>30 in september
Don't really feel much nowadays. Just occasional self hatred and sadness. But mostly it's just nothing, like some kind of void. Managing to mimic normie at work, but can't really feel any connection to anyone. Dodged few coffee invites from cute coworker. No real friends left.
It's probably time to think about leaving this world.

Life is the pitts. I need something to give my life meaning and purpose other than some cruddy 'professional' job.

I've been thinking of getting jaw implants to make myself more attractive.

Late twenties, want to move to the Scottish Highlands or the Welsh mountains to escape the utter batshittery I see around me in SE England on a daily basis. Broken bones and fights are one thing, but the level of cannabis-induced madness is quite another. In a white middle class area of an inner city you're relatively safe, but elsewhere a large proportion under 30 appear to be simmering cauldrons of skunkoid rage.

How has ur life turned out, user

Yeah but they are pretty much untouchable if u are a robot. I am learning the hard way being in college

The world's been going insane for years now. 9/11 was the inflection point for the US, and it's just going to gather steam until it goes off a cliff. The inevitable economic collapse is gonna be fun. One thing that makes me sad though is that empathy has gone completely out of fashion. It seems like people are actively aspiring to be shitty and go the extra length to kick others when they're down.
I was kind of in the same place when I was nearing 30, but I just ploughed through it because it's all I know how to do.

>31
>No friends
>I want to kill myself

I still have several months to go before 30 so the typical early-mid life crisis hasn't set in yet. I never thought I would become this listless and stunted at this age.

I used to think that everyone thinks they're living at the cusp of some great change and calamity... but now I'm starting to realize that there's a good chance this time is different. We're long overdue for a big one, and everyone, at every level of society, is on edge. The next decade is going to be a literal and figurative riot.

>9/11 was the inflection point for the US
Was it 9/11 or something later down the line? For me it was the point where everybody decided to adopt chan-style shitposting IRL and that only happened when social media really took off.

LSD cured my want to die and depression. 31

Why do you call it cruddy? Is it boring? Feels pointless? Lots of robots would kill for job like that, based on the general tone of wagecuck threads.

I have a comfy desk job, usually gives me a sense of productivity and fulfillment, but the lack of social interaction, lack of going outside, and the occasional feeling of repetition often leaves me doubting my life choices. Like maybe I should've been a forest ranger or some shit like that.

I turn 30 next year.
I have no connection with the capitalist world anymore. The music, the media, social media. None of it means anything to me or speaks to me in any way. I'm just numb to everything. Nothing excites me or enrages me anymore or really makes me feel anything. When i see people getting worked up about Trump, or some man hating feminist or whatever, I'm genuinely baffled about how people can still care and yet I also envy them because at least they do care about something.

At least there's drugs.

Why not? Apparently they're available to everyone now (in the UK).

They're not for over 25s, no?

If non pasta you are a nigger for cheating on your wife. I say this as a 31 virgin incel.

Believe me she deserved it. She forced me under threat of violence to marry her.

Shitty pasta anyway. I love dating women, even when they don't want to see me again, you get to grab their ass and kiss them.

Explain?
Please I am genuinely curious.

You can get them at 50 even.

MOINY CRAFTA
Only only fags will get this lol xd

31. Constantly debating between working part time and going all in trying to make my own money, or continuing this awful wage slaving in some soulless office building. Life is a perpetual countdown as I creep towards 40. Seems like 30s are when successful people started to turn their life around. I love to make YouTube videos, draw, and work out. I have a sleeping disorder that makes waking up early incredibly difficult.

Advice isn't derailment. I was a fucking robo until I started doing that. Gaming girls, lying to them, manipulating them - THAT is what men aspire to. It's a learning process, and I only hit it when I was 30. Young girls like older men. Lie your ass off about your background.

Rather not air my dirty laundry to a public board that gets permanently mirrored and cached by google.

I hate how he's tried to embrace that shit now like he's in on the joke.

I call it cruddy because it's a job. I would call any job cruddy no matter how much it paid or how much 'status' I got from it. It's pointless tasks and responsibilities. I mean I'm glad to be able to do this versus like working at McDonalds, but it's still just a mundane thing I do for 40+ hours a week. My job isn't my identity, it's just something I do so I can afford the things I want, and not have to live in some black ghetto.

I don't really have much that brings meaning in my life other than my parents, my parents' pets (I know them well and care about them even though they're technically not mine), and one professional sports team I have an unhealthy obsession with.

