I'm such a piece of shit. It's getting hard to look in my mother's eyes with all this guilt building up.
32 yrs old. Was in great shape in my early 20s, then lost it when I atarted working a lot. Been working hard to get in shape again the past few years. It's really been paying off and I feel like im winding back the clock. Also ive been using rogaine every day to keep my hair. Looks decent now.
My career has been great for the past four years or so, but prior to that I was heavy in debt. I worked hard to het in the posotive but now have a house to show for it.
Properly focused work pays off, friends.
I'll be 26 on April 14th senpai, how's shit going for you guys?

It's ridiculous how shallow people are.
>>27713992
What do you think you wanna do in life senpai?
29 here.
I'm just tired honestly. I have been depressed for so long that I am just emotionally exausted from living. My family is starting to die off, my Parents' health is deteriorating and here I am alone and the same as I was 20 years ago, although older now.
I guess its not all that bad because I dont care anymore. I used to have no gf feels and loneliness but now I am just empty and dead inside.

It's an awful feel realizing what you want to do is gated behind education after spending seven years getting a worthless degree. The idea of going back to school makes me nauseous while the prospect of wagecucking for the rest of my life doing something I hate makes me suicidal.
>>27714244
Hey, I'm 29, too, and I can relate with
>I'm just tired
Though, it's more of a physical tiredness.
I don't feel depressed or lonely and I'd rather be alone.
But, whatever -- life's a bore.
>>27714284
Have a fap right now for really really big cummies. Make sure to edge for at least 2 hours.
>>27714284
Use it or lose it bruh. Im in my 30s and I still fap at least 2x a day. I may stop fapping if I get laid. But last sunday I fapped 3x and still was able to fuck my wife after. some days ill still go on a 6x fap binge. Feels amazing man.
>>27712515
I'm 48, and have no money, no mortgage, no investments, no car, all my possessions can fit in a backpack. I live in a bare, unfinished, concrete basement in a century-old factory which was abandoned for over a decade. I have no fridge, no stove, and have to take sponge baths in the sink because there's no shower.
And my life is awesome.
See, rather than mope around in self-pity, I never let my robotdom hold me back. I've had a full and exciting and entirely untraditional life. I've hosted two radio shows, run for public office, founded my own NGO, been professionally published as a fiction writer, and have a Wikipedia article written about me. If you people would stop feeling sorry for yourselves and throw yourselves into life, start taking risks and not worrying what people think of you, you too could have an amazing and full life. No, you will never have the wife and kids and suburban bungalow and two-year-old SUV in the driveway, but, frankly, who the fuck wants that shit anyway?
Fly your freak flag high and proud, robots, and let the haters hate.

Hey man. How do you get money for food and stuff? Where do you take your shits
>>27712621
tfw autistic landwhale so neither of these would accept me
>>27714745
There's a small bathroom here with a toilet and sink. And I do tarot readings on a little folding table on the street for cash. I've encouraged robots here to take up busking many times here, and I am completely ignored every time. Busking is the ideal robot occupation: you get out of the house and into the open air, you get to meet people in a non-threatening way, and you make untraceable cash money while performing a useful function by entertaining people. Everyone can do *something*. I do tarot, but you can play an instrument, juggle, sing, clown, mime, or even just cover yourself in grey paint and stand perfectly still for hours as a living statue.
>>27713170

Too bad you get arrested in about 5 minutes without a license, at least where I live.
>>27714830
That's very cool, thanks for sharing. I am going to have to find something unique that I can do because I know I'm going to be homeless sometime this year and will have to busk for money. Panhandling is lame and degrading IMO.
>>27714907
There's still ways to do it. For instance, in cold and rainy weather, I do my tarot readings in bars. There's a handful of trendy bars who like having me there, and allow me to set up a little candle and sign and do readings. I can pull in $200 on a busy Saturday night, though the average is more like $80.
>>27714967
Nice, that's the monthly salary in my country.
>>27714940
Maybe I can help. What do you enjoy doing? What are you good at doing? If you're creative, you can make money doing almost anything. There was a guy here who made a sort of desk which hung around his shoulders with a small manual typewriter, and he'd go around composing original poems on the spot for $10 a pop on whatever theme people wanted. Tourists loved him. He'd type up the poem, then sign it, and they'd have a unique, personalized souvenier.

