How are we doing?

Im getting tired a lot. Im happy, but fuck life is a lot of work.

Its nice to be happy. Ill tell you straight up, I am 25 now, and 5 years ago, being 20 years old, working at a call centre, failing uni, somehow being poor even though I was working 50 hours a week, living in my parents house with dreams of making it in a metal band (that I didnt have since I had like one friend who even played music), its nice to be in a better headspace.

33 NEET moved back with parents a couple years ago.

Gonna pick a city and move there and try to start a new life. One final chance at making it.

NEET frogposters are right; I do have to spend my time slaving away, grinding down to get money to pay for a place to store my shit while Im at work (aka a house), a lot of my wekeend free time is taken up by cleaning my fucking place.

Its a lot of effort to keep friendships alive. Now one of my friends has kids, another has an actual wife, and the third is running his PT business (yes I really only have three friends since one stopped talking to me after a fight about money he owed me), I cant just drop around at a moments notice like we used to do to each other a few years ago.

Its june and I have seen these guys a total of about 4 times. Not each, in total. One not at all this year. Its hard work to negotiate, organise, and not feel personally attacked when they prioritize other things over you. Its also lonely sometimes.

Trying to study to advance my career, but everytime I start, I immediately put the book back on the shelf because its too hard.

I spend more time more happy than unhappy though. It is also fucking good to be in my own house. It might be a pain in the fucking arse to keep it in order, but I can jack off wherever the fuck I like.

Money is also nice to have. I am looking on ebay for a few OG era pokemon and yugioh cards I want, a beyblade and tony hawks for ps2 because i fucking can. Its nice to be able to do this.

Have you got monry saved up? Bond deposit, few months rent incase you struggle to get job, power connection fee, internet connection fee, moving your shit?

Its tough man. It cost me a lot when I moved out of my parents and 500m down the road, let alone a new city.

>>37464459
>going off to college and being totally supported by Bank of Mom and Dad doesn't count
Yes it does. Its a big step. I was told by a recruiter today the biggest thing I have going for me on my resume was not my experience, but my degree.

>>37464308
The mindstate between being 23 (im so young hahaha i dont have to get serious! im so young!) compared to me now at 25 (oh fuck my life is slipping by i need to get a move on oh my god) is amazing since its 24 months of difference. Not 24 years, a few months.

Turning 27 this month and I'm depressed as fuck. I'm getting to the point where I'm about to hit the wall and I feel like I haven't done or seen most of what I want to with life and I'm not sure if I'll ever get to because my chronic pain take up so much energy and some days leave me immobile.

I wish I had the passion for things like I did when I was younger and could still keep the knowledge and skills I've gained since realizing my entire view of the world six years ago was based on a conman's lie to steal wives and get money.

I'm not a virgin but I've never been kissed. Women approach me but I end up ghosting a lot of them because I see that they could bring me down and I can't trust. Have never had good sex where the other person cared about my enjoyment.

Not sure if I want to love past thirty because of the adhedonia I'm experiencing be a use of it all.

>>37464551
nah I'm $25 in credit card debt. but what's a little more debt for those kind of expenses? it will be worth it so i can get a job and pay that shit down.

Initially, I'll only take what I can fit in my car. I've already boxed up the rest of my stuff so it can be shipped to me at a later date (will cost about $350-400 to ship it all).

Maybe. Ive been here since the beaches and shores wordfilter, so staying in this cesspit voluntarily for that long should say something about how "normal" I am.

>>37464427
>I have done everything that should have allowed me to succeed
What exactly have you done anon? A recruiter today told me that being 25 is way too young to work on the team hes putting together, as the median age is 35. That in a way made me feel good about my lack of progress at my age.

Been having some pretty severe impostor syndrome as-of late. It doesn't really matter what I do at work, I keep getting paid, even if I don't bother to work for 2 weeks at a time.

It is bizarre and unsettling; Either they trust me enough that they don't care what I report on my logs, or my contributions don't really matter as long as I come in and yell at everyone every few days. I'd like to think it's the first. I'm in a creative role that not a lot of people understand, and I know I need to be there to provide leadership and coherence to the project.

I think we're going to make it though.

I'm also feeling like a severe hippy these past few weeks. I've been doing mushrooms & LSD more than I should, to the point where my tolerance is building back up. It's put me in a good mood at least, and I've been helping others talk about their feelings and mental illnesses. I still don't have any friends though. It would be nice to meet someone locally, but the midwest can be a lonely place when you're not a part of a church.

Thanks for reading my blog!

I know feels similar to this. If I do outstanding work, noone really cares. If I do nothing, noone really cares. I prefer to think its the second reason; no one cares about my work. Which is fine, because I get paid.

