Really difficult to stay motivated. Like you said, everyone our age is already established, homes, kids etc. And just the other day I saw the only gf I had who dumped me for being a sperg just got engaged.

At what point are people going to stop telling me it gets better.

I found I became very content with everything when I gave up on everything. I don't give a fuck about how anyone else my age is doing anymore desu.

Oh man we have a bit too much in common, right down to the nose rash and eyebrow flakes. A tip from me; wash your hair with Nizoral, use sulphur soap on your skin and when you can afford it get a dermalight. The dermalight is goddamn amazing for sorting out seborrheic dermatitis.

Could be worse I guess. I've got my health and an unfulfilling but decent desk jockey job. Was going to go into the city this weekend to walk around the park but there's a hipster music festival (SXSW) for the next nine days so I guess I'll just pace around my house until the skies open up and suddenly everything is fun and great like when I was a little kid again.

Lol whats the matter NEETS, you want the superior life of the wagecuck?

I'm so desperate I can't even get a fast food gig. Are temp agencies a meme?

I'm 27 and waiting to get into rehab for alcoholism but it's been months and still nothing. Becoming very discouraged.

Temp agency positions are way better than fast food jobs.

>>35434678
You have to live in a big city if you want to get enough work to pay bills.

>>35434753
I've done those and I'll never work for a staffing agency ever again. Those are the most exploitative and crooked places you can work for. I'd advise everyone that has not worked for one but is considering it to stay away. Don't fall for it.

Have you ever worked in retail? It's common for places to understaff to save money and overwork everyone like fuck.

Temp agencies are like that but with manual labor that will destroy your body.

You're basically signing up to be a slave for some place whose staff already can't keep up with their workload and so they're dumping it all on you.

my advice is go to a temp agency job and work at a warehouse. aim to learn using a forklift and then transfer to a better warehouse paying job. There's no real ''interview'' process. they just want you to be reliable.

>>35434955
Yeah, I did. I think what really irks me the most is that I did everything that society told me as a kid. I never did drugs, I stayed in school, a got a four year degree and yet I'm worse off than a guy at the same age who did drugs, dropped out of school and never graduated. I frankly have no idea what to do except to keep on trying to pass. It all seems so hopeless.

>>35434022

I was in the exact same position as you at 26. Stopped being able to even play video games because they stopped being fun at all and they just felt like work.

I started taking prereq classes for grad programs in physical therapy and got accepted and am starting next summer.

I'm a sperglord. I'm socially awkward. Everyone can tell I'm weird. But with enough exposure and practice I can keep it together enough to not be completely retarded. I used my autism to ace all my classes and get recommendations to get into grad school. When I graduate I'll make $80k+ guaranteed just stretching old people in a nursing home or helping people walk again in a hospital.

>>35436001
Thanks anon. I appreciate the advice! I've seen a couple of those job too during my job search (mainly on usjobs.gov) and I've applied but I still haven't sought for an interview. All I can do is keep trying I guess.

>I'm 23 and I have no job experience

Nigga this is 25+ general. But anyways, if you have zero work experience, just lie on your resume. I was in the exact same situation, so I just made up a propane company that I "worked" at for 4 years until they went out of business. As for references, just buy a couple burners and make up some names. The place I was interviewing was calling my fake boss at the fake propane company to get a feel for me, so I just told them everything they wanted to hear about a prospective employee. Since everyone sounds different over the phone, they never figured it was me. I got hired a few days later.

Agreed. They pay above minimum wage, and are perfect stepping stones for another permanent job in a similar setting. My assignment was only supposed to be 3 months, but they kept me on for 18 months. Gave me plenty of time to pull my resources and find a job with similar qualifications

I don't know if I can really call myself a robot, but just wanted to whine and contribute to a 25+ thread:

>27
>virgin, only ever went on one date where I was so nervous I got drunk before it and ruined it
>have a job, live alone

I wake up, work, drink, sleep. I have a few really close friends, but I fear they will all leave me. One of my best friends has a wife and 2yr old daughter, and I see him maybe once every 2 months. Another has a wife, I fear once he has a kid they'll fade out of my life, too. 2 more are engaged. They represent ticking timebombs of me descending into some middle-aged friendless loneliness.

I remember a party a few years ago, drunk people in a circle, someone said, "alright what's your greatest fear?" People said things like "heights" or "spiders" - I said, "losing everyone I care about." Someone said, "damn, getting serious here" and there was a moment of silence. I remember that so sharply.

