I get depressed because im 30+ now and my best days are behind me. I miss playing Halo 3 and Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox 360 back in the day. I miss being a kid with no anxiety about the future. Now im old and I have no friends and I dont really get zoomer socialization, it seems so passive-aggressive and narcissistic to me. People dont feel genuine anymore. Its hard to put it into words but people just act a lot colder now, more self centered. Maybe its just me who feels this way.
>>82938323heh what a loser(I'm the same but I am in my late 20s)
>>82938323>dont really get zoomer socialization, it seems so passive-aggressive and narcissistic to me.Thats not zoomer socialization thats just how it is in urban areas. Have you noticed how rural folk appear to be naive as fuck to us?
>>82938392Do you feel this way too anon?It feels nice to not be totally alone
>>82938400I dont really live in an urban area, I live in a more suburban area but I sorta get what you mean. Im very naive myself.
>>82938402yeah, especially since the few acquaintances and relatives I have around my age are getting married and settling down while I am still a khv. I am perpetually in a state of low anxiety because i am constantly reminded of how behind I am in life. I couldn't even play games for longer than an hour or two now without feeling like I am wasting what's left of my 20s away
>>82938441well for what its worth as long as you enjoy it then I dont think its a waste anon. Life isnt wasted, its spent, as long as you spend it doing what makes you happy. You seem cool, I wish we could play games together, I am a filthy consolepeasant tho
>>82938323The world is definitely getting more and more enshittified, OP. It's not rose-tinted goggles of nostalgia, everything is markedly worse than just 6 years ago, let alone 16. Every generation from here on out is just going to be born into an exponentially worse world based on current trends.
I understand you anon I miss the old world a lot. I'm 33.
>>82938323>d Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox 360 back in the dayI miss this period because I actually had a full friends list and was constantly interacting with other humans. People wanted to hang out with me then :/Also, this is the Mandela effect for me.
>>82938668oops, I left out my image. I don't remember this on the Intervention.
>>82938630But why is it getting worse? Shouldnt the future get better? Instead I always want to retreat to the past where I can find comfort.>>82938646very cute pic>>82938668I have played recently but its not the same theres only about 200 people playing anymore, still fun though!
>>82938323I feel this too and I'm 32. We need to find a way to all congregate into one space online so the concentration of people like us goes up and we can try and re-live the old days. I want to play old video games with other people like us but the internet feels so barren now. I don't even know where everyone is.
>>82938732Theres just not that much interest in old games like that anon. You can play them on Xbox, I still do from time to time but you get your few matches in and then thats about all there is to do. Its not like the whole worlds playing anymore, there used to be a several hundred thousand active players on these old CoDs and Halo 3 too, now theres about 250 at any given time just depending on which one you're playing and the day of the week. I bounce between a lot of these CoDs cause sometimes theres annoying hacker fags (especially on MW2 and BO2)
>>82938323I feel you anon. I lost interest in everything after having been psycholigically abused and exploited by a woman back in March, and the recent fight between me and my brother made me permanently sever the connection between me and my family. After searching for answers as to why I'm having such a hard time trying to reconnect with the people of the world, and why I've lost interest in everything, I found out that it's not because I'm depressed, or mentally ill, or that I'm a negative person in general. It's a spiritual change happening within me that's dissolving what no longer resonates with me, almost like the story is coming to a close, and a new one is about to begin. This video strongly resonated with me:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOdGjMlMH6cI used to be interested in porn, but now it's disgusting and unnatural to me, and thus I'm trying to practice semen retention more often. Even if I had a girlfriend, I don't want to see her nudes at all, and I don't want to take pics of myself and share them with her either. Currently I just make random things in GIMP and Shotcut to pass the time, because there's nothing else I feel like doing. This is a slideshow video I made showcasing the stuff I own, and there's more things I own that I didn't add to the video because I just don't care enough to do so:https://files.catbox.moe/01ogdx.mp4Just remember, you and many others are not alone in all of this, even when you feel like you are. I miss the old things too, but I know that I can't hold onto the past forever. I have to finish the current story, I have to let go of the things that no longer resonate with me in order to begin a new story.
>>82938668>I miss this period because I actually had a full friends list and was constantly interacting with other humans. People wanted to hang out with me then :/Its so overpowering to think of those moments in time that were like gold, all of those random people being in the same game at the same time around roughly the same ages, there's nothing like that time in your life. It sucks cause when you're 15 you wake up and every day is the same but then suddenly it's all over.
>>82938406Look for online friends who truly want to commit to being friends and maybe even travel to each other and host?But now you will tell me how you're super kentally ill and have anxiety and all the bs excuses on the face of the planet.I've wanted to make online friends for over a decade, they all turn out to be not ready for any kind of friendship, not to mention relationship.Or we just plainly don't vibe.Such is life.The older you grow, the least you'll vibe with others as well. Not because your preferences change, but because you're less likely to compromise. Because you know that fundamental compromise is not sustainable.
>>82938323How 30+ are you?38 here, I started living much more dangerously in the past couple years because I don't see old age as something with much promise for someone like me who really has no one.
>>82938963Dude im not meeting up with someone I dont know off 4chan to play old Call of Duty. I would play with you online but thats the extent of things. I have an Xbox Series X and you can add me if you want, I play World at War, MW2, Black Ops 1 and 2 and Infinite Warfare
>>82939020I just turned 30, but I use 30+ because Im paranoid of giving out too much information on here. I always feel like someones watching my posting history.
>>82938963If you really want to play old CoD then you better have an Xbox Series X. Im a console peasant. you can add my discord and ill give you my Xbox name from thereshrinemaidenrei
