25 year old here

I'm a 26yo boomer trying to unlock the secret technique of old age: not giving a fuck about what other people think

it's getting to the point where i skip workouts because i feel weak and think people will notice i dropped some weight of my lifts. Worst part is that I KNOW no one gives a shit, but still i get self concious and do it. I need fucking medical help

I'm a 26 khv. I don't even want to be outside or meet new people because of this.

I relate user. There used to be a point in my life where I would only buy stuff online because I was panicking about sperging out when talking to the cashier.
My little piece of advice is do smaller things that scare you, and build from there.

In my case, I started by doing shopping in stores that were mostly empty (to not waste anyone's time if I sperged), and then forcing myself to ask for directions (I still remember the nauseating dread of this).

I still cannot everything that normal people can, but I'm always improving upon myself.

25-34 isn't old imo

You missed a question mark on your horizontal sentence.

Get over it. Wont ever drop that status without doing the opposite of what you've been doing for all this time.

25 year old. Started lifting again 9 months ago. I got to 1 plate OHP for reps after seven months and a 2 plate bench and three plate squat after 8 months. My progress is insane compared to my first time around, lifting as a skinny 18 year old. Got a gf and a job I like teaching little kiddos. After most of my teenage years and the first part of my early 20s being a hellpit of depression, I'm finally pretty happy.

need to hit the gym more
ok job
got a home bur finances are tight
married 2 years
daughter on the way

Life comes at you quick

You can't understand shame and humilation. I'm fucking terrified of sex from my childhood abuse also.

I have been doing exercise everyday for at least 30min. I have noticed a little muscle forming but nothing impressive and I still have stomach fat that makes me looked boxed. Been wearing a stretcher and truthfully it is making a difference. Went from a nub to a stub and hoping to get a longer brace to get a stud.

Might have to move in with a rich grandma as dad is not capable of being financially stable and keeps taking half my paycheck every week.

I just want progress.

G1.

then I guess you have all the excuses in the world
guess you should just kill yourself then
seriously, fuck you. all we did was tell you to do anything and you replied "but I don't want to go outside because I have a very common circumstance that I'm going to let be my excuse for never improving"

You will never be better than you are right now.
Your body will always be slowly dying.
You will never improve.

>not dildo faggins

Like I said, you're just bored

fuck him too for not making any videos lately

Grandfather got sick and passed on new years day. I ballooned up to 200 lbs at 5'6 from 160. Its hard to get back in the Jow Forums lifestyle. i feel like i lost a part of myself with him.

Had my first relationship at 25. It ended after 4 months. It crushed me when she broke up with me and I was pretty busted for a good 4 months. I thought I'd learned enough to pick myself up but 7 months later and I still feel afraid to approach women and overall incompetent with them. Anyone else deal with a similar situation and how did you pick yourself up again?

Quit job and moved back in with parents after living independently in a different country for 7 years. Still lifting. no friends. weak prospects. at least im not drinking or doing drugs. And i love my parents

Why did she break up with you?

Is 25 too old to join the Air Force? Thinking about joining next year. I have no real career prospects otherwise.

If your anxiety is causing worse quality of life you actually should seek help, make sure you are already doing things like getting regular exercise, sleep, grooming yourself, and eating healthy because those alone will make such a huge difference if you can do it consistently for even just a week

26, almost 27
In an on-again off-again relationship with a girl that I like but not enough to marry or have children with
career pays well but I can't find any meaning in it, just programming ways to accomplish more work with less people and killing jobs for the good of a corporation
current goal is to develop a mobile game that convinces kids to dump their parents' bank account balances into mine, propelling me into the promised land of passive income and escape from wagie life
still in a long-running war with feelings of meaningless, the eternal "what now?"
never been good at making decisions, life made most of my decisions for me
lifting provides one of my few sources of fulfillment: being ripped and aesthetic
had to switch to Planet Fatness so lost the use of a squat rack, trying to progress my lifts while also getting creative with equipment use
thinking about withdrawing all my retirement account money because honestly I can't see myself wanting to live to age 65

Got submitted twice by a 110 pound 5'6" girl at BJJ a few days ago. Highly reccomend to degens like you.

