Yeap, right there with you user
Its not all that bad. You can finally work towards something, building a future, building a career, a family, etc.
Things that provide long-term satisfaction, instead of just indulging in things that give instant gratification but have no added value to your life.
Time to grow up son
fucking newfags, talk to me when your 40
>he thinks time goes by fast just by being in his 20's
Oh boy, just wait until your 30's. I cannot imagine how quickly it will pass by when I reach my 40's and beyond.

not so fast
Look, the only reason I want a kid is so I don't end up in a home. I learned this from the indians.
Don't do it user. Don't fall into the trap. Go get that full time job. Then, move the fuck out. Get a cheap apartment. Work on yourself. Your parents will take care of themselves, they'll have no other choice. You are not obligated to take care of them, except MAYBE when they are physically unable to care for themselves. My family has been in that cycle of wasted lives, living to take care of their elders. This might be viewed as honorable by some. I, however, refuse to follow the same path. They are adults. Leave them to handle their own shit. Return to help them in the last few years of their lives if you feel it necessary.

Seriously how do I lose it before it's too late? I have no social skills whatsoever and am getting kind of desperate, do I just try my luck on Tinder?

You accept it, that's what you do
>You accept it
"no"
I'm a different 40 year old. There's more of us here than you would think.
There aren't a whole lot of lifting sites that have a decent casual atmosphere or move as fast as this board.

