26 here, soon to be 27 in a few months.

As long as you don't think about it too much, it's not a big deal. Actually, I guess that goes for a lot of things in life.

My blog:
At least I can pat myself on the back for getting a (worthless) college degree. It's not that I don't want to work; I just couldn't find a job after I graduated, despite applying to countless jobs. After that, I gave up, and here I am.

All in all, it's not as bad as you think. In my free time, I work on learning new skills, so it's not like I'm wasting my life away. I don't want to be married or have kids (seeing other people do it and turn out miserable has turned me off of the idea). And I've given up on ambition because I worked my ass off in school only to end up in this sad state, so why would working hard at McDonalds or some other place would actually amount to anything?

At least I can pat myself on the back that I got a (worthless) college degree.

Oldfag of the original 4chan.net.

You know what, I did the cool thing. I moved out, I got a job, paid rent and had a girlfriend.

I thought things were going well, until I lost my job because of the economy going to shit and now I had no savings because of those expenses along with student and car loans.

Ended up moving back in with my parents so I could use my rent money for paying my bills. My story actually made a couple of people cry here and realize their lives weren't so shitty in comparison.

A few years have passed. I got another job and I bought my own apartment which I am renting out because I need the income from their rent to pay the mortgage. As a result, still living with my parents so dating is out of the question.

Moving out is supposed to be a milestone for independence, but honestly all that time renting and dating and I have fucking nothing to show for those 5 years and now I'm pushing 30. You kids don't know how good you have it now.

yes you have a point, personally I think it gets better when you get older. but that's because I'm a responsible person.

one reason for why it's nice when you're young is that when you're in high school or college, all you got to do is get good grades and survive. After that though when you're older, most people don't know what the fuck to do. If you don't plan it out, you could get fucked. but if you're smart you'll be fine, it's great.

It depends on the person really. Some people find school really stressful.

"Dad, don't you think I'm a failure?"
"No, I think you're very very sick and we neglected you. We didn't give you the help you needed when you were growing up."
"But I feel like I have to give you something back to you in return. I'm a parasite."

>> No.9356772

25 years old, living with my parents now after I had to leave my cheap student flat because of (mandatory) military service last year. Have a useless bachelor's degree and have already completely forgotten everything that I might have learned during it so I'd pretty much have to start from scratch if I wanted to finish my degree and get a masters. Then again I've come to regard the whole degree as completely pointless so doubt I'll ever manage to finish it.

Can't get an apartment because a single unemployed male is absolutely on the bottom of the food chain, nobody wants to rent to you. Completely fed up with trying to find a job, it's been 6 months since I got out of the army and I've managed to land one single interview in all that time even though I've applied for more positions than pretty much during my entire life so far. Nobody wants an old ugly guy with almost no work experience (last time I had a job was when I was 19). Not that I blame them, if I was in their position I sure as hell wouldn't hire myself either.

Currently doing home renovation for my dad because he doesn't have the time to do it himself, but not like this counts as a job so it's just another blank time period on my (already very blank) CV. God knows what I should do around the end of August when it's time to decide whether or not to enroll into university for another term. My parents no doubt expect me to do it because I sure don't have the balls to tell them how bad a shape my studies are in.

Never saw that. I don't really even like most Adult Swim shows, but T&E is great mostly because of their timing. They remind me of Andy Kaufman.

It's more than awkwardness porn. It's thick, ironic humor reflective of the modern internet age. I'm surprised anyone on /jp/ would dislike it. If 4chan was a show, it would probably look something like T&E.

Also, an anonymous board is like the antidote to irony. There's no way to have an alternate interpretation because the words are removed from any context. They must answer for themselves without recourse to their author.

Irony only ever works in favor of the normals, because everything is a joke unless it agrees with the status quo.

Here, though, the author isn't just dead, he never existed.

It's campy in the way a horror movie is. Of course there is real irony in that show. Do you actually think they are that bad at producing and acting? It's not sarcasm because they aren't mocking the styles they emulate, but rather, they're playing around with it. There is no such thing as "real" irony. Something is either ironic, or it isn't. Even then, it doesn't mean it's good.

They make things that aren't supposed to be funny, funny. It's not so much the joke, it's the timing. You don't need to "get" anything, you just need to get into their groove.

usually it is the sex(incl. masturbation) thing that's holding people back, but they don't realise it.
it's holding them from becoming wizards(not joking)
sex consumes a lot of energy, which can be used for far more practical purposes.
for example: hightening your creativity, lucid dreaming, feeling great regardless of surroundings, prolonging your lifespan.
you aren't gonna throw fireballs, but transcend your being you totally can.

though, if you have the energy to spend, sex has various practical uses too.
but at that point, you will not really need it.

In spite of which I still get kind of mad when I see anons 1-2 years younger than me, and even 1-2 years older. I was here years ago too, before we had any right to be, but still knowing other people did the same is annoying. I wonder if anyone my age can relate? Please upvote my post if so.

About aging... it's a bit worrying for me but I hope that everyone here will age together. I think that in the future it will seem less ``unusual'' to be an older gentlemen to frequent the internet, even places like /jp/, since our generation has kind of grown up online, even lots of normalfags. For instance when I spent 16 hours online/day 8 years ago my family were concerned for my mental health, but now in 2012 my imouto does the same and no one cares because after all it's for Facebook etc. which is ``social''. Times change.

