What the fuck is wrong with you zoomers? I wish I could go back in time and have my 20s again and actually try to change myself, now I'm stuck doing it in my 30s and while things are slowly changing, i'm in my fucking 30s and everyone expects me to already be established and my career prospects are basically fucking nil. The only person holding you back is yourself. I lost my 20s to anxiety and this toxic shithole, you shouldn't as well.

Also 30+ thread.

good luck to you brotha. soon enough youll be seeing 40+ threads on here, dont be one of those guys

thanks for the motivation to turn shit around i guess

36 here, unemployed for 12 months now after ignoring all my clients and having a bit of a breakdown. applied for a job for the first time 10th december, fuckers didn't even reply to me. previously worked for myself. totally agreement fuck all these stupid whiney 20 year olds having a pity party.

sitting in my hotel room in Japan. literally have no desire to go outside or do anything. can't be assed to even go get food, traveling alone was a mistake.

Try trade schools. Some governments fund a few

I'm reaching a point where its difficult to even look forward to something.
Am I supposed to give a fuck about movies? Should I "get hyped" for the sixth remake of Spiderman?
Are good games coming out anymore? Cyberpunk 2077 might be released this year. What else? Shit mobile games? More seasons of fucking Fortnite? A visual update to WC3, boy oh boy, can't wait to play that game I played for 1000 hours fifteen years ago.

All I see in my future is constant work accompanied by the gradual deterioration of my physical body.
If I live too long I can see my own death. Completely alone in some shithole nursing care where they push you naked on a wheelchair into a room with a drain and spray the shit and piss off of you with a hose.
Will I even remember my pointless life?
Will the universe spare me my final torture and let my brain fade before my body so I don't even know where I am?

The past year I've really fucking noticed how shit my health has become, I've just started to eat better and start working out, also planning on doing dancing lessons in Feb to keep my health up and meet new people.
It's been a real fucking wake up call noticing I can't do half the shit I could physically do 10 years ago.

It's funny, cos looking at the board now (and several boards beyond just /cgl/) there seems to be an influx of female posters who are just as retarded and inexperienced as their male equivalents. Like there's your chance you idiot zoomers.

>there seems to be an influx of female posters
what seems and what is aren't always the same.
yes there are more, simply because thats how statistics work usually, but i'd bet that it's not so much that all these naive grils are here now but that all these naive boys are here now, thirsty for a hook to bite.

>but i'd bet that it's not so much that all these naive grils are here now but that all these naive boys are here now, thirsty for a hook to bite.
I'm not sure I follow.

1. dumb and naive zoomers enter, some female, some male
2. many of the males have thirst for tfwgf
3. other anons have larger pool of fish to bait with "femanon" posts now

Possibly. I don't know. I mean, it feels like there's a lot more female posters (of zoomer age) outside of the usual boards since like 2012.

yeah there is, but how many of them do you think are legitimate? 100%? i'd lean more on like, 60%, but thats me.

Even if is that, that's much higher odds than before (2012-2018) where it was 5% or something lower.

I fucking hate this.
I've had a steady job myself now for a while but when i was a teenager i got ignored by companies a few times after sending letters. One time i even called them to ask about my application and they told me a bit annoyed "we will let you know" and then continued to never respond.
As an adult i never did business with them. I wonder if those companies owners know how they treat people

how, is it from my black skin and vagene? smdh

Think you have to do more than apply for one company bro.

>i cant shake the feeling that its too late
Problem is that even with a crappy life expectancy you have at least 20 years of life left.

Satan, you're wrong. Nobody would ever feel respect towards you, those who came out successful in his thirties have been accumulating positive habits and knowledge for decades. Then, suddenly, someone who's been slacking off due to mental illness, tough conditions, whatsoever, miraculously do the same within a narrow time frame?

>miraculously do the same within a narrow time frame?
Regardless, you have to try right? Like if you do not kill yourself there's at least 20 years of misery lying right ahead of you, right?

