25+ General

Writing long-term journal was always a very double-edged sword. But keep at it.

It really is, but I've never regretted it. Maybe I'll post some shit from it with names redacted and no context someday. Over 4 years worth of feels stored in ink on paper.

Been spending the past few days crying. Crying over the past and about the future.

It's pretty bad and I can't stop thinking about it. Been having thoughts of putting a belt around my neck and just ending it.

I'm 29 on a couple months
I'm doing better than ever but I still have no fucking idea where and how do I find a woman that would sleep with me. One part of the problem is that I live in a bumfuck nowhere and on a working day I can't just go out and meet people. The other part is that I work shifts six days a week including all weekends so my only free days are like Thursday or Wednesday. How am I even supposed to meet people?

27
Got a part-time as cashier in an area with loads of tourists, it's not as bad as I thought it would be, I even attempt to speak some french, not many costumers as I work at night (6pm to midnight), then have to clean a little. I cycle there and back, starting to finally get fit.
Reduced the amount of cancer sticks a day.
The only thing that bothers me is that I sense I won't pass many of my exams, so it will take more more to complete my degree (still 2 years to go).
Eh, could be much worse, let's see how long it takes until I get bored of the routine.

Have exams in less than a week any advice on getting myself to study?

Losing hearing here. Fun stuff. Hope you make it through.

30 have a family, successful. Fuck you

Life is hard. It's hard for everyone, that's what fucks me up. If I'm having a bad day, someone's having a worse one somewhere. Bad life, same thing. Relating to others involves sharing a bit of yourself, but I'm sickened and paralyzed by the fear that I am going to focus on me too much. Another blowhard, I don't want to be that so I don't talk.
Anyone who shares your story, I've read it and I'd clack the right keys to make you feel heard if I knew them.

Thinking about killing myself instead of going to work tomorrow, as per usual. Inertia might be all there is left driving me.

Me too, let's start today :D

This is gonna be me soon
>just remember user a firm handshake!

Getting disability bux soon

kek that's literally what my granddad and Boomer uncle said
>Just find whoever is in charge of hiring, shake their hand, and hand them your CV - it worked back in my day! :^)

>30 years old
>good education
>100k/year job
>own apartment
>plenty of friends, medium sized social network
>havent had sex in a year
>prior to that one time was another year
>all but given up dating, can only get old past the wall roasts if I try tinder, and my social circle is a desert dating wise
>hate clubs

What option is there for someone like me to find someone? I dont understand it. I feel like Ive been tricked into believing that being a nice guy and getting my shit together will magically make things work out and now its too late. Wasted my study years where there were plenty of opportunities because of this dumb belief that if I just did what society told me like a good boy there would be a gf at the end. So fucking deluded Ive been. I blame my dad for not telling me shit about life.

Been on disability bux for about 5 or 6 years now. Congrats user, it's a bitch to get on them. Had to get a lawyer and everything.

I just hope you, like me, have actual mental/physical issues, and not just getting on them cause you're lazy.

>actually caring about whether or not they have a mental or physical issue
I think anyone who can't even work the simplest of work out of laziness is probably a good enough indicator that something is wrong.

Also who gives a fuck take your morals elsewhere.

one of my worst experiences was finding a "Letter to my post-Uni self" that was part of an assignment the first year at Uni. Literally I had written stuff like
>I see myself having a girlfriend, maybe we have been together for a few years already
>have plenty of new friendships that I can see lasting for a long time into the future
>have an activity that Ive spent time learning and becoming skilled at

The naive wishes, the cluelessness about life, the lack of insight in my own shortcomings. Just fucking kill me. Of course I didnt complete either of those. No gf, no long term friends, no meaningful hobby.

Fuck off normalnigger. Go hang yourself so we don't have to waste our time hunting you down.

26 year old here.
First time smoking weed in 2 years. Feels good man.

Not an oldbot, but I fear that I will only find time to get a gf once I am out of college and have built a career. And by that time I will at least be 25.

Checking in.

I turned 25 a few months ago, things stalled out pretty bad here.. no job,no friends that are available to do anything. My uncle offered me a job with him in another state, so it looks like I'll be moving in with him. I really hope I can jump start my own life there.

I'm going to graduate college at 30 because I started it as a 25yo. My classmates will be the age I started, if not younger.

