I get told I think like a 70 year old man and like I think like a 16 year old depending who I talk to and about what. It just means you’re not following a basic mold of how to act.

29 here. You have no idea how much time you have. I have too. But you have more. Use it to do whatever. Just don't have regrets. Regrets are a result of choice. Choose what you feel vibrates with you the most, in the sense of making you feel as if flowing, not as a rock.

Do some courses, enroll in a passion project or take a arts college degree or math or religion. Do first before doubing. No, read that again: DO FIRST WHAT YOU FEEL AS LONG AS ITs POSITIVE FOR YOU, THEN THINK. After doing this some time you will have learned enough and will know what you need and what you do not.

No book will be able to tell you directly what you already know: That the ditch you and I and most others are is a result of bad choices stacked with bad attitudes.

I say fuck it. You did a lot of stupid shit when you were little but you could not judge yourself for it. You just lived in that time, having the vague feel of the time ahead never ending. So just do that again; set ahead of yourself some imaginary barrier as a field from now until "then". In that field you will find again joy, hapiness and pursuits which feed your soul.

It doesn't matter that it feels artificial at first. You don't start working out or learning a new alphabet with the pretence of it being the full experience.

Forgive yourself, everybody does mistakes. Just keep for your well-being and everything will open up. Common, do it. Stop lingering. The grave can wait

so what exactly does being "mentally" 40 feel like

>> No.17068428

I guess what OP meant is either he's stuck in an un-shakeable frame/ self-identify (like old people) or he believes his frame concerning risk and wealth management is what separates the youth from the the old or mentally 'old'.

not a book but I'll tell you something I've read on the 'chan.
You feel old because you feel old being the person you are: for example I too feel old as a 26 yo but that's because I'm living as a teenager for a while and I want to change both working and relationship, that's the only way to feel "young" again. For example If I'd have a family I would feel like a young 26 yo dad not like a 26 yo man child that I am.
I know I explained it like shit but I hope you'll get the meaning of it.
