to Tyrone Johnson
I’m 30 and have avoidant personality disorder. It has rendered my entire life worthless. I haven’t had friends since childhood and even then I never had a lot. I have never had a relationship sex or even the smallest romantic experience. I have wasted my life at a humiliating job where I have developed barley any skills or money, and I’m terrified to do a job interview where I expose how useless I am. I’m terrified to answer questions about myself in a social or professional environment and don’t want to expose myself to development situations that most people did a decade or more before because everyone will see how much of a pathetic manchild I am. I more or less hide from everyone and every thing.
Learn to code
Haha yeah there you go, learn to code to be a work from home autist, that will help being socially avoidant.
Thats where I went, I had such a bad time in highschool that I was just happy to be left alone in college, majored in CS and got a WFH job for the last 3 years; I'm making 100k+ rn and have my own house at 26 but I have no friends and no relationship. could be worse ig but I don't know where to start tbh. I even have a home gym in my garage, ( cause I was too nervous to go into a real one for too long 🙁 )and I'm not super fat, I literally talk to like 3 people a day, and thats just for the "daily standup" where you talk about what you did yesterday and what you will do today. 🙁
Based rich wfh Chad
Thanks bro, it doesn't feel like it though; its like college filters out the turbo autists and chucks them into various STEM degrees, and CS is arguably the most socially isolating. Its like I unconsciously steer all my decisions away from social interactions; from when I prefer to be awake, when I go shopping, my hobbies and interests, my jobs. Literally all single player. I am succeeding in everything, it prob looks great on paper, its just all completely independent of anyone else. I find it easier to type than actually speak at this point. I actually did ask a girl if she was seeing anyone recently, but through email lol. she was in a relationship already though, but was nice about it. There is something wrong with my lifestyle, it sucks because I thought I was doing good
Isn't 30 a bit late?
Be good at something and try
I'm decent with Python (because it's fun) but I reckon it's pretty useless to find a job, maybe I should give C and JS a shot
Go for it bro. Just don't waste time with entertainment, use ever moment of the day to practice your skills
>avoidant personality disorder
Cool way of saying you're a b***h
Yep I definitely am.
It can always be worse man. I’m 31 and I’m stuck with the first woman who agreed to date me. I dropped out of community college after the first month and I’ve been larping that I’m a sociologist/philosopher for a decade now because my advisor told me to just make my major psychology until I figure out what I wanted to do. My wife is obese and takes 3 different antidepressants and an antipsychotic for the made up mental health issues she lies about having to control people. Those pills cause her to behave horribly. She doesn’t work, and I have to provide for us both on my sub $30/hr wage cuck. I have to do all the house work, I get slapped and punched by her any time I try to set boundaries or speak up, my friends all laugh at me behind my back or have abandoned me, and I refuse to change anything because I’m honestly just terrified of being alone. I have abandonment issues. My wife has attempted suicide 5 times since we started dating 8 years ago and she will most likely end her life before we’re even 50. I just know when that happens I’m offing myself too. And this will be my entire legacy. A fat 5’ balding loser who couldn’t make it in life and the best I could amount to was making a life with an unbearable mentally unstable prostitute. I’m drunk right now but any other time I cope and larp about being happy in life. But I am not. I’m miserable, and I honestly long for the day she offs herself so I too can do it. I’m sure I will pussy out and blame others for it though.
NTA but your post made me feel way better about my life, thanks
Wow this is uncanny my cousin has that exact life situation to almost a T. I’ve tried to help him but he never listens. Do you have any advice one what I could say to him before he’s too far gone?
despite this it could be worse. you could be a 5' fat balding loser who is totally alone
>worse
as a husband it is your responsibility to lead your wife. You are entirely responsible for your situation, which I understand is hard to hear, but the white pill is that fixing your entire situation is within your control. Pray to God for mental fortitude and the strength to do what you need to do to fix this. I believe in you anon.