I joined the military at 24, it's no picnic but it is mostly a fresh start. I still have no gf and wish I had done more with my life, but it could be worse. If you are truly at the end of your chain I would recommend you to try the Navy or Coast Guard. Life on a ship is appropriately robotic and isolates you from society. Could do worse desu senpai.
>>27716174
I knew a guy who did 6 months on the DEW line and made enough money he could take the next two years off. You're completely isolated with nothing to do but play vidya and read books, so you get danger pay and hardship pay along with a salary which is essentially paying you for 24/7 work while supplying you with free food and shelter. So few people are capable of being isolated for so long that they bribe people with colossal amounts of money to do it.
The only restrictions are, like people who work in Antarctica, they won't take you if you have underlying medical conditions or you haven't had your appendix out since any kind of medical emergency is a death sentence.
19 year old here, I don't understand you old faggots still on this website, don't you know this website is mostly for people in their late teens/ early twenties? You guys are like those creepy middle aged men who play in Yugioh tournaments against little kids. If I am still on this board in 6 years I fully plan on acknowledging that I have failed in life and killing myself rather than continue as some old loser.
>>27714255

>>27716352
Joke's on you bud when I was your age I wasn't dicking around on a chinese cartoon website, I was doing drugs and getting drunk and going to parties and dating girls and then cheating on those girls and almost immediately feeling bad about it and swearing to never do it again.
You're wasting the best years of your life, looking at pictures of cartoon frogs pooing in the mouth of a sad cartoon man. What are YOU doing here?

I said "was", was doing drugs and dating underage girls and all that.
Now that I got that out of my system (and also gave up on life) I'm just sitting here watching anime and shitposting with memes. Basically what almost everyone else is doing here except they're wasting their youth and I didn't :^).
>>27716518
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distant_Early_Warning_Line
The DEW line *was* on land. Apparently it no longer exists, but I'm sure they have the equivalent if you look for it. For example, I knew a guy who made a shit-tonne of money as a field engineer in the oil patch in places like Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. He'd work 16 hour days for a few months out in the desert, risking death from heat, snakebite, and Bedouin bandits, and then he'd made enough money to take the next year or two off.

This website wasn't "meant for kids." You're cancer. Come sit on daddy's knee and I'll tell you a story.
Once upon a time there was a website which attracted genuine subversives: anarchists, paedophiles, black hat hackers, activists, and all manner of sociopaths and shit-disturbers. These people turned into Anonymous and made some very serious men in dark suits and Gargoyle shades very angry. These very serious men made it known to m00t that he could either nerf his subversive website into the text equivalent of Habbo Hotel or he could get all his servers seized by the NSA and spend some quality time in Gitmo. And because m00tiekins had the spine of a jellyfish, he kicked out the subversives and opened the door to you brainless little teenyboppers to keep the ad revenue rolling in.
So we're not trespassing on your website, you sunken-headed twerp, YOU are squatting on OURS.

Life is a curse, not a gift. You get 18 years of freedom, then you spend the rest of your life slaving away 7-10 hours a day, and getting very little time to enjoy being alive because you're spending all your time slaving away for some fatcat CEO in an office chair for worthless green paper. If you manage to live to retirement age, hooray! You get a good 5-10 years of freedom before you drop over dead.
Fuck this life.
Get some Ritalin or Amps and pull your shit together.
I was you with EXACTLY THE SAME FEELINGS seven years ago.
I fucked around and now I'm 32 and just in a worse position.
I hate doctors and didn't get meds. Fuck SSRIs, but there are other brain-altering chems that actually knock your head around that might be good.
Wellbutrin, Ritalin, etc.
>>27717455
Exactly.
The worst part is that I've talked to older people. There was a time when companies gave a shit about their employees and everyone worked for everyone. People were proud of their work who they worked for.
Now, everyone is just a number in a spreadsheet. No one cares. People get fired or otherwise forced out because they're making too much and CEOs want to hire someone for as little as possible. Those people get hired on as temps, worked to the bone with promises that they'll get hired, then drop them as soon as possible.
I've seen it all happen. I'm part of that shitty system. I was a temp for 7 months before I was hired, and I had to fight for $12/hr because they wanted to give me jack shit. I worked a year of pure shit and got a $.12 cost of living raise, but I was promised about 7 raises throughout that year.
Life isn't worth it.
Every day, I'm closer to pulling the trigger. It's just sitting there in my night stand.

