Make enough money from crypto to retire

You need an illusion of purpose, got it. Hope you had a really interesting job, like research or something, otherwise you are pathetic.

Send me your money, I'll enjoy it. It takes time to settle into an area, join some clubs or something. Walking around a museum or sitting in a park on your own is going to be boring as fuck. You need to force the issue if you want to socialise...it's not going to come to you. Or get a job, not a wageslave job but one that actually makes a difference, or is fun. If it's shit, sack it off and try something else.

Just work part-time OP. It gives you a routine while also giving you enough free time for yourself to try out new things. Completely dropping out of work is for people that will likely kill themselves from ODing five years down the road

Well, I was doing PhD research. It was interesting until I got depressed towards the end.

Well since you have listened biz so far, why not stop now? I bet they are going to tell you to get hookers and eat well. Maybe drugs too.

Me? I would just buy a comfy apartment with its own land and spend time renovating it and filling it with all great stuff, then maybe invite friends over. 100k is enough money for that here and you don't have to go too far from the city.

What field?

pick a country you are interested one. preferably one which is very different to your own culture.

Learn the language. this is your goal.
You will find at some point relatively early the best way is to talk to people. this will force you into many situations in the name of practice.

Get a 1980 book called "the millionaire next door". It's a boring, non-sensational book about how doctors, lawyers, and other high-income people tend to be total losers, and have loser children. You can get it for a dollar plus shipping.

biomedical engineering

Join a tourgroup retard, pick a cheap one

look user just relax and enjoy life. find a local woman or man if its your thing eat, drink and live well. go swimming, take walks, read more then you will understand you have made a good decision. live life concentrate on publishing something your interested in, write a book drink in life that is free and can be complete and fulfilling

Fuck you, give me the money and i'll be able to escape my miserable life (32 yo unemployable, partially crippled)

You have no right to complain.

I am in the same boat user. Stay strong.

Alright, that is great, worth going back to. Well, you can enjoy having security of having lots of money and doing actually interesting job. Spend your money on health and good food. Try psychedelics carefully.

Get friends but I've read that you pretty much form your social circles when you're in your teens up to 30 yrs old. After that, if you have no friends still at that age, chances are you will never have one. It's hard to form social bonds and camraderie by the time you are in your 30s. And I'm not talking about mere acquiantances, I'm talking buddies you hang out and shoot the shit with doing random things that are fun and hanging out with them.

Where did you go?

why did you get depressed? I hate the wagecuck life and research seems more like my thing. will I get depressed too?

Get some of those legalized Portuguese drugs and fuck some hot babes who cares about the museum

Italy(Rome, Venice and some other cities), American coasts. I went alone on those trips.
I am probably schizoid though.

Just join one of these groups for single people who want to travel, flash your crypto money and cuck all the other normalfags by banging every woman in the group.

>You need to force the issue if you want to socialise
This is probably the worst advice you can give to a person. NEVER ever appear desperate. You'll just look needy, a friendless loser or a mentally ill autist or all of the above. Let me tell you some piece of advice OP, most friendships are formed from social capital, that is a friend introduces you to a friend of his or just someone you know introduces you to another friend his. Basically a friend of a friend type of thing. Thing is if you didn't have friends at home, you're going to find it even harder to make friends outside of your community. Bonds form in your early years. There's this thing called "buddy for life" for a reason and you won't find that going the travel meme.

This. If I make it in crypto I will literally bag groceries part time at whole foods. I need some structure and interaction with co workers for sanity.

why the fuck didnt you go to thailand and fuck hookers every day life like a king for 2000$ a month lmao

bump

Go somewhere tropical and learn how to free dive

This is the most normie shit I've ever read.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
GET OUT NORMIE!

Born a wagecuck die a wagecuck. I wish I had that mindset desu. Life would be easier. Unfortunately every job I ever had literally was just me staring at the clock waiting for it to end and thinking about killing myself.

stay in a hostel dorm room so you meet other individual travellers or book a contiki tour and join a group.

the point is to put yourself through various different situations to grow as a person, e.g. trying to work out how to get a hotel in some shithole in tunisia

going to some european town is basically going down your own town but with a language barrier that doesnt matter because everyone there speaks english

check the surf you fucking faggot. if there are waves, learn to surf.

yeah i also went alone last year, but it was a bit boring, i would just go to my hotel room. Any tips?

this is such absolute bullshit. Yes, true for small town folks who never leave, but not for just about anyone else.

