Don't be like me guys. Put yourselves out there, get embarrassed, dust yourself off and move on. Life is too short to only harbor negativity.
I'm 29 man. Leave this site now, pick up a hobby and don't look back. I feel like I was 22 just last year.

I figured I was never going to be this age, might as well have some fun I know that's the woman mentality you all hate here, but at this point in life as long as your grades are solid you can pretty much do anything and talk your way out of trouble.

27 user here. Feel like i've done a bunch of these things: Lots of festivals, roadtrip, sex with random girl in toilet in france, coke etc. Only thing ive feel like ive really missed out on is a typical "american spring break" type party scenario. Doesnt have to be america, but in like OPs picture with the sun, paty-boat. foam, lots of drinks..but feel like im too old for that now, like i still get into some shit, just not in the same way where crazy things just seemed to happen by themselves before..
16 to like 24 is literally the best fucking time in life, do everything

This board is full of kids in their early 20s, obsessing over their teenage years and swearing up and down that they missed out on their youth because they didn't fuck any girls in high school. I'm 23 and I feel the same way sometimes. But I'm making it a point for my twenties to be a great fucking time. There's no use in living in the past. Every new decade, you'll be regretting all the time that you wasted the decade before. When the robots on this board hit their 30s, they'll hear their coworkers go on about the wild fucking time their twenties were, and they'll be left with the realization that they squandered their youth two times. That's when it REALLY sets in. Oh wow, you didn't fuck Stacy in the 11th grade? You had no teenage love? Wait until you realize you missed out on early 20s drunk sex and the freedom of early 20s love. You're pissed because you didn't go to any high school house parties? Wait until you realize that adult house parties and nightclubs were way cooler but you missed out.
In the past 4 years, I've done so much shit I'm embarrassed of but I wouldn't trade it for the world because I know when I'm old, I'd rather have the story of me sucking some stripper's nipples in a private booth than the memory of me sitting in my room avoiding discomfort.
You people are so delusional. You're fucking 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, so on and so on. Get out and fucking live life before it's socially unacceptable for you to make an ass of yourself. You don't even have to live a life of debauchery like I do, just live the life you want. Don't spend your youth in a bedroom like a fucking monk. You're no better than normies who suck dick at the bar every weekend. You may even be worse than them because at least they're having fun being disgusting. Get up, get out and get something.
nearing-22 year old here: I'm not even a virgin, I've gone out and embarrassed myself and surpassed my comfort zone, I've fucked 6 girls in total (none of whom worked out long-term), I kissed a thicc ass thin bellied latina in the back of a greyhound bus, and I've made myriad fucktarded mistakes to contemplate on.
Still no gf. It has been 2 years since I had sex.
I can proudly say I'm actively neither NEET or a virgin but I'm still bitter and lonely. I guess I'm just retarded, OP.
Mason Martinez
I'm 21, I've created as much of a social life as I possibly can but its a lot harder to "do everything" when you're poor. I go to community college and wage slave 8 hours a day to survive, I rarely have time to do anything social and the girls in my classes are all obese (I've still fucked a few of them)
Partying is a privilege, not everyone is born wealthy enough to fuck around in their 20s.
Why don't you get yourself a gf, fuckboy? If you can fuck 6 girls, you could easily find a gf. Just keep on doing what you've been doing and eventually one will want to stick around and you'll want her to stick around too. You're only 21, just keep on keeping on.
Brayden Butler
i'm only 18 and i don't even find those girls attractive. i've been jacking off to obscure huge tits fetish hentai and i don't even get excited looking at the girls in your pic, much less erect.
say i spend years improving myself and "put myself out there", and score a girl in your pic, whom i assume most would consider around a 7/10. I would feel no emotional attachment to her since she's a normalfaggot woman whom i most likely don't share any interest in, and her sexual charms do nothing for me. what's in it for me? why should i leave my room when i'm content where i am?
Ryan Cox
>Partying is a privilege, not everyone is born wealthy enough to fuck around in their 20s. >implying partying costs money What are you even saying? Poor people party more than anybody. Drive through a ghetto, a barrio or a trailer park/poor rural town on a Saturday night and see how many parties and bars you see jumping. These people are escaping reality and they do it way more often than rich people. I'm broke as fuck with $200 in my bank account but I'm going to a party Friday.

