25 and over thread

I'll be 26 in exactly a week. Work full time and make a pretty good living. Just started uni too because work alone was getting boring. I have absolutely 0 fucking clue what I am doing with my life though. I'm just throwing shit at the wall and hoping it sticks.

Recently I've been able to stop thinking about 'what if I'm not doing the "right" thing with my life' and feeling anxiety about it.

Like what if I'm actually really good at baseball or being a surgeon or something and I just have no idea and yet I'm spending all the other time doing other stuff?

Is there even a word for that?

haven't, that is

I've been there man, don't let that escalate any further, I got to a point where I paranoia got so fucked up I would hide if my doorbell or phone rang. Unfortunately the only way to prevent it escalating further is some regular social interaction. I basically don't interact with people unless I'm intoxicated in some way or it's formality and the cash register repeat-tape.

>25
>still fuck 18 year olds thanks to the joys of legal prostitution and the internets

feels good man

Quarter life crisis?

Same here. 18 year old asian escorts are great. Only costs $100 for 30 minutes too.

After being in two failed relationships, I just fuck an escort once a month to 'flush' my system and I'm good

Fuck, I even bought a motorbike recently. Could be a crisis!

Teach me your ways. Not prostitution I already know this. I haven't been laid in years (not prostitute)

...

=(

Pretty shitty, famicom. 25 year old college dropout with no friends. Work a shit job, but make enough to get by. Should really get out more but I'm socially retarded

29

Praying for death

Gf dumped me a week ago and I can't let her go even though the relationship was incredibly toxic and we fought like white trash

Super bad, lifelong, crippling anxiety and depression. Would look myself but I'm in touch with my parents who love me and I have a dog

No friends AT ALL

Alcoholic, but I don't drink, and I have no hobbies so I am completely isolated

32. My major investment in my late twenties has given me all the money I'll ever need. I bought the house of my dreams. I met the girl of my dreams. We got married.

Lasted a little over a year. She died in a car accident.

I don't see any reason to keep on living.

So, I'd say, not good.

Look = kill*

Kill yourself.

30 y.o. dumped gf 2 months ago. More depressed than ever. I have trouble accepting the harsh reality of relationships and the nature of women.

Why would I do that, when no matter how bad life gets, I'll never be you?

Once you kill yourself, and I'm that pathetic, I'll consider it.

Women are trash. Their only use, truly, is for mens pleasure.

27 kissless virgin living at home working a 120k job. barely talk to old friends, haven't made any new ones in years, only go out for work and to pick up fast food.

I'm not one for asians though, finding white 18 year olds is somewhat more difficult and costly, but fuck it I can afford it

1) get job
2) get paid for job
3) use payment for prostitutes

What do you mean by their nature?

That was truly an awful post.

Look up MGTOW

>Should really get out more but I'm socially retarded
this

>My major investment in my late twenties has given me all the money I'll ever need.
How do I do this?

user I dont want prostitutes anymore

Erm I heard that to be a sexist place full of losers who resent women for not finding them attractive?

Do you realise where you are?

Kill yourself.

no u

Holy shit dude... You've explained my situation more eloquently and with more self-awareness than I ever could. It's like I can't function around others. I can communicate with others just fine, but it doesn't seem to matter.Even when things go well, I feel too drained by the experience to find any joy in the victory.

Live in California. Know someone who has a startup. Be a principle funder.

Company sells to a bigger company.

Congratulations. You just won at life.

...

That was truly an autismo post.

u mad?

No. Do tell.

>Le reddit memer
>mad bro?

Self awareness

26 now. I started feeling old at 23. How do people in their 40s and 50s deal with it?

>resorts to le reddit insults

oh, I didn't realise you had a terminal case of cancer

Cred Forums

Doing good m8

I just started the process of buying my first house.

Oh really I thought this was Jezebel

Knowing that if I continue this pattern, I will still have zero meaningful relationships after my parents die and I can finally kill myself.

