Try 25, turning 26 this year.

My 21st birthday feels like yesterday. Holy shit.

Don't waste time bros. It goes fast. I still feel like I'm 21; younger actually. I like to think I act and carry myself like I'm younger too. But it just sucks knowing that age does mean something and each year that goes by you will no longer have the opportunities to do (or at the very least it will no longer be socially acceptable to do) much of what you could do if your age was just a couple digits lower.

>>70638928
Yeah but couldn't he just be a nerdy kid who had a birthday lunch at his grandma's? My family still does "birthday lunches" with just our immediate family and my siblings and I are all in our 20's and successful. I'm trying to give the kid the benefit of the doubt.

>>70638968
where are all the other people?

i think most people do some kind of birthday thing even as they grow up, but looking literally suicidal while eating birthday cake alone with your grandma is not exactly the normal way for a "birthday lunch" to go down where i come from

getting laid is bafflingly easy. i know 2/10 slobs and turboneets who have gotten laid.

you literally just have to meet enough girls that eventually you come across one to fuck

>>70638968
People like going deep into the picture but a lot of people have small birthdays with their family like that

>>70639073
It's up to you what to do with that depression, you can just accept it as fate and not do anything, or you can try to use it as motivation to try to change things. Think to yourself if you want to be where you are in 10 years, then think to yourself how much more difficult it will be to get yourself out of where you are now, in 10 years. It will be WAY HARDER.

It took me until I was 23 but I finally had a moment where I'm just like I HAVE to start doing things other than sitting in my room all day, I HAVE to start meeting people and get a girlfriend. If I don't do it now I will be regretting it the rest of my life

It's still difficult because I don't have any friends so I have/had nothing to start with, and I've always been a homebody and stuff. But I did start going out on dates, and finally got a girlfriend at age 25.

We broke up so I'm back at square one but at least I have a lot more confidence.

Same. It hits home for me. My birthdays make me sad and I don't know why. It makes me sad to be celebrated for no reason. Every birthday, it happens.

>>70639159
>>70639165
I actually have friends, and me just having a few left that I still speak with is mostly my own choice. Right now I'm just finishing my high school online so that I can go to uni next year. Until then, I'll probably just keep smoking weed and doing nothing, because I live in a little shitty town

Also, for me getting friends is not the problem, I just have never gone beyond kissing a girl. Nothing makes me more nervous, I've literally been in a hot girl's room who showed interest for 3 hours, while I just kept talking about stuff. I'm so afraid of showing interest and initiate. I'm not even close to being clueless socially

One of the things I find the hardest to comprehend is how I read about so many people who've had one or more girlfriends, but are otherwise lonely and friendless. How the fuck can you initiate intimacy with a girl, but not find friends to chill with? It should be the opposite that's hard, which is also the case for me

>>70639423
also, the worst thing is that I'm not like this guy at all: >>70639190. I sure wouldn't mind to fuck girls, I'm just too anxious, fuck getting a girlfriend at first

>>70639163
see this post of mine: >>70639052

>>70639165

Since this is the feels thread:

I'm 26 and have failed all my attempts at a successful artistic career, be it in music or literature. I will never amount to anything and will probably have to settle for my horrifying office job in my third world country.

I have a girlfriend, I have friends and family that support me and I still feel empty inside. I do not wish to die without leaving my mark on this planet and nobody who was ever a successful artist started so late. Much less so from my shithole unimportant country nobody gives a fuck about. Why shouldn't I kill myself? Why keep on living??

All I ever wanted was to make a single album as good as >>70638534

My priority is getting a girlfriend who is also a friend, so I tend to focus on girls in social situations more than guys. Also, I met my girlfriend on OKC.

What are you afraid of exactly? STDs? Commitments? Not being able to keep it up or cumming too fast? I would love to be in your situation bro

>>70639549
Keep practicing your art, so when you have something to say, your craft will be ready. it's my best advice to 10 years ago me. also, meditate, exercise and eat better

>>70639165
I feel like I'm in this turmoil right now and I'm 25, and it's tearing me up inside, comes and goes in waves. I can go on a few weeks pretending I don't care, ignoring it but then it comes back and starts nagging at me. It gets worse every time it does. I think about death a lot, not suicidal but still, feels pretty dark.

I feel like I have to do something this year or it will eventually lead to me killing myself, I'm so weak but the thought of having accomplished nothing by the time im 30 is a way scarier thought than whatever hardships I will face out there in the real world as I try to fucking break my way out of this destructive and shit lifestyle I have going, where I have no friends, job or social life.

