Be born into a family with a lot of capital, or you could win the lottery i guess

>he's not a NEET

not gonna make it

No. It's not.

Being on welfare is better than both though.

All the benefits of jail with none of the cons.

Is kanye right? Do the creators on /lit/ face the same issues?

>go in to city centre
>go to city's library
>mainly old people
>all employees are bored to death city council employees
>most books are shit
>feels dead
>leave and go to the bus stop
>hot and sunny day
>see 16 - 18 year olds walking home from the school in the city centre
>it's a private school so the jailbait / teenbait is baitier, the male students are taller
>have their whole lives ahead of them

How do I reconcile the deadness and solitariness of books with the fact that I'm 22 and it feels inappropriate to not be living it up? How do I get over the fact that I did engineering at university which I hated and i'll never achieve anything on the intellectual level?

How do I function irl when the /lit/izen pseudo-intellectuals are my kindred spirits and I had zero friends all through uni and zero friends now? I'm not even insecure irl any more, which is the lollable part of my social development. Instead of lurching in to social ineptness, I see people on the street as faceless abstractions and don't feel intimidated (i.e. I don't care when I see a hot girl my age, I just note that she's someone with a life on easy mode and stop thinking; I don't look at old people and wonder what it's like to be old).

It seems like the cool, special people get the hard work done in their youths (12 - 22) and then spend the rest of their days being special and happy.