Bald looks good if you're tall and muscular because then you can claim you went clean shaven for athletic reasons, when you're an obese manlet it just makes you look pathetic.
I've embraced it. I just said fuck it and maximize my bad looks now, people often stare and I get recognized around town.
I actually wear a dirty old fedora that's been smashed under my car seats a dozen times,
I wear the same swim trunks instead of pants every day of the week---the material keeps my balls dry so I don't sweat as much in my ballsack but I still make what I call a defensive 'musk' , I have a long santa esque beard (it's starting to gray) when it gets a bit longer Im gonna braid it like King Tut

DOes anyone else ever like, read a book or get into a TV show and the protagonist is just so fucking driven and spends all their time doing their awesome job and they're so focused and I can only be fucking bothered rolling out of bed and watching the 24hr News channel.
I dunno what I'm getting at, but I guess, these hardworking, driven protagonists was how I imagined my adult life would be except in reality, I'm 29 now. At this age my Dad was an engineer and married and I'm jsut fucking nothing.

ITT: The failed generation.
We are the product of the perfect shitstorm. The war in Iraq, the irresponsibility of baby boomers and the corruption of global banks.
Our insanity can still be seen in today's youth but it is being masked by consumerism and the media. Most people (which we refer to as normies) are too concerned with the next season of Game of Thrones and the newest iPhone to think about how hard they got fucked. Just stay calm and pay off that college debt.
25+ NEETs are the only true victors. And my heart bleeds for those who didnt have parents who understood how our generation got fucked.

>>27712648
But what's the point of having a job? So that you can buy shit you don't even need or make you happy? I have zero need for anything other than food, water and an internet connection. That's literally all I need. Nothing makes me happy, I can't enjoy anything. So why would I waste my life away working on someones else's shekels?
Even if I had a job, what would change? I could accumulate a few bucks on my account and do what with it? Spend it on videogames? I'm not stupid. Spend it on movies? Music? No thanks.
I could spend it on my family, my wife and kids if I had them I guess. But without an SO, life literally has no meaning. It's a never ending suffering.
It's true what they say, money can't buy happiness. Or love.
OP here Older anons: what do I do? I feel at 25 I'm just on a one way track towards failure

I don't know man. Everything is just so depressing. I live in Europe, and it's taken as fact that white people in Europe will be a minority in 20 years or less. Just fucking what's the point of living in a sandnigger/nigger/gypsy infested country? And people don't even seem to care. They will say, "oh, that's bad I guess" and then proceed to elect the same politicians who made all this nightmare a reality. The media brainwashing is incredible. I see no future in Europe. Maybe I should move to Australia or New Zealand. Are they any better?
So I don't know what to do either. I spent 6 years on a degree that I've grown to hate. I guess I could make some serious money in my field but for what? So that I can buy the latest iPhone? Life is just so fucking pointless at this point.

I mean I've seen many god ugly male actors, sure, they get paid probably shit, but who cares, they do what they like, they fuck a shitton of bitches. I'm sure I'd burn out quick and possible kill myself in a couple years, but at least I could say I enjoyed my life.

Loneliness has finally destroyed me Have no ambition to make money or have a career. For what reason? I'm never going to be able to share my life and experiences with anyone I care about. Oh nice, I can buy a new car... that'll be fun for 10 seconds. Go travel? Yea experiencing new stuff by myself without anyone to talk about it with. Big house? Just another reminder of emptiness.
It's all so pointless by yourself
>>27720713
To have small talk you actually have to have a life. People who sit in front of their computer all day and shitpost on chinese cartoon image boards have nothing to talk about, or what they have are shitposting-IRL style shit that scare people away.
I also don't like to share my opinions on thing because I'm afraid other people will judge me for it, the same way i judge other people for theirs. You could call my "mysterious" but in fact I just don't like when people know what i think. I mean it's not their fucking business.
I also don't know what to ask people. I'm constantly questioning myself if the questions are too rude? or would the other person freak out if I ask this and that? isn't it too personal? I just don't know how to do it. I guess I just don't like asking questions to a person to which I wouldn't like to give an answers myself.