>>37464563
Nigga I dont know what the fuck to say. You have contact with people who could make you happy, and you ghost them because ???

Youve fallen for the redpill / mgtow meme and arent even going your own way. All I can suggest to you is to NOT be yourself, and try being someone else, because this clearly aint working.

I placed my penis in a woman just 6 hours ago.
Couldn't do a lot because no protection/I was going to cum quickly so just went a few thrusts and got her to blow me.

Finally hit the 25 club. Still living at home because housing prices here are retarded (2.5k per month for a apartment), work is okay, pays decent and is full time but not enough to live alone. I detest the thought of room mates too.
>>
>>37464672
That whole 'im so young haha' hate people that act that way, so I've always tried to somewhat act mature/grownup

As for the medical bills, I had a case of phimosis and because of no insurance, got hit hard. Doesn't really help that the lady that did my taxes fucked up majorly and somehow only got me back $30 even though all the years prior I got around $1200 to $1500 back even without insurance (thanks obama) and because the local hospital staff cares more about getting paid then actually helping me get insurance, gotta pay about $2,100 for 'surgery'

I don't know how I'm doing. I'm by all means a complete loser. But I'm slowly improving.

The positives right now are

But

Your right. I don't now why I feel so mortified about it all though. I guess its like I can see the NEET ship has sailed to the brink of the horizon and is nearly out of sight, gone forever.

I'm turning 27 in November, the late twenties are here now.

A few months ago I decided to pursue a Masters of Social Work. Recently quit my job at a restaurant and am looking for a part-time job in human services. Feels like I'm going down the right path but who knows.

Also about to start collecting disability pay for schizophrenia.

Can't swipe too much, the jews that make the app force you to pay for extra swipes, so it's better to swipe those that look like they might have a remote chance of swiping you.

The positives in your life sound really positive. It also sounds like all your negatives are from women. You could kill yourself over women like a little bitch, or you could find a new one, and enjoy your good job and friends.

Short term contracts are only good when you have the career capital to easily sail into a new contract. It doesnt sound like thats you.
>>
>>37464743
First one had kids and delusions of dating celebrities, third seemed abusive and Ive already done that with the last two women i dated.

Ive been cyborging for six years and roboting before that, do I settle for the next one that comes around or just keep up being fit and fake it until I make it elsewhere in life?

>I can never live like a carefree child again
You never were living that way. I guarantee you were wanting so badly to move out of your parents place and be seen as a real adult. Its here, and you can be more child like than ever. You think you would have gotten away with eating frootloops for every meal of the day and playing spyro in your underpants as a neet in your parents house without someone shaming you?

Thats how I spent last saturday, because im in MY house.

The amount of free swipes is sufficient to swip through every single person in your area in a week if youre keeping track of the cooldown.

Nah the negatives go far deeper. Like a terrible amount of debt. A lovely diagnosis of bipolar that helped cause said debt. Being 28 and never living on my own. A criminal past, never having real friends growing up.

Women wouldn't be the reason I off myself. It's more a disgust of how much of a failure I turned out to be. Plus I feel so empty. But that could be the downturn I think I'm about to have.
>>
I'm 31, and most of my friends are couples at this point. Being the only single guy of the group would be bad enough, but what's really making things hard is that I keep having taken girls from my groups come on to me. I don't know what to do, it makes things awkward as fuck and it's forcing me away from what little social life I still have.

Just this last weekend I had it with two separate women from separate groups, and with their BFs nearby in both cases. One girl was all over me and grabbed my crotch while he was watching, and to make it even more awkward I don't really know him, she's the one I met and "clicked" with, so I know I seem like some Chad rolling in to cuck him, and that's the opposite of what I'm trying to do. I just want people to have drinks with and chat about common interests and whatever, ya know?

Another girl does it in front of her BF all the time, and also says stuff to me privately and whatever, and she's even more confusing. He doesn't seem to care, and it's making me wonder if he's an actual cuck or what.

Meanwhile single girls treat me like I don't exist. I just don't get it.

This does concern me, and is why I need to study so I can make myself even more specialised in the networking field. No robot is gonna replace a fucking network architect.

I sobbed, I couldn't control myself. I was alone in that engine room, as I had been for the past 4 years. It hit me like a ton of bricks.


I am so tired...
I wish for deep and meaningful sleep and have pleasant dreams in which I cannot wake.

i have to go back to school and get a reliable job that i can survive on comfortably before my mom dies, otherwise i'm screwed.

i wanted to get braces, but i just don't see the point anymore. i need to be securing a financial future, not worrying about my confidence with women.

i feel like by the time i finally get my life together, i'm gonna be in my mid 40s and it will be too late for me to do anything with women, it'll just be time to die, that's a wrap.
shoulda tried harder in school, didn't realize it would be a death sentence.

