i dont understand what you are trying to accomplish? do you need money? or do you want to get a shit college age job to meet friends?

>>53441291
You need Jesus.

>>53441316
I don't need money. Maybe it's a midlife crisis. That sounds so melodramatic though. I don't know.

People want relatable friends. Not self described witty edge lords who think they are smarter than everyone.

Even weirdos and autists would be put off by your behavior

>married without needing a job for 20 years
gosh i hate trust fund babies

but anyway, to reinvent yourself you need to reinvent your brain. your neurons start deteriorating at age 25 and by 40 most of them have become sleezy sacks of shit like their owner (you). basically you need to do a lot of creative things: read music sheets, play instrument, think of new rhythms, creative drawing, read books -> write a book, solve gradeschools physic and math exercises,... once your neurons are working again they will give you more ideas and goalposts to strive for base on your surroundings.

also sneak in 1 or 2 cardio exercises every day because they help increase neuron regenerate rates

You know those annoying Jehovah's Witness people that wake you up at 10 in the morning on a Saturday to talk about God? I was raised in that. I'm not in it anymore, but when I finally walked out, I walked away from that religion. I didn't walk away from Jesus.

I don't think I'm smarter than everybody. I don't really click with a lot of people that couldn't last five minutes in here though.

>>53441291
>Every time I think I'm doing something kind of goofy or the fun side of edgy, I either piss people off completely, or it just bombs.
>The weird part is that I'm smarter than a lot of people.
This attitude is probably what throws off most people around you, myself included just by reading your op.
Nobody wants to hear how you think you're smarter than them, dumbasses or otherwise. You don't have to explicitly say these things, your mannerisms and the way you treat others is enough to get this message across. It makes you extremely unpalatable and unrelatable to most people.
Making and keeping friends is not a matter of outfoxing others, as you put it. Try to relate to your peers beyond muh IQ, you might be surprised by them.
And don't spend your days in this vacuum. It fucks you up the longer you do.

Man you don’t need friends as an adult. Friends are for high school and college. I’m also in my 40s and don’t work but I don’t have a wife or kids. Just find some really obscure hobby you can pour yourself into, make sure it’s one that doesn’t really consume any money. I have several of those. But really, I’d say just keep on coasting!!!

>>53441291
You should get a job. Read about different jobs on Reddit and other websites and see what fits your personality. And one that maybe puts you in social settings so you can work on that. Then study how to do it. Normally it’s not advisable to lie on your resume, but at your age you’re kind of fucked if you don’t. I think God will forgive you. This might be a multi year process. But it took you years to get here. I think a job in the right area will give you purpose and socialization. God bless anon, I pulled myself out of neetdom and now have a great job and I’m much happier. It took me over a year. You can do it too

>>53441491
>Making and keeping friends is not a matter of outfoxing others, as you put it. Try to relate to your peers beyond muh IQ,

I'm not great at relating to others easily. I used to think it was because of my upbringing in that religion, which should really be called a cult. It limits your friendships and if you're not naturally socially defective, you probably will be eventually. But I've been away from it long enough now to rule it out as the culprit.

>>53441578
It’s interesting we are the same age and I also grew up in a bizarre religious cult. I do believe that the effects of that ripple out across the rest of your life in unusual ways. Probably why we both ended up which such unusual lives in our 40s. Unfortunately I was never able to get a wife though so you are doing better than me in that category. But I think that the severe mental abuse of growing up in a cult really does limit your options and potential later in life.

>>53441615
It certainly limits your opportunities to make friends when you're supposed to be figuring all that out growing up. Cults never like the idea of anybody having outside friends, as I'm sure you're well aware so I spent a lot of time telling people I couldn't really hang out with them or acting too "busy" for them since I didn't want it to seem like I was just being an asshole. No matter how you do it though, it still usually seems like you're the asshole.

>>53441291
Are you set on not having kids?

>>53441689
My wife can't conceive even if we wanted that and at this age it seems like that ship has mostly sailed.

>>53441291
How did you get your wife to allow you not to work for 20 years?

