Yeah pretty much sums it. I'm not depressed or any shit like that but after watching a movie where Olivia Wild has a quote about the meaning of life I'm feeling nostalgic and rather complacent about it.

And since I'm /in/ what's better to do other than shitpost about it with fellow sc/out/s.

often. If everything went smoothly, life would be pretty boring.

I went to college.

>>901000

Seriously, I could've used that money as a down payment on a house. Or drugs.

Almost every day, now I'm 22 and want to get shit sorted away, but have spent my whole life painting myself into a corner and don't have anyone or anything to help me get out.

At this point I am honestly considering just taking out an ass load of student loans, getting a good degree and a minor in Russian then fucking off and never looking back. The worst part of all of it is I have been a shirtless for so long to everyone that no one will have anything to do with me. It's been over three weeks since I talked to anyone aside from shit at work. I just sit at home alone.

15 years ago had the opportunity to choose the right job, but didn't. Would be getting paid twice as much right now.
Every day it haunts me, would have retired last year I did. Now I'm slowly passing time getting more and more depressed, but on the plus side in a year and a half I can finally have a good holiday

>>900972

My constant life is a fuck up. Why I decide to go /out/ and be alone in the wild. Than the only fuck ups the matter out there, are the ones that get me killed.

Just two more yrs, I will have enough money to gtfo to no where Alaska.

Ok.

Then what? I mean by admission, the money is a finite resource. Do you plan to marry well before you are destitute?

Because odds diminish you will upon destitutization.

A little bit. I'm learning more every day. But the hosts I'll be staying with speak English and want to teach me Japanese.

>asking questions = projecting

I've been continuously fucking up in life since the day I was born.
Right now my life consists of going to community college with no plans of ever getting a degree or transferring, working a dead-end, minimum wage job, and spending whatever income I have leftover on material goods hoping that whatever brief distraction they provide will fill the void long enough for me to cash the next paycheck.

>>901403
Why do people do this shit to themselves god damn

>>901413
Mostly because they feel like they don't deserve any better. The same reason people get into obviously shitty relationships.

We live in a philosophically bankrupt age where people are told that happiness is an external thing to be obtained rather than an internal process to be followed.

>on 4chan

>>901656
I can't tell you that specifically because everybody has different thoughts, feelings and reasons. But generally again it comes back to a lack of self-esteem/self-worth and feeling like they don't DESERVE something better.

It's sort of like why a lot of people can't leave toxic/abusive relationships. They're partner has them convinced that they're not worth something better, and they're scared to leave what they because they might fail to achieve what they want.

Humans are not completely logical, rational beings. Our perceptions are affected by a complex soup of biological and environmental factors. Sometimes we can be perfectly rational, sometimes we can't and sometimes we convince ourselves we're being perfectly rational even though we're not.

One thing I can as is that modern western civilization really doesn't foster a sense of self-worth in most of its population. We're constantly bombarded with messages that our worth comes from external things and if we don't feel good about ourselves we need to acquire bigger/better things. Whether it's a nicer car, a younger lover, a more prestigious job, etc. And if you don't acquire those things you're a failure.

You also don't have to run away from your life to change it. For instance if you don't like your job, don't make it the center of your life. Shift some of your energy and emotional investment into something else. Learn to play an instrument, buold a bird house, volunteer for a cause you care about, cash in your vacation days and take a trip. Find something you enjoy or feel passionate about and use that to recharge yourself mentally and emotionally from your job.

>implying browsing 4chan mean you fucked your life up

"Successful" people can like "fucked-up" humor, enjoy the anonymity of the site, and/or trust (with salt) the people on 4chan.

I flunked out of college though, so I'm not an example of someone who didn't fuck up in life.

>>901188
What does "shirtless with people" mean?

What kind of job?

What major?

Do you want to interact with people a lot, or do you just feel that way because of society's expectations? You can balance out alone time with friend time, you don't have to constantly be with somebody.

Personally, I like living alone and doing things alone a lot, but I also sometimes hang with my buddies (if they are in town ever). I also got some online friends I can play vidya online with, so that is really nice!

>>901257
Why did you tell your family to fuck off?

>>903501
Your happiness is always a consideration, it just isn't the first consideration.

