Just turned 22, and not at all impressed with what I've achieved in my life. People my age have good jobs, girlfriends, friends, good jobs, University qualifications etc..
Today has got me thinking about the future.
Also post 20+ feels my fellow robots. Forgot to mention in the OP since i just got up and my head is slow.
don't know what the point is any more,
if i wasn't such a pussy i'd have ended it already
Just turned 22 as well. Every year my life gets worse while I constantly try to improve.
I'm working in a factory, living with my dad, gained 150lbs in two years, and smoke a pack a day.
I'm 22 and I don't have any friends. Not sure where to go from here.
>>27828562
>>27828588
Feels bad 22's, being this age people will consider us more weird and fucked up or being alone / having no girlfriend. Just to get our life on track is a very long painful road.
Pretty hard though when no one gives you a chance.
I'm 27 and work as a digital forensics analyst.
I'm almost halfway to paying off my debt so I think I'm good.
But fuck everything else, still a kissless hugless virgin.
About to turn 21. All I have going for me is my grades in school which don't even matter because I spaz out at every interview I go to.
I know the whole "having a gf won't make you feel any better" meme, but I'm not happy right now and that's all I feel like I'm missing.
about to turn 21. i dont feel too bad about it because i have a job. whatever it is that im going to do with my life requires money, so cant go wrong with that.
23 here. Stuck in a dead end job polling political opinions. Every other day I walk into that fucking place and sit down and hear people say that I'm the scum of the earth for 4 hours while making 10.50 an hour, max 19 hours a week. I graduated with an art degree even though I couldn't draw because of a pity pass from my teachers (a relative passed away during finals). My degree is worthless and I have no job skills, and I feel like I'm slowly dying. Does anybody have a reason I shouldn't just end it now instead of when I'm 30 in the same position? KV, but I'm sure anybody that read this far could already tell.
>>27828353
i'm 26 and a neet. i also wont be able to start school at what i want this autumn so i have another year of neet ahed of me
shit shit shit
>>27828837
22 year old, never had a job, fat, in 6th year of 4 year degree. All my classmates graduated. Dont think i'll be able to complete this degree. dont know what to do. my country doesnt even have welfare.
31. Work two jobs in the service industry. Maybe get 1 or 2 full days off a month. Last week I put in over 70 hours. Still a virgin.
>just turned 18 and excited to legally post on 4chan
>too young for 20+ thread
>>27828353
it gets worse buddy,
but don't despair. the world need ditch diggers too.
>>27828837
What job? I was working as an armed guard, forced to talk and socialize with late 30's and 40 year old farts. And listen to problems about the loose wife and kids. As shit as it was at least i had money coming in.
The world revolves around money.
My life started improving literally the moment I turned 22 and it hasn't stopped improving yet. I think this might be my year guys.
20. In school living with parents and wageing. Still khhv. There is nothing I want to do and I hate working. Everything seems so pointless.
>>27829057
>but don't despair. the world need ditch diggers too.
Thank god we have wagecucks for that
>>27828353
Just turned 21. only a 1 year and half worth of college credits completed although I've been in college for 3 years.
Kissless virgin still.
No gf ever.
No friends.
No job.
Living with parents.
No motivation to finish my college degree even though its literally the only thing I can see that will make my life better. It makes no fucking sense.
Why can't i get fucking motivated to achieve something that will make my life better? Why?
what the fucking shit
>>27828353
Just turned 20 last Wednesday.
First week of real adulthood so far has been tiring.
I don't know how anyone does it!
Going to turn 23 in a few days.
Still obese, working on it.
Still virgin.
No friends.
Depressed and anxious.
Not doing well in school and I'm enumerate, but at least I have a job.
Plus I'm fucking balding I just realized.
I'm autistic. I think that is a source of most of my problems. Thinking hard about potential ways to cope with the side effects of that. Therapy, medication or otherwise.
I'd hate to go another decade like this. I'd hate to be 35 and still be in the same boat.
>>27828353
bout to turn 22. Gonna move to NYC and try to make something of my failure of a life
>>27828720
>people will consider us more weird and fucked up
>people will consider us
>people
stop caring about other people, friend
turning 23 this year. everyone I went to school with graduated college and I'm only technically a junior. I'm still socially awkward, and have no idea what I'm going to do once I graduate. 3 semesters left
I work shit jobs part time just to pay for my shit
>>27829154
>NYC
Literally the worst place you could move as a no-skills autist looking for opportunity. There are none there.
>>27829065
Political poller for a supposedly "neutral" poll who doesn't work for anybody yet chases the news anyway. I spend 4 hours a day listening to people call me an asshole and hang up on me. It isn't long hours but you're not allowed to do literally anything except stare at the screen, including talking to people, or drawing, or doing fucking anything except staring at the clock wishing for death. It doesn't even help with socialization practice because you just read from a script and you get scolded by supervisors who watch over your back if you don't read exactly what the script says.
I have no car. I have no money. I don't even know how to drive. I can't escape this living hell. Jesus Christ please kill me.
>>27829125
>Why can't i get fucking motivated to achieve something that will make my life better?
it's even worse to get motivated for like 2 days max and then go back to being depressed again. at least if you're depressed you don't try.
>>27829122
I'm the same but I don't have a job right now. I had a construction job over the summer though. I will kill myself if that is my life
I literally have nothing I want to do with my life, but I'm getting good grades still. There just isn't any meaning. Its all futile
tfw 26 and still virgin with shitty job living at home
the only thing that keeps me sane is liquor
the frog was smug but I am not
>>27829208
Agreed. The only thing I do know is that I'm not up for wagecucking much longer. If I can't get on neetbux I'll probably just off myself...