I just tried to visit historical places, spent most of my time seeing stuff. Spent some time on excursions.
Sometimes got drunk in hotel bars.

>No it's not. Newsflash kiddo, most fanilies and communities that arent dysfunctional function this way. Even on an individual level, successful business men and individuals get to that level because they started off with an already enormous social capital backing them up. You don't suddenly form bonds and friendships on the get-go. It takes years to cultivate friendships and having buddies.

lol

Fuck I green texted my reply. I'm sleeoy, bite me.

where are you, dude? portugal is cool and i might know some people you can go have a drink with

I was struggling to make friends. I used to hang around with my colleagues every day for over a year, and I still struggled to join into their conversations. Eventually I just gave up and become a recluse. At the same time I was having problems with procrastinating which got worse and worse. That just made me frustrated and made me want to give up. Also, there weren't really any appealing career paths to me at the time, which made the PhD seem pointless to me. There some other aspects that annoyed me too, like being required to teach and also the "diversity" stuff that was being pushed all the time. But I actually liked the research, at initially. I think I could get back into it now that I've gained some perspective.

Seems like you need some antidepressents, op. Go visit a doctor.

DURRRRRRR YOU'RE LITERALLY TOO RETARDED TO EVEN THINK UP A FUN PLACE TO GO OR A FUN THING TO DO?

OMFG WHAT A BLANK, SOULLESS LITTLE AUTIST YOU ARE. LMFAO. SAD LITTLE ROBOT. BEEP BOOP. NO UNDERSTAND EMOTION. BEEP BOOP.

>You have no right to complain.

Totally agree with you.
OP is basically

>waaah, i'm a richfag i have so much money it makes me sooo depressed pls halp i have everything but it's all soooo pointless muh existential crisis i'm soooo miserable QQ

Fucking upper-middle class Amerilard/Western Europe fags strolling through their lives on easy mode and complaining about 'muh depression'.

>>old life suddenly seems appealing, at least I had a kind of routine and was able to communicate with people

Travelling alone is an art. There is 95% of time spent alone - 5% with amazing connections.

This will work better. Go to Koh Lanta, find a place called "Koh Hub" - you will make friends there, spend time on the beach, probably wind up with a few women etc

Do you have high school batchmate get togethers then? You'll find out that reconnecting with former colleagues and classmates is much easier to form friendships rather than going the travel meme. Start from there. Damn, I cant even believe I have to spell this out for you.

>arrive in tokyo
>1hr ride into the inner city
>smile and take in the scenery
>get a bite to eat, check out a samurai museum
>sippin on green tea
>realize you went to the right country while some anons went to Portugal for some reason

I traveled alone for 6 months. it definitely takes some getting used to and is lonely at times but dont give up yet. you need to force yourself to talk to strangers. take up a hobby like scuba diving or surfing and it will be much easier to meet people. get on tinder too if youre not already. also portugal prob isnt the best place if you're solo since not a lot of english. I would try thailand or somewhere in southeast asia first since there is lots of backpackers.

why the fuck would you come here alone? i don't think there's any way to salvage your decision, you even chose the shittiest time weather-wise to visit. consider hanging out with other phd students, portugal is swarming with those losers

>tfw when your only friends are sexpat boomers at the old "Koh Hub"

>>tfw when your only friends are sexpat boomers at the old "Koh Hub"

Kek - Northern India much better but a good starting place for "muh social skills suck - my life is over" boomers

Man, I've solo traveled to a bunch of places and had a great time. I don't understand your problem. Did you not read up on the place before visiting? How do you not have a big list of historical sites and other local cool shit to visit and good things to eat and drink and great places to go for a long walk and all that? Are you reading about the place while you're there? Are you trying to soak up the language all around you? Traveling to interesting places is like a goddamn feast for the mind if you pust some effort into it. 24 hours in a day isn't enough to take it all in.

don't listen to these fucking brainlets.

you are simply out of your element.

that's okay. traveling is NOT only fun alone. i prefer it, now.

take a walk. stop. listen. eat. drink. smell. look at your surroundings. embrace being alone, however you can. this may be difficult at first.

talk to people. smile, say hello.

if you are really "retired", come to asia, and i will show you a good time, and try to give you a glimpse of what this world can be, if you just open yourself up to it. it's really that simple, if you let it be. i can try and show you.

i recently brought a 16 year old user and his mom + brother to a punk rock show in sichuan. it was awesome.

e-mail me : [email protected]

Partly for the lack of crypto taxes. Also cheap flights. I considered SEA as well, but I thought I'd start somewhere closer to home first in case it didn't work out.

