How do you picture your life at the age of 27? Old brobots, how

>>34264062

27 was 6 years ago, bruh. Good year though, honestly.

I'm 27 right now. All I do is play video games and browse here/porn.

>>34264062
>How do you picture your life at the age of 27?
Unless things turn around I'll probably off myself before I reach that point

I'm already 27, and no, I had a bit different/higher prospects of where I'd be at this age when I was younger. Pretty much >>34264290, except I rarely play games anymore.

>>34264062
I'll have just graduated med school. I'll probably be incredibly stressed out over intern year of residency, but I generally do pretty well juggling stressful responsibilities and leisurely activities. I guess I'll be balancing work and my hobbies (music, exercise, occasional vidya). I'm expecting 7/10 life quality, but we'll see.

So are you guys contend with your life? Do you have a gf? Do you think you guys would ever get one? Does life feel 'meaningless' without one?

I'm 29.

When I was 27 it was kinda fun. Had a girlfriend and a good job.

What'll my life be like at 27?
No idea. I live in the present, I don't worry myself by thinking about shit that's far in the future.
I wouldn't mind being a successful businesswoman though, or some kind of job that's high paying. And I'd like to live in a nice modern apartment, in a magical lovely city with the bf of my dreams. But this is all just fantasy, I doubt I'll ever get to have a life like that.

>>34264062
Pretty much the same as it is now, I'm 26.

>>34265315

>content with your life?

It's okay, but it could be better. I'm trying to find ways to improve it.

>Do you have a gf?

This is probably one of the ways that I could improve it. I've got friends that are pushing me to use tinder/bumble/pof, but I lack confidence and motivation

>Do you think you guys would ever get one?

I think so. I really need to work on myself first. Want to get in better shape and buy a house.

>Does life feel 'meaningless' without one?

Not at all. As long as you have a group of friends, a job or career, and hobbies and interests, you can still live a pretty fulfilling life. A girlfriend can help, but if she's you're only focus you are destined for failure.

>>34264062
It was the same.

Hmm.

>>34265410

This is insightful anon, thanks. Seems like the only thing lacking in my life is basically to graduate, and a girlfriend. I do have very passionate hobbies and stuff but somehow life just feels really empty to me. Perhaps it's my habit of drawing myself away from people that makes me feel lonely, but I guess that's why I will never get a girlfriend and why I would never be able to get one.

But I guess I still do want to travel the world before I die, at least see something nice like the northern lights or the pyramids. I guess that's one thing to keep me sane.

Barely any progress assuming I haven't started regressing already. I really can't bring myself to care about career advancement so it's inevitable that I'll be behind everyone my age. As for things like friends and relationships, I can't imagine myself not being a khv loner anymore since it'll only get harder with age.

wagecuck so its been the same

work
vidya
drinking

a vacation here and there

>>34264062
I am 27 right now. I live in my parents basement. Took today off from work to play videogames.

I'm 18 and I already disappointed my parents by dropping out of college. Living the NEET life right now and I can see myself rooming with someone while being a wagie at 27

>>34265928

It's not too late to go back and try again, desu. Pencils have erasers for a reason. Great comebacks are made from shitty starts.

>>34264062
I expect to have a decent job and a gf. Only 6 years to go.

>>34265928
>dropping out of college in the first semester

wew lad

I'll be 27 this year, it's going to be the same as last year and the year before that.

At 27 I was living with my super cute and sweet nieces and taking care of them. I loved that. On the other hand, I was with an overly controlling woman so that sucked. The good and the bad, I guess like most times in your life.

for me that's 4 years from now.

I guess if everything works as planned then i would be fairly successful, maybe even with a family of my own.

Honestly i'm looking forward to that, becoming a part-time basement dweller and a fulltime father, husband and worker.

we're all gonna make it.

>>34265315
No, because the older you get the higher your susceptibility to illness. I have to constantly monitor heart rate, for example, due to high blood pressure. I'm not even fat, 190, 6'0.

I believe I could get a girlfriend, yes. It's easier actually when you get older, since people start getting married. The pool of available men shrinks to bf-free girls.

I wouldn't want one. I'm miserable, and I can't imagine a roastie who isn't fucked up in some way dealing with it long term. If you're not happy with yourself, you'll just fuck up whatever relationship you enter anyway.

And no, I don't think life feels meaningless without one, because I still have shit I need to do.