My sister moved out of state a decade ago, and started a family. I have a nephew. I talk to her maybe once per year. We have nothing in common.

My parents moved even farther away. We talk on the phone maybe once every two months. Other than my few friends who keep starting families and disappearing, I've got no one in my life.

My job is easy. I sit at a desk and do stuff that hasn't challenged me for years. But it pays my bills and affords me anti-homelessness and alcohol.

My high school 10yr reunion is coming up. I went to the 5yr, and didn't recognize a single person there. I only interacted positively with a small clique of people, none of whom showed up. I don't know why I am going to the 10 year one.

I regularly think about dying, alone, and unknown. Work will wonder where I am, and contact my parents who are emergency contacts. They'll panic when they cannot reach me. Cops will enter my home to find a several-days-dead corpse. The end.

>>35436196
First time I've seen him but now that I know I'll ignore him the future. Thanks for the heads up.

>>35435334
yep, signed up for a warehouse job with a temp agency. They said we'd only have to walk 7 miles/day. Ended up having to walk 20 miles/day. I was only getting paid minimum wage too. This entire time these fatfuck managers would walk up to you and tell you you're not hitting your KPI targets. They lied about a bunch of other things too but yeah you're basically a slave.

This is basically how I was treated

>>35436379
No problem. I work in a hospital setting, and our area is plagued by meth heads, so you need to be able to muscle someone into submission should the need arise. We had a tall, albeit skinny security guard who was let go because he couldn't subdue a 40yo drunk white lady. Said lady ended up biting him on the arm, then scratching a nurse in the face.

My sister's bf is short and skinny and worked as mall security, so there's still hope. How's your driving record? There are several security jobs that only require you to drive around for 12 hours, reporting anything suspicious to your local sheriff and nothing more. Look for positions open for gated communities

>>35434022
Protip: job interviews are just tests of intelligence or charisma, whichever the job requires. They also care about looks to an extent and work ethic too, which none of you have but you could work on. The thing about work ethic is you can't prove it with no job experience, but that's also a test of intelligence or charisma because everyone just lies about it. Make up a story about how you started your own ebay market and paid off your car and apartment with it.

>Real world problems as in shit your parents can't bail you out of?

Correct. In one year, I had to do my own taxes for the first time, buy a new car because I totaled my old one, schedule several appointments with an assortment of doctors, apply for a trade school, shop around for insurance, and find a roommate who would be fine with me having 0 credit. Half of those were panic-inducing, but the more you are forced into the situations, the more you'll mature

>Make up a story about how you started your own ebay market and paid off your car and apartment with it.
Make up plausible but unverifiable experiences if you're gonna lie. You'd be dead in the water if the interviewer pried further, especially when it might pique their interest.

If all you are doing is working 40 hours a week, you won't need to worry about that. The people always complaining about having no time for vidya have poor time management skills, and the people who are saying they are too tired for vidya are either getting too little sleep, or not eating right

>>35436980
Nah I never went to a recruiter. Thats cool that its 27 instead of 24. I remembered the wrong cutoff number. I was 28 when I lost my teaching job. 32 now, Id probably never have enlisted anyway, Im too terrified of change.

>>35437041
I feel bad for you for finding this place. I didn't find it until after college. Back when I actually went to parties and had a life.

fuck off, keep your shit opinions to yourself

In one of my first CS courses there was a 60-70 year old dude who apparently worked on some of the older intel x86 processors. He would talk to the teacher about it sometimes (the teacher used to work for the military as a programmer). It was kinda cool. This was at a community college though.

It really bothers me that all the women +25 have been absolutely degraded sexually. I don't want to court a toilet.

I remember 27 as being the age I started panicking, thinking I was officially in my late 20s now.

>>35437120

I'm drinking by myself but I got a 200 dollar check from my grandma today so I'm okay

they're good i guess. the state guy told me to see my typing skills are the same because i got a brain injury. the brain injury effected my right side of my body. the brain injury is on my left side, it effects the other side of someone's body. for a while my right arm and leg didn't work.

>>35437168
the way I think of it I won't be there until 28. That keeps me in a good state of mind

>>35436917
The main thing is getting a job that I don't absolutely hate, it is still bad but it gives me a purpose and has real challenges that give real payoffs when they are overcome. Of course I know it's all meaningless and i'm basically a slave but it's still infinitely better than when I was a neet or had a job that I felt didn't allow me to improve myself in what I felt was a meaningful way.

