I've kind of been wanting to make a thread and this will suffice. I just want to be productive and useful and the problem is that I don't know how to get there. I'm too old (33) and experienced for entry-level jobs, they take one look at me and don't want any of it, but I also don't have the qualifications for real career stuff. I've been living back with my family for a few years after a failed relationship (my only one) and my mom recently left my dad and the family, and I think the responsibility it's put on me has actually done a lot of good, it's shown me that I can actually be functional and get shit done, and I've resolved a lot of long-standing problems with the house and stuff. I feel like I'm finally hitting the point where I mentally and emotionally have my shit together but I'm 10 years too late. I just want a path to independence and reasonable success.

And the worse part? I still love and care about her.
25 year old permastudent here. Study medicine. Exam next week, then I get two weeks off. Will probably spend it studying. I want to play a videogame but I don't know what to play.
Oh yeah and I have no friends and my closest family is 400 kms away.
Lincoln Thompson
yep. same here. look into QA software school. You learn to test software and its a good intro program. I'm probably gonna do this at some point. I don't care about integrating into society or being "an adult" i just want a decent income and a job where im not walking around like a faggot all day
Adrian Russell
Unfortunately software and programming stuff are the absolute worst thing for me. I'm good with the visual and things that can be intuitively understood, horrible with the abstract. I was the kid that aced geometry and conceptual physics and failed algebra and chem, and I had a decent career as a professional photojournalist and secondarily writer, until the industry collapsed and getting jobs became all about selling yourself rather than your work, probably the thing I'm worst at out of every possible thing on Earth.
Jack Kelly
I'm only 23 but I have more right to be here than any of you because you're all fucking tofu eating normie faggots.
Jaxson Williams
yep. interacting with people is suicide fuel. having to interact with people in order to make money is suicide fuel as well
Adrian Evans
Go to university. They'll accept you no matter your age. Get a degree in something practical, like Engineering. Forge a fake work history on your CV. Don't worry about having to get references, employers only want your most recent reference anyway. Volunteer doing something like working at a soup kitchen, and make that your primary reference.
Join a religious community, like a church. Preferably a more conservative one. Build connections that way. People will accept you no matter what, and they usually have programs to help people in your situation. Come back in two years, zoomer.

Nathan Brooks
i already went to college and maxed out my federal loan limit for undergrad majoring in worthless shit. I don't think i can get any more funds unless i do a masters degree. so the answer is most likely "fuck that." I don't really want people in my life. I just want to be left alone to be lost in my thoughts if im not at some job. Ultimately, if i can just get a real job, my life would be set. I'm super minimalist, don't care about going out and wasting money on worthless social events, don't care about materialism, don't watch tv etc. I'll live in a crawl space. I just need an income that I can save rapidly because i want to just eat shit for 15-20 yearss and then retire.
Luke Clark
Why wouldn't you be able to post here? Are you gonna end it at 24
Jeremiah Garcia
SQA is dead in the water. SDET and DevOps does that shit now. Unfortunately all jobs are now about selling yourself more than your work. Even the trades are going to become like that, because when Roastie McHomeowner calls a sparkie over to do some shit, she's not going to be happy if he's an uncouth slob even though he does an awesome job at a good rate. Fortunately I'm good at that in my field, but figuring out how to get more than a handful of sympathy likes for a photo on Instagram without it being of some thot eludes me. I guess it's about appealing to lust or gluttony, both of which I'm shit at. I need sleep.
Joseph Carter
so what am i supposed to do?
Brody Stewart
Yeah, getting into university is what I'm trying to work on atm. Just sucks that I have to spend like 2-3 years in garbage community college and then transfer first. Probably gonna try to go for a commercial aviation degree and the associated licenses, best case I become a pilot (something I've wanted my whole life) and worst case I go work for an aircraft manufacturer or the FAA or IATA or something.
Selling yourself once to get a steady job is one thing, selling yourself 24/7 to get freelance jobs is another. The latter is the thing that killed me.
Kayden Cruz
accepting your flaws is good but it sounds more like you have given up. It's not the same thing. Don't waste your time, find out what you want in life and chase it will all you have
Evan Perez
I haven't given up. id go work in some remote place doing mindless labor if it paid enough. I've already hit all the adolescent milestones and got it out of my system. I just want a decent, steady income so i can start investing, saving for retirement. That's all i really give a shit about. I don't want a wife or kids, i just want to stack cash and retire ASAP

no idea what to do. looking for a new job, i only need 12 - 15 hours to survive, i will find one within a couple months. i just have no hobbies or drivers any more. zero interest in female, ever, barely have a libido honestly. back pain stops me from writing/drawing ect. like i used to
all i do is lie in bed and surf youtube/Jow Forums. i stopped eating a week ago because my stomach issues got to their worst. at least my money will last longer now
family doesn't care, i strategically throw cash at my mother and sisters so that they leave me alone. stay trim and clean so i don't outwardly look like a complete degenerate
i am also a phenomenal liar and can keep multiple charades going at once, which is pretty much the one thing that's kept me going through life whilst having to do barely any work. i have no other marketable skills. none

