this generation of men get hooked on videogames porn and the internet and don't do anything else

Oh fuck off, you can at least wave back if someone is staring at you.

It's brutal, I spend a lot of time thinking about what I look like to younger women. When I was 20 I thought 30 was old as shit.
I look decent enough but through the eyes of a 20yo there must be all kinds of cracks in the wallpaper that I don't see.

All that gf bullshit aside though I could use some money and a solid life plan.

>Why don't you try it?
Because after "Hi" I don't know what comes next.
I say Hi and she says Hi.
Then we're back to square one.

Maybe you say that.
"Now what?"

You sound like Chad. That's a very clever and funny reply. I'd never think to do something like that on my own. And now that you've told me to do it I can only imagine how ungenuine it would be to her.

hey, we train hard to become great dads, husbands and careerists

>>we lock eyes for around 15 seconds
It might felt like 15 seconds but it probably was 1.5 seconds

>What am I supposed to say?
I doesn't matter what you say, what matters is how you say it

It's the intent

Nah it was at the very least 7 seconds or so it was quite prolonged.
Believe me I know exactly what an attractive girl who is not interested in me looks like, I've seen that many times before, and this was not that.

>we lock eyes for around 15 seconds

You should do what I do. Wear dark shades and a plain black baseball cap all the time, even indoors in the middle of the night. That way you can glance at a girl for a split second and immediately look away without her noticing. If she says hi, just respond with a simple hi, smile politely, nod, look away, and focus your attention on your objective.

>The way she looked at me was positively sultry. She was probably underaged anyways because those are the only girls who ever look at me like that but I at least would have liked to find out.

how underage, like 16-17 or like 12? because really underage girls are probably with their parents at the supermarket, right?
i live in a college town, everyone is basically 18+ or some kid with their parents, but the student population is very high

>I don't know how to form bonds with people and it feels like there's no way to get out of this hole I'm in.
what do you do though? you're 29 have you ever had a job before, or do you do a hobby or something?

i just went to uni (scholarships) then got an OK job, now i'm basically stagnant. the cost of living is inflated and the wages are lowered here, because of all of the young adults. i am in the bottom 1/4 of my profession [web dev] in wages, and no benefits

These 25+ threads are always a wake-up call for me. Half the posters are usually complaining about their girlfriends and wives which made me realize even on the dark obscure recesses of the internet I still can't find people to relate to.

I think that I am becoming schizophrenic. Nothing that anybody on Jow Forums does or says makes any sense to me anymore. Nothing that anybody on Jow Forums does or says makes any sense to me anymore. Nothing that anybody on the internet does or says makes any sense to me anymore. Nothing that anybody, anywhere does or says makes any sense to me anymore. Nothing makes any sense to me anymore. I am losing my mind, losing control. I feel like I am taking crazy pills. I feel like video games are the only things maintaining anything resembling sanity within this thing that I refer to as my mind. I feel compelled to write all of this out while I still have some semblance of sanity remaining. Oh God it is times like this in which I wish that there was a God.

>even the 25+ threads are overrun by normalfags
such is life user

The best is when you make a comment about them and they call you out for being a newfag or loser or whatever else. In the absolute loser general thread of the loser board. I hate normalfags so much.

>Oh God it is times like this in which I wish that there was a God.
Funny you say that. Look up Terry Davis on YouTube.

gods like red apples user

I find that the most hilarious part of these threads is when I get called a newfag normie considering that I have been on Jow Forums since May of 2005, and I can remember a time in which the terms newfag and normalfag did not even exist yet, Jow Forums did not exist yet, and when m00t first created Jow Forums it was to produce original content (not to endlessly bicker about who was or was not a newfag and/or normalfag).

>Jow Forums it was to produce original content
Yeah and remember how Jow Forums was originally an anime website? Crazy.

well what were you supposed to say? you live with your mom dude there isnt any point in saying anything.

sad day when mootycakes deleted r9k

i feel you m8. i tried lurking wizchan a bit but those guys are even more fucked up than i am. shocking desu.

>given a phone number on a receipt
I wonder if it was real or a joke. I haven't got a response yet. Odd, considering my loneliness has made me so deranged I've considered sleeping with my old stuffed animal.

>>given a phone number on a receipt
Wait, did you give it or you were given? If you gave it, how is it a question if it was a joke? If you received it, what response are you looking for?

I received it from a girl. I assume it was a joke because it is so ridiculous. I was at Taco Bell, ordered food as normal, and a bunch of girls were huddling off to the side after seeing me. One walked forward, giving me my food. I asked for fire sauce, and she gave me like 20 fucking packets while staring at me.

The number was written in marker across what I assume was a manually fed sheet of paper, placed in the bag.

Jeez user, at 29 you should first be worried about moving out.

