Hows the job hunt going lads?
>Graduated with a degree in electrical engineering
>have applied to well over 700 jobs at this point
>have had 10-15 interviews tops, all either reject me with "we're looking for someone with more experience" or just outright never contact me again
>Have went to dozens of networking events, gave out my business card to loads of people, none have bothered keeping in touch
>14 months since I've graduated, not even close to getting a job
I'm at my wits end here pretty much. They say getting a job is a lot like dating, and I guess the analogy could not relate more to my situation. I don't even know what the fuck to tell an employer if they ask "what have you been doing these 14 months since graduating". Looking for a fucking job what do you think, no wait you want me to lie and say I've been building a jetpack just to tell me "oh that's nice" and never contact me again.
The hell was even the point of getting a degree if no one wants to hire fresh grads?

>Enrolled for EE
Am I fucked?

What jobs you applying for. Are they are engineering related?
>>38493864
Do coop or something. Be friends with your prof. Honestly don't know if networking in school would have helped, but you may as well try while you still can.

All electrical engineering jobs. They all specify an EE degree needed.
I wanted to post about this for so long but never had the chance.
Basically what i noticed is that I simply don t connect with people at all. I thought at first that it was due to me becoming more and more reserved as I grew, which lead others to alienate me, but that s not the case. Now that I think about it I've never had a friend in my whole life . I don't even believe in the concept of friendship because I only see it as people using each other in real life and not as the noble thing it is described as in literature.
I would like to know why no one reaches out to me .If I don't send that first text I'll never get a message, and the very terrible thing is sometimes I would think so much about what to say in a text to make it funny or unusual but I won't even get a reply. Same with conversations with people, if I don't keep it going (by basically interviewing them even though I couldn't give less shit about their lifes and opinions) it stops and silence reigns, these same "silent" people would become talktive with others (anyone but me, even strangers that they don't know).
and even people that pretend to be my "friends" are never actually there for me, I can feel that the others are all united and see that they cooperate between them but if I ever needed anything no one would offer me their help.
Can we have friendless robots thread ?

You say this, then say you are surprised your "friends" aren't there for you and don't message you first, try to help you, or give a shit about your life or opinions. You sound narcissistic and like you lack empathy. Friendship is a two way street and it doesn't go anywhere if you are a shitty person.
Connecting to somebody is about prediction. You get to know the person, what they say in certain situations, how they think, you become aware of their mental state, what triggers what, etc. The more you can predict, the more comfortable and connected you feel around them. Validation feels good, even if its subconscious. You predict how the person will react subconsciously, and when they do, you feel good around them.

I knew someone would get caught up on this . What I'm saying is that even though I feign interest in others, no one takes interest in me . and there are some people that I truly wished to know more about but I got the same treatement.
>>38493947
I think that I misuse this prediction thingy because I explicitly state what they are going to do next which only makes people mad because no one wants to feel predictable.
why does the thought of childhood things make me sad? seeing kids play makes me sad, seeing kids ask for things ESPECIALLY makes me sad. and no, it's not the "u feel regret 4 ur childhood an u want 2 be a kid again" shit, i don't. anyone here relate?
It's the passage of time, you don't necessarily want to be a kid again but you know the fact you never will be a kid again means you are closer to death, the great empty nothingness at the end of the winding road of life
I feel this, something to do with innocence I think. When I see a grandparent out with a grandchild I feel especially sad or bittersweet or something. I think it relates to my relationship with my family members and my memories with them, and how time affects that, but I dunno.

Those of you who have had sex: how does it feel now? Are you aware of it? Do you think about it? Can you remember the exact feeling? Is there a certain feeling that reminds you that you've had sex?
I have had it and it's like I don't remember. As if the fact that I did was tucked away and stashed behind plenty of layers and it seems like something hazy in my memory.

>listen to uplifting music about getting through life even when it's tough or whatever
>makes me sadder than sad songs
what
is there literally no fucking escape
>>38318979
Just listen to the sound of a clicking drive it's dying like us.
Sad songs just feel more realistic, like they accept things for what they are, and the artists aren't just lying to themselves.
