ITT: oldfags give advice and life experience to newfags

I would honestly start working out. It seems like a weird idea or just stupid, but taking a few hours a week of your free time, you can hone your connection with your body. It will be good for your health long term and I believe will help you be happier.

Get a best possible degree, IT preferrably

Also lift

and fuck as many bitches as possible until youre 21 then settle down with a girl

Also: realise that besides your family thers nothing important than money in life

Avoid Jow Forums. Leave now and never return. I'm serious.

Take good care of your teeth. Dental services are stupidly expensive.

>You can thumb the numpad enter key from your mouse.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
WHAT
HOLY
how DID I NOT KNOW OF THIS

Find a passion in life. Find something you can do with other people, a sport or a hobby. Keep yourself groomed to some degree. Move out of home as soon as is feasible.

That's the only worthy answer in this thread. All other are secondary. If you don't fulfil this one you will fail no matter what.

Keep a spare ignition module for the electronic ignition you fitted to your land rover in your toolbox or something. It will eventually fail and you'll be fucked without it.

That's all I've got. I'm 33.

You're welcome.

Also: all your highschool friends will abandon you in the next 5-10 years. Let them go, and dont let them bring you down.

Learn how to speak to people. Turn it into a science if you need to.
Everything comes from daily practice, language, strength, whatever.
Sometimes you need to rest and others you need to go hard.
Train your body and mind to resist stress and to become greater than everyone around you.
Don't go showing or speaking of your talents easily.
You naturally will fall into routines and rhythms. Think about other things you want to do or your life wont change much.
Save money.
Invest your money and time into your interests.

get work expericen as soon as you can, get a job doesnt matter doing what, it will look better on your resume, also try to be more social and go out,not nesesary to parties if that not your thing but go to the movies with someone or camping,anything you want, try to get a GF when you are young, it gets harder later, get friends with similar interest than yours so you can spend your free time doing what you love with people you love that also love doing what you love, clubs and internet comunities that do IRL meetings are good for this. above all try to enjoy being young and have fun, you will be in your 20 just once, and take a lot of photos, i wish i had more photos to remember my 20,i can barely remember the face of some of my college friends

avoid becoming us

i was once you, on boards like this 10 years ago, thinking i'd leave this place, but here i am at 28, living with my parent and no job, leave before this place consumes and destroys you, young man

Only go to college if you have a huge passion for the subject matter and the degree actually has jobs.
t. followed my parents advise that if you don't get a BA you will be homeless for ever working at wendys and getting a meme degree with little job prospects

Do this
Also, no idea what you're doing OP, but you should probably go to university - academic work and normies aren't great but it gets you out of your house for 3 years minimum and gets you a degree. It's irrelevant which degree you get if it's like a humanities on because jobs literally just say "you need a degree, we don't care what sort"
I'm turning 21 in the next two weeks and I'll be doing a postgrad in business before trying to start up my own business, try have some ambition and get on with life. You get to smoke tonnes of weed and do many illegal drugs as well which is always nice, and you'd be surprised at how easy it is to make out and fuck a girl if you just pretend to be a chad when you're off your tits on mdma
also I mentioned those two guys because they have the right idea - get the fuck off this board and Jow Forums in general desu. Jow Forums completely fucks with your head and it's not a healthy board to be on - I know from my experience that I ended up just sat here browsing eternally trapped in my own misery in first year at uni before I ended up nearly killing myself and getting on insanely strong SSRIs
You can make it OP, just try have some ambition and purpose and don't allow yourself to just gestate on Jow Forums

This one hits too close to home original

what does that mean though?
pls halp brainlet

Good advice.

Something that helped me a lot as well (if you haven't already) was moving out on my own; move in with friends or roommates if you gotta, but the sooner you leave your parents house the better. There are always exceptions, but most of the time its good for your self esteem, your personal development and frankly it will help a lot if you do start having luck with girls.

I stayed living with my folks longer than I should have, and while it wasn;t the end of the world it set me back on some experiences I could have been having.

Do not listen any advice from losers.

The trick with Jow Forums is to only come back when your life is going well and you don't let it consume you.

All things in moderation.

i my defence i did leave this place for 4 years thinking i had outgrown it, but here i am again, still enjoying my time here

Don't join the Army, it sucks.

Don't date Western girls. Save up until you're in your mid-20's and go get a girl from Asia.

Don't drink, it's monstrously expensive and really isn't as fun as people say it is, especially if you have no friends.

>Don't drink
this is a good one, i started drinking when i was 12 and now i just cant stop, it bring me a lots of trouble and a lot of digestive problems

If you're not a pussy join the military. You'll grow up, learn to work and get a skill, go to some places you've never been, and you'll get the all important designation as a wartime era military veteran.

