Are you afraid you are getting OLDER?
I'm afraid my natty gains that took me so long to build will fade away with time
Are you afraid of time?
Are you afraid you are getting OLDER?
I'm afraid my natty gains that took me so long to build will fade away with time
I am only afraid of living a life I would not wish to live again.
>Find obscure PS2 videogame I used to play when I was a kid (doesn't feel that long ago)
>Check release date: 2001
Literally 23 years ago
For some reason that number made me cringe and feel a lot of anxiety. Never happened to me before.
Sometimes I wake up wishing it was 2010.
Yeah I'm afraid of turning 30 as well. Getting dangerously close.
>Sometimes I wake up wishing it was 2010.
GOATed years: 2000, 2010, 2011, 2014, 2020 (pandemic was kino, admit it)
>WC 2010
holy /feels/. Spain winning the 3 cups back to back was fricking peak for a little spanish kid like me. I used to blast the vuvuzuela every game
for me it's 2012, 2013 and 2016.
yeah, i'm thinking based
>stickcam
pure kino
I want to go back

Seeing things from the 90s makes me feel anxious. Not to mention melancholy for a better time.
I know that feel, but you should be grateful you got to experience a nice childhood instead of torturing yourself because you are getting older
At what point is it just fake nostalgia fricking with your brain?
I remember 2008 was an awful year for me. I was like 9 when I saw a headless corpse in the middle of a road (a drunk guy got ran over by a truck) which made me depressed and anxious. I was sick and tired all the time and the house economy was shit.
But after so many years I remember that pos year with some charm and nostalgia which doesn't even make sense to me in my opinion.
i have weird nostalgia for old jobs and whatnot that I HATED at the time
like, i would drive 95 miles an hour during my commute because i wanted to die and was too scared to actually do anything
but nope, in my mind the nostalgia overpowers all of that
if you need a reminder of how fake nostalgia is
a really underrated PS2 game was Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects. I know marvel is pretty gay but the fighting style in that game is very unique and I don't recall it ever being replicated.
I'm fricking terrified of time and getting older because I haven't accomplished anything with my life
>Never had a gf
>Don't have too many friends
>Dropped out of college
>Have been unemployed for two years
>My gains are mediocre as frick, I know teenagers with better bodies than mine despite working out constantly
People who have a relatively successful life don't fear the pass of time but I fricking do because I don't want to be +30 and still be this miserable, id rather kill myself
Why do so many young men think life is over after turning 30?
I don't get this fear
After 30 you can no longer lie to yourself that you "still have time"
It's the literal death of youth
If you have to ask it's over
Gen Z is terrified of being "old". They're like women.
Well you have you list right there, might be a lot of work but all goals can be reduced to taking a simple step.
One foot in front of the other. And if you stumble just get back up and try taking that one step again.
Most people you would describe as succesessful just havent stumbled a lot, but take my word as fricking gospel here, every single person on earth will one day stumble so fricking hard they go full scorpion while eating concrete. And then their lives wont we pretty.
So just accept that failure is just another step that you have to take towards succesess.
And lastly force yourself to throw up any blackpill/other colour pill people on the internett tries to feed you, shit is pure poisen and based on delusions.
No. I can't wait to become a 30 year old boomer. I want to mow my lawn and annoy 20 year old kids.
based and lawncare pilled. also you should have no weight equipment in your always open garage besides an old flat bench and a barbell with a weight that you never change, and do nothing but bench presses.
Life feels so long, and lately so fulfilling to me. I’ve already basically lived several different lives (different locations, different careers, unemployment, long-term travel) and I’ll be free from the financial need to work in just one more year. I’ll be 34.
Life feels so long and so amazing to me. I can’t wait to have all of that sweet, sweet time to do anything I want starting soon.
whats the secret?
A lot of hard work.
A lot of planning.
and a lot of luck.
I was strategizing about my future in middle school and never stopped. And there have absolutely been long stretches where I worked 70-90 hours per week, just like there were long stretches where I didn’t work at all.
Ya I'm giving my self 2 years to make it or imma an hero. Ill know in a year I guess.