Things could easily be better. GF of 7 years and I split a month ago. Moved into a 0 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment. I sleep in the corner, on the floor. No hot water or electricity. (Portable battery packs are amazing btw) Car died. All my old friends from high school moved away/had kids/got married.

I think the only thing going for me right now is work. Not the pay.. (college loans take 15% plus tax returns) But work is steady. There's also a chick there I hit it off with. Shes kinda the closest person to me right now, but she may be leaving the area.

I thought life would be pretty okay at 27.

9gag will welcome you home any time you decide to stop trying so hard.

16 here, any advice?

says the guy putting in more effort to his responses than me

How do you meet grills? I'm 29 and just got dumped. I don't interact with anyone. I work graveyard shift and cute girls will sometimes hit on me out of pity.

get the fuck off of Cred Forums and never return

Leave until you are 18, post dick before you go.
Dont worry, Its legal where I live.

lol yeah u mad

>100$ for 30 minutes

Wow holy shit, go strike up a conversation/buy a girl a drink and get laid like a real man. Or just end it before you pass on your defective seed

>still mad

>a drink costs $20

>ALWAYS has a greater failure rate

Yeah nah.

But I don't want to live in California. And I don't know anyone. What if the startup fails?

>go strike up a conversation/buy a girl a drink
Explain

Start lifting. Seriously. Go to /fit/, most of them won't give a fuck if you're 16, but just say you're 18 and need advice for a 16 year old friend

You'll always regret what you didn't do, not what you did do. For me, my biggest regret is NOT lifting early

Then you lose your money.

I lost my money twice before I hit.

And, who doesn't want to live in California.

This is autism.

Have money, and it doesn't matter what you look like.

Instead of lifting, gain financial literacy.

Hard to meet anyone these days. Most women at this stage are damaged goods. Minds all fucky, kids popped loose, crazy exes, drug problems, maybe all of the above.

That's why they make dating services.

Or you can take a day off, go to a bar and drink yourself into a stupor. Eventually, some woman will approach you. She'll probably be crazy tho.

I don't want to live in California because it's expensive. My shitty job is in Florida right now. Checked.

>That's why they make dating services.
Don't work

>Or you can take a day off, go to a bar and drink yourself into a stupor. Eventually, some woman will approach you. She'll probably be crazy tho.
Still hasn't worked.

Thanks for advice.

You can do both, idiot.

Lifting takes 3-4 hours per week. 1 hour every second day.

I used to think the same as you, which is why it took me so long to start. Holy fuck do I regret it.

Going better. I have my masters(Albeit in writing, but still) and I'm working in a ward at a hospital. It's looking up.

Guy you replied to here.

I think we are very much on same wavelength, it's not a lack of social skills, fear or anxiety at the root of the problem, it's just being around people at all, pleasant or unpleasant doesn't matter, it's always such a drain that it invalidates anything which may have been gained in the process and therefor all these efforts eventually collapse before coming to any fruition.

13 years of shrinks and psychologists hasn't brought me one bit further either.
I'm not sure if it's a jeckyll & hyde situation or 'There is no catharsis...'

Lifting is vanity. Nobody gives a shit unless you're poor and there aren't more important criteria.

Having a decent body doesn't fix self esteem, unless you're shallow. If you're shallow, you won't end up with any women who aren't.

You never thought how I did, because you've never had money.

Regret being a loser in general if I you need to regret anything.

Fuck off. The better you feel about yourself the more self confident and happy you are. The happier you are the happier people are to be around.

Lifting isn't about vanity you fucking idiot.

I have plenty of money. That's why I now "have time" for lifting, and I've discovered it really doesn't take much time at all.

Lifting makes you feel better. It makes you think clearer. It makes you healthier. It makes your posture better. It making you more physically attractive is just a bonus. The people who lift solely to get girls? Yeah, they fucking fail.

>I got to a point where I paranoia got so fucked up I would hide if my doorbell or phone rang.

