      my teens were trash, 20s were mediocre, but my early to mid 30s were fantastic. it's when I started looking like an adult man, had a few promotions and a good income under my belt, and was swimming in 20 year olds who wanted a "daddy". still riding that wave at 36, but I'll probably knock some "nice" girl up and lock her down before I start balding.

        FIRST, download soulseek.com

        1-https://www.tastedive.com/
        1.1-Add some movie, game, tv show, book (but NOT music, I wont tell the reason why SPECIFICALLY YOU READING THIS TEXT shouldnt add music, would make the text too long) and click to get music recommendations based at that, try the artist at youtube or try to find his site and try his songs. If you like download it at soulseek.

        2-http://rateyourmusic.com/misc/random
        2.1-This site is another imdb for music. Create an account at the site (you dont need to use it) and open the link (need an account to do that) you will get an random musical release, if you dont know the release try it at youtube and if you like download soulseek. Do this as much as you want.

        3-https://rateyourmusic.com/recs/auto/USERNAME
        3.1-Create an account and download and rate alot of albums using step 2, after some amount of albums the link 4 will give you recommendations.

      how do I get energy?

      I feel privileged to be born into the 21st century with all this past knowledge, freedom and technology yet I waste my life away because I am constantly tired and even things I enjoy intellectually don't give me any physically felt pleasure

        It might seem counterintuitive, but to get energy you first need to spend it. Doing exercise will give you energy, because your body will have to adapt and manage the new needs.
        There is no such thing as "first I will get the energy, then spend it", you need to do some sort of cardio, preferably high intensity, and resistance training of some sort, or join a sport like any martial art which has a lot of benefits.
        When it comes to food I will avoid giving too many advice because it's highly dependent of you and your specific needs, but generally you want to avoid spiking your insulin too much with eating too many carbs at once, you probably have a deficit in essential micronutrients (like most people in the developed world), get a full blood check if you can afford it and get your vitamins in check (through natural food instead of complements, preferably).
        Don't neglect intellectual work, read classic books, avoid dopamine dispensers, join a book club if you must.
        Also don't forget to get some sun every day.

        You get energy by not being overworked. Good luck with that in today's world. Oh and that anon was lying

        There are plenty of ways not to get overworked, if you can't figure this out in today's world you have a IQ below 100, which is fine, but don't project on me.

I know a guy that was working dead end jobs his whole life, then at 60 he published his first book and at 65 he became a local writer celebrity. Life is not linear, bros. I'm 36 and when I was a teenager I was miserable fat kid who got bullied all the time, at 23 I was a happy guy, started dating, graduated, but when I was 28 I felt like the worst shit in the world, depressed, lonely, awful job, dreams shattered, addicted. I wondered if that was it for me. At 33 I was much happier and healthier, but struggling with money, a problem I didn't have before. Now I'm okay, I'd say I'm as happy today as I am when I was 23.Your 40s may suck, but your 50s may be incredible. A decade of misery sounds like endless misery, but it isn't, it's a decade.

    Life is good as long as you stay in shape, have money, have a couple of good friends, and avoid shitty women. If you pull that off, the only major issues in life as you get older are the unfortunate realities of loved ones passing away. Get money, get in shape, get some good friends, and don’t let women enter your life and ruin things. The better of a life you have, the more will try to be a part of it and wreck it. If you hate them appropriately, you’ll find the exceptions. It’s really this simple.

    37 here. It varies between individuals. A big deal that people don't talk about is basic brain chemistry; some people are just more prone to being sad. Personally, I feel happy or content most of the time. I have a decent job, I have family and friends that I love, I have hobbies that I genuinely enjoy. I also feel that I have genuine appreciation for simple things.

    It's more about the attitude you have towards everything and accepting who you are and where you are in life than it is having money or whatever else.

    I see a lot of complaints in this thread about your bodies and you can make really good transformations in one year and you'll start getting compliments in a couple of months. It's not going to solve everything in your life but it's such a nonissue as long as you actually start and stick with it. It's definitely not too late but don't use that as an excuse to start next month.

