Check that IRC channel you hung around in as a teenager

It was a cool kid in high school who introduced me to mirc.

Have kids so you can fuck the kids.

The beginning of the end

It all happens very fast

The value of our communities are their ethereal nature user. Many of us grew up on them because we had a social itch that could only be scratched with anonymity and ghosting.
I'm in my late 20s now and I started on IRC at 13. I've been part of several big communities from birth to death. The cliche "don't be sad that it's over be glad that it happened" is pretty accurate.

Hehe

everyone uses discord now. i haven't used irc in a long while, personally.

buy something to show off and brag about

I think twitch chat is has an IRC backend, so technically IRC is better than it ever was.

It's not the IRC standard though, it has proprietary changes.

Not that much, user, not that much. But I know very well that woman and family won't solve that. Both from experience and from the principle; if you are not happy alone, you won't be happy with someone.

good riddance

Furthest I got was serious relationship for about three years. Fourth year was just pure suffering, I only wanted my previous life back. So I ended it. All things considered I'm content, apart from lacking some purpose, but as one gets older, you have to think about it frequently.

But goddamn, 2 kids and wife, fug.

I think there's another online community more suited to your demographic...

This post almost certainly coming from a 2016 Jow Forumsthe_donald immigrant who browses Jow Forums (newfag hug box).

>if you are not happy alone, you won't be happy with someone
That is stacey-speak for "if you aren't happy and confident 100% of the time, then don't get anywhere near me", meanwhile she will state "if you can't handle me at my worst, then you can't have me at my best"

Truth is, you might be happy with the other components of your life, and the missing element is a relationship.

But based on the fact that you are on Jow Forums, I don't think a relationship will complete that picture.

Wrong. You accepted Stacy-thought here as reality, although the real meaning is just old stoicism - don't look for happiness elsewhere, you already have everything you need inside you. But you are very correct that normans screw with this old saying.

Relationships can be great, sure. But what I miss (and I think what most of the guys with more than double-digit IQ miss) is some higher purpose, higher meaning in life. And that won't be fixed by a girl.

Anime is better than women

Numbers speak the truth.

It might be nice to have a friend (human).

Neither had one

I know this is a meme at this point, but is there any other user that's been here since 12-13 years old in ~2005 and now has a steady job, makes money and all that shit but still has no friends outside of dead IRC chats?
Its starting to really feel depressing

>am I fitting in yet xDDDDDD

Been here since 21 in '08. Steady life but literally no friends, including online. I don't even talk to family anymore.

Yeah, I never cared for socializing online either.
I might hang around on an IRC channel for a while but I lose interest of it after a week or so and never visit it again.

this is so fucking true holy shit

REEEEEE
Procreation is wrong

i think i just suck at keeping friends, and also i dont have the same interests anymore. i guess they were just game acquantices

I just want an email friend.

On the internet, everyone can be a friend. Even yourself.

I remember the first time a friend of mine sent a custom gif to me over MSN.
It was a really tiny version of that air humping storm trooper and I just lost it, laughed so hard I couldn't breathe.
Those were simpler times.

is IRC the most ancient internet communities that people these days can think? I was sysop in BBS (Bulletin Board System) in 1980s. I remember Compuserve, The Well and Geocities. Millions used Geocities, The well and Compuserve and now nobody remember.

Sorry, I'm only 30.
The most contact I had with BBSs was an older neighbour kid from whom I got pirated Amiga games from.

this is Jow Forums we know you don't do that

If you have a steady job, then you have work friends at least. Im a consultant now and don't have any "real life" friends, but I have a good group of work buddies I chat with on skype every day.

I recently got back into gaming and eventually got invited to a discord group with a good set of guys who've been playing games together for years. I'm the newcomer but it finally feels like I have a sense of community again

>25
>soon 26
>everyone I went to school with has a house and MULTIPLE kids already
Each year I get closer to suicide.

Someone the other day posted a revelation. We only put up with women because they suck dick, this is how unbearable they are. Imagine it for a second, someone so annoying that you only agree to see them if they suck your dick.

I'd recommend walks.
At least where I live the streets get completely barren at night and it's completely quiet.
Really helps me clear my head and stay sane.

Otherwise, I hear exercise in general can help, so there's always that if you can commit to it.

I should feel superior but I just feel sad

Even better, buy them gaymes

yeah, you're still young. the capitalist machine can still pump at least 30 years of work out of you

quit letting yourself think you're old and go enjoy your life user. it ain't gonna last forever. every day you live is the youngest you'll ever be

Been on the internet since 2005, never had real friends, don't have any positive experiences with that because they get offended all the time and it's a miserable experience overall trying to figure out what I'm supposed to do and how much to suck their dick. I enjoy my life as it is now, lots of more rewarding things that I can do, to bother with what I can't do.

not the user you're replying to but,

literally everyone wants a "meaning to life" regardless of IQ (unless they're a super retard). It is in human nature to seek patterns, meaning, and understanding.

i agree, a girlfriend won't solve that.

but what if i told you that there are many women out there who feel as empty as you. women who are fine with not finding meaning because there is no meaning. women that just want a companion to get through this bullshit called "life".

it's not just the stacies that want bf's, user.

keep searching

Whiter than you, Pablo.

Women around here (Sweden) usually start having kids around 30 and barely fertile. My cousin had a kid when she was fucking 40, that's her first kid too.
