Anyone else feel like that even if they were to finally get a job, gf etc, that they're so far behind the curve that all you'll be doing your entire life is catching up to what is normal for other people?
I'm 23 and I already feel older than most of the people on 4chan.
And the longer you fall behind the harder is it to get anywhere. You have gaps in your resume, you become more and more secluded and stop meeting new people, your chance of finding any kinda romance gets lower and lower.
I'm never going to catch up to my peers but I just want to do right by myself. I'm okay with a life of solitude and I believe there are interesting and worthwhile things I can do that way.

I just want someone to tell me that there's a chance things are going to get better. All I read every day is consistently depressing and there are no signs of any of us "making it."
Has anyone been here and turned their life around?

Like you really think you couldn't meet one person you'd get along with and do romantic shit with, like seriously billions of people on the planet and you don't think there is like even 1 you could spend one fucking fun night with?

I don't know man.
It has been over 5 years since I finished High School. I feel like I'd just scare girls away when they learn about my lack of experience anyway.
And for some reason I have standards still. I look at one of my only friend's girlfriend and I don't find her attractive at all.

So what bro, just do it.

I genuinely believe the answer is no. There might be 10 girls in the country alone that would be willing to spend any time with me. My social skills are just disgustingly bad even though I've put in so much effort in improving them, nothing feels natural to me. I can't just talk or chill like normal people. My sex skills are awful too, so any relationship I have with a girl wouldn't last long.

Work twice as hard as most people and you will be further ahead than most people anyways.
Easy to say, but hard to do, there is only one way forward.
You are still young as fuck, so don't blow it.
Normies are a bunch of liars. They exaggerate every story or things that happened in thier lives. If you got a good person for a wife and have a good job you are way ahead of normies. Normies have shit lives they are just good at pretending to be happy about it.

I'm the same mate. I'm a complete loner but I'd rather be a loner with my high standards than have lots of company/girls by lowering my standards to accept ugly/unintelligent/boring people.
Even if I myself come across as those things to other people, I still don't care.
Just embrace your high standards and find happiness elsewhere.

If it's only stuff like job, gf etc you can easily catchup. However i am 26, grew up in a poor and abusive family, with abusive people i thought were my friends, short, kinda ugly, probably autistic or mentally ill too. I had to abuse drugs and shit just to get by in my formative years, my life is shit through and through.
I used to think like you a few years back but after the years of isolation and abuse now i pretty much hate almost everyone. I am also always depressed and anxious and it gets harder when i have to work to provide for myself. I contemplate suicide a lot but i don't think i have the guts to do it. I get sick when i watch porn or i see couples IRL, i just want to see them die. I have never really connected with another human being it's like i am a different species.
I don't even want anything anymore, just to stay at home, browse the internet and play games and get drunk until my body gives up and dies.
25, got the job thing down pretty easily at 23. Once you get one job and work it for awhile its easy to fall in another. My social skills are pretty good now and I can talk and flirt with girls, but anything farther than that I fall off the cliff because I'm so behind. I would probably pass out if a girl kissed me. And I'm only getting older. Only thing us older guys can do is just say fuck it and try to salvage our lives. Also lie your ass off. Don't admit to being a virgin ever.

This is pretty much all you can do. It still sucks to see my peers doing amazing things while I waste away.
>>27650508

Stay strong. Don't come here when you are sad, this is a funny place when you are happy and the land of sorrow when depressed...
Btw for me everithing began with this:

I feel like this is true. It's never "too late" to catch up unless your specific ambitions or dreams have to do with youth or being in a certain kind of physical shape.
However, there is a point where your outlook on what life delivers to you is probably never going to improve.

no all what hapened two years after ending my NEETdom was even more workload
I have nothing
Pay the rent, food, buy food take care of my dog..
People threat me like trash anyways and talk to me only when they need money

>no all what hapened two years after ending my >NEETdom was even more workload
> workload
Oh yes...that will only increase. Forever.
But that's the game...
>get my shit together
>still be depressed and do the same shit i always did
>>27652776
Why are you wasting your money on a worthless dog which provides nothing?
Get rid of the waste of space.
>>27652860
Yeah, this.
If your baseline normal is sad, getting shit together will make you feel good for a bit but you'll eventually return to your baseline when it normalizes
>go to watch Wrestlemania at a mates from work with some other guys from work
>they're mostly normies apart from the one with aspergers and me
>this guy has a house, a wife, kids, a cute teenage stepdaughter who I managed to get a good look at her belly button at one point
>this guy has everything and is only a few years older than me
>when I get home to my mums house, it dawned on me that I have nothing

I am still agoraphobic and he forces me to leave home.
Is the sole reason i don't throw myself under train on my evening walks. The lonelines really hits on me hard after 5pm, every day.
He is also very funny. Now sleeps on my bed on his back, and quietly barks.
None of the people i met in my life were this nice to me.
Nobody ever needs me. The goddamn cash means nothing to me. I work to waste hours.
>>27650413
At this point, I don't think it's worth it to get better. I have no passions or goals in life and I have no interest to work just to work another day. Fuck that. Time to end this book and start a new one.
For me it's that I've been isolated for so long I can't communicate with other people anymore.

>dog
>nice and funny
It's animal not a person. You're pathetic.
You're 23 and think life sucks already? Well buckle up, fool.