Different user

>tfw this was your entire childhood.

My parents didn't want to interact with people so bad, we once hid behind our coach while police knocked on our door while trying to evacuate us for a bad flood. I clearly remember couching down while flashlights shined through the curtains and my dad holding a finger up to be quiet.

Sorry, got triggered I guess. This is why I usually lurk. In everything.

I failed. Fuck I'm high and on mobile.

No, you don't.

People with money have useful hobbies. Yachting. Golf. Think places that have clubs.

Lifting is about vanity. It doesn't help in any aspect of you're life if you're already successful.

Nobody cares, unless you're poor, and there aren't more important criteria.

You're a waste of time. Middle class masquerading as someone with true agency in life.

Loser. Incredibly easy to spot.

Attitude is something you need to work on despite ups and downs. Lifting doesn't change who you are, unless you're shallow.

This isn't difficult. Take your time swallowing.

27, dating a 38 year old. Life is ok

Except for dating your mom, practically.

Either of those useful
>mfw

>he thinks country clubs don't have gyms

Are you legally retarded?

Some of us like older women. Better then Rosie Palms

Dating 38 year old here . I think me and you would get long irl.

Well I am 33 and drunk as shit. How are you?

How do you pick up older women? I've been fucking newly printed 18 year olds for a while now and I'm kinda over them but recently I've been very interested in fucking an older women. late 30s early 40s

>Being poor

Hasn't been my experience.

But, it's cool you have a reaction folder.

Context.

Makes it easy to spot poor people.

next time, don't.

>People with money have useful hobbies. Yachting. Golf. Think places that have clubs.
>Yachting
Fair enough
>Golf
See, this is how I know you're full of shit. Golf club? Sure. Golf itself? Fuck no.
>Lifting doesn't help in any aspect of you're life if you're already successful
You expect me to believe you're successful in life yet can't use the proper form of "your"?
Lifting makes you healthier. No matter how rich or poor you are, better health is always good.

You sound like the one who's bullshitting about their wealth. You can't buy a healthy body, you can only spend money to maintain an unhealthy one.

Tinder. And concerts.

basically find a girl who is recently divorced and remind them of what their husband was like when they first got married

You know how I know you don't know what you're talking about?

Maybe had you said that about the yacht club. But you would have to know to know, wouldn't you.

Lifting is about vanity. It isn't about health. Don't tell people you regret lifting because you weren't taking good care of your health.

People can read your previous posts, you tryhard latte maker.

This is perfect. I wonder if there's a site for newly divorced cunts.

Hm.... Causal dating sites over long term.. Not POF. I'm pretty sure the last thing a girl who has been sucking the same dick for a decade wants to do is find another dick to suck for another decade

Are you seriously trying to argue that lifting has no health benefits?

You can't possibly be that retarded, can you?

...

Same shit here. Fucking social anxiety. I just don't know what to do. You know, life outside is better but you still don't want to go out. Maybe i hate people or something.

>he thinks even 1/4 of golf club members actually play golf

lmao

Quit horsing around

Actually none too bad. Bullshit fuels my life and I'm growing incredibly efficient a burning my way through it.

these digits must mean
is wrong

I'd love to get a girlfriend but I have emotional issues. I cant get close to anybody. it's the old adage of being uninterested in someone if they're interested in me

I was such a nice person 2 years ago. fuck you all. suck a dick.

Feeling weird, tried to tell my mom tonight how much I exercised today so she won't think I'm such a piece of shit, but she turned it around on me and said I probably didn't exercise that hard (hard enough so you smell like ammonia because of not enough carbs blah blah)

Its like shes more comfortable with us fighting so she looks for ways to pick fights.

Truth is, i was an asshole before the Army. They just molded me into the complete, unadulterated asshole I am today.

I'm arguing that you said you regretted not lifting. You, clearly, didn't regret because you didn't take care of your health.

You're pretending lifting isn't about vanity when you were very clear, from the beginning, it was a regret. Confirmation bias enters and you begin to argue health benefits.

