Hey /lit/, I'm an irresponsible 20-year-old and my son has just been born.

Can I get any /lit/ recommendations for how should I cope without the feeling of my life ending before it even started? I was introvertic as fuck as a kid and never had friends, never partied at all. And now it's sure that I will never do. I will never have a fulfilling job because no uni education and I will forever be stuck in some entry-level bullshit until the end of my life just to pay our bills. If it's going to be enough.

So, any recommendations? Sorry for bad English, not a native.

Time to grow up real fast, you can do it Anon. My cousin had his son when he was fucking 16 years old, and he was a dumb weed smoking retard and turned into a mature adult by the time he was 18.

It's time to go looking for jobs that aren't dead end and train you on the job. They still exist, you just have to look. Then you will be working somewhere you can actually move up ranks in a few years.

Just take care of your kid. A kid needs a good dad no matter what.

so what? i'm jealous of the OP.

reading a bunch of shit for years hasn't made my life as fulfilling as knowing that someone wanted to procreate with me and did so.

of course fatherhood isn't easy but at least it's something worth protecting. OP has an incentive to improve his life now because of the added responsibility. reading has never given me that feeling.

Don't worry about missing out on 'the partying scene' anon. it's a lifestyle ideal sold to you by corporations. i've lived it and if you drink the kool-aid it will only make you a miserable, infatantilized man-child. you have an opportunity here to sidestep a trap that the rest of us have fallen into. Being a responsible adult raising a child seems very scary but it will ultimately be the most deeply and profoundly satisfying thing you ever do. A very worthwhile trade for a few years of empty hedonism.

You would never do anyway. Stop measuring yourself by the stereotypical standards of shitty media you consume.

Maybe having a kid is a solid fucking reason to find out what you actually want and how you want it. Important decisions like that prevent you from fleeing hard questions.

The job stuff sucks but if you didn't go out of your way to enter parties beforehand you probably wouldn't have actually had a lot of fun even if someone threw you into one. The job stuff sucks though.

this, look for a job where you can move up and just because you have a job doesn't mean you wont have a life, go out on weekends and find out what you're interested in. You will have to grow up ten times faster than others in your age group yes but you should look at it as a blessing , this accidental crash course you have and live your dreams through your kid like every other obsessive parent.

You could probably do an apprenticeship. You'd have a shit wage for 2 years but maybe it'll be something more meaningful and eventually pay more than some supermarket or callcentre job.

I don't know what the apprenticeship schemes and job opportunities are like in your country though. Just remember that there's nothing demeaning about entry level bullshit jobs - at least you're working.

Start studying math and become a math tutor. Help out your with studying math son along the way

You'll eventually make more than you are now and or make the same but have more free time to focus on more studying.

It will also open other avenues depending on where you are and luck

If youre bad at computation and get bored, read math books and dont do the problems. Read it so that you understand it conceptually and roughly, then go back and do the computations

Good luck

That's... A long stretch. And I have always been bad at maths and much more interested in humanities. That's why I'm not in the programming field even though I "kinda" know how to program and have been doing it since middle school. But I have trouble learning new technologies and that's why nobody wants to hire me. And there are no internship programs around where I live.

Its kind of a song about how even though it seems like you life is going no where, you somehow end up right where you belong.

Being born in a small town, not having a lot of options, growing old, watching those young dreams fade away. Like sayin' "you're life ain't over, its just different than you thought it was going to be."

It sounds like you are more upset because of your economic and mental situation than anything else. You would probably be best with any popular self help book like pic related that convinces you to structure your daily routine to help you feel more in control of your life instead of feeling like it's over already. You are only 20 man people have turned their live's around way later than that. If you want somehing more old school I would reccomend Stoic literature like Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.

The Ego and Its Own. Although if things like "partying" and having a "fulfilling job" truly interest you you are as much of a normalfag as you sound, and there's very little that could penetrate your irreversibly congealed reason

Also, find something you're passionate about and like doing and devote your time to it intead of parties, video games and other distractions. With time you will become really fucking good at it, and that's one of the best feelings out there. You may even make a living out of it and that's pretty much the dream.
Also, marry her if you haven't already.
