I cannot handle this, especially the last. How am I supposed to reintegrate into society when years of isolation (caused by myself, I don't blame anyone) made me into a dull person who is afraid to show any happiness out of fear of being disappointed?

I really dislike going to college and seeing more socially developed people younger than me who are farther ahead in life than I am. I don't want this degree I'm working for (with my parents' money who I still live with). If it wasn't for my family and a sense that I need to do something for the world / the race, I'd gladly take homelessness and an early suicide over 40 years of doing shit I don't like all day, everyday, just so I can have a house. Food out of the garbage is free! I'd much rather eat out of the trash than go to class.

>>36136903

Soon you're going to regret saying that when you actually become homeless. Then you'll realize that 40 years doing something you dislike, but using the money to do things you like is one of the best scenarios life offers.

Number one rule

Dont pay attention to ehat younger people are into

Im 26 and dont care. I just work play video games and watch anime.

You can feel strong generational gaps but there is nothing you can do

Just let it go.

Too bad it never happens when you're waiting for time to pass, when you're waiting for something or results. Then it's the opposite. So if you want time to slow down, get a goal.

>parents look old and sick

I can't handle this

We were memed into the good guy cliche.

When in the natural order of things (and human societies are based on it) everyone who is thriving now is because of doing bad things.

Like stealing, drug trafficking, labor exploiting others, scamming people, etc.

Sure I could have enjoyed youth: by becoming a drug addict at 13 and an alcoholic. Then engaging in fights and vandalizing things in the street. Bitches used to love that. The hottest woman in high school went all after bad boys.

So many years later they have found beta providers but they are still cheating to their husbands with bad boys.

Fuck this society of apes.

For any cheater there is an accomplice who is also at fault.
Still does not change the fact that society is giving bad people a sexual/economic reward.
In the old times it was the other way around: work hard, find a good job, and enjoy a normal life.
Now society is demanding thugs.

>>36137899

>For any cheater there is an accomplice who is also at fault.
What an idiot you are, but I didn't expect otherwise from someone who uses "meme" as a verb.

If you weren't so retarded you'd understand that sometimes the people that cheats doesn't tell the other person that they're in a relationship.

Oh god, this is the worst feel.

I'm an only child, with no exposure to relatives, no friends and no girlfriend. I only have my parents, but they're both getting old. Dad's almost 70, Mom's close to 60. They had me late as fuck, and it sucks seeing them deteriorate right before my eyes.

Dad almost died a few months ago to lung failure, probably from decades of smoking, I've been having more and more nightmares recently about the two of them just dropping.

Christ, it's tormenting...

I wish there was some help or advice I could give to you guys. Be good to your parents and spend time with them if you can

>>36138446
>> I'm an only child, with no exposure to relatives, no friends and no girlfriend. I only have my parents
Same here except my dad already died. I'm just waiting for my mom to die too and then my life is over no matter what I do.

I only get resentful around high school graduation time in my area. I'm just living for the sake of living at this point. If ever was to get my shit together, I would have already done it by now. It hurts like hell that the past is set in stone and my head is often filled with regrets. I just hope I don't roll snake eyes in my next life.

I'm 29 going on 30 in a few weeks. In all my years of shit jobs and little relationships I've realized if you aren't doing one of two things, you're wasting your potential.

>having kids
>getting rich

Since I won't be having kids any time soon (social retard) I plan to get rich or die trying. Truth is, it won't fill that void but it's much better than being stuck having to do shit you hate every day.

Financial freedom = more choices to do whatever you want = more opportunities to solves problems in your life

If all else fails, import a wife, pay a women to birth your kid, become a sugar dad, or adopt. Also, it is NEVER too late to start becoming rich. The founder of McDonalds franchising was in his 50s when he started raking in the millions.

>>36138814

In my case, my brother was the only link that held my parents and I together. I wouldn't of gave a shit if it wasn't for him.

I'm not sure what position you're in financially and to make a clean break altogether, otherwise they're shit isn't going to stop. Ever. I stopped giving them money, but as soon as my brother started working, it was nonstop begging. At 18 he lives with me now, and I hope he can live out his formative years without regrets to make up for the years of being homeless growing up.

this is fucking legit hell and it's going to happen within like 8 years because if one of my parents die, then the other will follow because they have been together for so long that they won't be able to handle the sadness at such a delicate physical state. Just work,come home to a empty house, and force myself to do hobbies that are less enjoyable now since parents are dead.

