Doesn't seem like my friends are doing much; they do a lot of shitlib talk on Facebook.

Anon I...

>>12573133
Wait five years anon.

>>12573133
>decide to go on Facebook
I found your problem.

>was bullied hard in school
>checked their facebooks a few years ago

Not a bad end, especially when you cannot get over your baggage

>>12573133
checked
you really have to wait til around 26-30, thats when the real survive and the weak die off

>>12573370
He's right, people only show their best on Facebook.

>>12573133
It's easy to be successful on social media.

>look up former classmates
>theyre all mediocre wagies slaving their life away for shlomo, one of them even got divorce raped
>meanwhile i rejected this slave lifestyle and living full time as a comfy neet

Social media is used to boost status for those who lack status otherwise. Social media does not require real status, or wealth so that is why it's so popular

>>12573133
No one posts a sad photo on Facebook. A lot of those people are $100K in debt.

>>12573796
it's comfy asf desu. I just quit 3 weeks ago and became a neet again. screw wasting my best years slaving away for mr shekelberg.

>>12574294

how do u get money tho

>>12573133

>he doesn't realize most normies get debt to do that shit or ask money to their parents who use debt to give them money

>>12574294
wish i didnt have a gf that wanted to get married
wouldve totally done this by now

>>12574309
i have cool parents that fucked around until they were 30, they would understand

>>12574309
You take the NEET pledge and apply for neetbux.

After high school, i fell off the face of the earth. I held on to a hand full of cool people from school, 4 in which i see on regular occasions. i'm facebook friends with tons of high school friends, but i never post anything. rarely share anything. never say anything about my job, where i live. i keep it as obscure as possible without seeming inactive.

my plan is to make it and then flood my feed with all my cool shit and awesome places i will visit.

so when people actually do think "hey i wonder what anon is up to?" by some very slight chance, they will look me up and be bombarded with jealousy and envy.

>>12574365
i understand where you are coming from but you're still acting form a place of insecurity and feelings of not being good enough. Your motivations for bettering yourself are flawed as they come from the perspective of wanting to get back at, one up, or "I'll show them". I feel a similar thing when I look at the range of people I've interacted with in life on social media and have dreamt about returning to a high-school reunion as the fringe badass who sets off down his own path and seems to be effortlessly successful and cool. only now am I starting to realize that that motivation will get you nowhere. It has to come from an internal motivator.
after highschool I spent a year living abroad, then went to college, had a few amazing and colorful relationships, got a degree in chemistry and philosophy, and then rode my bike solo across america the summer after I graduated. And here I am working a part-time retail job with minimal savings, owe my parents a bit of money and have a few k squirreled away in cryptp.

Yeah, I have dreams and ideas of the kind of life I want to live, the adventures I want to have and people I want to surround myself with but from most perspectives my life right now kinda sucks, isn't heading anywhere and is basically stuck in an on-hold loop.

The thing that will get me out of it and moving towards my idealized life is not going to be a desire to one-up my old classmates who don't even remember me, but to realize that that's not the goal that will bring satisfaction in life and realize that the opinion and approval of others does not matter.

I went through the same thing with gym motivation. It used to be a lot of anger, self-loathing and desire to one up and be better than others but that only lasts so long before it burns out. Now my motivation is more of a sense of responsibility to my future self and an understanding of the benefits of exercise and desire to be physically capable.

Thats funny, i went back to my little town and saw some people who i thought would be big shit they were popular smart def had potential. "So what are you doing nowadays working on wallstreet yet? " tfw they are all selling vehicles or doing construction. I at least grt to work in a lab

>>12573133
>living in cities like NYC, SF
Be glad that you didn't end up in their position

>>12574738
>a degree in chemistry and philosophy
I thought science degrees were useful?
Is chemistry that useless?

>>12575225
Chemical Engineering gets you jobs. Chemistry alone is mostly premed failures, so employers avoid Chemistry majors like the black plague. If you get a Chem degree, youre expected to go to for your Masters/PhD right after.