Definitely. I look up to him and I want to be like him. My dad's kindness is the only thing that has kept me alive since I left home. It's not just about the money either, I can't bear the thought of him dying.
My mother was much more to blame for the fact that I'm psychologically fucked, but he was often absent during my childhood so I think part of his willingness to let me leech off him is out of guilt.

But he is a really good person even if he failed at making sure a child grew up to be normal. Love him, can't say the same thing about my mother. Really sorry to hear about your own father, I hope you can escape your troubles someday.

I'm smart enough that I can pass my degree with about a weeks worth of work each year, and I don't care at all about the subject. I only took it to kill some time and get a free apartment thanks to the government while I'm studying, and when it's over I'm fucked. There's not one thing I can see myself doing for a living and being happy with.

The same old stories... seems /jp/ user base has stayed almost the same through all these years... just more shitposters came to shit up the board.

Well, I'm 23, and I would be a dentist in a couple of years if I hadn't dropped at 2nd year. I felt bad for having my parents spend so much money on a piece of shit like me and in the first place I just wanted to live up to their expectations.

Instead, next year I'll be working as a detective. It wasn't my choice, I didn't know what to do with my life, and the opportunity came and I couldn't refuse. My parents were going to kick me out if I did.

Good thing the career was a lot cheaper, shorter and easier (and military training stuff was great in the end). The income is not bad, but the problem is that the work itself is hardcore, risky, with long working times and I'm forced to appear to be something I'm not, and hide my hobbies like animu, and I don't care about people at all. I hate it, I fucking hate it, but it was my last chance.

No interests besides games and anime. I would try to get into one of those fields, but I can't draw and have next to no imagination. I was debating getting into a science-related field (I frequent sci just as often as many other boards) but unless I make up for all my past years of school with my senior year, I doubt I'll get into even a decent college.

Why though? Would you enjoy these other things more than the things that you're currently doing?

If so, then why aren't you doing them? In a time like this there really are no limits. Motivation is the only limit, but if you're not motivated to do something then do you actually want to do it and if you don't want to do it then why do you feel upset about not doing it?

Social anxiety prevents you from getting something that you want? Take drugs. Valium, klonopin, etc. Any of these sedatives will do the trick.

Depression? Anti-depressants.

Unable to enjoy anything? Stimulants will help with that.

They do though. There are certain pills that don't work for a lot of people (SSRIs) but there are certain drugs that will work for everyone. Look at an extreme example like cocaine or methamphetamine. These drugs will take the most depressed person in the world and turn them into a ray of sunshine and happiness within five minutes.

Those are some extreme examples, but legal pharmaceutical alternatives that are still quite potent exist and work very well for depression. For example, I take stimulants every morning and everything that I do feels so enjoyable, but in the past I could barely find the motivation to get out of bed.

Honestly, I think that stimulants are a bit like this. I only know about anxiety and depression since that's what I've been treated for, but I think the medications for these are essentially magic pills.

It's just not really possible to feel depressed when your mind is being flooded with dopamine and it's not really possible to feel anxious when you're so heavily sedated that you could walk down the street naked without feeling a hint of anxiety.

I've never seen one person who hasn't been instantly cured of their anxiety or depression by taking either a stimulant or a sedative. There's a reason why so many people abuse these drugs and buy as much as they can from drug dealers. They just work.

Freud was wrong about a lot of things, but his love for cocaine was pretty much spot on. Stimulants really are the wonder drug.

Stimulants are for the depression, but the sedatives are for the anxiety. You mix them together for the perfect combination.

I've been prescribed a mix of amphetamines and benzos for about three years now, I've taken the same dose every day and it just works. They work amazingly together. The anxiety is eliminated by the sedatives and any depression or lethargy that you may feel is eliminated by the stimulants.

My depression was to the degree that I couldn't get out of bed and my anxiety was so bad that I couldn't leave the house. Both fixed within 10-20 minutes of taking the pills.

You still get plenty of motivation at therapeutic dosages though. When I was first experimenting with different dosages I actually found that the higher doses were worse.

Sure, you definitely get high, but the comedown is terrible and the high always caused me to just get hyperfocused on stupid shit like cleaning the house for hours or dancing around like a retard. I never really did anything that would have been enjoyable under normal circumstances.

Low doses have no comedown or tolerance build-up and they still give you enough motivation to enjoy things and stay focused. You just don't spend six hours dancing euphorically in front of a mirror while listening to shitty techno music.

21, unemployed, dropped out of high school and community college because I hated being around others, currently living with my mom and stepdad. Not a virgin although I haven't had sex since 2007, and my second of two relationships ended two years ago (Honestly, I kind of wish that I was never involved with either of them). I've been avoiding everyone in my life, including my friends and most of my family for a while now.

I excessively and uncontrollably twitch around people, and I have mild tremors in my limbs. This causes me to be incredibly anxious in any given social situation.

I've only had one job flipping burgers. I was fired for not showing up on a day that I requested off a week in advance (to go to a meeting with my lawyers because I potentially had a lawsuit on my hands over a car accident). The managers probably just wanted to get rid of me because I didn't communicate well with my coworkers, and my nervous shaking habit caused me to be clumsy and mess things up.

So, I just sit on my pc all day, playing games, watching anime and posting on 4chan. Nobody ever calls me/wants to hang out with me and as a result, I've grown accustomed to my solitude and privacy.
