I was pretty seriously contemplating lying about my age, I just didn't know what I could get away with.

I kept the lid on it for over a year, at first just pretending not to hear them when they'd ask how old I am. Now I'm just fucked.
>>
I am 37 years old.

My mother still buys me candy when I visit home and hands them to me the same way she did when I was a kid.

I work as a data inputter at a logistics company.

I have no friends.

I have no girlfriend.

The last time I kissed a girl was 1997.

The last time I got drunk was around 2006.

I am a virgin.

My dad left my mother for another women when I was very young.

For my birthday last year I booked a motel room and paid for an escort but when she turned up I felt sorry for her and gave her the money and told her to get some sleep but she laughed and called me a bunch of names and left.

I was attractive in my late teens and early 20s buy my looks have worn off.

No girls notice me and I don't feel worthy of being noticed.

Sometimes I drive to McDonalds after work and buy way too much food and eat until I feel nauseous and then lie in the backseat while listening to R.E.M.

Last year I developed a crush on a girl who works at an Arby's near my workplace but when I asked her out she seemed to hope I was joking and said no thanks.

My old neighbour had a pet dog that I'd look after sometimes but he moved out and now all I have are the plants I try and care for.

26 years old. Essentially a wage slave working to pay off my student debt. My job isn't something that I enjoy, but for now it's fine. Making $45K and living in a big city is tough. Finally got to travel to Europe this year from the US, twice actually. Met a qt over in Germany so I went all the way back in November to stay with her. Now we just have to figure out who will be the one to move. I really want to, it's a breath of fresh air to just get out of the country for a while. Things improve as you get older anons, at least you have to believe it or things are sure to be shitty. Stay positive always.

It only gets worse guys, never better. With any luck I'll overdose in the next 5 years once I can afford a heroin addiction. I don't even feel like attempting to interact with women anymore, I just want to not feel anything and eventually suicide by proxy by overdose.

33 here. i'm back in community college now getting a degree in drug counseling (recovering opiate addict here) and i easily look 5-10 years younger than 33. every time i tell someone that i'm 33 they don't believe me to the point where i've actually had to pull out my ID more than once.

i'm always honest about my age though. is that a bad idea? it's not like this information isn't easily verifiable with a simple google search so i don't really see the point in being dishonest.

Pay is good, our security is generally top notch so I usually feel safe, and the good pay gets me some women as well as my own house and nice car. But it gets boring as hell there since the internet is hit, and is also company internet so no 4chan.

Taking into consideration the minimum effort i've put in my whole life, i'm pretty content with what I've got.

They are private security, if they were Iraqi I wouldn't be calling it top notch, the iraqi army is utter shit, the firm my company has been dealing with hires Americans/Europeans/Asians, same as the one before it.

We literally get sent in to fix towers that had been destroyed by ISIS a few days prior sometimes, those are the only times I feel kinda uneasy, because it doesn't matter if you have Seal Team 6 as your security, being in an active warzone never really lets you feel safe.

if you can take advantage of the coop programs some cc's offer, it is amazing. I got kicked out of college, went back to cc a few years later for chemical instrumentation. Landed a great coop position at a government lab (environmental stuff) for a year and a half, they let me use pretty much every instrument there and report data unsupervised which they never do with students apparently. Transferring back to university after this, I think with the experience I have I'll have a pretty big advantage over most of the kids coming straight out of high school. But they are probably all more experienced with me when it comes to normie stuff.

>it's been good just to get out every day and talk with people

This for me as well. I had a job before where I had to talk to people a lot, so it's not as surprising for me as it might be, but it's still been a little unexpected that I'm as friendly as I've found myself being.

I'm bummed because I had one class last semester where I got pretty close with some of my classmates, and then had to drop it out of unrelated factors and lost touch. It's a real shame, I sat next to this Chinese girl who was totally my type and had wanted to ask her out at the end of the semester.

Forgot to say, I know those living at home feels.

I lost my place a while back when job and roommate stuff got rough, and it's really crippling me. I think living in my parents' house is the biggest thing stopping me from getting laid right now. (Even if I do have a pretty sweet deal when it comes to parents' house rooms, mine is basically separate and has its own entrance from outside with no interior connections to the rest of the house.)