Unless you're in some kind of discussion or interest forum, your starting line will have to be situational. It's better to have a prepared pun, since being spontaneous is fucking hard. Don't worry about originality. That "now what" idea by user was great, from this you can insert any interest of yours.

Than it's really just about your attitude, what you say doesn't matter. Seek for "venusian arts handbook" on jewgle if you want detailed walkthrough.

Can't you look up the phone number? Get her name and look up her Faceberg

No she was definitely at least 16. She just looked kind of young and was with a group of her friends who also looked young.

Yes I have a job but and I'm friendly with the people there but I don't know how to elevate a social interaction beyond polite pleasantries. I haven't had a friend since high school. I moved across the country 10 years ago and have never made a friend since. I just stall out at the "How are you" part of the conversation and never push it further because I don't really have anything to say. I'm not a talkative person unless it's about something that really interests me and as I've grown older the intensity of my interests has diminished. I just feel kind of dead and I don't see a way out because I can't meme myself into being excited about things out of nowhere.

>raven-haired girl with bags under her eyes

Yummy.

I live in rural Oklahoma, living with your mom actually isn't that big of a deal here.

>Jeez user, at 29 you should first be worried about moving out.
I moved out at 23 and lived on my own for 5 years.
It felt even worse since I didn't even have my mom to talk to. Those 5 years went by in a blur. I think I was legitimately insane for a better part of them. I was technically in college but I would skip for weeks at a time and just stay in my efficiency apartment totally isolated.

yeah it's shitty. but if you had a bunch of $$ and free time what would you do?

Yeah that whole "move out and be your own person" sounds very nice and the part about having your own space is pretty great. Economically however it was a shit tier move. Most of my friends stayed home and finished their Master's or whatever and they had no trouble getting gf who apparently didn't care that they lived with their parents in their 20s. The idea is that you're supposed to feel some kind of nobility from the "I did it all by myself" act... but if I take inventory this move didn't work out for me at all.

Wow user, what are your interests?

You need companionship. If you're really desperate church is an option.

Thanks, mate. I'm guessing the number is registered to her father, who has no Facebook. I did reactivate my profile, and looked up a particular someone, however. I feel a little better, now, that she has aged FAR worse than I have.

I don't know, I've never been motivated by material possessions or the idea of excursion. The only thing I truly want is companionship and a nice family but I don't know how to work towards that. I guess essentially I want a role. I feel soulless and detached. That's what makes me stay in my shell when people try to talk to me.
Well, I have "interests" but they don't inspire me or make me feel passionate. Broadly I'd say I'm interested in language, literature, art, music. But even saying that makes me feel phony. I haven't dedicated any significant portion of my time to that stuff in several years. I think I'm chronically depressed or something.
I can't go to church in good faith since I don't believe. I wish I could believe but I just can't. This world is really fucked up.

26 here. I'm just a robot, I once had dreams.

So, you want advice then?
I mean, girls aren't any different than guys besides a few things. Strike up a friendly conversation about what's going on, or something. If she seems creeped out or tries to distance herself from you, then move on to someone else.

Try getting involved with some sort of social event or club. Do you have friends who go to parties?

Online dating is an option. Just be yourself, and be your best self. You'll find someone. It can take time you know.

>Strike up a friendly conversation about what's going on, or something.
You say this as though it's a natural and easy thing to do. You must realize many of us here struggle with that kind of thing.
I suppose her being a girl added a further level of emotional angst to the equation, but it's not like I can make conversation with men any easier.

This world being fucked is not against the church narrative you know. But anyways, let's not go through this path if you don't find helping. Just know they can be really supportive.

Don't feel bad user. Your interests are really better than mine. I only like video-games, middle ages and ancap stuff and I got myself a girlfriend and some friends.

You don't really need to be super invested in what you like. That would actually make you boring. Instead you need to be able apply what you like in normal day conversation. Be really shallow, but in the end have some song or literature to quote about whatever you're talking about.

People love when you can talk about mundane stuff and show how some musician or writer talked about it.

>You say this as though it's a natural and easy thing to do. You must realize many of us here struggle with that kind of thing.

I forgot, I kind of always put it in my shoes when giving advice. It's easier to talk than actually do it.

Practice on your friends? Maybe open Tindr or some other dating app and try talking to people on that? (might not work so well but hey it's a start).

Maybe just literally push yourself out of your comfort zone, and talk to some people. Who cares if you strike out. You're never going to see them again probably.

I have never done that shit and I have had many girls. 25 to 30 dude. Life is not a fucking sitcom you sperg

You're born for drugs and drugs are there for you lad. Buckle up.

>I have never done that shit and I have had many girls. 25 to 30 dude. Life is not a fucking sitcom you sperg

Yeah but it can be harder for others. Not everyone has the same level of confidence, or social skillset.

This. Take some acid, shrooms, dxm, and dmt. Explore your inner mind, become a shaman. Fuck normies.

