Let's have a subtle masochism thread.
>post your age
>think of 7 years prior, of what/where/who you thought you'd grow up to be, then post it
>think of the present, of what/where/who you actually are, then post it

>haven't had a friend in +4 years, and trying to feign passion in my dying interests in music, programming, and reading while plotting for a comfortable, quiet suicide
where can I find a pretentious, post rock loving, GY!BE listening gf?

The meme is to just frequent shows, but at every show I've been to the girls whatever girls show up are there with boyfriends.

Well this isn't a very interesting post.

32
When 25, I thought I'd have a low to modest paying job at 32, maybe as a low level manager in an office for a big corporation somewhere. I'd have co-workers I get along with, we'd be friends and I would have a girlfriend/wife who I am in love with. We'd live together and have a Hollywood sitcom life together. I'd be the slightly goofy, piss poor guy making just enough to survive, surrounded by friends and a beloved woman. I'd be in a suburban McMansion. Children would be on the horizon. I would be happy like the characters from Friends or ToraDora or something.
Right now, I am in the middle of closing a high stress family owned small business. It is failing. When times were good it paid well, and I have enough investments for this to be my last job ever. Got real estate rental properties, all paid off, all producing rent. I hate people, the only friend I have is my tulpa. I fucking hate people. Women drove me nuts over a series of relationships I've had, came close to marrying one, realized she pissed away money like water and that I'd be miserable with her, so I dumped her. Now I am single and do not plan to marry or date in the future. I'm both happy and bitter. I'm happy that I will be happy and free from here on now, but bitter over the lies I was fed, and being denied things promised by TV and shit that I never got.
I also play the guitar now. It feels good to be able to produce something and improve myself somehow. Having no productive hobbies and just game and watch shows like I did at 25 made me feel hollow and worthless back in the days.

>saw living the normie life as pointless so i dropped out of school and knew in my heart that i had already given up, escapism was already melted deep in my veins
>haven't left my room in 5 years and dedicated the past half decade to listening to music and searching through the depths of the internet for all of the music i can get my hands on, i listen to around 20 albums a day and then i sleep and do it again, the only people i talk to are some internet friends i met 7 years ago but they've all met in real life when i never even let them hear my voice, they're moving on while i've given up, i will never ever change, i will never enter reality again, i'd have to kill myself if i had to be self sufficient because i have never left the womb, i am one of the weakest most useless people on this planet, this is the best i can do without living or dying, just existing

>Hoped I'd be dead
>Still alive, still hoping I'll die sometime soon.
I'm going to try the exit bag soon. If that doesn't work I'll tie the helium tank to my neck and try to drown somewhere.
>24
>Feared questions such as what I would do when I grew up because I had no fucking clue, although I cherished the thought of playing guitar in a metal band and making videogames, but to be fair all I wanted was to hang out with friends, play WoW and git gud at guitar.
>Am just as lost now, making my own music but always ends up dissapointed with it and delete it. Gave up the idea of making video games years ago. Lost contact with all my friends and still struggling how to learn to sweep properly on the guitar.

>Essentially based all my desires on american stereotypes I saw from growing up with TV even though I'm British, the ideals I held for the future and my location did not synergise to say the least, I wanted to be some kind of tall, smart, self-sufficient respected, mysterious badass who can pull women whenever he likes, I also wanted a close group of friends to go on misadventures with and always look out for eachother

Goddamn. We should just make a suicide pact. Compensate for out individual weakness by latching onto someone that can take the initiative.