>>12573796
>>12574294
>tfw parents who would be immensely disappointed and internally loathe me if I dropped Uni and became a NEET

At least they're paying for some of my education

>>12573133
>go on Facebook
You were and still are a normie scum, you were never an outcast "nerd". You were simply a pathetic loser that tried to fit in with them

still in college but most of the popular kids from my school are studying psychology and making minimum wage at a fucking boutique or a restaurant.

also, living in SF = winning? lol

>>12574365
>my plan is to make it and then flood my feed with all my cool shit and awesome places i will visit.
U need some Buddhism for ur ego buddy

post Belle Delphine, Xev, or Anime whores on your FB page anon. Show those ugly girls they aren't as good as our waifus.

young people still use facebook? im 22 and facebook seemed really dead before I deleted the app last year. seems like people only use IG and maybe snapchat

>>12576160
>snapchat
Boomerfag detected, kids use tiktok.

>>12573133
At least you'll die earlier because of your unhealthy lifestyle

>>12573133
You were more popular in high school than you realized. Because kids are fucking stupid.

>>12574738
This. Well said, anon. The best "revenge" is to live well, not showing others you're living well

>>12573549
Can confirm .. all dead

t. 31

>>12573133
Even "nerds" know the importance of social skills, good image, hygiene, healthy body == healthy brain.

It's not too late, though

No that anon is right, I graduated 3 years ago with a bsc in general chemistry. It took me 2 years and probably close to 1k applications to get my first job, it was some of the most depressing time of my life. Im thankful now because im not working construction kr manual labor but im still only making 20\h (loonies) and its worth less now that kinimum wage was hiked to 14 but still im not killing mybody but its unfullfilling lab rat work. I could go back tk school but im not interested in furthering my study of the field and even from a monetary perspective to double my debt qnd still have no idea what id like to do with that. Bsc chemistry is a meme and nobody told me not that i wouldve listened anyway. Emplyers just want 5 years experience for min wage busywprk with no prospect for moving up other than to be a lab supervisor. That said there are still good opportunities ive been trying to get into the local nuclear power plant, also tfw i spoke to people who got jobs there 15 years ago with just highsxhool degrees and were just trained...

>>12573133
Um sweety, when people talk about "nerds winning" they usually refer to the quiet academically-gifted people who got perfect scores in highschool math classes, studied CS in college and went on to make millions in tech.

Not the ugly smelly incels who sniffed glue in the back of the class and nearly dropped out to play World of Warcraft such as yourself

Hope this helps sweetie :)

>29
>bunch of people I knew are now dead (wtf), they started dropping like flies around 24/25
>about 1/3 are doctors and lawyers and shit
>the rest look about 45 and have various fucked up lives

I think I came out ok

Rationalizing my way out from the desire to get society approval killed my motivation to do anything and led me to nihilist lifestyle. I think it's better to live in a rollercoaster rather than numbness, at least there's something to expect.

>>12576394
im kinda excited for people to die. i dont want them to die but its so interesting to hear who bit it. Ive known 3 people who died either during or within 2 years after highschool

>>12576553
This. Holy shit, this is what happened when I was a teen, I basically forced myself no to “fit in” or even try to because other’s people approval is meaningless.
Wrong. That’s the core motivator at least when you are young. If you kill it it will kill you, you will have no drive to do anything and become a nihilistic worm.

>>12577023
The only way to turn my life around was to tap into that desire, and act on it.

>>12573359
This. Let em bleed out, they probably can't even afford to live check to check and live on credit.

>>12576553
>>12577023
That's a step, next step is Übermensch.

>>12573359

The modern slavery

>tfw could care less what anyone from my school is doing

step it up basedboys

>>12573133
>afraid to check social media in fear of this
I was always #1 in every course I ever took, and everyone knew I was one of the smartest kids in the entire school without even trying. They're probably all rolling in bank while I'm barely surviving. Booksmarts mean nothing IRL, it's all about being normalfaggotty, because jobs hire based on who they think would be fun to hang out with all day, not who can score the highest on a test. The education system fucking ruined me.
I'm still trying to figure out how to /make it/ but shit, man. All that time spent studying, I should have just hung out with chad and hoped his chaddness would rub off on me.
Then again given the shithole I came from I bet 9/10 are still in that dead end town working dead end jobs and producing ugly future drug addict children, so who knows. The blessing of ignorance is you can imagine every possibility.
I don't have social media so no one can look my shit up. I even got a name change to make sure there would be no way to connect my past self to my current self. I don't come up in google results. feels good man. I'm a ghost.