>>53441291
Your social muscles have atrophied. Only improves through use. Pay more attention to body language. Do they look bored? fidgeting? or engaged, giving you eye contact, and asking thoughtful follow-up questions? If they aren't then adjust the topic or turn it back to them.

Having random arrogance is annoying to strangers. Everyone has something interesting about them to enjoy learning about.

Have kids there are ways

I'm not interested in setting up sperm donor franchise kids and I'm happy in my marriage. A marriage that is honored is really something.

>>53441524
>Just find some really obscure hobby
Late 40's checking in, I recommend social dancing.

>>53441524
i think in general it's becoming more and more common to not have friends, or at the very least friendships that are incredibly shallow/just acquaintances. With the proliferation of remote work and spending more time on social media (twitter/discord especially i've seen grow recently), people are becoming more comfortable being anon online and keeping to themselves IRL. Real life experiences are approaching saturation, people are slowly starting to lose interest in the real world and are living more and more on the internet where anything they can imagine can be created and experienced. Just look at how mesmerized the world is by dall-e and chatgpt.

>>53441843
We gain connections but we also become atomized. Interlocked but still ultimately closed off. Tapping through the walls at eachother to communicate like prisoners.

>>53441886
funnily enough there are anons i've talked to in a discord server every single day for the past 3 years, they dont know my irl name and i dont know theirs, but they know me better than anyone IRL does guaranteed. sometimes i want to share something with them that would doxx myself but i resist doing so, that's where it hurts and you know you need IRL friends for that, but would IRL friends accept you after reading everything youve said in discord? A strange world we live in indeed.

>>53441919
An anon who knows.

>>53441825
thats a feminine hobby

>>53441919
you act like discord/internet/4chan people don't exist irl
they are rare but you find them eventually. I used to be a sadfuck hopeless retard that thought he was all alone until I met and linked up with 3 dudes in the span of a year that were legit cool and that had similar edgy/internet humor. They helped me accept myself and now I feel like a normie who can basically make conversation/friends with anyone. It's helped in my career but just in general the mental health aspect of it all was probably the most satisfying thing

>>53441939
females can't really dance, that's why they need leads. In a busy dancefloor, single women crash with other dancers and miss the rhythm.
>thats a feminine hobby
it's like cooking, females abound, but the best chefs are male.

i just wanted to say i hope you know that you sound like a ginormous faggot OP

LARP but if true you spent your youth not in toil so congratulations to you

>>53442048
Peace be with you anon.

>>53441491
>And don't spend your days in this vacuum
anon how the fuck are you supposed to call someone a faggot or discuss your want of a young fertile gf if not here

>>53441291
Just move to Canada. not reading the rest of that, got about to the part where you said you were 40 and haven't worked in 20 years. I know a guy just like you and I dream about stabbing him in the throat repeatedly American Psycho style. Just because I know God would forgive me, because even though I've committed murder, I would have definitely made the world a better place. Bums like you are just fucking losers, always subsidized by someone else. If not your own family, the tax payers. You have added nothing to this world and only taken. This world will genuinely, truly be a better place without you.

So please move to Canada, and get on some of that medically assisted death.

>>53441820
I can respect that, having a happy marriage is rare so you're doing good.

>>53442158
by shitposting irl
you'd be surprised what you can pull of irl if you're likable and ironic enough

>>53442160
You should rest. You have the weight of the whole irresponsible world resting on your shoulders and that responsible badass routine seems tiring.

>>53442246
OP definitely has not contributed to the world in any meaningful way. For God's sake, there's not even some child to improbably break the cycle of loserdom he likely is a part of. Everyone I know who doesn't work is like this. They're so fucking tired and bitter and sad, and then continue sitting on their ass doing fuck all.

Dude, there are fucking people who actually matter in this world lying right now on a stretcher desperately waiting for organs. Justin Trudeau could harvest this man's organs and actually save the lives of people who have contributed meaningfully to this world.

I'm not even exaggerating, by moving to Canada and allowing himself to experience the luxury of assisted death, he will probably save lives after his organs have been harvest.

QED, the world is a better place without OP. Can one of you even prove me wrong? Of course you can't. So get off your moral high horse and get up here with me, on the real moral high ground.

