>tfw 18 years old was a decade ago
And I still have no idea what to do with my life.
I turn 26 soon. Still a kissless neet virgin. I feel bad for making my mom do all the working sometimes.
>>24733899
How are you kissless at that age?
>>24733899
Another guy, over 26 here. Not a NEET, in fact I have a decent job, but still KV.
>>24733908
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
GET THE FUCK OUT
I can see the trajectory of my life, and it doesn't lead anywhere good. I've wasted my 20s, my thirties are approaching, and I honestly just want to die. When I was younger I thought I could turn my life around, but after so many failures I realize now that I'm fucking garbage, and I'm too shitty to change myself.
Just turned 26, still shitposting 10 hours a day like when I was 14. I kinda wish I enjoyed it less already...
25yo NEET here, i've worked before but i'm out of job for 1 year now and things are going downhill fast here, i don't think i will be able to continue with this shitty ass existence, so much failure and depression, fucking hell.

26.
Was really into the whole tfw no gf in my teens since it felt like I'm missing out something crucial, that i'm falling back in the race to grow compared to my peers.
Now I don't give a fuck. I have embraced neetdom and hopelessness.
25 here, 26 in 21 days.
Just finished up a week at my new job, after leaving my previous one of which I worked with a 42 year old women who I was infatuated with, but could never have.
She drove me to depression not being able to have her so it's probably best that I never see her again....

>>24733947
How do you not feel guilt? I'm 26 and the regrets and guilt about wasting it and not doing anything are killing me. The only reason I still turn on the computer for a few minutes is to complain on here.

27 year-old normie postage reporting, just got outta bed, waiting for my gfs Christmas presents to be delivered whilst she's off out to buy decorations for our first tree.

The thread asked how 25+ robots were holding up and I answered. I only mentioned the oldfag etc to try and deflect some of the butthurt that would inevitably be thrown my way.
Now if you are quite finished being hostile and intolerant I would quite like to sit in and listen and identify with your robot feels as I was, after all, a robot for a very long time.

99% of people who have tried to kill themselves, but survived, regretted their decision and were glad to be alive.
Sometimes we get so stuck in our ideals that we never realize what life actually is.
What is different between a successful person and a failed person?
Successful person has failed more times than the failed person has tried.
You have time. You have all your limbs. You have more opportunities to change yourself than you can possibly imagine.
It's all in your head. Imagine your perfect self, no matter how silly - and start working towards it. Right NOW.
>>24733950
Then find a job that you are suitable for. Even if it's a lower-end job that pays less.
Don't just waste your time, your life, staring at a screen.
If all else fails, just volunteer. Experience different things and take risks. You wont get anywhere trying to live life on safe mode.
>>24733958
Start doing something. Anything.
Random advice : take up mechanics
It's relatively easy to learn, it pays pretty well and it's fun to do.
Who gives a shit about virginity. That isn't a purpose why we exist. Spend time doing new things.
>>24733962
You arent missing anything crucial. It's just one of the semi-normal things.
There are plenty, and I mean more "normal" people without gf/bf than you realize. It isn't something that simply falls on your lap. Though it might if you've got the looks, charisma and happen to be in the right place at the right time.
>>24733994
There is always time.
20's are just your first years tasting the adult life.
30's are the years when fun really starts, unless you fucked up and already have a kid on the way.
Same advice to you, try experiencing new things. New hobbies. Travel new places, meet new people. New jobs.
>>24734043
If unhappy with your job, then apply for other ones.
Don't quit unless you actually land one.
>>24734128
Make it a year of change.
It's up to you.

They all pay well and are actually very easy to learn, even for people with no background in IT.

You can literally change your life in 24h.

Don't really come here as often as I used to. Sometimes I just hit up 4chan because there's nothing better to do.

I was quoting the person I replied to, anon.
30. Dropped my 12 year career in finance and going to uni next year to do nursing.
Back at the gym and feel great. Starting to get the body back that I had in my early 20's. Diet is better than its ever been.
I feel good and am optimistic about my future for the first time in ages. Still a virgin but if I get into uni next year I'll be surrounded by women so there's no worries about that.
Moving in with my best mate soon. It's going to be a year filled with bro times, growing my own vegi patch and learning new challenging things.
All the best fellow robots.

