>people still want to be The Stone Roses in 2012
wew lad, it was all of two hits that done it
I'm 29, jobless, gfless, dependent, but turned in my w-card 5 years ago
But fuck it mon, I'm a legit aspie with not enough bodily strength to open a can of mayo and the smarts of a RL Forrest Gump, so I don't stress it nowadays.
Wake up on my day off and I got a really bad head cold, just my fucking luck.
25 virgin here. I'm gonna try and get laid this year, like I'm gonna try harder than any other year, if I fail prostitute. I've said the same last year, but this time I mean it. I will get laid this year. I already managed to get 2 matches on a dating site after a few days, so judging by that I think I have a shot.
>>26576486
time will speed up even faster you will be 30 in no time
27, work shitty part time supermarket job and waiting to go back to uni.
Looking to finally move out within the next two months with a friend, hoping the change
will make me a little less miserable.
26 KV here. Same story as most of u guys.
I have a 19 year old KV cousin who seems to be following in my foot steps. Is it cruel that I hope he does? He use to make fun of me for being a KV when he was 12-13 which is funny because his never had a GF at all and has needed up a scrawny beta Manlet playing video games 24/7 never leaning his house.
It makes me feel good to see him failing.
>>26576486
I can't believe I am 29, It feels like I turned 25 last year
>>26576577
>Is it cruel that I hope he does?

>>26576500
I don't care about being normal, I just want to have some idea about what to do with my life.
This birthday is gonna be fucking terrible. I just know my mom would look at me with pity, knowing that I'm an adult yet a complete child, a complete failure.
>>26576571
Just start doing night courses
Don't start uni at 27, you will feel isolated
>>26576468
How did you do not to even get a job ? Are you in a country where studying is expensive ? Why don't you get an easy manual job, like ina supermarket or anything ?
>>26576484
Why don't you buy a car or a cheap scooter so you're able to move by yourself ?
Serious questions guys,
26 KV but I have a well paying (shitty and ultra boring) job, gonna change for something that pays even better (but same shitty boring stuff), got a car and renting my own place, financially independent since years.
I really don't understand the rules of the game of life, but making enough money to live is quite easy. Behave normally with other human beans ins't, though.

all those grand notions of having a purpose to life and following MUH PASSIONS is for rich people who don't have to worry about money
31 here
I am honestly having the best time of my life the past 3 years. I lost a bunch of weight, got a great job that I like, made some friends and bought a house, started lifting and am in the best shape I have ever been in and I look better than I ever did when I was an awkward teenager. I even got a GF last year, last weekend we had a party at my house and I got so wasted that I didn't get out of bed the next day until 2pm when I usually wake up at 8 am.
I guess I'm a normie now, but three years ago I was a super fat robot neet and now that I think about it I was also a terrible person, it's amazing how much has changed in such a short period of time for me, it's like I won the lottery of life man.
25 turning 26 this year
living with parents
have a job that I want to quit because high stress, no free time, come home exhausted and I literally don't need the money, my parents just don't want me to be a neet
>>26576623
I started last year, surprisingly there's quite a lot of older people there.
But i know what you mean, I've made no real friends and usually go entire days without talking to other classmates, it was pretty depressing to begin with.
Guys...don't feel like total failures as people to be living at home at 29...sure there are people who have had a lot of success..the bourgeoisie, as it were..but there have always been proletarians/lumpen like us...and there always will be (most likely) so, in my opinion, keep your pride, hell take pride in base and cheap things or become spiritually aware and give in to wanderlust (that's what i do..have been hopping freights for years and hitch-hiking...going to s. america next fall)...do not be on the fence is what i'm saying. I'm 29, have never had a decent job in my life, thoroughly a loser in the eyes of some people...i'm actually living w/ my uncle now..but i don't let it make me feel like i'm less of a man or a person..stay positive brothers and sisters love and light.
>>26576668
Congrats man I'm happy for you. Not many make it out.
>>26576605
Doubt I'll live that long, not like I lead a healthy lifestyle.
Depression will get the better of me in the end.
Probably when one of my folks dies I'm guessing.