This will give you a leg up if you're trying to get work in govt jobs when you get out, and these are the best jobs to get. They actually pay pensions and they are relatively easy. Your military veteran status gives you guaranteed interviews and a 5 point preference in scoring.

This is the only way you'll be able to compete with the women, blacks, and fags (who now are a protected class) for these jobs.

The main thing though, is that you'll learn to rely on yourself and be independent. That's a skill that no one can teach you. It will prepare you to go to colllege and not be a fuckoff and blame your life on boomers or your parents or some kind of stupid shit

>I just turned 18 recently, what should i avoid?
You should be banned but allowed to stay here is a far worse punishment

>rely on yourself and be independent
How in the living fuck is being drilled into a state of ultra conformity going to make him independent?

Fucking kill yourself you stupid piece of shit.

Life's not worth living anyway and nothing ever gets better.

Do you drink to the point of being drunk every day, or just drink so that you're in a constant state of feeling a buzz but not too much?

His opinion doesn't matter, he's been drinking since twelve.

That's actually insane.

This is only true for US fags though. Im in the UK and I think i've been more hesistant about college than I should be since you dont get cucked here like you do in the US.

27 here. What is your current situation? I need to know your actuakl projected path to have a chance of giving you meaningful advice.

Take college seriously so you actually finish instead of halfassing it, dropping out to wagecuck for a couple years before going back in your mid twenties and having to deal with a bunch of doofy, unrelatable classmates who are five years younger than yourself.

Oh and by five I should have said seven.

do whatever tf you want. If you dont know what it is, do whatever tf they tell you to.

I'm gonna go to college in september in UK, probably physics or CS. apart from that, no plan

Make friends and be friendly with people. Being aloof isn't the way to go. You have to be sociable to succeed in life, although of course there are rare exceptions. Make as many connections as you can and learn how to remember people's names.

Exploit any opportunity to prove your worth and dependability to people. In doing so, you build a good reputation which is worth its weight in gold.

If you work hard, you will get more work. Lazy people are rarely admired. If you're a likable capable bullshitter and can schmooze well, you can get away with being lazy especially if you're good looking.

If you fuck up, just admit to it and deal with it. Trust me, you might be tempted to try and get away with stupid shit but getting caught once pretty much will negate all your other "wins" and you'll look like an asshole.

Keep in mind that some people will like you and some won't and sometimes for no reason at all. People have preferences and particular tastes that are very often based on things they themselves don't even understand.

Life isn't fair. Sounds simple, but if you can always remember that happiness isn't our birthright and nobody owes you anything, you'll be a lot better off.

Woman are ALL crazy. This doesn't mean to say they're all evil, but they are in fact crazy, based on well established mental health norms. That said, if you find yourself in a relationship or dating a girl, try to find out when they are PMSing and DO NOT argue or even engage in polite debate during this period. Don't even ask why, just don't do i Also, if in a relationship, do not start "keeping score" because you will never "win" even if you think you are or should be. There is no "winning" with women beyond just getting along with them.

Try to treat your mind and body well and live a healthy lifestyle. When you're young, you can abuse the shit out of your body all through your teens and 20's and 30's but if you do, it WILL catch up with you eventually.

I meant more in terms of autism and stuff like that.
Why are you worried of becoming a robot like us? What makes you think that things could go wrong in the future?
You don't really sound like a robot, so that's a good thing.

Save some money and go fuck some escorts if getting pussy is a challenge to you. They don't give a shit about your dick size or how ugly you are. Just be clean and trim your pubes. Realizing only at the age of 30 how human behavior is shaped for the sole purpose of recreational sex was an awakening.

EVERYTHING stupid normies do can be explained if you think like them: i.e. "me so horny, want to have sex all the time". Without having sex yourself you'll never know this completely and will have a harder time understanding the world as a sperg.

>Stop smoking.
I'm fairly sure it shrinks your dick and kills sex drive.
>Get an IT job, even if its helpdesk or something.
Minimal interaction. If you are having problems getting one, get a cert like CCNA and those basic comptia ones.
>you should condition yourself to at least not shit your pants out of anxiety in an interview or at work.
I was a socially retarded neet who only got out at night to the nearest store to restock on ramen because I was too scared of society to go during the day. Now ive kinda progressed and have no problems talking to co workers if the situation demands . Life is still pretty neet, but when some fag comes up with some issue I can talk my way out of it without sweating.
>If you dont have money, buy a console otherwise spend a shitload on a gaming pc, if you do, don't wait for prices to go down, because they won't fucking go down , only up.
>Crypto is a fucking meme.
>Buy a refursbished thinkpad
These faggots will last you forever. If you live alone like me, the best cheap setup for a comfy life is a thinkpad(for eroge,older games and work) ,a console(ps4,xbone or even ps3) and assorted nintendo handhelds(hacked for free games) according to your poorfag level.
>stop eating packaged food, drinks
Just fucking learn to cook. Buy an induction cooktop, some utensils and go crazy. Healthy food, good diet,cheaper and you learn to cook as well. Will change your life.
>eat eggs
They're easy to make, tasty, filling, cheap, rich in protein,fat and other nutrients.
>friends or gf really don't matter
Once you get a job you get to live the life of a man, vidya as much as you want at home, I buy weebshit from aliexpress and other chink websites, nobody cares. Once wore my umaru hamster cloak to work, life is good. Real friends are extremely rare and I'd rather not waste my time like vain normalfaggots to turn acquaintances into friends just out of lonliness. However , learn names, it helps in the long run.