    I have one of the most pathetic lives on here in my 30s (32 to be exact). Kissless virgin, no friends, live with my parents and we don't even get along, no career. I don't drive a car. A few active hobbies I do, and they're sort of enjoyable, but more they are just activities to waste my time. All this is made worse by living in one of the most beautiful, expensive, and successful regions of the world, of which I have experienced none of it.

    It's really difficult to put into words how miserable and depressing my life is. I honestly just laugh sometimes, when I'm not crying, when I think about how truly wasted my entire life has been. Obviously it's all my fault, and if you look at my life you'll say how I never did anything to try to better myself so of course I was going to end up like this. But I am so far behind everyone else that I don't even see a point anymore. All I think about 24/7 is suicide.

    Being in your 30s isn't destined to be depressing and miserable if you lived your life the right way. If you acted normal socially so you have lots of social experienced, friends, relationship, if you did well in your working life and career and feel some purpose and financial steadiness, kept up your fitness, found activities you enjoy, life in your 30s can actually be just the beginning of decades of great life. But if you fricked up everything in your teens and 20s like I did, that 30 milestone becomes the most debilitating thing to your existence.

          NTA but he is right. My situation has improved a lot since the beginning of the year (I'm 30 btw). Was having suicidal thoughts all the time and mental issues whereby I couldn't concentrate at all. It got to the point where I was on the brink of losing my job. Luckily my manager was understanding when I said I'd been having mental health issues and we worked out a better way of working for me. So work has gone from dreadful to enjoyable. I also started BJJ again, so I have somewhere social and active to go to every day.

          Materially, things are still about the same. Mentally however, I'm doing better. Not perfect, I still have some issues to work through, but better. It's a glass half full situation and you need to understand and believe that if you put in the work, you will FEEL different. You need to stop trusting your thoughts (which are actually just feelings) and judge yourself by your actions. Focus on what's immediately in front of you, would be my advice. Listening to some David Goggins might help you get up and get moving some

            You are lucky to have understanding people. I've wasted my life at my worthless job and for quite a while now I no longer speak to anyone, I look miserable 24/7 because I am, I stare at the floor, I want to kill myself every day, I am actively trying to get laid off/fired doing nothing, no one cares. I don't have the confidence to look for anything else, and I despise myself.

    Something you absolutely can do is chain wins, set achievable goals and work on them then work on new ones but prove to yourself you can improve your situation. I don't want to get too religious because usually that turns conversations in directions I don't care about but something very positive people with faith do is spending some time giving thanks for things they do have in their lives. Even if you have made the most of the opportunities given to you, even if you haven't earned all you have, it's easy to take for granted and discount what's working in your life.

My friend knows another guy in his 50s who had a law degree but frickin hated his job and changed careers to something completely different.

    It's never too late to fix your life, those who claim it's over after a certain age just want you to be as miserable as them.

I am sure there are those who would say: Why don't you go and meet new people? Why don't you get a new hobby? Thing is I can't stand how most people look these days, I'm at the point that I am almost getting physsically ill/angry just having to gaze at them in my view, all those fricking homosexuals with their ugly beards and bald heads some with glasses, the nigs, the sandnigs, and so fricking many of them so goddamn fat (this isn't even America), most people hardly seem to care for anything and only talk about the stupidest gossip nonsense or football.

      I found my early 30's to be a really nice balance of career/money and health. I had the option of dating 20-somethings and they were impressed by stuff like my condo. You don't have to drive junky cars or have roommates anymore. Your T has been reduced a bit so you're more clear-headed but you still have energy.

      Late 30's is depressing as hell without a family though. It's like 20-somethings are a different culture/language or something and I'm always violating some unwritten rule. The idea of 30-something single women having nice personalities and being willing to compromise/settle is a myth. I see tons of fit guys with money dating single moms and landwhales. Some of my friends are on the verge of death.

      That's the problem with the "just find a less experienced partner" talk. Even if you do the culture will make them feel like they missed out.
