>have a decent apartment
>Pfc with an alright paycheck

Cant give too much advice besides saying that military life helped my lazy ass do something decent.

I'm 22 and turn 23 in August, feels bad and old man.

Partly because I'm pretty idealistic when looking for a job, otherwise I don't even know. At least I'm currently on an unpaid internship.

I turned 22 last month, my current life situation:

>Unemployed
>Did a two year program at a local trade school from 2013 to 2015 but the job market is complete shit here
>Live in dad's basement
>Have a few IRL friends though
>Have a car
>No student loan debt

I have a job interview for a decent gig on thursday but with my luck lately I doubt I will hear back from them afterwards.

I had done some half interesting things before I turned 21, which is when I hitchhiked my country for a year.
when I turned 22 I was off to a warzone on the other side of the world, in search of my "fortune"

>>35330095
Same boat as you.

>turning 22
>get canker sores constantly
>never been attracted to any female, might be asexual
>at the same time fantasize about being with a female
>buy expensive computer parts, that is my main hobby
>my other hobby is getting old school games to run
>I am stuck in the 90s and couldn't tell you anything about a game made in the last 10 years
>Don't know anyone my age, don't even see a human being younger than 40
>My social life revolves around messaging people who are somewhere else in the world and thus rarely if ever are on at the same time as me
>Nobody can really relate to me as all my knowledge revolves around games from the 90s, including a lot of terrible Doom PWADs.
>Could play better, but have an obsession with doing things in chronological order. Was hard enough to break it from being stuck in the hellhole 1970s.
>Spent more than a year of my life doing nothing but reading D&D manuals.
>Couldn't tell you much about those manuals as I absolutely hated reading about them and only did it due to chronology.
>Tried to diagnose myself for this obsession, psychologist apologized and said they had no idea how to help me.
>Used to be a lot worse, but still stuck in 90s on stuff nobody has ever heard of or would care about touching. Everyone only knows good Doom PWADs.
>Don't know anyone interested in technology. I feel like if I did I would sound stupid to them and they wouldn't like me. Plus they like modern games.
>I also am a hardcore pessimist that scares away normies. Everyone gets sick of hearing me "beat myself up over everything" and I have no idea how to stop.
>Trying to backtrack and say I am better than that.
>But all of what I described is just one half of me. I actually am two people living in one body, the other being a complete opposite of me, and only appears at weird peak times like Hyde. This one relentlessly bashes everyone else and brags about how much better I am.

Be happy you are just a normie neet anon.

What I thought I'd be like at 22
>in another state going to college for... something
>able to drive
>maybe had a gf
>still holding my old contrarian right-wing beliefs

I'm 21 now. All of those were assumed in the same way old relatives assume you're going to give them grandkids. I had this subconscious idea that they would just happen naturally with no conscious effort. I'm not even a romantic person in any sense of the word.

The start of 22 was a good time

>22nd birthday
>have a hot blonde gf
>take mdma with her
>play with my band at a basement show
>everyone in the crowd sings happy birthday to me as i'm rolling my ass off
>stare lovingly into my gfs eyes as she smiles at me
>play a great show
>get home and cuddle all night, didn't have sex because dick doesn't work on mdma
>wake up to gf making me an omelet

and then it went all downhill from there, but hey! good memories.

lets see
>4 years ago
>didnt work
>if i wasnt sleeping i was on my computer

that about sums it up.

>>35330095
>be 22
>graduated with my BSc
>didn't apply for a job, just sat around for a year doing nothing and then went to grad school

I'm doing OK, better than the past 4 years which were basically just a haze to me.

>>35330095
>Had a qt 18 y/o gf, short, fun, amazing
>Took her virginity, literally the tightest, wettest pussy I have ever felt, still think about it to this day
>Lived with my best friend, all of my classes were EZ, played video games all day every day, didn't have a job.
>Just lifted weights, fucked that napalm pussy, and hung out with my best bud. Going to bars and doing fun shit.

The dog days are over, but shit I had fun.

22 was a good year

I was full hikikomori from 17 until earlier this year when I turned 22.

I started lifting and looking for work, starting college this september. I was also a high school dropout but I somehow passed an entrance exam. Not sure if this is a Dutch thing but you can apply for special entrance exams here if you're 21+. I also turn 23 coming september.

At 22 I started unfucking myself. I do worry about how much of my youth I missed out on. Hope I can catch some of that in college.

I was a hiki playing vidya and watching anime all day in my moms basement. 7 years later and nothing has changed.

You'll all make it,

half way through 22 was when i turned my life around.

I was exactly that,
>high school dropout
>neet
>anxiety
>spent every waking moment on the computer, stay up to 5 am, sleep till 4pm.

Then I got sick of it and just had to do something.

I'm 25 now, turning 26 this year.
There was nothing remarkable about turning 22 for me. The usual NEETlyfe on goverment bux, living alone and all that. Same shit I had done since I was 15 years old.

22 22 i was 22 some years ago 22 22 22 22

>>35334962

>PFC at 22
nigga what
Did you join late or something?

>>35330095
At 22 I was in my last stage of apprenticeship, had moved out of my parents house, had a small tight social circle, a girl I wanted to marry, and was relatively happy with life
At 24 I attempted suicide and lost everything except my job and I'm currently working on rebuilding my life at almost 25

>>35335959

>>35330095
when i become 22 i think im gonna have lots of friends :D
haha who am i joking im a fucking dick with literally zero social skill i can't even talk to other awkward anons what the fuck is wrong with me

>>35330095
I'm still 22 and I barely even remember my 22nd birthday.... is that bad?

Basically 22 is when you are supposed to be graduating college. Well I have half an associates done, a shit job, no car, 8000 in the bank, no girlfriend or kiss ever, been on one real date my entire life and it was ruined by the smell of old spice deoderant. My mother still believes in me and thinks I will end up happy but I really don't care anymore and I get more annoyed over her stress about me than I care about myself. She's been bringing me to some "energy healing" person for the past few months, it's weird as hell but at least its kind of nice. At least it's not real therapy.

>>35336876
find atleast one good friend before you get lots of friends dude. Also some friendships just clicks from the get go, you could literally make a friend in a day, so dont worry.