Sorry to let you down.
It will be a real shame when you die having devoted your time, effort, decisions, and value system to a non-existent God rather than creating your own meaning in life with the people who are important to you.
Sure though, taking little Jayden and Brayden to hockey practice is definitely pleasing the Lord so even if you don’t want to do it, you’d better get to work!

it's probably because you're obviously overcompensating. Code monkey nerd, posts abs on IST, does BJJ (the fad has passed bro, get a real hobby).

well, what would you have him change about himself? people keep bashing us yet nobody gives us any constructive feedback so we could change ourselves.

this is exactly what I expect from every autistic software engineer o this board.
Over compensating, and god you must be ugly as well
What exactly do you mean by over compensating? I exercise a lot so the desire to kill myself is quietened for a moment and I have a job because once again not having a job made me want to kill myself
How is this over compensating? Because I listed what I think are my 'positive' attributes? You gays are so fricking negative

My fricking homie.
I’m 33 working a big boy job earning 6 figures doing 7am to 5pm hours. I’m on the edge of quitting and living off the government while being on the curse of poverty and homelessness.
Working is hell on earth and I can’t do this any longer.
What is your big boy job
Construction tender manager. Basically senior estimator for commercial jobs.
Why do you always see this binary on the internet between loser NEETs and high earning coders? Like there's no middle ground represented at all even though most people in life aren't either of these. It's kinda like how you never see anyone say they're 5'9 on the internet even though it's the average.
I'm 5'9
because people with normal jobs dont mention them. It's the two extremes that either cry or boast, like the neets, or brag, like the softwarecels
>He believes what he reads online
I got a bridge in Brooklyn. Interested in buying?
Some are honest losers, some are lying losers. A kind of incel gets his kicks from larping as elite. Yesterday there was a guy on /misc/ who claimed to be Brad Pitt's and Tom Cruise's plastic surgeron.
>like how you never see anyone say they're 5'9 on the internet even though it's the average.
If there's 10 men at 5'8 and 10 men at 5'10, the average is 5'9, despite that none of the men have that height.

Why in the frick would you do that?
Where the FRICK did my late 20s go? Feels like I just turned 25 yesterday, now I'm 2 months from 30.
Im going to keep hitting on young hotties no matter how old i get and how i uncomfortable i make them feel
This is their punishment for ignoring me when i was younger
Also the only reason i am getting fit is to beat the living crap out of normie simps if they interfere
I try to be open-minded when meeting strangers, and I try to think positively about them afterwards.
But holy crap. I met some like 34 year old yesterday. In school for CS, and wouldn't shut up about how he'll make "over $150k" when he's done and "over $200k" if he gets a master's degree. Improving your situation is great. Being insufferable talking about income is just autismo af.
>meet person once
>being insufferable about income
Maybe he was, maybe you're just a miserable person.
Just an anecdote for IST-brahs. Find something actually interesting to talk about if you're in school at 34.
>money is not interesting
Guess you're gay then sorry brah
I'd rather be destitute than only have money to talk about 🙂
Computer science and engineering autists are usually like that. Just money and nothing else since they have nothing else to talk about. You see it in here all the time too

