30+ Thread - In a real dark night of the soul, it is always three o'clock in the morning, day after day. (Edition)
You know, I've always heard this line put out on Jow Forums (when Jow Forums was a little saner before it got overrun): "you need to love yourself before anyone can love you" but I never quite grasped what it meant since I've seen people together or in love with people who clearly have low self-esteem.
oh yeah it's almost 4 huh >go to bed and maybe wake up late for another day at mr zuzberg's office >stay up and feel like total shit >call in sick because I truly don't give a fuck hmm
How do you build a life at 30? I'm becoming 30 this year and I am a NEET Hikki right now and for most of my twenties. It's not completely my fault it was due to getting schizophrenia and being a crazy lunatic around that time confined to home or therapy. I am medicated now and my mind is mostly sound so no more following voices out to the street at 3am.
The problem is I have no career or experience. Most of my employment was predictably erratic and I have huge gaps in my resume. I have a college degree in business but that was long ago and hasn't really helped me much.
What are your options for starting a new life? I have enough money to do schooling again but I don't know how useful that would be or what specialty to go in. I just want something with assured employment and free from normie prejudice and politics. Business has way too much of the NPCs only helping other NPCs. Medicine? Finance? Tech maybe?
>I have huge gaps in my resume Lie Lie Lie to employers, most of them don't check shit anyway, take what jobs you actually did have and fluff out how much time you spent there to fill in the gaps. I've been doing this for years and nobody has called me on it and if they did I wil just tell them to fuck off and find something else and try it again.

>Business has way too much of the NPCs only helping other NPCs Please God, if you're 30 please don't perpetuate bullshit ass (recycled) memes that normies are making cos they discovered gaming.

Welp, another week of double shifts at UPS. THIS MORNING I MADE THE CALL THE ONE THAT ENDS IT ALL WAKING UP I WANTED TO CRY BUT DAMMIT THIS WELL'S GONE DRY

>tfw a literal schizophrenic guy has a college degree and you dropped out 3 times I don't get this site anymore lol
Jordan Lee
>I don't get this site anymore lol In the past I'm pretty sure most anons had a degree. I mean, how hard is to just pass?
Blake Young
>I mean, how hard is to just pass? You're asking how hard is it to navigate college for maladaptive robots? Thanks for reinforcing my point. It seems like this board is nothing more than a place for normies to post porn these days.
Sebastian Brown
Pretty hard I dropped out of community college twice for being a brainlet I guess, was also doing alot of oxy back then too so I didnt give a fuck about class. Not showing up to class too especially the ones where I had to give a presentation or some other bullshit. Don't think I could go back I think I have become even more stupid since then.
Ryder Robinson
>Thanks for reinforcing my point. We're fucking (the last of the) nerds, it's in our dna to pass uni. How can you be this stupid?
Levi Russell
It was impossible during my 20's thanks to my crippling anxiety. I'd fall out during final exams.
I got my anxiety under control in my 30's now, but my gpa is unrecoverable.
Dominic Robinson
Holy fuck you're dumb. Robots don't fail uni because they aren't intelligent enough to pass, they fail because they can't tolerate the social demands and pressures of it.
Alexander Torres
>social demands and pressures of it.
>just show up to class >not even that just show up for exams and turning it projects
???

If you belonged here you'd know what I was talking about.

Shut up zoomer. Fucking idiot faggot. >social pressures of uni Uni is the least social pressured environment cos most social interaction is optional.
Jackson Martinez
>NPC detected I would say stop using forced memes but like does it even matter anymore?
Noah Hernandez
How can you not pass uni these days? Legitimate downies and other retards are being spewed out with degrees left, right and centre. Its piss easy to pass your undergrad.
I didn't have a mental illness or anything. I just travelled a lot because I figured seeing the world while your physically capable of enjoying it when your young is better than doing hyper expensive guided tours when your in your 60s.
So I was hitting 31 by the time I got back to civilisation. Even worse than you I have a degree and masters in History which is practically unemployable. So I just lied and said I worked in interesting but unverifiable jobs while travelling. Landed a pretty sweet job in finance where I spend maybe 40% of day shitposting. Earn more than most of my friends who committed to careers and education too. Its possible man, but you really really have to believe the lies you are telling. Work it out like a script, learn it and play that character until you move on to another job in a different company. Also does help if you can buy a phone with a sim from a different country ( one of the ones you "lived" in) and give that as one of your references. Try make sure it in an awkward timezone.

>So I just lied and said I worked in interesting but unverifiable jobs while travelling. I guess you need a silver tongue but props for pulling it off.
Aaron Watson
No it doesn't. As you can see from the progress of this thread, the board has been entirely overrun by normie scum. >hurrr how can you possibly not pass uni just join a frat and get the answer sheets breeeh haha lmao
Oliver Collins
>How do I start building a life at 30? >hurr just read my boring biography about how I fucking made it man it's totally possible bro just be urself lmao
Jonathan Walker
Is this a post-modern troll or something?
Trolls these days are getting more bizarre.