That fear of being alone and having nothing is becoming more and more real every day and time is just passing faster as every year goes by and it feels so hopeless and scary.

I hope I don't spend another year doing nothing again.

>>70639549
>nobody who was ever a successful artist started so late

Well, that's not exactly true. The success story of James Murphy was that he was just a lazy Brooklyn hipster until he was like 32. Leonard Cohen was in his 30s when he first started recording. Not the exact same but Matt Berninger didn't start The National until he was 30 or so.

>>70639549
>nobody who was ever a successful artist started so late
Then be the first one, faggot

Also is being successful that important? Do you have to be a top-40 artists or known by millions? You should focus on making something you're proud of, first, the rest may or may not follow but at least you'll be happy with what you've created

Keep working at it bro

>>70639052

I spent this new years eve completely alone by choice while my parents were at some friends of the family's house. I had two complete bowls of Reese's Puffs for dinner and went to bed at 9, watching anime. It was a bleak fucking experience knowing I could easily just go anywhere and consciously fighting this strange impulse that somehow I "had to have a good time" even though I really just wanted to be alone for one full fucking day. But I regret absolutely nothing.

>>70639621
The situation just intimidates me. I guess it's because I had really bad skin during most of my teen years, so I've kinda grown up getting used to being ugly, hating how I look and not really focusing on girls. Also, I really hated my small town school and the people there, so I didn't really have any of those stupid teenage "relationships". I basically don't understand how anyone would want to get intimate with me.

Also, that anxiety got really bad after I did way too many drugs, for a period of time my hands were literally shaking. Now I feel much better, but I'm also not around girls most days of the week, which will change when I go to uni.

The problem is, now all (normal) girls are experienced and I still get anxious as fuck. Alcohol makes me literally shake the day after, so it would be awkward as fuck waking up with a girl

I might sound like an antisocial wreck, but getting friends, if I want to, is really not a problem. I think I'm quite good at "faking" being normal, whenever I don't have to get too close to people (or at least girls).

So some of the things would be cumming too fast, disappointing the girl and generally, I just don't know all the unwritten "rules" about flirting and attraction. I mean I do intellectually after observing other people, but I don't have any experience with it, and thus, I'll still be a nervous wreck in an intimate situation.

>>70639741
And that sounds great, I spent my new years eve and night eating with my mom, listening to insanely loud music because other tenants in the building weren't at home and smoking weed. Didn't regret it at all, but that's still different from looking suicidal af while staring at a cake your grandmother gave you. I do concur, however, that you guys could just as well be right, it's just a picture

>>70639723

>Also is being successful that important?

It is to me but probably not in the way you say. It's not a fame or money, it's more about everything I wish to express being acknowledged by someone else. It sometimes is, by other people that are working directly in the same scene, but somehow they've all gone through moderately successful world tours except me (or any of my bands/projects)

>>70639848
Release shit. You never know. Bands like Clever Girl aren't well known. But to the people that do like their stuff they're amazing, inspiring, and sometimes life changing. Put your stuff out there and maybe someone will connect with it.

>>70639763
We're similar in a lot of ways, though I didn't do drugs or alcohol. Up until a couple years ago, I was terrified of entering social situations. Once I was there I was somewhat okay (nowhere near as "good" as I am now) but the leading up to it part was torture. Even just 2 years ago, I would literally start shaking and my armpits would start sweating when I would have to make a phone call to a store to check their hours. Always hated how I looked, and I'm still not anywhere cute as I wish I was, but I gained some weight, changed my wardrobe to have better fitting clothes, got better glasses, and got a way better haircut.

You literally have to just DO IT. Stop thinking so hard about things, especially when you're in the moment (it's good to analyze them before/after to a degree so you're more prepared for this time/the next time). If you're in a hot girl's room and she's showing interest, that's your signal to fucking do something. Start out subtle and playful and go from there. Sit next to her. Stare into her eyes when you're talking to her. Touch her "accidentally" with the side of your arm or something when you reach for something else. If she's still showing interest (and you're smart enough to know whether she is) then push a little harder. Maybe say something like "if I gave you a smooch right now would you beat me up?". Base your next move on this response.

You only learn by doing, and if you disappoint a girl or do something awkward whatever, then who the fuck cares, learn from that experience and move on to the next girl.

Also unless she's a bitch she will probably think your inexperience is cute, especially if you don't act all pathetic, and make up for it in other ways

>I basically don't understand how anyone would want to get intimate with me.
You don't have to understand it. If they do, they do. Unless you think they're shady or some shit, then relax and accept it.