I am 30 and I am still going to make it. Feel free to advise me on my situation/plans.
>finished degree last year
>instantly landed comfy wfh job
>income a little below median (not sure if good or bad considering I am a starter)
>live frugally at my parents house
>save 80% of my income in etf and crypto
>wasted my 20s as a gooner/video addict/antisocial/etc
>currently working towards my drivers license
>asked and actually acquired the number of a girl in driving school
>instantly creeped her out due to being completely out of my depth
>new plan is to visit public events/courses hosted by university or adult school to meet girls
>lifting since early March
>didn't properly cut yet besides adjusting diet heavily
>still 25% bf
>115kgx6 deadlift 10kgx8 weighted chin ups
Basically my body is still complete shit, but lifting gave me the confidence to ask for a number already and maybe I can repeat this success with a more realistic target that doesn't give me maximum stomach pain out of sheer goddess like beauty. I also don't know how to react to inevitable questions about my 20s, truth or some made up shit or make it into a muh depression sob story?
There you go, need social interaction but you get a “comfy wfh job” (probably some programming autist)
Good luck
In the office you always meet the same people (let's not get into that nobody goes to the office and it's 80% males; not programming but infrastructure planning) that's why I'll attend courses and shit where you meet many different people, so wfh saves me a shit ton of time and energy to actually go where it matters instead of getting deleted by HR for making my corworkers uncomfortable. My biggest fear is that the courses offered by adult school will mostly be old people, but they aren't very expensive so I'll try it a couple of times. Sure maybe I can make some friends along the way, if I feel that would facilitate my endeavor. If I want to fake social media I have read that I can get Insta, buy followers and turn on private mode or something.
Good luck anon, I doubt you have any success with it but good luck
It's so fricked how you can ruin things for yourself before you're truly capable of understanding what needs to be done. I'm 28 and things are getting really good for me now (just bought a house etc) but it could have easily gone the other way
35 now. Work is great, married, and own a nice house. Bald and not sure I want kids though but need to decide soon. Life is better when you stop comparing yourself and just enjoy what you’ve got.
Everyone on fit owns a house.
I am irredeemable and it doesn’t even matter anymore. All I think about all day every day is how worthless, pathetic, humiliated, and ashamed I am. In this mental state, there is no way I can do anything to fix my life. Everything is completely hopeless.
I envy people who somehow ruined all of their 20s and were able to recover, like it seems the guy above is in the process of doing, being a complete loser for his life and actually being able to pull it together, get a degree, start driving lessons, trying to meet people. I don’t know how you get the mental fortitude to do that.
How are you supposed to savage your life in your 30s when literally all you think about 24/7 is suicide?
>32
>still live at home
>no wife

I've literally never felt better in my entire life. I'm hunting for a part time job to get out of my moms house but life has never been better. Frick expectations, frick the rat race, frick keeping up with your peers, just enjoy the small amount of time you have to be alive.
I’m jealous of you anon. Not because of your seemingly pathetic life, but because my life is nearly identical and all I think about is suicide for being in this position. I wish I could just be happy living like this.
One mans pathetic is another mans glory. I'd rather own nothing than be a 9-5 wagie. All the benefits of sacrificing the small amount of time you get in this life do not seem to be worth it (at least to me, anyone can do what they want i dont care). I'd take the Diogenes pill if I didn't fancy something a little bit better for myself shelter-wise.
Why are you suicidal? Desire is the root of suffering, what do you want, and why do you want it?
I don’t even desire or want anything but that’s the point, I feel absolutely zero desire to live since I have no goals to achieve.
You're still here though so something is keeping you alive? Have you ever tried the thought experiment of visualising your ideal life? What's your average day like?
>27yo
>accidentally got my 18yo gf pregnant
The fact the janny(s) kept this thread up tells me they're probably participating in it hahahahahah holy shit imagine unironically being on your fricking 30s and you patrol fricking IST in your spare time
What are you, 12?
28. I lift you nerds for reps. FOR REPS. Hahaha.
>31
>told I look 28
Frick that's it?
I look atleast 25 you roasties.
Quads get we will all make it
GOSPEL

You can hit all time lows in your 40's and 50's. At least around 30 to late 20's you still have a decade of getting shit together.
Even after all that you can still have it taken away from you...

