Is your life basically over once you hit 23?

Cause by that age, you either have a degree, with bonds formed during hs and uni, or you're just an old kid, a manchild and no one will see you as one of them even if you try to blend in, you either get a job and man up or stay a loser with no way to connect with anyone anymore.
I'm 26 with hs education, been NEET for 5 years, and with each passing year I feel a little farther from society, like it's just painfully obvious I will never party with friends (or have any), never experiment normal romance, maybe cyber dating with a fat whale if I ever get lucky, I will never belong in a group of people, even anime and video games are targeted for 20 years old at best.

I just feel out of this world and I don't see any way how it could get better.
When I was 20 it was loneliness, anxiety and depression that pushed me to become a NEET, my part time job would trigger me panic attacks from how pathetic the rest of my life was. Is it just the way how our current society is?

I would say it is more like 25 but basically the same. You can afford fucking around a few (3 maximum) years but if you don't have your education and the start of your career secured by 25 you probably lost in life forever.

Neural pathways are set past the ages of 13 and again when you're in your mid twenties. The neural plasticity of your brain is set.

There is no hope for improvement. You are who you are.
>>
>>35375217
Picture yourself blending into society. Now imagine this: you're hiding your robot impulses 24/7, your put on the mask of a high functioning normie and keep that mask on around your hypothetical normie girlfriend with whom you can't really connect on any level besides keeping up the appearances of being a normie and staying in a relationship for the sake of signaling your normie social status. Your only acquaintances are your normie coworkers with whom you feel no connection whatsoever. You can picture them talking about football or whatever fucking shlock was on tv last monday, with you just politely nodding and making some noncommital smalltalk. You're stuck in meaningless drudgery for decades, working in a field that has nothing to do with your talents or interests, until it's time for you to retire, at which point your body and mind are ruined by decades of stress and neglect. This is all there is to life.

Why don't you get a real job anons? Join a club or try going to church. It will definitely stop, or at least slow the ever growing distance between you and the society.

>>35375638
Social anxiety and panic attacks mostly. I haven't left the house in over a year and my parents don't give a shit. I can't pick up the phone without feeling my heart race and skip a beat, let alone schedule an appointment with a therapist or apply for a job. I don't want to die, but I want to vanish from the society. I don't want any friends, girlfriends, I don't have any dreams or ambitions, I just want people to leave me alone and pretend I don't exist.

>I just want people to leave me alone and pretend I don't exist.

You gotta realize this isn't sustainable, you should at least spend an hour a day practicing some sorta skill like drawing or graphic design. It doesn't matter if you are shit, you have plenty of time to become mediocre which can make you a meager living. Go to deviant art and see the shitty artist that make the equivalent of minimum wage from commissions. Again, the art isn't great but someone has to make that furry/diaper/inflation porn of Steven Universe x Squirtle.

If you don't do this, when the time comes you will have no choice but to work at some shitty job.

You're life is over when your heart stops beating and electricity stops running through your central nervous system.

fuck this "oh no my life is over because I'm 23" mindset.

you got a golden fucking egg in your goddamn hand, which is time.

you have the time to improve your life.
you have the desire, you wouldn't be posting otherwise.

the crucial thing to do anon is find the marketable thing that it is that you are good at, and fucking do it.
it doesn't matter what society thinks.
society is a human construct on top of another one.
it's bullshit.
it's designed to make you feel this way.

if you want a way out, start feeling the other way.
get angry.
you think these families with all their friends and shit actually care about each other in this day and age? they'll eat hamburgers at your bbq and then go home and talk shit about you.
you wanna know why?
because you'll be doing the exact fucking thing.
you see, you're not behind anyone or your life is not even close to being over (tentative).
It's the constant, internal comparing of others development and achievements in relations to your age.

