My subjective view is that this is exaggerated. More like 7/10 get out of it in some form or another. They don't go straight to being fortune 500 CEOs but they tend to straighten themselves out, find things to do, find their niches socially and professionally. The ones descending into further misery are not the norm.

In what way did it go to shit, OP?

I'm in a similar boat, I'm 24 and afraid to leave my gf even though I'm pretty sure I don't love her and we've dated since hs, but now I feel like I might either end up dying alone or find a vastly inferior mate if I started dating afresh.
This is compounded by the fact that I have had no friends for a few years now and don't seem to know how to make any new good, true friends.

I used to think this way. Then I realized at 16, I had no opportunities to know any better. Sixteen was when I discovered this site unironically, over 10 years ago. I have browsed hundreds of thousands of posts and rarely post myself, but I'm doing it now to state and point and because I feel, now is the time to rant and in this rant perhaps establish a process of healing for myself.

A unique thought occurred. From where would I get the information I have now in my arsenal? To program or to know about cryptocurrencies. I actually discovered Bitcoin at 16... this was 2010 when it was just a couple bucks and I tried to mine but couldn't figure out how and didn't have the money to buy crypto. My parents didn't teach me anything and the internet was still in it's infancy, torrents weren't as good and I simply did not have the circle of friends, the time or any sort of mentor to advance in my knowledge of game, business, programming, crypto, etc, etc. At what point could I have influenced the outcome of things?

An example would be the fact that I grew weed in high school, backyard, the forest, etc. But my crops always failed. I didn't understand rigorous farming technique and the concept of proper seedlings. I have traced two failures; proper marijuana cultivation would have netted me actual money when the economy was in the trash and my knowledge of BTC would have led me to buy it with hard-earned gains, then I would inevitably would do time and wouldn't be able to sell my BTC... the longer the sentence, the better. And I would come out worth millions if not a hundred million with my private key memorized.

My point being faggot OP, I figured out the exact timeframe that my consciousness now would have to be in my previous body, being that at the age of 14... motherfucker, at 14 I would have to know what I know now to change things. Not 16. You have to trace time back to the decisions and even pre-decisions that led you to where you are now. A 14 year old's understanding of discipline, basic technological innovation and such just aren't on par with my background and the lack of steering I received at that age. I also want to lament, that I didn't buy Bitcoin at 16 or later because I read an Economist's article stating that BTC was meant to replace the dollar and I knew at the time no deflationary asset would replace fiat due to the earlier struggle at the beginning of the century (read William Jenning's Brayn Cross of Gold speech). But I failed to understand BTC was just a major stepping stone. Just a few words, "Bitcoin aims to replace the USD fiat standard" were the difference between me investing and not investing. The decisions and actions of those times have influenced me immensely and now I view the world in much less rose-tinted glasses.

What I'm trying to say, is that your appeal of the world is significantly less due to your understanding of it. The more you understand the world, truly understand it, the darker you become, at least from a spiritual perspective. I am not trying to say "it's going to be okay" and "better days are ahead" because they're probably not, for at least you. But I have granted myself quite a bit of self-acceptance for my mistakes, however large because I failed... and I failed because there were no conclusive options for me to take otherwise that would have led down a different path. Now I have many options to decide how my life will go and I continue to choose the safest bet over the long course.

I recommend you take a look to what that has led you to today and then basically find out what you're bringing to the world.

Let's make a simple decision tree to nail it home for faggots like you and other loser boomers in this thread.

If X => X => X => X => X

Your life currently in the equation above

If X => X => X => X
||
Y => D => E => C

What you like to think is that you could have chosen option Y at the critical junction.

BUT THE DECISION TO PICK Y HAD TO PRECEDE THE DECISION X, WHICH WAS IMPOSSIBLE GIVEN CIRCUMSTANCES

At a younger age, you enjoyed the preoccupation of your mind-numbing existence in a delightful bliss of ignorance.

I didn't. I was ridiculed and mocked and heavily ostracized growing up in school. I knew my vast intelligence would allow me to gain victory in the longer term over the jock faggots I went to school with. In hence time, I have re-rendered my decisions to accept the previous information to impact further decisions. Meaning, I look twenty, thirty, forty years ahead from the perspective of then, back now, to choose the proper decision for my life. I know the end point and I simply have to re-arrange the data tree to suit the journey there, being many multitudes of paths and possible endings. I play from the endgame and it has vastly improved my life over the course of 18 months. Surely, there are depressing days and days when I want to kms, but that'll never go away.

Understand this, we are but bits of programming and have an intended purpose. DNA is literally code, strands of protein and you in your neural network have a pathology, biology and behavior instincts. You have a purpose, probably as a janitor but who knows. I have chosen mine and accept that the confines of this purpose, I am to fulfill because I see it and I must obey it because I have no other choice, I will be miserable if I ignore it because I know. I think therefore, I am. I know there, I must or I see, therefore I must go. In the same way OP, you must realize you are a bacterium in the greater whole of bacteria that is humanial civilization. You must contribute or you can choose not to, whatever the fuck you really want. But you must understand we are moving through the time dimension and this bacterium fluctates and that you are in a key perspective point and have decisions influenced by the past that can trigger future actions. As soon as you see the tree and the ideal endpoint you can begin working towards it and planning and executing.

You're probably as ugly and stupid as you think you are, but people care much less about you than you think. There is nothing you can do to change that and you have probably been resorted to the lower tier of existence. I would say suck it up but that sucks and there's nothing you can really do about it. My path and my philosophy does not apply to you. There is also no such thing as destiny or meant to happen. You are not special and neither am I. I would tell you to do shit but you'll be unmotivated to do shit and could care less, as I would to. Ultimately you just have to be (or not to be, choose rope). It doesn't matter to me or anyone else here really. If by existing and you continue existing you'll find perhaps other choices open up.

Don't worry OP, 30 is a peak of human male. You have 5 more years: 2 to fix your shit, 3 to enjoy life. But then your health and sex appeal will dwindle, and it will become increasingly harder just to make friends. However, even I haven't grown up to a point where it becomes a major issue.