people in this thread are fundementally defective units, shizos, autists, the mentally deficient and "general social retards." you are not on the same frequency as us, your experiences and knowledge mean nothing we are a different species. you are not some golden normie who can help us all, like the magic white man with his fire sticks arriving in the new world
you're free to do as you please but all i'm saying is you posting here is like me going to mu and starting talking about burzum in an edm thread. it's rude, pointless and everybody is just going to auto hide your posts anyway
Blake Kelly
27. I've really missed these. The ones on Jow Forums have a weird atmosphere. I went to a new burger place for the second time. The owner recognised and fistbumped me and was trying to get to know me. I tried to stifle my awkwardness as best I could. Had a really chill atmosphere. I sat across from a guy with 2 girls. They were sitting on his lap and they kissed him and kissed each other and were smoking a hookah (the place has several). I didn't know what to think, so I just tried to ignore them.
I'm in community college after being sick for 10 years. It's okay. I made a few friends. They're zoomers, but we get along, due to my arrested development. In fact, almost every kid I meet is really nice. Suspiciously so. I had a thing for one of the girls in my class. I tried courting her. We would go out drinking a lot. It didn't work out. Oh well. I tried. And it was nice to feel infatuation for the first time in so long. The feelings are gone now, thankfully. My friends helped me through it and I got sober. Meditation has helped.
I've been trying to get into buddhism, but it's difficult. I have a lot of anger. Whenever I let it go, it just comes back. But it does feel nice to have a goal again. Especially a spiritual one, as someone who was raised in a really Christian community (my father was essentially a cult leader).
My life is not what I thought it would be. Having friends is not what I thought it would be. I thought things would be more satisfying. But they aren't. I feel like I'm dissociating more and more often. I don't know if I can accept this for the next 40 or 50 years.

stop playing dumb videogames and do something tranquil like drinking instead.
Hudson Adams
Well, I vented for my own sake. And I don't understand the hostility or why you would express it online. For me, anger only feels good irl. The Jow Forums thread is bad and your post has no merit.
Eli Long
Nah I do dxm.
Jackson Sanders

Kevin Turner
I used to be one of you until I decided to quit whining about my life and take it head on. Maybe I'm a different breed than you, maybe you're not as special as you think you are. I think the latter option is the more likely one.
Luke Williams
I've accepted it. It's probably easier for me since I've lived with my sisters up to my 20s so my need for a woman has been dulled by the reality of living with them. My advise is to just switch gears and replace it with literally anything else.

Things could be worse I guess. I could be living in DR Congo.
Luis James
It used to haunt and terrify me, but then I realize ive become so set in my ways, and that modern women are mostly selfish pains-in-the-asses anyway, so I've convinced myself i'm not really missing anything.
Not only that, but ive known and worked with men in their 40s and 50s who've been screwed over in divorce enough that "dont ever get married, kid" really did stick with me. I dont want kids anyway, so its not like a long-term relationship with a woman is necessary.
Easton Perez

Nicholas Wright
>yeah oyu could have neither of those skills you just described.
Eh, i'm not actually very good at any of them. I could potentially improve, but i'm just so demotivated and passionless.
>You could be living with your parents.
I fucking WISH. Those of you who have parents that care about you that you live with should be grateful as fuck. It sucks not having parents around, who even remotely care a little about you. My dad was fucking awesome when he was alive, I miss him so bad.
Juan James
Does anybody else feel caught between generations? I'm 32 and I feel like I'm young enough that I grew up with some level of computers and internet, enough to distance me from GenXers, but I'm too old to have grown up in the era of smartphones and social media and I feel hopelessly left behind.
Carson Adams
I'm 27 and nobody makes any sense to me at all. I wish I had some kind of common generational backdrop to share with someone. I grew up in the cultural equivalent of a cave. When people make jokes or references to things that were popular and cool they just fly over my head.

People told me I would feel independant. I would taste freedom. I'd "be a man". Truth is, I've never felt so insignificant. So little. So worthless.
You know, I probably brought it upon myself. I've always had meaningful work in high regards. In fact, I do believe that working hard towards a goal is what gives you meaning in your life. In a sense, your goals funnel your potentialities into the best outcome for you. Therefore, if you find meaning in your actions, you expand your worth in accord with your values and you can feel that sense of progress.
What is there to be proud, to be exalted about being a wagecuck? Every goal beyond the actual situation is incredibly hard to achieve. Everything seems so dull, so tiresome, so far away that despair overcomes your sense of transcendence.
I'm not that afraid of being a wagecuck. I'm more afraid of getting used to be one. This frightens me to my soul. This is the death of potentialities.
thanks for sharing. glad to see all the 28 year olds on here. Jordan Peterson talks about "low-resolution" in terms of an adolescent being plura-potentiality. They haven't figured out their "path" which would lead them to become a higher resolution being.
I'm still in the 'low-resolution' stage but its not cute anymore. I haven't completely surrendered to a wage cuck sacrifice but i need to soon, before an unpleasant path is forced upon me.
Jace Turner
I feel you friendo
Bentley Martin
Nothing can replace it, no matter how good other areas of my life are there's still this huge void
David Morales
Thanks for your insight. I don't remember that part in 12 reasons, maybe it was in the maps of meaning. I need to read that one too.
Peterson helps me dealing with the lack of meaning in my present life. I wonder if that will be enough to trigger some greater change.
Your life is easy and you've faced zero hardships. Never come cry about nothing in these threads again normie.

A 1000 times this. Living alone as a wagecuck, trying to survive for the sake of (((independance))) is fucking ridiculous. It's like "look at me I'm a rat trapped in a cage but at least it's MY cage".

That's so weird. Usually they're all super liberal
Don't do computer science it's a meme degree. If you're good at coding you can always find work. Instead do engineering to some extent. Or another STEM field you have interest in.

STEM should just be TM honestly. Science has such an insane barrier to entry. Engineering I've heard similar stories. My MS in a hard science has done nothing for me but put in me life-altering debt.