>>53442279
You should switch up. Sometimes a reuptake inhibitor is not the correct approach and now you're just exacerbating what was a treatable imbalance. Call as soon as you wake up anon. You're time is too valuable to waste.

>>53442326
Not on any meds. Just high on my own sense of self-righteousness. But I did enjoy Atlas Shrugged as well.

>>53442360
Based and Randpilled.

>no kids
Big mistake. I pray to God my wife is fertile when we are ready this year

>>53442521
Then you have nothing to fear.

>>53442535
Are you wealthy cause of inherited wealth or some kind of score like crypto. I work very little cause my wife makes money but I've livedin poverty for my entire life so I can't imagine being a person like you, every moment of free time I have I obsess over how to use it for my hobbies family or friends

>>53442556
We all cast different lots in life but rest assured that nobody escapes.

>>53442574
So I'm guessing you're the type that is obsessively worried about being doxxed so you can't reveal that you're a rich kid, married a rich, or won the lotto. I wouldn't be your friend either

29 yo boomer here..next to 30 this year
Haven't worked in like 12 years
I live by being a landlord..
I'm next to throw all my savings on crypto...either i make it or not, there's no between...
I only have 2 close friends..
And a loyal gf ..

But i feel empty...

Maybe i just need money to fulfill my needs and stop worrying about myself and my family's future

I also hate normies and the current zoomer and pop culture...

>>53442588

>>53441291
sounds mid life crisi-y imo. thats normal. if you can discover there is no inherent meaning in anything you can then create anything out of that nothing.

or you can wait it out and you will accept this feeling and it will pass eventually. good luck

>>53442591
Don't worry about 30 fren. It's more of a thing for women than it is for men.

>>53442591
>landlord
Lucky fuck. I have a loyal wife too but we work our ass off to afford our house rent. People born into wealth do know struggle like us poor. I just spilled water on my macbook and though I've had a computer for last 10 years of my life I am now going without and instead using my phone to use the internet. Buying a replacement just isn't in my budget for the year of 2023.

>>53442677

>>53442588
>so I'm guessing you're the type that is obsessively worried about being doxxed
damn that cut open some wounds lol
I'm glad I woke up and realized my fears were just fabricated
obvs not OP but a post like this was the breather I needed to realize how far I've come
thanks for subscribing to my blog

>>53441291
unironically do some lsd and reflect on what a faggot you are

I’ll take “what is a trust fund baby” for $100 Alex.

>>53441291
The only friends I still have are me old schoolchums. I'm lucky to have them force me outside every now and again, but even that biannual amount of socialising is too exhausting for me. So I can't relate.

>>53441291
Did you kidnap your wife from Vietnam and pimp her out or something?

>>53441717
this person nailed it

social skills can atrophy and yours have
also find things that spark joy in your life and find ways to follow them

>>53442360
stop inhaling your own farts anon its become an issue, clearly you bateman faggot

>>53441291
>The weird part is that I'm smarter than a lot of people.
Obviously not

>>53441291
i am very lonely aswell but i am half your age.

i bet if you talked with me you wouldn't like me i am too boring.

>>53441291
How are you married but not have a job for 20 years? Also you are 40 fucking years old you should be having barbeques and going camping with your kids.

>>53441291
Stopped at not having a job for 20 years. You win sir. But if you really want one just get some fake piss and call a temp service, then to make friends at work just be mostly honest while remembering everyone is kind of fake and just want to be liked. Reinvent yourself as an honest person because you are actually pretty dumb and aren't fooling anyone; but if you work hard, improve yourself a little every day, and genuinely want what's best for everyone and can enjoy seeing other people be happy you'll sleep well and be a happy person.
Or you can just be a vigilante that avenges White children targeted by niggers that would be cool too

>>53441291
Watch American beauty (1999) . Now. You may relate a lot with the main character, some fag called Lester. You'll feel a little better. You are in your mid forties btw, you are the one who should give us advice on what not to do in our thirties. Good luck, anon. I've never had a job since i was 22, never had a girlfriend. It just never happened. I had a female friend who loved me a bit and i loved her as well a few years ago but she married to some european cuck for citizenship and that's it.