The only thing going well in my life is my wizard build.

I'm not ready for this again. 55 days until I move out of this dump to somewhere with AC so it's not worth investing in a window AC unit.

I work in the middle of san franscisco and also cant meet people. Either they have no interest in me, or I've none in them. I'm on totally different wavelengths from everyone I meet.

This is the easiest time in your life to get a gf. Don't let it pass you by. Please save yourself.

Goddammit, I don't want to become a boomer.

who /lowsexdrive/ here?

I'm now 30 and all I got going for me since I was 20 is now I'm a slut. 3somes 4somes 1somes. Didn't see that cummin

Female (male), or gay?

alright
wish i had a gf though

Female, but more of a IRL slut

i am a teacher
was missing more and more days of school towards the end of the year. looking forward to this summer. am afraid that next year i will quit a month in because of how overwhelming it will be,yet again.

forgot to mention, did the whole "working in the community i grew up in, trying to make it better" thing and what do i have?

no girl
salary so low i either go from barely making it to getting evicted depending on how much money i spent. there is no budget freedom for me
paying back student loans
paying health insurance, rent

every single day at work is 25+ kids without dads or parents who look up from their cell phones. all needing to be educated. all needing bonding becuase they have so little at home. all struggling before they even get into the classroom. all indoctrinated into the world of memes by fuckin 3rd grade, communicating like esoteric smartasses in between bouts of crying because "so-and-so" is not gonna be their friend next year.

i love my job, i do. its just my life + this job combination that is not working out. i truly invite any professional in any field to be legally, morally and educationally responsible for children for seven hours a day, five times a week and then get to the weekend without feeling like they deserve a mansion full of world-class blowjob androids

29-year-old here.

So, uh, anybody here ever try PlentyOfFish? I ask because I signed up to it a few days ago and I keep getting these requests to meet from what appear to be spambots. Is this normal? These spambots all generally seem to have pornographic pictures and/or the pictures have these tags on them that say things like:

>Im also on localhump.com

One spambot sent me a message with a phone number to text to. I asked it if it was a spambot and it responded with a message identical to the one it had sent to me previously.

So far I have about six matches where the feeling is mutual (we both liked each other) that do not appear to be spambots. But I am worried that they might turn out to be spambots after all. And most of them seem to live pretty far. One lives in Las Vegas, another in San Diego, while I live in Los Angeles.

A few of the girls that I see on PlentyOfFish also appear to be transgendered. They actually say that they are transgendered on their profiles. I am not really into that.

The only real reason I am doing this is because my 7cups therapist actually suggested that I try dating as it may improve my mood and she recommended PlentyOfFish to me.

I also signed up to Tinder and got four matches. Pretty cute girls. But I worry that these might be spambots too. One person that liked me only had pictures of a dog and they claimed to be 1 year old. Uhhh... yeah.

all that separates me from homelessness is the fact that my increasingly geriatric parents have not croaked yet; I have been a neet since 2010 and am 33 and still don't quite grasp the reality of my situation

I honestly spend a lot of time thinking about and visualizing winning the lottery

I turned 25 this month, now I can finally post in here, yay

I've been doing nothing but work and watching anime ever since I moved out, so I made a goal for myself that during June I'll spend my free time on weekdays on one of my old hobbies instead. Should I focus on gamedev shenanigans, or try to get back into drawing?

Have you started yet?
>I haven't

32
I feel fine
still no gf but honestly I'm happy with my life and the future is looking good

28 here.
I've never really put much stock into trying to get female attention. In some ways this is a good thing, I got a decent job, bought a townhouse, have the income to pursue my hobbies, but man I've been feeling lonely. I'm comfortable being alone but sometimes I wish I didn't have to be alone. I've even stopped feeling sorry for myself about being KHV, of course I'll never admit that, but it just sucks that all of my attempts to get dates this year haven't gone anywhere.

i dont knwo your clinical history , but usually knee injurys get worse by inactivity , so dont stop moving around , even if its a little , try walking every week for 30 mins or so , maybe going a couple flights of stairs to keep some muscle tone.

i busted mine skating , if i stay a week in a row doing minimal stuff like lurking in the pc and driving everywhere , my knees hurt whenver moving in stairs or jogging onwanrds ( speedwise)

need some receipts on this story. I'd love for it to be true but its just too far fetched

