I'd trade all the money in the world to be young again (16-24) and have another shot at qt 3.14s...

29 y/o "soon to be boomer" reporting in

Sit down anons, strap yourself in and let me spin you a thing.

This may seem cliche as you've probably heard it before, so many times so that the meaning and significance has worn off.

Life always seem more enjoyable when you're young

>youthful health
>lack of responsibilities
>no hindsight to reflect on
>no real ability to formulate future vision of yourself
>your residual impression of yourself is very malleable when you're young and this provides the illusion of options, choice (the one true freedom in life)

It is biologically impossible to perceive your emotional state in the future without looking at it through the emotional lens of today hence we are never happy with the future even when it turns out the way we planned.

Anons, life is about purpose, find it, develop it and don't let it go, life isn't about discovering yourself as it is about developing yourself and nothing will structure a character filled with stoicism, virtue and content like purpose does.

migth be this.

i decided what my purpose with my life is when i was 17 and never changed. also my life has largely been uphill since (with some steep valleys of course), i don't think i ever was happier than i am now, and high school was literal hell

>22
>2 LTRs (1.5 year and 4 year)
>n count is 8
>no gf

i feel like a greedy fucker but i would kill to go back to being younger, when i was starry eyed about girls and love
i know that the next time i get into a serious relationship i will be far more jaded than my previous ones and i fear it may stop me from ever feeling love like i once did

fuck i dont want to keep getting older anons

wimmins are babby's first aspiration. Power is the patrician goal.

what is your purpose in life?

self made millionare doing what

it's too complex to explain on an imageboard to someone i don't even know

made my fortune from software i've written (entirely on my own)

I think I'd prefer all money in the world desu.

look up MGTOW

live your life for yourself and stop stressing about stupid shit. As soon as you stop giving a fuck about women you free yourself from that trap of servitude and everything becomes clear.

Idk man 30 is still young. did you not age well?

Is that you Mr McAfee?

This is exactly me, i'm a depressed 30yo boomer who wants to be 20 yo again.
I regret everyday my young days, I don't understand why the time runs so fast.

I've lost my dear love gf, a dead fœtus(RIP), friends, familly members(RIP), my wealth, my good looking face ( girls don't look at me like in my 20's anymore), money, hope and smile.
The only thing thinks i've gained in 10 years is weight, a bad looking face, a wagecucked job, and a beretta 92FS. I think I'll hear his last whisper soon.

no, i look over 40

and what the fuck would you do at 23? some of us are short and ugly, our age doesn't matter

Cry more you fags

I'm a 27 year old boomer.
Girl I had crush and we went on one date is moving out tomorrow back to her hometown 300km from my place.

Please hold me biz I will forever stay a lonely boomer.

>a dead fœtus

tbqh the genetics you describe weren't promising so nothing of value was lost

My 20s sucked though. I was all emotionally fucked up.

At 27? Yea dude, break up at that age might mean your gonna settle for that receding hairline girl that’s still single.

you need to move on. one-itis is for people who don't have an abundance mentality. there are billions of women out there. forget about one girl, you are too attached and being attached to a woman, as a man, is not how biology is supposed to work.

Save money go incel

Problem is its really hard for me to met new people.
I'm not good at keeping the conversation going and I don't have lots of topic to talk. (vidya, anime, cryptos).

I've been single for 7 years now. Cryptos are all that I have left

Getting older is fine if you actually accumulated shit that makes your life easier.

If I became 20 again I would be broke as fuck, bitterly chasing retarded girls, generally confused about what I am doing.

I'm not some great looking person who hooked up with girls in college. But with time I've carved out a tiny bit of power and stability which I am happy to keep. At least I'm not some ugly student, I'm an ugly man with money.

t. 25 year old

Yup, 33 yr old boomer checking in. 20-29 SHOULD be the best years of your life. If you peaked in highschool, I'm sure you still live in your small home town with 4 kids to that hot cheerleader that just got fat and addicted to drugs

Enroll in a community college and move around part time low end jobs.

I'm 26 right now and life is only getting better and better every year.

kek

I'm 33 too. 27-30 were pretty awesome years. since 30 things have sucked ass but getting rich in crypto would probably alleviate 90% of those issues.

i also somewhat believe that the near future will be so fucking cool that it makes up for all of the shit i can't do now as i get older. i'm looking for to the 2040s for example. i think aging could possibly be reversed in my lifetime. i think VR shit like Ready Player One will almost definitely exist in my lifetime. just take care of yourself and try and get rich and things should be really interesting in about 15 years.

how can you be so cuuuute?