>>27720916
>didn't graduate with a high GPA then you have a worthless degree
>>27720773
You're thinking too much, and no you dont have to have a life. This shit was called "manners" back when I was growing up. Small talk is just asking people how there day has been, telling them it is nice to see them, and other BS. Nobody is actually serious or cares about what is discussed. It's just a polite way to acknowledge others.
>>27720946
if it's 2016 and you didn't graduate with a high gpa you may as well have not done a degree.
its 2016, a bachelor degree is the new high school cert.
even the retard dropout kids have bachelors these days.
>>27720980

If they've given you the interview then yes.
The purpose of an interview is not to assess a candidate's formal qualifications so much as it is to assess how good of a fit they will be at the organisation. If they obtained the degree then they're good enough, considering that even somebody with the best marks will not be job-ready for a month or so anyway.
Not only do I have a job, my job is in hiring and firing at the corporate side of one of Australia's largest retailers.
>>27721395
If the other guy 3.8 and you got 3.2 you're fucked.
You guys are conflating the job market like 20 years ago where they actually gave a shit about your personality or other shit.
Especially for entry level, nobody gives a fuck.
Do you think CEOs sit around perusing entry level applications? Oh gee he got 3.2 but he's really displaying personality traits that we find admirable.
No its more like hey just take the top 5 marks for the entry level positions and turf the rests.
>>27721507
hint: you won't get the interview.
jesus ur dumb.
hey i cant even do well in uni but pls consider me still mr interviewer cos i have a big heart.

>>27721523
>hint: you won't get the interview.
I give out the interviews.
I regularly give out interviews to people with middling marks who have other good qualifications. Uni marks are not the be-all, end-all of your application. You do need something else though to give me a reason to consider you.
But every person who enters an interview enters on equal footing, basically. Nobody has ever said "candidate A did really poorly on the interview but he got straight 7s at uni so we'll hire him" when candidate B came across as a likeable, motivated born leader who got 4s and 5s. Unless you are hiring for the absolute top level high skill positions then you don't need the absolute top level of skills to fill them.
>hey i cant even do well in uni but pls consider me still mr interviewer cos i have a big heart.
I have literally given people jobs based on this. I don't need to hire a genius, I need to hire somebody who can do their job, get along with people, and take the initiative. Everyone with a degree is capable of doing the job. Even some people without degrees are capable of doing the job, depending on what we're hiring for.
I am a recruiter. I know what gets jobs better than you do. Accept it and move on.

Suffered from anxiety & depression for almost half my life. Avoidance is my primary coping strategy and I don't know any other way to live.
I don't know how to handle responsibility, relationships, work or basically anything else that lets you become a well rounded and independent human being.
Only ever had 1 job which was in 2007 and I stacked shelves at Tesco for 10 weeks before they fired all the temps on Christmas eve.
I have no hireable skill, no education qualifications and I could only ever find work in the services industry. Even then I'd be competing against 300 other people for the same burger flipping job.

I'm a card-carrying Wobbly and used to identify as an anarcho-syndicalist, but 25 years of working with leftists has taught me that I really don't want to share-and-share-alike with people who disappear the second any boring scutwork needs to be done, but are johnny-on-the-spot whenever there's a photo op which needs taking or a manifesto which needs writing.
These days I identify as a mutualist anarchist. If I'm doing all the work, I want a way to track who is doing what, and to be recognized for the work I do. My flag is still black, just a little less red.

What is the field my negro
>>27722992
Start working on building your future. The sense of hopelessness when your older and still a loser is unbearable
25 and I lost my job of four years
...what do i do now. Nobody wants to hire my retarded ass.
>>27714403
>tfw
26, & I'm been struggling to get an Acocunting degree.
Realize I'd rather go into Environmental Science
>too fucking late
Shit sucks, time never stops and I feel like I'm too old to waste more years and not have anything on my resume.
>>27723584
Not too late. Would you rather be miserable your entire life or spend a few more years in school and be happy?
I'm 26 and will go back to uni this autumn.
>>27712515
>26
>get paralysed in certain areas and stay in bed for two years depressed
>Get a job related to my art degree after it all
>Two years ongoing and have had two raises
>Gf moved out for a job far away
>zero friends and still rockin 'the most likely to shoot up a school' aura
>Not sure if I should leave my job in the hope of something better with my gf or stick with this job
6/10 really
>>27712515
Pretty much I was the same way out of school.It took me a little over a year to find a good job but I've been in it a couple years and it's comfy. Not the best, but it's better than me being a shut in. 90% of interviews are a popularity contest. Smile, do the whole normie act, laugh at their cringey jokes.lie.
Remember that you won't be unemployed forever unless you choose to be. Don't focus strictly on getting a job. Eat somewhat healthy at least a few days a week, go on walks outside a few days a week. I hit rock bottom by staying inside 24/7 and eating shitty. If you can enjoy yourself a little bit you'll get that job.
>>27723529
What was your job senpai?
>>27723614
I've never had a real job though, since I've been 20 flipping packages at UPS + I'm still living at home.
I feel like if I don't hurry up employers wiould rather just choose the fresh 22 grad with no experience over the approaching 30 loser.

