>>16577249
why are you shitting in every board I browse? take your shitty wojack garbage back to r*ddit, faggot

>>16577255
i'm a lot of points... i often imagine how I'd act in situations which are 10 years ago sometimes and i'm fucking 21. Also the music part is so true, and the success one, fuck.

>>16577249
You have schizoid personality disorder.

>>16577255
Yup, im one of them.

>>16577277
not this here?

>maladaptive daydreaming,

>>16577249
I wasted my early twenties like this. I would go back however; now I am overweight, just finishing college, and gfless.

>>16577277
are you sure daydreaming isnt a symptom of adhd, which i got diagnosed with

>>16577249
>was literally top of my class in HS
>always told I was smart by my peers and teachers until I believed I was some sort of genius
>even voted most likely to succeed despite not being that socially capable
>got accepted at several top unis
>go to uni and slide into complete degeneracy and become person in the op within the first year and a half
>now find it nearly impossible to work hard or maintain focus for long
>failing at my masters currently (at a far worse uni because my grades were shit and the prestige can only get you so far when you’re obviously a terrible student)
Where did it all go so wrong? I remember genuinely believing I was going to be somebody. Maybe that’s just growing up

>>16577310
To be fair I was starting to suspect it might at least partly be because of adhd. I feel like I need constant stimulation and my daydreaming and my thoughts tend to be a lot more rapid fire and stimulating than really reading anything or any of those things that require lots of time investment to reap a reward. Whereas with daydreaming you just conjure up all these different scenarios or you ruminate on all these past things and it’s like being on Instagram scrolling from post to post just to occupy your thoughts or mind. I feel like it’s that need for constant, rapid stimulation, feeling like my brain is run by a motor that’s really fucked me up

>>16577318
You had the same problem as many of us: you were intelligent enough to cruise easily in HS without doing jackshit so you never developed the work ethics and the moment you were actually challenged and had to grind through it you failed.

borderline not schizoid

>>16577249
>imagine success to cope instead of achieving it

It's the only point I can relate to
and I don't really imagine success but some arbitrary problem I'd have as a "successful" person, and then I'd solve it in my head.
But it's entirely just to cope. The situations are usually not too unrealistic, not really glamorous either. This week I imagined having a job and tried to come up with a good way of telling my boss I gotta get some work on my teeth so I gotta be off work for a bit.
this doesn't happen every day, maybe once a week.

>>16577249
anyone else unconsciously live in their heads, its like a drug (an escape) and i cant go for a single second without listening to a podcast or being on my phone/laptop because i just THINK and its so painful lol

>>16577469
Yep, especially in the shower lol

>>16577249
This is me and aside from commiting sewerside, IDK how to fix it

>>16577390
This. I literally did nothing in hs and failed out of college my 2nd year. But then I got back in cause it was the only thing I had and learned to grind.

My dad tried to teach me work ethic ls by making me mop/sweep/mow lawns. All it taught me was how to hate work.

>>16577469
Yeah I know exactly how you feel. It’s like a different world, one that has lately consumed me and I can’t seem to escape from it
>>16577390
>never developed the work ethics
Yeah I was shocked by how my flatmates (and really most of my graduating class) studied compared to me. I’d always see them with their head down in the library doing solid for hours meanwhile I keep leaving my seat and walking around daydreaming, fidgeting, doing like a million different things on the computer while I’m trying to “study” (I.e. have one relevant tab open that I occasionally switch to and read a couple sentences before getting distracted). It’s been quiet the nightmare lads seeing everything I spent the first part of my life working for (having sacrificed so much socially in Middle and high school) just come apart in the last 4 years

>>16577255
Shits hilarious

>>16577277
isn't daydreaming normal?

>>16577249
your generation has been sold down the river. you'll be lucky to become a homeowner at the age of 40.

>>16577249

This tends to be me at my worst lol.

I was identfied as gifted at a young age. Never really had to try too hard at school untill college electrical engineering.

