I'm fucked. I've known I'm fucked for over 5 years now. There's no way out. There's no way to even make friends - everyone my age views me (rightly) as a manchild failure who never grew up, and can't relate to me at all because their lives are so far ahead of mine. The people whose lives *are* like mine are all teenagers, and they can't relate to me because I'm too old, and most of the shit I'm into is as old as, if not older than they are. They can also see that I'm a failure, too. I've literally had 14 year olds laugh at me: "You're 29 and still playing VIDEOGAMES!? HAHAHAHAHA LOSER."

My older brother's kid is 17. He has a job and a girlfriend and a bunch of buddies. I was like 11 when that kid was born, and he's already done more with his life than I have.

I literally could not feel lower.

There's basically nothing anyone could say or do to me to hurt me now. There's no bad thing that could happen to me and elicit more than a shrug of my shoulders and 'whatever'.

This is my life, until it ends, or I end it myself.

Because I'm NEET and have literally nothing else to do with my time, or nothing I can motivate myself to do, anyway.

I turn 27 this year.

I'm getting a lot done, I think. I have a comfy job that gives me more experience for what I want my real career to be. I've gotten publications accepted for this year, among a lot of other scholarship. I'm heading to a workshop for one of main interests this summer, and finishing up another degree in Fall.

Still feels like nothing, though. All my relatives talk down to me about what I do. I'm still not respected within those personal relationships. Literal none of them take an interest in what I'm doing, not even a polite feigned interest. It's like I'm never going to be anyone. No one worth bragging about, not even by my parents.

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy m8. Your life will never get better unless you make it better. It's literally just like an RPG. Your one-handed gets better when you use it, but nothing gets better if you spend all your time sitting at a booth in a lodge in winterhold. Even if you're a qt grill and you have life on easy mode, the only real easy way out is to marry a rich guy. They still have to work at shit to keep being attractive.

They talk about their jobs. They talk about their savings plans and their pension funds and their taxes and their wives and their kids.

To them, listening to me talk is like listening to a child talk, because I can only talk about child things, because that's all my life is, and all it can be.

I have no financial capital, no social capital, no intellectual capital. There is no way out, at all, ever.

There is nothing that will level up my social skill from the zero it is at right now. Do you think these problems started when I left highschool? No my friend, they started when I was fucking 4.

I'm literally incapable of socializing like normal people. From the day I started school to the day I finished it - every fucking day of every year - I was bullied, because everyone around me can just tell I'm not like them, that I can't think or act like them even if I tried or wanted to.

Nothing will fix me - no psychologist will cure will me.

This is all I have ever known and it is all I ever will know.

I'm 24 years old so I'm close enough to the cutoff. Not only do I have the life experiences of a 10-12 year old, but I also have the body of a teenage boy which, strangely enough, makes me feel like a child anyway

30 in a couple of months.

Life is great. Got a job that I like. Got a woman that I love. She earned the ring on her finger by going homeless with me when she had better options (they weren't extended to me).

3 dogs, all of them awesome. Living in a great place, and putting the final touches on turning it into a home (I need to make one more end table to match the coffee table). Also, I only have one more thing to cross off my list of shit to do by the time I'm 30: Sex while playing video games.


As for you, OP, your life begins the second you get out of high school. Don't wait for life to happen to you. Go out and make it happen.

Until they die, yes. My dad's 60 this year and clearly beginning to deteriorate, though my mother still seems to be completely fine.

Once they're both gone, I will probably sell the house and downsize into the tiniest little shithole I can find, where I'll subsist off whatever is left until it runs out, at which point I either starve, freeze, kill myself, or end up in whatever state welfare program will sustain my existence. Honestly I don't really give a shit which.

Ill be 28 in a month.

Life is ok. I fucked up when choosing my major, accounting is very dull. But by mere luck I ended up with a decent job that is not always as dull.

Im definetely an itrovert, but I had the best life I could ever have as an introvert. I was at the same private school from elementary until high school, and have friends that ive known since kindergarden. Was good at sports, and it gave me confidence.

Parents supported me and were mostly good intentioned.

However, I can relate to all of you. People are mostly pretty uninteresting to me, my hobbies are always different and talking to people is a drag. I used to care about what people tought of me, I cared so much I was paranoic about it, and still am.