My dad is in his late 50s, very overweight and he has started to have heart palpitations in increasing frequency. His own dad died young. I think there is a distinct possibility he may have a heart attack.

If he does die there will honestly be no one left alive to prevent me ending my own life. I think that plus the combination of the intense grief I will feel will be the catalyst for my own death.

I don't envy the young ones.

The shit they will have to deal with in the future is overwelming.

Hey man, I really feel you regarding fear of disappointment. Expectations not being realized, the cycle of denial, rationalization, depression, never really reaching acceptance.

But it sounds like you're getting a second chance here to make your own memories. I think you'll eventually have to come up with explanations about why you missed out on "normal" experiences to tell others, but for now, I think it's probably most productive to just sort of focus on the present and give yourself a chance to make some happy memories without worrying about the bad ones from before. Hope things work out. :)

Oh well, yeseterday we went home 3 hours early from lab because he recieved some sort of mail from a girl he hasn't been in touch with for a long time and couldn't concentrate at all (well, we already did most of the work, what was left was writing protocols), so I hope we're "even" and he doesn't think less of me.
He's a bundle of energy and extroverted, so basically the polar opposite of me, although more in a slihtly nerdy way, than in a chad way and I can't wrap my head around how those people do it.

Spend most of the day playing 3DS (PC died some days ago), wondering how a 27 year old guy ends up being a virgin and fails to make any lasting friends.

I'm working right now, but it'll end eventually. I should rent a place and look for a stable job, but honestly, the loneliness through the years has sapped my will to even try anymore. If I had a mate, maybe I would have applied myself through the years. Sad I had to hit rock bottom to get anyone to pay any attention to me, even if it is in a negative light most days. At this point, realistically, I'm gonna blow all my earnings on mindless hedonism when the work is over, a LA drugs, liquor, gambling, and hookers.

What's the point in doing better? My life is going to be hard and short, I know this. There's no way up from here. I might as well enjoy what little I can.

I actually agree with this

I don't want to get all /pol/ on everything either but we are the last generation to live in a majority-white west and there will be severe negative repercussions that the future generations will have to work with, the first of which being severe unemployment for even college-educated whites (and minorities too obviously, but whites will be more severe than in the history of white westerners)

My parents are the greatest people I've ever met in my life.

They ocmpletely changed their lives for the sake of their children and I will forever be grateful to them for it. I wish I could be as good of a person as either my mother or my father.

All except the bus. I love riding up top on the bus when it's not crowded and you get a window seat, and maybe get to eavesdrop on some normalfags and pretend you're one of them while watching the suburban scenery go by. I got one of those bus cards too so I don't have to interact with the driver.

Also I went to a bar once, on the last day of school when all the teachers and students went together. It was great, everyone had a good time and the teachers and students were acting like good friends. I mostly just stood in the corner and watched until all the students left to go to a club, and then I said goodbye to some of the teachers who were still there. It was the last time I saw most of my friends, though none of them actually talked to me.

>Getting my bachelors degree at 25 years old just so I can go back to working in IT (gonna work my way up to Cyber security since the uni I went to did not have a certification program)
>No job atm because the job market hates school hours
>No college friends (They all either betrayed me or moved on)
>Girl I liked has a boyfriend now (she's 23, therefore she is gonna get married definetely)
>all my hobbies attract more males than females, so I have little to no female friends. Only female interactions I have are my mom, sisters, females doing customer service, and female associates who are my teacher, nutriotinist, doctor, etc.

>Broke as fuck, No money
>Live with my mom in her basement at 25 years old
>Mom doesnt mind helping me, but the more she helps me out, the more it kills me.
>Would blame my parents for how I turned out so fucked, but realized it was all my fault.

Only thing keeping me going has been adderall and Vyvanse, but I am running out and my health insurance expired because I was too retarded to renew it.

I feel like a kid in a grown man's body sometimes. I know I can get out of this...But I dont know where to start after getting a job and getting my own place. My last job paid 20/hour and I have found jobs I can qualify for that pay 25/hour...What do I do next? I'm sooo desperate at this point.

I also want to try dating or going to social places to see if it is for me so I don't feel like I missed out.

NORMIES AND CHADS, GIVE ME ADVICE BEYOND ADVICE