I'm at this spot right now
Just turned 22, highschool feels like yesterday, I feel so much closer to my 14 years of age than to 30, which is only 2 world cups from now.
I'm not a neet, not an autist, I just feel like life is going too fast, I need it to slow down. I have a gf of 4 years and some aunts already taunt me asking about the marriage date seriously WHAT THE FUCK a decade ago I was a kid and today people are talking about fucking marriage with me Jesus Christ this is fucking terrifying
Human lives pass way too fast, I can't conceive the idea of some of my friends I used to play ball at school, literally less than a decade ago are now father and/or going bald already.
We should be elves, our lifespand time is way too short
Last, and the most stuttering realisation I had: Tom Cruise is almost 60 years old. That's right, the hunk we all grew up watching and listening older girls talk about how handsome he was is almost a fucking grandpa
God please make it stop
I finished HS 8 years ago and i still regularly have dreams about HS. And no, it doesnt get better from here.
it was uphill both ways, young whippersnapper
>before its too late
Oh no no no no
41 here. It does. Work hard now. Make the career and social gains. By 34 you will make enough to not want for anything.
The real secret, is you will never feel like an adult. Every new life event is something you fumble through to the best of your ability. So stop expecting to wake up one day as a well adjusted adult. Trust me, the generation following yours is looking at you thinking you have it all figured out, but that's only in comparison to themselves.
Time appears to go faster as you get older because you get comfortable and bored and have no surprises or anything to look forward to from day to day.
Just mostly finished university. Last year I was doing a course overload and an exercise physiology research thesis and some big extracurriculars, as well as some very exciting and novel things, I had zero spare time and didn't get enough sleep but let me tell you that year felt like 3 years.
I work outside at a very hard and unpleasant job all summer, with all the surprises and novelty you could ever handle, and summer feels like a year.
This past year I moved back in with my mom and I'm just upgrading marks in 2 online university classes (easy ones I've already taken) and have the house to myself 99% of the time, and this year went by in absolutely zero time. September feels like 2 months ago. I'm very comfortable and life is easier than it's ever been since I was a baby. It was good for my cortisol levels to have such a break but it really taught me a lesson about the importance of struggle and suffering and novel/ emotional stimulation. Without it time just flies by.
Don't get greypilled.
Retire from unemployment?
Go on....
I feel bad for all of you that are scared of life
you speak the truth user
Lol welcome to the club son
im currently working a job where we grind out 50-70 hours a week and make hella overtime but because im young (20) they are paying me 16$/hr canadian, im probably gonna make around 30-35k this year after taxes. What i wanna know or would like some opinions on is this: I think im gonna work till i have about 70k and probably 22 and then take a year off and travel the world living in different countries around the world living and working there part time, is this a bad idea? Or should I just spend my money on going to university?
>third year in college
>have friends graduating soon
>they're all trying to get jobs
>so will i 12 months from now
>yet their situations seem so alien to me
it's just a bit unnerving to think about
Sounds like a good idea, but you should do more research on this if 70k would be enough, also your plans might change in the future so be aware of that.
Spending that cash traveling sounds more fun plus you will broaden your horizons, meet new cultures and people. Spending it on uni is the practical thing to do since it can set you up for the future and by setting you up I mean making more money and generally living a more comfortable life, unless you study something stupid. The best thing would've been to do both, by working part time in other countries you might be able to keep some of that initial fund and use it on a good uni but I have no idea how expensive a university is since we get that shit for free here.
Travelling is a meme. Don't waste the money. Save it and do something productive. Learn to enjoy the life you have at home. Live a simple life.
It's scary, but it won't be so much once you dive into your work. I was terrified just for my first EE internship, now I'm working a full time job like it's nothing
Listen to this user. Travelling is overrated, I'm visiting a new country almost every year for 1-2 weeks and it's great, but those couple of weeks are enough. Going around the world for an entire year is pointless.
>work for 40-50 years
yeah I noticed that most of us will be doing that. Unlike my dad and my friend's dads who were in the military they all did 20-30 years so yeah they can be neets for the rest of their lives with retirement pay and free medical for life. He makes more than me doing nothing and I make 21/hr lmao
I'm just waiting for water to run out and to have to Mad Max my neighbor for blood to survive desu
25yo kissless virgin
girls are turning heads to me at the street
yet everytime one that i like is into me, i fuck it up.
it has happened like 5 times in my lifetime, and i want to get out of this ride.
i know pussy wont solve my problems, but self improvement by now feels like escapism, not goal itself
You guys really think traveling is a meme?
I really enjoy seeing different cultures and experiencing new places and living abroad (decently) isnt too expensive. Im also thinking right now ill probably be studying as well by myself into finances and etc. And then maybe if I figure out a good career thats worth pursuing ill come back and go to school.
A 4 year program in Canada is 40-60k including rent food etc
My current feels
>Got accepted in medical school
>Everyone hears about it through my inner circle of friends (I didn't really want people to find out)
>People who never wanted to associate with me before are clearly trying to go out of their way to become friends with me now
>Everyone talks about how smart I am (as if they knew me) and how they knew I was always going to get in (yeah right)
>Younger premeds keep walking up to me trying to get my number
>Older adults head nod at me and acknowledge my existence now
>Girls who showed little interest before just have to hear I'm going to medical school and become attracted/interested in me
>Basically people want to know me now, as opposed to before where they couldn't care less
>I'm starting to realize I went from a ghost to someone people wanted to know way too fast
>People actually care about what I have to say now as well, as opposed to before where I got told I was mansplaining/privileged/etc.
>No one really knows how bad this is getting to me
I'm happy to have gotten in, but I guess I didn't realize how petty everything is when It comes to what you do/what you are going to do. I guess I was a lot more naïve than I thought, though as a not so attractive dude I'm glad that it seems to exist... I just feel shell shocked right now off the turnaround. I also feel pathetic seeing as I feel more confident now, and it all hinged on the acceptance, when in reality not a whole lot changed about me.
I'm 21 and feel the same way. Seems like most people feel very young until they hit 24 and only have a year left until they are halfway in their twenties. Does not help that my face genetics is nothing like Tom Cruise either.
Sometimes I'm incredibly happy that I am more emotionally stable than most people, however I sometimes think I should be feeling.. more. Looking back the moments where I had the most joy were those filled with emotion. I always look back to the times where I kissed my high-school crush for the first time, or when I got my drivers license and spent all my money on gas.
Time flies so fast and I've come to the realization that most women of high quality are going to get locked down within the next 3-5 years tops. The only ones I have met that I would marry are already married or have been in a serious relationship for years.
While I praise the time we live in for having all the information I need, I occasionally get lost in the thought of living in a time where reality is only what you see ahead.
There is literally no being old until you are like 70 since test is so easy to obtain now.
Wow, fucking bummer dude. You're like a dyel complaining that girls like him better now that he's fit. Spoiler alert, success is attractive. Stop throwing yourself a pity party and give yourself permission to enjoy your life. People like you make me fucking sick.