If my life circumstances were different, Im pretty sure I would have ended a total robot.

If you want a good paying job without being bored, you go for skilled trades.

That said, if anyone is looking to go college, look up the median wage and growth levels of the job you hope to get from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Imagine if you had this link before you went to college:

I know that feel, and it only get's worse. I'm the guy who posted >>27964472, and at 24 I felt exactly the same. On top of that, 24 feels like fucking yesterday. 24 year old me is the same as 29 year old me. But then, 24 year old me is the same as 16 year old me, just hairier.

And like you, I also have the body of a teenage boy. A clean shave and I could probably walk into a school and blend in with the students.

I could pose as my own father and enroll myself in highschool again, and probably get away with it. I bet I'd quickly be identified as a fucking loser, though. I could fool them about my age, but not about the fact that I'm a fucking robot.

Sure. Skilled trades have plenty of apprenticeships. Now, the big 3 that you want to focus on is HVAC, Electrician, and Plumber. Welder is also appropriate, but a lot of people think they'll get rich welding, so it gets flooded, and it's hot, brutal work.

But yeah, I started as an electrician, and wound up as a Power Plant Operator a few years later.

Here's the job description for that: http://www.bls.gov/ooh/Production/Power-plant-operators-distributors-and-dispatchers.htm

If you are having trouble getting your foot in the door, there is also Tech schools that can give you experience for cheap. You'll essentially get to skip over the apprentice stage, and go into Journeyman, where the money is MUCH better.

>>27965744

I'm an accountant too. Public practice with small time NPO audits and corporate tax.

It's boring as fuck and soul crushing. I just started my CPA modules. It appears that the career choice is to have your firm pay for your CPA designation, spend how many years they require you to since they pay for it, and then use that designation to get a cushy corporate job or start a business.

Just turned 27 last month
KV
The worst part about this age is you are too alienated from your own peer group, who views you as a failure/loser/weirdo, and also too old to be able to associate with people just coming out of high school. You're on an island with no one to relate to. I imagine it only gets worse and worse as you get older. When you still are in your delusional 20s you can kind of pretend you are still young and things will still work out. But at 27 that hope has lost most of its shimmer.
Last time I felt anything for another person was my first semester of college at 24. Developed crush for a manic pixie in my piano class. Turns out she was actually evil and delights in destroying dudes. Got destroyed and that was the final destruction. 3 years later now and still in my junior year and on the verge of dropping out. Not sure what I'll do if I actually have to quit school.

Yeah. The BLS is the BEST thing a high schooler could look at before going to college, IF they want to go to college. There's plenty of opportunities for people to earn money that don't require college. In my state, we lost 1/3 of ALL electricians from 2012-2015. Imagine the demand for apprentices during those years. Demand inflates wages, and not many young people even considered it, which made the pay even BETTER.
>>
25. I honestly try to be positive, I try to look on the bright side, but then the realist in me always wins. Truth is we are a bunch of losers, in the past there wasn't an outlet like this for people like us, but here we are in 2016 communicating with each other. In life there are winners and losers, we happen to be the losers. I have the social skills and life experience of a 14-15 year old (I was a normie up until about that age). Still a KHV. I'm about to graduate this summer which means the one last place where I can meet girls is about to be done with, and I have nothing to show for it. From here on out, where would I even meet girls? Work? Not happening. Bars? Fuck no. Gym? hasn't happened in 5 years in 3 different gyms. I'm pretty much fucked, and so are most of you. Sad to say.

Best thing you can do IMO is start your own business, you will work long hours, but any success you have will be yours only, over time and with good luck and preparation you will own your own time.

Nah. Don't start your own business yet. Nobody will take you seriously until you're 25, and, considering half of all businesses fail in the first 5 years, you're begging for failure in that aspect.

Best thing to do is get as much experience as you can before 35, and then date women 10-15 years younger than you.

No. I tried different shit. I started caring what people thinking UNLESS I thought it was worth my time to care. As for women, I studied. I studied what women wanted.

And I faked it until I made it. I EXPECTED to fall over and over again. It's like learning to walk, or learning to ride your bike. You can't expect to learn without some bruises. Perfect what you're wanting to do IN REAL LIFE, and, if it STILL isn't working, study some more, and come up with a new strategy.

