35. one of my cousins is an '86 too, recall thinking I couldn't believe that little brat is turning 30 last summer.

>>34284015
I am 27 does this count

I mean my life is extremely pathetic, but at least I know what is wrong with it now

>Failed Normie

Nothing makes me happier knowing that there's plenty of other fucked up 25-35 year olds around here.

Makes me feel not so shitty after all. (29 HHKV)

>>34284015
Just turned 35, I've enjoyed my thirties so far.

>>34284498
Yeah we just tend to mill around all the faggot and trap threads.. a lot of really degenerate and confused kids on here.. Fucking I just have mental problems like serious ones. This board is literally over run with degenerate faggots and thing is you can't even tell if they are joking anymore or not

Some of them are alright but a lot of these kids are just so fucked --> the type that are waiting to kill themselves and have accepted this so they are just going to literally act as degenerate as they possibly can

Godless monsters all of them

>>34284015
I'll be old enough to join your club next year.

>>34284606
I'll be able to in less than four months. We will all make it, to hell.

It's interesting to see how fewer responses this thread has gotten compared to your average 25+ board. Do most robots actually get it together in those 5 years? Or do they just become lost to the void?

>>34284666
I'd say they do. Most hit a break-point at 25 where their parents eventually give them final notice, which probably kicks them into gear and they at least get a job and perhaps move out and eventually meet some obese ugly woman that becomes their girlfriend.

I'm 29 and still here, prob because my parents are so easy on me, and let me stay with them no matter what and always treat me like their little baby.

>>34284545
What are your mental problems?

>>34284498
Actually 30+ posters are mostly Chads and normies. Very few wizards or failures.

t. 36 year old Chad. I was kinda robotic in my early 20s though.

>>34284801
Define chad.
The robot can give me a rimjob.

>>34284666
I think you grow up to some degree because literally like its a dark place continuing down a perpetual path of self loathing

Been there its pretty bad

>>34284015
how do you fight the urge to die?

>>34284829
Everyone here argues all the time about what is the definition of Chad or robot. I prefer simple definitions. Chad is someone successful in life and with girls. A robot is the opposite, a total failure in everything.

>>34284861
I meant why do you consider yourself chad? By what metric for success are you going by?

Lvl 35 wiz here, still living with parents. How's your life going, you got house, wife, kids and the whole package? Nice car?

>>34284895
Oh I mean I don't I wasn't the one you asked the question to.

I have had a lot of success with women but way way more failure and I mean times where I should have easily closed the deal

But I was in a really dark place sort of destroyed my life

Got a second chance going to actually try to do it right

>>34284928
Got a well paying job, own apartment, gf, no kids, nice car. Does that make me a Chad?

Turning 30 on Tuesday. Haven't felt the effects of aging too much yet fortunately, at least outside of being burnt out to shit, but that's been status quo since I was 25.

>>34284976
No chad isn't monogamous I think it just makes you happy. You are happy right?

Not sure if it does, to me Chad isn't necessarily a grand player like >>34285010 suggests. But more the sort of guy who's really charismatic, successful and popular, he's in good shape and well educated. My cousins husband I'd call Chad, right after finishing his engineer degree he invented this new type of "sandwich metal sheets" that are super light and strong, started up some company and then he sold it off for loads and proceeded to take a comfy and well paid employment in another company, got 3 kids and that family is out travelling the world all the time. He's super charismatic with lots of interests (hunting in particular) and everyone likes him.

Congratulations on being a lot more successful than me though, senpai-dono!
What car do you drive for the record, and what job do you hold?

37 here, it doesn't get easier.
It doesn't get better

36 here, shit job, shit car, shit flat. Pretty content though, more or less.

>>34285126
I'm sure If you actually tried it might.

>>34285126
You sort of have to learn how to deal with it to avoid getting stuck in your ways man

See that's what I am trying to do because honestly if I continue thinking and perceiving the way I do I know I am fucked

Ive got a small window here.. gonna make the best of it

you don't have to try hard for things to get better, that's a cliche when people say that.

all you really have to do is save up money and make the right choices.