Clearly, lifting can benefit. I know a number of people who love their doctor, get their T, and enjoy their physiques. But that doesn't exist, because the impetus for most people who haven't lifted their whole lives is vanity.

>trolling!

Find the right woman, from the right family, and you don't have to worry.

That salary is pretty nice for a working man. Well done.

30 here, I should be doing better than I am.

career success and money in order, but I have spent the past year avoiding people. I don't want another relationship, and I only see the worst in the new people I meet, and the folks I used to rely on have all deeply let me down recently. and I don't even ask much of anyone.

I had this idea as a kid that life got easier at some point, lol

naw your mom just got raped and couldn't afford foster care.

Wear a condom guys.

>I'm arguing that you said you regretted not lifting. You, clearly, didn't regret because you didn't take care of your health.
>everyone in this thread who agrees with you is the same person

Is this your first day on Cred Forums or something?

I mean shit even if I was him, yes faggot, lifting from 16+ onwards would be greatly beneficial to your long term health

Please be trolling.

Not that guy but take the approach to someone new like you think Sherlock Holmes might if he wasn't super autistic. Notice shit about their person. If it relates to something you like or is striking enough a thing to be worth a question or two, go ask about it and immediately follow up their answer to your question with your efforts in that area.

>Man, did that piercing hurt a lot?
>Not really
>A friend of mine got a piercing like that but in the middle of the lip. Can't think of the name though. Lebrie? Lebeouf? LEBRAY! That's it!
Go from there.

>Context
>What is it?

Go searching, sped.

You can make that much money as well if you are willing to travel, and work under really shitty conditions.

Terrible.

Haven't been able to find a job despite looking for the past two years. Living in a place that should be condemned as it's all I can afford. Can barely afford to eat. Feeling useless. I just want to break out of this rut.

I think you mean you were an asshole for the army.

Yeah you love being in the front faggot.

It's cool I got it.

The point is not to turn this into a pissing contest of who's had it worst. There is no point, the outcome is the same for all of us regardless.
[spoiler] You hid with your parents [/spoiler]
[spoiler] I hid from mine [/spoiler]

Moving forward, finding fulfillment without socializing or engaging in social obligations of any kind seems all but impossible unless traveling the world sounds great to you. (I prefer comfort and don't see much appeal in it) Capacity for intimacy is undermined and therefor made unlikely at best but you may still yearn for it, ensuring a lifetime of resentment on that front.

Where does that leave people like us?
Either we become power hungry sadists or hermits living in the woods writing manifesto's and shit or we shitpost here for as long as we are able while trying and failing everything else that comes on our paths over and over and over.

I don't know either man.

>27
>living with parents to financially survive welding school
>6 months to go before I stop needing unemployment

25yo, merried with loli looking girlfriend who just graduated chemistry from university. Have 130k$. Going my other year in computer-engineering program. Things feel like their supposed to be good but feel pretty shitty everyday..

What is your trade? What type of work are you looking for?

aye yaaaaa user.

Givin me shivers...

Give yourself more credit. If it were that easy, everyone would be doing it. The fact is, anecdotally, most people don't like the job they do, and if they do, they don't like their management, and if they do, etc.

You reached a level that is difficult for others to reach. You have innate value; innate ability.

Good on you. The world is full of possibilities, for you, even when you're in a valley.

Well the green weenie did fuck me up the ass quite often...

25 virgin. fuck you whores.

I'm the fuckin man.

Does your name start with N?

Looking for a desk job, computer work. I have an injury so I can't do manual labor or stand all day.

I do have background in that field and some college. Just have been out of work for a long time due to the injury and trying to re-enter the workforce. After 15 years.

Sorry

Thanks man. Truth is though, a 24 year old with an associates in IT and a clean criminal record makes twice my salary in Afghanistan. If people only knew the types of gov contracts that are out there.

This is a depressing thread....