For the sake of your kid, engage in some self-care once in a while. You can't share from an empty cup.

>>903529
You misunderstand.
I am not depressed.
I am a man that made a huge mistake that cannot be undone.
I make the best of it and find small joys where I can.
The fact is that not everyone was meant to enjoy fatherhood.
My biggest fantasy is that I had been smart enough when I was younger to not have a child.
Some men daydream about investing in Facebook in 2006.
I daydream that I got a vasectomy in 2007.

>>903508
Too much 4chan while you should've been studying.

I can't use that excuse. I didn't start lurking the ol' chan until after I dropped out of college.

>>903544
No, actually it was vidya, no affinity for my major, and ADHD.

>>903037
I was in Afghanistan

>>903462
Why so alone, divorce?

>>903551
Yeah not giving a fuck about your major doesn't help. Especially when you would rather be making money than spending $30k/yr for 4yrs doing busywork to try and get a piece of paper that says you are qualified to do something that you have no interest in.

>>903553
Not that guy, but loneliness isn't always bout a lack of companionship.

>>903539
Go talk to a counselor, like tomorrow. If not for your sake than for the sake of your kid so you don't inadvertantly pass on fucked up life lessons to them.

You faggit take them with you and make a life you can be proud of for fucks sake you really think youre doing them a service while being unhappy as fuck? You are ruining 3 lives not just your own you dense piece of shit. You owe it to your child to find a life where you can be happy, you cant do shit for anyone without figuring yourself out first.

>>903635
Fuck you you defeatist child ruining piece of shit. Fix your god damn life and quit being such a pussy. Homeschool your child, make its mom fall in line or fight the fucking fight. It is worth it for your kid and youre a giant gaping vagina if youd rather be a depressed faggot than a good parent. There are enough shitty kids in the world, we need bitch ass dudes like you to step up and do what it takes to raise a kid with a good head on its shoulders, which doesnt mean working your life away being miserable. Quot being a part of the fucking problem you cuck, its your life too now fucking take control god damnit.

>Graduate high school in 2012
>Go to college for 2 years having no idea what I want to do
>Become depressed, fiancee dumps me, family threatens to disown me
>Feel like I need a fresh start; enlist in the Army
>Stationed at Fort Polk. This place is awful

>Deploy to Afghanistan
>Come back to find all of my friends have ETS'd/been chaptered out
>Get put in a shitty unit
>Things gradually get worse month by month
>Drink heavily, attempt to commit suicide last month

I feel ashamed to admit that last part. I just want to get out of the military. I don't know why I ever thought sacrificing my freedom was a good idea.

Man I love mute people. I'm not telling this to please you, I actually do.
I worked with a mute person for a summer, and I was just loving the guy because he was so attentive to everything he understood very quickly.

Ive struggled with depression most of my adult life. The longest I have held a job in the last 10 years is 2.5 years. They always end the same. The depression becomes unbearable. I can't even leave my bed. I lose my job. My last one lasted ten months. The last six months have been nightmarish. I have been battling back after losing my job and what I thought was the love of my life. I have a new opportunity now. Another well paying job. Another chance. I hope I don't fuck this up again /out/

I'd say renting to tourists counts as having social skills.

I've fucked up, man, but I've always bounced back somehow.
Almost every other year or so from age 24 to 34, fucked up many times...arrested, jail, psych wards..it was crazy, humiliating, scary, but downright memorable and I learned a lot about myself and others.

I played World of Warcraft religiously for 7 years. Luckily now I can't even play video games without being disgusted with myself.

I am 45 and I have fucked up so many times in my life. Right now I am going through my third divorce. I have ruined several careers--the one that hurt the most was having my RN license revoked for abusing drugs. I always adapted and nothing has killed me yet, even the decade I spent in the Army. I wouldn't change a thing--not my three out of wedlock children, my failed attempts at basically everything, my rampant drug abuse in the 90's, the cars I have crashed, and even so many of my Army buddies dying because without all that I wouldn't be me.

It turns out the universe really doesn't give a shit how many times you fucked up, every day is a new day and no one remembers your fuck-ups except you.

Don't let the past hold you back.

>>910474
what is your job?

