Turning 23 was more depressing to me than turning 30. I just knew it was over at 23 for some reason, I was no longer actually young
Turning 30 this year. I'm having the exact same experience. I was full doomer mode at 23 but feel really optimistic about 30.
it really is depressing knowing that your only option is to lower your standards for your hopes and admirations
For me I faced crises at both ages. I knew at 22 that is was over when I graduated college with no social life and no accomplishments. At 30 with still nothing, it’s just been endless suicidal thoughts for a few years now
>tfw turning 23 in a few months
is it over?
Depends on the individual, but probably getting there.
By the way I don't mean life sucks after that or anything, I just mean you don't have that sort of youthful excitedness anymore. There is a very specific feeling which you just dont get anymore after your early 20s, even if your life is going fine. There is still plenty of reason to live after that obviously, it's just always kind of wistful remembering how it felt being young.
Frick me I lost this zeal when I was around 18-19
I think it's just a coming of age thing, you have that youthful hope and energy that you know could change the world if given the chance but you come to face the fact that we're just a part of this massive inefficient organism that can only be killed by natural causes
Stoicism helps offset the dread significantly but there's no regaining that spark once it's gone
>there's no regaining that spark once it's gone
Not true, but it takes effort.
I would ask how but obviously it varies from person to person.
I think just regaining a sense of calm amidst the storm is a lot more than most people can manage these days, it feels like the collective consciousness has rotted significantly in the past 10 years or so.
>a lot more than most people can manage these days, it feels like the collective consciousness has rotted significantly in the past 10 years or so.
Though I agree with you on this as well. The collective consciousness stagnation and decay feels all too real and palpable to me too. Like somewhere starting in 2012-2015, and certainly after it, no one's really got the same feel, and I think everyone would agree.
I often think this as well but I'm not sure if it's just because I was more ignorant and carefree back then. I'm 24 so I don't have a huge frame of reference. Perhaps some older anons can chime in? Has there really been a significant decay in the past 10 years that isn't just nostalgia bias?
Nothing against you two, but reading these posts kind of gets me more motivated than ever to recover my lost sense of self. I just respond very well to negative reinforcement, and seeing these makes me want to do something about it that I alone could not achieve. So for that, I thank you.
And this. Respect, brother.
Same. I couldn't sleep one night upon realizing that my 18-22 years completely flew by me with nothing happening besides getting older.
Lol, I didn't get the "my youth is over" until I was like 27-28.
For me it was 24, I lost my virginity to a hooker and it was absolutely a let down. I remember sitting in the shitty cheap bathroom shower almost crying and it just hit me how over it felt. I’m 29 now and it’s still the same
Fr fr im 22 and my life is over. Im going to drop out, do coke, bang prostitutes and end it all
22 is when I got my injury that still ruins my life on a day-to-day basis a decade later. It's amazing how one small event beyond your control can just frick up your whole life. I still seethe and rage against my limitations, and that will never stop no matter what.
what happened m8
ummmm actually chud everything is in your control, so stop b***hing and just decide to be a better person ok ?
Stop blaming the world for your problems baka
I'm sorry to hear that. What happened?
kek, same for me. life changed very little between 25 and 35.
Just frick up your life and then join AA. It's all uphill from the bottom. Problem is you had expectations.
I can't imagine anything worse than going to AA
Depends on where and who. There are the stereotypical ones where people just complain about their wives. Then there are ones where the people there know multiple religious scriptures, the history of psychology, and are positive and well spoken and still read a lot. The worst imo are some of the christian ones who are obsessed with pornography and speak vacantly about jesus. Other christian ones talk about comparative mythology with buddhism and hinduism. It really depends on where and who.
You don't need to be an alcoholic to join a book/nerd club
You do if you want to be around people who are humble and open minded and not just trying to one-up one another.
The frustrating thing about normal religious groups is they are often unwilling to read even basic texts from other religions. I had a conversation with a pastor with a masters degree in theology who not only hadn't read the bhagavad gita but didn't know what it was. Now he was reading st. augustine and it was an oxford world classics so I asked him about it. The reason why this is crazy is that the gita is only about 200 pages. I also asked him to elaborate about gnosticism and he either wouldn't tell me because it's heresy or didn't know that much about it. Well, at least I learned more about augustine since my general knowledge of christian history starts at the schism and goes through the reformation.