24yo, lifting for only a short amount of time. I think I may be DYEL soon. For reference, started at 85 max bench now 150. Can do 4 pullups (first time ever doing a pull up 2weeks ago), 100 OHP, 250 diddly, 205 squat.

No GF, but well liked by the majority of people I interact with daily. Few friends, but I grew up in a poor neighborhood and avoided the people there until I was about 18. Not very good at making friends, even though most people like to talk and hang out with me.

65k/year job in my degree field, new car, in BJJ and a bonsai club and enjoy cooking (pic related) and drawing.

I still dont feel like I will make it.

I'm 27 and joining the air guard

I joined the Air Guard in my 30s, it was one of the best decisions of my life. Came in as cyber, now making 6 figures just a couple years later. Go in as intel/cyber and you will have a $$$ career after you separate. Plus it's fun and you get to do cool (nerd) shit.

Agreed I'm only 24 but i feel like that age range is probably where the majority of your actual "living" happens

Just turned 25 last month, getting along nicely. Well-paying job out of the Navy, making constant progress on lifts, and can finally train parkour again now that my foot has healed. Still depressed, but it's getting better.

I have a degree in air traffic control, should I join my states air guard in tactical air control party since my state doesn't have any ATC squadrons?

She said she wasn't over her previous ex even though it had been over a year. She thought it wasn't fair to me to keep the relationship going. He was her first boyfriend and she was 18 and he was in her 30s and they were together for several years. She dumped me after I came back from a week long vacation.

I just turned 26 and I can only squat 99lbs.

Pretty good. Lost ten years of my life listening to my dad instead of my gut. Stopped listening this year, at 34 long story about never having family until I was 24. Started working out, eating better, dropped 45lbs, got a decent job, making friends and savings about to go up. Just listen to your gut. It'll tell you the right choice. Fuck everything else. Do you.

Lol that sucks better cry forever and die complacently instead of confronting your fears and growing as a person

Not really sure to be honest. I would imagine any base with a runway needs ATC? Have you talked to a recruiter? Why are you considering joining in the first place? Just for fun or do you have a specific goal? (All serious questions)

As if there is any meaning to growing as a person. We're all gonna die anyway. Some people are lucky enough to not be broken and can enjoy their day to day. Others cannot. It's not always willpower just because you were lucky enough to avoid drastic enough consequences.
Yes, to some people, it's a matter of will. To others, it's literally a chemical imbalance, and yes, chemical imbalances can be triggered by trauma.

>Have you talked to a recruiter?
not yet
>Why are you considering joining in the first place?
a way to pay for my 4 year aviation degree, flight school is fucking expensive
>Just for fun or do you have a specific goal?
I always wanted join but I want to complete my degree and being in the air guard would give me chance to go to the FAA for federal ATC training

I live in Texas for reference

Step 1 is talk to a recruiter. Check your state's guard's educational benefits. Explain your situation and your goals and see what they recommend--but whatever you do, don't sign a contract if it doesn't have a job you want to do for 6 years on it, because retraining is not guaranteed. It doesn't mean it's not gonna happen, but it's not guaranteed. There are probably multiple bases in your state it might be good to call every one (and visit in person if possible). Also look at bases in surrounding states if they are not too far.

Turned 26 a few weeks ago, got a loving qt gf, almost 2 years in the gym, good gains and diet will probably cut soon, 6'1 good frame, face, and blue eyes. But most importantly, Classic WoW soon.

