What is the point of living past 35 if you don't have a partner or children and you're sure you're never going to? I mean I don't really even have friends but that's the path I'm currently heading in with time and I don't know why even continue past that age. Why would I do anything if it's all just to sustain my own survival completely alone?
>>84298921Just hanging on instinct of self preservation.
>>84298921There are still games I want to play, anime to watch, and all the jerking off I can handle.But let me guess, you need more?
>>84298921well most people are dead broke until 35-40. Depending on slow career trajectory until then or when their parents die and inherit their shit. Maybe once you get a cash infusion you can look around for more meaning in life
>>84298942I haven't found enjoyment in anime in maybe six years and vidya feels empty and boring without anyone to play with. Jerking off just makes me feel worse afterwards.>>84298946So buying more things is your answer? I don't think slaving away for more money is worth it compared to just NEETmaxxing and living on government gibs.
>>84298981not necessarily buying things, maybe travel
>>84298992Traveling is nice but what's the point when you have no one to experience your journeys with?
>>84299005I would travel with you anon. (No Homo)
>>84298921wish i had an answer anon.ones given in this thread have already been debunked.me personally i hope to be able to find peace in creating things/art but i'm nowhere near it and aren't making progress toward it so that's just a meme for me at this point
Humans are born without a specific goal, you're a rational being so it means you can seek for a life goal for yourself if a family or a partner didn't happen for whatever reason
>>84299123Every living thing is born with the goal of reproduction. That is the meaning of life. Without reproduction or hope of reproduction you can only find an ounce of happiness in hedonism and that will not last long.
I'm in this position now. Single, about to buy a small apartment alone, unfulfilling low-paid job working with zoomer normies. Went travelling alone this year for the first time, had three girls express interest in me which made me feel confident and enthusiastic until I arrived home and went back to my shitty hermit routine. A lot of days recently I've been thinking about when I'll end it. Maybe around 40. Whatever looks I had were fading. I had some great chances earlier in life to meet a girl, maybe develop friendships, etc, but I was too cowardly and afraid. I had a well-paying WFH job but torpedoed it due to stress and a coworker fucking with me constantly. Almost came close to ending things then, but didn't. I don't know if love will solve my problems. I had one gf a couple of years ago, a single mom on a temporary visa in my country, but she wanted/needed marriage and for me to buy us a house quickly, and didn't seem to appreciate how much pressure that placed on me, especially when she didn't save any money and seemed to expect me to solve everything. I would like a gentle, loving oddball qf but I don't think it'll happen now. A few decades of watching movies, listening to music, travelling a little, spending time alone, I don't know it doesn't seem worth it. I was a hyper nice guy in my teens and 20s, the kind that people assumed (rightly) was naive, innocent, boring, weak-willed, overly polite, and only now am I being more assertive and carefree, but it feels like it's for nothing.
>>84298921I cannot imagine a sadder fate than defining my self worth based on whores that don't care about me. There is in fact more to life anon, even if you don't believe it.
>>84299361I don't care that much about women. I just want children.
>>84299140Even with reproduction, the lasting happiness you describe is metaphorical - it does not exist for you, but for your offspring. That's fine, I respect wanting that, but you will still die. Your happiness is always finite.
>>84299373>you will still die. Your happiness is always finite.Okay?
>>84299391I'd spell it out but I think the point would still go over your head
>>84298921I still have tasty food to eat and anime titties to fap to
>>84299361This. It's internalized gynocentrismAlso natalism fundamentalism is cringe and morally wrong. If you're suffering so much and don't even have it figured out for yourself why do you want to bring more life into the world? Just to suffer or to momentarily alleviate your pain? such a retarded, normified way to see life.
>>84299140Not really, is the most traditional form of finding meaning, but it's not lasting happiness because that is not a thing, and it's also narrow and silly, specially if you contrast it to the whole ideas of bringing a kid that you can provide a good life for, so on and so forth.Use that brain and find another path