What a way to waste your life
I already did hedonism and went way further with it than you will.
Have you tried not being a weird freak?
Nah
That's your problem. Not the fact that your pastor didn't read bhagavad gita
I'm good. I just have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, wisdom, and self destruction. A gaping hole that I must try to fill with god, books, carrots, everclear, projects, money, power tools, etc. I thirst for more than a normal person.
Ok don't be shocked when you wake up as a 40 year old loser with nothing to show for it
I'm already married and things are looking up. I'm thankful every day that I don't have to deal with dating ever again. She's finishing her phd and I'm in a masters program. If I were to give a kid advice they wouldn't take it.
Do you mean being devoted to Christ is a waste of time? Can you define a life that is not wasted when you wake up and you are 40? Nta btw
A good relationship with your wife and children, good health, and enough wealth accumulated to provide for them and yourself as you near retirement.
>Do you mean being devoted to Christ is a waste of time?
Yes. Believing in israeli fairy tales as an adult is silly
I'm who he's talking to. Honestly, just having equity in a house with enough land for a garden and chickens if you want them, a career with growth potential, good knowledge of how to pay as little taxes as possible, a brain with enough knowledge on cars, home repair, finance to not be ripped off, a loving wife with a stable personalith, and 2-5 kids with the financial means to not send them to a public school is all anybody could ask for by 40. Even so you have a little time to marry younger and have kids. But as for career, you just end up falling into success if you aren't dumb, or afraid of failure, and work hard. You really don't need that much to be doing well if you don't define it by buying jet skis, blow, hookers, etc.
Best ways to minimize paying taxes for the common man is you do not marry your wife legally and then have her file as a single mother for financial assistance, you use the schedule c tax deduction to put your entire income tax burden into a personal business with minimal work required like buying into a drive through car wash, asic bitcoin miners, vending machines, etc. Always max out your tax write-off donations for the year and just donate into your kids private school or home school co-op. With a home school co-op you just have parents work together to teach kids to the parents strength and you basically pool money into the non-profit that you spend on your kids that would have been stolen anyway.
Private school and home school are a meme. But I live in an area with good public schools if you are a good student and get into the gifted program. Don't know how it is for you but those schools are infinitely better than any private school or homeschool in my area.
Unless you get ap credits that is pointless. State run schooling is inherently evil. Your kid can have a ged by 14-16 and a BS by 18-20 easily while having a friend group with co-ops. There is zero benefit to going to a state run facility or allowing the state steal your money to raise your kids for you.
I got 25 credits through AP and dual enrollment before I started my freshman year through public school
So about 6 classes. You could have had 16 classes worth by then fairly easily. A BS is 38-40 classes total.
School is mostly about the social experience. No point in speedrunning it frankly.
The prussian model of schooling, which we have, is about training children to respect authority more than anything. The rockafellers brought it here to train and convince rural people to come live in cities and work in factories. The socialization is completely incidental. The networking you get done at a good grad school through conferences is more important than your freshman dorm as well, especially with the bachelors drop-out rates at most schools being ~50%. There are better socialization opportunities than sending your kid to a state run day prison.
>The prussian model of schooling, which we have, is about training children to respect authority more than anything
They didn't do such a great job at my school then kek
You literally did optional extra homework and are still excited about it and defending it anon. Pretty sure they did an incredible job on you.
???
I agree that public schools are shit but how do you avoid raising a sheltered anti social weirdo?
move to LE WOODS and WORSHIP JESUS
Send away summer camps like sailing camp, sports camps, and a home school co-op which pools kids and has parents volenteer to teach the kids based on their specialities. For example, a veterinarian teaches biology, a computer scientist teaches mathmatics and computing, etc. If you "donate" your money into the co-op and write it off on your taxes you can use the funding toward things like sleep-away camps while only using money that the state otherwise would steal from you. As a bonus they don't have to associate with poors.
>how do you protect your children from the corrupting influence of others?
