They're not better than you, they're better at playing the game than you.

There is nothing stopping you from also doing some bullshit and making a nice Linkedin from it

>>19366803
atleast your goodreads dabs on theirs, right anon?

>LinkedIn

What are you, like 50 years old?

>>19366803
Everyone feels the same way. Everyone feels like shit. The people who have nice LinkedIns feel like shit and envy people who have better ones than they do. Not only that, but they feel their own accomplishments are worthless and, if they have a lot of stuff on their LinkedIn, they probably feel like a bit of an impostor as well. In a world of endless unstable hierarchies, relentless self-centredness, and neverending ambition and desire, no-one wins, even the people supposedly at the very top. Everyone just feels like shit instead.

>i am le sad...nothing can be done... it is the fault of...... social media?!?!

If you're not a retard, you'll soon end up in a low-stress, low-responsibility bullshit job that still pays the bills and you'll love that you don't have to waste your life doing shit that will look good on a resume so that you can get a high-stress, high-responsibility job that gives you more money to consume a bunch of shit that won't make you happy.

Pay no mind to such bourgeois posturing and spiritually vacant careerism.

>>19366803
Who cares. Careers are so boring. Only fat boomers are obsessed with their careers.

It’s not about social media; it’s about a particular backbiting aspect of the human condition.
“Keeping up with the Joneses” has been a thing in one form or another probably since agriculture aka the fall of man.

>>19368160
no it hasn't, it's been a way to deal with complexes and feelings of inferiority, not their cause. you're just sad and disappointed and for some reason consider it the logical outcome or some kind of human condition.
maybe you thought you were smart in high school and now your friends are more successful. maybe you don't have love. this is not "the human condition" or "the fall of man". this is a consequence of your choices.
plenty of people are happy, loving, and willing to give to their neighbours. this is, in fact, the human condition.

>>19366803
Unironically, most of them are miserable.

Armchair psychoanalysis, eh? Truly the sign of a self-satisfied person decidedly unsatisfied with their self. Wot wot, wink wink.

i'm happy and giving out to others without expecting anything in return. i have control over my life and could completely change it tomorrow if i wished. i have love and my hope for the future is not "it will change".
i'm not trying to troll, discuss, or analyse you. i'm trying to help you. the problem is not in social media or the human condition. your emotions are not a logical outcome of your thoughts, it's the other way around. it's not obligatory to feel like shit. it's not anybody's fault. you can change all this if you're strong.

just find the thing you love the most and do it with all your strength until you can’t anymore