Way to optimistic man.. something like ready player one would involve revolutionary technology i couldnt see for at least past your gone

Stop basing your perceived impression of future on meme movies

>mfw 30 and women say I look like 18 yo

life’s good

Im 25yo and I m a fuckup who wasted his entire life. I want to go back to school and will try the exams next winter though

>You might be a self made millionaire but you still have responsibilities, in HS you had non.
>You might be fucking QT's but you will never feel that overwhelming sensation of falling in love in HS ever again.
>You might be a fancy lad with girls around him and lots of friends but you will never feel that carefree wanderlust you did as a teen doing things with a group of your best friends.
>You will never know how it feels to walk around hundreds of people and genuinely know that they idolize you for you and not your money or something you can do for them.

Don't kid yourself user, some people might have peaked in high school but peaking in high school is a lot more fun than peaking in your 20's-30's. It's only better than what YOU had in HS.

I am 31. And although I have am currently incredibly depressed and stressed the fuck out. 27-29 was the prime of my lifetime so far. I guess it sounds like self improvement bull shit. But its not that incredibly hard to snap out of a pessimistic view on life step by step. Throughout 27-29 all I did was work out, read, freelance, travel and smoke weed. All on a extremely tight budget. I was as anxiety ridden as I am now, but I was quite confident in improving myself. And it fucking worked. Unfortunately I have little control over my PTSD, accompanied depression and anhedonia. But I feel like I will snap out of it soon and create the next prime period in my life.

Im 20 year old neet jumping from job to job and just did coke with an older buddy for free, instead of getting amped up like usual i got depressed. What gives?

Made it in crypto. Currently taking a shit in Ibiza at 22.

Life's good.

20-25 year old girls still like guys in their 30s (well, up to about 37), you just have to grit your teeth and the semi socially unacceptable factor

>tfw 20 year old and I already look like I'm in my 30's

J U S T

at least my gf enjoys it

What I miss the most about being 17 was simply the intensity of everything. I don't know how else to phrase it but it's a universal quality that when you're a teenager reality APPEARS more movie-like. You know how when as an adult you read young adult novels and they make you cringe, the thing is when you're 16-19 everything really is a lot more intense and colourful. The highs and the lows. When you're in your mid to late 20s everything is sort of dwarfed by your own knowledge of the sheer breadth of experience you don't have, so everything feels ultimately inconsequential. I am incapable now of truly 'being in the moment' if you excuse me using such a tired trope, but basically being a teenager is a lot like being perpetually on a very mild dose of psychedelics. You feel like the 'protagonist' of your story, which fades as you age, even if you were a lonely loser, it felt like you were the main character who happened to be a lonely loser.

Now I'm stuck perpetually looking for this state of being that doesn't exist, a state of being that *feels* like its meaningful, even if it isn't.

Lucky you bro

27 year old boomer here, how do I find purpose? How do I find that thing to dedicate my life to? I'm tired of wagecucking my dead-end job and feeling lost. I'm tired of filling the void with television and video games.

This guy gets it. Even if you make it after HS you never truly make it.

21 y o boomer here. Also virgin. How do I get laid?

stop jacking off and watching porn

100% guarantee you will be in the fucking moment after 30-60-90 days

life is pure joy and magic

theres lust for adventure running through your veins

You're depressed because you never moved on. There is joy in every phase of life, you just have to learn to embrace it. Trying to live like you're 20 when you're in your 30s is going to make you depressed. I'll be 33 this year, still making great memories and enjoying every day.

REMINDER TO EAT A CARNIVOROUS-ONLY DIET AND YOUR DEPRESSION IS GUARANTEED TO GO AWAY

35 here. Married with kids. Not much hope. But don't give up anons. You will all get old. A tleast I have a cutie wife. Good kids. But not much savings, no house. But a good income. My wife and kids live a good life. Me not so much

alot of older men i know told me the best time in life begins if you´re 50

It's also a great way to get colon cancer and atherosclerosis.

I can't believe all the complaining I'm hearing here. Are you healthy? Then you have everything, you're just wasting it on trivial bullshit. At 20 years old I became homebound and disabled. That was a decade ago. I watched my hopes, my dreams, my social life, my career ambitions, my desire to date and marry all go down the toilet. Everything I worked hard for, everything that made me "me", ripped away. I watched myself die while still being alive.

I am at best a bedwarmer. I still live at home with my mother and always will because I cannot care for myself. I'm "lucky" if I have the strength to shower once a week, which absolutely kills me but I will not ask my mother to bathe me. I do not even have enough strength to meet my needs let alone do anything I want to do. I don't leave the house for months at a time. There will be no marriage or no kids.