I hate birthdays, but my mom is a sentimental bitch and always remembers my birthday and makes a big deal out of it.
>>26576653
But I don't want to work until I die
>>26576677
Same age, same problem. Hell this week I forgot to pick up my paycheck. I don't get paid enough to buy a cool car or a house so the money really isn't worth much to me. I only got a job because my parents made me, they make really good money and I live at home. I pretty much waste my money on buying expensive clothes and shoes hoping girls will like me.
>>26576693
Fuck you, hippie.
I made another thread but nobody responded so I'll post here
Getting old is just fucking horrible
From 25 onwards every subsequent year is more and more shit, you are FORCED to become a wagecuck normalfag if you want to have any money and be able to support yourself, and watch while the younger millenials are out having fun and being happy like you used to be able to. Everyone you used to know is now getting married and has some high paying job that you are too depressed to be able to acquire. Your family tries to comfort you with memes like "take your time" and "you'll get there eventually" but deep down you know how far behind you are. No wonder suicide rates are so high in this age bracket
>>26576704
your scenario totally isn't worse than having kids
>you are FORCED to become a wagecuck normalfag if you want to have any money and be able to support yourself
Yes. You can't escape wageslavery at this point.
>>26576732
>watch while the younger millenials are out having fun and being happy like you used to be able to
jokes on you, i don't remember what being happy was like
all i see is a bunch of morons who will be fucked by life by the time they turn 20.
it's just a matter of time before they all get a nice taste of how shit life is, the only ones who stay happy for life are delusional or rich.
>>26576741

No licence. I do have a car permit, though.
Really should get on getting my licence. Would get a decent bike, but I live in Newfoundland. My "city" is built on a hill, and there's snow on the ground more often than not

Put it in the stock market and make an easy 25$ per month in dividends. It's a nice extra meal :)

19 fat NEET fuck up here
Give me your wisdom to avoid the future
29 here. Started undergrad college last fall, had to move to a new city. Have made literally zero friends and everyone is 21 years old, so I'm alone most of the day. At least work keeps me busy, but very lonely. Just want to finish and get a job, which knowing my luck, probably won't happen either.
>>26576785
Are the hookers actually hot and something you want to fuck? I always picture them as like meth head 95lb toothless street walkers.
Do u know how to find attractive ones?
>>26576396

Every time I figured out how to pay this and that, something else comes up. There's never enough money, how do you people live like this?

The storage layer is a custom built C++ NoSQL database. The compute layer that I work on is all custom-built on top of the JVM. Different business teams can plug their data transformation models into the compute layer with a DSL that we maintain.
Everything runs on distributed linux fleets.
26, still in college.
Started college when I was 22. Took me that long because I thought my ugliness would stopping from having any sort of normal life. Nowadays I increasingly believe I was right back then before I started college.

> just know my mom would look at me with pity
> giving a fuck what your parents think
you should actively work to spite them. they made you for their own benefit, to aid them in childcare, resources, give them undeserved love/respect they couldn't get elsewhere, act as a proxy robot for them to instill their most insane beliefs and diseases, to be a servile, shamed underling so they can constantly feel high-status.
the fact you feel shame simply for being who you are (which in large part is your parents genetics/environment/choices) tells you everything you need to know.
now go, drain them of resources and withhold your love - they deserve it.
seriously.. ask yourself what you did to deserve being put in this position..