The most important thing to remember is that YOU ARE A PERSON. Demand that you are treated like one, ESPECIALLY in front of women. A black eye heals faster than emasculating yourself in front of people, and word spreading.

Brad Pitt looks like a mess in that coffee shop. Even then, on my best of days, I still don't come close to him in that scene. But it's not about his looks. It's about his confidence. Take a look at that scene in particular. Do you think for a second that anything the woman he was talking to could say would destroy his day? He knew what he was, and he was unapologetic about it, even though shit was going sideways for him in that moment.

Adopt the persona, not the looks.

Or focus on the superficial shit, feel awkward about it, and let women think about how awkward you act.

That said, if you truly respect yourself, you aren't fat.

Dropped the math course I need to graduate because it was too hard. Still have another year to go to graduate, assuming I can pass that class. Waiting on SSDI hearing as well. I plan on killing myself if I get denied.

I don't know why I'm even going to college. I have trouble doing basic things like remembering where I put my keys or if I have homework due or not.

all I want is a 40 hour a week job and to make enough to support myself and my hobbies.

I don't give a fuck about having a gf/wife, I don't want kids ever, I don't give a fuck about being rich and I don't give a fuck about friends or my extended family.

All I want is to go to work, come home, eat, watch anime/play games/browse the Internet, sleep and then do it over again until the weekend where I'll do nothing but hobbies and eat and sleep.

Some people will never view me as a grown up because I'll be living such a simple life but I don't give a fuck. I'm not going to lie to myself and do things society thinks I should just to fit in.

you say that, but the socialite aspect that comes with a day job (especially a 9-5) basically drags you into all that shit you don't want if you plan on advancing.

Most weakminded people end up wanting those things because the people around them value them. Stronger people hide their personal lives, but are viewed as distrustful. The strongest people end up fabricating and maintaining a thick facade, while coming off very personable and competent. Seeing as you post here, it's pretty easy to tell which you fall into.

And this is why - though it may feel bad in the moment while interacting with them - I'm glad I'm not one of them.

Sounds stupid but the older I get the worse I feel for my mom. She wants grandchildren, which I will never be able to give her. My Chad brother married an anorexic Stacy who is approaching 38, and doctors say she needs to gain weight to get pregnant but she refuses and is still competing with all the South Florida babes when she's way past it. I wish that lazy bitch would chow down and pop out a kid for my mother but it's looking less and less likely. My mother will die never having a grandchild which she always dreamed about having.

Congratulations you have ruined your life. Taking 8 years makes you look slow and incapable, most people do it 4 or 5 years and then go straight onto a post-doc. In addition, most PhDs are such specific topics of study that they have few transferable skills.

If you're not doing a post-doc then you have literally wasted 8 years of your life. That's 10 % of your life if you live to be 80. You will end up applying for jobs that that an undergrad could do. Much worse, employers will choose undergrads over you because they are younger, and they will look at you and think "why is a PhD applying for a job that an undergrad can do? There must be something wrong with him/her".

I know I'm gonna get called a SJW beta white knight cuck for this, but that scene gives off bad vibes for me. I fucking hate being bothered in public, or being bothered by random people at all. Brad Pitt in that scene invades that girl's personal space, then when she clearly shows not being into him and just wanting to be left alone, he persists and persists and never goes away. I don't want to be that guy. Not because I don't want to seem like a creep or anything like that, but because I would absolutely hate it if someone did that to me.

I think you just have to focus on profits and saving for a rainy day. Grow slowly and just try to be a "lifestyle company" where you run it just to earn money to maintain your lifestyle. Also know when to give up. And know when somethings are just down to luck. I shouldnt have hired so quickly and just ran things myself.

I really think any small business if you throw money at it can be successful. Buy out competitors, hire top talent. If you have enough money you can always find a way.

If I can get back up in 10 years I'll be 40 and maybe I'll do things right next time.

I think like a lot of people I'd rather just settle down in the middle of no where and drop out of society.