>>24736580
Funny you say that, my last year I did join my dad's company. Probaby the final push I needed to go out and go after something that interested me.
I started as a filing clerk for a large insurer when I was 18 and worked my way up from there.
I know what you're insinuating though :)

Well you got extremely lucky then

>>24736343
what about a passport? work visa? and hostel costs before getting the flat? think of those things also?
it is a nice thought but its not that simple in real life
>>24736677
Wouldn't say luck had anything to do with it. When I finised high school I didn't know what I wanted to do so I applied for the most basic office job I could find and ended up staying in that industry until now.
I guess I am lucky that I have parents that want me to be happy and dont care if I'm putting an established career behind me.
>>24736677
BTW you're 28...that's nothing my friend. There is still plenty of time to do something you have a passion for.

24 suicidal. Losing everything day by day. Wha'ts the fucking point anymore
27 y/o here. Failed normal fag.
But since I was 18, everything has been just a fucking nightmare. It's even surreal to think how can I be alive with my physical condition and my poor decissions I've taken. Life is just meh for me now, just waiting to die because ture optimistic faggots are the ones who commit suicide.
>>24736773
The job required me to file things in a filing cabinet...what college degree would be required for that. The rest of my role was doing some processing on the pc which was all learnt on the job. I had previous job history from working at a supermarket which I guess helped at that age.
I live in Australia so there may also be more opportunity over here.
>>24736507
You can freely travel in Europe as long as you have European citizenship fyi.
29 year old kv here.
Still live at home. Mom does most of the cleaning, cooking, etc., though i can learn.
Work a shitty job, desk having two degrees. Wishing I were better at math so I could do accounting (and make my business degree useful), or I were less clumsy so I could do a trade.
I've no friends. I hung out with my next-door neighbor and my brother through the 90s and 00s, though they now are out of the province. I have zero luck with women. I've been on a few first dates, but a combo of me being shy, spergy and being 3 or 4 out of 10 doesn't help.
Spend most of my days playing video games, drinking coffee in the morning and beer in the evening, or working. I hangout with my cousins two kids about once a week, which is the highlight of my week
I am a little sad, but not suicidal. More apathetic than anything.

Have you tried looking at office jobs lately? They want 2-3 years of experience or a college degree. I'm not even kidding, go look. Even the government jobs.

I looked a little while ago actually as I was curious at what was available. Entry lvl roles are much the same, no previous experience required (I'm talking admin assistant roles) you know, bottom of the bottom etc.
I do admit the job market has definitely tightened though.
>>24736795
you're just having one of those decades
>>24737232
depends on where you are. I just looked on indeed, the first Admin Assistant job wanted 3-5 years. The first phone receptionist job wants 1-2 years
I'll be 26 in 9 days. I just e-mailed a librarian asking if there's any positions available. It's right next to where I live, and I've wanted to work in a library for years. They probably won't read it let alone answer. If they do answer, they'll probably bring up volunteering. I want to kill myself.
I just got furloughed from my job on Wednesday.
Barely hanging in with all of this boredom. My go to bar is even closed for most of happy hour today for some private party.
Life is suffering.

There was a few years I was mostly just waiting to die. Honestly try to find any job that will hire you at first. I got in with a job I like still working on a place.

I don't have to interact with others much with my job and I've had the same one for several years now. Not having to interact sounds like paradise to many of you (it did for me as well), but you'd be surprised how quickly the limited social skills you have will go away if you don't use them. I can hardly hold a conversation anymore.
I feel like I'm wasting my life, I've only done a few interesting things within the past 5 years and they were by myself. I'm not interested in a gf but I do want to have some kind of relationships with other people. Communicating anonymously on the internet for social interaction is not an adequate substitute.
>>24738505
>College dropout
>White collar job making 55k a year
How the fuck? Are you another Australian with a highly inflated salary?
>>24738537
Nope, I just used to have worthwhile connections that landed me the job.
It wasn't from my parents, but in my late teens I really put myself out there in the business community and tried to make important acquaintances.
Of course since then I've pretty much turned into a lazy blob that spends half the day surfing the internet and the other half working.
I'm 25. This is my post >>24738477
I feel like I'm always on the verge of trying to be normal and giving up trying. I am a wagekek right now, and I have had a few jobs before, but I have always quit my jobs suddenly around the one year mark and gone and done something "weird" instead. I am approaching one year at my current job and I am feeling worried. I wish I could just get austimbux tbdesu.
>>24738598
How did you "put yourself out there" anon? I'm 20 and dropping out soon and need to find a job like you have by then.