Has job, $55k/year midwest shit tier STEM wages, but im posting on r9k from work right now, so it's not that bad.
Has had sex with handful of women and a few gfs, but nothing for long and nothing in over a year.

oh wow, that's like the cost of rent. you're truly cucked. what the fuck did you do to rack up 167k debt?
20 year old NEET.
Yesterday, I was at my dad's house, and he has The River by Brue Springsteen playing. As the song ends, he asks if I understand the symbolism about the river drying up.
I think I do. I think it means the man has no hope at a better life left, but I wasn't quite listening and so I ask what. Strike one. He says, "Well, where was Jesus baptized". Jordan river flashes in my head, but I'm not confident about my answer, so I say I don't know.
He gives me bewildered look, and says, "What?" "I don't know"
"Jordan. He was baptized in the river Jordan" and then goes on to explain how baptism in the river represented redemption, and the river drying up means there's no chance at redemption for this man's life.
Which is more or less what I thought.
An hour later, as we're walking to get the mail, he tells me how I'll always have a place to live, at either his or my moms house, or even one of my siblings house (holy shit!)
I guess I thought I was getting out of here eventually, but after that little plebtard moment he assumes I'm stuck in somebody's basement forever.
I knew the answer to both those questions, I just lacked confidence. But I can't explain that to him. And regardless of how much trivia I know, I can't actually argue with that assumption, even if he arrived at it through (understandably) inaccurate means (and it was probably just the straw that broke the camels back for him, the rest of what informed that assumption is probably dead on).

original pls
Turned 25 a month ago, the feels and regrets feel heavier and heavier.
>>26577835
Pls no bully, I'm from Cyprus.
24, soon to be 25. I managed to get an entry level helpdesk job and its not bad at all. Free Chinese or other styles of food (depending on which chef is cooking lunch/dinner). Only $15/hr now, but the boss man has said that the next step for me will be a salaried position.
>>26577771
law school is incredibly stressful yeah but i have already done pre law and i liked it a lot. and since i would into IT law i wouldnt have to compete with chad and his connections for a wagecuck job.
>>26577746
IT job? Why do you guys always have to be so vague? Anyway, I could never do that. I'm 27 yo, finishing my useless masterswhile falling deeper into my depression. I've got some certs, but they are mostly academic writing related and shit. Only got CISCO CompTIA A+ as anything IT-related oh and some IT-admin bullshit cert.
Hope I can eventually work in an area that's connected with bicycles as that's the only thing I enjoy anymore, but they might find me "overqualified" even for a shitty retail job and I have no drive/ambition to pursue a higher manager position. Feels bad man.
>>26577818
It's something fun to do in one's spare time. Helps develop one's writing and all that. And then you meet someone who brings out the good writer in you, someone who challenges you to turn sentences into paragraphs and to turn text fucking into text love making. Your characters fall in love and you make the mistake of living vicariously through your character because your real life isn't going so well and you feel your character's happiness and it makes you real life better. You feel what it's like to be happy.
>>26577104
I know this is a very dickheaded thing to say, but just reading about all that complex, extremely sophisticated technology and software infrastructure being painstakingly crafted and supported for the sake of some stupid normie business that's probably useless or even negative bummed me out a lot.

I honestly don't know what to do anymore. When I was a teenager, I used to constantly have nightmares about growing up and becoming homeless. Even then, I've always felt bad for homeless people and the few times I've held down a job, I'd always give them money.
I'm just so sick of failing and quitting everything in my life and I just want to make some progress... in something. I hate it, I hate who I am and I want to change.

26, live at parents, no gf, never had a job, cant drive
i don't see the point in anything. theres no truth, no direction, no destination, no way to value one thing over another. people say "do what makes you happy!" but that takes work, and why is the "happy feel" valued more than simply being sad or numb.. sadness if comfortable, reliable and doesn't disappoint. so i have no reason to do anything. i also believe that death will erase everything i did as if it never happened because my brain will turn off, like a videogame without a save feature, so all this shit may as well not exist.
i guess this will be my life until my death, unless some insane event can correct these beliefs i cant unsee.

