Don't worry. You get used to it and develop some tolerance toward things not turning out as intended. Doesn't mean you shouldn't care. When you see the need or opportunity to improve your life, do it. Risk more, but limit the consequences when things go wrong.

>>25024844
Women are heartless because having a heart is of no value in finding a man.

It's simple reproductive drive. And women think with their ovaries at least as much as men think with their dicks.

It sucks but women are attracted to power - i.e., men who don't need them. If you need a woman to have a heart you're already too weak to be attractive to them.

I'm not trying to be cruel, just trying to save you more years of your life learning this lesson.

Be a man and treat a woman like an object - a treasured object, yes, but an object - first, and as a romantic interest second, and she will be much more likely to be, and stay, interested.

I will soon be 28 too, and seeing that many people are getting with someone sometimes makes me feel weird. Mostly it's because I know that I wouldn't want to just settle with someone I have close, but the other day I did think about it and how it's going to be difficult to be with those I consider my love interest, if ever.

>>25025101
Have you considered traveling around and checking possibilities through that? Also for yourself, not just for seeking new friends and partners.

>>25025268
Some say that between the 40s and 50s you accept who you are and that there are unsolvable problems for the better, so if you're already on that part of your life, then maybe they're going to be even greater. My advice would be (advice from a whippersnapper) preventing possible bad things from happening, related to health or financial or stability problems, and planning ahead for the future.

It's true that I'm already more comfortable in my own skin and confident about my life's direction than I've ever been. I do lament health crises and injuries that aren't preventable (it happens). I miss having consistent friends who can carry on a conversation. I wish I could find a friend who is just as much of a pervert as I am, and yet can separate that fun from more esoteric conversations about life and love. It's odd. My life is full of romantic and spousal love. And I have great friends. But I'm still a bit lonely within my age group. Most of my friends either just turned 30 or 50 and are dealing with milestones and changes that occur at those ages. I'm the lone 40.

>>25027363
It's not like being old is a bad thing. Isn't it a privilege? We tend to feel the impact of loss more than the gains... I'm trying to put them on a level playing field. I wouldn't trade the friends I've made and experiences I've had over the past 20 years for youth... yes, I had more energy and a more carefree attitude back then, but my life back then was very ... small and shallow. I was just getting started.

To some degree, I feel like I'm still rebooting and getting started when I delve into a new hobby or meet someone new. It gives me that youthful feeling but without the atrocious eating habits and insecurities of yore.

>To some degree, I feel like I'm still rebooting and getting started when I delve into a new hobby or meet someone new. It gives me that youthful feeling but without the atrocious eating habits and insecurities of yore.

while I still fall into the latter, the former does still happen to me, which is genuinely nice. I worry still that the latter might become predominant while the former could simply fade too much into oblivion, leaving space to worse feelings.

>>25025316
The one good thing of this board is that there is always someone decent among the hundreds of shitty people. Otherwise I feel you, I would stop using it altogether if that good thing wasn't there. What brought you to England and France? Planning on visiting Europe again? I'd love to visit all kind of countries, and while I always say "When I have enough money and more time", I hope I can actually manage to get to do it instead of losing the chance.

I need to learn these, yes. I promised myself that I would do it this year, but I don't really know if I will manage to. And without a job at the moment and unsure of what road to take and the missing opportunities of specializing in something, life seems really difficult. I don't even know if I want to settle here in the end. A big part of these thoughts is played by people far away that I would love to be with.

I've been there. Shit, I'm still there in some aspects. If you're logic oriented like me, I would recommend - break it down into smaller problems and work each aspect incrementally.
It's easy to feel overwhelmed if you try to do everything at once, and it's easy to get discouraged if you expect one big event to fix everything.
Slowly but surely wins the race.

when someone asks my age i always go to say 19 so i assume i stopped mentally ageing at that point.

>I've been feeling like I am less agile since a couple of years
I hear ya. I didn't really notice it until 35, though. Guess all the coffee and stress kept me on a constant high. But I noticed that my recovery after cardio got longer, and if I skipped stretching, that there would be hell to pay later down the road. I stopped all that insomnia machismo (despite being a fem)... sleep and recovery is good.

>>25030964
>My autistic brain figured out what "Be yourself" means
Heh. I actually realized that "be yourself" requires a more open mind. That I had held in my head a picture of who I was, when in fact, it is always changing. I became a less angry, less jealous person - glad I aged out of the brat that I was.

