What phase are you at, robotos?

I'm 26 and I can feel the transition to 27 now, this seems accurate desu

18-20

I already don't care for tfw no gf or anything at all. I don't have interests and all new things I try aren't interesting. I should probably end it before it gets to the later stages

20 year-old here, at what age does it become "too late"?

Doom phase.

Enlist in the military. Regardless of age, this will stop this process, and get your life on the right track.

Shit that's close to me. I know 8 people, fucking 8, that are either married or getting married. Ever since I told my patents about my depression all interactions have been seriously fucking awkward. But I'm grad school so that's a bonus. I'm currently failing ;_;

This is the stage that I'm personally at

I'm at 21 and it describes my perfectly. Most of the people I went to HS with are having kids and stuff, I'm just fucking around and getting black out drunk

>>36523901
Tried this and was literally a day away from taking the oath and joining the British Army when I failed the very last check of the medical. Can't try again until I hit 22 I'm sure

Where should I go with a high school degree?

Ausfag

There's no way I'd make it in the military

Strictly speaking no. But people do routinely get into the military and stay in the military if they are functional. Are you drug free and currently capable of being a functional human being?>>36523968

>>36523316

I'm at the 24-26 phase. Fortunately my mother is one of those people who is and always will be proud of me even though I'm an abject failure. As such, I will be spared from the worst of it.

sorry to hear. at least the advice applies to some people though.

>>36523901
I was considering joining the Navy or USAF, but I have asthma which shows no signs of recuperation or ease. It was quite disappointing for me to get asthma and lose the only idea of a future for myself.

I should just join something shitty like the French Foreign Legion. At least I would learn some good skills.

i'm 21 and got an associates degree at a trade school, never had a real job but am moving out of state to where there are actually jobs in my field

but so far everything else seems accurate. i dont feel like ive accomplished anything

This is excellent advice, but only in the sense that it's worth a shot. Two years in the Air Force did jack shit for me, once I was discharged for PT test failures I was right back to being an aspergets NEET failure.

So if any fellow robots do join the military, exercise every single day. Don't let your overwhelming anxiety and lack of motivation deter you. Although that's impossible for many of us, including myself.

>>36523316

Go for it lad. Godspeed.

>>36524128
I'm not trying to be mean, but there is really no excuse for failing the Air Force's PT test. Maybe re-enlist as prior service and get it right? You would be able to skip basic, yes?

Thanks
The worst part is that every man in my family for the last four generations has served in the military.
If I was 18 again, or I could go back and warn my younger self, i'd tell myself to enlist. Being in the military is goyish but it's also a fairly good life compared to being/becoming a 30yo NEET

>there is really no excuse for failing the Air Force's PT test

Don't worry, I've heard that same sentiment countless times. My explanation is that there are very, very different levels of robotdom. The robots who are so emaciated and skelly (like myself) have a dramatically harder time doing the 35 pushups, 42 situps, and 1.5 mile run in 13 minutes. I know every single average male would be like "oh, that's super easy bro" but for an Auschwitz-mode autist with lyme disease, who can't even go to the gym do to agoraphobic panic attacks, it's as hard as a noob attempting a Dark Souls Level 1 Run.

It's funny, all the comments I've read over time mentioning how easy it is to pass the PT test really made me realize how wildly varied robotdom truly is. Some robots have a great deal of hope and potential. Other robots, like myself, have nothing. No hope, no future, no fitness, no social ability, nothing.

>>36524287
I'm pretty skelly and only the 1.5 mile run would make me squirm at the thought
But with time, practice and knowing I only had to do it once; it would be quite do-able

Why don't you spend 6 months practicing and then re-enlist?

i'm on my way out

Nearing doom phase, but he's not 100 percent right about human nature. Him using maybe is a faggy way to lump the whole human race into his metaphorical stamps of phases.

If a felon can get married after decades of incarceration, robots could. He's an overly negative faggot.

