Is anyone else trying to turn their life around after a long hiatus from it?
>be somewhat normal in high school
>shit happens to where I'm depressed as fuck for about seven years
>live off the kindness of my parents and the distraction from vidya
>finally get my drivers license and a job in 2015

I sincerely believe that my depressive NEET phase had destroyed something very fundamental inside me. I feel so alien and stunted. It's so hard for me to focus and I can't seem to approach anybody. The only people I talk to are co workers and people from my sambo practice. This is only because I'm pretty much forced to. I enrolled in a CC (yeah, LMAO COMMUNITY COLLEGE) partly to get some education because my job is a dead end, but also so I can be around people. Yet even when I tell myself I want friends, i go to class then leave immediately when it's over. On top of that, those kids are so fucking young and I feel so old at 26. Please tell me I'm not alone in this feel.

You're not alone, I almost dropped out of high school

I get the feeling like I'm not trying hard enough. I know that's the case but I'm just so worn down. I used to have some fire, but now it feels like there aren't even embers.

What's your discord? We can be friends assuming you're ambitious. I had the same problem and lost years of my life, I'm now recovering and would like more friends who are trying to better their self

>>39605216
So you actually talk to people irl? How is it?

I'll give it a go I suppose. I'm just afraid I'll bore you with my whining.

It's weird. You spend a lot of time on places like this and forget people won't understand your niche references so you feel like an idiot.

>want to have serious discussion
>board suddenly flooded by shit

Ree and so forth.

at 25 i feel like i just got a handle on how to be in the world, though things are far from perfect still. i've managed to exercise much courage, and find many things of interest. and much information that could help me. consider looking up elliot hulse on youtube, he's quite good.
i was pretty much bottom of the barrel, suicide imminent etc. third year of uni now. i think there are good things on the horizon, that aren't fucking boring

I dropped out of college at 19 and struggled to get out of bed for 3 years. I know I missed out but I tell myself I don't care cause I wasn't too keen on keeping up this alive thing. I'm feeling a bit better and I thought I would come out having figured out whether or not I want to live and how to deal with pain. I just have a bit more energy now, reading ss, eating vegetables, brushing my teeth. I'll have no friends soon. There's a part of me that was happy when I had friends but why did I throw them away? I can't have that same teen fun and satisfaction as an adult. I don't know how to be happy. You aren't the only one OP and I wish you the best of luck. I'll have to go to community college too soon enough cause my options are that or dead-end

I started a new job, I'm taking longer than the others to get through the training. Don't talk all day to anyone, painfully awkward. No real friends anymore, old friends are drug losers on crack, a laughing stock. Feel displaced everywhere. Virgin. Felt alone and isolated myself from about 16. Kept good appearances for the early part but faded away. Sit in my room playing vidya all day after work. Try to meet with cool friends, nobody has time for me.
Go through phases of inspiration but always passes into nothing.
I live for my family now and try to be kinder and a better Christian.

I'm not exactly on the same track, but I perfectly understand the feeling of being burnt out on life in general and people in particular.
You have to find what you value, and exploit the shit out of it to find happiness. Thing is, finding what one values is a fucking nightmare filled with dead ends.
Just keep trying anon. We can make it.

Good for you Anon kindness and trying to be a better anything are the paths to self recognition and self respect. I'm doing the same thing