I don't think 27 is old in the context of current year, but I will say if you want to make improvements so you're satisfied at 27, and assuming you're late teens/early twenties right now, just bear in mind doing a little bit of whatever IT is that you think you ought to or want to be doing, will reap gains over time. Education, an instrument, drawing, exercise.

Just stick with shit, don't let your mind and life as a result prattle around from thing to thing. Be diligent. I wasn't, and with the amount of time that has passed, if I had been consistent with what I wanted to be in life, I'm confident I could have manifested that reality over this time span. Otherwise the older you get, the less aspirational and more accepting you become.

27 sucked. I'm surprised I even got through it

Should have died at 24 but they saved my life in emergency surgery. Fuckin congenital birth defect

>>34265944
I could just go to community as a simple start. 4 year was torture for me. Cared too much what people thought of me and had anxiety. Didn't go to class for a week because of an acne breakout. I was there for 3 months and had no friends because I thought it'd work itself out. I can try community but 4 year was a social nightmare for me

>>34264062
I'll probably be finishing my PhD. That'll free up my life right in time for having to do several post docs and then having the stress for applying for grants.

The ride never ends.

>>34266133
i did CC -> Uni

i also have really bad social anxiety. first year at CC was torture, and it honestly never let up. but i did learn to deal with it, and if you take classes at night or on weekends, the students are more mature older people, so social atmosphere isn't that bad.

and going to a uni when you're 21 and older than most other undergraduates is a bit easier id think than what you dealt with. im pretty sure in Uni people thought i was too old, but at that point i didn't give a shit anymore, the only people i wanted to talk to or have respect for me was professors and TAs.

>>34266112

Thanks for the insightful comment anon. You seem like you hate yourself and I hope that you can fix that. I hate myself too and I'm starting to suspect it isn't really because of any reasons, but more of a clinical depression kind of thing. Like I would feel sad all of a sudden for some reason. Have anyone ever seen a psychiatrist? How does a consultation go like? Can it not go into my medical records?

>>34266245
Yea I hate the college scene a lot and all the girls were roasties. I was in NYC so I felt alone in a city full of people and grew spiteful towards everyone there. Going to class terrified me because I'd have to be alone for hours.

>>34266372

I saw one for 4 sessions - clinical depression/borderline suicidal. It got me out of the cyclical thinking and helped me learn some coping strategies, but I eventualy abndoned it because I thought it wasn't going anywhere. I got more benefit from a low dose ssri and mild to moderate exercise than I did from therapy, desu.

>>34266458

Those meds.. do you need a prescription to get them? Like can I just get them off the counter? Can I walk up to a pharmacy and get anti depressants?

>>34266488

A doctor needs to prescribe them - but they literally issue the scripts like they're handing out M&M's. I was on citalopram and later lexapro @ 20 mgs. Took a while to notice the effects (about a month), but they definitely helped with anxiety and depression. The downside is I ended up gaining about 15 lbs on them - gotta add some exercise to your routine.

Oldbot here, currently 28 (29 tomorrow). I figured I'd be miserable when I was 27, and, I was. So I got a bit of comfort from being right, at least.

Working a comfy job where I had nothing to do all day after a month, relatively secure financially, living with my family, but still pretty much empty inside.

>>34266458
What kind of SSRI? I just got prescribed some, but am apprehensive to start.

>>34266488
You need a prescription. I got mine from my doctor through the clinic assigned to me through obongo care. You can either ask the doctor outright about it, or express what you're going through and see what they suggest.

If you don't have HI then see any doctor... Out of pocket an appointment is about $60 or so, my meds would have been $150 without HI.

>>34266551

Hmm I might consider seeing a doctor then. I don't know how exactly to describe my problems though. "I feel extremely down most time of the day, and I have no reason to feel that way". Would that even work lmao. I just don't want the doctor to think I'm another edgy emo kid.

I dont

GMO free post

>>34266600
Yeah, key word there is "every day," that's where the antidepressants come in. Otherwise they'd just give you Xanax for occasional use.

>>34266625

Alright that would work. I wonder if my college have a doctor I can see.

>>34266600

>I feel extremely down most time of the day, and I have no reason to feel that way

That's almost verbatim what you have to say. Also lack of energy and motivation. "I don't feel like getting out of bed" is a good one. Doctors are trained to recognize these symptoms, so yours should at least offer them as a recommendation (depending on your age)