>>903509
Forgot this thread existed...

>What does "shirtless with people" mean?
Phone corrected shithead

>What kind of job?
Farm hand/maintenance. Basically I am one of the behind the scenes guys at a little pioneer reenactment farm where everyone pretends it's the 1800s.

>What major?
Animal science

>Do you want to interact with people a lot, or do you just feel that way because of society's expectations? You can balance out alone time with friend time, you don't have to constantly be with somebody.
I really enjoy being around people, but I have this lone wolf reputation around here where people assume I just want to be alone and I don't do myself any favors. At work one day I was feeding the horses and overhead a cute girl from another park asking about me and my boss said something along the lines of "he doesn't like people, he just wants to be left alone", so I guess that about sums up how people see me.

>Personally, I like living alone and doing things alone a lot, but I also sometimes hang with my buddies (if they are in town ever). I also got some online friends I can play vidya online with, so that is really nice!
I tried that, it was nice for a while, but it ain't the same as actual physical people.

The biggest thing that bothers me now is all my former friends are having kids and shit and I still living in a shack on one of dads fields alone. I don't even know how turn it around, I try to go out somewhere and make friends but I always end up getting into fights or drinking alone.

Also slightly related, when I was in elementary school the I talked to much, and had a speech impediment, my therapist told me that if I kept talking my voice would wear out and I wouldn't be able talk for the rest of my life. I believe that until middle school and got a new therapist and hardly talked from 2nd-5th grade. My speech is fine now, but I've always wondered if that didn't play some small roll in my current problems.

>>910650
You have anxiety my friend. The drinking and fighting is the red flag for me. Plus people think you are a loner. Go to a shrink and talk about the fucked up speech therapist. Find meds that work. Correct this now before you create even more bad habits.

>>901299

I appreciate your compliment. I find a lot of younger smartasses use condescending "humor" to a bolster a sense of lack of self worth/self confidence. Alienating those who could mentor or help by insult and callous disregard.

yo sounds familiar, but only 5 years for me. Took about 6 months to start figuring my shit out again, and I never really gave up on my stuff, it just took a side burner. Still though, a lot of solitude and reflection is just what the doctor ordered hell yeah

>>901299
The door is always open man. Since you always have ending shit as an option, to me it makes sense to compare any choice to that and say, "would I rather be dead in five minutes than do this thing, right now?" It took about a week of actual honesty with myself before I realized that I was just being a self-indulgent pussy. Maybe it's different for you, I don't know. I know that feeling sorry for myself never solved any of my problems, and I've had a couple.

>>903751
dude, write your issues down and take some ownership of what your problems are. It helps to write as though you were some sort of alien anthropologist. Describe the situations and stressors you're dealing with. Explore different ways of seeing it -- for example, take people, real or fictional, and describe in detail your day, but if they had lived it with their temperament and attitudes, but limited to your body and situation. Read some good biographies and learn about the shit that people have dealt with throughout history, to succeed and be straight badasses. Let your time in be a forge for a new you, a better you. The corps didn't break me, but it sure as hell ruined some other people who didn't figure their shit out.

I just went through the entire thread. I don't know whether I should feel hopeful or hopeless after reading it.

There's not even a point on writing my story. Just a lazy faggot who would rather stay in front of his computer and has achieved shit in life, I can drive for Uber but I barely do, just enough to pay my bills. I quit drugs so at least there's that.

hi anon, a lotta that resonated with me, and there're a few things that i wish i'd been ready to hear 5yrs ago, when i was sitting where you are now.

think about the man you want to be. specifics are great, but even generally- almost like you're building a character in vidya. list the characteristics, then build single things you can do every day to get that habit moving.

re: porn- ween your way down to just images, no movies, and make it a point to fap to imagined scenarios a couple times a week

re: oneitis- it's cancer, man. it's just like drugs. stop. it's an illusion, and cutting it off may feel like sawing off your hand, but if it's killing you-
you're better than how this has made you feel. you've already overcome so much. look for a woman that lives up to her own morals. come at it honest and humble, and if you're as lucky as i was, she'll accept you for the man you try to be.

make plans, make deliverables, make things that reflect you. reach for gratitude; disregard pain and shame. be the architect of your own fantasies.