>>70640146
>but the leading up to it part was torture. Even just 2 years ago, I would literally start shaking and my armpits would start sweating when I would have to make a phone call to a store to check their hours.

Not the anon you replied to, but man this inspires me but also makes me think I'm an even bigger and weaker idiot for not starting to challenge myself. I don't get anywhere near that level of anxiety around people, I can quite easily go outside and be around people without sweating it or shaking or getting any panic sensations.

But I still haven't worked past it. You managed to fight your way out of something way harder than what I'm dealing with right now and I don't even do anything to better my own situation.

You should feel good about getting out of that hell, anon. I hope I can find a third of the strength you had to do the same for myself.

>>70639549
>nobody who was ever a successful artist started so late.

Bullshit. James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem was in his mid-30s when he was just getting his break

>>70640146
Yeah I know that I should just do it. She had been showing interest, we were both a bit shy, and we were watching a movie. I literally just can't make myself do anything - I'll be just about to place my hand on her, but then I'll just readjust or something. I've gotten better since then, though, I'm just not around girls at the moment.

I think another aspect of it is that I'm bad at doing those playful, cute things. Like I literally cringed when reading the line: "if I gave you a smooch right now would you beat me up?", I can't do that kind of playfulness, it seems so unnatural to me.

I'm hoping to meet some chill, but attractive girls when I start uni. I'm just a bit afraid, because as I mentioned, most of these girls will have had several sexual experiences, and young girls in my country seem to be very keen on having good sex, it's a very sexually liberated, European country with lots of feminists (not that I mind at all). She might think it's cute, but I'm not really that good looking, and I don't really have the smooth personality/attitude to "make up for it in other ways."

I still think I'll do better than I've done earlier in my life, as I've developed mentally and feel much better now. But you're saying that it won't matter if I fail - that's not entirely true. If I end up sperging out while trying to get a girl at my new uni, people will view me as a nervous fuck and I really wouldn't want to be that guy at my new place of education

>>70639549
>I do not wish to die without leaving my mark on this planet

When you play a show at shitty smoke filled venue for like 20 people, you've already left a bigger mark than 99% of the population. Stop being such an emo faggot (or continue to do so, it worked for the likes of americ anfootball anyway).

>>70639763
I think you just need to accept that the first few times you deal with whatever situation you're scared of (flirting, fucking, whatever) are going to be bad but you have to do that to gain experience, and then it won't be bad. Like when you first start songwriting or painting or whatever creative outlet, the first few things you make are going to be garbage and that's totally ok. So some girl thinks you're awkward or cums too fast, who cares, you need that failure practice to reach success.

>>70640503
I know that, but failing at playing a song as a new guitar player is not even bad, while fucking up while naked and intimate with someone who's already 5x times more experienced than you is worse.

Also, I'd care if she were someone from my new uni, because that would be bad for my self-esteem and would probably, if I have to look at it realistically, set me back in my progress. Don't come and tell me that girls don't talk about their sexual escapades with their friends

I do realize, however, that you're right and that it's the only advice to give really, but what I've written above still stands tho

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3t9SfrfDZM

>>70638378
My Sweet Lord by George Harrison,

>>70640384
Best advice I can give you is to relax and not take yourself so seriously, because girls will see that when you "sperg out" or do something "wrong" (if you even do) and that reaction to yourself messing up, will be far, far, far worse than you "messing up".

So basically be confident enough and girls won't give a fuck unless you literally sperg out massively and like, cry because you came too fast or something, but that seems pretty unrealistic.

>>70640713
I know your situation dude. I have huge trust issues which translates to a fear of intimacy, both emotionally and physically. The best advice I can give is to build emotional intimacy with someone before trying to physically.

>>70640713
I think you're overestimating how bad it could be, underestimating how in-her-own-head girls are during stuff like that (it's not like the focus is actually on you and how well you're performing), and overestimating how much girls talk (it'd be the same amount of people you'd tell if you had a bad sex experience, aka your close friends and that's probably it). You're overthinking it for sure. You'll only realize how little failing actually matters until you do it.

Great advice but I'm going to disagree on this one point. Girls do talk about EVERYTHING to close friends but also they'll talk to anyone who'll listen. And their friends will tell anyone who'll listen.

>>70639384
Damn you just took the words right out of mind. This is exactly how I feel at birthdays, just uncomfortable as fuck. Same reason why OP's pic makes me sad.