Get mad you son of a bitch.

t. a guy wearing a collared shirt at 9:27 A.M. who six months ago would probably still be awake shitposting.

stop shitposting and start shitpiling.
then put that shit into a bag and then you can say you have it together.

disavow society, stop worrying about that shit. and focus on yourself for six months.
and nothing else.

take my advice, I'm going on 26.
Your alienation that you feel, that's you slowly realizing the veil of lies that this world displays to you, coupled with your circumstantial life experiences and other genetic mitigating factors, here you are.
better to die quick fighting on your feet, then to live forever begging on your knees.

the brain is incredibly plastic, friend.
it's so incredibly flexible it can partially convert what would be damaged and useless lobes to commit to other bodily functions.

saying there is no hope for improvement is the equivalent of signing the insurance of your self fulfilling prophecy.

you are who YOU are.
and you are wrong as fuck.

An external force is the only way.
I finally snapped and had to spend some time in jail a couple years ago and it made me realize that my life was way better outside of jail than inside
I guess it gave me some perspective and made me a bit more grateful for what I have and also gave me motivation to make steps in my life avoid going back there.

I was a neet until 24 and im 26 now. Heres my advice. Learn how to read a measuring tape. If you can already do that then good. Find your nearest temp job placing agency and just find any kind of factory job. Take their lil bullshit test with plus and minus basic math and a basic ruler/tape measure test. Get any job as soon as you can... the older you get the more those faggots look at you in a bad way and it gets harder and harder to get anything. Start now with google and search for your nearest temp job place.

Once you get something and if you hate it, then suck it up and tell that agency you want a new gig until they place you elsewhere. Plus you can put that place down as a previous job.

Once you realize that if you just work 8 hours a day, you can escape every mother fucker that knows you. Fuck co workers you can just not talk to them unless absolutely necessary.

Neural plasticity is set when ypu hit adulthood.
The only way to trigger the neural plasticity is either to cut one of your body parts, or become blind. That way you free some of the brain space that will be used to enhance one of the sense you have left.
You are what you are and you stay that way.
Now, you are wrong as fuck

what's wrong with being a man child with a job? As long as your job doesn't make you interact with people then there's nothing wrong with it. Take it from me, I'm 31 and have a great job that pays well but I don't have to interact with anyone to do it so I still act and dress the same as when I was 20, in fact it's better now because I have money to spend on cool shit. Of course it helps that I have a babyface and everyone thinks I am still like 20.

Late night security. My job is to let maybe 6 people in the gate since their badge wont work for whatever reason. The rest of the day is playing on my phone and driving around in a golf cart checking meters. Its pretty comfy.

Each conversation lasts 5 seconds. Sometimes I only work 3 days a week because some faggot called in. They limit me to 45 hours.

You dont even need experience.. just fill out their shitty simple application. On the previous job section just put any fast food joint and say you worked there for a year at least. Im 100% sure they wont even call that place.. they just want to see that you have had a job.

Good luck at being a wagecuck hermit.. its really not that bad. Dont have to see parents or any family or friends.

That is interesting, I didn't know cutting off your body part or becoming blind was also inclusive of:

>>using fucking cochlear implants
>>localized brain damage treatment
>>pain management
>>physiological activity dependent motor-neural pathways.

All shown to be active in healthy adults into old age.

and if you are trying to be, stick with rudimentary biology maybe be a 5th grade science teacher, and for mankind's sake stop trying to understand neuroscience.

STOP that bullshit right there.
This is where you learn not to be a doormat and know how to negotiate when it comes to getting compensated fairly for your exchange of life hours for fun coupons.

if not in a position to have a living wage, or steady source of passive income, and you don't have the drive to do what you need to do to fucking survive in this world of abundance (depending on location) don't worry. Charles Darwin seemed like he had a pretty good idea of where your naysaying ass is getting selected, naturally.

society decides how much money you get.
I fart in the mouth of society while they pay me to do it.
YOU decide how much money you TAKE.

Churchgoers are friendly and are almost always willing to take in a "troubled soul" type or offer them some sort of kick into the right path to success.
you can't just show up to mass and be like gib job pleaz.
you have to build a rapport with the pastor.
they ask if there are newcomers at every church every meeting. that's your time to shine.
tell them what they need to hear.
you see it's not about god.
it's quite the opposite.
it's about letting bobby and donna smith, stroke their egos about how they helped that person get back up on their feet, FUELED BY THE RED HOT ENERGY OF JESUS.

you gotta act the part if you're not religious by the way.