You're only 18, so you haven't experienced much and you don't know much about what life has to offer. I used to feel just like you. Soon, your lifestyle will become empty and you'll crave more. You'll start having suicidal thoughts because you're convinced that you've already done everything there is to do and there's no reason left to live.
Carson Barnes
go to one of those sex-themed hotels in the caribbean. You'll probably be on the younger end, but you'll also have less competition since older guys will be out of shape compared to you meaning you be +1 in the eyes of younger girls (and older if that's your thing). +2 of you're in basic shape.
I'd recommend going to Dominican Republic, just stay at the resort area.

I literally don't have the money or time to even go to a bar on the weekend. After tuition and living costs each week I have 0$ leftover and I spend the weekend sleeping all day to make up for only sleeping 5 hours a night during the week.

Daniel Edwards
let's assume i desire that which you entail and i missed out on, which is speculative. say i, a man entering his 20's in a year, stop ruminating on the past and go do all the faggot party shit you said. what makes you think i'll be any happier if i did that? after a while, that will become normal and i will desire even more lascivious decadent pleasures and will be abjectly depraved when i am forced to reenter society, just like if i were to have spent the time in my room, also pursuing hedonism. even then looking back on it, pleasures and memories exist only in the moment and are bounded temporally. perhaps it's only the impossibility of living the party life that allures so many on this board.
and you're forgetting there is a pleasure in wallowing in despair, albeit indirect and negative in nature. otherwise no one would come here
>imgur.com/a/p2ixo oh christ you're a brain-dead faggot if you want to do anything like this. just kill yourself retard. srsly i can't imagine being so pathetic that i regret not hanging out with people like this. >hurr thots are such good company i want my peepee in one while everyone watches no wonder this board is so shit with people like you around.
i regret not spending time with other weebs and dorks in high school. plenty of nice wholesome girls i could've gotten close to but instead just played video games in my room all day. at least i know i can blame it on mental illness at this point. trying to get a bit better these days.

Nigger you literally have never even seen a TFLer. Go on youtube right now and search for true forced loneliness and you will see what excruciating incel pain really looks like. Stop reading so called real stories here and actually look for these fucks on youtube.
Search for Kent, an angry manlet with zero chance. Baraka Mkray, a black guy with actual real autism and not meme autism who killed himself due to never having a chance. There is also Steve Hoca who has had to suffer for years before finally getting some nasty fat roast pussy his way. Yeah trying might work out to your favor eventually, or maybe not. But then there can be some serious grief coming your way if you just don't have what it takes to attract a female. If you assholes on here are still too lazy just watch this video of this sad old fuck who never got to have sex.
Before normies ruined Jow Forums and turned it into a cesspool that it is today robots used to be the same as someone who is TFL.

Ethan Morales
This.
But I genuinely don't care anymore, I'm a bitter person.
What you don't understand is that robots have little input to the direction of their lives. If you suffer from chronic emotional trauma it literally ruins your life. It manifests in some psychiatric disorder that is much more complex than our crude understanding of the brain. Pills are for light cases and even then work 3/4 times. Fast food type of psychotherapies can't change deep patterns.
Asher Peterson
I too had my 20s taken from me but I don't want any of the shit going on in that imgur link.
I just want some good friends and a gf, damn man. You know I might even be able to do without the gf as a 29 year old virgin if I just had some friends.
I'm very irritated that the name of your photo isnt "boats and hos"
Another opportunity missed OP.
Levi Miller
I'm 30. Not only did I waste my entire 20s in a social sense, I also did it in a career/educational sense. I got an engineering bachelors and ended up taking a shitty low-tier engineering job because it was the safe choice that let me stay at home. Now I have basically a dead end job with no real skills to show for it after 4 years here, and of course I haven't retained a lick of knowledge from my degree. Frankly even when I was still in college I never really put in any real effort. I got good grades because I was good at taking tests.
All those people who were having fun in their teens and 20s, having sex and meeting people and experiencing life and the world? They're also now with successful careers they can be proud of, with proper skills and titles and a well-earned place in society.
I'm basically just one big failure. I let my brain rot, I let my body decay, I let my psyche fester. I suppose theoretically I could still turn some things around since I'm "only" 30, but I won't because I'm broken and tired. Too many regrets, too much baggage.
I desperately want cancer.

