Start working in construction or moving. Work the hard shitty jobs and act like you've already done them. They pay the most (over $30 an hour), and there's no commitment. I've gotten over a thousand dollars just working a few days moving around furniture. That paid for my expenses for the entire month. You need to call all of these places and ask if they need any help and what day.

If you're not /fit/, get the janitor jobs that pay at least $12 an hour. They actually do exist and they're easy as fuck. The problem is the hours aren't that good, but it's flexible. DON'T start a full time 8 hour job, you're not ready for this and you will get burned out. Plus, those jobs are in demand and most people want consistent income.

Most illegals fled the country so many of these jobs are paying pretty well now. ASK around, talk to people. There's a lot of opportunity in this country, so don't goof off. Build work ethic first, then start finding the better more fulfilling jobs, they'll start appearing and you'll know what you want to do.

Hey bro lemme help you out

First, look around for any kind of job you can get. Chances are it won't be something you think is great, but give it a chance. Just suck it up and get your ass to work. It'll suck for a while until you get used to it.

Now besides just "get a job you lazy nigger" or whatever, this will have a couple effects. One, it will get you out of your damn room, you filthy pornography addict. This will be good for your health and for your mental health too because you will have more shit in front of your eyes than 4chan for a least part of the day, you degenerate. Then you'll be at work, following a routine, and being productive. Hopefully, you'll feel good about doing things for people. Despite what edgy teenagers on the internet say, it's ok to enjoy being what mainstream society would call a"good person." You'll talk to coworkers and other fucking human being and before you know it, you'll have friends that you do more with than talk about your league rank and how many times you fapped to the latest anal sfm compilation on pornhub before bed.

After putting up with all that bullshit for a while and realizing that real life is actually not all that bad after all, you'll get paid. This is another great thing because that means after a few months when you've saved some if this filthy lucre, you can get your own place and move out of your parents house, you horrible freeloader. Don't "invest" that shit in crypto, get an IRA and a savings account like a normal person, you'll thank me later. This seems like a huge burden like holy fuck why do I spend all this money on things I got for free before? Fucking independence, you silly fuck. Look, now you're paying your own way in the world. You don't have the same anxiety about being a freeloader and a real girl might actually let you touch her actual skin eventually. You'll become a man or some shit, captain of your own destiny.

tl;dr: Get a fucking job and be your own fucking man, man.

Your social anxieties will become anxieties about how you are going to pay for everything and whether or not you'll be able to retire. That sounds terrible but it gives you some shit to talk about with your mature friends down at the pub while you're all commiserating about how you hate your jobs, but most of you really don't. It's just the thing you say now. You've become a normal person. A regular douchebag. Welcome.

Honestly, at this point join the military before you're too old to have it as an option. It isn't the job you've always dreamed of and you won't get rich, but you will get the GI bill, VA insurance, and if you make a career of it you'll have college figured out.

If not, take your GI bill shekels and study something where you won't have trouble finding a job that pays a decent living like nursing or something. That would pay you enough to pay your bills, have a little fun, and save up enough for a decent retirement.

This is the part that I really fail at. I don't like the bullshit normie conversation where you are just supposed to say things that aren't true and talk about stupid shit that doesn't matter. I'm not a full autist but I like debating ideas, especially controversial things, etc. Other than that I'd rather just talk about stupid bullshit like video games (which I no longer play) or nothing at all

guess it's just a skill I need to work on but I really feel socially isolated because of this

Hey me too man but see back when I was a kid if you had any shit like that they just called it ADD and gave you ritalin.

I didn't start doing anything with my life until I was about your age. I'm 40 now and doing alright, mostly I've found that the key to happiness at least for myself is in choosing to be happy. Don't let other people tell me what I'm allowed to enjoy. Do work I believe in. Try to see the good in things and recognize that even though I have a tendency towards selfishness, that other people are cool too.

Or just redpill up and fuck everybody I don't know man, don't let me tell you how to live your life.