I did make a list of stuff. It's only my first day and I didn't have that much time. I'm learning the language and trying to use it.

Ah, that's good to hear. I forgot it was your first day. Remember jet-lag can fuck with you mentally a little bit, too. Sometimes I'm fine right away and sometimes I'm just not right for several days.

Dude book a bed in a 6 person hostel room. Walk in and say "hi" to whoever else is in the room. There will definitely be other burgers travelling too

Traveling won't make your autism disappear.Happiness is a state of mind, solve the problems first, or run away from them, not temporarily, permanently.

you did it all wrong, you absolutely need some kind of hobby, a competitive one too so you will always strive to improve, also get 1 or 2 side hobbies to enjoy when you're exhausted by the main one, travelling without purpose is no different than going to club and wasting yourself

this post is beta incarnate
you can strike friendships just fine talking to random strangers on the street. so few people take the first step except to try to bum something, the people worth knowing will be glad to meet you

and now this is cope for being a loser who's not even trying. "anyone who's better than me had enormous social capital". pathetic

God he is getting so much bad advice.

Look bud, step 1 is thinking about your posture. Make sure your feet are pointed out (this helps change your subconscious to "I'm open to meeting new people"

You will make mistakes of trying too hard to meet new people. And you will make mistakes of not putting forth the effort to meet people when you should've. And that's fine - the only killer mistake is beating yourself up for mistakes and giving up.

You gotta understand that making new acquaintances is out of your hands beyond making the first move or following up.

I met a drop dead gorgeous pakastani girl who asked me for directions on the subway & spent days with her bumming around UK.

I spent several days with a retired truck driver turned yoga teacher in Rishikesh - & an Isreali chick just b/c he asked for the time on my watch.

Your head is too clogged up with noise to be able to understand what's going on around you. You must quiet it down, be open for opportunities but don't pressure them into expectations.

Be fine with silence, be fine with akwardness. This is what the socially ill adjusted miss so goddamned hard - the most well adjusted people are fine with silence, find with bits & bobs of miscommunication or pieces of akwardness just because it goes with the territory. When you are fine with it - it's 1/100th as akward.

HAHAH you should have invested in learning normie tier social skills as a kid/teenager.

Having a (good) social life is one of the tree essential parts of not becoming depressed, the two are time management and financial security. You're poor in one of those fields, so it's not a surprise that you're still depressed even after "making it".

Also, wealth or that is becoming wealthy is a promise of pussy or that's what (((they))) say, imao must suck knowing that was a false promise and you actually just had to be a likable normie all a long. Even the socially rich immigrant janitor has a better quality of live than you and he is contempt with live. That must kinda be suck.

It is possible to learn these into your 30s.

I had none until early 20s & started learning. Travel (what you're going thru) helped round them out.

It's never too late to learn social skills (just harder) regardless of what anyone here says.

Even after you learn them - you'll find out there are a lot of people you'd rather not be around. But it should be because you ACTUALLY DO NOT WANT TO BE AROUND THEM - not because you can't / don't know what to do or are afraid to do anything & looking for an excuse.

>take up a hobby like scuba diving or surfing and it will be much easier to meet people.

Almost all my friends and lays I've made is through a shared interest. Maybe try not being boring OP

Pleb. Travelling solo is truly one of life's best experiences.

Travelling solo a few times forced me to go from socially awkward autist to a Chad.

seriously, stop being such a fucking twat OP and go do anything without acting like an awkward cunt

Traveling alone can be overwhelming at first. If you're finding it difficult to meet people, but want to, go to some Meetups or join some tours.

THIS OP, I came here to say this. You will learn so much about yourself. Sounds like you lack confidence, you need to trust yourself. Its sounds like you have put less than 24 hours into it, ffs. You need to spend some time @ it! What is it you miss? If you want friends, go out and find some. When you are by yourself it is easy to approach ppl, most ppl are friendly. If it all fucks up you will never see them again. But it is a learnt skill. learn it if you think that will bring you happiness.
t. no friends

Get a hobby, learn something. Figure out investments for your money....Get a job please KYS

Same here my n word. Made the transition from being an Omega Male to being a Beta+ Male when I spent 2 months abroad solo.

Lol Portugal. What a sadsack place to go. What are you going to do? Bum a mountain goat? Get raped by a heroin addict? The gayest most pointless place in the world where old people go on holiday.

Go to fucking Thailand or somewhere. You clueless fuckwit

read Siddhartha

May you travel in love and light, brother.