>no social demands >group projects >asking for help though admittedly in 2018 its easy enough to get help online. i went to university 10 years ago and good fucking luck figuring out second order differential equations or some shit if you intend to seek out help online for it
>meeting assignment and project deadlines >robots
Illiterate fuck You're intended to read that as >can't tolerate the social demands of university, and the pressures of university
James Barnes
technically... if he's telling you about how he did it, then obviously it's totally possible
Jose Perez
You sound like you did this in the 80s where the jordan peterson crap could still fly
Levi Martinez
>i went to university 10 years ago and good fucking luck figuring out second order differential equations or some shit if you intend to seek out help online for it
I went to uni a decade ago as well, and that's when wikipedia was actually useful to studying because at that point there wasn't a race to make each article as obfuscated as possible to the layman so that they could show off their smarts.
>no social demands >group projects What "robot" degree did you pick that required group projects? I did fucking maths you cocksucking zoomer, and there were no group projects in all of the 3 years of the degree.
Jose Sanchez
31 year old boomer here I'm an absolute failure of a human being

>calls me a zoomer >because he found something i wrote personally disagreeable Are you sure you're not 21, you fucking queer? Ever heard of electives? Know how I know you're underage?
Jeremiah Harris
Could be that but I like to consider it acting the part. Everyone does it to some degree to get on in life.
Hardly a biography. Although if you consider that short paragraph a biography its pretty clear why you kept dropping out of uni. I was just giving user an idea of how someone else did but highlighted the differences in our situation in case it wasn't for him.
Someone asks for help or input with a problem. Someone responds with suggestions or advice. You are sperging out because you are the worst kind of person, you want everyone to stay at your shit tier level and never make their lives better and eventually grow away from this place. Misery loves company as they say.
Brayden Nguyen
>zoomer tries to rented that he's older than he really is. You're just writing bullshit right now. Different anons have called you out on your shit.
>Know how I know you're underage? Please tell me zoomer fag.
Today at work I've heard a story about a guy who decided to move to Thailand, found himself a young wife and has kids now in his 60s. Men aren't as limited as age as women are; besides the fun part of having kids starts at kindergarten age and ends with puberty, and in college they just fuck off far away from you while possibly still leeching off you to pay their loans. You wouldn't miss anything good.
Matthew Jenkins
>Today at work I've heard a story about a guy who decided to move to Thailand, found himself a young wife and has kids now in his 60s. I realise I'm on Jow Forums, nu-Jow Forums, but fuck being an old dad and being married to someone who is decades younger than you.
I must be the only user who wants someone their own age.
Jonathan Martinez
>So I just lied and said I worked in interesting but unverifiable jobs while travelling. Landed a pretty sweet job in finance where I spend maybe 40% of day shitposting.
What if I want to fix my shit but also don't want to be a lying and dishonest asshole?
Bentley Garcia
A lot of men in that situation die an early death caused by the Flying Farang Syndrome.
Ryan Diaz
>they fail because they can't tolerate the social demands and pressures of it. You don't even have to attend classes these days just watch the lectures online and do the assignments. I'm really stupid AND I lack discipline AND motivation AND I don't have a social circle to help and I'm almost graduated. You can do it dude.
Eli Jones
that's pretty gross uokjiui
Chase Rodriguez
>You can do it dude. I think you're about 10 years too late if he's not a zoomer.

Landon Foster
It's unfair towards the child. Plain and simple.
Sure, it's well known that 5% of all children get molested by a relative, but that shouldn't be the bar for childrearing, i.e. leaving your child with your Thai trophy wife alone.
Jordan Jackson
This generation doesn't find value in people in it ow generation, we know how shit each other is. Youth comes with new ideas and flexibility, also guaranteed non retarded children.
Liam Richardson
Then you should kill yourself now because morality is a god damn fantasy powerful people have been telling poor people to keep them from being savages. Truth is you have little chance at "honest" work unless you have skill everyone needs.
Jeremiah Nguyen
How many of you guys are still trying to find a gf/wife? If you're really desperate, would you settle for a women who has a kid(s)?
Nope. I have a wife now but I did at one time try date a single mother. I wouldn't mind have minded so much if her ex wasn't always around to be with his kid but yeah it was very off putting.
Nathan Cox
hey fella I'm in a similar situation
try to get into contact with a social worker who will set you up with programs that are geared towards employing the mentally ill. that is what I would do if I absolutely needed a job of some sort (but I won't because I don't need to work for the foreseeable future).
Jason Allen
Girlfriend roleplay ASMRs before bed were a bad idea. Listening to one about suicide awareness tonight, it's the only thing I've been looking forward to all day.
Wow. That's actually a non-REEEE way of putting it.
Still, I want someone with 4 years of age difference.
Colton Nguyen
You need to remind yourself of two things: (i) The kid is more important than you (ii) her ex will be around. I believe it can work, but single mothers usually look for single dads and vice versa.
Brandon Campbell
Is that a real picture? That's pretty cool.
Levi Cox
>try to get into contact with a social worker who will set you up with programs that are geared towards employing the mentally ill. Sounds like that would mark you for life (or whatever life is remaining.)

My aunt and uncle had my cousins in their 40s, and early 50s, respectively. It's gonna suck when they're older and their kids will have to perform caretaking duties in their 20s.
Parker Thomas
showing up to class and turning in projects is legitimately hard for robots who are in too deep. especially because that shit piles up on you in uni after even a couple missed classes. Some get over it and realize how easy it is in reality and that their mental issues were bullshitting it. I recommend that or dropping out.
Lucas Powell
how do you get over resentment of the people on this board who are half your age?
Leo Gonzalez
It's sort of impossible because I'm almost sure that for 95% of anons now it's just a phase.
Carson Perry
I turned 30 this year. When I was 20 I didn't believe I would live to be even 25. Yet here I am, as you will be.