>>25032015

And no, I'm not cynical, it's just how the female brain works.

You need to understand how they think and feel before you can enter a trusting and committed relationship which will actually work in the long run

35 here. It isn't about how long I have survived physically, it's how I mentally feel. Mentally, I feel about 23. Ha!
So are we meeting up and getting a bj for this?
>>
>>25031985
That's an interesting way of putting it, it makes me very curious to know more about you, especially since I feel like I haven't grown up in some aspects while I've always been mature in some others. Do you feel like it would be necessary to adjust this a bit, or that feeling still young and somewhat immature might aid you more in dealing with yourself and your dreams aside from socializing with others?

>>25032235
the stretching is what I need to get more into. I just can't seem to find something that actually makes me feel a difference. Even went so far as to try Yoga, but I just feel even more stiff afterward, and not in the immediate. I have been looking for natural/instinctive stretching, and might end up following some of what I found here: https://breakingmuscle.com/video/primal-move-workout-1-the-warm-up

I don't think there is anything bad with you dressing like in your 20s personally, but sometimes there is like a call to actually check the look you yourself give to others from the brain, and I feel like going checking for new clothes when it happens.


One thing that I still need to learn is to dedicate time to other things when my plans don't go through, instead of just staying there moping or trying to change them persevering over nothing. Somehow in spite of all the breaking my heart got and my increased apathy, I still feel the need to put effort into socializing to seek friendship and possibly something trustworthy and mutual, in spite of knowing that for how I am and how things have been so far it will not be happy.

>One thing that I still need to learn is to dedicate time to other things when my plans don't go through, instead of just staying there moping or trying to change them persevering over nothing. Somehow in spite of all the breaking my heart got and my increased apathy, I still feel the need to put effort into socializing to seek friendship and possibly something trustworthy and mutual, in spite of knowing that for how I am and how things have been so far it will not be happy.
The fact that you have that kind of self-awareness is impressive, anon. Something something life being pain, but suffering is optional. Not perseverating over disappointing circumstances is key to that. Good for you!

26 is not old, 50 is not old unless you want it to be. I became really bored with life so decided to return to Uni (about to finish) and it's the best thing I ever did.
It's ok to feel more mature than your peers, but to feel old is fucked up. Grab a beer and chill out

Not perseverating over disappointing circumstances. That's the interesting part, because whenever I did persevere, I had good results, but the disappointments kept flowing afterward anyway, though I was grateful for the experiences given then before the big disappointments and suffering in life.

It's kind of weird and difficult for me to properly detach and refrain from persevering into things that hurt me, if anything because 1) few times that I did it went good and I often think "Maybe it will happen again" in spite of it being rare, and 2) "I'm the one that feels the suffering and possibly exaggerate the pain, I should control myself and become more distant from it".

I feel the way I put it kind of makes it sound like I'm easily triggered or can't control my emotions, which is the opposite in reality. I mostly put caring into the wrong things because of my hopes I guess.

I'm spending the day preparing for weekend festivities. Quite excited honestly. This week was eventful, too eventful for my tastes .. but that's life in general more than not isn't it? I lost my father on Tuesday, pretty indifferent as to how I feel about it seeing as I haven't had any contact with him since I was 13 years old. It's astounding to me how much time has actually passed when I take the time to look back on it at all.

I'm 32 years old now, have a home bought & paid for, on a stable career path, my son is well taken care of and looked after .. I've got no real complaints to speak of, other than loneliness.

Ha. I'm rambling. How are you doing today OP? Any plans for the weekend?

Man I feel miserable just reading this thread. I've been afraid of aging since I was 14 years old. I noticed that older women are worth less than older men and it hurt to notice. I'm only 18 now but I've thought about killing myself when I'm too old.
>>
>>25043823
I understand your concerns well.

But maybe the thing that happens when you get older isn't that life is so miserable. Maybe all that happens is you stop worrying about it.

Don't use the limited view you have from being 18 to make permanent choices about something you can't know about until you get there.

Of course, the real key to the Allies' success in the European theater was cracking the code the Axis powers used to post their dick rate pics.