The big thing is to think up plans, and then PULL THE FUCKING TRIGGER, and just go do it. Always look forward. Always plan. Write down goals, think about how to improve.

>>16577249
>24 year old with almost exactly the same problems
fuck

How do you get out of the cycle? I'm 26, living off of my parents' money, spending days doing nothing but dream about various scenes. My father is almost bankrupt. I don't know what to do.

I remeber one my classmates back in HS. Dude was truly gifted, mart, tall. He had the best grades in all subjects.

He ended up working in a call-center and got caught by the police for selling weed.

ITT: zoomers that think they are special and woke because the where raised by digital screens. guess what reality hits sooner or later. you think now the years you spend in your head having nothing to show for it, are not much but they will add up fast if you dont act now and wonder where your youth went

>>16577249
nailed me down to a T
take your meds, schizo, (they work, I know from experience)

>>16577255
You dont imagine what life would be like if it didnt suck?

>>16577255
unfortunately yes here I am. started doing this shit when i was young I am 20 now

>>16577341
I'm experiencing this too, its like a clock on my brain that makes me break focus all the time

How can we stop this? I've started to read more books and limit my exposure to phone, i already freed myself from social media, but the constant urge to grab the fucking phone for no reason at all still persists

>>16577733
>posting the same thing everyone else in this thread is talking about and discussing why they’re having troubles
This thread may be full of people who discovered they aren’t as smart as they thought they were but I guess you are yet to do the same

>>16577277
people will call everyone who is different to have a personality disorder

>>16577889
>constant urge to grab the fucking phone for no reason at all still persists
I’m exactly the same way. Even when I know there’s nothing to look at, nothing to check id still rather look at shit I already looked at than do something actually productive but requiring more mental effort. Idk what happened I used to genuinely be able to exert a lot of mental effort when I worked now it’s like I’m a bonafide retard. Haven’t been able to cut out social media yet though, and now that I’m back on the chan after managing to leave it for a couple years.... yeah things aren’t looking too good for me. Keep up the progress though anon it’s baby steps I suppose

>>16577255

>>16577889
dopamine addiction man, you have you train youself

>>16577932
Yeah just like all the people self diagnosing with depression or anxiety or adhd on social media just because they feel like they’re a little different from their friends and even saying shit like “I have a chemical imbalance” like they have the first clue about their brain chemistry lmao. It’s like people are too aware of mental health now and they try to explain away everything in life using it

Holy shit this image is too close to my reality

Fuck

im everyone one of these, including age.
one of the captions should probably be 'ADHD'

stop FUCKING data scraping our POSTS you STUPID FUCKING machine

>>16577532
Or maybe high school education is fuck all easy and our peers were genuinely retarded? You all know those high school teachers are just banging each other and show up to work hung over, right? I know some teachers who graduated from college and still party like it's freshman year. They don't give a single shit. As long as they give the state their numbers it's all good. You were all just a shiny number to them. Fucking fags. Get over yourselves and go do what you love.
Fucking faggots.

>>16577981
This. I’ve been thinking this recently and it would certainly explain the constant need to daydream, to use my phone, to be listening to or watching something, frequently flipping between different forms of entertainment in the same sitting. Guess being glued to a the screen and a gaming console for much of my formative years came back to bite me in the ass (and I’m guessing most of us here as well)

>>16577596

>>16577968
YOU AIN'T GOT NO YEEZY NIGGA?

Turn the ideas into something productive or waste away as a burnout. Doesn't matter how smurt you are, you're getting lapped by the 80 IQ mouthbreather every day he's out doing shit and you're stuck in place contemplating.

>>16578079
I think most people here are probably aware of that by now. The problem really with being stuck in this state of mind is you don’t even really feel like a real person, just like a stimulation machine. You’re just going from daydream to daydream, distraction to distraction, even listening to music you get invested in it and like the op says sorta daydream that you’re the one in the song so it all just feels kind of shallow. Just dopamine shots, no real underlying goals or motivations. A feeling of emptiness if you will. At least that’s just me but I’m guessing most here are too