31, never had stable employment in my entire life, mostly because I am too addicted to the comfort of inactivity to commit to the serious work that would be needed to do anything to actually improve my life.

I wasted the entirety of my 20's shitposting here and being too anxious to do anything to better my situation. Honestly, I won't be surprised if I do the same thing with my 30's.

My parents are now in their early 60's and getting to point that I'm starting to have to physically look after them. At some point that will escalate to needing to financially support them, too, at which point I might as well just end it because I'm not even close to financially supporting myself, let alone them.

I look into my future and I see serious fucking problems on the horizon, but honestly, I just can't be bothered to fix any of them. I don't really see the point, if I'm perfectly honest. Even if I worked like a dog and suffered the misery of the grind for the next 10, 15, 20 or more years, what the fuck would that actually get me?

Nothing I want.

I suspect I'll just continue shitposting and playing videogames like an eternal teenager until the money runs out and then I'll find some way to end it all.

Come on man, you're 30+, you've been here long enough to know that doesn't work and what bait is.

That's kind of how I'm looking at it. Basically just sitting here, waiting for the ride to end, not really caring where it goes.

Kind of feels like I died at 18 and I've spent all of the years since then waiting for my body to realize it and stop moving.

Good for you, user. Hope you stick with it. I'm 34 and things will just randomly start to hurt these days, like my knee or my back or something. I'm not obese but I could stand to lose 15-20 pounds. I hope I can get it together before I do any real damage.

29 year old boomer here (turn 30 next month)
I have a decent career and I absolutely hate for the most part. I have severe anxiety issues and being an opioid addict for the the last decade hasn't helped that. 10 years ago when I started using pain killers it wasn't nearly as severe as it is now. I had no job from ages 19 - 23 and I also didn't have the connections to them like into now. I had one connect then that I picked up from once a month and only bought 10-15 pills for the month, I mostly just smoked weed when I could get it. I just sat in my room alot watching YouTube, movies, playing COD and old ps1 games on my ps3 high as fuck. I didn't have the anxiety like I do now, no responsibilities. Had a shitty 90s corolla that was paid off and my mom would give me has money to meet with my friend. The rest of the time I just walked everywhere. Once I got my first full time job at 23, that's when my addiction truly started. I was snorting oxys in the bathroom at work, but God damn was I a great worker and they loved me. I eventually got laid off and from there job hopped until my ex gfs mom got me a job in the school district which I'm making almost 2 and a half times what I was making at my first job, so of course I eventually found more connects through friends eventually and pissed away the 10 grand I had saved up plus more. I've probably spent 16 grand on drugs in the last years and a half. I just want to go back, back to when I was just out of high school and I felt like I had all the time in the world smoking weed and playing video games and occasionally chilling with a few friends once or twice a week. No responsibilities.

I played with the lightgun that had the d-pad on the back.

Sounds like quite a life. Last 9 years for me have been working a dead end job and sitting playing videogames.

Paying for BJs is legal in Japan.

Hey, I have no idea how desperate this guy is lol. Paying $40 for a bloj beats sitting around your hotel alone (or any of those maid cafes)

>(or any of those maid cafes)
That's an idea, at least a unique experience.

Motherfucker can go sightseeing at least.

i'd rather get a 1/4 oz if im spending $40. you can get a motorcycle and a dog for YEARS for the price it takes to go to japan ONCE. if youre having a midlife crisis at least do it right, dumbass!

if i was ever neeting i was happy to study and go down the rabbit hole of music. if i was ever waging i was happy to steal food and ride my single speed around. i did spend a lot of time jacking off but i dont even regret that either. now if you'll excuse me, i have to go be retired with my black gf

I sure love living in a post industrial northern UK town that's been in social and economic collapse for the last 30 years.

Come down to London, I have no friends and I am old.

Try to slow down your oxy intake and when it's low enough, take some shrooms or LSD and do some serious fucking introspection. Back when they used to use Shroom and LSD to treat addiction in the 60s and 70s, they found it had a 50% success rate after one session to break addiction.

