I quit smoking drugs and cigs. Not some new year resolution bullshit, I just happened to realize I should start trying to self improve the little bit I can. I go to a uni and have a 3.0, a few friends, but fuck getting a girl to even be friends with me post high school is going to be harder than going to fucking space. I know its fucking day three but I've never wanted to off myself more. I know I'll be able to quit, but I don't know if I will ever feel ok again with out pumping dopamine into my brain artifically. I feel like a fucking sack of shit and I hate that I'm a pissed off little dickhead to everyone I come across. I just wish I could keep my fucking mouth shut arround people I like. I almost wish I'd get an attitude with the wrong person to get put in my place.

turned 19 about a month ago, I don't think it will ever get better. Circumstances will change but everything will have the same outcome

I mean i would try to change and have a better life, but i have no idea what i want.
My idea of perfect life is getting a random job that pays enough, live with my family/parents and play videogames in my free time.
Feeling numb 24/7 but at least i wouldn't be sad and still have some fun untill i die

Damn, i'm feeling worse as days pass by, i might be able to outgrowth the fear of killing myself. Not even the people (family) i grew up with and had a wonderful time as a kid/teen want to talk to me...at 1st i didn't care, i mean, i liked being alone, just thinking and wasting time, but now i'm 23, haven't had a relationship since i was 12 or something, no friends, no job, doing nothing all day. I tried to change, tried to make friends, but i couldn't because i don't understand people and they don't seem to be interested in me in any way, i know a few people and team members from sport related stuff, but even when they are making plans to go out and have fun, they don't consider me.
So i tried to get along better with my family, my cousins and siblings, but it was the same, and that got me even more depressed, the realization that not even your own family wants to talk to you or include you in their plans.

I don't know robots, this year might be the year for me, when i get the balls it takes to shoot my brains out.

Oh yeah, vydia doesnt even appeal to me anymore now that i quit drugs. I guess most of my hobbies are fading too. All I do now is clean shit and lay in bed. I feel like Im fucking flatlining now. Literally the only reason I havent and wont off myself is because of my parrents and my siblings, but existing in perpetual depression, anxiety, and bipolarism is making every day exponentially harder.

I wish there was a government program where robots were drafted into the army by force and put into robot companies consisting with at least 90% robots. They would act as a reserve and would never be sent to fight abroad, but they would be paid minimum wage and would have to live together in standard quarters with no internet or computers. After 5 years of service, the robot would be allowed to leave the compound for a trial period, to see how well they've adjusted to other people.

It may sound harsh, but there are different kinds of suffering and this would be the type that mostly do good and serves to strengthen character.

Anyone else has literally no ambition in life? Don't want to become anyone, don't feel the need to earn big money, don't want kids

I know the pain, anon. I've been depressed forever, it seems, and even when I was a kid and felt like killing myself, my parents just yelled and kicked, calling me a lazy shit.
I don't have to deal with them much anymore, so they don't even know enough about me to call me a piece of shit.

I really want to kill myself, and leave nothing behind, but the only thing that keeps me going is curiosity.
I mean, I've probably got 60-80 years left in my life if I just keep going. A lot can happen in 60 years.
Just the last 20 years have been absolutely ridiculous for human advancement. I just can't wait to see what the future will be like.

Jesus, if you think this is sad,
I just turned 50 on Christmas Eve
The "Big" party was just me and my blind dog
I had a Domino's Pizza and my birthday cake was the Chocolate Lava Cake they sell
I toasted to my mid-life with a bottle of Boone's Farm Blackberry Ridge, this flavor has been discontinued, so the store I got it from ordered me 5 cases, I have enough to enjoy a bottle on my birthday until I turn 101, it was the first hard liquor I tried when I turned 21, I am a creature of habit, the 5 cases ended up being .89 cents per bottle, a pretty good investment
Had a few friends years ago, but we drifted apart, so now that my parents have passed it's just me and Bob
Wouldn't have it any other way, I enjoy my life and look forward to new adventures in my second half century

This year I'm just going to take a day off from work and leave in the morning without telling anyone

Keep busy, read a lot, take 1 major trip a year, go to museums, art galleries, ballet, concerts, lots of free stuff to do in my city
I have a small apartment, but no car, plenty of public transit, if I take a driving trip I just rent a car
I volunteer a lot, soup kitchens, places for people worse off than me, keeps your perspective
I have a a great 401k, other investments, so retirement is going to be OK
I walk a lot to keep in shape, eat pretty good, except for my birthday
After a while you just don't care about sex or having to compromise with someone to have a relationship, I do and go where I want, no one around to "fix" me
Never wanted kids, they are uninteresting to me until they can have a proper conversation
Thought about ending everything when I was younger, but I decided if I did that then "they" win
When I die no one will miss me, no one will probably notice, won't matter to me by then
I will join all the billions of people who have died before me, unknown, anonymous, forgotten, I will just be one more grain of sand added to an endless beach
Only a very few of us really matter when you step back and look at it, doesn't mean my life was a waste, it mattered to me.

Went to community college, to get all my lower courses taken care of, really cheap, then I transferred to a four year to get my degree, I have a basic Liberal Arts degree
Got a job with the federal government, pushing papers around for Social Security, most local, state and federal jobs are always listed, now the do it online
I just kept my nose clean, completely a-political at work, just the nice guy down the hall, my job and benefits are more important than wearing my opinions on my sleeve, always early, stay late, make yourself the go-to guy, I have taken more classes to keep myself current, time and good reviews, up you move and more money you get
I buy what I need, not what I want, try to save so I can pay big items off at once, keep stuff to a minimum, quality lasts, junk is just junk.
I have always "paid" myself first, full amount into 401k and IRA, a simple low risk mutual fund is what I use
My job is not high profile, no excitement, but it pays my bills and lets me do the other things that I enjoy.