I feel like i've done a lot of self reflection and self therapy that really helped me sort my mind out and get over all the existential angst, I don't know where i'm going but atleast I know the way forward.

I'm also a christfag now who doesn't believe in god.

My teens are over, I didn't live like one. My bother and sister when at my age went to parties, and clubs, having parters where in my teens I played vidya with lego wasn't invited to parties and hardly left the house. I started going it will change at 18 nothing has changed. I got 35 atar despite trying because tarded. I know I've had it much easier than a lot of people here, parents weren't abusive, friends, still happy. But I'm scared that I'll end up like someone that was hoping it got better over the years but ending up depressed and in a hole.

>>35434022
I'm in the phase after the one you're in. That is I'm:

>32
>unemployed
>still living with parents
>HHKV
>severe illnesses that prevent me from doing much of....anything. I can't even take my grandmother to the grocery anymore.

I want you to take my advice here to heart: do not let this get worse. You are at the cross-roads. Forget all that stuff you mentioned about the lives of your friends and feeling sorry for yourself because you don't measure up to them. Be concerned with YOUR life. YOUR health. The signs you've mentioned show that various unhealthy factors like sitting all the time, poor diet, lack of exercise (although you mentioned going to the gym so that is good) will begin to mount up as time goes by and you will age more quickly and soon enough you'll get some kind of injury or illness that you won't be able to come back from like a normal person because you won't have the emotional support system necessary for it.

Don't go down the dark path. Please. Please I am begging you. Your only problem right now is you lack the confidence to just open your mouth and speak to people about your issues and get help. If you don't take action now in a few years you will deeply, deeply regret it and wish more than anything you have ever felt in your life that you had just tried.

I'll prolly end it all soon.

I got a job doing home health care for my mom, which i was already doing for free for almost a decade. 9 dollars an hour, whoopdeedo, but I guess it's better than nothing, even if it's only a few hours a day, 60hours a month in total. I still hurt all the time, doing anything is agony but my doc won't prescribe me anything for it since a lot of folks around here are opiate addicts. I hate being treated like I did something wrong when I have no criminal record whatsoever.

Despite having this job(or going to have it once they do my criminal background check and whatever,) I still feel like i'm years behind everyone else with their college degrees and good jobs and moderately happy lives. Not even sure I would want to put up with the trouble of having a family or wife or g/f at this point because after seeing how my own parents interacted over the years and how shitty all the women are.....fuck that, I'll just save my money for a loli sex doll and pretend its my daughter and have tea parties and play dress up with.

I just wish my shrink and therapist would quick lying and saying shit's going to get easier. Been hearing that bullshit line since I was a kid and it hasn't gotten easier, it's only gotten worse and as soon as my mom dies that's it, I have nothing else to live for and blowing my brains out will be the only option left for me. I'm tired. So fucking tired. If I had a painless suicide pill in my hand right now I'd pop it as soon as this post was completed.

It started setting in around 27/28 and now I'm staring at thirty a month from now and it's more of a question of "when in the next decade do I kill myself."

I'm pretty fucking dumb, but how much of the content in this thread is due to these two things?

Not enough irl interaction with male peers and male role models.

Not enough irl conversation with people (male or female) who are honest and candid about their own experiences with failure.

I feel increasingly alien. I don't want friends, or a girlfriend, or to move out, or a high paying job. In fact, I want to be entirely divorced from society and capitalism, to the point that I've considered not using electricity. My companions are alcohol and whoever shows up in my dreams. I don't understand why people do and want certain things, and can't contribute to a worldly conversation because I don't care enough about the things other people do to learn about them. I want to go back to my home planet; wake up in the real world, away from whatever you all are.

Dont forget to add in thinking facebook is an actual representation of how other people live.

It's cherrypicked high points.

I know a guy who is married, owns a house, goes out every fortnight to the same lake we used to in highschool to party it up.

Reality: married too young, regrets marrying the girl, in too deep to realistically escape now. He's in debt because he bought a house without enough financial backing, struggling to make ends meet, no escape in sight. Throws 'parties' as a means of escapism and because he's become a borderline alcoholic due to his life situation. His friends are in the same boat.

