I turned 36 last week and my real life hasn't even begun. I am trapped in a dead end slave wage job, started to bald five years ago, and i still spend my time lurking and playing vidya.None of my childhood dreams and hopes came true.
When will things get better? Or is it time to abandon all hope?

You have to put effort into changing things. You think it just happens by itself?
At least you can be a living warning sign of what not to do.

Really makes a nigger think

I'm 26 now and it still feels like I'm waiting for my life to "start". It's like I'm always looking forward to something but I don't know what. Always looking forward for my life to "start".
After suffering from a seizure at work, I'm now a NEET shut in. With continuing seizures it feels like nothing is going to improve.

Option 1: go through the grueling process of making life match your dreams
Option 2: change your dreams to match your life
David Cook
what if this is your real life? what if you aren't meant to serve any greater purpose but instead just live a mundane life as a wagie?
Camden Jones
none of these things should be a problem you nigger. 80 procent of population has a wage job, loses there hair in 20's and no one's childhood dreams come true, you have different problems.

James Collins
these
you were fed a hollywood lie of what life would be like and now you're depressed that you realized it's fake
no happy family with your wife and kids, no suburban home with a pet, no pool and trampoline in the backyard, no fulfilling and well paying job
none of that. you born, you work a shit job you hate just to survive, and you die alone
welcome to the modern world

Never mind the fact that your fucking tiny brain keeps calling us a racial slur repeatedly, do you not understand how hard it is to change these things not just physically but mentally as well it's not just some OH IM GONNA THINK ITS GONNA HAPPEN SO IT IS it's fucking gruelling it destroys people's will in the process and not many can reach it there's a reason we congratulate those who do

>my real life hasnt even begun yet
It started decades ago OP, this is real life and it is YOUR life. Refusing to acknowledge that you havent started yet is an attempt to deflect responsibility for it and until you do that and honestly confront yourself it will never change. But at 36 you may well be truly fucked for life and all your effort henceforth would just be playing catch-up to achieve a fraction of what you could have had you started sooner. Im in the same boat but 28 I cant even imagine being in my late 30s and still in the same situation I would honestly an hero because my dog will have died by then too.

Nice doubles
Kaiji S1 was the best part of the whole series.
Lost interest after the bog stuff.

what do you mean by saying you're in the same boat?

Do you live in a low cost of living area? No? Step 1 is to move to one.

Goddamn, get your shit together user!
If you want a better future for yourself, set out of your comfort zone.
The sweet life doesn't come to you by wait.

doing that stuff takes willpower and discipline that a lot of us simply cannot muster

you have to start really small and gradually and systematically increase your exertion of willpower, it's just like progressive overload in lifting weights.

>When will things get better
I hate to tell yah bud but it aint gettin better at this point. If it wasn't turning around by 26 you should have done a hard reset on your life and went to community college, or trade school, while your family may have had some sliver of support, but now you're fucked. It's not getting better, you shouldn't still be playing video games past 25, you shouldn't be in a dead end job to begin with if you don't somewhat enjoy it, and you should have worked harder to fulfill your dreams but you go caught into the wageslave meme. The most you can have now is settling down with a chick with 2 kids, getting a midlife crisis, and hopefully a marginally better job at a cubical office, or a firm. At least that way you might get a taste of what the American Dream is like.

your real life ended a long time ago. now perish.
Carter Howard
Nothing will get better until you start to cooperate with God and stop sinning. Go to latin mass tomorrow, this is your new purpose. You will have an instant social and career support network while you work on saving your eternal soul from hell. You will not be happy until you come to Christ, who is logos incarnate.. You have always known this.

Duncan Trussel says that karma is like a field that you plant seeds in. The seeds being small behaviours like making your bed, skipping dessert, eating a salad for a meal instead of pizza, smiling when you dont want to. And over a long period of time and with the right mixture of seeds that field yields either good fruit or bad fruit. Listen to Duncan, its a pretty good message.
Gavin Green
who is that hideous mongrel and what anime do i have to watch to see more
Christopher Clark
I don't know who Duncan Trussel is but he plagiarized Jesus.
OP, read the gospels. There's good advice to be found in them, regardless of whether you believe in the supernatural.
Wyatt Bailey
What shouldnt I do to get there?
Jordan Peterson
Both whoever Duncan Trussel is and Jesus plagiarized the Buddha.

this is life my friend, most of the billions of humans who have lived on this planet are / were like you. peasants, serfs, lower class merchants, etc. we all age, we all are hurtling toward the final oblivion of death.
it's okay though. may i suggest buddhism to you, and exercise and no alcohol or other drugs.

i feel you bro.
i'm in a similar condition. I'm 28 years old, liberal arts degree, minimum wage work, live with mum, no gf, some savings but not enough to make it, i'm currently jobless and i've been attending job interviews but already btfo'ed from two and the others i haven't recived feedback yet.
I spent my youth doing useless shit (not even playing games or going out). my work skills are mediocre, my english sucks.
I feel i wasted my youth.
I know that if i start over again, it's going to take me some years and when i finish studying a new major, i'm going to be at least 32 with no experience in the field if i decide to study something diferent. It's really depressing. I know it's going to be extremely dificult to compete with dudes 10 years younger than me with a lot of experience already. But look man, if i don't at least try, my life is going to be even worst. I have one shot and i have to take it even if i know i won't have as much as success i could've had. But i'm going to die trying with al i got, with my life expecience, with my skills.
We all can make it, but we have to put effort, work and discipline into it.
Guys in your 20es and younger: DON'T WASTE TIME, STUDY EVERY DAy ALL DAY, KEEP IMPROVING YOUR SKILLS, BE BEST, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND BE BEST,