i started drining with some older cousins, i didnt started heaby drinking until i was 14, back in the day i would get drunk to the point of losing my consiusness every weekend,now i try to avoid drinking, still from time to time i drink, my big problem right now is that i can not say no to drinking and i can not stop once i started

27 y/o britbong here.

>uni
Join many societies and meet as many girls as possible. Do tons of social shit. Don't stay stuck in your room once you're comfortable with a few friends, you'll fucking regret it

Also practice mindfulness daily so your mind is ready for the dystopian future. Read the bible too, and see how you feel about the new testament.

>telling a robot to go to a place where it's swarming with Chads who will ostracize him every chance they get

28 old fag here.

user you are youmg and have the world by the balls. Fuck the fears it is better to burn out than fade away. Surround yourself with shit you think is cool. Get the fuck out the house. Even if nothing to do just fucking get out go for a walk explore life neighborhoods. You never know what youll run into. Take in different shit. Pack up your shit and leave, go backpacking in the appelachia.
Learn to fight, do drugs... All of them!

Fuck being responsible that shit wont make you happy.

Get drunk with homeless people.

The goal here is to feel fullfilled while you still can... Do shit that is fun to you and your passion in life will find you user.

Do CS, not physics. Research is overrated; actually, it's hell.

OP, we need to know more about your direction in life for any of the better advice. What are you plans after high school. Uni? Straight to work? Trade shool? Community uni? NEET? And what do you want out of life?

do drugs, avoid people
unless the people have drugs

Is food science a shit degree to pursue? I don't mind staying in the lab for a long time. I think they're pretty comfy

Should I start working half a period now and go to a shitty university or go to a good uni but don't work?

(The good one does't have night classes)

Depends on what you want to study in university.

Academic labs are comfy until you realise that you'll be spending your twenties and thirties severely underpaid and overworked. If you just want a PhD then you'll only be underpaid until you're 28, after which time you might get a salary you can live on.

looking for legitimate advice pls

If you're young and can afford it go to the good university. Working and studying is tough, especially if the uni is not good in the first place.

how can i connect 2 helium tanks to a single cpap mask with low pressure? i have no experience in diy

do CE, not CS. there's a lot more money in designing how the components work rather than just programming

If you can afford it, a good university is always better BUT you gotta find summer internships and assistant positions as fucking soon as possible. The biggest mistake people make is to wait for the last year before getting professional experience. Trainees are expected AT LEAST 2 years of experience, for fucks sake.

Yeah, people think that universities are places to learn. They're not, they're places to prepare your application to find jobs.

don't pity yourself

assume that if something in life isn't going the way you want it to go, that YOU are the one who is doing something wrong. Remember when you see your troubles as the confluence of forces beyond your power to control, then you see no way out of your troubles. Instead look inward on what behaviors you can change in your own existence to change outcomes.

Also, take some time to think about where you're going. Make a 5 year plan for yourself so you can judge the value of your endeavors against it. That way you won't live in doubt about your progress in life. Don't get to 21 and wonder where those last 3 years went, get to 21 with the knowledge of what you gained in that time and appreciate what it took to get there.

do not get too hung up on politics, especially identity politics. try to ignore the news as much as possible unless it's conducive to your social life.

it will force you to adapt and stop being a pathetic robot.

>heavily drinking by age fourteen
Still insane.

Don't try to be a nice person lol

You should get off this site you stupid fucking newfag.
That goes for all you youngfags, don't waste your best years like I did glued to a fucking pc / phone posting and reading ironic shitposting and shitty confirmation bias memes.
It is not healthy for you, and it's a path you don't want to walk. Get the fuck off the internet, and go experience life.
This place is like the abyss, stare long enough into it, and it'll stare into you.

Have tons of sex with younger girls. Its creepy when you're old. Love doesn't matter.

youre taking advice from broken people.
don't do that.

>5 year plan

i fucking hate making plans especially long term ones. but this advice is spot on

Don't smoke weed daily for 5 years

You can only do that shit in USA tho

20 years old, dropped out of college after 3 years and now just working at a place I really love. Have a girlfriend of 3 years and think we're gonna move in together next year.