There is no treatment and no cure. This will be the next 50+ years of my life. I am here because disability expects me to live on $700 a month and it's not nearly enough, so I'm trying to learn about crypto and how to do it. So far I don't understand any of it, but I'm trying. But I still get up every day and try and do something meaningful, however small, like putting forth the energy to make this fucking comment. I don't care how old you are or what you look like, if you are healthy I would trade places with you in a heartbeat, and I would start going and never stop. The things that you place so much importance on in truth are not that important at all.

Stop for a moment and instead of thinking about how miserable you are and about everything you don't have, start thinking about the things you do have and what you are thankful for. That you have a job, a roof over your head. You live your life as you please. Your body works and does what you ask of it. You arent constantly in pain. Your water is clean. You have the money and understanding to invest.

1/2

Start smoking and bail

herp derp

You're a fucking idiot

>making some retarded kids when you dont even have a house and areny happy by yourself

top kek as they say

If you think that you are going to find happiness in another person, or another person is magically going to make your life 100% better, you are very, very mistaken. Happiness and fulfillment *have to* come from within. That's why there are people with everything that are miserable, and people with nothing that are the happiest people you will ever meet.

I recommend meditation if you are hungering for love and fulfillment in your life. People assume it's just a way to quiet your thoughts, but what no one seems to share is that when you do it correctly you feel an immense amount of warmth and love fill up your being that, even after you are done meditating, will stay with you for the rest of the day. Where this love comes from, I don't know. Perhaps a higher power, or maybe even you find a way to unlock that door and allow yourself to finally love yourself. I don't know. You will probably scoff as I used to. But please, give it a chance. Just 10 mins a day for a week.

For those interested, this is a great book for beginners that really helped me when I first started out. It's a cheap, short read. The technique he teaches really does seem more powerful as it was the first time I was able to "feel" anything during meditation.

I hope this helps at least one person. Sorry for the length.

2/2

relationships are bullshit but I do agree that only in teenage years can one experience the kind of carefree naive relationship must people seek. in adulthood life becomes too complicated, everyone becomes more jaded, busy and tired and relationships turn into a fake transaction trying to imitate a youthful fantasy.

Enjoy your heart attack and ketoacidosis.

don't be depressed forever. fuck shitcoin keep just a few sky and btc and better start plan a vacay, leave u re fuckin keyboard and let devs do the work for u to increase u re income. i don t plan to waiste my life trading around, i make good research and choose self-running bizzz

Enjoy all of the cancer and autoimmune diseases of plants, faggot.

>hurr durr the diet we ate for 5 million years actually kills us muh LDL
Fuck off

>sky
You best be joking, nigger.

>17 was the peak
I'm 33 and 19 was the peak for me, I think. It was awesome. Old enough to run around, feel alive, be ignorant to the ways of the real world and totally optimistic. That year always pops into my head.

But we didn't eat a carnivorous diet for 5 million years. We ate an omnivorous diet. Even our closest living relative eats 95% of it's calories from plants.

You seem to be forgetting the gathering part of hunter/gatherer.

>So far I don't understand any of it, but I'm trying.
What's not to understand about cryptos, m8? You can read about what a blockchain is.

lol what's it like to go through life being this much of a retard?

False. We literally hunted almost all large animals to extinction we ate them so much.

To understand the scale of what that means, consider the fact that ONE cow can feed a person for an entire year.

>closest living relative
So, not US? Why the fuck are you concerned with chimpanzee digestion systems? How about caring about humans?

Do you want to know how closely our pH acid resembles scavengers? Aka opportunistic carnivores primarily, and only herbivores in times of famine.

Children universally hate vegetables for a reason. You're giving them backup shitfood. They're telling you "what the fuck I'm your CHILD you should be hunting for me"

Travel to new countries and find novel experiences. Basically going out of your comfort zone will make things intense again... but it wont feel like it at the time, only when you reflect upon it again later and have some nostalgia for it, same for your teens.

33 yo boomer. can confirm. fuck 20-25 yo all the time. conversation is terrible- but if you want to fuck them you have to put in the time.
Trick is just asking them small details about their lame ass job or school- or "culture". They will blather for hours and feel like you care. all their answers are the same. There must be millions and millions of copies of the same woman.

are you good looking? because I have a very good face and tall, and I work out. And Id love to fuck lots of young thots but its very time consuming. how much time do you spend before penis in vagina

Well, for me, my 30 (currently 36) are the best years. Probably because i was doomed by face skin illness for fucking 8 years and my face became clean at 26. Right now i'm fit (TRT), looking young (no alcho, no smoking) and upper-middle class here in France. But yes i still have some pain in my ass because of my awful 20+.