Thanks for reminding me i could have played interstate when i was heavily into soccer and played for more than 10 years when i was younger until i decided to quit out of the blues. Threw away what could have been.

Hmmm

>being lonely makes you an autist
Turn 22 in three weeks. Not really sure how I feel about it.
It's big for me because most of the people I know are going to be walking off with bachelors degrees, and I will have been out of high school for as long as I was in it.
35+ people would probably laugh at this, but I can't really see myself as 'young' anymore. I have nothing in common with teenagers OR people with careers and kids. I still get carded for liquor, but sometimes my back and knees hurt in the morning.
>>27829688
Im pretty sure solving loneliness by browsing r9k is considered autistic.
>>27829716
>thinks we are here to solve our loneliness
get out normie
>>27828941
I envy your wage slavery anon
>>27829694
Feels weird mate, riding past the bike and seeing kids playing, having fun. That used to be you at some point with no care in the world. You used to consider people our age as old people like those kids now consider us.
>I have nothing in common with teenagers
Neither do i, all they have to tell you about is usually the following;
>Had sex
>Went out to the club / pub
>Had some alcohol with friends
>girlfriend problems
>My career
>Tyrone hasn't arrived with my ganja so i can smoke it up with my spouse yet
Only if we could turn back the clock.

Tell me the truth. Trump is going to win?
>>27829832
>trump winning with the amount of spics, niggers, and women in the us
Turning 23 soon. Graduating college right before 24. Think I'll get a decent job as an electrician. No girlfriend or car or job but working on it. I have a few friends, sometimes wonder if they like me.
In retrospect my life sounds good, but like most of you I have an anxiety disorder. I'm fine talking to people but making myself talk to them or even leaving my room is the hardest part. I wish I wasn't such a girl about going out and doing things, it makes me feel weird and useless. I signed up for an activity tomorrow to force myself to socialize but I know I'll back out.
>>27829694
nah man you are still young.
just wait until you are 25.
>>27828353
Turned 24 in January. Tried to turn things around.
>Lose weight
>Get fit
>Stop thinking about suicide 24/7
>No more road rage
>Working more hours, not hating every second of it
>Taking up piano again
But today I was thinking about how alone I am and it's brought me down. I haven't felt this way in weeks. It's so hard to keep it together.
>>27830362
litrelly no hope is there? why even improve if nothing comes out of it
>>27830362
Where're you from? This is my very original phrasing of a question
>>27828353
Hey OP 21 over here. I like where your head is at, I just quit my job at PF. Changs as a waiter. Tired of getting paid in only tips and doing others work because they slack and are deadbeat shites. going to join the military, most likely Airforce or Coast Guard but reasearching it all. Just to use the armed forces as a stepping stone forward on my journey I realized that I just don't want to keep living as a dependant of my parents and just feel worthless. I've been thinking about the future to familia.
>>27828353
>tfw 21 and people my age already have internships or are graduating with their major
>I'm struggling to finish my associates at a CC
just kill me
>>27830462
I'm thinking about joining the military as well, in fact i was thinking about sending in my application today via online in hopes of getting infantry. Only thing I've got going for me.
I highly doubt I'll be able to get myself out of this ditch otherwise.
>>27830451
Colorado. Want to get out by June though, got some money saved up and trimming all my possessions down to where I can fit them in my car.
