      Same. But I'm working on it. I've got a decent job just working on saving money to get a house. We can do it anaon. wagmi

      nope lol

      29 year old neet. I had a crappy job for 9 years before the store where I worked shutdown. Too depressed to return to retail.

      >return to retail
      Don't. I'm serious. My life was miserable when I worked retail. Find a job that you'll mostly enjoy that has good people to work with. I do b***hwork in a hospital. but it pays well, I'll always have it, and I love mindless menial labor and my coworkers are awesome. I haven't been happier at work ever.

Spent my 20's lost in a whirlwind of insecurities and self-hatred that I'm only now managing to claw my way out of. And more to the point, don't beleive ANYONE who ever says they have everything all figured out, because it's empirically impossible. Life is a process, not a result

    YOU LITTLE b***h
    I know why you're doing this, you want to make morons insecure because it gives you some satisfaction and/or your projecting your bullshit on others.

    Let's make something clear: YOU NEVER HAVE YOUR SHIT TOGETHER.
    >get laid
    great, now you have a ton of conflicting feelings and realize you want love
    >find love
    great, now you feel inadequate you don't have as much money as you should or whatever
    >get a good job and house
    bills to pay, dealing with shit bosses and shit coworkers
    >have kids
    Do you think that's fricking EASY?? You'll worry about them for the rest of your life
    >get money
    It's never enough and it alone won't make you happy

    STOP COMPARING yourself to others or where you think you should be. Appreciate you aren't starving, homeless, in a warzone etc. Everyone gets to where they're going differently and EVERY SECOND that ticks by you're closer to death. If you spend life worrying about where you are and whether or not you've "made it" you will waste it all away.

    You NEVER make it, life isn't a movie. There's no end credits, there is no catharsis, there's just another day, another week, another month etc. GOD it's so infuriating to see you frickers do this to yourselves cuz I did it for a long time too.

    STOP IT!

      to be fair society as a whole has been pushed and brainwashed into thinking that you need this checklist of success to be happy in life drilled into our brains since birth when ultimately a lot of where you end up in life boils down to luck and circumstance. sure the good looking dude born into a rich family could frick up and become a loser and get disowned, that's on him. he was still better equipped out of the gate for an easier and less grueling path to "success" over the ugly guy born into a middle class family. alternatively the middle class guy is better off than the baby born with aids. ultimately though it all relative like you said.

    I was a respected upcoming talent in professional services and sales engineering and consulting for conversational AI with sysadmin experience to boot

    Then I hit thirty and my mild psoriasis became severe psoriatic arthritis. I can't sit in an office chair for more than an hour, I can't walk more than a few feet without a cane, typing for any extended period of time makes my fingers ache, my meds make me immunocompromised, and I'm on my third year of waiting for the government to assign me a doctor to confirm that I do indeed have boneitis so I can be just really poor instead of completely broke.

        If anyone reading this has psoriasis, especially scalp psoriasis or bellybutton psoriasis or groin psoriasis or nail psoriasis (pitting, looks like someone dented your nails with a pencil), try to be very aware of any persistent aches or pains or swelling. Getting on steroids or DMARDs or biologics will dramatically halt progression but can't fix damage that's already been done. It's worth the money to have a rheumatologist look at your bloodwork.

        I'll still have comics and cartoons as long as uveitis or retinitis doesn't frick up my good eye. The shittiest thing about psoriatic arthritis compared to rheumatic is that basically anything in my body can decide to swell up, it's just that joints are the most common sites.

        I'll also still have video games as long as my hands hold out, but my index fingers have already started to rotate outwards from years of holding them on the triggers of a ds4

        Don't get autoimmune arthritis

    I turned 25 exactly a month ago. I've tanked my life, period. I've not graduated college yet. I started falling off around the second year and haven't passed anything since then. Every semester I say that I'll turn things around but I never do. I'm too scared to try. And when I do I self-sabotage. I start getting better; losing some weight, getting there on the studying, then I do a 180, start gorging on food, spend my days shitposting and jerking off, saying that "next time I'll do it". I have another exam period starting in ~12 days. I haven't opened my notes in ~2 months. These 2 months I did... nothing. I ate, I jerked off, I slept. At the beginning it was fun. Now it's torture. It's the same exact cycle, over and over. I'm literally trapped in a continuous Hell of my own making. I get older, my hair is falling out, my body aches, and I do... nothing. I don't know exactly what is so wrong with me, but there is something; there's no other explaination.