Turn 25 in 3 months. Virgin, never had a gf. In the space of a few months, I've started feeling really old and unaccomplished. I've only just graduated. My granddad is 81 and it's depressing to think that I've wasted years that I should have spent making him proud before he dies.

the Air National Guard

27 here. I started lifting again yesterday, haven't since october of last year. I also broke up with my gf of 2 years yesterday. So here is my message bros: the iron is the only steady thing in your life, there is no medicine, book or message as soothing as the sound of plates clanging against each other. I wish to become as firm and strong as the iron again. Fuck women.

doing shit to make other people proud is definition of the word "tool"
seriously. all of you faggots grow up. i hope all the virgins in here never touch a pussy, and all the fags who got laid somehow magically become virgins again and never see a female for the rest of their lives. you people are fucking pathetic to the point that i want to enact law to have you all rounded up and exterminated. then i will be happy

Closing on a nice house this week :) Worried that it's a little far from the gym I like but it's a commercialish spot in town. I need to find a good powerlifting place desu.

>Slept with someone else's wife instead of having my own

scum.

Vapid cunt, I'd dump your ass too.

>Slept with someone else's wife instead of having my own
Unironically based, marriage in modern times is pretty pointless except for tax purposes, anyone who shells out thousands of dollars for an attempt at childhood Disney fantasy fulfillment of "happily ever after" deserves what's coming to them. Wives are horny motherfuckers, lots of pent-up sexual energy.

27 here, and breddy goose.

I stopped lifting heavy a while back and played around with a lot of meme methods of lifting. At this point I've been fucking around with a method I won't even bother posting here because it's basically blood magic voodoo compared to what this board believes in and no one will believe me anyway, but I'm getting bigger and stronger in the span of a handful of weeks vs grinding away adding to my maxes and getting nothing out of it, while staying natty.

First real relationship started 9.5 years ago in high school and we're engaged (neither of us really gave a shit about marriage, we both knew we were the right one pretty quick).

19 (young fag) here. I’m starting to see more chest and bicep/tricep gains, and am gonna put incline bench into my routine. No GF, but i have a good feeling about this one chick i know. Said chick is a nerdy, Jow Forums, qt 3.14 that i would die for. Madly in love bros, and i think i’m gonna make it.

Attached: 22CDD4BC-6E37-4B97-AD14-04EA0C782DE0.jpg (828x331, 134K)

Met a girl online and went on a date with her. Things went well and we both had fun. Went in for the kiss when we were saying goodbye and she turned her cheek. Said she wants to know me better first.
Been thinking it was just a kind rejection, dunno if there'll be a second date. There are other girls whom I may go out with this week, but I've been ghosted or had girls suddenly change their minds so much that I feel more exhausted than excited. It's all so tiresome Jow Forums.
At least I went back to lifting after a month of idleness.

Anyway, as ridiculous as it may sound, I really care about you and hope you all make it.

What aspects of having a gf do you like?

Chair force is good by Jow Forums standards especially if you wanna lift heavy shit in a hangar all day.

Not happy or sad, probably just depressed. 25 Graduated a while back with meme degree and have just been making 17/hr since at some mid tier retail position. Have decent group of friends, but many are starting careers or moving elsewhere for grad school, jobs, with SOs etc. I'm just here existing for the most part.

I start itching like a former crack addict whenever I hear about Classic WoW.

I fear 30 is too old to find love but i consistently get dates with chicks under 25 so maybe there's hope

25 here, almost 26. Just getting back to gym and boxing after a long post graduation depression/nearly alcoholic slump. During that time I lost two dogs, a bird and a cat. Nearly died from a brain bleed. Dumped gf of two years. Badly hurt my dominant hand and was in a cast for 2 months. Pushed back applying to med school and sitting for mcat. Nowhere else to go but up bros. I'm back in the gym and back training in boxing, need to lose the weight I gained. Hang in there bros, we're all gonna make it.

Doing a phd, lifts are coming along slowly but surely, running distance is increasing. Dating steadily. Had a GF but it didn't work out.
I'm lonely often and my emotional baseline is a little low but I think overall my life is good. I just wish I had friends other than my weird colleagues here.

