>Jung said one doesn't start living until they're 40 years of age. What do you think?
I haven't met anyone in real life who would agree on that statement at all. Don't waste your teenage years and your 20s if possible. That is easier said than done, especially without a proper mentor or friend that wants to take the same path. Otherwise you will probably have to deal with the cards that you have been given, your family, nation, environment, looks, genes, etc. Mainstream media is probably going to affect you negatively as well, at least by influencing the people around you.
I had a few bad cards and a few excellent ones and I did not know how to play them, there was little help for me. Right now at the age of 29 the results are mixed and I do have regrets while I take the successes for granted or perceive them as far less relevant. There is one thing I realised: You will need a lot of skills and good traits in order to be successful in your 20s and in your life in general.

>The most important piece of advice you can get is how precious time is, and how your sense of time changes over your 20s. From 18-27 you basically feel like time is infinite and years somehow last ten years. So you keep putting stuff off until you can do it right, assuming it'll be one of the things you do in your late 20s. Then you're 30 and you didn't do any of it.
True, I experienced it that way as well. However having a 'non-negotiable' list and achieving more of my goals back then would not have been a guarantee for later satisfaction, since some goals or desires have changed, such as having a waifu - it wasn't on my list in my early 20s. Plus->

>people are not pursuing these stuff because in their life situation they cant do it in first place, the possibility of doing so is not there, or because they realize that they have to relearn things that they were teached and took for granted, but that in their new reality are no like that.
Spot on anon.

Seems I gravely misremembered. Looking through the archives at some of the /wwoym/ threads from 2017-2019 and it's still mostly the same shit, except there are a few posters actually talking about philosophy and books and how to improve one's writing, unlike the current threads where there's almost none of that aside from a few stray posts, it's almost entirely just faggy bitching.

/wwoym/ was never good. I don't see why anons can't just go to one of the other boards more suited for what they want to whine about. A lightning rod still attracts lightning to the house, and /r9k/ and /adv/ should be the lightning rods since /lit/ shouldn't be struck with these kinds of posters.