The ultimate red-pill is getting a job that requires you to do nothing.
Just become a security guard like me, you literally stand there all day and get paid for it. You also get to (((check if hot girls are stealing stuff))).
I live In Australia though so I don't have to deal with niggers causing trouble.
What if someone wants to make decent money tho.
I get $29 an hour. It's nothing amazing but it pays the bills.
fuck that, move to another state and restart your life in a big city
I’m a 39 year old kissless virgin, I’ll never know what it’s like to hold a woman in my arms and feel her lips against mine. I’ll never be able to smell a woman’s hair and feel on her skin as I penetrate her.
A year ago I made one last attempt at finding love, I went to the gym for a while and started eating better but it didn’t make a difference. I’m still depressed with everlasting hopelessness and no amount of lifting would change the fact that I’ll always be 5’4 with a ugly face and awkward voice and a way less than average penis. I can’t even keep a job and I was forced to drop out of college when I couldn’t afford it.
I have nothing, my life was a mistake and I never know the joys of a spouse or kids. Why me? Why did I have to suffer? Life has been nothing but misery even when I was a kid and now even as a adult I find no joy in living.
All I have are you guys keeping me here, I love all of you and I love seeing you guys live the lives I unfortunately missed. Thank you all for being my only friends and support in my life, it’s means a lot to me.
>5'4
HS was a fucking dream. Driving to the coast with friends to play frisbee and fuck around, sneaking in to crowded house parties, standing with the crowd under the bright Friday football lights, sleeping over at friends houses, getting fucked up and ending the night with half-off burritos, having no real responsibilities aside from school, etc.
College is rewarding in its own way I guess. I have good grades and good friends, and am way more Jow Forums than I ever was, but it’s just not the same. I just feel like I won’t be able to truly experience those pure, exhilarating, carefree, euphoric high-on-life moments again and it kinda fucks me up.
Grow up. You've had 20 years.
Dude, fuck your parents. Just put them out on their own.
I will be praying for you, my friend. Never lose hope. You, too, will make it.
Because we're all gonna fucking make it.
Jesus christ
Tbh the only thing that gives me optimism is that my parents both seem like they’re peaking in their 50’s and consider it the best times in their life. By that I mean very financially successful, well respected, and involved/ influential in their community. Only thing that keeps me optimistic about the future.
I feel the same way. Since I turned 18 I feel there's less and less room for humanity, feelings and emotions. When I was a teenager, my parents would be comprehensive and talk to me, understand what I'd be feeling. Today if I try to go deep with them I'll just be told: "yeah, you should focus on engineering, that'll clear your mind"
I think the biggest mark a person has in their life is becoming a parent. This is basically passing the rod ahead, your lineage is finished and now it's up to your offspring. I can tell my parents feel this way with me, I can see in their eyes their lives are finished, because they fullfilled their roles raising me.
I just want to feel the safety of childhood around them again sometimes. I can't take on the world alone.
>only 40 years working
somebody tell him
Couldn't have spoke the truth better
its also because you have more memories as a reference and to look back to so its feels like it goes faster.
Not the user you replied to, but thanks for the kind words.
I'm here for you
your youth is only just beginning. You finally have control over your life to do what you want, live where you want to, be who you want to be. And you are moaning about having all this freedom like a fucking child. unironically kys
keep complaining, I'm sure it'll help.
This faggot is actually right.
Just be smart enough not to fall into different kinds of mind grinding slavery like fulltime job and marriage
>WAAAH I'm not a CHILD anymore, I actually have to be responsible and provide for myself? HOW FUCKING UNFAIR WAAAAAH!!!
