What dreams did you abandon, /r9k/
>>27293556
Pretty much all of them.
I accepted the nightmares.
>>27293556
getting my degree in engineering. just dropped out last week. I was good at the coursework but i have a shit memory so failed the exams.
>>27293556
i have abandoned all my dreams, aspirations, social life and relationships in exchange for memes.it was worth it
Being a patriarch.
>>27293588
is right. Maybe it's easier to never try than to try and admit you've failed. I wouldn't know, I won't try.
>>27293556
I never had any dream to begin with.
That's even more sad that failing to achieve your dreams.
>>27293616
whaaat?? if you can do the coursework you can pass the exams, imo, unless you literally have a memory disability
I wanted to be a doc and have a nice little family to take care of
Ahh, kid me was so enthusiastic
>>27293556
becoming attractive
the /fit/ter i become, the more i realize it's just never gonna happen.
on the bright side, i feel better physically
>>27293556
None
I just come here because seeing pathetic, irrelevant people whine about their suffering makes me smile

>>27293748
How did you guys never have a my dreams?
I mean really, none of you ever said "I wanna be an astronaut" or "when I grow up, I'm gonna be president"?
>>27293556

Finding love and happiness

I did a 2 year diploma in electronic engineering which was all coursework and got the highest overall grade so i still have a chance to get a lower end engineering job. but anything memory orientated I usually failed or did ok on, like my exams in school or uni.
Rockstar, I just can't do the drugs. Also play an instrument
>>27293872
how are you doing coursework if you can't pass exams though
do you just have the textbook/internet open the entire time telling you how to do it?
>>27293800
I don't know why, It's just that I never put any effort into anything and never felt the need to.
I never had any dreams, all I feel is dread.
>>27293556
I used to want a gf, but now I've grown to accept being alone and even prefer it. So does that count? I haven't abandoned any other dreams.
>>27293957
I can only remember things that i find interesting, when i did nothing but coursework and working on circuits all day in the diploma course, I'm pretty focused and so remember relevant stuff for the next day.
when i went to Uni all we did was sit in a lecture for 80% of the time looking at powerpoints then working on prebuilt circuits (we built them from the ground up in the diploma course). anyway when it comes to the exam times and i have to memorize uninteresting facts from books and old lectures Its literally impossible for me to get them in my head.
i have to use these facts in real world applications to get them in my head, which is why I'm just going for apprenticeships and junior positions now.

Being happy

>of going to college

>of getting a decent job

>tfw never had any dreams
>>27294054
I've never had dreams but I don't feel dread. No emotional extremes, just average satisfaction
The dream of having a decent career
Now I'd be perfectly happy with a mediocre low skill job that pays enough for rent and cheap food
I wanted to be a musician, but I couldn't make heads or tails of anything so I gave up. I wish I didn't, because I want to try again, but I'm too old to learn.
I wanted to be a poet, but I suck at writing.
I wanted to try prose, but again, I suck at writing.
I wanted to try painting, but no matter how hard I tried, it was ugly. So I gave up.
Everything comes together perfectly in my head, but when I try to put it down, it's all a mess.
Literally all I ever wanted to do was please my mother, that's all. That was my dream, just to make her see me as a good thing not some dissapointment
Too late now, she died knowing I was a worthless loser who couldn't even move out of the basement

I'm sorry anon
(original comment amirite bot)
>>27293556
I haven't yet. I've got an interview with Google tomorrow. Wish me luck brobots.
>>27296159
That's because writing is a skill you have to actively work on. It sounds like you just have a problem pushing through the tough parts of the learning process.
Set your sights lower, do some research, stop the negative thinking and give it another go.
>>27296248
>interview with Google
Hahahahahahahaha, no way you're getting that job, Anon
But say hi to Moot if you see him sucking the boss' dick
I wanted to save up a lot of money and abandon everything here, and then move to a tiny obscure country where nobody knows me and try again.
However, I am in too much debt to ever even dream of leaving, let alone starting anew.
How much debt are you in?

I have always wanted to be an artist but my self hatred is so deep that i cant look at my creations whitout feeling sick to my stomach
>>27296406
I don't even know anymore. I'm too afraid to look.
>>27296472
Same
I always feel like it's shit and then I look at a top notch painting and I think it's shit even more
>>27296497
More or less?
Either way couldn't you (theoretically) order a fake passport of the deep web and run away?
>>27296472
Every artist feels that way starting out. You need to show it to people you can trust to give constructive criticism. Don't publish anything publicly until they say you should.
You'll either always be kinda insecure but willing to take a chance, or you'll be like Kanye and think everything you make is a 11/10 masterwork.
>>27293556
I think the only dream I've really abandoned is contributing to the pool of human knowledge. Just became so disenfranchised with the university system.
Still working on some of the other ones, but who knows if I'll ever achieve them.
>>27296667
You can contribute to human knowledge and not join the modern academic system. Plenty of philosophers boycotted the academia circlejerk of the time.
>>27296601
Its not even that. Ive shown alot of people my doodles and paintings and pretty much all the normies are blown away, but for some reason i get angry at myself when i feel im "better" than anyone at anything and i feel like im worthless and so is everything i create.
>>27296692
Examples? Sounds like some interesting reading.
>>27296730
My best friend has some of my comedic stuff on his wall and it bothers me so much that i cant sleep at night
1) Get into politics
2) Life long monogamous relationships (with a women), a big house, a big yard, one dog and two kids. A decent paid 9 to 5 job so i could own all of this and a medium tier car.
here i'm, at the age of 22, dealing with my own failures
I've wanted to be a soldier ever since I was 13, I can't do it though because of a surgery.

That's the dream I've abandoned
NEETdom was so fun but I had to move on after a year, fun times I still reminisce over them
I want to do some biological field studies in the Amazon, but I have asthma and severe allergies so I would never be cleared to go.

Yeah its too much to ask for I guess

yes
YES.
But i never skipped meals, for example i woke up exactly when my mom finished the cooking
>>27297154
They actually approached me to become an officer. Maybe I should have done it, one of my friends did and now he spends every week driving around in his tank and telling other young guys how to drive around in tanks. Solid pay, no worries