I would be for a 30+ discord. The 5 year difference between 25 and 30 can be significant in terms of gaining perspective on career, relationships, personal health, etc.
I guess it doesn't have to exclude those that are younger who want to lurk or whatever, but career concerns and talks about going back to school or grad school are not things that I'm remotely interested in chatting about during off hours.
Maybe it's just me being a curmudgeon, having spent a lot of time career counseling people in their 20s. In which case, sorry for bitching, and carry on. :P

>>25051296
I am not sure about that. I mean, I'm not away from university, but not at a better point than I was there. In fact the impasses and stagnating point are very similar aside from the different setting, environment and people I'm dealing with, coupled with some more problems. It is quite weird to have to face these kind of hardships constantly without any real result, no matter how much I hear that I'm really moving forward.

At least the maturity with some things in there, but I feel like I became dull, apathetic and incapable of properly talking to others. And I wonder if I will be able to 'revert' this kind of apathy and effort I have to take to write when I could have written dozens of letters for just a single person. It's sometimes unsettling to think that because I couldn't find decent people with whom to continue talking in a stable way and most of those that I met just contributed to this apathy, dullness and disappointment in human beings, leading to possibly fall into an abyss.

28 here, and I hate when people around my age bitch about "feeling old". I just don't get it, how can you feel old when your body has barely started aging yet? You still have a good 30+ years of life ahead of you if you take care of your body, and yet you act as if you've got one foot in the grave.

Maturity is a good thing. Life experience is a good thing. I wouldn't go back to my early 20s if I could; I was a dumbass making all sorts of terrible decisions back then. I enjoy the financial, emotional and sexual stability I've acquired in my """"old age""""
>>
>>25059340
I think it's a matter of feeling old inside or having had suddenly big changes in one's life. Or maybe the beginning of coming with the acceptance and realization that one is growing up.

Many also lack the financial, emotional and sexual stability still. Even way beyond 28 years of age. I'm glad that you have it anon. How did you met those stabilities if you don't mind me asking?

>How did you get to be an admin of that porn site?
I was an active member of nowthatsfuckeup.com I did a search recently and found the historical information on the web to be pretty accurate.
The owner was busted by Sheriff Grady Judd and the future of the site looked bleak but it stayed open while the owner was out on bail.
Member discussions took place and it was decided that we'd prepare another site in the event NTFU had to close.
It eventually was closed and the IP address and name were taken by the county.
There had been two factions in the decision about where to go if the site went down so members split and formed two different new sites.
One was oriented more toward a social theme with little interest in rapid expansion outside their clique.
The one I went with was more open and aggressive about becoming bigger and better. We wanted to be the king of user submitte wife and girlfriend porn.
As the site grew more moderation was needed to keep the questionable material away - we figured we were being watched because of where we came from.
Having been active for so long, I was asked to be a moderator. I quickly stepped through moderation levels and was offered the Admin position as a shared position with the then current Admin. His wife began complaining about 'too much time at work and not enough time at home'
(translation: you're watching too much porn)
That left me as the only admin. I spent over six years in total (member, mod, supermod, admin) on the site and it changed ownership about half way through those years. The new owner was pretty laid-back for a while but after a year or so he started making changes that affected the operation of the site and I got tired of having to explain to members what was happening and why something was changed that was working so well before. I was never consulted before the changes were made - he was the owner after all. I got tired of it and just quit logging in.

>And how do you like the other board like /diy/ and /pol/?

I'm 73, almost 74 so I've had plenty of time to learn how things work. I've had several long-term jobs over the years from manufacturing to service to my current job as rental property maintenance.
I go to /diy/ to offer assistance to those having problems with things I know about. It's a nice feeling when someone asks for help and gets it right away and their problem is solved.
On the other hand, it's really disheartening when someone needs assistance and people with no idea of what they're talking about tell OP exactly how to solve it and it's exactly wrong.

/pol/ is a lot of fun to keep up with current events. I go through it with a bullshit rake because there's as much or more wrong info there as there is in /diy/ just about different things.

I browse /soc/ mainly for the porn. Although I have found a few interesting people on here in some of the longer running threads.

I used to enjoy /adv/, but the misogyny and racism which is pervasive on chan really started becoming a net negative relative to my enjoyment of sharing and chatting with others.

That was an interesting story, thank you. I wonder how much one is paid for running a website like that. Do you think you could tell me how much you made in revenue from ads or other services? Just curious since it makes me wonder if there would be dozens of thousands of users every day.