How do I get off of Jow Forums, back into college, and move on with my life?

I see I have prospects and opportunities but I just feel no motivation to move towards any of them.

Do not avoid things that are difficult or awkward, this is why most robots are the way they are.

Try hard at work or in class, be sociable no matter what or how hard and work out.

99% of people get out of life what they put in.

Learn to cook. You'll be able to make delicious meals for yourself even on a modest budget if you take the time to learn what tastes best with what.

In general, it's best that you learn to rely on others as little as possible. Sewing is another useful skill to have.

Do not be afraid of failure. It is always best to try and fail, than to not have tried at all. So long as you're alive, you'll get another chance. It's only game over once you're dead.

Commit to your girlfriend that she can move in with you after you finish college. That'll help you and her get your shit together to finish up

Dont do kids until 30
Do only jobs that you like, sooner or later money will come

Not sure of the psychology behind it, but people tend to have a "default" that they fall back on when they finish whatever they're doing. Make sure that yours is something constructive, e.g. looking at the next item on your todo list, reading a novel on your phone, sketching in a notepad, anki flash cards, whatever.

Normiebook/leddit/this hellhole/phone games/news are an endless pit of content, but they won't improve your life.

i was about to post this, dental cleanings and minor cavities are way cheaper than root canals and other serious work.

i brush my teeth every day but i didnt got to the dentist at all between 11 and 18 (long story) and my teeth started falling apart during college (high intake of sugary sodas didnt help either), by the time i was 24 i had 5 root canals, 2 wisdom teeth out and an apicoectomy surgery to fix a tooth that became infected again in my jaw.

Focus on your career until your late 20's. Don't bother thinking about anything else until you're financially established. If you settle for mediocrity in your career you'll find you're limited to mediocrity in all other avenues of life.

sleep 8 hours a day at night
drink more water
eat well
exercise regularly
go outside every day
stop coming to Jow Forums

there, you are now both healthier and happier than at least half of the population.

Start improving yourself now. I am 26 and wish I didn't waste my years on video games. I went through a long period thinking this stuff could sustain me for life and I didn't need social interaction. Sat around on Jow Forums saying fuck normies and all that stuff and hating women. And now I am playing catch up because I realized I really do want more than just playing video games everyday. I realize now there is no reason to hate all women for the crimes of a few and how badly this board distorts your views of life. This board is seriously a mind trap meant to send your self-esteem into the toilet.

Also please please please guys I see so many of you young guys who have interesting girls around you. Ask them out when you are meeting early on. Reflecting back there were so many girls that interested me and they were interested in me but because I was a pussy nothing happened and I sit here years later thinking of all the opportunities I missed.

Don't end up like me guys.

>drink more water
shit advice, drink water as much as you feel like, your body is self-regulating.

just make sure you have access to it all the time. if you always have a water bottle with you, you'll drink the right amount automatically.

What did it cost you in the end?

>t. waterlet

theres at least $12,000 worth of work put into my teeth since i turned 18 (28 now) and started going to the dentist regularly to get work done; my parents paid for most of it since they felt guilty about not taking me to the dentist often while i was a kid and i got a discount on the surgery since it was done by the same dentist that didn't do the root canal properly. i have dental insurance now that covers a good portion of my costs but it has been a huge amount of time and money to get things back to normal.

luckily i have pretty straight teeth naturally so braces and alignment haven't been an issue. the biggest thing ive gotten out of it is completely losing any anxiety people have of going to the dentist to get work done. even with pain killers a bad dental infection will keep you up at night and your whole head will throb from one bad tooth; when its that bad you learn that going to the dentist is a good thing because they are the only ones that can make that pain go away. its not until after you have experienced something like that that you appreciate living pain-free and how important it is to keep something like that from happening again.

>Avoid drugs
is this good advice? i might be a smelly drug addict but i think psychedelics have done me a lot of good.

everything in moderation. If you feel you need drugs to have a good time your doing it wrong.

This is probably the best advice so far.

Psychedelics aren't really a big deal. I genuinely don't understand why people get excited (both for and against) about them. I messed around with them a bit, but they lost their novelty pretty quickly for me.

I got some shit grades at math,made my mother pretty dissapointed. I don't know how much I can last,my parents just get sadder day by day. Please,men

anyone have any advice for staying alive without going to college? seems like it would be useless to go since doing anything stem related would probably just make me end up comitting sudoku. all i really want to do is survive, i dont care about getting a great job or anything like that, just enough to pay the bills and feed myself.

they cured my anxiety and a lot of negativity related with my depression. it's like magic. i don't believe in some new age enlightenment but they do something to you chemically. i'm not the same person i was and it was a change for the better.