So heres some tits from my ex

you sound like that dropout faggot andrew who just married that hot asian girl. 'i just know ppl bro, my dad started my buddies company for him and i just ride that'

What certificates or degrees do you hold? Do you have a clean criminal record?

Checked

Another

>
>The point is not to turn this into a pissing contest of who's had it worst.

Sorry, I didn't mean it like that. It's all relative and comparing shitty lives sounds like an awful time to me. I over share sometimes and that line spurred me to go into ramble mode is all.

>Where does that leave people like us?
>I don't know either man
Yeah...

I'm just trying to view things positively, in day to day,segments and not dwell on things too much

PRETTY GOD DAMNED FUCKIN SHITTY! I AM 20 FUCKING 7 ! NO JOB HAVENT HELD ONE LONGER THAN TWO YEARS < LIVE WITH PARENTS < NO KIDS NO GF FOR TWO FUCKING YEARS AND EVERY FUCKING THING I SEE ON TV MAKES ME PISSED THE FUCK OFF!!!!!!

None unfortunately, just a few semesters of college for software engineering. So mainly looking for entry level stuff, like Excel or w/e, not trying to pull some coding job. Clean criminal record. Previous work experience plus some volunteer work doing computer stuff.

I have other issues, like depression and self-image issues my entire life. Kissless virgin wizard, no friends, etc. I've had chances with girls though at least, just not meeting anybody anymore.

>NO GF FOR TWO FUCKING YEARS
slut

Fuck it. Check out dangerzonejobs.com. they list every contract company currently operating in the world.

I should clarify, I had a girl climb on my dick when I was half-asleep and I pushed her off me because she was a prostitute. She still tried to charge me.

Well young, virgin fag... i am here to help. Contract companies are always hiring for IT. My company Academi had like three opening in Moyock a while back and there are always new entry level positions popping up in Germany, Korea and Japan. Keep checking dangerzonejobs.com and usajobs.com

36. I have a house and an ok job, shitty but functional car. I pretty much just keep dealing with life to try to keep it from getting worse, but I mostly feel like everything is already over.

There is nothing to look forward to, and even if there were something I really wanted in life, I never feel good or enjoy anything very much anyway, so who cares.

I may keep breathing a while longer, but I feel like life is pretty much over already.

>still watching tv.

There are far more enjoyable ways to spend time, the internet has everything, for news just subscribe to a bunch of rss feeds.

You sound like an autistic chad...

Seriously guys, don't listen to this cunt. Get on Tinder, if a bitch doesn't seem interested in you kick her to the curb and move onto the next. When you find a bitch who seems as interested in you as you are in her, then sex is the inevitable conclusion...

Buy her a drink... that only works in the movies mate, no girl goes out to get laid. They go out with their friends to reject men as a method of propping up their failing self esteem. You'll never get a slut while she's surrounded by other sluts so don't waste your time or money.

Oh my god,that's really fucking sad user,i feel so bad for you,seriously...but you have to keep on living m9!

What,da,fuck

I do not understand mobile posting

I have moved past dwelling and resenting the past, the problem is being around people or being bound by social obligations is draining to such an extent that all constructive efforts are undermined by it and I get no further in life.

Yeo, sounds about right.

NB: This advice not applicable for Firemen and richfag supermodel types.

My life is basically like a racetrack that I'm trying to drive on like everybody else, but I'm constantly hitting the side wall like Thunk, thunk, thunk. It is slowing me down just enough to make it annoying.

Can't stop thinking about a very stupid relation I had to a woman 4 years ago. It was very shallow so to speak but it was my first and only relationship that I have had.
I want her very much but it will pan out in a bad way. It was that stupid. Oh well, I got to first base almost.
My whole life have been a shit-show from the start and along comes this woman and I was allowed to be almost human for a while.

I have money to last me for awhile but I'm a frugal fuck.

Thanks for your time if you read all this. My thoughts scatter in wind every time I try to write something like down.