>>903751
stay strong. you can do this

start making lists of some things you'd rather be doing with your life, then sit down and write yourself step by step directions on how to get there. don't allow yourself to talk negatively to yourself.
make your last thought of the night gratitude. even if it's just your goddamn blanket, or a working body.

>>901299
goddamn son.
you seem like a good dude. i wish the best for you anon.

ever thought about writing freelance for a paper or something? you're intelligent, and i bet you've got a perspective people could be into

>>910133
I think that's good advice...

Better than going into debt. Then you can be prepared for when you figure out what you want!

>>910650

I agree with >>911686

It's not too late, it's never too late.

Sure, you might have been a shithead, and you might have too far damaged your rep with certain people, but you can work to change that.

Don't let your boss speak for you, just talk anyways.

If you have wronged people, try to fix the wrong. Don't do it because you want to be their buddy, do it because you fucked up, and it's the right thing to do to take responsibility. That will start to fix your rep, and word will get around, especially if you were a super asshole. People will be thrown off by it, and will tell other people because it's interesting.

Animal science sounds like a good field. There is a fuckload of money in animals and their care.

Sure, your former friends might being doing "big" shit, but who cares. Why do you need to be like them?

If it makes you feel better, my "friends" are all graduating college, while I flunked out because I'm an ADD riddled fuckhead.

What do you really want to do?

>>919473
You lived in Miami anon? I really do want to move out. But with no money, and no real skill or higher education what would I do? I don't have a lot of choices besides saving up for like 10+ years.

>>919488
>>919489
None of this advice was specifically for me, but I thought I'd let you know I find it powerful and I'm going to work at taking it to heart. Thank you for sharing anon.

I've been always looking for a girl like the one on your picture. Someone with a large inner world to explore, one that likes just going out to the nature and forgetting about everything. Oh, and she was beautiful.
Instead I ended up with a depressive girl who really loves me, she's a true snob, hates dirty and unclean things like a several days-long hike and I constantly live in an emotional mine field because of this. Thing is, I feel too much sorry for her to just leave her alone. I know she wouldn't do it in my place. But well, she's beautiful.
Did I fuck up? You tell me.

I once completely fucked my hand up making a crannoch boat in europe. Stabbed myself right in the sweat meat of the thumb. Luckily the nearest village had a very old german doctor (Who went on about the communist lies about plastic bottles) I got four stiches, two nonBPA bottles and a sweet knife out of it though.

NEET
NOT in EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT, OR TRAINING

He has finished school, so he is not currently being educated
He has lost his job, so he is not employed
He is not doing some form of apprenticeship, so he is not in training
He is a neet.
Having an education doesnt make him any less of a neet, because its not what he is CURRENTLY doing

>didn't join the military back in '08 when I graduated high school
I never thought it was a good option due to having a scholarship to college (plus rents who were gladly paying the rest of the way), and to be honest I was a little scared when I thought about the Iraq/Afghan wars going on. Military guys might disagree with me on this, grass is always greener, but I'll never have the opportunity to do something as adventurous as join the military, experience the intensity and discipline of training, and deploy somewhere (if I even did deploy).

>not studying abroad in college
I was so close to fluency in Spanish, but now I've lost a lot of my language skills in it through disuse. I could have lived in Spain for the study abroad, and as I said before, rich rents who were offering to pay in full for it.

I've got a great gf, soon to be fiance, and make 85k as a software dev, but I'll never know what those experiences could have been.

Yeah I'm similar:
>Parents forced me down a specific career path (university degree at all costs, no son of ours is going to college (Canadian here))
>Nearing the end of my degree and I'm anxious about work prospects because my degree might be totally useless
>Go to uni in town, live with my controlling parents who make life miserable (saving on food + rent pays off all my student loans)
>Minor depression
>Can't fucking stand my cellphone, social media, city life
>Trying to get /out/ but I have a year of school left and I work multiple jobs over the summer to help pay tuition

Passed up alot of opportunities with other girls for a crazy one. Shes gone now and I'm married. Lets hope this one gets me something to look forward to in life but sometimes I feel like I'm not supposed to be married because I literally wish I was outside alone most of the day.
