Your best years are behind you.

The bright side is I wasted them, so they won't feel as lackluster.

For you.

>>78654467
At least you have friends.
>>78654097
Your best years were 4th, 6th and 7th grade. High school you was never best you
>>78654495
true, but it just makes me worried about the future.
whats gonna happen once i graduate? Then im back to having no friends, and theres a very slim chance i may end up working with my college friends again.I dont know if i can solo real life,man. I work better with a team
>>78654535
And thats a fucking lie, Middle school was fucking cringe for me.
>>78654535
All I remember doing was getting into fights and getting sent to the principles office for stupid shit.
Thank god for that "no child left behind" crap.
Perhaps, but my best Beers are still ahead.

This means nothing, high school is bullshit. Fuck anyone who tells you that'll be the best time of your life.
>>78654579
>whats gonna happen once i graduate?
You keep in touch with your college friends, make new friends, keep branching out. Never settle for less. You just gotta push yourself, man. It takes two to tango, so you gotta put yourself out there and be looking.

I'm not perfect, but the best is yet to come nigga
>>78654008
The best is yet to come.
>>78654634
It is, though.
The only ones who can enjoy life are braindead people or stupid children which is exactly why people remember high school as the best part of their life.
>>78654008
why do you enjoying causing such emotional and mental pain to me anon?
>>78654579
>I dont know if i can solo real life,man. I work better with a team
So keep your team close, man. I'm a real cagey and aloof person but my best friend has held on to me just by keeping the conversation going. If you give your soul to the right person, they'll give theirs back.
>>78654791
>The only ones who can enjoy life are braindead people or stupid children
No. Maybe it looks like they're enjoying life, and maybe they are, but they waste a lot of time on meaningless bullshit the same as anyone here.
Happiness and satisfaction in your life is a matter of choice. Choose to have a certain perspective. Or don't, it's up to you.
>>78654844
This helps a lot
>>78655073
>meaningless
The only thing that isn't meaningless is creating something that will immortalize you and let's be honest, only a few extremely smart and talented people are capable of doing that.
>>78655191
>immortalize
Humans are not immortal.
Human society as you know it is not immortal.
The universe is vast, and a single human life is inconsequential in the grand scope of it all. All that matters is making your life relevant in some way you can personally appreciate; whether it be for other fellow humans, your own personal benefit, or some abstract concept only you can truly appreciate. The essence of life is to live; the value of life is determined by the one living it.
>>78654008
It's true.
>>78655498
None of that is even remotely meaningful or worthwhile.
What value is in other people if they will die anyway and you (and they) will be forgotten? What's the point of my personal benefit or pleasure if it will not let me be remembered through centuries?
It's all pointless shit with zero value. I wish I was Tolstoy or Picasso, everyone remembers them.
take this pathetic shit to /r9k/ its why its there
>>78655567
What's the point of being remembered? All will die in time, even the human race.
>>78655654
To leave some impact on the world? To live longer, maybe even forever, even if not in a physical sense?
>>78654008
But they kind of sucked. I didn't get to have the memories my peers got. I barely have or had friends, who barely invited me to do stuff.
As much as I feel left out and that I missed out, I also feel since I'm only 28 I've got years to just bust my ass and get what I want out of life. I mean it's not like I'm going to miss things I missed out on. I'm free, just focusing on making the most of what I have left. On not finding myself in the same poverty I find myself now, but old, sick and alone.
You mid twenties suck but your late twenties... you get this delusional energy that just couldn't give a fuck anymore.
We've got time.
>>78655708
I guess for me, impact is impact; size doesn't matter. Those who truly "live on" like Tolstoy or Picasso don't actually live; people remember the thing they did, not the person they were. The person you are? That matters now.
Anybody can have a shit Paul Revere-tier legend told about them since history is luck of the draw; a push and pull between winners and losers. Being the best person you can be, in the here and now, is hard as fuck, and that's what seems worthwhile to me.
But like I said, what actually matters is what you personally assign value to; if that means a long-lived legacy, then more fucking power to you.

Fuck I'm a filthy semicolon abuser and I hope the grammar gargoyles come and drag me away in my drunken stupor
How do you make friends when you don't go to school, you don't have a job, you don't go out to clubs or anything anymore, and you don't have the confidence to talk to strangers without the assistance of drugs but you're not doing drugs anymore? I live alone. I don't have friends anymore. I have 1 person that I text. I can't really call her a friend though. She's good to talk to but that's all we do. She says she doesn't like being around me because I'm "dodgy". She couldn't explain what she meant. I genuinely try to be a good friend but it never ends up the way I want it to. I'd go out of my way to help friends with things and they always just leave.
>>78654633
I'm sorry anon
Here's
>>78655936
>How do you make friends
No idea. Every friend I have ever had basically just fell into my life. Now I pretty much have no friends and no desire to make any because I know I'll just be alone again any way.
IMO, it would have been better to have never loved at all instead of losing everything the way I did.

>>78654633
>That stray pube
>>78654008
>>78656399
I don't necessarily agree that it'd be better to have never loved at all. Maybe it'd be better to have never loved at all if it is just going to end up as nothing with no explanation. I don't mind being alone as long as I know why I'm alone. My friends have all dropped out of my life with no explanation and I just can't think of anything that happened. I don't think I did anything wrong. It's like I just stopped existing in their world, and I don't know why.
>>78654633
>not taking a fuckton of risks knowing you'll die anyways
I accept it.
>>78655936
Don't bother, you will only be dissappointed in the end.
>>78656399
>>78656464
At least both your legs work and your colon isn't trying to kill you slowly.
>>78655936
Hobbits?
>>78656489
Shit I meant Hobbies.
Well you may or may not be completed correct, everything behind me isn't that great
>>78654008
>Your best years are behind you.
True...But I'm 39 and lead a rather kick-ass life up until my late 20s. What's YOUR excuse?
>>78656486
I only have 1 foot though.
>>78656489
>>78656499
What kind of hobbies are good, social hobbies? I used to play that 40k tabletop game when I was a bit younger but I never really socialised with anyone in the shop. I'd just buy something, sit in the shop and do the base coat, then go home and finish it there. I quit because it was too expensive.
>>78656486
You act like that's a positive
>>78654008
Realistically if anyone in this thread gave a shit about that or had come to some kind of realisation ITT the first thing they would do would be to get the fuck off 4chan.
>>78656531
If its your left one we can be shoe buddies
>>78656510
>lead a rather kick-ass life up until my late 20s
All that matters is you think so
>>78656510
I didn't want to join the Nortenos.
>>78654008
Mmm. Nah.
My best years are 2017, 2019, and 2099. I'm pretty happy with how they turn out.
>>78654721
Sempai, are you me?
>>78656510I turned 40 a few days ago.