I'm so lonely. I'm 29 and I've felt this way for almost a decade. Most everyone I used to know has drifted off onto normie lives. I'd do anything to meet a new, real-life friend.
I had a terrible dream the other night. Random mundane events from the past unfolded in my mind's eye as a voice screamed over and over "I'm being tortured!" superimposed over the moving images of my memory. It was my inner voice that has been silenced by years of sadness and apathy. I can't even figure out how to meet people over the internet anymore. There seems to be so many new technologies to help people meet each other but my own life just keeps drifting farther down the spiral.

Guys, I was thinking the same thing coming into 2014, I was broke, a community college dropout and lonely as fuck, 2 years later and I own my own home, have my first car, my own basset hound puppy, and am engaged to the type of girl where, if I described how perfect she is, you all would accuse me of being full of shit. It wasn't easy, I had to work my ass off to get here, but goddamnit it was worth it. I have been in the darkest depths of despair, as in homeless after I caused an FBI raid on my dads house with no one willing to take me in, to having the life I never dreamed of. Don't give up guys, if you try your hardest, it really can get better.

Lifetime is an athletic facility. I do some 'cold' calling, as in people who expressed interest in the past but wound up not signing up, but most of my sales come from people bringing their friends in or web leads. I recently sold a membership to a person who happens to be a recruiter for a financial advisement company who thinks I would be a really good match for them, so if that pans out it could get me from $50k a year 100% commission to 60k a year commission + 15k base salary which would be pretty incredible. I'm definitely learning that the harder I work, the luckier I get. I used to sit around doing nothing and lamenting that nothing good came my way, when all I had to do was go make good fortune come my way manually through hard work and giving myself a chance.

In the past year, I got robbed, my bike was stolen twice, got fired twice, my roommates kicked me out, and I went to jail. Still waiting on my lawyers and the DA to hash out a deal for me, but I'm probably not on the top of their list.

On the plus side, I vastly improved my grades and slept with 2 girls. I also markedly improved my morale and decreased my sense of jealousy towards others' lives.

I'm feeling actually pretty decent despite all of the negatives. Jail was probably the worst out of all of it.

I guess my point OP is that I already feel like rock bottom came and went, so fuck it, here's to looking ahead.

12 hours maybe, I'm fairly well off and my parents give a shit about me so I made bail almost immediately.

The worst part was the food, being cold as fuck, and having zero communication with the outside world. The other dudes were either drunk/high, completely quiet and creepy and didn't bother anyone, or generally nice and helpful. Most of those dudes understood I had made a mistake and probably didn't belong in jail. I talked to a dude that was in and out of jail like 7 or 8 times that year for a slew of charges. He was a pretty smart dude, just addicted to drugs when he was outside. Some people flat out didn't deserve to be in there.

The worst part, now that I think of it, was seeing a childhood friend of mine in there for a really serious charge. He looked like he knew he was in for a long time.

There's no way this picture is accurate. Her parents probably begged for her to take a pic with them before she hit up the club with her buddies and got railed by 3 chads at once.

Lol. 12 hours?

I was in for 16! Maybe 18!

Like you Im thankful I never got transferred to the spic and nig filled county jail. Even the noise level in the police station jail was terrible. Crazy druggies and alcoholics raging, people banging on the doors, and slamming doors. All. The. Time.

I was in a fight (and lost) before the police showed up. It sucked being hauled into jail looking like a complete mess (even though it probably helped my case). Some people wanted to know what happened and I didn't really want to talk about it. I just gave them the concise answer : "some dude road raged on me, and I really dont even know why I was arrested."

I shared a cell with a sleepy old hobo at the station. We made some small talk, and he just fell asleep while we were talking.

Luckily my case was rejected in less than a month and I never had to go to court.

Unfortunately, I haven't improved my life much since then. I have consistent (near min wage part time ) work now, and I am going back to school(even though I already have a BA), but Im still a no friends, no career KHV loser closing in on 30 fast

It will never get better, when I was 18 I thought it would maybe get better, then 20 years later I don't even hope, it just won't happen.
Protip: get money, money will fix everything and bring you happiness.

Going on 25 and can confirm that everything just gets worse and alls I want in life is a job where I can be financially independent but haven't figured out how to make that happen

The only way to make the real big bucks, is to make your own company, you won't get anywhere just slaving away, unless you're in some sort of a higher up position where you get paid tons.

I've been thinking of setting a firework off next to my head.

I"m 27 and I've realized that friends only hold you back. You're kinda right... make lots of money, make sure to get a pre-nup, impregnate some bitch and pray for the best but prepare for the worst.

26 here, it doesn't get better.

You either kill yourself or just learn to accept it. It's not so bad once you give up hope. Kind of a relief desu.

What, do you expect that your anime waifu will just knock on your door one day and ask to get married? Do you think you'll just wake up one day without your neckbeard in your own house with wife and children and 5 million dollars? Do you think it takes no effort to achieve anything? Not even to switch off your computer and get a hold of yourself?

Sorry if I'm too "normie" for your standards, but you're not getting anything you won't fight for, or at least ask for. You guys really are just crybabies like everyone says.

Im so tired
I just get sicker and sicker every day
Wake up multiple times a night to fight puking
Never sleep right
Just want my families love but they don't love me
I just sit in place for hours now everyday just sobbing
I want the pain to stop
I just want to be normal and worried about normal things
I can't even hold a normal job anymore

>That gif

Fucking got me. It's just a stupid dog that wants to have fun and found a way to play by himself. I know it's just staged and it has an owner and such but it's the idea.

For some reason the ones that really get to me are innocent and enjoying their loneliness like it doesn't bother them. They've just accepted it. It's nice maybe but it's still sad.