>send them away
holy moron
When did I ever say that at all? I said you should give your kid a fast track to success by skipping the wasted school time where they don'tlearn anything, avoid allowing the state to raise them for you, and give them rich social experiences funded by private money. Talk to any homeschooler who follows the state curriculum guidelines and they'll tell you they need like 2.5hrs a day of actual learning time to meet that. It's just a complete waste of time. You can do that as a kid or do 4 hours and be ahead and still have 4 or more extra hours a day to frick around playing.
Another tip I have that the very rich use but is less accessible to common people but some employee-owned companies offer is just being payed in stock options because capital gains tax when you sell is maximum 20% and lower the longer you hold instead of capping out near 37%. That's why ceos can so frequently claim to barely get a salary.
Thats with rich people do
>le atheist ledditor has left his containment website
You always have to go back.
lol same(ish), the last benchmark age to look forward to is 21, after that you're just getting older.
In any case I was in the best shape of my life at 32, hopefully I'll repeat that feat in a few years at 42.
Shit I know a 93 year old man he still drinks whiskey, smokes cigars, has an iron handshake, and most importantly after his wife died was out hitting on all the old divorcees half his age. He even fricked a few of them.
Shit's only over when you're dead.
>Not enjoying becoming the strong ever-single silent uncle of the family
I think you might be missing a goal.
same
Yeah same for me. I remember on my 23 birthday I was just depressed because it dawned on me that I no longer wanted to grow older.
Now I'm in my 30s and I don't even feel my birthdays. I'm not particularly depressed about it because there is such little difference between saying you are 30 vs 31 or 32 that it all meshes into one and doesn't matter with people in their 20s still looking at you like you're ancient regardless if you're 30 or 36
For real
>23
>depressed
>alcoholic
>broke
>shitty stressful relationships
Then
>30
>feel great
>sober
>6figure career
>casually dating/fricking 18-23yr olds

Thanks homosexual.
what is your job/carries?
I make money. Where do I find zoomettes?
they're scared away by your poodroid, getting an iphone will genuinely held you out with women
Waaaah I can't be coddled like a witeww baby no more abloo abloo
Its posts like these that made me realise that i will forever regret not making the absolute most out of the time that i have left on this earth
>t. 23 year old ex-loser who is having the time of his life now
What’s up with you guys idolizing the young and stupid? There’s pros and cons of every age. Turning 30 next month myself, tbh life is better than it was at 20
Shit is a hell of a lot more expensive now. I could go to small-medium sized rock shows like dance gavin dance or circa survive or glassjaw for $15-30 when I was 20. Nowdays you're looking at $60 a head minimum with $20 parking.
That’s just inflation my homie. It’s annoying but shouldn’t get you so down. We all have to put up with it
I hope drumpfght wins so we all get 6 figure jobs for doing nothing again
Y'all really need to stop being such pussies about getting older.
The zoomer memes were fun while it lasted bros. I feel bad for them. Well i wanna make fun of gen alphas. Theyre gonna be nonwhite lol.

Post skin color
I see you posted yours. Brown with a pride flag tattoos on your hand
I don't place value on the color of my skin so I don't care if you think I'm brown or whatever. I just KNOW you're a self-hating latinx houghever.
Youre brown. admit it.
Sure. I'm brown, but we're not so different you and I.
Can I frick your chubby brown goblina sister?
No. My chubby goblina sister doesn't like self-hating latinx boys.
I wasn’t the anon you were talking to. Im actually a sandy blonde blue eyed guy that’s 6’.
So can I blow loads in your sis or what bro? Or did your pervert uncle already despoil her at her quinceanera?
She has an indian lover.
Cool, so she’s down to cheat obviously. Hook me up and I’ll even let ranjeet raise my bastard like the third world cuck he is.
You are one dirty bastard
A lot Cleaner than a brown street shitting rapist for sure, both physically and mentally
>Sandy blonde
Eh, not white enough.
You have to admit it would be an improvement over whatever kind of Iberian rape baby you are.
I’m just asking to be polite dude, you already try know she isn’t going to say no.