This, but it's never too late. 29 is still really young. If you're getting hung up on not going to enough parties, dont. My most normie friend in high school told me after we graduated that he only went to a few, and they were super overrated.
Noah Gray
ignore this faggot, i tried and failed and i still hate myself just play video games and try to ignore it all
I can't imagine how retarded you'd have to be to find it entertaining to hang out with huge groups of unfunny people who laugh at every drunk word coming out of their mouths. If you're a robot there have been plenty of times you've been in their midst and wanted to neck yourself. The bitterness doesn't come from not being able to participate; it comes from not being able to FIND IT FUN. It's like the meme pic of the introverted kid at the party, wishing he were home playing video games. If it's not in your blood it's not in your blood.
I wish I could find that shit as good as people say it is. But I can't, and that's a very isolating feeling; it makes you think there's nothing in life that lives up to the hype. (There isn't, with the exception maybe of cuddling and making out. Even sex is overrated.)
Ayden Long

life is far more predetermined than the powers that be let on, if you ever find yourself in a position like that don't beat yourself up too much over it, it is/was your destiny. free will is a meme. the same way the chad live a fun and interesting life through no fault of his own, you do live an uneventful one cooped up in your home. it's all genetics.
Thank you so much user, it's actually time to start living
I'm going to go buy a car (rich for my age, quarter mil net worth, but too scared to talk to car salesman so I don't own one yet) and I'm going to go travel and do cool things. I'll go to cities far away and go to clubs to get used to it since NOBODY there will ever know me because I'm not even in my native town. I'll try to live life
Someone please help me buy a car I don't know how and I'm scared of buying one that ends up being shit, I want a used one

you are not a robot then, you are a failed normie. There is nothing wrong with living the life you want to live. Most autistic people for example genuinely despise crowds and would feel extremely uncomfortable in the setting like that picture. If you want to be social, then be social, if you don't want to, then don't. Jesus, how is this even an issue.
Brayden Bell
I do not enjoy that kind of stuff. I have no issue with going outside of my comfort zone, and I am working hard to realize my dreams, but I simply do not care about party life, socializing to such extents, having fun, etc. I am very happy with where I am atm.
Oliver Thomas
Yo fuck you guys trying to trigger me and shit with this thread.
I'm 28. I wasted my early 20s doing dick all. But check it out, OP is right. Like there's a point where you just say "fuck it". For some of you little bastards that's right now and you can still save your early 20s or whatever I was too busy fapping to porn and being a reclusive weirdo at that age.
But at 24, I said "what the fuck nigger?" And went got a comfy ass pizza delivery job. Started making hella tips just living at home. Lost my virginity a week before turning 24 to this blonde milf prostitute for $300. Shit was dope. My first blowjob and she jerked me off all over her tits at the end (I popped a Viagra before because of my deathgrip bullshit).
Then my confidence went up, started fucking hookers left and right. One time this hooker fucked me and another client knocked on her door. She made me sneak out the other room. This one gave me a hickie I was fucking her so hard.
Anyways, I ended up becoming a normie with a normie job and a couple girlfriends.
It's all about living. You gotta fail and just fuck it. That's the society we are forced into.
I still fucking hate my life though don't get me wrong.
Owen Adams
>brah dude you gotta become a boring degenerate, and then you become a normie, it is great
Yeah, I am with this guy. There was a time when I wanted to try the partying and social scene, but after I actually tried it out I realized that it fucking sucks ass and I would rather live like I did. It was the same thing when I lost my virginity. Prior to that point I thought sex was the answer to life and the best thing ever, but when I actually had sex I realized that it was kinda disappointing. Sure it felt good, but really only slightly better than masturbation. And having to jump through hoops to seduce some chick and deal with all her shit honestly isn't worth it. And I would rather save my cash than pay hookers. Celibacy is fine, but I had to experience sex to realize that.
Christopher Nguyen
Albums like this make me feel empty inside. Whenever I walk down the street and see a pretty girl, part of me is thinking: she probably did shit like that since girls just wanna have fun and all that. Yet I'm here as a 28yo kv because I have no idea what to do with women when it comes to romance.
Blake Nelson
It's actually not that bad if you don't fuck up too hard, bro.

