I grew up really poor, spent time in foster care for a few years, had problems with drugs and alcohol, dropped out of high school, had a stint of crime, but I pulled my life together one step at a time and now I’m in a position where I’m better off than most of my peers.
I genuinely believe that if a person just doesn’t give up and keeps pushing onwards no matter how many times they get punched in the face that person will be successful. I also believe our limits in life are imposed on us by ourselves.
I see a lot of people, especially what I assume are younger people, on this board giving up on life and I really want to encourage them to change their attitude and just keep pushing through the adversity because I promise it gets better if you do.

All women are immature. At least girls in their 20's have plasticity to that and you can have a positive impact on their self and perception. Nearly all relationships with women, your role is half (or more) father. Treat it as such, and treat your woman with equal parts temperance and criticism and you'll be fine.
Family isn't over as a concept for a man until late 50's, and even then if you take care of your body you can extend that. Two of the best dads I know had their latest batch of kids around 58 (bodybuilder and correctional officer). They sling kids over their shoulder all day long.

Surprised I made it to 22 desu. I have such a lack of drive and ambition. I somehow got lucky off crypto a year ago and managed to get enough money to hit the lower 6 figures. Still battle with suicidal thoughts and shit pretty frequently. Been treated like shit by a lot of people because I just...don't understand people. Genuinely. I don't know if it's like that for anyone else, but yeah. Trying to be better. I associate with people who like me for who I am nowadays. I don't seek validation anymore. In school for a useless major and am probably going to drop out of college. I'm in my final year, but I've decided that I have to live my life for me. Job market is fucked and I haven't been able to get a single job. Makes sense though, since I only have like 1.5 years of retail experience. Maybe I'll work up the drive to learn a programming language. I'm just very lost, bros. Very, very lost. It's been hard up to this point.

Got into drugs this year. Nothing too too crazy, but crazy enough. Finally been cold turkey for a month. Trying to get a sense of normalcy back in my life. I was hitting the gym hard, but I haven't really been going the past 3 months. I'd like to get back into that. I'm trying to just live. Just get through my day-to-day. This world is crazy, but I'm trying to just get along. I just don't know what I'm doing. I was gonna join the military at one point and that never happened. It seems like I back out of everything I do. I just need to be fulfilled. I bought a brand new car with my earnings, but it stressed me out so much that I sold it. I currently rent a studio apartment for $1600 in the city. Don't really enjoy it if I'm being honest. Living alone sucks. I made good friends at my college, but I hate my college. I hate school, really. I'm just trying to be happy. That's all I need.

I am not arguing with that. But the idea that life gets easier with age is generally bullshit unless you are on top in your 20s.

No one is winning world class athletic events in their 40s. No one is starting a modelling or acting career. Most authors and scientists have produced their life's work before 40. I am not saying give up and die, I am saying opportunities diminish.

The people who sell "Life gets better at 40" are selling "Get rich and fuck gold-digger whores", and need to make that clear.

I live in Australia and I just don't go in the sun at midday. Neither do any of the other animals. It's pretty sensible behavior.
Covering myself in petrol and refined waste oils seems like the opposite of what I'd want to be doing. I have some lanolin + zinc paste that I'll use on sensitive spots if I have to stay out in the midday sun but I use it maybe once every 3 months.
Sun damage/aging shit is so blatantly misinformation that it's often directly and unabashedly sponsored by the sunscreen companies. They think it's a good thing to be associated with spreading this info. Where's the impartiality?

Yeah I really didn't think I'd make it this far or plan this far ahead. No one really warned me either. Just lived a life of pure hedonism and sloth in my teens-twenties. I'm paying for it now, no it wasn't worth the bargain, but there's always a path to freedom we can take. Still going, maybe I like the pain.

Simply put these are the people shouting from the visitor stands in the colliseum while you shape your life with tons of hardship, humiliation, failure and then eventually success.

At one point in life I realized some of my friends are like that and simply cut them off. Doers get stuff done, even if not always right. Watchers are the cucks of life and they pay dearly for it.

[Anonymous No.52861786]

I got fired from a good job in July with no notice nor explanation and didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to my coworkers who I thought genuinely liked me. I was led to believe that I was a very good fit. The company isn't cutting costs or anything and is bigger than ever so I know the reason I got fired is personal. The situation with the field I'm in is that it takes a long time to get a new job and the people firing me know this.

I have a safety net so I'm not too concerned about making ends meet, but this event has set me back by years at minimum and I am extremely angry. I am fucking fuming every day, I can't fall asleep at night because of the rage and when I wake up my mood is instantly ruined when I remember how blatantly and nonchalantly I was disrespected and given the biggest possible "fuck you" from people who I never wronged. They told me multiple times how lucky they are to have me previously which only makes me angrier now. Why lie to me? I'm not asking for financial advice here, I'm asking how I should get over this rage. I wake up every day and all I do is seethe in rage during my waking hours and no matter how many hobbies I try to engross myself in, it still doesn't help. What the fuck do I do?

Anon, a job is just a job, and only ever that.
If they let you go, it just means you didn’t mean as much to them as they said.
Getting laid off generally makes it easier to find a new job, you get severance, people will be sympathetic in interviews and such. I got laid off two weeks ago and I already have a few job offers on the table.
I think you’ve learned a harsh lesson: coworkers aren’t friends.

