So what's your excuse for being a failure? What do you tell yourself? Will you ever surpass it?
>failure
we all know everyone is getting bled dry so people at the top can stay rich

I blame my parents.
They coddled & sheltered me too much and raised me weak. Never really did much with me either, though they did buy me most of what I wanted. Therefore, I grew into a beta, who has no idea how to interact socially with my peers.

There's ways out-- you just have to forsake consumerism, save your money as much as possible, and invest well.
If you don't mind living like a college student and accumulating wealth until you're ready to have kids, then it's not terribly difficult to become wealthy.

So if you are aware of it, what prevents you from fixing it?
Then again, I've spent 5 years of my life learning how to invest. :/
Do you guys still try to fix your shit or have you given up?

Fix it how? I can't just turn into some confident chad overnight.
My social skills are too stunted at this point. There are middle schoolers who have easier times of conversing than me

Shit nutrition while growing up

This, I was fucking raised on nothing but chicken nuggets and chocolate milk

>whats your excuse for being a failure?
Job/income wise? I'm determined to succeed in my goals rather than settling for a real job or finishing college to get a secure career. Alternatively, I'm able to live off part time and even save a bit with how things are now. Gives me more time to focus on said pursuits which have huge financial pay offs once I complete them.
Socially? If I omit my soap opera childhood-adolescence blah blah blah, its because I never learned how to form normal relationships I guess, and didn't accept myself until after highschool. Feel like my views were skewed partially due to r9k as well.
>What do you tell yourself?
Anything that helps.
>Will you ever surpass it?
Yeah, by proving that I can.
Everything is more or less predetermined, you can do some, but even then how you approach doing things is down to genetics and upbringing and many other external factors. Normalfags will deny this etc "I'm proud, it was down to my hard-work." but it's more or less true.
Still regardless of this I blame myself.

I could pretty much say all of those things, too.
My parents raised me sheltered as fuck and told me everyone was out to get me. And now they're all surprised I'm paranoid of everyone I meet and can't speak to a stranger without spaghetti coming out everywhere. I'd love to fix it. I just have no idea how, or if I even can. They wouldn't even admit that "pulling me out of school and homeschooling me" with zero social interaction aside from them and my siblings was MAYBE a bad idea. That is until my brother killed himself for very much the same reasons I'm going to end up doing it for. I'm completely fucked at 22 and I don't know how to fix it because I'm still in butt fuck country, I.E middle of nowhere Michigan, with no social opportunities at all near me. The only way I could be more isolated and reclused is if I lived on another planet. I just wanna be a normal person and have something good happen in my life for even a year. So I'd at least have something to think back on fondly.

I just want to finish college asap and move out and live the rest of my life in silence.
I'm just very lazy, unmotivated, stupid and self hating. I'm a low tier human in virtually all regards. To be honest, I don't even deserve to succeed anyways.