Yet all you see is the picture of his house with his wife smiling for a photo.

tl;dr not many 25 year olds have their shit together, most are just floundering.

I'm in the same situation. My best friend has actually stopped logging into any of the things we'd communicate with. He hasn't responded to texts or messages on discord/steam/Skype. I get really sad when I think about this because I'm losing the only friend I've had for over a decade. Last time he did this he found a gf and completely ignored me until they broke up.

People recognize me all the time around my area because it's a small town, but I can never remember who they are. Everyday it feels like my memories are getting worse too. I can't remember many names or faces from college anymore. Everyday is just becoming a blur.

As opposed to what? Being alone, still having to slave at a job you hate anyway, still having to rely on escapism and drugs to cope anyway, and having no friends? Yeah that guy legitimately has it better.

That guy was just the first example in my head.

Several of my closest bros were heavily into business, knew exactly what they wanted in life before senior year of high school.

I was always so envious.

2 of them went to literally work on Wallstreet at major firms, they'd come back every once and awhile and wow me with their bank account and anecdotes. We still hung out, still like em.

Realistically, one of them has attempted suicide and quit the business, haven't heard from him in years. The other has been divorced 2 times at 25. Alcoholic. I've heard has a fairly serious drug habit from working the floors, Adderall specifically, but I've heard also a pretty serious cocaine habit to boot.

You should have done like one of my dad's buddies did. He went with his mom, got super fucked up to the point all he could do was drool and stay barely conscious, and his mom just told the judge 'this is one of his good days' and BAM, instant gubment money.

I had a hearing too, and the vocational expert literally told the judge I'd never be able to hold even part time work with my constant hospitalizations and medical needs.

I was denied.

>>35438296
Literally this

I never even attempted to find work until I was 22yo. Then graduated college and gained full time employment in 6 months despite never working a day in my life previously.

>>35438221
I'm 99% sure I got denied. The VE said I could return to past work, but that there were no other jobs I could perform after he expanded the list of my restrictions. The VE did flounder a little bit, but as I understand it if the VE said you can return to work, then you're pretty much done.

Attorney said I had a fighting chance, but I think he was just trying not to discourage me. One of the things I've considered is applying again when I get denied, but slashing my arms a while afterwards and getting flagged as dire need so the case gets addressed much faster. I don't want to do it, but I figure that's my best way. If I do it on the underside where my elbow meets my arm it won't hit anything important, but it'll look really bad and bleed seriously. Not doing the wrists because there's a lot of tendons and nerves to cut there that'd make me lose some of the use of that hand. I can't wait another 2 years just to possibly lose again.

>>35438303
>diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression
You dumb fuck that isn't actually a thing. It's not a disorder or disease you fucking inbred.

Anxiety and depression are simply reactions to things. You will have anxiety or be depressed about something. Usually that something is a fear you can overcome (it might be unemployment, loneliness, financial security etc).

t. have had extensive problems with anxiety and depression because I have an actual condition, autism

>>35438364

>i'm autistic
i believe you, champ.

>>35438400
Nah I'm not depressed anymore. I overcame it because I focused on the cause of my depression and found a way to solve the problem.

The autism created the problem which created the depression and that is an actual disorder that will always be with me.

I wish I was rich. Being alone and autistic wouldn't be so bad if I was born into money.

Your anxiety and depression may be different than the anxiety and depression someone else suffers.

>>35438341

Yeah, you probably did get denied, but that's not uncommon. The people i've talked to who have it said it took at least 4 times of applying before they got it, unless they have a letter from a doctor that says they can't.

You have to go to the psych unit A LOT to be considered as dire need. But hey, we all have to start somewhere I guess. Just go voluntarily a lot so you don't have to put up with waiting for the doc to let you out. I was in there for 9 days because they wouldn't let me go unless I signed some agreement forms that said i'd go to therapy and stuff like that. I did, even though it wasn't legally enforcable in any way.

Sounds like a good idea though, but I really hope you don't accidentally fuck something up and hurt yourself too bad. You can avoid the tendons in your wrists if you go up the artery and not across it. Call the ambulance before you do it, then when you hear them pull up, slice away so they'll be there to save you before any serious blood loss occurs.

