I've been wanting to kms for 15 years now, turning 28. People said that i had to get over it and well i don't think about my shitty childhood anymore but i still feel like shit. None of this "bro internet advice"ever seems to make a damn difference.
Hit the gym? No one cares if you look slightly better underneath. Eating well? Been doing it for 5 years. Travelling? I can literally everything abroad here locally and cheaper. Hookers? i even get rejected by those once.
I thought the future would bring some crazy shit, but it's pretty certain at this point we're heading towards a boring dystopia. With the masses kept in check through a massive surveillance system.
what happened in your childhood that people said you had to get over? I'd say it's not normal to have such feelings for so long unless it was something really bad, in which case it sounds like possibly bad advice to "just get over it" as it could be more complicated than that

Learn AI. It will save you. It will save us.

Yes unless your parents or whoever dies and you collect on their substantial life insurance policy + inheritance. Unfortunately, the odds aren't great. You'll probably be 60 by the time that happens if it hasent happened already.
William Russell
lol, just kys, it's quicker than wasting away, it doesn't get any better, you'll get old and then don't want to actually kys because you turn into a scared faggot

alright im going to give you advice that got me unstuck from my hopeless shit miserable life at 27. I had massive victim thinking without realizing it and I didn't know how to deal with negative emotions. Watch these youtube.com/watch?v=5rey8B-yu5Y&t=1694s youtube.com/watch?v=l96TZeZGlDg ah why do I bother
Camden Davis
are you seriously ugly op?

it's shitty man. ever tried just doing math problems just to take your mind off of things, not for any other particular goal? im not particularly good at math, but it helps me block out the rest of the world and solving a new problem always gives me a unique sense of accomplishment, even for the easiest examples. i found a pretty good book on differential equations, with all of the answers in the back. it's the perfect book for this:
the art of problem solving books are also great in this regard

Change routine, doesn't matter how.
Do a hike alone, sleep in a hostel in a new city, do a shitty sport. Start fishing, buy an old motorcycle etc.
Your stuck in a pattern, probably a easy boring job. In a shitty city, spending way to much time on the internet. This is massively fucking up our generation.
Don't worry, satanic elites will kill us all so they can ensure only their bloodline will be the only humans left on the planet.

You need to get a little faith that things will work out in the end. Stop taking everything so seriously.
Brandon Young
Why are you so passive about your life? You can do literally anything right now, but you're too stuck in your own self pity to see how much power you actually have.
Wyatt Myers
Yeah, it gets so much worse if you can't find a good woman and make reasons to live

35 here. it's not all bad. you go through a period of reflection. if you didn't get to do much with your youth you feel like something has been taken from you. and it has. but you learn to let it go. there is no point in living in the past. it's dead now and it ain't comming back. all you can do is make the most of the time you have left. no matter what we accomplish in life we all end up in the same dirt together in the end. so all that really matters is finding enjoyment in your life. what other people think of you means nothing. wealth means nothing. just find something to get into that you like doing and brings you joy even if it doesn't bring you much money.
The truth is things are fucked up in our society right now. It used to be every guy could find a woman and a good paying job and have a family by the age of 30. but all that's gone now. it's not our fault. but we just have to keep on going no matter how bad shit is because giving up doesn't help you at all. don't give up on yourself and your own happiness.
sorry for the blog post.

It doesn't get better or worse, it gets whatever the fuck you decide to make it. Make a shitload of great choices for the next few years, it'll probably get better, make a shitload of bad choices ovet the next few years and it's probably going to get worse.
Benjamin Campbell
user, you're not 28 and dont let me prove it on here no need to larp as someone younger now proceed to immediately kys
Blake Scott
Yes, once you are 30, it’s unironically ogre.
You have to have a networth of high 7 figures minimum by age 30 to have even a chance of a decent life going forward...
About to turn 27, and the only thing I can do is reflect on my mis-spent youth. I wasted so much time just fucking around, playing games, watching Youtube videos, listening to music, etc. I have few fond memories from child hood and no fond memories from my teenage years. middle school and high school were hell. I'm so pathetic that I often revisit cherished places from my child hood i.e. a bowling alley, an old abandoned mall that used to have an arcade and Santa during Christmas, an old camping ground that has since been destroyed by flooding. I even trespassed on school grounds at night to play on some old playground equipment that's been there since I attended elementary school. I'm pathetic, I know. I'm desperately searching for a small part of happiness that I experienced in my youth.
But I know it's all gone, and there is no getting it back. I only have my memories, many of which are rapidly fleeting, so I have to fill in the blanks. I can't even tell real memories from manufactured memories any more. I've created this idealized world in my mind. A world that existed 12 or 14 years ago. And everyday I know that I drift further and further away from that world. Everyday I wish I had camped more, spent more time with friends, gone out on dates, spent more time with my parents, etc. But I thought I was too good for that, back then. But I was too adult, too mature, too sophisticated for that kid's stuff. Now I regret it, painfully.
Now, I can only look forward and focus on my current projects, hoping that one day I can relive some of my childhood happiness, somehow, and in someway.

Jesus user. Unironically go to church. It sounds like you need some fundamental, cosmic purpose in your life. Maybe God can help you with that. I know the situation you are in. I am only 22, but I have a great bit of nostalgia for my youth. Everything made sense. Everyone seemed happy. The seemed to shine just a little brighter.
God, I believe, grants us that sort of youthful serenity, while also give us an adult-like purpose to create something for our descendants. Your mileage may vary of course.

Thank you user I enjoyed your post

OP is right unironically, the best outcome is just being comfy
This is the meatgrinder and we are created by a leviathan that wants flesh and decay, at the end of the day the other outcome than modernity is living inna woods getting parasites on your ass and feet and dying in the most painfully way possible while shitting your intestines out your ass and mouth, and it was good!
Honestly I think the most meaningful thing you can do in life is giving hope to other people, which is ironic since I can't give meaning to my life other than just live at ease and try to be comfy, which doesn't inspire people at all but i feel it's a commendable endeavour

I should have finished that I have found some peace my throwing myself into my work and projects, probably closest thing I've been to happiness in years.
I was big into religion when I was younger, I believed in God and his plan for me like no other. But, eventually, I learned that I can't rely on God to grant me happiness. I'd need to find it on my own.