Well.. it's not that bad, I take being a dropout far worse.
I tried to kill myself for a, well, I guess it would classify as PTSD, and it was within reason at the time. I am glad it didn't work out because I had some amazing experiences in life after that.
Basically once you try and fail, you became aware that you indeed have it in you to do it. It gives you this newly found power of sorts. Power to distance from all the things that aren't worth your attention or time. I don't want to get all preachy and shit but I havent experienced anything as bad as that since, so may as well roll with being alive while I can. I don't suffer from it, it didnt leave me traumatized (which is ironic given that thats the exact reason why I tried to it), I wouldn't even have problems talking to people about it if I knew it wouldn't make them view me differently. I hardly ever think about it.

But at the same time, you kind of keep it in the back of your head. If life truly gets bad, if you ever get cornered, you have an exit. And that, in a really fucked up way, calms you and keeps you sane.

>>27971654
You clearly know nothing. Small business and company are two different things. The key is to really break your back in the first two to three years, work double shifts if you have to but save on the amount of employees, minimize the costs. Not certain but certainly not undoable.

>>27971789
Banks can give you loans for start up shit, it's common. Whether its feasible is another thing.

What you should'have done is got a job and saved up for it. Worked freely via craiglist or something, worked up a smallish network of references and word by mouth about you.

Is there competition close by? Are they developed and how much? How much will you have to pay rent for the office space monthly? Will you have to pay a whole year in advance? Is it a good location? How many employees do you need? What kind of discount can you get on the wholesale parts?

It's not nuclear physics, but it is a lot of work and it doesnt simply fall to whether jew man will give you money or not.

I never got a loan for my business. I was denied by everyone as I had no credit and every bank I spoke to wanted ~3 years of history running a business before theyd loan into it. I spoke with angel investors but none were interested, or they said to come back next year when they were investing again.

I was making money online in high school and in college before I dropped out. I took that money and shoved it all into my business.

Expanded, etc.

When things went bad, I just repeated what I did before. Shoved my money into it. Except now I had good credit and money flowing in/out for years so I had lots of unsecured credit lines. So I was foolish and rang them up hoping it would be like the first time and things would turn out.

If I had a full time job right now I'd just work the job and if I wanted to start a business, I would just spend time at night researching/planning/doing it on a small scale.

You want to open up a bar, create a blog and start writing down drink recipes and talking about the bar industry. Maybe youll earn some money and can roll it into something.

I need a job. I need that so that I can have some foundation to build a life upon. At the moment if my parents died tomorrow I'd have no option but to follow them to the grave. Any job that pays a livable wage and has guaranteed hours is my route out of this misery.

A lot of the people just here cry about their teenage woes, which is normal, they think te world is against them, then as they get older say 21 a lot of them will be properly adjust and commence normiehood.

R9k are mostly hapless teens and late blooming normies

25 turning 26 this year, feels horrible man.

>>27973967
Same here, but I realized I was screwed when I was 19.
>>
>>27973709

I did this for almost a year as a writer on what was formerly oDesk (now Upwork).
It was easy to make a living with just 5 hrs a day or work and no weekends, especially since I don't have to pay rent where I live.
But it really grinds you down. You have to keep finding customers by filtering through a ton of garbage listings posting by 3rd world jews or first world idiots. You have to deal with subhuman level of intellect on a daily basis, people that have grand ideas for making some shitty websites. Or just people that have done it for years and act like intermediates to squeeze money.
I don't see anyone making 35k a year doing that. Maybe something that requires an actual skill like coding, graphic illustration or 3d modeling but there are plenty of freelancers on those categories as well.

If anyone considers it I highly recommend avoiding anyone from India, Pakistan, or other 3rd world shithole because they're just trying to take advantage of your work and resell it. Also lie in your fucking profile and jack your rates up. Sounds like you know what you're talking about even if you don't. Most clients won't tell the difference. Never be overly nice with them, just like in life people just take advantage of your perceived weakness.

never had a real goal or direction in life
just kind of drifted through it putting in little effort only when absolutely necessary

I think not knowing what you want to do in life at an early age is a recipe for ending up in my shoes
I remember feeling completely disconnected when I finished highschool, I had no clue what I'm supposed to do next except for go to college because it was the "normal" path for someone like me
so I did 2 years of comp science, not because I had a plan coming out of it, just because I was "good with computers" which just really means I liked playing games on them
dropped out after I got a job because I couldn't balance that, school and World of Warcraft
my position got cut 3 years later and I never tried to get a new one
and let 6-7 years slip by since then

>>27974161

Making friends at 30 is not like making friends in school. People at that age (well normal people anyway) have a lot of shit on their plate. They don't just hang out and shoot the shit like they do when young. Besides, if someone is over 30, not married and not in a relationship they're usually also very fucked up or involved with drugs. So you don't really want to get familiar with them.
>>
>>27974188
That's what I meant, no one wants to casually hang out, people either don't want to go out at all or actively seek some quality friends for things to do in order to vent from family life. Extremes, nothing else.