>>25064364
that's wonderful, I'm glad you can offer your valuable experience and opinion to those that need it. I downloaded several Black & Decker books, along other DIY ones, because I figured sooner or later they might come in handy. I don't have much experience with DIY and tools in general, so I feel kind of less than a novice when dealing with it, and it's something I want to amend because one day I will have one family and I want to be reliable for them. Is there a series of books or videos you also follow or appreciate that you would mind suggesting us to watch? And thank you for being so detailed in your replies. When do you become 74?

>>25065025
I stopped browsing /adv/ for various reasons, though it was my home for more than 4 years at least. /soc/ is nice to see different people from all over the world, and yes, also for sexual purposes, albeit I really don't enjoy them as much. In fact I'm driving more and more toward the asexual road: I care more about knowing others than to try and fap with them since I can remember, and the change it went through brought less and less talk and more camwhoring. I wish there were more threads like this one and more trust in sharing things anonimously, but sadly dickheads that ruin the day for everyone are always there.

>>25065059
low risk socializing on 4chan? Interesting. Would you mind telling me a bit more of yourself, hobbies and interests and how you're doing in life?

Auto seems pretty interesting. As for Weapons, I was there briefly a few times, but people seem a mixture of assholes and very kind, if direct, helpers. Mostly I feel too new to it. I have never noticed a /news/ one! DAMN.

I'm lucky to have a desk job that is fairly easy, and it's at a company with no IT admin (I guess I'm the IT admin) so I can go on any site I want.

>>25065954
Lately I have been feeling a bit melancholic thinking that if I don't up my game here I will end up doing a technical job rather than a desktop one, which would limit shitposting and the likes (as in talking with friends and other people). But then again I think it's more healthy to do something outside or not seated up all day, and hopefully it will be decently paid as well.

>how much one is paid for running a website like that.
Just like 4chan mods, we did it for free.

> how much you made in revenue from ads
Only the owner made anything off the site.

>Is there a series of books or videos you also follow

When I was learning there was no internet so, no videos.
I either assisted someone to learn or just asked a professional for detailed instructions on doing something I'd never done before.
Sometimes I'd just look at how something was done by a pro and figure out how to make mine come out like that.
It's something in my nature I suppose. Even as a child - five year old child, I was taking things apart to find out what made them tick. Eventually, probably by the time I was a teen, I was able to put most of them back together again and start building things from scratch. Things like making rocket fuel for the aluminum tube rockets we fired. I loved electrical/electronic stuff and built all kinds of electrical toys (crystal radios, intercoms, etc.) When I was fifteen my church asked me to build and install a PA system for them. I bought a PA amplifier kit from Allied Electronics which I put together and also used Allied for the microphones and speakers and assorted cable and wire and grilles needed. Allied Electronics was in Chicago and I lived in central Arkansas so I ordered via snailmail and a money order. The shipment came to my town via REA (Railway Express Agency) so someone had to take me to the Rock Island depot to get the packages. While there, I noticed the telegraph clicking away and started asking the station master about it. He was happy to find a young man interested in it and we became friendly over it and he explained it's operation and sent a couple of messages while I was there. I was amazed that the could carry on a conversation with me about my interest in electronics while decoding telegraph messages in his head.

Oh well. enough of that boring shit.

Thank you very much for all the info, sounds like a wonderful life and a beautiful mind. It actually makes me want to dedicate myself more to small projects, but the tools and materials are sadly not there, and I am in a pinch with money at the moment. (and when i say that it's not "I need some other stuff to buy and they get priorities": I'm literally not buying anything besides some bread, breakfast cereals and paying my rent)
On a religious note, since you mentioned Church, for everyone here: are you religious?
>>
>>25066892
>since you mentioned Church,

I said 'my church' but at the time it was actually just a church near my home. The part about asking me to build the PA system was just a trap. The pastor was using my interest in electronics to get me interested int the church.

He also knew I was 'somewhat' artistically inclined so he had already conned me into an illustrated banner of biblical themes for Vacation Bible School.

The cons worked to a degree. I went to his church for a while. I finally decided religion itself is not a scam but all the churches I've been exposed to are. I decided to live my life as a good person and take my chances for the afterlife.

While I do agree with the sentiment, Marcus Aurelius never said that. The quote seems to have originated online, and Marcus Aurelius' actual writings on the subject assert that the gods do exist.

