Fuck, I'm barely 22 but seeing high schoolers makes me feel like I'm some 90 year old dude who wasted his life for some reason.

Good, use that feeling to motivate you to take the steps necessary to change your life into what you want it to be now
t. Older
i have no clue where to start or what the right steps are
You probably know what the steps are more than you realize. What's currently troubling you as to why you feel incapable?
"get fit" is the only one that breaks down into realistic short term goals, but "get friends" "develop career" "stop wanting to walk into traffic" are all huge mysteries, and motivation is hard to maintain seeing as there are gigantic fatties around with big bucks and friends and sex
>get fit
So why not start with that?
>stop wanting to walk into traffic
kek, i know i should take this more seriously but this just made me laugh out loud
>why not start with getting fit
weird story actually, last time i tried this i got fired over it. i was keeping myself motivated by making and constantly fiddling with a huge spreadsheet of calorie counts and TDEEs and projected losses/gains and workout plans and so on, i got really into it and so much so i missed a ton of deadlines and got shitcanned. kind of killed my motivation
lol, i mean you can always do it in a less insane way. you don't have to be a lunatic iron man
also, not to be too boomer, meet your fucking deadlines and do what's expected of you at your job. if they're placing unrealistic expectations on you obviously fuck them but if it's just simple shit and another team of people are relying on you don't be a homosexual and leave them hanging, get done what you need to get done
when you don't do your shit now your team / boss has to add on what you were supposed to do to what they're expected to do, it's a dick move to just throw that on them
i was a good little drone going above and beyond for years, surely i deserved a few months slack in order to literally not be obese and die young
maybe we're in different situations then but i've always found when you're honest and straightforward and self-confidently assertive with people (in professional as well as general life) they get it and are willing to accommodate, or at least tell me they can't accommodate that and at least i feel like "oh, i see why they can't do that". i hope this won't sound condescending or belittling but just be a fucking man with people
I've gotten multiple significant salary raises at jobs employing this mindset too. I just said
>yo, i need this much more or I'm walking
And every time they've been like "ok, we can do that"
How old are you and how do I get this mindset permanently ? Im 20 and I have had experiences but fuck I always end up back to being a shy cunt.
that's funny, i've always found in those settings that if you let go of yourself for a second and deviate one iota from telling people exactly what they want to hear and behaving exactly as they expect (you usually have to guess what that is because nobody goes to the trouble of spelling it out) and being as little of a nuisance as possible, everybody will suddenly lose their shit at you. maybe we're from different planets
grow up origininival
Dont care, im going to be 40+ and still be doing childish stuff.
>20
>work with 18 year olds
>cant relate to any of them and have no shared high school experiences
>"wow anon you didnt go to prom?"
>"wow anon you never ditched a class to hang out with your friends"
from what i hear from these little shits high school was supposed to be one of the best times of my life and i just breezed through all 4 years alone
High school was miserable and I was sexually frustrated
College was miserable and I was more sexually frustrated
Tfw no gf ruined what should have been the best years of my life that I will never get back.
i would say my high school years were miserable but someone started a rumor what i was some shooter kid so i was never bullied or anything like that so they were really just lonely as people tended to avoid me
as for college i went to a trade school instead before figuring out i disliked the trade i went to school for
now im in thousand on dollars in dept and probably wont be able to go to college until im 25 or 26 if i can keep up with paying the student loan
but ive hated women for the longest time so the tfw no gf never really applied to me but im sorry it applied to you anon
>ive hated women for the longest time
Please don't sucked into this warphole, do you know what kind of fucking homosexuals are eager to feed on this vulnerability. Women are annoying but they're still like people dude
eh i guess but i still avoid them
theres no incentive for me to desire them either im fine with dating a guy im just weary of women for i have noticed their tricks before
i will never get over how i skipped my graduation hell my family is still mad at me for that
>i will never get over how i skipped my graduation hell my family is still mad at me for that
I mean... Sadly, whats done is done, only person who has the right to be mad is the one who made the call. I went to mine but it wasnt out of world. I mean, people did their own thing and that was pretty much it. I just pretended to be detached as always, in order to preserve my dignity.
A sort of "live by sword and die by the sword" situation. It would have been pathetic of me to show regret during that day after all those wasted years, dont you think?
>and chances are very, very small that you're smart and talented enough at anything to make up for your social repulsiveness
ANd the fact is, that you are 100% right on that one. And it hurts a lot.
What good does it make to put in the effort... IN FUCKING SCHOOL... when
>its worthless
>doesnt equal to real intelligence
>end up sucking balls at college
Worse thing is, like you said, it doesnt make up for anything. So I m both a loser, someone who wasted his youth and got nothing to feel pride over.
Literal biowaste
Not to mention the fact I get a fetish for HSlers and I got to carry on that weight until the day I kms or die eventually.
Somewhere over the rainbow. But yeah, teens who go to school wear uniforms
Literally this. I only realized it the last year of HS how none of this mattered.
I wasted it all working myself up,studying, and avoiding everyone. And for nothing. I will never get over it.
at least you were academic focused. i basically ditched all kinds of school related shit to stay at home and play vidya. i'm pretty sure my attendance record was like 60% or something. i wish i'd participated in like math olympics or something like that, or at least hung out with people
AND WHO THE FUCK GIVES A SHIT ITS LITERALLY USELESS
SCHOOL IS WORTHLESS AND HAS LITTLE TO NO PURPOSE
I WASTED IT ALL WHEN I COULD HAVE AT LEAST BEEN PLAYING GAMES ALL DAY, MAYBE, JUST MAYBE MAKE SOME MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS WITH OTHERS, IDK
WHAT GOOD DID IT MAKE
"making connections" is just the automatic result of having a normal human brain, instead of whatever disorder gives off those uncanny valley fumes that make the healthy want to unconsciously murder you. even if you had eased up on school or whatever nobody would have liked or accepted you. and chances are very, very small that you're smart and talented enough at anything to make up for your social repulsiveness
I would do anything to be 40+ right now even if it means losing my youth.
I just want to be closer to the end man I want the suffering to stop.
I'm 27 and when I see 22 year olds I see tween preschool babies who drink juice boxes and eat tendie nuggies while they scroll tik tack
I am those 22 year olds but I'm 36
I m the same age, and seeing High schoolers wearing their uniforms makes me want to jump off a bridge because of how hot they look and knowing I didnt, dont and will never have a chance to go out with any of them.
Never EVER I m gonna recover from this.
And if I ever kill myself, I m gonna write this on my note as one of the main reasons why I killed myself
>uniforms
Are you in the UK?
I was talking to a younger 18 year old zoomer at work last year and he basically told me nobody even talks in classrooms everyone is just quiet scrolling on TikTok.
Wow how terrible that would be if that were the case right. But it isn't kids are rowdy as fucking ever unless it's an AP class
t. recently graduated
>be homeschooled because it's a better use of my time and I can complete coursework more quickly
>parents begin assigning amounts that I can't keep up with
>banned from computer and going outside every summer through 9-12 because always behind in math
>start sleeping 16 hours a day and legit want to kill myself
>forced to read a patent law book my final summer before college
>"Hey son, how about you give yourself a three day weekend before college, you've earned it 😉 "
Not going to lie, I've had homicidal ideation of my father for most of my life. Thankfully I live alone now.
you're an LULZ poster of course you wasted your life