I'd also suggest trying to find a lawyer who'll help you file(either for disability or SSI, whichever you're going for.) that only takes a cut of your backpay in exchange for their service. The great thing is you can keep filing over and over and over again without limit, so keep at it anon. If you have extensive medical history, i'd suggest digging the records up and sending them along with your application for SSI. When I applied, for example, they only looked back a few months instead of the 10+ years i've been dealing with my medical bullshit and was denied on that basis this last time.

I might also suggest doing what my dad's friend did if you can get another hearing. Not sure if you can though since I think it's a one time deal, but it might be different in your state. Sounds like the system is backed up where you are, you in cali or something like that?

I hadn't even said anything to justify him telling me to kill myself yet. But I sure as shit did afterwards.
Worst part is he's not even any better off than me. Sure, he may have a job, but he has kids that he can't possibly afford and a very expensive drug habit that's destroying his liver.

Well if you're married that means you have two streams of income which allows one to buy a house more easily then on one person's salary. Also, some governments give married persons tax breaks when they buy a home, so this may add on to the reason why your married friends all have houses.

Yeah, mine was just sick of my shit. The odd part is that I realized people really don't like it when you talk about your problems years ago, so I toned it down quite a bit.
Literally my only crime was not having a job, and feeling a bit sick one day and not wanting to go to the gym with him.

I don't really care though, he was kind of an asshole anyway. I had been thinking of ditching him for awhile now. Just didn't fucking expect him to tell me to go kill myself, especially since we had a close friend who offed himself a couple years back.

I don't think anyone deserves shit like this. I just think a lot of people are pretty horrible when it comes down to it.

Me too, famalam. I've tried everything. Salicylic acid, witchhazel, aloe vera, colloidal oatmeal cream, sorbolene, alpha hydroxy acid, apple cider vinegar, doxycycline antibiotics...

The only thing that's worked is hydrocortisone cream, but you can't stay on it because it's steroid based.

I've recently started using Cedel shampoo on my face though, which is 2% zinc pyrithione, and after about a week it's actually looking pretty good.

Oh, don't be silly. You can buy for that money in the outer western suburbs or move to somewhere commutable in one of the satellite cities around Sydney.

>>35440579

Sydney is far more expensive than Melbourne Ltd.
The median house price here is roughly $400k higher than Melbourne and the capital gains are far higher (Melb had 12% growth in the last year, Syd had 18%)

> and just paid 400k for a beautiful house in a lovely country town an hour and a half from the city

Kek, make your mind up, do you live in Melbourne or not?

And that means you are commuting a bare minimum of 3 hours per day. What part of this arrangement makes you think you have a good deal?

>Kek, make your mind up, do you live in Melbourne or not?

Are you legitimately intellectually impaired? I currently live in Melbourne. I have just purchased a house in the country and will be moving there. Are you really this incapable of following a basic conversation?

>And that means you are commuting a bare minimum of 3 hours per day. What part of this arrangement makes you think you have a good deal?

Where's the bit where I mention I'll be working in the city? Besides, if I wanted to, an hour and half on a comfy country train is far better than driving in gridlocked Melbourne or Sydney and taking just as long to get to work.

you shouldn't be envying them. the majority of people that "own" a house can barely afford it. they have mountains of debt and live paycheck to paycheck like good american goys. the only reason they were able to buy a house was because they only needed to put 3.5% down. when values go down (they will), everyone is going to be fucked. seriously I almost feel bad for them, almost.

a city or metropolitan area with a strong job market is desirable. not having to drive 10-20 miles to go grocery shopping. a choice of school districts including some good ones. basically mid range cost of living areas are the only desirable places lefts. if you want to live in CA/NY or other expensive regions, you'll spend 50% of your income on housing. if you want to live in LA/TN or other super low cost areas, well you'll spend most of your time drinking to pass the time. decent jobs don't exist in low cost areas, that's why they are low cost.

>>35436806
Yeah, don't listen to this retard.

I work in HR and used to do interviews. Any time someone brought up experience, I ALWAYS asked for references/pried.

If I caught you lying, you were immediately blacklisted from other nearby businesses. Also, if you gave me unverifiable experience/bogus experience like your own company, you're not getting the job. Lying and exaggerating are the last things we want, and there's much better ways to show intelligence and charisma, by, I don't know, actually having accomplished things and carrying yourself well in a conversation.

If you lazy fucking slobs don't have work experience, go volunteer, and MAYBE you'll get the job. You don't have a right to work, goobers. I wasn't there to give your poor life choices a pass.

>>35434022