>an improvement
Ok ahmed
Uh no, I’m actually Québécois and English. But it’s cute that the product of a moorish rape mongrel gaping a jungle monkey thinks I’m inferior or muslim
>moorish rape mongrel gaping a jungle monkey
I think you're projecting just a little here my fellow brown.
>I don't place value on the color of my skin
I certainly wouldn't either if I was brown
Ok. Post skin color with time stamp. (You won't because you're a Hispanic white supremacist like the other Anon)
Karma. Blame white people from good homes posting their butthole on onlyfans
That's a lie. latinx folks are racially white.
>latinx folks are racially white.
b8
Indeed anon
homie I’m 21 lmao
Never understood bragging about something that you will absolutely inevitably lose, same as anyone else, and did nothing to earn or deserve. Maybe have other things to be proud of?
I'm turning 30 in 3 years (1997 zoomer)
Were you born in January or some shit? Because if not it’s 4 years
same
covid really did a number on us huh?
>went on spring break senior year of college
>never got to go back, got mailed my diploma
It's 2024 and I'm still trying to process 2020
yea in the same boat brother, covid really fricked me up. lost the last of my partying years, didn't feel I was really done with that life, but now I'm working. fricking hate it.
I know age is just a number, but covid really fricked my whole trajectory in life up
How is 1997 a zoomer? I thought zoomers were after the 2000s or after 9/11 atleast.
Cuttoff is ~96. If you remember 9/11 you're a millenial. If you don't remember it you are a zoomer. Oldest millenials are like 42 now.
Gen Z is going to be talking about the epic meme culture wars of the 2016 election forever acting like it happened yesterday and Gen Alpha teenagers weren't even old enough to remember that
Even the dumbest /misc/tards cringe at that era.
No I loved it. Trump winning was one of the funniest things to ever happen. Him treating political debates like WWE prematches was fricking hilarious. Things will only be downhill for the rest of our lives and our kids will have worse lives than we did. Europe and the anglosphere are destined for collapse this century.
>Things will only be downhill for the rest of our lives
Wrong way of looking at it. We get to live through one of the most transformative eras in human history in the lead up to 2050. The world map will literally change before out eyes; and, if you're a real go getter, you can play a hand in changing it because you have access to so many people/ideas/resources through the internet.
tl;dr The world is going to be EXTREMELY interesting over the next few decades and you have far more sway in how it goes then any other time in human history.
Uhhh most zoomers aren’t even 25 yet anon. I’m 26 and I’m one of the oldest ones.
21 zoomer here starting boxing this week and going to fight in amateurs. It's only getting started for me
>who made fun of us 30+ year olds on IST for the last 10 years
I've been on here since 2005 and there were no "zoomer vs millenial" bullshit 10 years ago
It was all "oldgay vs newbie" timelines circa 2012
>t. I posted in Epic Fail Guy threads and remember the first Advice Dog memes
>t. still have Low Orbital Ion Canon (LOIC) on an old laptop, downloaded straight from 4chong
The true mark of an old gay is referencing long gone boards that were never popular, /z/ does not count
>>>/ib/
I member text boards.
I remember when /news/ was just /n/. It went away then came back.
NTA but I never really explored the boards, mostly just hung out on /b/, IST and eventually IST
I'm from 2006. I don't get why zoomers try to gate keep this site when we discovered it as teenagers.
>Zoomers only defining moment was the the 2016 meme war
Gen zyklon bros...what happened to being the next Napoleon? Zoomers literally accomplished nothing besides neurotic skin care advice on tiktok and "maxxing" lingo. It's so over
The smartest zoomer to ever live is Nick Fuentes and now he's washed up too
>zoomer born in 1999
My own generation makes fun of me for being old
Just get vinnie hacker hair if youre 24. Youre 24 theyll probably think youre a 21 year old thst party too much (depleted colllagen)
tbh I still feel young at 24, but I'm anxious for the future. Not only what is happening in America, but also because I don't have a career really planned out or a wifey/gf. But I am going on a lunch date with this 19yo in a couple of hours. Wish me luck lads
'99 zoomer here. I've still got half a decade.
>25
Pretty much the exact point when time starts to accelerate. Don't make the mistake of living for the day you won't remember most of it and you will.miss out on hitting career goals.
