>Car hood forced open and someone stole the battery
This week is going swell. Can't wait for a few more months and I am 30 so I can vanish for good.

Why torture yourself like that? There is a reason not to have social media. Its toxic to the soul.

>>34233179
no way.

My only hobby is my ex

>stuck a work for another hour
>come home and have to study for exam tomorrow
I feel kinda depressed really. I'm 27 and a I'll be 31 by the time I get my master degree. Life is moving forward at a snails pace. I have no meaningful friendships (only superficial ones). No chance for a naive, romantic relationship (fuck being settled on because the biological clock is ticking and she wants children). Not having the feeling like I'm developing or maturing (like an 16 year old stuck in a 27 year old body).

>>34232813

You have to remember that what people show on social media is highly curated. No one posts that they didn't get the job, that they had a shit day, that they skipped going to the gym, that they had to settle for a smaller car because they couldn't afford what they wanted.

don't get down on yourself. it's clearly much harder for you than the average person and that's the kind of person who can't make a phone call to organize something essential. it's not your fault.

but you can do it. mentally prepare and get it done as early as possible tomorrow morning. set an alarm and try to do it as robotically as possible, without thinking. that can help. no "am i going to do it now?" just, "right now is when i am going to do it."

my shit advice might not help but good luck. i believe you can do it.

At work last night one of my coworkers was smiling at me funny, like a much warmer smile that you don't normally see. I walked around the corner and she looked up and beamed at me. Had to talk to her at one point and she was acting more casual than normal. I have not really had much to do with her though so I don't know why she would act differently. But here's the thing: I am 27 and she is probably in her mid 50s. She has a nice body for her age though and is kind of a clumsy nerdy woman, and married I think. Does she want my pure virgin D? Either way having a woman smile at me like that made me feel good as it hasn't happened in over a decade.

Do you guys still have any of those unlikely ambitions, like becoming a musician, actor, stand-up comedian, a film director, etc?

I'm 27 and I have a new musical project with my buddy, but I'm starting to feel a bit too old for it. I know that now with the internet dudes often seem to blow up in theirs 40s so although the chances are smaller it's not impossible, but I still feel a bit ouf ot place and I'm still always slightly embarrassed at the thought that someone I know from high school could be watching one of my performances.

I'm not a NEET just waiting for a music career to magically show up, I work and I'm smart with money. But that "maybe I should just go back to college at nights instead" voice at the back of my head is shouting rn.

what can i expect in the next 5 years

>>34237577
misery desu

I've accepted that the rational part of my brain is not in control. I fought it all my life, but I've finally given up. I am a slave to my own emotions and I will remain a slave forever.

>>34237461
This.

And this is also how I know my mental health has been literally harmed by my life history. There are many things I need to avoid because they send me down the path of depression. Seeing or stalking old schoolmates, talking to exes, walking by places I regularly went to in my youth, like my school.

I even avoid watching coming-of-age movies, movies about teenagers and so on because I might have an anxiety attack about lost experiences and wasted youth and it will ruin my week.

>37 going on 38 here

>>34237686
This.

Youth is over at 25.

You get depressed and have a quarter life crisis and you feel like you want to die.

You see kids half your age practically making out in the mall.

You feel like you wasted so much time. You're in a job you hate. You realize that life sucks and it's a lonely grind until you either die of old age, disease, or by your own hand.

>>34237728
Take control now, take risks, and go for what you want. Your window of opportunity is closing.

>>34237577
Whatever you do with them. If you do shit, shit gets done. If you wait, nothing happens.

>>34237577
In my experience, a sense of loss of purpose.

When you're young, you have this overall "just be young and have fun!" guideline for your life, even if you don't do it or even if you don't feel like doing it.

After that, it becomes kind of bleak. I mean, I'm not saying people stop having fun at 25, but other things take priority and you'll realise you don't really want to do any of them. If being young and free was difficult because of your personality and social ineptitude, being an adult, with responsibilities, a career and family are literally impossible. You might feel that even if you succeed at fulfilling society's expectations, you'll be miserable. There's not much way out.

>>34237577
>>34237728
When you are young you say, "I will start living my life as soon as I'm ready." You keep saying that as the years pass by and disappear. Eventually you realize that it's too late now and you can't have any of that time back. If you put off living you will never live.

>Youth is over at 25

This feel is something that has really been hitting me in the face the past few months. At this point I just want a steady 40hr a week job that pays somewhat decently and keep living with my parents until I can buy a house. I have no real desire for a gf, I suppose that's a good thing though.

Honestly, if you don't plan to start a family, don't move out. Just live with your parents and inherit wherever you live. Unless it's a shithole and you want to leave. Just general advice.

This is what I would have done, but my parents are renting, so there's nothing to inherit, not even money, because my mother spends everything, instead of saving up. Even my father and I tell her to stop buying so much crap she doesn't need.

The only reason I want to buy a house is, so that I have something for my retirement.

>>34237657
Have you ever studied anthropology? Sociology? Psychoanalysis, Marxism, etc? If not, you might want to give it a try. If you can't control your emotions you might at least try to learn where your emotions come from.

Because as individuals we do tend to dignify our ideas and our lifestyle (ideal or current) as something with inherent valor when it hasn't.

Some reading of society through a specific methodology rather than an individual point of view might give you an understanding of how much you're a cog in the machine. Not in the "dude you're wasting your life in an office!" type of cog in the machine, suggesting how your work is immaterial, but a cog whose ideas and fantasies were also shaped by forces exterior to you, usually with the purpose to keep certain institutions working.

It demistifies things a bit. You'll stop seeing romance (just an example) as this ideal to be attained and link it instead to a social institution, and in turn link this institutions to its function in society. Sure we all know that to a degree, but once you have a proper theoretical framework to read it you'll also grasp a sense of malleability and arbitrariness to it and to the world around you, material or ideological. And if you think you might be relatively immune to those, just look at history. People who believe all sorts of retarded shit that seem ludicrous to us today were also acculturated to those ideas, so they felt the same strong emotions about them as you do about yours. You can't attain "reason" if you don't deprogram yourself from them first.

You can also study Stoicism.

Thanks anon.

What made it worse was how much they hyped me up. I was chosen from over 10,000 applicants

Fuck them.

I've been almost a year out of school and my unemployment is starting to look really bad.

Yeah mine was to a fortune 500 company. Was one of the final selections. I felt like I had finally "made it" in life.

It's not hard to move to japan. I did it for a couple of years. You just hop on a plane and pretend to be a tourist indefinitely when you're actually really homeless and living in tents. The homeless life is not so bad in most developed countries desu.

Credit card number compromised again. This seems to happen pmce every eighteen months or so. Pain in the ass. Always the same type of fraud too; charges with travel agencies and online dating sites.

I'm going for the "I'm dead inside" look, heard it's all the rage these days.
Also I'm pretty sure I didn't have this brown fleck of shit in my iris when I was a kid.

Look at it this way, you have a CS degree.
You could sit there and say you were "invested" in some small side projects for clientele. Say you were doing research or brushing up on skills, maybe you were refining your knowledge of scripting and what not.

You might have to fuck around a bit if they ask for proof, but you can totally use that as a valid excuse. The trick is having the charisma to pull it off, and making sure you don't fuck up your story.

tl;dr fake it until you make it.