Same thing from my previous post is what I wanted to imply about women. Should be easier to get laid when the biological clock is ticking.

I have no experience doing this so take what I say next with a grain of salt but if you're truly looking for making new friends or even a romantic one I suggest finding a RL interest group. You know something like a group formed around a particular hobby or activity.
Repeated interaction with the same people with breed familiarity and perhaps friendship.
>>
>>27974161
getting laid is easier if you are upfront about it
making friends is much much harder

work is not like school

>tfw also turning 27

25 was when the depression really hit home for me. i figured, by that point, it was already too late for meaningful changes. you're not going to accomplish anything on par with the person who actually made those changes when it was still viable. and every year after just solidifies it more and more until acceptance that you failed.

oh well.

25 year old. Feeling like a 16 year old.
Can't hold a job or studies or friends or relationships.
Agoraphobia and panic attacks when meeting strangers.

It's not so much the lack of achievements that bothers me it's the feeling of profound immaturity and lack of experience and lack of adulthood that bothers me. I pay my bills on time. I live alone cook for myself. But when it comes to social interactions- which is a huge aspect of human life- i just feel like a 5 year old. Yes i know- look at their eyes but i feel deep discomfort i suffocate and i want out so sometimes i avoid necessary but important social interactions such as going to the doctor or MAKING FRIENDS. I used to think that i'll just get older and things will get easier and that i'll get less stupid but i'm still that 16 year old who's afraid to talk to people and make friends because i have no social skills im monotone im low energy im scared shitless of people and my eyes dart and im shifty and my shoulders are tense and people are like whats up with this guy. All the jobs i attend theres always people making fun of me in my back. And it's just exhausting to try to fit in with normal people who socialize like it's a normal extension of themselves. when i socialize its like playing tetris but it only gives you squiggilies.

That was probably his first time turning the game on in a month and the way the picture was taken to make it seem candid..

Why do you people keep falling for this shit? Study after study has shown social media is fake as fuck. In many cases these people are showing the life they /wish/ they had and not the one they necessarily have.

Social media is one giant show off circle jerk and that is multiplied by 100x when it comes to really good looking people because many of them are narcissistic to the point of sociopathy.

I'm twenty six and things are okay for now. Kinda. I started running and quit smoking and got into college to finish my degree and have enough credits to double major in psychology and philosophy because yolo.

On the other hand one of my friends had moved to Oregon and became baby daddy and his gf just split on him because she didn't know better than to not date him in the first place and my only other friend finally just went full bitch after years of distrust and slowly growing differences and I'm not wasting my time on her anymore. Also I live at home but that was a given.

It's only costing me slightly less than a honda fit to finish up, so whatever. Also master's degrees require a degree in the first place so might as well have it be relevant to what I want to do, well already do but need some more clout behind and a license to really get the most out of.

I turned 27 in February, and I go to Uni.

Big mistake to go to Uni. There's no way a loser like me will ever finish a degree at university.

I should've just done what losers like me do, and found a blue-collar job and just made money and been happy with that, but no, I had to convince myself that I was somehow better than I really was.

I guess it was a valuable lesson.

Not to mention that the people pursuing shit with some kind of return are fucking miserable. You have to be a special kind of autistic to enjoy the STE in STEM and the people who actually do. Math majors are goddamn mystics and that shit has no profitable application outside academia. I would major in gym teacher studies as a backup because I like fencing and lifting heavy shit and running sometimes, but that woudnt make me happy. I'd just be doing it to get back at asshole normalfags and ogle the uncfuckable of unfuckables. Seriously, they look more like hot butch lesbians every day and that is not a turn on.