Gen alpha is going to be extra bratty, extra childish, extra egocentric and extra autist. Ive witnessed it with my cousins. We will miss the times when zoomers were just shy morons.
>t. 32 yo knower
Nothing a good knee to the teeth can't fix though.
Im 25. I identify as gen alpha not zoomer
Zoomers are 27 at the oldest
zoomer bros, its comfy time, hope gen alpha can fix the world, its their problem now
Im zoomer but identify as gen alpha
if you're the 25yo anon then you're slightly older than me. but I identify as zoomer. I'm proud of you son, now go work, you gen alpha are so fricking lazy, take this cute cat gif of mine, its my nappy time.
Let's face it: nobody cares about saving the world, they just care about themselves. Anyone taking action do it to ease their eco-anxiety. If saving the world made you rich it would have been solved before it was even a problem.
If people only cared about themselves all the world problems would be solved.
So dumb it's not even funny. Ever heard of conflict of interests?
What about people's stupidity-err... subjectivity?
>saving the world
thats hubris with a savior complex you aint saving shit
I meant fixing it, if you will. Of course I'm not. Nobody is.
>I have 8 years to make all the friends and get all the pussy I didn't have when I was 18-21
Goddamnit I don't think I can do it
but fr boomers...real talk...how did you cope with getting old? This sucks man.
rip zoomies
Nah that's millenials
I turn 38 in February
Happy Birthday!!
I'm 24 and I have a 2 month old daughter. I'm officially middle aged.
I saw what I seem to be a mid thirties woman at the doctor's office last week and she was giving her information and said she was born in 2002
She looked older than me...
Zuma's are just aging really really badly
I'm turning 29 in a month
started lifting and leading an active life when I was 25, lived like a pig before that
feeling really good, better than 21
anons, if you are below 30, just go and do something psychical. time after time. adopt a routine. it is life changing.
I have a routine and im ripped and it doesnt change a damn thing.
I mean yeah it does. I probably would have killed myself by now. But i have nothing else.
Same.

Yeah, and they've been slowly panicking over their signs of aging. Its fricking hilarious
>that 27 year old zoomer who thought MW2 was a good game
WHY ARE ZOOMERS SUCH homosexualS ABOUT AGEING
I remember thinking 30 was kinda old when I was 20 but I didn't really think about it or give a frick or cum blood all over my breasts and shit myself like ZOOMERS
t. 91 boomer
FRICK ZOOMERS
Half of them are non white so nonwhite zoomers will age just fine. The white zoomers might have to worry tho
I'm 26 and feel pretty much the same as I did when I was 18. I basically did nothing for 3 years during the COVID/post-COVID period other than work from home and that killed a lot of momentum I was building up. It happened right when I was in the middle of uni, I lost an internship and had to study an extra year because of that bullshit virus. Now I'm working but feel stagnant and like there's nowhere else to go other than working the rest of my life.
Pretty much the same boat. My body has aged pretty well, I take good care of it and have a skincare routine, but it's vexing looking back on how badly Covid fricked up my late college and newgrad experience
God damn roll with the fricking punches for crying out loud. You all sound so whiny. Yes Covid happened and the shit storm is over now, it’s time to move on
>You're not allowed to vent anonymously about how the government had lockdowns that ended your college experience and the prime years of your life over a cold
>he didn't know about the illegal covid raves at the park
I had the most wild time during covid brah
>thinks college is the prime years of life
>a time when a man is at his most utterly useless period of life, is in his prime
Oldes gen Z is about 26 turning 27 this year.
30+ are still millennials.
nice, 3 whole years to go grandpa. you're practically a teenager!
Don't be a sour puss about aging homosexual. Enjoy the ride. You won't get much quantity out of this life but you can sure aim to be among the top elite in quality.
I'm 26 but I still feel 22. Damn Covid
>For years, media sources focused specifically on Generation Alpha have used starting birth years such as 2010,[15] 2011,[4] 2012, or 2013; "the early 2010s". In the 2023 book Generation Alpha by Mark McCrindle, Generation Alpha is defined as "covering those born between 2010 and 2024".[16]