>>70640986
Thanks for the advice. Sad thing is, I'd love just to go out and have some casual sex. I don't want to build intimacy, I want to concentrate on my education for the next years coming, I don't want to spend time building my first ever relationship

>>70641013
But if her close friends are at the same uni it's bad enough. Like, I crave being seen as a normal, cool guy who doesn't act like a sperg, so I wouldn't want to start off by fucking up and getting myself a reputation as that inexperienced, strange kid. I really do appreciate your input though. I'd like to visit a prostitute for the first few times, but I don't want to spend the money.

The thing is, I KNOW that even your ugliest friends have had sex in most cases, and I do not ON EARTH understand how they did it, and I'm not even that ugly

>>70641177
The girls interested in casual sex are more likely to judge you, FYI.

Also, you've got two choices, continue being a pussy and find yourself 30 in mom's basement never having had a gf or sex, OR, you can go out and do it and maybe be awkward the first couple times, but then you'll gain the confidence quickly afterwards, and will no longer give a fuck about those mistakes (and be glad for them for making you grow), and women will see your increased confidence and not give a fuck about what they may have heard (if anything) and see you for you, and you find yourself 30 with much fewer regrets cause you actually went out and did shit like a man.

Your choice

>>70641084
About bad sex experience with specific guys? You and I know completely different types of women then.

>>70641228
Yeah I know, but anyways, I'll be moving to the biggest city in my country for uni this summer, so I won't be sitting at my mom's at 30.

I'm just nervous about sperging out because my anxiety is quite bad.

Either I get to know a girl I'd want to pursue romantically, which is way more nerve-wrecking than casual sex, takes time and would make me feel bad because I probably wouldn't really want a relationship with her anyways (the point I made before about not wanting to pursue a relationship, but rather my education), or I could go and try to get casual sex, but then the girls will most likely judge me AND I have no idea how to actually get girls that I don't already know, and who aren't already interested in me.

sure i recorded a 10 song album when i was like 16 but the recordings are long gone and forgotten. hell the last track was a 30 minute long field recording of my friends and i getting high in his room. i also wrote a 20 page autobiography that will never go anywhere. lifes pretty funny i guess is all ive learned. no im not wise.

So many feels in this thread. I'm 27 and things are starting to look up, finally have a relationship (was closeted homo in evangelical upbringing lolz), graduating in a few months, have a few job leads so i can move soon. When you're in your early 20s and stuff isn't happening, the next 5 or so years pass so fast, especially in hindsight. The better times feel frail and sometimes I still have crippling depression over the lost years, but it's not the only feeling now.

I'm basically that cliché description of our typical 4chan regular that you see on other sites, usually in a satirical manner (minus the basement, the neckbeard and the fatness). I am KHV, got zero social skills, no friends, am awkward as all fuck and although I desire to maybe someday manage to develop a connection with a girl I like, my nonexistent relationship experience at 21 makes me be legit terrified of that possibility of intimacy (like the other anon in this thread, basically), creating a really weird paradoxal kind of feeling and a persistant "that ship has sailed" kind of thought in the back of my mind that I'm way too far behind on that type of stuff when compared to most people my age and that missing out on those crucial experiences during my teenage years has permanently taken a toll on my ability to function 100% normally when around other people and potential partners. I try really hard not to think about it and mostly I succeed at it, especially when I'm busy studying. But sooner or later it all just comes back at once and the loneliness hits me like a ton of bricks. I've never been to a therapist or anything like that but the fact that those thoughts have only been getting more and more intense since high school is starting to seriously concern me.

I'm sorry dude. You'll get there one day if you don't sabotage yourself. Join clubs besides the anime club. Make friends. Get introduced to girls. Marry them. Fuck them. Have kids. In that order.

The reason and meaning for you to live is so you can make great works of art, because there are albums that only you can make. Your age is irrelevant. The fulfillment is in the process, not the end. Endure the suffering for the sake of this goal.

>>70641177
>I'd love to just go out and have some casual sex

Probably because sexual libido (like depression) rapidly increases when your not actively involved in something.

>>70645728
This. Most of the greatest works accomplished were made as an outlet for sexual frustration. Or you could go the Elliot Rodgers route. Sexual frustration is man's greatest weapon.

>>70645603
Thank you, anon. The rare feel threads on the boards I frequent actually make me feel a bit better. The opportunity to vent and read about people with similar experiences is great.

>Growing up, really fucking sucks
>I wanna fall in love, but i don't love anybody
>And soo... there will be nobody... who will want to fall in love with me

The concept of aging and the passing of time is ssomething that has haunted me since i was like 17 or 18. Minor panic attacks sometimes from thinking about growing old.