I pissed away my teens and 20s and of course I wish I could do things differently but looking back it's hard to see how things could have been any different.
I had to overcome so fucking much. If life was a race then all my peers started at the start line and I was 400 meters back. I had to overcome autism, severe social anxiety, sexual trauma, alcoholism and drug use, self-medication, a fucked up family situation, living in the middle of no where. Everything was against me and I'm still here and still trying.
In a perfect world I would have solved all my problems instantaneously and would have used those years being more productive, but that just was never realistic.

This is a similar situation I'm in, stuck in a dead end place with nobody my age so I legit can't socialise with people IRL making me a depressed social retard. Also haven't worked in several years, living off cryptogains at my parents I was luckily able too pull out just before the crash.
The only advice I can give, and it's the one i'm trying to carry out myself, is try just get any fucking job and move the fuck out. I would recommend using friends and family to just make up work you've been doing for the past few years and using them as references. If you know anything about computers, you know more than 90% of IT support staff so try look for IT support and such jobs.
The "hack" I've been told by NEET friends who have really pulled themselves up into serious money in the past few years is and turned around their lives is go for a job that can secure you a Government security clearance, so IT support for the Government or something like that, as soon as you get that security clearance, you basically become a Chad of the employment world.

Oh yeah being tech literate and knowing how to type well is probably the only thing I'm actually good at. Thing is employers don't really count "sitting at your computer for 16 hours a day playing video games" as quantifiable IT experience even though I can build computers no problem.

Can't fucking deal with talking on the phone though and IT support would make me blow my brains out cause it's just gonna be a glorified call centre job.

It only gets worse from here on out. I dread every day.

Technically you're an elder zoomer.

Guys, don't worry, because none of this matters.
The reason? Climate change.

How? Combination of effects
Rising sea level = costal cities becoming flooded. Not just the literal image of waves washing over roads and buildings, but the water also surges backwards up into the water infrastructure of cities. It'll be too much to handle and destroy their water distribution systems
Rising sea level also means salt water flowing back up rivers, killing all freshwater marine and plant life in the water and on the shores. This will also effect any agriculture/farming that is within several miles of river outlets
Coastal people will move inland, towards farmlands

Higher average temps = less snowpack to turn into freshwater runoff which makes every river we know. This is happening everywhere globally already, the effects are simultaneous. This is also what is leading to stronger storms, as now more moisture is in the air than ice/snow

Seasons and temperatures in greater flux = fucked up Agriculture
Plants are incredibly sensitive to temperature, air content (C02 in the air effecting pollination), and the duration of certain temperatures. To be specific: plants require gradual season transitions to trigger their biological mechanisms to do things like sprout, grow, and flower. If these get too out of whack you could literally have a season of farming where the plants just don't sprout, or maybe the sprout, but then they never produce food

And all of these will be compounded by the spike in demand for freshwater from displaced people, and agriculture, while simultaneously having less and less fresh water

Best thing you could do for right now is get a McJob, save what you can, save up to buy an Atmospheric Water Generator (extracts moisture from the air), learn how to grow plants for food, and learn some fundamental basic medicine (like penicillin)
But for the most part we can all kiss our asses goodbye

Just remember though: kids born 1985-90 got to experience peak humanity

Incel Zoomers are literally what we were a decade ago only they think they're a persecuted minority or something and that what's happening to them has never happened before to anyone. It's fucking stupid. If you're in your teens or early twenties there's still hope, and even in the 25-30 danger zone if you have enough drive and will you can turn your life around. But once you hit 30+ you're pretty much fucked and locked-in to whatever state you're in for the rest of your life.

People who still have a chance to be normal whining instead of doing something makes me sick. And when it comes to sex, I managed to have it once with a prostitute last summer. It was overpriced, short and underwhelming and not something I'll do again. To be honest, staying a virgin is probably much better than lowering yourself to that.