All thats left is
>get fit
>get laid

you meet all other roasties' qualifications.

ya man, I feel super nostalgic for my old self. I just knew I was going to conquer the world. With that mindset and some hard work, I did manage to do pretty well for a number of years. I guess aging just gets us all jaded

nowai famalam. I'd say I've averaged 2faps a day since I was like 15. 29 now. Try eating more meat and pumping iron for testosterone imo

Man, I cannot believe that I have been on this stupid fucking web site since May of 2005. I have been on this stupid fucking web site for thirteen fucking years and I still do not get it. I have been on Jow Forums longer than the amount of time that Jow Forums was around when I first started posting here. I still feel like a newfag even though I have been on this web site since before the term newfag even became a thing. In a time when everyone called each other Gaiafags. And I still do not fucking understand you people at all. I feel like the general consensus on anything on Jow Forums changes like every fucking year. Getting called a newfag all the time for not being able to recognize one-year-old memes. I am 29 fucking years old and I feel like I am surrounded by teenagers. Why the fuck do I keep coming here? I do not fucking know. Jesus fucking Christ. Does m00t even still post here anymore or does he only hang out over on Reddit or SomethingAwful or whatever-the-fuck web site is popular nowadays? Holy fucking shit where the fuck did everybody go. All of my old internet friends from 2002-2009 dropped out of the face of the Earth. I feel so lonely and miserable.

fellow 29yr old here. I don't keep up with flavor of the week memes so much either. M00tykins works for google last I heard.

I come back to just shitpost with my fellow oldbots in these types of threads. It just gives me something to do.

why do you hate yourself?
I'm also 26, I don't quite hate myself yet but I wish I was dead. post some of your journal, I'd like to read it

I do the same, it's all so scary but I hope you can pull through user.

me too, come on guys! we can do it!

I had a couple geslave jobs and hated them both, right now I have an excuse to be unemployed and at my parents' house, studying the stuff I like, though it's not the same as before...
now I have to work at some point in my life and there's no getting around it at all. Either I wageslave or I do my own thing but to do my own thing I need to commit to something and everything I do ulitmately seems like a waste of time amidst all the possibilities, but everything else is either too hard or there's no job for that unless I have a college degree yes I'm talking about programming and sysadming and netadmin and the like, and anyway it's pure wageslaving. I should get out of the city
That's the thing I hate the most, the fact that being an adult, in a capitalist society (no flamewars pls) and living in the very capital of the country means that everybody around me thinks it's a great idea to be a fucking wageslave, well, at least they seem to think it's necessary but I really don't think it is and if it were I'd rather not do it yet I'm stuck to the city because of my incapacity to do anything and the very same reason I've resorted to wageslaving because I have no talent or skill whatsoever (nothing that i've developed beyond a beginner's skill at least) and there's so much to learn that I can't possibly (literally, my mind won't let me) focus on one single thing and everybody is pressing me to get a normie job and that's the thing I hate the most because I believe in freedom but every fucking single body is telling me that I need to wageslave and that's the only way but I wouldn't be able to live my whole life wageslaving.

I feel as if I'm destined for a hermit life since I have very little desire to initiate any sort of relationship, even friendship. I'd like to build an adobe house in the countryside and grow most of my own food, kind of create a small paradise for myself and any animals around. I hope I can muster the energy to do so.

Somebody just fucking kill me. Oh god. Please. Just do me a favor and kill me already. I want to die. I am in legal possession of an actual firearm that you can all kill me with.

Another day older and deeper in dept...

Man, I feel ya. Also 28, college never worked out, got one gf at 23 but it ended fast. Been single ever since and not even a glimmer of hope, but it's for lack of trying. I built a good professional life, like the direction I'm headed but loneliness is tough man. Hope you find a good one

>How are all my oldbots doing out there?

Just working on my Ancestry.com family tree. Looking for my family members on Facebook, looking through their pictures to use on the family tree while watching Agents of SHIELD on Netflix. Bored out of my damn mind.

I got a dog, honestly it has changed my opinion on life. Being responsible for such a loving innocent creature makes me want to be a good person. I want to make sure I can afford good dog food and any vet bills, I want to stay in shape so I can take her for walks and run with her in the dog park. When I get home and she's happy to see me, it helps with the emptiness so much. Don't get one if you can't take care of them bros, but if you can, go for it.