>I still have no idea what to do with my life.
My wizard powers have revealed to me that nobody knows what they are going to do with their lives. Only things that matters is what you are doing with your life.
4chan always told me that the dating game turned on its head at 25. They were right. I'm pretty much a normie now. There's no way I'll become a wizard at this rate.
>>24738623
It was a combination of developing in-demand skills and hanging out in the right places. I developed my programming skills in my late teens because that's what I saw as something that was easily accessible but still valuable. Without any kind of skills, the people you're talking to won't see you as having value.
As far as the "right places", try looking into entrepreneurial circles. Verge is a popular one now, if you don't know of any just look on meetup.com. Entrepreneurs in startups are often desperate and are willing to talk to anyone. Show them your skills (examples you've done) and offer to "help out" on a small project for experience. This isn't some kind of internship, rather a way to get in their good graces. Once they see you're capable they might pay you for contract work in the future.
Do this for a few people and you'll build yourself a reputation. Even if the people you worked with don't have money they probably know others that do, seek those people out and use the people you helped as a reference.
I don't know man, it's normie as fuck. I sure as hell couldn't do it anymore with my decayed social skills. Good luck.
30. I have about $200 in my checking account. I have no practical job experience; I've only done odd jobs here and there for my family who take pity on me. Never had a gf. Already completely bald and starting to become fat. I seriously thought about shooting myself a few nights ago but on a whim bought a one way ticket to Oslo instead since ticket prices are less than $200 out of JFK. I won't be able to afford accommodations sp I'm hoping the elements prove too extreme for my body and I freeze to death.
>>24738788
Oslo in december shouldn't be too bad. I'm about 2 hours from Oslo (but in Sweden).
It's cold at night, but not freeze-to-death cold.
That happens in jan-feb.
>>24737126
I don't get it. I work in IT (did you try turning the computer off and on?) and make $70k a year. Not bragging as I bet I'd make more money if I went to college and studied IT shit. I pretty much dropped out of school and got a job fixing computers after being a KV NEET for years. Moved my way up and here I am at 32 with a livable wage at least. I encounter people with degrees working shit tier office jobs requiring years of experience with a 4 year degree to fucking file papers and write emails. They get pretty bitter knowing the IT departments lowest paid newbies make more than them. I personally don't understand why people get educated and settle for shitty jobs. If I was smart enough to get educated is try to work my way I 6 figures.
>>24738717
Thanks for the advice. I don't know how to program but I suppose I could learn it or something else that would provide me value as a wagekek.
I hope you get out of the rut you're in.

It's an employer's market that's royally fucking graduates of the past 5 years. They're afraid with all the new degree requirements, that degreed people will take their jobs so they'd rather hire someone with a lower or no degree at all. You're lucky you're in your 30s. At least you had a chance back then.
>>24738788
say you are of syrian descent and of islam, and you could claim benefits. you could also rape some womyn screaming allahu akbar, and they probably wouldnt even press charges, because they are very tolerant
>>24738993
It was not easy and I probably could have gotten where I am way easier with a degree but I regret nothing. I guess I am lucky I got to enjoy my 20's while most of my highschool friends started families after college. It sure is lonely knowing I'll have no one in my life when I'm old and dying.
>>24738788

Eh... It's not quite that simple with Norway. It's not a full member of the EU so it has a few extra rules of their own.
I'm 26. I've put my penis in about eight different women in my time. Funny enough, I've fucked more women than my dad and brother combined. I'm overweight but strong as fuck because I work construction retail, which is pretty much lifting heavy things all day. I don't go anywhere in my freetime, I spend it getting drunk/high and staring at a glowing screen. I'm a pretty good artist but I'm too lazy and unmotivated to make a career of it, so its just an occasional hobby. I do nothing to increase my attraction to single women, my room is a fucking mess and I'm a mysogenist at heart. I don't trust women but my sex drive is through the roof. I do erp's on f-list when in the mood, which is my dark secret. At least I have a steady job, a beast friend roommate who relates to my anxiety and depression, and I don't live with my parents. I've never had a relationship last more than three months. I always get bored with every woman I date.

I only ever get depressed coming here, but I like coming here. Otherwise, a hearty fap usually ejects brain chemicals or something and I get through the day just fine. Bourbon helps too.
I don't know if I'm an alcoholic. I don't take anything to school, but it makes sitting on my ass in front of a screen more entertaining.

