I understand that it's somewhat irrational and still steeped in an adolescent spirit, but i just carried a lot of regrets over the last three years because of a severe lack of assertion and discipline. I knowingly signed up for something i hated in university while bullshitting to my family that i had it under control, spent years failing, then dropped out this september. I had an immense amount of free time where I could have done anything that i'd ever want, but again, I chose to just wallow in self-delusion and consumption until time slipped by my filthy hands. I learned little, both in practical and theoretical realms, not even attempted to make the projects that have been haunting my thoughts/dreams since prepubescence. So many things gone to waste over nothing, and now I have to work doubly hard to make up for it. Stagnation is lethal. It's my responsibility to maintain a healthy vigor for example, and its nowhere to be seen.
The worst part is the sheer disappointment in the faces of those who have supported me, genuinely believing that i can live up to my capabilities instead of succumbing to sloth and other forms of cowardice. Their tired, sad eyes kill me. Not to mention their justifiably voiced frustrations with my constant failures. Self-induced humiliation. And yet, i'm still here, not knowing what to do. Lotta lofty dreams for zero skills. I've read that a machinist is good for a placeholder job, is that something you'd recommend?
I understand that it's a privilege that is scarcely presented to human beings in general to have so much free time and (relative) freedom to make something out of yourself, and it terrifies me to think that ive missed that window forever, the opportunity to give back to this world's kindness. Plus, there's the analogy of the bent tree. If it's allowed to grow that way, it can never be straightened without being broken. I don't know if getting used to being a lazy piece of shit for so long has created a subconscious ceiling that i'll never be able to break. That's i have a morbid curiosity with the 30+ year old people who are the epitome of oblivious dull mediocrity. I don't know, i'm probably stuck too far up my own ass.
Sorry for the blogpost and the annoyance. Thank you nonetheless.

>How you're holding up
I'm struggling. I'm still an undergrad, partially because of mental health issues and partially because I wanted to learn more languages. I want to be a scholar without becoming a professor, so grad school has not been a high priority until recently. I have run into conflict with some of my classmates who are all midwits, of course, even though I've done nothing unreasonable, even according to the instructor. After I get home from class, I'm completely exhausted and find it incredibly difficult to do anything but just sit. My mental and physical health are not great. My dad has cancer and will be getting a stem cell transplant soon. He is doing very well, but it is still stressful. He also us doing a lot of traveling to be in a clinical trial. Since September, I've been looking forward to Thanksgiving, and it is finally here. I don't think I will have enough time to rejuvenate, but I will have to make it enough. So far, I've been doing well, considering the circumstances.

Very badly. I desperately want to connect with others and have a girlfriend, but each time I do the moment I know the girl likes me I go completely cold on them, I feel lethargic, I lose my libido, I can only see the worst in them, they seem dumb and vapid, I take issue with everything they do and say, and I just want to escape. Despite previously liking them a lot, and it always starts off so well. And the moment I cut things off with them I feel insane panic and intense regret (and always almost instantaneously like the girl and see everything good about her again) and I immediately try to jump into another relationship (or try to revive it with the girl). It's happened 4 times this year. It's just getting tiring, I just want to be able to love a girl normally. I'm becoming quite distressed over it. Before 2021 I had just isolated myself and was content being alone.

Hey, anon. This >>19418825 is me. I used to be in the same boat as you for a semester at 19. While my life isn't perfect and I still contemplate suicide, I am closer to making something of my life. You're on this board, you're reflecting on your life, you're reading books. That's not so bad. I don't know the details of your situation. You might not make it. I could end up killing myself this summer or in a couple of years. That really is quite possible for me. One thing that has helped me live better is self-acceptance. If we don't make it, it's not so bad, and if we do succeed, that isn't entirely worthless either. Do whatever you want to do, if that means ending it all or building a great monument. You can do anything. Even presidents have been killed, and for one of them, his killers got away with it.

I dislike my major (computer science) and am once again in danger of failing. I want to switch, but I honestly don't know what else I'd study. I'm doing online classes because commuting is a pain in the ass without a car or license and have not made any friends as a result.

[Anonymous No.19419057]

I'm 21. What started it this year is a girl showed interest in me and pursued me, and she started the chain of finding girls, being with them until they liked me, and then pushing them away.
What I've realized recently is that this relationship pattern has manifested basically in all my friendships as well. When i was in highschool I remembering always feeling extremely uncomfortable if anyone liked me a lot and told me so. And just never allowing a friendship to go beyond a certain level. And I ghosted everyone after highschool.
So I don't know of any specific event, I've just always been like this but It's been so taxing now that that girl pursued me and after the stint of self imposed isolation I experienced what it was like to have affection and someone validate my existence (and I guess I was suppressing my desire for that so hard) to then go through the throes of going hot and cold on them.
I've only just become conscious of this pattern so I'm not going to try and find another girl because no matter what she is like I will go cold on her the moment I know she likes me or I feel like it will develop into something serious.

23. I'm a consultant for a tech company. I don't really have favourites. The Gay science or War and Peace if I had to say. As for songs, I'd say it's Пeчaль (sadness) by Russian band Kino. Currently I'm reading Steppenwolf. I'm doing OK I suppose. Could be worse.

Song of Achilles is one of the worst, trashiest books I’ve ever read in my life. The prose is embarrassingly bad. Miller essentially wrote a shitty YA fanfic of the Iliad, glossing over any meaningful representation of violence and heroic masculinity, and replacing it with cringeworthy romanticized cave sex scenes. If you actually like that book, you need fuck off to TikTok where you belong.

Starting to act more in accordance with my "will", actually working and following through with projects. It feels very good to get stuff done, but somehow my feelings regarding the outward aspects of my life are much worse than when I felt personally worthless.

You got plenty of time, just start taking steps toward what you need to do to succeed. Don't listen to the people who say "You're [x] years old, blah blah." The people who focus on that kind of thing are usually full of shit.