>>52861855
The interviews I've done so far always ask me why I'm no longer working with that company and its pretty clear they think I was fired for being incompetent which hurts my prospects a lot. It feels bad because I got close to a lot of people there in a relatively short time and I know they weren't faking it because they went out of their way to help me out multiple times, so now I'm just left feeling confused and angry.

>How do I get over it
Get a new job. If there was ever something you wanted to try, like for a career, maybe go for it now because it's like what do you have to lose. Maybe you'll love it even if the pay isn't as good, but you can always earn more as you get better. If you hate it then at least you won't have to wonder 'what if?' anymore. If there is nothing like that which applies to you then just find another job. It may take some time based on your other posts but I think you'll be alright in the end.

These. I was depressed and suicidal in my 20s (I even went on with it once and thankfully failed). Literally had nothing to live for and no hope for the future and then I turned 29 and things just magically started getting better out of nowhere for no reason at all. Anyway, I compounded that with actually doing things with myself and now at 35 I have no idea what the fuck my entire 20s were about and who I was, not that it matters now. Your 20s are like a giant shit test life throws at you and then rewards you greatly after 30 if you pass.

By the time you're 30, you'll be thinking of young adulthood in 3 chapters: up to 25, 25 to 30, and 30 to 35. It sucks if things haven't gone the way you wanted them to by the time you're 25, but you're still so early that you can change your trajectory. The thing is, you have to change your trajectory radically. You have to be drastic, and make drastic changes. This should really go without saying. Think about it as if you're a gun aiming at a target. If the target is way off from where you're aiming, you have to pivot your aim hard or you'll miss. And if you miss, you miss, but you don't want to miss because you never adjusted your aim.

I literally just started to come out the darkness, fog, stuckness and misery one day like a week or two after by 29th birthday. I legit remember looking outside my window and saying "Man, I didn't know it looked so nice out? Wait what the fuck? Why does the sun seem brighter, more vivid and feel warmer?". Basically I had hit rock bottom and there wasn't any lower to go except death which I had escaped and then something clicked. So one bright and sunny day turned into another one, then another, then suddenly I didn't hate people and started to appreciate them and then next thing I knew I actually wanted to interact with them and go do things out in the world. Basically one positive started compound into another bigger positive and then I doubled down on the opportunities that arose. Fast forward to today I can't even relate to who I was. I have a business, I travel, I have friends, etc. Literally just everything about life started getting better to the point where I would not have been able to believe that this high level of life satisfaction was possible. Moral of the story is don't kill yourself and keep trying and parlaying one small win into another because eventually things will snowball and domino is better things.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

I think I had just become so fucking fed up with everything that I decided enough was enough. Was sick and tired of being sick and tired so to speak. I remember going on a rampage like a month earlier where I smashed a shit load of things, punched a hole through the wall, broke the fuck down and cursed God and was thinking of probably trying to kill myself again and making sure I went through it that time and then I drank myself to sleep. Was the lowest I had ever felt, even lower than having survived the suicide attempt I made previously. Don't know what happened but that is what I can trace back to being the turning point of everything. Your life can begin to change for the better the moment you decide that enough is enough and that you're for real this time. I don't think I can pity doomers or blackpillers anymore because they're simply addicted to the pain and misery and wallow in it and deep down inside they want pity. Anyway, that was that. Burn your boats and never look back. It does get better but only if you try. Life rewards you greatly if you do.

this anon has nailed it. Up to 25 it barely matters what you did, yes ideally you come from a family or environment that set you up with a great education, understanding of the job market, connections, health, etc. but 95% don't actually have that so they just take it step by step and make some good and some bad decisions along the way but you if you aren't happy with your position at 25 you need to make some drastic changes pronto. Luckily your brain sort of settles anyway around this age, so you've lost the teenage angst and you're more mentally stable.

At 30 nobody on the planet considers you "young", at best you are considered young relative to your position (look at SBF) even though you are. You're not old, but you are an adult and as such life isn't go easy on you so you have to step it up. 25-30 is preparing you for this position.

After that you've made you're bed and you have to lie in it. The good news is that nobody gives a fuck what you are doing really so you don't have external judgement, it's just how you feel about yourself and how you tell your story. You can still catchup and nobody will care, but you are working with less time and the compromises get more dicey but you're going to be 35,40,50,60 anyway so you might as well work to make them good year rather than just give up at 23 and endure 30 years of hell.

I don't think there's any one right thing for people to do at any one age, and actually, in general, the greatest people in any one arena are the people who break the taboos and don't do the norm. I'm a lit nerd, and I think most people would agree that Cormac McCarthy is the greatest living author we have this is a guy who dropped out of a Southern state school and deployed to Alaska with the Air Force while everyone else was rushing into Harvard or Brooklyn. But it's a mistake to think that this guy wasn't setting himself on a certain trajectory while he was young. And that's the thing. The trajectory you're on at 25, will affect the trajectory you're on at 30, and at 30, 35. That's just how life is. Inertia is real. So if you're not happy with your trajectory, you need to pivot and pivot hard, and the sooner the better. People know this but struggle with it because they either don't know what trajectory they want to be on, they don't know how to pivot, or they just feel that the inertia of their life is too great to change directions. So it does matter, but not how people tend to think.
