I was really against the whole concept of killing yourself in my teens and early twenties since I'm not emotional faggot but I have to admit with each passing year the emergency exist looks brighter and brighter.
Anyone else feel the same?

Zero attempts for 28 years here.

I was a couple of years ago, but I realized most of the things I was trying to escape from were internal, and could be shut off.

This is what I fear most. I'm really young, only 19 years old, but I just hate the thought that my life will go nowhere.

How do you make money? And also, there is not such thing as internet relationships.

Where you from OP are you NEET
>>
>>27418231
I literally did every major life "milestone" after age 30. This includes moving out for the first time, graduating college, getting my first full time job, traveling abroad solo, losing my virginity and getting first gf, and fuck knows what else.

Normies at this point are solidly locked down by their careers/families/children/wives and even ex-wives, but you can do whatever you want on this Earth. Your birthday present is your freedom.
>>
>>27418231
god damn it you made me laugh in the library fuck you

>>27418231
I think your time has come. Now go to the nearest gun shop, buy a shotgun and do what you have to do. Its all over now. At least your death will be quick and you wount feel anything. Maybe bettet luck in next life.

We'll see. Wizchan seems a little more strictabout talking about your wizardhood from what I saw glancing the rules, ironically.

Sounds pretty good.

Why would you make a thread and tell us so little about you, did you just want to vent? Are you crying? What are you going to do?
>>
>>27418231
>I have accomplished literally nothing in my life.

OK, some questions to think about:

Are you happy, or at least, reasonably content?

What have you wanted to accomplish you haven't? Is it too late to do any of those things?

What constitutes an "accomplishment" for you, and how much do you need to do to feel you've truly succeeded?

Do you want to accomplish something for yourself or to prove something to someone else (e.g., family, your old crush or oneitis)?

Would you be satisfied with accomplishing something that mattered to you and your peers within your career or hobby, like being recognized for accomplishing a task most people thought was impossibly difficult, or coming up with a solution to a problem that other people can use in their own work?

Or are you looking for more universal recognition of your accomplishments?

Do you imagine individuals more accomplished than you work mostly for recognition, or do you think they have other goals?
>>
>>27419729
What do you want to know? There is not much to say because I'm a nobody. I'm just a loser NEET.

I'm not crying, I feel empty. I have no idea what I'm going to do.

>>27419737
>Are you happy, or at least, reasonably content?
No.

>What have you wanted to accomplish you haven't? Is it too late to do any of those things?
Go to school, get a girlfriend, become wealthy, start a family, have friends.

>What constitutes an "accomplishment" for you
Anything that's not sitting in my room being a disgusting NEET.

>Do you want to accomplish something for yourself
Yes. I'm always depressed and full of self loathing.

>Would you be satisfied with accomplishing something that mattered to you and your peers within your career or hobby, like being recognized for accomplishing a task most people thought was impossibly difficult, or coming up with a solution to a problem that other people can use in their own work?
I just want to be independent and actually do something, anything.

>Or are you looking for more universal recognition of your accomplishments?
No.

>Do you imagine individuals more accomplished than you work mostly for recognition, or do you think they have other goals?
I don't know. I only care about my own problems.

Does this mean you're a Wizard?

34 single NEET/Hikki here.

You failed at fitting in society, so you can only move forward and start doing what you want.
You probably have hobbies or projects, right? Use your energy on them.

And what got you there? The classic permavirgin porn & escapism combo or are you a junkie fallen Chad or whatever?

You're not a zombie right? Why do you say you're "just" a loser NEET you're an individual with a mind of your own and you are capable of thought right? Just blog a little bit.

When I see older robots with this kind of mindset I want to shake the fuck out of them until they show some kind of emotion.

Here's the thing.

In the past, for 99.999% of the population "accomplishing" something meant basically staying alive long enough to have a family. An insignificant amount of people actually did something worthy of mention, like invented a branch of mathematics or wrote a classic piece of literature. Note that it was pretty damn easy as a man to start a family--basically you needed few social skills and often marriages were either arranged or initiated after barely any amount of effort. Once the marriage took place, it was exceedingly rare for it to end. So basically, the man's main purpose in life was finished as long as he kept putting food on the table.

Now, Western men look at the cost:benefit ratio of starting a family and are increasingly choosing to stay single. Because of that, the only avenue for accomplishment is becoming famous or creating something long-lasting. Again, this is extraordinarily unlikely for most of the population. But we simultaneously have a society that feeds the fantasy that "you can do anything you want if you have the willpower!" Leading those who DON'T get what they want to conclude that they are just failures who didn't try hard enough. Thus you have tons of lonely single men in their 20's and 30's who feel like their existence is pointless because they realize they will never live up to the standard Western fantasy.

It's possible to feel fulfilled without having made some kind of permanent mark in the form of spreading your genes or building a temple that lasts 1000 years. But this takes immense willpower in itself, as it requires rejection of society, in some cases intense pressure from others who don't like you stepping outside the norm.

Find something you want to do and do it, whether that's reading about philosophy or making a garden or tracking Beanie Baby price trends on a spreadsheet. Don't bother yourself with whether it's approved by others.

This. Glad I'm not the only one who notices.

It honestly annoys the shit out of me to see people constantly giving a "you don't have ___ because you didn't try hard enough".
Those fuckers need to remember that If anyone could do anything then we wouldn't have specialized jobs or abilities.
>>
>>27420570

Just World fallacy. Pretty much universal among Western normies. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps, man up, just do it, everyone's got problems boohoo, etc.

>man up, just do it
Always chuckled at the fact that it pushes people to just fail more than anything else.

>but what doesn't kill you
makes you more miserable. That is reality.

>I just want to be independent and actually do something, anything.

That seems reasonable.

It sounds like you're fucked up in the head because you haven't accomplished commonly-accepted goals that say, "hey, I'm an adult".

That sucks, but what you want now is probably attainable (at least most of it...the girlfriend and wealthy aspects might take more effort).

Are you in the UK, North America, or somewhere else?

>Happy birthday, incidentally.