>>12575225
General science degrees are 100% useless in the sense of getting jobs in that field without a PhD

>>12576325
Or perhaps you’re just a moron

>>12573133

Too early. The justice comes around 30, i promise. Especially for the girls.

>almost all those friends are wasting their lives in shit jobs or became commies
>I have very good degrees and a position I love

Pretty bitter feel

>>12573133
Same story. Sort of... okay not really. I know a few better off than me. One became a fucking accountant something (forgot the name of his title) and he didn't even go to fucking college. The rest tho are making shit an hr. I live in LA tho so shit pay is the norm.

>>12573133

ChemE seems to be awful for entry level, at least for me. It fucking nirvana once you settle in an industry you like and get some experience in but before then you're delegated to doing total bitchwork. If I could do it all again I'd definitely go MechE.

>>12573133
I dunno, I feel bad whenever I see people from hs doing bad. Some of them were assholes but desu they seemed really frustrated and sad inside. I hope they do okay.

Maybe sounds fancy, but do you realize the actual work sucks fucking dick

I'm 24, I graduated last year with a meme degree (History and Philosophy) and blew all my money on drugs and travelling. Being a poorfag NEET at home while half my friends buy property and get promoted in software / engineer jobs has snapped something in my head so I signed up to a bottom rung accounting course at college. Have I left it to late?

>>12579846
Unless you go full CPA, which takes awhile, there's a good chance you'll hit an earnings cap. You may want to pursue administrative work on the side. I have a friend who works for an insurance firm even though he has a BS in history with a shit gpa.

>>12579973
I'm doing AAT then ACCA, I'm planning to work in drone tier data entry or admin stuff until I can get a training job for the ACCA. As long as I'm on 50k by 30 I won't kill myself

>>12573133

>wtf guys I thought the nerds would win in the end

Only in movies bro.

>>12580015
would you trade the experience of travelling to study 2 years earlier

>no willpower
>feeling sorry for yourself
>not breaking out of your comfort zone

>>12576325
I got my chem bsc four years ago and found a job a few months after graduating. It wasn't too difficult, the only issue is you're going to be stuck in contract/temp hell for a few years because no place wants to bring inexperienced chemists on permanently. I got transitioned into a salary position a year ago, but it doesn't pay that much. I kind of wish I took chem e instead, but I'm not cut out for that shit.

>>12576325
it depends on where you live. In my area there are dozens of places always looking for chemists. My company hired a temporary chem major with a masters degree in something I can't remember, but it didn't help his chances in the job hunt. Master's and phd programs are memes unless you know exactly what the fuck you're doing and how to use it.

>>12579973
Insurance adjuster / “analyst” is the absolute lowest tier of work that still requires a bachelor’s degree — those jobs max out at like $50-60k

>>12580090
yes. But ideally I wish I travelled at spent 3 years at uni instead of 5. I had a kidney operation and started again but in hindsight that was my ideal time to ditch fucking history and do accounting.

>>12580384
Fuck man I want to study history but you make it sound awful.

>>12581438
The content is interesting but it's a complete scam to get a degree in it and the content is very politically biased (I'm no poltard, it is genuinely absurdly globalist and focused on feminist / postcolonial issues). I could have spent that time securing myself a triple figure salary doing a STEM subject but instead I had a fun, interesting but ultimately useless time there

All this Schadenfreude makes you really ugly.

>>12576553
same here. I consider myself nihilistic and misanthropic. I hate my fellow men and he hates me.

>>12573133

I really want to know what has happened to to the people I once knew in high school. It seemed like the once friends I had in college had never finished school and continue to waste their time away on video games and anime. It seemed like everyone disappeared and new people begin to shuffle into your life. You completely forget about them. It would be nice to see those friends again on facebook. But I know for sure the successful ones aren't going to make facebook posts anymore.