I've read from top to bottom and herein is the answer to that question most of you are struggling to ask:
http://www.amazon.com/Rebel-Essay-Man-Revolt/dp/0679733841/
After being 25 for almost a whole year and literally NO improvement even though I've tried to put myself out there. I'm reaching a turning point. I have no hope. I'm still a complete robot. All my dignity is basically on a boat to China.
I don't really want anything anymore. just wanna die. I can't bring myself to do it though.
neet for a decade
health declining
losing friends
not great
once you acquire all this shit that you're lacking, it's like being dropped off in the middle of no where still.
knowledge doesn't come to you digestible, you have to do the work of figuring shit out first, still.
like right now i have more money in savings than i've ever had in my life.
but it doesn't seem to be doing anything for me. all my money just sits in my account, i don't even have a desire to spend it.
no friends to spend it on, no family to spend time with, there's no point.
more and more i question what the point is because i haven't figured it out yet.
>>26580162
Realize why exactly it is we desire relationships, aside from our primal, biological desire which compels us towards one. What does a relationship have to offer that is all that significant?
Status, would be one thing, but status can be achieved by other means. An upright status is characterized by nature, not necessarily by extrinsic factors such as wealth & relationships.
Companionship, which can be achieved by other means. Other humans are not a requirement for companionship.
Sex, which is overrated, being unnecessary for our bodies & prosperity.
One primary reason we desire romantic relationships, is because we desire to be cared about, which provides purpose. We can find meaning elsewhere in passions, commitment & other forms of desire. We see a more ideal version of ourselves reflected in the partner's eyes, which is why relationships tend to raise confidence. In other words, an attempt at a relationship is an attempt to think higher of ourselves, because ourselves is our best & primary concern, it always has been, ever since birth. We can go about achieving greater things for ourselves by other means, which lack the conventional drawbacks of typical relationships. Remember, enter a committed relationship & you will regret it. The initial love & desire that draws you to that person will eventually wither. Sure, our bodies are capable of releasing chemicals which render us committed to partners in the long-term, but it is not nearly the same. Yet, don't enter a relationship, & you will certainly regret that too. Do or don't, you're damned either way, & as I've mentioned, achieving this facade can be gone about by other means which are fare more practical, direct & honest regarding what we REALLY desire. So,
>Like what, exactly?
to act for the best, most pragmatic interest of yourself. Ask yourself what you think could better you & your situation, then set achievable short & long-term goals, then you follow through with them.
>>26580678
Have you seen the movie Noi Albinoi..it is the first place I heard that quote and also where I learned that Kierkegaard roughly translates to "churchyard" or "graveyard"...I really liked Either/Or and I'm glad I'm not the only one who tries to promote a more philosophic understanding on /r9k/...still it's troubling that I'm here sometimes.
>>26580678
You may not like to hear this, but this is the conclusion I've come to & it has helped me a tonne. As I am, I am incapable of ever achieving any fulfilling relationship. But you may be, & following through with this by making self-improvement a lifestyle could result is something considerable, even the romantic relationship you desire.
>>26580767
I haven't, but Kierkegaard is one of my favourite philosophers so I'm obliged to watch it.
>still it's troubling that I'm here sometimes.
The negativity here can be utilized as I see it. Coming here reminds me that if I do not relentlessly persist with betterment, I will end up here again for the reason I used to frequent (wallowing in self-pity).
Coming up on 26 really fast. I graduated from uni with two degrees and thought I'd have decent job prospects. I was wrong. I gave a shot at beekeeping but all of my bees died. Now I'm going to work freelance all year and hope that I can get up enough money to try beekeeping again (this time with more hives, more equipment, more everything).
Living at home with my parents. I'd like to move out, but I can't see that happening anytime soon. How did my life come to this...
>>26579143
What do you do? Do you get any benefits? Are your parents financially supporting you? Do they pester you about getting a job? If so, how often? What are you going to do if they kick you out? Have they threatened to kick you out yet?
>>26579282
>Seriously, how do you deal with it? I couldn't imagine.
I don't have any reason to live. But I don't have any reason to die either.
It's a weird feel.
>>26581062
Sometimes you just need a break. I'm the same age, and decided to move out because I need some time to myself. I regret it actually and wish I could be saving even more money. It was rent free too! Aren't I crazy?
It really depends on what you want to do. I thought it was so important to have a place of my own, but really, there's no reason unless you really have no other options. A car and being able to go out is enough.