I lost a good friend last year too, knew it was coming but it still hurt. His fucking parents fucked around too much and they both had HIV because of it, and he was born with it too. He fell just short of his 30th birthday.

He did manage to get an education, a job, and a GF, though, so it gives me a bit of inspiration for my own situation.

This was basically my situation with my ex-girlfriend.

I should have broken up with her after six months, I ended up staying with her for five years and planning a wedding before I realized I was absolutely insane for putting myself through it. (Thanks, Oyasumi Punpun, for making me realize that.)

I've been single for 2.5 years now, and that's miserable too, but not as bad as spending every day with somebody you can't stand.

>>
>>25453661
Guy you replied to again.

That infatuation thing is a bad sign. That happened to me with girls, I should have realized it more at the time. My ex was a cosplayer and there was this other cosplay "frenemy" of hers that flirted with me a bunch of times, my ex thought she was a cunt and a lewd slut, I wanted to screw her three ways from Sunday. Now I wish I'd just done it, my ex ended up cheating on me anyway (which is why I dumped her, although I was only suspicious and it didn't get confirmed until she moved in with the guy I was suspicious about), I would have been better off just doing it to her instead, or dumping her and fucking the other girl as a single guy.

You know what really blows? There were a whole bunch of girls like that. Cute girls who showed obvious interest while I was in a relationship. Somehow, they all managed to get in relationships of their own right around the time that I broke up with my ex, except for a couple that actually did reach out but I was so upset that I ignored them.

I'm a weird loser, but my coworkers actually do seem to like me.

>>25447893
>It doesn't get better.
That's right. It doesn't. In fact, it gets worse. Most of life is spent either working or preparing to work. Feelings of uncertainty are far more common than those of security, pain is a constant reminder of mortality, and you'll feel your body become slowly more decrepit with each passing year of your third decade. It doesn't need to get better though. You need to be better. Why do you need pleasure? Why must you fear suffering? We are the product of unbroken suffering from the first ancestral creature that knew enough to suffer to our current form.

It really does get better if you put some work in. Learn some new skills, git gud at online dating, do something active (I'm not even fit, but occasional runs keep me from getting too fat). A lot of the depression and anxiety stuff I read on here was me 5 years ago. I was ready to quit my job and take out more student loans and probably live with my parents.

I'm kind of in this league I guess.

>31 years old

>grew up in refugee area around murderers and criminals

>abusive parents. father alcoholic, beat the shit out of me etc.

>ended up without any school education, selling drugs. got beaten, stabbed and even set on fire once. childhood friends became heroine junkies or committed sudoku

>decided to re-do all education and change my life at around 20

>today I attend university, will finish at 35 or so. working part time and saving everything I get. Still living with parents in the same shitty area I grew up in.

>never had a gf, probably never will. act like I don't give a shit but in reality I still dream about it every day, because hope keeps you alive

>last year I had a bicycle accident in which I almost died. broke part of my cerebral spine and jaw. have to live with constant pain + loud tinnitus for the rest of my life now, which is a challenge in itself

I just learned to go with the flow and try to do my best to achieve long term goals. I hope my life will take a better turn once I graduated and finally get my first real job and my own place to live. I'm genuinely curious and excited to experience privacy and freedom for the first time in my life. I currently live in a room not much bigger than a broom cabin. Having your own place must be incredible. I have to admit the tinnitus is ruining nearly every aspect of life for me, but I hope to adapt to it someday. I heard some people have it for years and suddenly it went away.

Hope is crucial. Never lose it.

>I felt sorry for her and gave her the money and told her to get some sleep but she laughed and called me a bunch of names and left.
She did exactly what she should have and you should have taken her words to heart.

23. Full time uni student for comp science. Have a programming ob during breaks that pays $28 / hr. Once I graduate in a year pay should almost double. No self esteem with girls and no physical contact since like 2011. Gold digging bitches are probably gonna pretend to look past my weirdness once I break the $100k barrier and it bums me out because they dont want me now ( without the money)