The social issues and general failure at being an ok human being don't help.

I'm turning 22 on the 14th but for a couple years now it just feels like there's no point to all of this and that i've wasted any chance i had at a decent life.

>tfw i'm 33 years old
>tfw without beard i still look like a 20 yo
>tfw i still feel like i have 20yo
Music for this feel?

>>70645882
Glad it helped a bit. But don't just get satisfaction from feel threads. Set goals. Accomplish them. Have sex in the missionary position for the purpose of procreation.

Anon, I'm in your shoes and I'm 25, minus the education bit.

Try and use these feelings as inspirations to change, it is far too easy to ignore life and watch it pass by. I regret it so much, now I have all the same issues you have but I'm in my fucking mid 20s, I don't know why anybody would be interested in even befriending me at this much, much less a woman.

People my age feel alien to me, I'm truly stuck in arrested development. I hope to change this year, I feel different from before, I feel more awful than ever but for the first time I actually want to change, whether or not I have the strength to do so we'll see.

But please, do the best you can to get to a place where you're desperate enough to fucking do it and not cowardly hide away, because fuck, it hurts, man.

You're not missing anything. Sex, relationships, friendships, etc. are the most unfulfilling things in life. They're timesinks. Desiring them to a great extent is a sign of low self confidence. relationships give you an external source of confidence. They're confirmation that you're doing the "right" thing. If you aren't a brainlet, you won't need them. You've probably inflated their status because you're overwhelmed by the directionlessness of post-Christian society. Don't go out and fuck girls, go out and learn things. Get some books out of your school library. Having "life experience" and feeling good won't get you anywhere in life. Or go have good sex and see how stupid it is. That's what helped me get over depressive loneliness. It's quite literally no different from anything else that makes you feel good. Anyone who treats sex as something more than a hedonistic activity is probably doing it more out of insecurity than anything else.

>>70646158
I guess anon didn't feel comtortable with his post, but it was nice

>>70647573
I disagree with you on relationships being time sinks. But it's good to have fulfillment outside of relationships.

>>70647693
Even if you want to have relationships, finding fulfillment outside of them is far more important. There are too many whiny faggots on here complaining about nogf when their problem is clearly not being a virgin but being terrified of being alone. I've met too many neurotic faggots irl whose lives would fall apart if they had to go 2 weeks with no one to fuck or drink with.

If I could go back in time and choose between dying a hermitic virgin and being so ridiculously dependent on other people to tolerate existing, I'd pick virginity every time. These lonely anons definitely need to change their lives, but getting laid, making friends and so on won't help them. That's obscuring the problem, not finding a solution.

>>70647929
>That's obscuring the problem, not finding a solution
This part I can totally agree with

>>70647573
>Anyone who treats sex as something more than a hedonistic activity is probably doing it more out of insecurity than anything else.

now i've never had a serious gf but i have fucked some girls, and i imagine doing it with someone you actually love is more than just hedonsim

>>70647929
You make some good points (finding fulfillment elsewhere, which I still could use) but you seem to think primarily in black and white, but the very fact that you're posting here proves that there is a healthy balance somewhere in the middle. We all desire and need human interaction. I pride myself on needing less human interaction than most. It takes very little social interaction before I'm happily stimulated. But I do need some. That's why I want a girlfriend who is also my best friend.

>>70648028
>i imagine doing it with someone you actually love is more than just hedonsim
At the end of the day, it feels good. You may as well get off the hedonic treadmill before you get your hopes up.

Awesome thread. Lots of feels and actually made me check out Red House Painters. Should have done it earlier desu, cause this is great

>>70648988
This has been one of the better feels threads on mu. If you're looking for recs, I feel like slowcore bands like Slint, Codeine, and Low make me feel the bittersweetness of getting older.

I don't think the song's necessarily about growing old, but the line

>do you feel like a remnant
>of something that's past
>do you find things are moving
>just a little too fast

fucking kills me.

And "Time" by Pink Floyd is pretty much the definitive song. If it's not for you, think about how the song will feel ten years from the point when you first listened to it. It doesn't feel great.

Probably desu, good point. At the same time though, I don't think I'd want to go to the other extreme and just "get off the hedonic treadmill" as you put it

>>70649687
Oh, and probably the only good Blink-182 song: "Dammit"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sT0g16_LQaQ

But what a good song it is.

"Weak Become Heroes" by The Streets as well.

I actually agree with you on this. I feel best when spend time doing things i like.
But at the same time i never felt loneliness despite spending most time alone, so i might be different than other anons.
