18 year old me:
>addicted to MMORPGs, hate work, hate school
>even get annoyed when friends want to hang out because it takes away from vidya time
>set a goal to get the easiest job I can find so I can spend all my time playing vidya and never worry about anything

Me now (30)
>still play Everquest, an 18 year old game, even though I hate it strictly out of nostalgia because everything else bores me even more
>have a job making almost 6 figures a year where I "work from home" (aka play vidya while I have outlook open on my laptop) 3 days a week
>mfw I achieved my goal in life
>mfw I'm more miserable than I have ever been

Anyone else achieve what they thought they wanted in life and still want to die?

See a psychiatrist. Your insurance should provide.

I'm sorry you still feel unhappy, but hopefully you feel somewhat accomplished in that you were able to get yourself into this position that you thought you wanted. What do you do? Maybe this job can open doors for you

The problem is that you have no goals and aren't improving, anon. An easy place to start is to improve your mind and body, exercise if you didn't already and read some philosophy every day. While you're doing that and start to feel like you're improving, find a hobby or passion. You seem to have more than enough disposable income and time to chase it and luckily you're youthful enough too. Personally I'm into martial arts and I try to improve every day, you might find something else to get good at.

Also, count your blessings. Currently you have so much time, money and health that the entire world is open to you. Recognize how lucky that makes you.

A lot of people think working from home will be great, but it's actually pretty alienating if you aren't completely asocial.

Go back into the office. Sexually harass chicks in their 20's.

>>37848427
Oversaturation, anon. Find new hobbies.

I've got a master's in accounting and I stayed away from big firms/auditing. The pay isn't as good as in public accounting but it's still more than enough for a single guy.

Have thought about that for years, just don't like the idea of being on antidepressants. On the other hand I self-medicate with weed anyway so why not give the pills a try?

Probably true, I did start taking jiu jitsu earlier this year, which made me feel a shit ton better at first, but I've had to slow down in recent weeks because of a rib injury.

I know that by most measurements I'm a lot better off than most people I know, but I always only end up comparing myself to the guys who have it better. So while I've got a ton of free time and disposable cash, I'm looking over at the guys I know from HS/college who make twice what I do and have hot ass wives who love them.

The hedonic treadmill is a bitch, 10 years ago I was psyched if I had a free afternoon with no responsibilities to just play vidya all day, 5 years ago I was psyched if I had enough disposable money to see a movie or buy myself some chipotle, now I've got all the free time in the world and $20k in my checking account and just sit at home bored because nothing interests me. Doesn't help that all my old friends are married with kids and too busy to hang out with the loser who's still single at 30.

inb4 someone tells me how easy it is to get girls when you're "rich." I can't exactly go around introducing myself like "hi, I'm anon, I make $95k a year!" even though that would be nice, I've seen plenty of qt cashiers and shit at fast food places who might actually be impressed by that.

Just be aware that some medications are hell to start on (they start working properly in a month) and you need to watch for interactions.

>>37848747

I thought you said you hated school, now you got a Master's?
>>
>>37848922
Sure I guess, got a channel?

>>37848945
I hated it because I found it boring and it got in the way of my vidya time, but I was always a great student, the shit came easy for me and I knew that if my grades ever started to slip even a little bit the first thing my parents would do was blame the video games and take them away