>>27830444
I dunno mang, I've lost so much weight so fast and my mental state has improved dramatically (with the help of antidepressants unfortunately), so I'm not letting go just yet.
>>27828353
>23
>Last year at uni
>zero connections
>zero friends
>no sexual experience
The best years of my life as one could say.
>>27830507
what's wrong with colorado?
>>27830569
I've lived here my whole life. Grew up here, went to college here, and now I live with my parents.
I'm fucking done with it, I need the fresh start I should've gotten at a college 1000 miles away
>>27830507
>I dunno mang, I've lost so much weight so fast and my mental state has improved dramatically (with the help of antidepressants unfortunately), so I'm not letting go just yet.
not all of us are fat
>>27830653
But I was. Hence why losing weight was important for me.
>>27830507
Aww, too bad. I'm currenty in the US on vacation. I'd have visited youand killed you
>>27830610
you can come live with my parents and i'll come live with your parents
>tfw employed and still useless
Its better to be neet if you are worthless person t b h
>>27830513
Same here, only replace uni with community college.
I got used to the loneliness after getting rejected (can't even get a friend) so many times and spending a couple years after high school living the NEET hermit life. That loneliness is not easy to overcome, since it's in people's nature to want to socialize.
You guys are alright, I'd rather talk to people that call me a faggot instead of giving me those silent stares like I fucked their dog or something.
>>27828353
Im 26, i work for enterprise rent a car. its the most challenging job ive ever had (worked various jobs since i was 16), but ive completely paid off my car/school loans and am saving for the downpayment on a house. going to be promoted pretty soon as well
had a fiance but i broke up with her when she was being a shithead
i learned to stop going for get rich quick stuff (i opened my own food truck and was generally successful but left to try to make quick money in sales) and play the long game
if you dont have the resources/inspiration/drive to start your own business, find a company that promotes well and start on the bottom level, work your way up. costco is another solid choice, nobody works there for 5+ years without making enough money to support a family

I wish i could talk to you i bet you have some interesting opinions and insights to share.
>>27831150
"Interesting" is only defined by the listener.

Proof that he won't finish his degree, he can't even do basic math.
>>27831375

>>27831221
Maybe you'd find me boring and bland.
>>27831571
I could say the same thing. Not much goes on in my life either unless we want to talk about shitty MRSA infections (as of late).
It's probably because I stay inside a lot, don't really see many things considered interesting.
>>27828353
>Jobs
>Friends
>Girlfriend
None of those are achievements, the real achievements are:
>Money
>Contacts
>Sex
Be great don't be a slave.
>>27831703
>>Money
>>Contacts
>>Sex
so basically to use everyone?
>>27832102
It is only using if you offer nothing in return.
A lot of human interaction is fairly shallow unless you meet people who like what you like, and even then that has a limit. About as shallow as that guy's near-synonymous description.
They do have a point though; don't be a slave. Find something you can attain that makes you happy and go from there. Ain't got much as is, and you'll have less if you bend over backwards for something you don't like.

So UCL?
If it was Oxbridge you would have said, Imperial doesn't do languages, nor does LSE as far as I know so UCL is the only one left.
>>27832643
A night guard would be most fitting for robots, as you wouldn't meet people unless they were intruders.

No Warwick. UCL is overrated
