How's everyone doing?
I'm still trying to come to terms with the fact I'm 30 and haven't progressed in life. Did fuck all on my 30th. Thinking about topping myself if this year doesn't amount to anything.
What did you guys do for your 30th and what kept you from topping yourself?

Sounds like you had a blast.
Sorry, not 30 yet.
Can you at least say that you truly tried at life?
>Sorry, not 30 yet.
Are you even close?
>Can you at least say that you truly tried at life?
To the best of the mindset I had at the time.
Sounds amazing.
31 year old here going back to uni for a bachelor's degree. i'm outperforming all these idiots. kids are such fuckin slackers, half of them dont do the simplest assignments.
anyway, i can feel myself getting old. my body is decaying. it's annoying and it fucking sucks. im not nearly as agile as i was a few years ago, i have less endurance, i cant accelerate and decelerate quickly when running....and i cant turn too roughly or i sprain bones. fuck this, who could possibly think life is a good idea
i also noticed i dont give a shit about sex or loneliness or companionship. i'm perfectly content without friends or a gf. maybe it's my hormones maybe it's just being preoccupied with other things. i've actually turned down multiple 18 year olds who are by no means unattractive.
i also spend a lot more time reading than i used to. i dont know why but tv, movies, vidya etc doesnt appeal to me anymore
I am pretty close; 26 ar the end of the month.
What does successful progression mean to you?
I'm 29 and just got licensed in a new field. A lot of people switch careers or start over at a wide variety of ages, being 30 and new isn't really a big deal. My dad didn't even enter medschool til he was 34, before that he had a science degree he wasn't using and was working as a house painter. A lady at my office has been in this field for two years and she's 51.
What I'm trying to say is that you are still operating with a child mindset, thinking that at some age before death your life is "over". That's just not the case. Not by any means.
>not even 26
Get out.
Blow me, faggot
You have to stop comparing yourself to others. That is the root cause of that feeling of wasted potential via non-progression.
You have to sit down and evaluate your circumstances, come up with a plan to more forward that suits YOU, and execute on that plan at YOUR own pace.
Multiple failed attempts. My best just gave me sleep paralysis. I'm laying low until I have the money to do the right thing. Pray I don't make it to 40.
if you're 30+ and u browse here unironically, you're a failure
Lol, you just described your own future.
get off Jow Forums and spend time with your kids
It gets better if you want it to.
I became divorced when I turned 30 and had to begin a new life with nothing but some random shit in some cardboard boxes and my car.
Since then Ive meet a wonderful woman many years you ger than my ex, started a career, got my financial life corrected, and am about to move states and start working on my bachelors.
Life is what you make it, and this is your only life, this isnt a practice run.
Children are thieves of joy, I have way bigger plans than raising some snot nosed punk for 18 years.
oof
thats pathetic
30 yrs old and NEET
What happened to all the wizards man? Did they all get laid? Or did they an hero?
Lol, what gave you that impression? I’m employed and attending college.
>My best just gave me sleep paralysis.
The fuck did you do?
You feel old age creeping up so you look for other experience beside gaming and that monotonous crap. But you can always switch it up and still do what you did in your early years
>But you can always switch it up and still do what you did in your early years
Lies. We're old now.
Probably an hero.
I think life is intent in grinding me into dust. The new wageslave job I got, not only is full of old people, people who are dead inside and moronic people who literally eat confetti (no joke), I found that the reason it pays more than my old wageslave job is because it's 7 days a week like half the year. How the FUCK am I supposed find time to do other things that will lead me to a job that doesn't destroy my kneecaps?

32 here, the key to progress is that most times is way more effective to be brave and take risks than to play safe and that works in almost all fields
>32 here, the key to progress is that most times is way more effective to be brave and take risks than to play safe and that works in almost all fields
I wish I had taken risks in my 20s.
I'm 10 years younger and considering suicide.
Hello user. Whenever I got bored I would either temporarily leave, or just quit my job and live off my savings for a while. Road trip across the country with my dogs and have a good time. My favorite trip was mt Rushmore
Fuck off.
I'm doing as well as I can, considering it feels like everytime things get a little better something bad happens.
But I can't complain too much. My semester is almost over, and fall is my last true semester. I have a house, married, two kids. They are really my motivator to not stagnate in shitty retail jobs.
youtu.be
Dropped out of 10th grade. Spent nearly my entire adult life jobless, in occasional poverty or destitution. Preformed constant Jnana Yoga, rumination, analysis, and maintained strict personal ethics based upon sacrifice and compassion.
In my 30th year now. I've attained my eternal soul, complete access to jouissance, freedom from desire and the human condition of conflict through denial of the will-to-life. I guess I do feel a little accomplished, even more so that I've got nothing worldly and profane to show for it.
Sounds like crap.
You don't have an obligation to impress other banal cunts whose crowning achievement in life might end up being the fact that they reproduced. F them and F you.