That's why I'm seriously considering cosmetic surgery. People want to be friends and date attractive people, it's what's holding me back I think.

Everyone deserves a redemption ark user.

1 month. Partly due to my incompetence and partly due to my surroundings.

>That's why I'm seriously considering cosmetic surgery.
I don't think that's really the issue holding you back.

Oh. But I need a fucking *loan* to be able to fucking learn. Cool. Awesome. Oh you're over 24? Sorry bro just saddle yourself with all this debt!

The only jobs I could ever get is in the service industry flipping burgers or serving coffee. Is that all my life is worth? Work just so I can be poor for the benefit of someone else then have to thank them for the opportunity. My entire life distilled to a disposable unit of labour just to prop up the pension scheme of the previous generation.

Word for word described my situation, except for location that is. I guess there are people my age to socialise with here, but fuck that, I'm not a fan of talking to complete strangers.

Loco Bandito proves that he was always based.

>Gaming girls, lying to them, manipulating them - THAT is what men aspire to.
Lol what the fuck retard.

Yeah pretty sure most men want love, a family. Not this degenerate shit.

>I don't think that's really the issue holding you back.
I like how you imply that all these women on dating sites can just see my personality from a short bio and a first message.

Lije how when I go to a bar or something, these women I try to talk with barely respond and quickly find reasons to leave the convo despite being friendly and open.

Social media is fine. You just think your generic opinion are wisdom you have learned from age. Sadly it's what Jr high kids say to sound deep.

Stop wasting your time trying to sound smart, old timer.

Yeah, when social media took off it made me feel like nobody can be trusted because they all secretly want to cut you down like they do on Twatbook. I guess it was inevitable that people start letting their online personality show in meatspace, although I haven't seen much of that where I am, yet.
What lies did you tell about your background? Mine is completely insane and makes me sound like some kind of CIA field agent, which is probably a turnoff.

Bad fisherman. Shoo

You're kidding right? You're off by a decade.

If you get a good degree and aren't socially retarded, the first job you get after graduation should pay enough to quickly pay down school debt.

Shocker, sometimes you have to invest in yourself so you aren't stuck scrubbing toilets your whole life.

t. paid back school debt within year of graduation

Yes I agree my fellow white 31yo male.

Did you have to go to Gookland to find her?

Nothing about that is bait. You just aren't original.

Shoo now shoo

>You just aren't original.
Doesn't make hm wrong though. Social media, especially twitter, is one of the worst things to happen to the human race in the 21st century.

>just put yourself in tens of thousands of debt dude!

At 32? Yeah mate sure. I couldn't even get into a uni with no GCSEs. Not to mention the market being so saturated you either got really lucky or studied a niche field.

>aren't socially retarded,
>r9k
benis :DDDD

I found her on reddit. She responded to a post I made on Jow Forumsforeveralonedating. As a 5/10 cringey male, I got no attention on dating apps. My only defining feature is my strong jawline, which being a manlet doesn't get me far. I posted on that subreddit for a few months and dated 2 girls. Only downside is she lives 3 hours away.

Sure. I mean sitting on your ass browsing Chink cartoon message boards complaining about your life isn't going to change shit.

It doesn't even have to be university. Could be trade school. Could be a skills boot camp thing. Just go somewhere to learn something that other people/businesses will continuously pay you to do.

I say that I travel the world as a nonprofit coordinator and help women and children.

kek.

FB, Flickr, and Myspace launched at about the same time, while Twitter came along a couple of years after, but social media was still fairly fringe until the iPhone mainstreamed them by reducing the barrier of entry to a couple of taps on a screen.
Yeah, it's why everyone in the tech industry, especially the guys in charge of the big companies, are keeping their kids off of social media. Zuck doesn't want his kids to use FB, which kinda tells you what he thinks about the shithole he created.

>Social media was a bad idea.

Pretty much every week some new study confirms this

That's kinda funny, since that's what I used to do. Maybe I should skip on telling the stories about being taken hostage by african warlords and then becoming their buddies on whatsapp after we came to a mutual understanding.

I do get it, but all support for training and apprenticeships pretty much dries up as soon as you're over 24. Living in a deprived northen English town isn't exactly rife with opportunity. I Just looked at apprenticeships online and almost all of them were for fucking hairdressers.