>>34285460
This guy is right. Money trumps all.

Fuck, I'm 40. Surely there must be someone older on this godforsaken board.

>>34285638
Holy shit please tell me about your life. I am genuinely interested.

any grandpas interesting in watching the trump inauguration with /r9k/

>>34285298

>>34285675
Fuck off , 40 isn't old. You make it sound like he lived through the first world war.

>>34285689
It is for someone on this board. You must understand that it isn't often you encounter a robot of this age.

>>34285714
You're encountering a 36 year old right now. Feel enlightened?

28 khv here. On the dole, live in me mums basement. I get drunk and fucked up on drugs, sleep 12 hours a day, then I stay up all night to avoid my family.

I hope I die soon, but I don't care enough to do anything about it. I'm comfortable.

>>34285675
I once had a fairly normal life, but about 12 years ago I just stopped being interested in having friends and relationships, probably due to a mix of depression and horrible anxiety. Now I have no friends. Zero. I stay inside as much as possible, work from my shitty apartment, and maybe talk to another human in the outside world (usually a random cashier if I have to go to a store without a self-checkout) world once or twice a week.

>>34285750
Shit, that's my story too, if you throw in raging alcoholism

>>34285748
THESE ARE THE THINGS I WANNA READ... GREAT

>>34285762
The raging alcoholism is almost mandatory.

>>34285714

You're objectively stupid if you think 4chan is for young people, you stupid fucking tourist

>>34285831
I'm not saying it is I'm just saying they're the vast majority. Whats the matter gramps did the nurse forget to give you your meds?

>>34284666
i think most 30 year olds are just too old to have ever gotten started posting on 4chan. i think in 5 years, there will be many more 30 year olds here. if you're still a robot at 25, you probably will be at 30. basically after 22, your fate it set in stone.

Been coming here in my teens and I don't think it will change anytime soon.

>>34286059
>28 years old and i still spank to ecchi and hentai.
how can you stand it?

>>34286059
Nothing wrong with that, I haven't fapped to 3d in years.

>>34285689
40 is pretty old man basically half your life

31 years old failed normie here. The thing that gets me is how time flies and how you feel your dreams really start to get out of reach. You feel time has running out and theres no coming back from wageslavering and sleeping.

Alcohol becomes the main coping mechanism.

You feel like life is short and has no meaning.

>>34286321
I feel like life is way too long

Will be 47 in a month.

Background: schizoid: no friends, no significant other, don't want them, never wanted them.

Only problem is alcohol, probably doing things to my health, but I like it, most likely won't stop until something major happens.

>>34286321
>and how you feel your dreams really start to get out of reach
What dreams?

58 in June
Still awake, I have occasional insomnia and a pretty bad prostate, so I fill the early morning here.
Never married, no kids. I was career Navy, nothing great I was in supply aboard an aircraft carrier, did 35 active and last June I retired from the reserves with a total of 40 years, made Senior Chief.

Coming up on 6 years now working in the kitchen at an Indian Casino, need the job to complete my social security and get my healthcare, probably stay until I turn 67and go on Medicare, fuck the drunks at the VA, wouldn't let them check my ass to see if it had shit in it.

Live in an Airstream I found abandoned and fixed it up, pulled it to a 5 acre plot I own, got a pickup and a smart car, a dog and a parrot, my place is totally off grid and since I have made no improvements to the land and live in a RV I only pay $100 a year in tax.
Been bald a long time, could probably stand to loose about 30 pounds, lost a couple of teeth 2 years ago in a fight at a bar, so now I just drink at home.
Life not too bad, not much where I am, pretty rural, a few methers in town, got a couple of guns and a rifle so not to worried, that's a good 25 miles away, got a lake with fish nearby and I will be getting some chickens in the spring and start getting fresh eggs, might even grow some tomatoes.
Does it get lonely, not really, got the same five fingered girlfriend I had in the service, been together so long it would be a shame to break up now.
Had to get reading glasses last month so now I have to swap out pairs, one to see away, one to see close and I creek a lot more than before.
Planning to head out to SoCal in September, visit the Getty, do Disneyland and eat at the chicken place at Knott's, don't like long drives so a two day bus ride it will be, I'll leave the driving to a fat black man.
Sometimes I do wish my dog could talk, but being female she probably wouldn't shut up.

