I cannot imagine having to go somewhere at a specific time to do something for someone all day every day for ~40 years just to survive
This occurred to me when I started thinking about the prison-like nature of my college experience thus far and how frustrating it's been; then I realized this is a (comparatively mild and lenient) microcosm of most first worlders' entire lives

Yep. People cope massively video games, bars, television. Everyone is feeling inflation and absurd rent prices. The world lacks meaning as cliche as it sounds people in the first world just exist to consume now. Buy TRUFF to profit off the upcoming shroom boom where normies try to search for meaning

Yeah I'd kill myself any given day except I've got a family to care for. I found getting a CDL helped because I don't mind driving around and the pay is decent, and it doesn't really feel the same as sucking fucking dick in an office or whatever.

If you had brains you'd study aboard and fuck da foreign girls in da pooper. Yes, things don't get better. And if you get laid off you get left behind by the people who were lucky and didn't get laid off.

The fact that you’re already this distressed about college doesn’t bode well for you.

I went to an Ivy League school and found the experience so easy and freeing and fun. Aside from a few difficult courses/projects that really stick out in my mind, college was pure fun and irresponsibility. Nothing “jail-like” about it. Im sorry your experience has been so distressing.

As for work, I work from home. With no threat of returning to the office bc my company has no central office. I don’t enjoy my work, but whenever I’m stressed out I can just step away and sit in the backyard in the sun for a few minutes. Overall, it really isn’t that bad. I’m far from miserable.

You can make a life that works for you. But, like I was saying, if you’re already this miserable in school I think it doesn’t bode well. Potentially indicates you need to change what you’re studying, make some more friends etc.

Yeah, I am quite shy + mild autism and don't have any friends. Even though I don't have an intrinsic interest in any of the clubs here I think I will start forcing myself to go to just to try to meet people and quell loneliness

hard life lesson. Never look back.
>life is simple you make choices and you never look back
there's two ways to take this, in japan i would have stayed and never looked back to norway. Move somewhere new if you want a change, a social life.
Secondly, you have made your decision, stop pining for japan, thinking what ifs, move again, do something else, stop withering in self pity. Things will be shit for a while, then they'll be better.

college was amazing, surrounded by a bunch of people your age, young and optimistic about the future. No one really took anything too seriously

Once you get into wagiedom, the whole experience flips on its head. People your age are rare, most people are jaded and disillusioned, and everyone takes everything way too seriously.

Might have to become that creepy late 20s boomer and go back to college again

Make some friends. And KEEP them if you can. Difficult I know but just stay in touch, chat with them online. That's the most important part of college. All the best experiences I can look back on were with/because of frens in college. I've completely disconnected from everyone I met and I frequently think about them, wondering where they are now in life. This coming from an INTJ.. don't disconnect anon

thanks anon, but that's basically what i've got to do, as you say.
I couldve been happy alone, or sad with others. I wanted to believe i could get both by being happy with others but it was definitely not meant to be. Regardless I'm happy knowing i've got people who got my back if I were to take a fall, some day

just cooked my one meal a day
either rice with chicken, or pasta with the pesto sauce. Meat with pasta is optional as it is more expensive but worth it. Apples and bananas if i get hungry. there's also this thing called fiskegrateng for 2 usd, fish with pasta, 50mins in the oven. a decent small meal
fixing these things definitely beats waging.

No.

Most people are able to fit in with others in an office environment and genuinely enjoy it. Then you get the likes of us who get our social interaction through 4chan because we're not socially acceptable / wanted by others.

Jesus Christ Anon, just go back to Japan. Go teach English in Korea or China or what ever. Fuck the debt. Get out and start fresh. What do you have to lose at this point? If you give up, that's on you, when you already know there's another life waiting for you.