>when I was 24, these threads were 25+
>now that I am 29, these threads are 30+
I feel like this is a metaphor for my entire life
I dont exactly remember but I recently learned that you shouldnt focus on what you havent done but focus on what you are doing now, because I was looking at what life should be when there really isnt a should be there is just the here and now. Now you are just where you are at, like in the nuetral sense, you can look at it as bad as many people would and say, but it just is. So when you are moving forward dont think of the end goal but the moment you are in as neutral as possible.
That way you stop yourself from saying
where you are at is bad and you spiral in to depression when you are actually you move "forward" when you feel like it.
Not him but I am in the same place he is, and I can say I did, but I was too socially awkward and went through some bad shit. I mean I cant speak for OP but I made efforts and the people who I needed to notice wouldnt acknowledge me by working with me. So I blame my awkwardness and my dark past that pushed people away and made life harder when I tried very hard to get through life. I just have to keep going tho, no choice.
Getting the right med helped me out but boy was my therapist visibly disappointed when I said I only want to work part time and create sculptures to sell. I'm feeling better and I'm more realistic about my life goals, how horrible. My father became an electrician in his mid 30s and he squeezed out maybe 15 years before employers started discriminating against him for his age. And no he could never find something permanent, the only promising thing he had was nortel and some chinks stole their tech and the entire industry at that time went pop. He was so proud of himself and this fucking broke him.
It's all a fucking scam. I'm not falling for it.
> You don't want kids, YOU MUST BE AN INCEL
Go back to reditt
I stoppes looking back, focused on the present for a bit. Now my problem is looking forward. It's daunting.
huh, I noticed I was disappointed in sex my self. Mainly my last person I had sex with I lost all attraction to her. But it didnt kill my sex drive just I am not planning on having sex with certain type of women for a while.
I went back to school when ai was 28, they were pretty spoiled and petty, this was on the verge of the #metoo movement and people were accusing others just by rumors back then. but they never said anything out right.
Oh yeah, that's because you fear more failure or more responsibilities that will be top hard to keep up in your current state of being. But of you take things as they come and focus on them here and now, you wont feel so bad any more and you will find yourself capable of getting closer to your goal.
Bunp
Are you kidding? Reddit is the home of people who don't want kids so they can play vidya and watch marvel movies forever
> just quit my job and live off my savings for a while
On how much?
.
Turning 30 at the end of July. I’ve worked for small privately owned companies for the majority of my adult life. Literally the owner is on the premises nearly daily. I do well at work and have been promoted to the point at which I will either fail and be stuck at my position or succeed but lack any way to be compensated adequately. Very much considering jumping ship to a factory position just to avoid the people.
Married. No kids. Have no budget but still earn enough to save. Biggest argument my wife and I have is that we don’t take care of ourselves in any healthy manner.
I certainly don’t feel like I’ve progressed but I certainly have different perspectives on things I took for granted. I’m very tired and jaded about all things but I still feel ready to fight just for the sake of fighting. It’s strange to feel so powerless while surrounded by things that couldn’t be without you or your interference as it were.

can't wait to turn 30 in june!
Your body giving out is less the age and more due to years of sitting on your ass doing nothing. An athletes physical prime goes till 33. Of course you notice everything slowing down but you're not 50.
>girlfriend is on the spectrum so she doesn't like complicated dates or travel
What's it like it have her as a gf? Do you love her?
kek, last year they were 28+ threads. I was able to post in them then, but suddenly the barrier to entry aged 2 years while I only aged 1.
Not him but...
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
29 here im getting scared because im succesfully recovering from a life in brutal mode, i aim high and i dont know if i will be able to make it...at least i repilled a lot of people and have enough money to enjoy life
It's really to stop zoomers born after 91 coming into the thread.
Man, getting older.
When I was younger I was like, fuck your normative world I'm going to live an extreme life based around me being unique and different and not being a wage slave. As a result I did a lot of things in my 20's, but not a lot of it was focused on career progression. I did build up a ton of skills though.
As I started to leave my 20's I was forced to think about where I was. I couldn't self define so well anymore in the face of so many of my peers either dying, moving onward, upward or down or getting more normal, family orientated, buying houses and so on.
I could stand alone, an island of individuality, define and justify myself except without the validation of an external peer group it is all prone to delusion. It gets increasingly hard to rebel against yourself? Why was I so angry at the world and why did I chose to do so little to improve it or interact with it in a positive way?
As I entered my 30's I think I was finally the most comfortable with myself I'd ever been. I bought a house, a car, started gardening, gave up drugs, got a lot calmer, showed off a lot less, learnt to sustain low intensity effort for the long term pay off.
Like I've got to be ok with not being a shooting star, burning out. I've got to be ok with not being famous. I'm just another boring human being trying to find a space to thrive like everybody else. For a while this was a fight against growing up, taking responsibility, being an adult, being old, being boring.
A lot of it was my own negative, immature and inaccurate connotations?
I'm 37 and have definitely noticed it more and more past age 34. It isn't like I'm physically failing. It is more like I need to exercise and maintain a routine in order to sustain a normal level of energy and ability. Previously I could kind of do whatever and I'd be alright, it was always there when I needed it. If I trained and put effort in then I got good, great, excellent pretty quickly. Now it is like, if I just do nothing I can feel my energy levels getting low, body getting sluggish, feeling tired.
Clearly that boring old fart advice of watching what you eat, getting enough sleep and taking regular exercise is worth following because I can easily see how if I spent my mid to late 30's inactive I'd be a fatter wheezier useless specimen in my 40's and probably develop health problems in my 50's and catch something that'd disable or kill me in my mid 60's.
I'm turning 30 in August and my twenties were mostly shitty. Still haven't finished university, still with my parents, never been in a relationship, been through depression, still failing at nofap.
I working multiple jobs and going to the gym. At least i'm in shape and have no debt with 5 figures in crypto. That's the only thing that's keep my alive.
GTFO loser
>redpilled a lot of people
so you like lying to idiots
Ignore him.
I'll make the next one a '91 thread.