She's with someone else. You're only lying to yourself if you think otherwise.

>I don't understand you old faggots still on this website, don't you know this website is mostly for people in their late teens/ early twenties?
You have no fucking clue. You're the young one in an old man's bar/sauna. We have come here after everything fell apart, when I was 19 I wouldn't have touched a website like this.

Do I try and join her and hope I get a new job as good as the one I have now and hope that she hasn't been claimed or do I just stay here and let it happen?

The only saving grace in all of this is my part time job that pays $17/hr. If I had to work minimum wage again I'd just kill myself.
>>27721508

Consulting is a huge field... even in IT consulting there's like a thousand different subfields
You'll find consultants for every job there is... companies hire consultants because it costs them less than hiring someone with that know how and experience with a fixed contract... once the project is done the consultant is gone. And if they ever need an upgrade / something fixed they hire you again for a limited amount of time.
Basically I do the same stuff a system architect / software engineer would do, only more efficiently and for a lot higher hourly wage.
People pay ~1000 Euros a day for me to work for them and I'm currently booked for the next 8 months.
>>27723977
Just lie about your experience.
>>27724865
She's already gone, man. You let her go when you stood still as the winds of change swept her off her feet.
>>27713170
Keep living the dream.
I'm in my early 20's now and I just want things to turn around, but they never fucking do.

Calling yourself a Neet when you're under 18 and live at home is a bit of a stretch.
>>27726191
neet = not in employment, education or training
How is that a stretch just because i live at home? I didn't tell anybody that i was not working and not going to school.
>>27716352
This is like watching someone laugh and point while a train is about to slam into them from behind at full speed.
If you think people come to r9k because they're in a temporary rut and they just want to share feels for a while until they go back to normie life, you're in for a little surprise, child.
>>27716542
so not the same situation at all, you dummy
>>27726260
So where is the line drawn? Is a newborn a Neet too?

>saying it's gets better
>NINETEEN
When I was 19, I thought the same way. When I was 20, I got a job that I loved working with people I liked and bounced around a few other jobs on the side to pay rent. I lived on my own, I was independent, and things weren't so bad.
Now I'm 27, and I know better. My job is shitty, my pay is shitty, I started school to try and get out of it, but I don't have the time and energy to devote to it.
Life doesn't get better kid. Life isn't fair, either. There aren't equal opportunities for everyone. There's not some checklist of things to do right where you earn a big reward at the end. Smokers live to be 100 and runners die of cancer. Hard working people get shit on by do nothing CEOs. Some people are born into money and others can't afford to eat. Most of us are smack dab in the middle of hell, but swear we're actually millionaires having a bit of bad luck.
Don't come here acting like you know shit about anything. Come back in a few years when your happy little fairy tail is lifted from your eyes.

This fucking guy gets it.
26 here. Optimism has steadily declined. It becomes very painfully obvious that inertia applies to humans as much as inanimate objects, just like chance and luck.
just get a nigger tier job and earn some bucks, it will really make you feel better
>>27721640
This lifes we have...this is some sort of test, we are in a swamp right now, it depends on us if we can have hope and swim or just lose it and sink...
Swim anon, swim, i will try aswell
>>27726535
Nah. Not him, but nah.
I'm putting honest thought right now as to what I'm going to do next. I've been here for the better part of 2 hours milling it over. I'm done. What little will I had has been swept away, and I feel like the time is right. One pop and lights out forever.
>>27726682
Sorry to hear that anon, no one said swiming was easy, see you on the other side...