Im turboaustist but look decent so often times normies would just assume I got weird sense of humor and still get invited to parties or drinking I'd force myself to go and try to enjoy it But truth is I never did, it was not that bad at best Robots are not meant for this kind of shit Inb4 hurr durr sour grapes
Robert Nelson
32 yo here. Been using Jow Forums since 2003. My biggest piece of life advice is this, do not waste your 20s, it is literally the best time of your life, people are loose, people are waaaaaaay more laid back, you have far more stamina and energy and far less stress in general. The 20s are the best time of your life, get out and meet new people, experience new things, if you're still hanging around your highschool friends and they're nerdy losers like you honestly ditch them for a bit and try find a new friendship group, just take up a hobby that is actually sociable like... dancing or music or improv or something and just meet new people. Also get a fucking open mind. This reactionary bent Jow Forums has taken since 2013 is so fucking depressing because the last thing NEETs need to be is socially fucking conservative elitists complaining about "degenerates" it puts you wildly out of pace with the rest of your age group and sends you even further into a black hole of isolation.
Here is the thing, once you get to around 28 years old, your body starts to slow down and everyone around you generally starts to become far more career and family focused. When you hit 30 literally hanging out with friends will all just be people talking about finances, family and work, it becomes depressing fucking fast, especially when you're just spinning your wheels not really going anywhere.
Also some basic fucking life advice, just try to improve yourself in looks, go on /fa/ and try to dress better, look up your type of hair on Reddit hair subs (Jow Forumscurlyhair) for example and follow their guides, get regular and good haircuts, if you have acne, buy Benzyol Peroxide from Acne.org ffs, it destroy's acne in about 6 weeks I had bad cystic acne for a decade before I treated it, my confidence went up 100% once I did. Here is the thing, even a 3/10 guy can make themselves at least a 6/10 with decent styling.
>dating in early mid 20s >Go to bar/club, get hit on, fuck, have hookups for a while with them, see if it works out, if it doesn't no biggie.
>Dating in 30s >"Soooo what position do you work at your work? Is that $100,000+? No? Oh... I have to go to the bathroom. *never shows up again* (literally had this multiple times to me, thing is I'm crypto "rich" so I don't have to be a wagie for at least another 5 years at my rate of spending, but I don't tell this to girls I keep my money quite secret)
Seriously you don't want to waste your 20s. For the love of god, do not, shit goes downhill FAST once you hit your thirties.
Partying isn't expensive at all, it can be as cheap as $15-$30 a night if you can just get decent quality MDMA or LSD or Shrooms. You're not going to go to a party every week, more like once or twice a month, so it's like what $30-$60 a month if you know how to scab alcohol and just do cheaper better drugs instead?
Also the way to get in with great houseparties, raves, free parties. Look up local PSYTRANCE events/nights on facebook. Go to these events and here is the thing about hippies, they're high as fuck on MDMA at these events, they want to talk to everyone and it's very easy to network at these sort of parties. From them, all you need to do is get once person with dreadlocks added on your facebook and you basically will have a way of finding out where every rave, awesome house party, free party, doof etc is in your region.

Incels have no fucking excuse unless they're still in their 20s. If I can get friends and get laid and have close female friends which I do now, anyone can. The thing with Incels is that they want to fail. They're terrified of even trying, they're terrified of rejection, so they just want to believe there is nothing possible for them. I've been on Jow Forumsincel many times. 95% of the guys there are literal 4-8/10s the only reason they're not getting laid is because of the tar pit of an ideology they've created for themselves.

I didn't initially talk to strangers. I would just go to the parties, go into my own little world and dance the entire night.

Every single time. Contrapoints was right, you can save someone before they become an incel, but once they've committed it's basically impossible to pull them out of it.
