>tell me about that time you procrastinated on something>and kept on procrastinating for days, weeks, months, years...>totally fucked up your lifeYou are here, so I assume there are many such cases
i've been procrastinating doing anything about my extreme debt. in fact i add to it. i used to care but now i wonder if it's even a bad thing. not so much as even a phone call in years.
>>84785236As in restructuring or bankruptcy? Yeah I guess "extreme" for you is still a small fish, and you own nothing so they can't repo shit.
>be me>hmm i have 2 weeks before the final exam, it would be good to start studying everything even if i havent studied all term>oh but today im too tired... ill study later...>next day>still kinda tired. plus theres an interesting video my favorite vtuber just released, ill watch that instead>next day>wow i was so busy cleaning my room, ill study tomorrow...>next day>next day>next day...>wow, there is only three days before the exam. but not to worry, that is plenty of time to study everything...>everything...>in three days...?>that sounds kind of scary, maybe i will study...>later... HOLY SHIT THERES ONLY 8 HOURS LEFT>study as much as i can cram into my brain>go to exam>so sleep deprived that what im writing barely even makes sense to me>pretty sure i failed the exam>fuck man, i cant do that again next term>do it again next term>fuck man, i cant do that again next term>do it again next term>fuck man, i cant do that again next term>do it again next term>receive text from friend>"hey man, i just got my masters degree! and also i just got hired at a company thats giving me 90k! im so happy ^^">"hey thats great good for you">cry in bed
>>84785244okay, jigs up, it's no longer funny. where in my apartment have you put the camera?
>>84785286I'm actually just living in your walls silently judging you.
wanting to try to fix my life and stop being a shutin for... 5 years or that time i bought computer parts and didn't bother assembling them for an entire year...i wish i was dead
>>84785309Do you have any ideas for not being a shut-in?
>>84785330yeah and no, i've mostly fixed my agoraphobia but my life has no meaning and unless someone else arranges for a reason to go outside i'll just sit indoors and kill timebasically i've lost that spark that makes me a human
>>84785378I literally do the same thing. There were a few times in my life where I invited people out to do things, but I feel like none of them were really experiences that we really enjoyed... they were really awkward. Like bad dates, except they weren't dates. Now I'm just scared to invite people out because I'm always worrying about if my ideas will be received badly. I wish the few experiences I had were better so I could build more confidence to ask people out. So I end up only going out when other people invite me out.It's so weird... I had a friend where I asked her if she wanted to hang out with me some time, but I never made plans, and she ended up inviting me out instead.Literally had a girl tell me to ask her out and I just never did... for years. I guess that's something else I also procrastinated on LOL.It's just so terrifying.I still have my spark, at least.
I procrastinated getting contact lenses. I was referred for them in July 2021 and failed and I didn't retry until July 2025 (succeeded). I was able to reattain my license in October 2025. Between April 2021 and October 2025, I was driving without a license.
>>84785215Failed a bunch of subjects so many times that the original cohort I started my degree with is graduating this year, and I'm still stuck in my first year.
>>84786901Same, I hate the feeling of being reminded just that little bit extra how far behind I am on lifeThe most severe procrastination I've had that has fucked up my life the most is probably procrastinating getting assessed for autism. My parents had been pushing for one since I was really young but I always despised doing anything my parents told me to. It indirectly lead to an absolutely hellish schooling experience. At least if I was diagnosed I could understand what's wrong with me I wouldn't have blamed myself specifically so much for all of my issues.
>>84785215I procrastinated posting in this thread. So there's that.But back in college, I got in the habit of never working on my term papers until the night before. You know, the ones you were supposed to spend all semester writing.I actually got good grades on them, so it just kept fueling my arrogance for 4 years. That then morphed into procrastinating on applying for internships, then jobs, and now here I am a NEET.
>>84788130procrastinating on getting a job? honestly your issue may be different bro, maybe your burnt out and not accepting it?
>>84788325well that's also probably true. I procrastinated getting a job straight outta school, but lucked into one (family). It was soul-sucking and life draining. when it went away, I kept putting off actually searching for a new one. Thus, now a NEET for an uncomfortable amount of years
>>84785215Over the past 16 years I've learned to computer program, draw and 3D texture, 3d model, rig and animate, play instruments, record/mix music, and design all with the idea that I'd create my dream game but I've yet to do it because I always second guess myself and jump from project to project. Now I know a shit ton of bullshit that is practically useless in the real world job market. I definitely procrastinate but it doesn't really feel like it, I fee I'm constantly working on SOMETHING but it just never goes anywhere.
>>84788713Your anxious energy perhaps is just a coping mechanism to never face the actual truth? Just be. Perhaps the desire itself is fake, and the energy you put towards working on something is just a "leak" to keep you distracted.If you step back and just refuse to engage your energy with "working on something" or desiring to make the game, you may just be left with a black hole of anxiety. What to do then, I don't know. But at least you will know whether what your working on is out of passion or just a cope, at least for now.