Likewise, the similar quote supposedly of Epicurus that has also been made into a similar wallpaper is misattributed.

>>25067636
>Marcus Aurelius never said that
doesn't matter - it fits my narrative
I've always thought a god who demands love, worship and obedience or I'll burn you forever in a lake of fire didn't really have my best interest in mind.

Thank you for mentioning it, it's actually interesting that it's attributed to him. It appears from this link that he discussed in a different way http://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/6999/did-marcus-aurelius-say-live-a-good-life

Since I'm a sucker for stories of Gods not being exactly what they seem, like in Berserk, Grandia, Breath of Fire II and certainly some other media different from games that I don't remember at the moment, I find the whole debate quite intriguing. Apparently to the classic question "If evil falls upon the innocent, how can the gods be just?", he considers four possible answers:

1.They are not just;
2.They are unaware of the evils that befall upon the innocent;
3.They are aware but powerless to intervene;
4.The gods don't exist.

The concept of them being aware but powerless to intervene is quite interesting, because it makes me wonder what exactly makes them Gods and divine beings. Certainly superior to us, but not necessarily devoted to us in the first place.

Speaking of awareness, how are you doing anon F6EuVomE? Do you have this information from personal study or school study? Are you interested in Classic authors like Seneca and Socrates too?

30/M here.

A moderate but manageable anxiety problem turned into a crippling disorder as I aged, helped along by the one-two punch of a 5 year relationship with a manipulative and abusive ex and a nightmare job where I did 60-80 hours a week trying to keep a business together despite the best efforts of its bipolar owner.

I'm now a NEET living with my parents again. My career is destroyed, my friends are all gone, and relationships and sex are such a laughable concept that I can't even masturbate anymore. My old hobbies have turned into piles of expensive equipment that collect dust, and I spend most of my days staring off into space.

I'm honestly not sure why I'm not suicidal.

You accidentally replied to me twice instead of whoever you intended to talk to that visits weapons.

I haven't read through all your responses but you're 27 and probably a guy? What I meant about low risk socializing is it's fairly easy to talk to people and then cut it off if they turn out to suck on 4chan, even if they have your kik or something.

I'm kind of a lone wolf type. I don't need much social contact. But from time to time I do like to chat and 4chan is still my habit to find that. I like fanfic, general sci-fI/fantasy stuff. Things with giant robots and zombies tend to pull me in. I work an office job

30/m/812 here

Life hasn't gotten any easier or less confusing. In a job with good security and decent paying, but not really all that interesting and not really much chance for advancement. I'm fully capable of doing it forever, but its just not really interesting to me. Feels like its too late to go back and study new things though. Plus the Universities near me don't offer courses in things I'd be interested in. In theory would like to keep working and go to classes in the evening, but feels like its not really an option.

Got dumped fairly recently too. I'm still her "Best Friend", I guess. She got engaged to an old boyfriend a month or two ago though, which has been really rough on me. Just sort of lost and confused in general. Dunno where you even go to meet new people nowadays. Don't really want to go out to bars, and online dating has been a crapshoot. All of my friends have moved away and are already married and having kids. I'm still just a slapass goofing off on the internet. Feels like I never grew up while everyone around me did. Feels like its too late to fix it. Sucks. Life was supposed to make sense by now.
>>
>>25068369
>Feels like I never grew up while everyone around me did.

It's weird, I halfway feel like this but not totally. Half of the people I know grew up and got real lives, but the other half are still living like they're 18, and I feel like I'm somewhere in the middle - mentally more like the "grownups" but with a realistic situation more like the "kids."

A lot of why I don't really have friends anymore is because I feel equally distant from both groups. I find the "kids" particularly hard to handle, because watching them give zero shits about anything and yet somehow keep happily coasting along through life pisses me the fuck off.
>>
>>25068208
Whoops. And thank you for the replies, sounds like a healthy variety of interests. Last thing I really loved that had 'zombies' in it was I Am a Hero, which actually satisfied one of my criteria for enjoying these kind of tragic stories (But I would end up spoilering it if I said more)

>>25068369
>>25068429
I would say to simply invest your money or time into another activity and try to immerse yourself in it, and rinse and repeat with another one if you can't find anything you like. Maybe learning something new that might also aid in your job or your free time can give you new stimuli for both socializing and enjoying things.