This is where you have to make shit up in your resume, get friends and family to pretend to be other jobs and clients, say you've been freelancing doing your own business over the past few years, say you've been "day trading" over the past few years and if they inquire just say "ah yes every day I spent trading my assets and was doing well enough to live off it but it becomes a bit isolating and I felt I wanted to work in a team again and to be honest the market going into the red just further pushes my resolve to build a new career path and work in a team based environment"

>Can't fucking deal with talking on the phone though and IT support would make me blow my brains out cause it's just gonna be a glorified call centre job.

It's legitimately one of the worst fucking jobs, the only reason you do it is to get them to sponsor you for security clearance (They'll do it within 6 months if you're linked to any company doing Government work) and then you bail to cushy lazy Government department and never, ever leave. This is the exact path all my NEET loser nerd friends used to escape one or two years ago.

>kids born 1985-90 got to experience peak humanity

now on r9k i see faggots whine cause they are bullied and never had a gf. FUCK YOU ! you have to at least try before you give up.

All those are fine points, but the world is going to continue to limp on for a good long while.

>Doesn't matter it's all fucked lol

Is a semi-comforting thought-- but still divorced from your need to find fulfillment and self-actualization.

Fuck man, is there no physio or anything you can do? How crazy you lost the case, you were acting in self defence.

>Got ghosted by only girl Ive ever been close to (orbited but still)

Been seeing and talking to a girl for the past few weeks, she's absolutely wonderful, unlike most here I fuck around a bit and this is the first girl I feel like I really had a connection too and she would message me first every single day and ask to meet up and shit and we would, we even made plans to go see a play this weekend, I even bought the tickets for us.
Got ghosted almost immediately after making those plans. It fucking sucks, I generally don't care if a girl doesn't call back or whatever, but fuck this one really does sting. Ghosting is so fucking rude holy shit. I mean, yeah okay you go on one date and it doesn't go well and you both mutually decide to not message eachother sure, but this? It's just fucking rude.

>but the world is going to continue to limp on for a good long while

Nope.
It will get warm enough in the next 15-20 years for the permafrost in Russia, which contains literal billions of tons of methane, to melt.
In addition to the existing threats, there is also a possibility we will release so much methane into the atmosphere that air globally becomes unbreathable.

And it honestly doesn't take much, I mean our body processes 02, but N2 plays a heavy role as a sort of carrier for the process.
If that gets imbalanced significantly, and there's more than enough methane to do so, all of planet earth plants and animals included will asphyxiate to death, and it life will recede back to the age of fungus and bacteria.

But ya regardless, a lot of that shit is well beyond my control.
I should just focus on small lifestyle changes to contribute less to the tragedy of the commons, and try to improve myself and my job prospects.
It's just depressing though to know that everything all of us are doing will be for nothing.

I mean I already had that sense to stave off when thinking about my personal death.
But we're talking about the death of all evolved life on earth here.
The end of music, the end of art, the end of movies, the end of video games, the end of sex and porn, the end of food, the end of comfiness, the end of history.
It's daunting.

i do physical thearpy twice a week and am scheculed to attend pain managment next week. it doesnt fix the problem but helps lower my pain levels. i tried to lie about my injury and join the the army but i realized when i had to pop pain pills to make it through the asvab i was deluding myself. ( still got and 85 though)

i went through a really eough period of grief and was in a pai n induced haze for 3 months. now im just kind of catatonic trying to ease my suffering as much as possible while i wait for my probation to be over so i can buy a shotgun.

i went from a 6ft 1 215 pound fitizen with a 485 deadlift to a 190lb soft bag of bones. who cant tie myshoes somedays

i can feel death grasping me and im okay with it

It really hurts, even worse is they don't tell you a reason why. I don't expect to be lucky with women in the coming years. If I wasn't able to even go on a date, let alone have a gf in my teens or early 20s, I doubt I'll be able to in next few years. I know it never gets better. To me it's incredibly foreign how some people are able to be so close to one another, date, etc. It's like watching a foreign film.