Don't be deluded, anons, life gets better for a man that doesn't give up. If you're a woman, well tough shit.

they probably know you're just trying to get into their pants, but women crave attention as much as men want sex, so everyone's just playing the game.

Spot on, men need to be needed in life, find someone who needs you and everything will change. My neighbor has a dog and I simply scratched her back a few times, now she sleeps on my doormat and waits as long as it takes to see me, she runs out to welcome me when I come home and sometimes stares in my eyes like she's trying to tell me something. Now that's therapy, anons.

yes-ish. 8.5 out of ten. Just make sure you dress your age not like a skater kid. Form fitting shirts (cheap vnecks from Express) and get a tan (dont over due it). Dont worry about getting megabuff, just dont have lots of body fat, it really shows in the face.
I dont drink. so my plan is usually 2 dates. 1 date get late dinner and talk (you have to pay). next date is either a walk in a park for an hour or so. Keep asking about them. If it goes really well you'll be invited back first night. If not at the end of the 2nd date say "let's go back to your/my place".
It will work 4/5 times. so cost you 50 bucks for the meal (go cheaper meal, a good "dive" or hole in the wall. saves money and makes you not seem "try hard"

cant you like make a tinder profile with description-only swipe me if you want to make sweet sweet love at my place

or something?

Youre thinking like a guy. 1000s of guys have that profile and women hate it. Girls want to feel desired and feel like they are unique to you.

>tfw 18 year old KHV that just graduated HS
>no friends, no connections.
>did nothing during HS, but sleep, and play video games.
>too dumb for STEM.

Will I make it anons? Does it get better? I'm thinking about buying a shotgun and offing myself if things don't get better, is 18 too young to do that? I feel tired of life already.

I know exactly what you mean, user. I had some 10-15 years where I basically just spun my wheels waiting for something, anything to happen. When I finally caught my stride I found myself in my 30s, old friends gone, everything different and incapable of feeling anything. I literally felt like a stranger when talking to people and listening to their problems. I'd be watching the news and hear about people getting blown to bits, shredded, stomped or what not and feel nothing, just apathy. Guess what, I played video games and fapped non stop during that time so now when I finally got some outside obligations I'd go out and feel glimpses of that amazing me I used to be. Just keep pushing, keep finding new people, start reading physical books and move, move, move. Don't get caught in the quicksand and think it's a great place to take a nap. Don't sink into nihilism, keep fighting and you'll get it back.

Attached: Jordan Peterson Rick and Morty.jpg (1078x698, 57K)

My suggestion is to start reading physical books, just let yourself be drawn to random books and your subconscious will lead you to the right answers. I turned my life around this way. Join the local library and start from there.

I don't understand this mentality. I didn't start having loads of sex until I hit 28 or so, anyone from age 18-35 or so.
Before that I was a virgin and had only kissed a few girls. Sounds like you have money, so you can travel and get experiences and buy everything you need to pursue interesting hobbies.
Youth is vastly overrated. It's not a cliche to say youth is wasted on the young. If I could go back in time to 18 with a press of a button, I definitely would with all the experience I have now that I'm a 30 year old boomer. I would absolutely slay, get ripped off my higher T, start pursing the profession I have now and be much richer.
But hindsight is 20/20. Don't be sad for what's lost. Sometimes the key to a better life is realizing just how much you've wasted.
Read interesting books, cut out the computer, go for a run, if you have the money, travel the world (it can be done for relatively cheap if you stay in hostels). Life is short, you can fill that life with enough experiences to live more than most other 30 year olds.
Yes there's still time.

This. Don't relive the past. To a toddler, everything is interesting.
this doesn't mean the toddler has the right perspective, it means it lacks experience.
people who lose interest in experiences merely need to upgrade their experiences.
being single and in your late 20's or early 30's is such a blessing for men. you can travel, enjoy sex with multiple partners, find a passion and make money with the right training.
i look fondly on my late 20's after wasting my early 20's playing WOW. Got to see a lot of things around the world and meet interesting people. changed my life, and suddenly women didn't seem so intimating anymore.
if you're stuck in place, it's because you aren't moving. motion, by necessity, changes your perspective.

who gives a fuck about age. do whatever the fuck you want and stop caring

Dude I’m 45 I feel the same but the real actual boomers wish they were me. WTF.

thanks for the book recommendation

and thanks for the reality check, reminding us rest how lucky we are; in our everyday meaningless struggles we tend to forget what’s important, alas such is human brain, we cannot know hapiness if we don’t experience sadness, hope without despair, etc.

This user knows, start reading books