Life is good.
I just turned 31 and got to buy my dream car (convertible stingray) and frick my favorite porn star (Nozomi Ono) this year. Also lost like 50 pounds since the beginning of the year. Been a pretty good year and I'll be spending my birthday with her and my other favorite girl from her brothel on my next japan trip. Felt good having girls in japanese bars throwing themselves at me too.
Remember how much people and life have constantly lied to you and you didn't know any better. Ever hear how people claim there's no point in learning violin unless you start as a kid. Just think of how shitty people are and how they want you to suffer with them. You ate it all up since you were a kid, you took it all in. But you're a man now and it's time to start meditating. Just imagine what you could do if you were able to do something nice for yourself. Imagine now if you could do something nice for someone or something else in your life. And how amazing life would be if we could all do something more for ourselves and others.
banging teen japanese femboys is pretty fricking based goal more people should strive for.
If you were going to larp, you’d larp about cooler shit than this… Right?
>If you were going to larp, you’d larp about cooler shit than this… Right?
Not a larp. Fantasized about doing this since I was a 15 year old that found the TS I Love You mangas on IST ages ago.
>banging teen japanese femboys is pretty fricking based goal more people should strive for.
Talking to them afterwards is almost better than the fricking. Was cool talking about Madoka Magicka and JJK with one of them after fricking.
I feel really, really fricking bad for you if you’re just sitting in a basement making this shit up.
I’m praying this is real, because if you’re using all of your creative power to larp about fantasies so fricking cringe… I just don’t know what to say.
I'm not larping. I'm finishing up my lifting routine right now and then going on a joyride in my corvette on some edibles. Is it so hard to believe a 30 year old boomer bought a boomer car and went on a boomer sexpat trip?

I mean I'm doing good
Yeah you are.
What do you do for a living?
Sometimes when I’m thinking of ending it all I remember that I’ve never given things a shot outside of the US, and that there’s more to the world than our broken system.
If I was going to leave I would first have to get my shit together and make myself a desirable immigrant to another country, though.
You sound like you’re doing great and I’m happy for you, anon.
Thanks my friend, I was born and raised in Uruguay.
I got a degree in accounting and finance. I worked 3 years as a NetSuite Consultant and now work as a NetSuite Administrator as a contractor.
Where I live it costs 50 dollars to register your business. Go out there and kick some ass. Lot of people are desperate for good people to do good work and you'll be swimming in money and can make the life you want for yourself. Look at the sadfricks online and remind yourself of how hard people suck but you'll do better.
That’s legit one of the only reasons I’ve deemed a positive about sticking around.
In the states it is incredibly easy to start your own business.
I just need to find something I’m good at.
While I’m just putzing around, I’ve considered learning a trade in the mean time.
I think that would help me if I ended up starting my own business.
I just don’t have a product or service in mind.

Didn't have any of that when I first discovered IST in 2011 and was underweight, an addict, and failing all my classes. It genuinely changed my life trajactory, it's actually insane when I look back at where I was.
Holy frick no way you were different at 19?
no i actually lied about that bit I popped out the womb like this
Why you gotta try to discredit my journey like that?
>27 years old
>recovering drug addict loser moron
>starting to get fit

>girl wants to have seckz for the the first time in 2 years

Should I kill myself?
I was in the same situation after being a molly addict. TRT and losing like 100 lbs fixed it for the most part. Still pop a half a cialis if I need to frick multiple times in an hour or two though. Honestly, just using the cialis once or twice helped fix my confidence enough to not actually need it. Feels good recovering from being a drug addict though huh? I personally went from having nothing and no one to a bunch of friends who love me and a 6 figure job in the blink of an eye. Don't have a nice day, just keep pushing through. You'll make it before you know it.
Not that anon, but also a recovering addict who’s dick doesn’t work…
I really fricking wish I had insurance.
I kinda feel like “honestly, just using the cialis once or twice helped fix my confidence enough” bit is pretty relevant for me.
I haven’t had good sex in like five years and my nerves are tearing me apart.
You realize that cialis is generic and like a dollar a pill now right? Trtnation.com sells it at that price. See if you can just order the cialis from them. If not I hear blue chew is good too.
How does that even work with no doctor involved?
>How does that even work with no doctor involved?
You speak to the doctor over the phone. Its called telemedicine and somehow thats good enough for a prescription nowadays.
