Teenagehood is an essential phase for someone's psychological development. If you miss out on these experiences which shape your personality and give you a early taste of what reality feels like, if you're unable to fit in your high school community, you will barely manage to make your way through real life. People will treat you with indifference at best, and with contempt at worst, nobody will ever bother to find good qualities within you because to their eyes you will be an empty husk devoid of character, and the lack of social interaction will at last turn you in an emotionally stunted adult with no hope of redemption in life.

You can already observe the difference between you and normal people in your early teenage years, everything from making friends to hitting on girls comes easy to them, you're basically witnessing them coasting carelessly through life, then your friends (if you at least befriended someone) will start attending the parties in which you shamelessly sit in a corner hoping to get another tedious social event behind you, they will subsequently engage in conversations with the members of a different social sphere, find a partner to live with, and in the end they will leave you to rot like shit stuck on the street.

Then you will realize you never had any hopes from the beginning and that your petty social life was a miserable farce that was destined to end in a heart-rending tragedy. At that point your existence becomes a dreary nightmare from which you seek to hopelessly escape, you will constantly try to distract yourself with books, music, and attempt to fill the void with countless hours of vapid shitposting on imageboards, only to let your heart be shattered over and over as you break out of your simulation and face the drab vacuum which represents your social life and experiences.

Turns out life is like a race where if you fail to run as soon as you come in touch with people, you're never gonna catch up with the other kids no matter how hard you'll try to keep your head above water.

pretty cool berserk picture, i was genuinely just thinking about some philosophy from berserk earlier, particularly pic related and the "anger is a place man goes to when he can't stand suffering" speech from godo.
it's crazy how many times i refute my mental acceptance of giving up the struggle of life by just thinking about guts' struggle throughout his problems which are way worse than mine.

Only brainlets think this. Lost children is on par with the golden age.