God damn Im always curious about how true these stories are It wasnt like this 8 years ago brobots Or maybe 6 i dont remember when r9k came back

Were depressed but it was funny We were virgins but it was funny Did none of you grow up Change at all Did you just dig yourselves into deeper and deeper holes as time went on

Im 30 now but Im making 6 figures cliche i know I bought a house 2 years ago and Im in a long term relationship with a person I could see myself marrying

All my normie friends Theyre fucking loser burnouts but I expected that because they dont see any further into the future other than the next night at the bar which is usually every day at this point.

I expected some of you were lost causes those who pissed in bottles or refused to shower for long periods of time but fucking hell I just thought we were all having a laugh here. I wasnt really a 20 year old virgin in college Yeah I sucked with woman but damn it was all for laughs I thought

It's been two weeks since my thyroid biopsy, still waiting for results. I'm secretly hoping I have cancer. Thyroid cancer isn't even hard to treat, but I just want something to happen in my life.

I've been stuck in a rut for years now and just want to shake things up a bit.

I feel the same way, man. I've been here since like 2006. I'm lucky to have kept one internet friend from like 2002 to the present time, we have chatted just about every single fucking day from then until now, it's pretty crazy. We're almost like a symbiotic life form at this point. Not sure where I'd be without my bro to chat with as time passes us by.

25+ threads here are the next best thing I guess. I cherish these threads, as well.

25 here. I gave up 2 years ago, uni dropout, shitty min wage job, not worth it. No friends, don't go out, spend my days reading and listening to music. Once my mum is dead i'm pulling the trigger, no hard feelings towards anyone, not even mad, it's just some people don't enjoy living

I stopped posting in /v/ in the last year or so when I realised that it was now populated by people almost 10 years younger than me.

Just by the comparisons or references they make it's clear they're all of the 360/PS3 generation.

I think the world has moved on without me in that sense. I no longer have the passion for my hobbies that I used to but I also don't have new ones to replace them apart from a focus on diet and appearance.

I've decided I need a shake up in life so going alone to Thailand at the end of the year. Hoping it knocks something loose in me.

I think a lot of them might be literal 10 year olds

Has anyone started yet? Because I haven't

nope! do you have a discord? let's motivate each other

Maybe you guys should find psychiatrists to prescribe Adderall to you.

27 kv neet

im trying to get a job and get my drivers license, my driving exam is on june 13th. once i get that i will apply for security guard jobs. i think those are the only ones i can actually do. ive been a neet for about 7 years now

otherwise same old same old. i dont enjoy vidya anymore practically, but i dont regret playing them, vidya was like the only enjoyment i got out of life, back when i enjoyed it

anyone remember this song?

I'm on the r9k discord are you?

They probably know you're unqualified, and liked you enough to take a chance on you anyways.
Don't feel too much pressure, lean on your seniors (in terms of tenure, not necessarily age). when you first hire in is the time to show you're unqualified, build up fast.
If you try too hard to pretend like you know what you're doing, you'll conversely look like an idiot instead.

dude fuck losing ur virginity at 29, lol wtf

im 27 kv and im focusing on keeping my virginity until death. i already believe in God strongly, and i believe in a possible reincarnation, so i have goals on asceticism and stopping pleasure, as opposed to getting laid

its SO over once ur past like 24~ and still a virgin, honestly i feel that you play the cards your dealt wrongly if you unironically try to lose it. and why bother going to thailand if u can just buy a hooker in ur native country>?

I'm not, post it and I'll join

On one hand, you almost have a point.
On the other hand, you're a delusional lunatic.

>you're a delusional lunatic
trust me m8, you dont know the half of it

i literally castrated myself, heres the thread
archive.fo/iDtsG

lately these days ive find myself thinking all of this is just a really bad dream and that this life im living cant be real. it just feels like everyday is exactly the same and its some black-and-white nightmare reel thats stuck on repeat

I don't really believe this story to be honest. If it is true I'd say it was probably a worthwhile experience in and of itself.

>last time I did anything productive was in 2013

All the creative files on my computer end sometime that year.

At least you still feel guilty about it?
I went through a few years of telling myself "I'm not doing shit, but as long as I have this inclination to be creative... as long as it's still there, I'll get my groove back someday!"

Whoops, it went away.