That’s merry not bilbo you dingus

Trying is the noblest thing a human can do, regardless of if they think they can. Make steps willingly, even if they seem pathetically small. Fight for your enjoyment, make a conceited effort. If you feel like you are not living up to any full potential, good. You can grow. There are people with life altering disabilities like downs syndrome, triple+ amputees, paralyzation, that have no fair shake at what they can do in life. I believe there is a moral duty for each person to at least try to find a purpose and do anything, because the average person has so many possibilities.

Try to live with the idea that 90% of your life is in your control. That 10% is for tragedy and luck. You can make efforts to change what is around you. Think of how insigfigant some of it can be, too. You can lay in bed, feel cold, then bring a blanket further up your body to feel warmer. You can get from one place to another faster, by running, instead of walking. What is stopping you from being not unhappy? The 10%? Can you try talking to someone about it to get sympathy and advice? Start small, like with a random online. Graduate to a therapist, then try to strike up small conversations with people, become friends, then ask their advice. You can improve almost anything about yourself if you try. Dont fret about lost time or feeling like you cannot try. If you start small enough, you can improve.

Send me a friend request on discord if you have it and want to talk: BoredToday#2212

Teach me your ridiculous method, please.

>turned her cheek

How the FUCK did you recover from this? I would take the FUCKING smith and wesson retirement plan after this if you know what I mean desu desu.

feel for you user. Im nearly done getting through my breakup, focus on you and dont talk to her unless she talks to you first

>workout strong from 15-18 doing bro lifts
>barely able to get a 225lb bench in 3 years
>squat never passed 200lbs
>ohp was somehow 185lbs
>deadlift 315lbs
But then I took off a year cause I got sick/depressed from being sick. So I got back to the gym andddd
>Bench 135 max, squat - bar, deadlift 185lbs, ohp 95lbs
So I thought it would be easy to gain it back but nope, took another two years and this time I was boxing and just focusing on being in shape. Never gained a single pound never looked bigger.

Did this until age 22. Then I got into an accident. Had to take off a year. Go back into the gym, literally 0 muscle have to start from scratch. If I take off even a week (had to get surgery again) my lifts go back down to beginner level and I show no muscle.

This is fucking frustrating. I'm at age 25 and I gotta lift the bar and have no muscle to show. If I didn't have small balls and knew how to get steroids I'd be on them

30yo boomer. I have an m.s. in a stem field and a nice white collar job at a pharma company doing work I like. I make pretty good money there and the room for financial growth with the company is solid if I stay there. The "rent situation" in my city really keeps me down as far as my ability to properly invest my money the way I'd like to but I don't really have any choice but to accept that.
Lifts are higher than ever and I have more energy than ever. I almost never drink anymore and I still hang out with all my closest friends.
Haven't had sex since I kicked my exgf out of my apartment which was months ago now but honestly I don't even really care anymore. I've been in one long term relationship or another since I was 16 and I just can't imagine dealing with that shit again. They are money/gains/fun goblins but I'm sure sooner or later I'll accept my fate and settle down.

I know this feel. When I was 21 my lifts were at max. 315DL, 135OHP, 235 squat, 185 bench. Stopped lifting full time, and now at 25 I'm fighting with the indignity of barely managing a 235DL after months and months of lifting. I never took as long off as you did but I still ended up practically where you are.

I guess we learn from our mistakes and realize the gains are ephemeral

You haven’t found the right one. I can’t imagine myself proposing to anyone, but there have been women I’ve wanted to spend a lot of time with and successfully did for many years. I think my older sister and her bf did it right. They’ve been dating for 11 years and are way more happy and financially successful than my cousins who got married

Sorry man, I can't do that yet. I do have a plan to reveal and explain it in full, but it won't be for another 1-3 months. Without doing what I have planned literally no one will believe me.

>tfw about to turn 25 Tuesday
>only fucked two girls and it was the last year
How do I catch up to the average guy (10+) ?

I'm bored all of the time, what are your hobbies?

Are you me?

Third this, i'm pathetic compared to Jow Forums, but i look pretty good. Just floating around 180 is my goal because its pretty easy, and abs(and face) are great for me around there.