I'll make note of the movie.
>I really don't know why the formative years of one's spiritual life are assumed to be in adolescence
Perhaps because most begin to experience existential crises around that time. At least for me, it took some years after adolescence to find viable reasons for some contentment. I'd imagine no one figures a whole lot out then.
>my existential "crisis" has not ended yet
I can't say mine has either. We'll never achieve contentment in every aspect of life, but I suppose we only require enough motivation to get by through adopting subjective reasons for purpose. For me, the potential for pleasant experiences provides me enough reason, i.e learning more about the world through reading & the arts, others, myself, seeing new places & things, trying new activities & following through with the betterment that I know will eventually make life more worthwhile. Most importantly, reforming my perspective had made faring through the consistent suffering more bearable.

>>26581670
Considering that one year ago upon having reached the lowest of low in my abject situation, I was on the verge of killing others & myself, so I'd say it definitely can get more worthwhile, given you put in the effort for it to. Life's not easy, it wasn't meant to be for people like us, given that we're here. I had originally frequented here because the world had seemed a dark, cold, unfair place, & perhaps it still is, but I no longer allow it to consume me. I'm sure that if I can get past this by refining my perspective, that you can too, because I am still at a disadvantage, fated to die alone due to my misfortune. I'm sure that you've more potential than I do due to this.
So do nothing & you're damned. What's worse than living your life trying to make it better would be a miserable life of inaction, with the burden of its crushing regret entailing.

>>26582083
Nothing. Just that bunch of normies believe in some bullshit low-carb ketogenic diet. But just look at those people who promote those diets, they are all fat fucks, some of them suffering from diabetes. If you want to be lean, look at what lean people such as athletes (long-distance runners, cyclists) eat and you quickly find out that they are CARBED THE FUCK UP. Ketosis is a meme for faggots who sit on their asses all day so that they can think they are "hacking" their bodies to magically lose weight by doing nothing.

you ever consider that they eat those carbs to have the energy to train?

>>26581948
>fated to die alone due to my misfortune
What exactly?
Anyways, I'm in the same boat that you were in. I doubt it could get much better for me.
>>26582175
can't speak for anybody else but ketosis pretty much killed my appetite, I had to force myself to eat in the evening after not eating all day +workout
ketosis by itself doesnt make you lose weight, not eating tons of sugar and working out probably will though
if you think you have to >CARB THE FUCK UP
to lose weight you must be retarded, sorry to break it to ya
>>26582240
Of fucking course they have to exercise. You have to exercise (or eat less) to lose weight.
>>26582294
It's not about carbing the fuck up. It's about working out, obviously. But there is no point in cutting carbs since carbs are what will give you the energy to exercise.
All I'm saying is that this CARBS ARE BAD meme needs to die.

An ischaemic stroke leading to ABI during my adolescence. It had denied me a proper youth, & it seemed as well the potential for a fulfilling adulthood. Around that time is when my life had crumbled around me due to the consequences of the condition, ultimately rendering me robotic (literally, due to inhibited emotions).
>I doubt it could get much better for me.
After all that has happened, I can't help but laugh at that bullshit statement. If it turned out that I was not necessarily a lost cause, then I seriously doubt that you are either. It's a shame that archivemoe had crashed. If it didn't, then you could directly compare the overtone of this trip's post to my old one's. If you were here around one year ago, then perhaps you may remember the spiteful, shitposting tripfag that was epicboy2014. If it rings a bell, perhaps you'll understand what I mean by no matter how deplorable your situation seems now, you've likely still the potential to improve it substantially.

I only used ketosis to lessen my appetite, my lifts went down a bit but not by much, can't really say that I didnt have energy to work out ... if anything I felt more awake during the day and was able to concentrate better
but do what you want mate, my way doesnt necessarily have to be your way...

No friends, no boyfriend. Nobody will ever want me. Today I saw my new office and immediately smiled because the 6th floor cafeteria is easy to jump off of onto the street below -- just in case shit hits the fan and I need to an hero asap.