I worked at the shittiest jobs you can imagine, picking with illegals and greenhouse cleaning. greenhouse cleaning is the fucking worst of all. and a lot of those dudes in their 40s-50s have wives and people they fuck. The only reason why they say we need a stable job is because we are ugly and uncharasmatic so we need to make up with it by having money.

Don't feel bad about being a older student, those other people ain't living your life, fuck what they think. You gotta get yours and stay focused and do you.

I blame society. Those normie memes about 25 being when people start asking you about your "career" and "when youre gonna have a family" are real.

The advice is simple. Do NOT be yourself. Yourself got you into this mess, you think being the real you will fix it?

>I've seen many people in their 30s go to community college and get great jobs
Going to school when your older is the way to do it. I pissed away my time at uni as a teenager / early 20s. I rode the "P's get degrees!" train, and as a result I got a 3.1 gpa, and am now having to restudy topics I have already covered from my time in uni, on my own time and money now.

Youth is wasted on the young.

yes im 25+. my problem is minor enough for a retainer, i'm just too scared to go to the dentist/ortho. i'm afraid they'll take all my money, which again, comes down to stable job with benefits.

stable job that pays enough for me to survive is the key right now.

Sorry, I just proof read it just then.

I've always wanted to be a pilot, so I try and scrounge up what I can to get my hours up.

26 KHV.

Found out I passed my masters a couple of days ago which is a load off my mind. Can't be arsed to go to the graduation ceremony, I never went to any previously either.

Had to buy a new car recently because my old one (a Vauxhall Corsa) is now beyond repair. I fucking hate normalfags' attitude towards car, I couldn't give a fuck what it looks like or how big the engine is, I just want it to work and get me from one place to another without constantly breaking down. My family are all up their own arses about getting cars which match their jobs or lifestyle, so I've ended getting an Audi A3 to stop them from constantly going on at me about getting a good car.

Should be updating my portfolio for revalidation in a couple of weeks but I'm reading manga and listening to Drum & Bass instead. Feels good man.

To extend on this, nearly everything you do that seems negative is really a defence against change. The reason you tell yourself that only chads get girls is because it stops you from changing into the kind of man who women want. Because only chads get girls, therefore you don't have to make an effort anymore.

I woke up in the AM with the urgent need to shit. I had a violent explosive diarrhea episode, then went back to sleep.
I woke up later with the same need to shit, the same violent evacuation, the same tiredness.
Now I need to go shit out a small amount of almost clear water every hour or so, its such an urgent need I feel I will shit myself, I have to run there.

I think I may have poisoned myself.

Getting an apprenticeship is impossible if you're >17 and haven't already spent a year or 2 in work experience or trade certificates

Best alternative is being a labour hand on a build site that you find in the paper or Gumtree
Expect to be paid decent enough cash buy some immigrant boss after you work you fucking ass off all day hauling shit
good luck anon

Because my current job is also killing my social life. I have to work on the weekends which keeps me from going out and seeing people. I also hate my coworkers and I know that most people make their friends at work so I hope at a new job I could have a chance to actually meet people to hang out with.

I also just hate the industry (IT) so I know I want to jump into another career entirely. That's kind of the problem though, it's hard to jump industries.

28 and just got kicked out of engineering.
I'm still a student at the college so I have to pick another major.
I'm at the point now though where I don't really have any ambitions. Not sure what to do.
I feel like if I just drop out I'll regret it but I don't know what else to major in. I'm getting old as fuck and kind of just want to wage slave in peace.

No I was a business major in college and just happened to find an IT job that paid pretty well.

If you work on the weekends, you arent even in the industry. Your job is shit, probably because you are shit. Anything that is actually not garbage will be 9-5, M-F.

>>37468596
Thanks for the inspiring words

for the record I did work 9-5 M-F but I hated my coworkers so when an opening came on the weekend shift I took it.

And I don't want to be in IT, I feel like I've made that clear. I don't care if I'm a shit IT person.

because its a call centre. its awful, soul crushing work that pays peanuts. You need to remember its nothing but a stepping stone.

you need to be able to sit and handle 250 people a day hurling abuse at you down the telephone for probably 18 months to receive NV2 clearance. That is the golden ticket out of the place.

I'll give it a shot just for that dank NV2 clearance (even NV1 would be fine too). I would take having to deal with rude people while having a full time APS job over something chill and casual like being a handyman because at least the hours are full time. Since most entry level jobs are dead end these days, might as well pick one that adds something new and useful to your resume. My biggest fear is to reach 30 (25 now) with a HECS debt and nothing to show for it in terms of professional experience. I know plenty of people our age or a bit older who settled into being a barista or a retail manager after uni and didn't move on.