Do listen. You'll learn more about the world and yourself then you'd ever think was possible. You won't even care that you have no friends, gf/bf or whatever because you'll realize that none of it matters in life.

I went through my drug phase when I was in my late teens. I had my share of "experiences" but I'm 29 now I'm ready to live in the world.

Yo my dude you need to start clicking on the post number when you reply to a specific post. It just looks like you're talking to yourself.

I mean, drinking and weed, fine go for it.

Other shit, it'll fuck up your life. I've seen it too many times and lost too many people in my life to hard drugs. It's seriously not worth it,

My bad. I usually just lurk.

I developed schizophrenia after taking 5 tabs of acid one night. Don't do drugs kids.

What evidence do you have for that? It might have brought out a dormant mental illness, but not develop a new one. Have you been diagnosed, or are you just trying to garner attention by getting people like me enraged?

I have a job interview in 1.5 hours. Im terrified. I found some alepam and olanzapine tablets at home. Should i take? Which one? How much? Help.

I feel like I'm completely unhirable at 26 with no work history

anyone here get their first job at a similar age? what can I even say if I get asked about it in an interview?

You can make up your character around your passions. Then go and apply your passions in an outdoor environment and you will eventually find "companionship and a nice family" by repeatedly trying to interact with others engaged in the same passion related activities. And you have to be witty and charismatic. And a lot of other things.
You clearly do not seem ready to live in the world if you've not found and applied most of my answer. You seem very afraid. Its really a shame you want to downgrade from drugs to "the outside world" when its obvious you will have a lot of trouble engaging in it.

>Don't listen.
Fuck off normalfag. Lsd is great for robots

I got my first job at 25, I kind of bullshitted my last few jobs on my resume. It was a shit tier busser position at a sports bar. I'd be lying if I said it didn't change my life but I hate it now

gotta start somewhere, just tell em you'll be there on time and have reliable transportation

Fuck off druggie. Drugs kill people.

People die every day. Yet they still roam the streets. Hollowed souls in no one's world. Fuck off retarded normalfag.

No don't self-medicate your anxiety. It's just one of those difficult things in life that you have to learn to face. Try to expand your perspective instead of hyper focusing on the interview. You have a job interview in 1.5 hours. What will you be doing in 3 hours? In 6 hours? Think about those things too.
Tell them that you had an illness and leave it at that.

Its not ice or heroin you dumb fuck

Whats for sure is I'm fucked if i don't get this job. Its just the issue of getting through the interview process.

All that's true but drugs don't offer anything substantial. You can go on having inner emotional realizations forever, one right after another. It's also a very hard life style, mentally and physically. I've always had trouble engaging with the outside world. Perhaps that's a sign that the outside world is precisely where my attention needs to be directed.

25 plus people. You remember 2000s internet on the Bush era. Do you guys remember Antifa being all over the internet or is it recent?

Not really. The only thing I did on the internet in the 2000s was play runescape and visit the xtreme sports chat room on yahoo messenger and talk to long-distance gfs.

>had no trouble getting gf who apparently didn't care that they lived with their parents in their 20s

does this actually happen?
26 and thinking of moving out and to be closer to work

>Women expect me to have my own place even though the average rent where I live is $1800 per month

The Boomer professors that kept their communism ideals are good. Most of the rest suck and are horrible.

Feels batman

The only similarities is that TV wouldn't shut the fuck up about Bush either. And for the most part everyone used to stay in their corners: white trash stormfront was something you had to go looking for and the same was true of the braindead left. Politics only came into the forefront like this after social media took hold and suddenly every dumbass's opinion could be shouted from the virtual rooftops. Before you used to need to be able to write in coherent sentences to your local newspaper or something.

I am a 29-year-old and I did not ever hear about antifa until about last year. I thought antifa was a completely new thing, but apparently it has been around since the early- to mid-20th century.

Back then it was harder for anything to be "all over the internet", because there weren't big platforms like Facebook, Twitter or the like yet, the only thing you had were personal blogs, fotolog and myspaces, and rarely any of those hit the mainstream.
The whole internet changed when literally everyone and their mothers had access to it on their mobile devices. So if Antifa was on the internet back then, they sure as hell weren't big, partly too because their counterparts weren't present in big numbers either.

Fuk u kyle

Far left stuff on the internet was pretty fringe until 10 years ago. The internet was predominantly libertarian/centrist liberal back then

I never browsed Jow Forums, not back then or now, but back then Jow Forums wasn't spilling into every board, you had the occasional blitzkrieg boys high fiving each other in a thread without much shilling.

>what am I supposed to say
Its situations like that which make me appreciate my interactionless wagecuck job, though it simultaneously instills terror from the implication of never improving. Sadly, alcohol is no longer an effective coping mechanism.
