I'm 25 and starting to realise i have squandered my younger potential. If i had been less self conscious i could have been something, in a band or something.

I'm 25 and tied down now to a full time job and a life of repetition and i dont think im ever gonna be anything at all. I literally cannot be think back to being a teenager without getting stressed.

>>11539445
I turn 25 in a month.

Fuck.

>>11539445
You have another 5 years to be picking up girls at clubs and fucking around. 30 is the settle down age.

>>11539508
Exactly and before i know it I'll be 30.

I'm just bummed I'll never span the globe in band i guess

>>11539337
Nothing to do with fashion.

>>11539513
seriously, im 25 and feel like i was 20 just last month... shit went by sooo quick i wouldnt be surprised if hit 30 next month

>>11539445
you know how many people would love to be 25 again?

>>11539516
it's /fa/ lifestyle

>>11539513
you could if you wanted to? many have started way later bro. with that attitude youll never be shit though...

>>11539505
I turn 24 in Sep and I

>still live with parents
>still a virgin
>still unemployed

Give me a good reason not to kill myself.

>>11539561
>2/3
Well, I lost my virginity at 24 so you have something to look forward to.

>>11539561
its pretty normal for a 24 yr old to still be living at their parents these days. Most of my friends that are 23/24 still are

>Want nothing more than to end the pain
>Killing myself means killing my mom
>Causes more pain
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck...

ITT: a bunch of self loathing pessimists who dont have any real problems other than going on 4chan too much.

>>11539529
The passage of time actually depresses me. I think its called chronophobia or something but when i think at the years gone by and how ive done nothing im too proud of, it bums me out.

>>11539536
Its not even just me. I need other people with similar interests and as i hard as i try i dont seem to find any. I keep searching but I'm starting to lose hope, man.

So tired, no interest in anything, stink like shit because i have no energy to shower
On antidepressants and scared I'll be on them for the rest of my life

Where is the happiness bros


Fucking losers who think depression is /fa/ have never been through depression, underage faggots

i should be writing an abstract right now

>>11539592
Well yeah, of course these aren't 'real problems', but at a certain point the pessimism and inability to get anything done becomes a real problem in itself, and the lack of any explanation for it makes the self-loathing worse. It's a mental trap.

This has nothing to do with fashion, where are the mods?

>>11539592
Try google "clinical depression"

>>11539617
I know what depression is, "Being 25" isnt what real depression is

>>11539626
What do you think real depression is?

>>11539634
not being able to be happy or feel anything regardless of where youre at in life

depression is the medicalization of having a negative existential realization. nobody who truly knows anything about life does not struggle with it. this is not meant to romanticize or make intellectual the struggles of depression. idealism, absurdity, and beastly compounding circumstances doom us all to a depressive living.

>>11539610
Yep, and threads like this don't help. It's basically a bunch of sadbrains feeding each others' woe-is-me bullshit, thereby making the problem worse.

That's why I can't help but to swing into these threads and bitch at people occasionally - circle-jerking over how hard life is doesn't do anything but make it harder.

i think i don't know how to make friends anymore
it's amazing how i crave friendship and closeness so much yet i cannot let anyone into my personal space because i am nervous and don't want them to hurt me as well as i don't want to hurt them by abrupt friendship stop (i did it sometimes when i felt something was wrong, no words nothing, now i feel guilty for it)
it will soon be 2 years since i had actual friends
2 fucking years

>>11539611
theres not even a wdywt thread
this board has been dead for a while

today i had one of those "it's all pointless" realisation which usually marks the beginning of my frequent spirals into depression

i'm good looking someone teach me how to be less socially anxious and confident before it's too late
i'm dying inside

>>11539652
Sometimes its easier to profess it anonymously online then tell your friends and family how you feel.

Clinically depressed
Im outgoing, im awkward and say stupid things but i dont give a stain. People either love me or hate me.
Also have bipolar disorder, hear voices, etc. Weed and liq only help sometimes.

>>11539445
Same here
I'm 30 and every night I wish I would wake up and be back in my home 15 years ago so I could make something of myself

>>11539337

JUST

>>11539445
There are no limits you can literally go anywhere you have at least 50 years ahead of you.

>>11539565
are you ugly or just really picky with girls ?

>>11539570
Just start doing drugs instead.
>>11539592
This
>>11539672
I struggle with this too. You have to realize "social anxiety" isn't real. People believe what you tell them, so pretend to be a confident chad and people will assume you are. Just be natural, don't overthink anything. And if people don't like who you really are then that's their problem, don't make it your problem.

>be me
>sit in the basement until my feet carry myself outside in hope to find a friend
>when outside, get paranoid and anxious, want to go home
>go home, regret that i didn't make any effort to even talk to a stranger

>see ugly couples frequently
>gives me hope
>see below average girls with decent looking guys once in while
>could probably get a bf if i went out more

>>11539799
trust me, if you have a vagina and are even semi remotely attractive you can get a bf

>>11539796
>talk to a stranger
i don't blame you cold approaches are risky.

try going to a concert by yourself thats what ive been doing and normies approach me some times. too bad i can't hold the conversation long enough without intrusive thoughts making me paranoid.

>>11539337
I'm terrified that I'm not good looking enough for the girl I'm interested in and that she's just settling for me at best and doesn't want to tell me how disappointed she is

We have tons in common and I think we compliment each other personality-wise, it's not easy for either of us to open up about anything but we can talk for hours. But I can't shake this feeling. I want to ask her if she finds me attractive at all, but I don't want to look even more insecure and I doubt she'd give me a totally truthful answer anyway.

Will I only know if she actually goes out of her way to pursue me back?

>>11539804
yeah thats what im starting to believe ive done some boarder line autistic things around guys and they barely care

the key is finding someone that doesn't just want sex which is very hard and time wasting actually

>>11539813
>want to ask her if she finds me attractive at all,
please for the love of god do not do that.
>Will I only know if she actually goes out of her way to pursue me back
YES.

I don't have any booze and I'm fucking losing it atm mental torment 24/7 and the booze is all that keeps me sane but because I don't work enough I don't have access to it at all times I am so close to just offing myself, I really wish I had a gun, it would have been done by now.

>>11539775
not that anon, but I'd like to believe I'm just picky

all of you guys need to leave the toxic mindsets that you have bc it's only breeding more unhappiness, regret, sorrow, self pity, etc...


all these posts are similar

you guys are dwelling on the past or present while being blindly unaware of the present.

the present moment is literally all you'll ever have, if you can be happy in the present then you can be happy forever

remember that happiness and contentment are found within you.

take a couple hits of acid, figure life out, start meditating afterwards and realize your true potential

Still can't grasp what's happened, literally cringing when trying to think about it.

>>11539775
Was extremely socially retarded and didn't begin to heal until I was 22 or so.

This

ITT people thinking their lives are over wth 25

Goddamn there are so many artists who started late, so many artists who turned successfull with over 30 years of age. Your whining and regret about your past decisions is the very own reason while you are still not living the life you want. Everything it takes is determination to do something. Make it your priority, go do some networking and you can at least have another passion another hobby to go after. You probably won't hit it big, but if it fullfills you more, than do it instead of regretting past decisions.

You are probably having 70 years, if not more ahead of you. You are going to live LONG. Stop your victim mentality, learn to think optimistic again, because that's what draws people to you and you work and start doing something.

>>11539604
It worked for me to jump over my shadow. Forcing myself to be spontaneous and do stuff I didn't want or felt not like to do. It helped me to get to learn new people, new things. After a few months of doing that I felt more and more happiness again.

>>11539869
>I'm just picky
then you don't get to complain about being a virgin