Are you 30+ years old and ascribe to the insane chad memes of the latter 10s?

The worst thing about social media is that it skyrocketed the egos of women.

I remember in the late 2000s and early 2010s, women weren't as stuck up, and were more willing to give you a chance even if you weren't a 10/10 Greek god. I speak from experience here.

Now women are endlessly validated by spineless beta orbiters online, and as a result, have egos as big as their fat bodies.

You're just probably a 4th worlder (like an american or something), you're overreacting

Also, the moment all of you incels will get riled up and executed, is the moment humanity will make one step forward

my local sheet metal union pays apprentices 16/hr to go to school . IDK where you are at, but they're fucking desparate because everyone under the age of 40 was brainwashed into thinking that anything blue-collar wasn't "success."

>Are you 30+ years old and ascribe to the insane chad memes of the latter 10s?
no, it's just what I get complimented on the most.

Not the best. Bit like most other posters i expect

Well keep looking and think of something. I find it hard to believe there is no way to improve yourself, especially since everyone else you know has done it.

Listen, you're a broke, unemployed 32 year old who spends his days playing Vidya. You don't really have much time to start getting your shit together. You're not an aimless 20 year old anymore.

The UK. Basically any support for learning, apprenticeships, technically colleges or skills camps are centered around 18-24.

I don't know if it was just 9/11, but I feel something in 2001 was the turning point.

Second-year wizard reporting in! :3

>was brainwashed into thinking that anything blue-collar wasn't "success."

Well that's true though. Less than 20% make it in terms of careers though. The rest 80% gotta accept that they are just regular grunts on this planet with 7 billion people on it

Gaming is as boring as fuck. The drives sound nice though.

Gotta do something right? Life isn't getting any easier and escapism (besides old books and films (and old vidya)) these days is pretty crap.

I know lad. The deck is just stacked so heavily against me that I'd have to go back 15+ years working twice as hard just to catch up.

As someone who has "slept" since 2006, meaning I more or less traveled through time, the actual state of the world has turned into a clown world.
There is little reasoning left, the Wect is mainly driven by emotional good feeling stances and decisions, while they don't realize that they are still played at by big lobbying companies.

I am not fond of nowadays and the youth and the change of paradigm.

And it does not surprise me that it's actually factually true that people have been becoming dumber steadily.
Easier to manipulate, easier to control

The kids who grew up with Web 2.0 will turn out even more retarded, just saying.
Brainwashing from an early age in your developmental phase, being fed propaganda, being a tool of big companies and other interests, they all turn(ed) into more obedient puppets, while thinking they are some sort of societal frontier for something revolutionary.

I'm 31. I'm reaching the stage of my life where I'm starting to accept that I will probably never have certain things that others take for granted. Mainly friends, a gf, and a decent job. I'm a strange neurotic guy who barely speaks and doesn't look people in the eye. People see me and know immediately that something is off. It used to make me bitter and really upset, but I'm learning to let it go and just accept it. Could be worse.

I got my shit together for the most part and only associate with people I like and can connect well with. That's how I handled my issues which sound similar to yours.
Still no gf or regular friends though, but that's life.

Hrmm you seem similar to me. I have nocturnal panic attacks a few hours every night before I can actually sleep. I'm about to turn 26 and have a good office job, but can already feel myself decaying.

Agreed, I don't know what changed over the past decade but before I could say "I don't belong" while still having some form of connection to society. These days when I say it, I mean it, something has changed and for the far worse.
>honk honk clown world
I laughed this meme off when it was new, now I see what it means

30+ is about the time that people begin the "acceptance" phase of their life.

Before 30, everyone bitches and moans about how bad they have it. But at 30+, you begin to just accept it all.

I dont enjoy Jow Forums anymore. It is filled with little children and I do not relate to any of them. Even this thread feels like ita full of zoomers.

I keep coming back because i have spent so long here I genuinely dont know what else is out there on the Internet. A lot of forums I used to browse when I was in high school have been eroded. I think a big milestone in my life was when they redesigned ultimate-guitar forums; that place was a bastion of hope for me in 06, and was where I was first introduced to /b/. I went back last month to see if anything interesting was on the front page, and it has changed entirely. Its not the site I used to love, and is on major life support.

The newgrounds community, Pojo, gamefaqs; these were all great communities when I was in high school, and were places I spent a lot of time. Now? They are fucked.

I dont feel like I have an Internet home anymore.
