I feel like I've just wasted my life doing absolutely nothing. Ever since an early age I've been interested in computers, but the first thing I was ever introduced to was games - and that was my life for so many fucking years, and now it's led to me being here, living at home with my mum, I failed a year at school which I'm redoing now and I've only just started trying during the exam season. I think I will do okay but it'll never be good enough to make up all this time I've wasted will it?
I really want to start making an impact but where do I even fucking start? I don't feel like I'll ever get to the stage in life I want to be at, and I know this sounds ridiculous, but I feel that I have to be the best at everything I do - although that is pathetic, considering people who are the best have been trying their whole lives.
Everybody at school always said I was smart, and it's true, I got pretty decent results. But like I said, I interfered with my own life - I tried to be someone i wasn't, be all cool and pick up girls and whatever and it just failed miserably, I wasted a year of my education just fucking about.
I don't know. Should I just give up? I'm trying so hard but it just seems to be in vain. It's no use saying to myself I should've started earlier because there's no way that would've happened.
I've spent all this time playing video games, watching YouTube videos, watching anime, entertaining myself with all these forms of media that I've neglected to actually cultivate a skill that I live and breathe.
I don't know guys, am I just destined to be a failure? I'm 19 and it really doesn't look like I'm going anywhere with my life
Dude you're still really young, how can you give up now if you haven't really started anything? There's always time and opportunities but you have to do it now and live your life how you really want! If you don't do anything you'll really regret it, and if you don't get to where you really wanted to get then you'll be happy that you tried. Just go on its Never too late!
dw i was 21 when i reached the same conclusion
just quit games now and find something good to do. especially if you go to college, i wasted my whole university experience playing games rather than banging girls

19, holy shit you've got the rest of your god damn life to be miserable. Life has this weird way of working out, I didn't fall into a 'proper' job until I was 30, until that point I was fucking around with drugs, alcohol, taking low paid shitty jobs living with mates and having a pretty sweet time.... some shit times too but man, chill out, things happen if you let them. Quit worrying about this stuff.

get friends with the use of alcohol.
this seems like just a random thought thrown in out of boredom and randomness.
but HOLY SHIT did that get me out of my miserable life.
I've been there what you're experiencing, and I came to the same conclusion:
just get a hobby (or just fucking fake one doesn't matter), anything where you have to meet and talk to as much people as possible. teamsport, theater, music (takes a couple of years to get good I'd skip that option), fucking bookclub whatever just force yourself to meet people.
>I was asked for a band bc I play drums. I was 17 at the time, and I was living under a fucking rock. those bandmembers turned into my best friends, together with an other band. we like formed a group of guys that where around age 15-17. we went out drinking alot. and drinking together creates a bond man, it realy fucking does.
>that was realy fucking awsome. bc of the social power you have as a group, you can reaaaaaaly easily meet people. as a humen you need to have a tribe yaknow.
>it brought around aloooot of grills too, alot. I (slowly) learned how to get them attracted to me (I'm a fórmer béta so I'm realy proud of myself).
>it gets your confidence up aLOT.
so TL;DR:
>go out doing something rad
>meet people
>make friends
>(with the use of alcohol)
(it's difficult but possible for every half developed pleb)

>19
Shut the fuck up lol.
I was about your age, when I had just finished school and was a nobody. University is a great place. to learn to socialise and to learn a variety of skills needed to succeed in life. Noone has done noteworthy things before 19. Be glad you realised this now. Tons of people will realise this far in their 20's; stay ahead of them.