Kinda just do whatever I can with my life. I a single woman and have to support my younger brother whos going back to school so I work two jobs. its probably been like 4 years since I've had a bf or gotten laid. kind of just living day to day and making sure my brother actually goes to class and doesn't just sit in his room jerking off or something. I told his ass if he lives in my apartment he has to go to school or work otherwise I'll kick his ass out and straight back to moms basement.

Though I don't neccesarily have it bad, it's pretty lonesome sometimes. Now I'm relatively good at dealing with being alone however I suppose it's true when it's said that no human being can be completely devoid of contact without feeling a lingering emptiness. Though I'd most likely still feel the same even if I did have contact, suppose it's a more complex inner loneliness.
I also cannot relate to anyone and basically feel like I just don't belong, not in the unique snowflake way either. It's just simply standing out from both normies and NEETS alike. No matter how fucked up or weird the other group is: nope you're just a different kind of odd.

Living IN a city is the dumbest thing ever when you can live a stone's throw away from all the hustle and bustle for far cheaper rent and more safety. Maybe it's because I'm from semi-rural Louisiana, but driving for 30-45 minutes to work is literally nothing and you'd get used to it. I laugh at people on HGTV that pay out the fucking ass to live slightly closer to work. You'll save several thousands just paying a little more for gas.

Serbia, but it's like that in most of Eastern Europe, slightly more expensive the closer the countries are to Germany. You can live with that amount for 5-10 years just fine in South East Asia too, or any second world country really.
Third world (with non white people) is actually more expensive because you're considered a tourist and always pay "American" prices for everything.
>>24745758
Point taken. I hear Somalia is lovely this time of year.
>>24736497
Yeah me too. Started when I was high school though so fuck you.
>>24745783
ah. I'd be paying the tourist price in Serbia, though. I need to see if it's really that cheap to live in a second world country with some people that look like me. Maybe Panama or Colombia would be nice and cheaper than America.
>>24745787
And here we circle back to the "anywhere that isn't Manhattan or downtown Chicago is shit" logic. m80 why can't you accept that the vast majority of people could easily live on $50k a year in the vast majority of cities?

>>24745930
Are you black or something? I wouldn't say that, most of Eastern Europe just doesn't have that organized and pervasive "foreigner must pay for everything 10x" mindset that permeates absolutely everything in the culture and economy. I've only really seen that in SEA and Western European tourist cities (like Venice for example).
>>24746198
>Are you black or something?
Yes, and I speak basic/broken spanish so it would be much easier for me to blend in as Afro-Caribbean somewhere in Latin America, than Eastern Europe.
>>24746305
From what I've heard a lot of Latin America is absolutely fucked in terms of rich/poor economic disparity, I mean like literal fenced ghettos for the rich and ghettos for the poor, in the same city and even the same street. I think being a tourist there isn't very cheap, and being a "fake local" isn't very fun or safe, but I might be wrong.
>mfw I just started college last year.
>>24746305
> Latin America
you may be able to blend if you manage to speak the language well. If they see that you`re foreign (some not all) might want to take advantage of you by selling things way over their price.
>>24745557
I have a ten minute subway ride to and from work. The thought of spending 45 mins each way in a car every single day is nauseating. I don't even have to own a car in my city, and everything I need is within 20 mins or less. The saved time alone is worth it.

>>24746351
I can't speak to all of Latin America, but I enjoyed Panama, and it wasn't massively expensive once I got out of the obvious tourist area. Obviously I would never live somewhere like Haiti, Brazil or Venezuela. The problem is that I don't know about a lot of countries with passable infrastructure, and a significant black population. Africa doesn't really count because most black Americans could never pass for an actual African because we've been mixed with white and native american. I have a much better chance of passing for Dominican or Panamanian than Nigerian, Ghanaian or Tanzanian

I realized that the only thing that kept me going even when my life was shit as a young teen was music.
I've decided that my one purpose in life now is to make & produce music. Like I said I have no money so I'll have to go back to being a wagekek to buy a new computer and CDJs and Midi pads and everything else, and then should I join a music production course that shit costs at least 8k$, but I don't give a fuck. I'll wash toilets full time and work on my music part time to make it happen, I'm living that dream to taking it to the grave with me.
I just want to be able to provide the gift of music to some troubled kid that he can relate to like the song was meant for him and him alone, like it was provided to me.