I'm not the guy you were originally replying to, but maybe you can give me some advice anyway. I'm 30 next year and I've been with the same woman for 5 years. I have no real job and I sort of lucked into a small business with my cousin, right place at the right time, some Internet shit basically. I can do it from anywhere. It's in a lull right now and basically it may never bounce back since market conditions in our niche are a bit bleak right now but we made a fair amount, so I have like $90,000. I was pretty bad with money when I was younger so he helped me put it in a trust or something like that so I basically can't touch it for a year, although I do have a little bit in checking.

Basically I'm wondering what you think about my situation and what I should do. I could stick with the business and probably pick things up again and make a fair amount, way more per hour than a janitor job or anything like that, but it's not stable and it's definitely a gamble. On the other hand I have no real qualifications for a typical cubicle slave job.

I kind of don't know what to do next. I have this little pile of future money I can use but I'm in this weird limbo in life. I also have no friends which sucks, and I have no idea how to make friends as a 30-year-old man. As a kid I would just play video games and talk to other nerds, but now that's out the window and all of my peers (other adults...) are busy with actual life things, like kids and houses and shit

so idk. Send help lol

I should note that on most days i don't do shit, I'm on an extended vacation right now. My work ethic sucks and I'm also directionless and a bit lost/scared/lonely etc despite being a grown man I'm definitely lacking in a lot of these important areas that I think other people grew out of in their late teens and early-mid 20's. I just skipped a lot of life phases by being a shut-in.

Follow Jesus. We all come with nothing and we will all leave with nothing. We will all have to answer to God. Don't stress if you haven't made it. We're living in the end times, and Jesus return is near. What you really have cannot be measured in dollars and physical assets. It's measured in righteousness which God is keeping track of. God is the real bank of the universe. Fuck cryptocurrency. Your soul was lent to you by God and He has watched what you have done with this opportunity of life.

No joke, video games have probably destroyed the lives of millions of young people.

I know that if my parents would have allowed me to do nothing and just play vidya i'd do nothing else. Because the moment i got out of their control I actually quit my job and started to play vidya again. Even when i had a job, my only aspiration was to get home asap and start playing some gayyme. Wasn't even MMOs or anything like that, just single player titles (mostly strategies and RPG).
If i had an access to WoW or anything like that it would have been even worse.

On the other hand, if there were no vidya i'd probably just be an alcoholic or a gambling addict.

For me it was. But I managed to go through my BA and MS programs and come out with no debt. It certainly opened my world up, I've traveled all over the world and I've been offered all but 2 jobs I've ever interviewed for. University is a great way to meet people and be social, at first I felt awkward because I was older, but it turns out that nobody cares much about that as long as you're not some kind of weirdo.

Video games work because there are rules.

Game theory in real life is fucked.

Joe Rogan moans that there is just too much to know.

The truth is not so miopic. Bible study, learning the mindset of the literal greek and hebrew with etymologies.

When the vain show is as in your face as it is, being in the world but not of it, life as an exile. Joy cracks through, in solitude.

If your parents are so supportive, start a gardening hobby and feed them.

I dont udnerstand how the fuck can anyone waste thousands of hours into some shitty game. I do get the appeal of vidya in general, and I have my favorite titles as well, metal gear, dark souls, silent hill, diablo, and some other old shit, counter-strike

But fucking league of legends. Im not even talking about the fact the mechancis look hilariously simplistic and tergeted towards 10year olds, the fucking art style and general conception

its like there's no fucking clue, not a single idea to it. Its like someone put a 12 year old retard with crayons and told them to just keep drawing ridiculous characters, and then put that shit into the game

theres no fucking direction. The colors are fucking ugly

every fucking playable character looks like taken from another game, and doesnt match with the others

i actually don't think peruvians are that bad, but what is actually shit is that dota is overrun by these league faggots if anything. in 2015 when source 2 came out, leaguelets came to dota because their game was dog shit and now you have these brainlets infesting the dota subreddit(the only place valve looks at) with their useless posts about cosmetics. make a thread on game balance or custom games or anything that actually improves the game and you will get downvoted by faggots circlejerking about a dying game. and they justify the dying game by pointing to esports viewership, which is exactly the same thing the leaguelets used to do 5 years ago. unfortunately these same league faggots are funding these cosmetics while everyone else leaves this shit game so valve will keep pretending that nothing's wrong until these same people start leaving too.
