First paragraph of each number is also a tl;dr.
1. I want to spend all my time sitting around drinking coffee but I want to be rich and spend all my time doing fulfilling and intellectual and fun work, which I'll need to work extremely hard to do, which makes me feel like I'm missing out if I ever do it.
And I recently moved to a giant city with better weather and much more to see. How do I fix this?
2. I'm 26 and have never had attention from women, flirted with one, or done anything with one at all, except for escorts.
I have zero friends. I'm not a Chad so I can't use online dating. I see women as living lives on easy mode.
3. My job is boring. I work in an office and it took a few days for me to be the ugly loser loner beta pathetic guy of my section of the office that nobody talks to. This is typical but it's the first time I've had an office job with other young people. Has anyone else had this experience?
4. I feel like every viewpoint is an attack on me. I trust my intuitions, intelligence, and taste. There are ten trillion people saying you have to read boring old books (and claim they're incredible) or else you're an idiot. "Go through SICP before you do any programming or you're an idiot. Follow current events or you're an idiot. Drink coffee or tea. Go travelling. Use Facebook." How do people cope?
It seems that any attempt to live life according to your tastes gets you ostracised or deemed stupid. I know companies push this to sell shit, but most people are pseudo intellectuals that worship academia and the media as a cult, along with creating their own cults. I simply want to read 10 pages of Great Expectations and throw the book away out of boredom without being called stupid.

>worship academia
You mean pseudo-academia, the "wanna feel smart but not have to strain my brain too much" subjects.
Mostly, no one cares wtf you do op. Why do you care if other people care anyway?

Welcome to being a virgin over 20! There are plenty of us here on 4Chan.

Awesome, fresh start. Now GET. A. LIFE.
Having a nine to five job gives you money, so use that money. Have fun. Pick up some cool classes, join a club (some kind of artistic workshop or something), start going out to meet people.
The only person my age at my job is my bosses son, and he doesn't like me. So I do my job, get my money, and then have fun with it after hours.
Also, check your outlook towards life. I see a lot of spite in this post. Towards people in general and women in specific. Just a heads up: People don't like to hang out with those that hate them before they even get a chance to speak. So give people a try. Not all of them are crap.

He cares because he wants to be accepted, he just said he never gets attention from women and has no friends.
You might be interested in this article though.

Really, he seems to hate people with a passion, specially women. Why would people pay attention to him if he will just treat them like crap?

Part of being human is wanting acceptance into a group.

And the group wants you to accept them.

i know you're a /lit/ard, but if you haven't already, i genuinely recommend you to get used to selfhelp books. they are basically philosophy but broken down into actionable advice you can use in everyday life. ofc you should filter the content, but they can be quiet helpful.
you also should spend more time learning about how humans work. read freud. or get into early childhood development. it will help you gain a bigger picture and see where you're standing and how to get to where you WANT to stand.

I think I understand what OP is saying. There are lots of things I know about that I doubt I would ever know except that other people expect it. We could be talking about some news issue and inside I would be like "I actually don't give the slightest shit, I would rather be playing this videogame." or whatever.

Great, but no man's an island. You can't live by yourself playing video games. At least not if you want friends and dates.
And people make a big deal out of the whole "news" thing. Sometimes just saying "this damn strike made me late for work!" is enough conversation about "the news", because then you can use some other lateness or public transport related anecdote to steer the conversation away.