The truth. Nothing ever held you back then dissapeared at any point, so...

Truthfully...

Is that you were doomed from the start. When you didn't get your first gf at a young age, friends, and all of that in middle and HS. If you didn't fuck anyone by age 16 you'll probably fail at life.

Also, I meant to add that I appreciate your recommendation, and I definitely do wish I could take up that option of re-enlisting, but unfortunately it's impossible for me for many different reasons (main one being the type of discharge I got.) But thank you for the advice anyway. I could technically join a different branch but I'd need to lift weights and train for a year or so (I look like I just escaped a concentration camp) and more importantly fix my mental illness, which I'm not even sure is actually possible.

I am in the middle.

>>36524131
It feels horrible yet I cannot stop. Every time I try to fix it, I fucking hate it, so its a cycle of misery really. If I'm not on my PC I'm miserable.

>>36524351
It's the easiest one besides the army dipshit

>>36524384
Not to worry my brethren. I honestly have no clue how I passed MEPS and basic training, I guess a combination of suppressing my autism and pure adrenaline for the final PT test. But I'm in a much, much worse state now than I was back then. Even the military psychiatrist (who diagnosed me with paranoid schizoid disorder) noted that he could tell my mental state had been far more damaged than six months before.

Then again, there are robots who would probably consider me a cyborg for even being able to pass basic, so it really is true how very wide the robot spectrum is.

lol, that's what every teenager thinks.

Whoever wrote this is being disingenious. It's idiotic to suggest that everyone has their lives figured out by 20-- Not to mention, alot of those people will have setbacks and fuckups possibly worse than yours.

This guideline is so disconnected from reality that it's veritably useless. There's a big wide world out there, and nobody gives a fuck that you don't fit in. Your enjoyment of life doesnt have to end just because you're an outcast or mentally ill.

My guess is, whoever wrote this probably didn't get help for his problems.

If you're one of us, you should be kinder to yourself, and get help too.

32 years old friendless, kissless, virgin here. Not a NEET, have a job, but besides that I don't go out.
After you're 30 you're starting to just resign yourself to being alone. When you truly, finally accept that there will be no one else in your life, it's like a heavy weight drops from your back. The despair fades, you stop caring about others. You start feeling good with yourself. It's not life, but this existence doesn't hurt.

Experiments have demonstrated that people behave differently depending on the meaning they prescribe to events and circumstances.


Condition 1
>you go to the movies
>when you go to purchase your ticket, you find you've lost $10, the exact cost of a ticket
>what do you do, call it a loss and go home, or buy your ticket anyway and see the show?
Most people buy a ticket and see the show.

Condition 2
>you buy a $10 movie ticket early in the day
>when you go back to the theater for the showing, you realize you've lost the ticket
>what do you do, call it a loss and go home, or buy a new ticket?
Most people go home.


What's the difference between a person in group 1 and group 2?
Both are out the same amount of money.
But the one who had already used it to purchase a ticket interpreted the loss as meaningful feedback about their decision and decided that movies are bad investments.

You've done the same with your years, instead of your dollars.
Those years are gone.
You can either go home, out of respect for your unsuccessfully invested years, or you can spend your remaining years buying a new ticket and seeing the show.

I agree completely about there being different kinds of robots. I'm in the same boat as you, I'm a bit underweight and exercise is really hard on me and it makes me light-headed. I tried enlisting in the Navy but I couldn't even pass MEPS because I failed the fuck walk. My recruiters tried encouraging me to keep trying but I knew I would never be able to pass basic training, it would have just been a waste of time and another disappointment in my life.

I've never met anybody in real life who thought that running a mile is hard, everyone just unanimously agrees that it's easy as hell... I've never understood that

If you go that route, keep you head down, don't drive drunk, and keep track of your money. Hands on skills with a business sense can make a good buck.

Having worked in the semi-skilled trades(previously landscaping, currently a cook) the work hard party harder lifestyle has a fair share of DUIs, ODs, and debt.