I'm not afraid of aging, but I do wish I could relive days from when I was younger every now and then.
>one day you will be 60
>sooner than you think
>pretty much will spend most days bored to death watching shite on tv
>waiting and waiting to get older
>then 70
>waiting for the day you don't wake up
>or worse you get ill and frail
>can't even wipe your own ass
>then it's over
>endless darkness
It's not so bad if you have kids, and grand kids with you on the journey. The majority of people will suffer the above ALL alone.
>xmas morning
>i am 72 years old
>i have no family
It's F-KING TERRIFYING. And there are people here who are moaning about it below 30. Wait until you are 40 plus.
You still have time to "change it" but I can't even say to what.
My cope, likely not healthy, is not planning ahead, but living as though it was the middle ages. You might get some disease the next day, and die miserably. You might fall over, get an infection and die miserably. So all you could do was live for the day. Bottle of wine within your grasp but it's Tuesday afternoon? Frick it, you might be dead tomorrow. Gulp it down. Have a great Tuesday afternoon.
It is depressive but also freedom giving. I well and truly mean it when I say I give zero fricks about what anyone has to say about me or my life. I will die. and so will they.
I am free (but terrified)
No not worried - it's a bit late as I'm in my 50s. Best shape I have been in for 25+ years, though that wasn't a particularly high bar. More worried about my kids and the way society is warping on social media (instagram tiktok, not so much this place).
I'm afraid of turning 30, but I'm more afraid of whether I'm doing well compared to my high school/university peers
Not really. My life's been enjoyable. Could be better if I weren't afraid of taking risks, but it's been ok as it is. My job is comfy, low stress, my family is still around, I can check in with friends once in a while, get some pussy a few times a year. I'm not ready to get married, there's pressure but I'd rather just frick around for a few years longer. I'm working to get a house in my 30s and focus on starting a family then, right now I'm busy enjoying the relative freedom I have.
I guess a bit, I'm turning 27 next month the big 3 O is right around the corner bros. at least I won't be a wizard thank frick.
Imma be a jacked 90 uear old
what's the point in worrying about things you can't control? happiness is a mindset.
you'll never be happy if you make your definition of happiness conditional. the pursuit of goals and things you want and enjoy should be enough.
If I were to meet the hangman's noose a week from today, my time until then, would be something I can not control, Yet the fear would be constant. It would consume my every hour.
That is death.
>the pursuit of goals and things you want and enjoy should be enough.
What are goals and who defines them? The individual? If my goal is to own 100 pink balloons, when I do, did I achieve my goals and can be happy?
Once one attains a set goal, there is no longer a goal, and they often pursue another goal. It is never ending, pointless, and absurd.
I am not being an butthole, and often I would think as you. But oh boy, when you get older and this hits you, everything changes.
It is the reason many people as they age find religion. If God is dead, then so am I. If he is real, I am pleased to meet him.
well, that's exactly what I mean, maybe i didn't make myself clear. achieving things won't make you happy, it's the ability to pursue the things that you desire in which contentment lies.
everyone knows this on some level. thinking about eating a burger is better than actually eating it. people expect it to change along with the scale of the achievement, but it's the same all the way up.
>It is the reason many people as they age find religion
religion is just the pursuit of a goal which you accept you won't reach in this world. it's a means with no end. in my view it perfectly encapsulates what i'm talking about.
As I get older I'm noticing time passing by faster. lately it has been genuinely scaring me.
nope.
the moment my endogenous test starts declining, im hopping on TRT. if doctors won't prescribe, ill go the UGL route.
either way, im gonna be WAY more jacked at 50 than i am now as a natty.
im gonna be blasting tren in the retirement home and screwing the asses off the cute nurses.
The future and past are an abyss, it's not worth thinking about them. Only by living in the present you will be able to appreciate the beauty of what surrounds you.
On one hand I'm quite sad I wasn't as confident years ago as I am now as it probably would have helped make more long term memories with friends/helped me go out more, on the other hand Im not even 25 and I'm often reminded of the anons saying they only started seriously going out/meeting people at like 27 and that there's still plenty of time left
