I'm starting a phd soon but I can't help feel that it's just an attempt to avoid getting a real job. Even looking at careers in academia it all seems soo off putting. I really don't want to be a wage bros. What do?

I went for a walk this morning and, when I was walking through the town centre, I started laughing because of a funny thought. I imagine I looked pretty deranged.

same here brother. I can't work a regular job. I've tried for many years and I'm temperamentally unable to. It makes me miserable and I want to kill myself. The only things I remotely can stand and am good at are researching and teaching and I'm not going to go to school for another bunch of years to end up baby sitting middle schoolers. So academia feels like the only option, even with as fraught as it is. I know that'll probably make me miserable as well but I think it is the best out of a lot of bad options.

At least in my country you get paid to do your PhD - not much, but it means I won't incur any debt.

Have you read Stoner? There is a quote early on in that where one of them describes universities as asylums for people who can't function in the real world. It feels very apt.

I feel like a pile of shit on two legs. I have no friends, I am extremely lonely, I have things to do that I put off constantly. I cant keep my hands off my dick. I cant keep promises to myself, I am controlled by my urges. I will go out in a couple of hours to take a walk and when it is finished I will feel like killing myself, because there are so many cute girls around here. I feel like I am developing a sigma machiavellian no emotion jaded personality as a cope reaction to all of this. My head hurt when I woke up today, its hot right now and my sweat smells.

I got meme'd that academia was a meme and thought about getting into some meme and meme journals with bullshit articles. Now, I'm fucked, because I'm a white dead male. I picked the wrong field to meme, it is over for me, anons.

Introversion isn't necessarily issue if you've worked on your social skills. If you're decent looking, you only need average communication proficiency to bang average girls. If you're naturally shy AND complete amateur in the dating game, I don't think you can do much but start the tutorial now, most have done it by the time they leave high school though.

yeah regular jobs really seem unbearable day in day out for years I really don't know how people do it. Academia seems to just be the least worst of the lot desu. What field are you thinking of doing your phd in? For me its international policy so if I can't get a decent place in academia I'm thinking at least I can get a semi interesting job at a think tank or with the government.

My mind keeps reminding me of one episode that I technically barely remember where I may have come off as a creep due to misunderstandings, and details keep popping up to confirm this narrative. Shit was like 12 years ago if it happened so I don't know why my brain decided to torture me with it. This kind of intrusive thing happens more and more frequently and it's horrendous. I cannot live every waking moment of my life in shame like this.