>>34287381
Is this copypasta, I don't even care. Good story

>>34287381
Does it get lonely is one thing, but does it get boring? I'm bored all the time at 24.

>>34287434
No copy here, just a life lived with no frills or chills.
Getting ready to snow, again, here and I have work today, they don't get around to plowing out where I'm at.
Got a couple of Hillary voters in the kitchen, so they will probably not show for work or piss and moan all day, day after election day, you would have thought Hitler himself had been elected, bunch of worthless shots.
Saw that during my time in, started out with young men, ended my time with a lot of pussies and faggots, whine about anything and everything.
Hell if I was going to copy somebody's story I would have picked one more exciting, maybe a flight deck fly-boy, getting pussy by the mile.

>>34287451
That's the thing with people today always wanting to be entertained, life is mostly boring, just a few downs and some excitement now and then, if you keep busy then there's not much time to be bored, idell hands and all that shit, plenty to do and not near enough time to get it all done, if I get done with chores early and the weather is good, I have a hammock, nothing better on a nice afternoon than relaxing and listening to all the sounds from the land and watching birds, bugs and clouds, when I die I will probably wish for more time just enjoying being alive than I will for more time at work or watching the TV, a lot of it comes from being raised in a different time, you made due, you entertained yourself and believe me things moved a whole lot slower, bit you can't turn back the clock, you just make due, tomorrow will be the 15th inauguration since I have been alive, 12th president, Ike was in when I was born, Disneyland was only 4 years old, seen a lot, still hope to see some more, would like to see a man walk on Mars, find out if any life is really out there, find out if my Mom got to heaven like she hoped, guess I might find out myself about that.

>Does it get lonely

You ask if it's lonely, but I see your implication is that it's a bad thing.
I disagree with that, being lonely, or rather, being alone, is a good thing.
You will understand when you're older.

>>34287381
Were you ever in a serious relationship? How long ago?

>>34287381
This is bleak

>turning 31 later this year

Are you sure, OP? Don't you plan on skipping 31?

>>34287826
Hes a normal person. Just an old man who prefers to be left alone.

Not a robot. He has a job car been in military, takes trips, to disneyland no less.

Im not saying ree get out if here normie. Im just saying some robot wish they could be that independent and lived life as full as he has.

I'm 23

How do I not turn out to be a complete fuckup?

Oldfags please give advice

>>34288197
Get a career, not just a job.

Get as much education as you can while you're young.

Plan for retirement now. Start saving as much as you can.

Don't be in a hurry to marry. In fact, reconsider marrying at all.

>>34288226
30 year old grandpa here
agree with everything but the
>reconsider marrying at all
nah.
thats cuck talk

37 here, until now I always thought I was up there in regards to age in this board
>>34288197
Find something you can do well, it helps if you like it
I'll assume you're in college, so don't fuck it up but don't kill yourself with the work
I guess if I could give you one line: everything in life is a balancing act

>>34284015

32 here, going back to college for a second time, life is hell

>>34288319
I went back nights when I was 40. It was toght so that's why I recommended this >>34288226

>>34288265
Two of my kids live with their partners and aren't married. I always thought marriage was the ultimate institution of society but now I'm not sure.

>>34288197
Do things.
If you wait for life to happen, it will, it's just going to be the lowest available quality.

- finish studying
- get a job
- ask girls out
- work out, do confidence training if previous point seems hard
- don't fucking ignore it
- no you won't just meet someone
- with every year alone you just get worse and it'll be harder to get out

I'm going into trucking. Wish me luck lads.
My class is going to be paid for by the state and it's 5k worth of schooling. Teacher's cool.

31 here. Still here. With all the 18-24 year olds complaining about how life sucks.

>>34288438
Good luck. I've heard it can be a decent job, certainly one that doesn't get automated or outsourced.

Do you visit the truckerfag thread on /o?

>>34288197

Save up money
Don't get debts

that's it
