Only redeeming qualities:
> mildly handsome , girls who do give IOIs kinda give me an honest shot. (This is a recent development)
> Very fit and highly conditioned (not that anyone has seen me shirtless or be an athlete in some meaningful competition, I'm just a good std deviation above normie fatties)
> some may argue I'm very empathetic and ready to listen to whoever gives me their time (to others this could be seen as an easy mark)

The bad:
> flunked out of uni the first (but I'm going back right now and things are coming together, only get As and B's but basically too little too late and I'm just killing time really - my funding will be zero in the coming 1-2 years if I can't find work)
> work - been unemployed for over a year and cannot find a part time job to save my life anymore (I live a globalist sellout country) and I'm either too overqualified due to my past job and high brow for some , or underqualified / walking red flag for others due to the gaps. I've tried every variation and adjustment in removing and adding , nothing gives. I feel unemployable now.
> have a special needs brother that my parents basically shuffled onto me as a responsibility that basically any future partner would have to sign on for (narcissists run like that)
> have religious helicopter parents that stunted my growth at pretty much every level growing up leaving me a shell with no deep confidence only shallow surface level customer service , I really cannot overstate how badly they fucked my shit up.
> I try to take accountability and move past them , can't cause I can't afford to move out and really be free from their influence. I try to make a healthy dinner , they laugh and even throw my healthy ingredients out like "oh silly anon you don't need this shit" , I'm only lean purely through fruits , eating less, and training hella hard.

You can roam. What's stopping you? Family? Faith? They're supposed to be strong enough to stand during tough times. Sorry that whatever you and your family believe in is based in dependence. That however, doesn't have to be the excuse you use to chain yourself down. That and your impossibly high standard of living. If you're afraid of being homeless if you leave you have growing up to do.

I completed a Bachelor's in Healthcare Administration but couldn't find a job. I'm currently working as a Medical Assistant instead.

Should I go for a Master's in healthcare admin to get a job easier? Is it even worth it, or should I try to continue looking and hope I eventually find one?

Getting my Bachelor's was awful and I wanted to rip my hair out, so I would rather not do a Master's. But right now it seems like the easiest way to get a job.

3. What degree can I get that it requires the least amount of socialising?

4. How can I get it without having to talk to younger people since I am old and hate them. Preferably getting the degree online?

People calling you a BPD tard aren't misogynist, since they're calling you specifically a BPD tard.
>1. Do I need a degree to get a degree educated husband since I don't think they date minimum wage women?
You need to be nice to him and supportive of him. You also need to be attractive and to enjoy intimacy with him.
A degree is of low (but not 0) importance.
>they see you as not ambitious and retarded
That isn't because you're uneducated.

realistically how to make life better. It isn’t really a money problem but life is becoming unbearable here. i’ve been thinking of moving to the US and starting over but i know i probably won’t and life here keeps getting more depressing i just don’t know how long i can take it.
>>
even if you moved to the US you wouldn't be able to live the tik tok fantasies you dream about. no offense it's just a fact. you need to accept your life for what it is and that everybody can point to someone else and say "i wish i had their life". my advice is to quit fantasizing about the impossible and strive toward making your life better in realistic ways. if you do move to the US i would say start smoking weed and enjoying outdoor activities, like hiking, camping, paddleboarding, golf, skiing etc...
>>
Unless you have family in the US it's very difficult to immigrate legally, even with an engineering degree. Though it's not impossible and you could potentially do it if you really want. But as the above anon said, your life won't be like those tiktoks, that's just a fantasy. America is just a country like any other. Compared to the middle east there are better work opportunities, and you're never going to be sent to jail for criticizing the government or changing religions, but life won't suddenly be perfect.

It's over as soon as you turn 18 and leave the school system without a well established social circle. You go to work, but you won't make any friends, just coworkers. You join a sports club, same deal. It's over, because everyone already has their social circles locked in since childhood. You'll be nothing more than a coworker, destined to be alone for life. Social life and relationships are like trains you have to catch at the quay, a race against time that takes place during adolescence. And by extension, logically of course, no social life and no women.
But normies don't understand this because they are clueless normies who think you can walk into a bar full of strangers and magically form a social life like in The Sims. Only women can start from scratch and create a social life and get a boyfriend from scratch because of their status as women.

Whether you're 30 or not it doesn't change anything, maybe for the normies, but for you and me Chud, a year is like any other, the sands of time flowing towards nothingness, nothing less.. nothing more.

For years I couldn't do anything and still can't do anything beside my job, two activities, basic biological needs and things other people (including my parents) tell me to do, and even in those things I'm slacking and being slow with various intensity. It's all because I keep overthinking stuff, trying to rationalise the reasons of why I should or (mostly) shouldn't do a thing, second-guessing and trying to predict the outcome without doing anything. Because of this I never had and still don't have any real dreams, desires, passions, goals or plans for my life. It even affects the most easiest forms of my own entertainment: for now only from Youtube I get new things to watch, otherwise I'm just reading/listening to/watching/playing the same stuff over and over again, rarely and slowly contacting new things.
What can I even do with this on my own? Should I seek for external professional help for this?

How evil is it for me to abandon my girlfriend/wife for a younger one just because she has gotten older?
>>
>>32339650
Yes.
>>
>>32339650
I wouldn't call it evil just a little shallow and childish, in my opinion. If the primary quality you're looking for in a life partner is youth then you're not really interested in a meaningful, intimate and emotionally fulfilling relationship. You just want something hot to fuck. I guess that's okay if that's the way you want to live but you should be open about that with whoever you pursue. The only way your preference would be truly immoral is if you trick women into hooking up with you by making them think you want something deeper when you actually only value their looks and age.

I want to leave my wife for a younger girl I work with. This younger girl seems into me, we talk daily, flirt, held hands when we were drunk, her work friends make comments that seem like she is interested in me and she compliments me often. Even if it doesn't work out I'd be free from the ball and chain of my wife who doesn't even seem to support me anymore. I'm 30 and this girl is 26 so the age gap isn't even huge.

I exist in a self-imposed malaise.

I have two art jobs that don't pay a lot but it's all I'm really good at. Basically the only way to make my bills is to work all the time, but it's unsteady. Extremely seasonal workflow. My boss on one of the jobs recently fucked up a gig we were supposed to work that would have gotten me enough money to be comfortable for the month, so now that's gone. The other job is obnoxious corporate work that pays low but more steadily.

I have several projects I've started and not completed (got a fantasy novel at 40,000 words, several prototype RPGs that I've done a lot of art and writing for). I've got tons of art that I'm pleased with, but it's piling up.

Have had a GF for 2.5 years. She lives like 2 hours away at college, so I visit every other weekend. Her parents are getting divorced and she's going to move several states away with her mother by the summer. She's in college and her mom's a fucking loser who can't hold down normal work, even with like 2 grand monthly alimony, so it's not like she'd be hard up for cash. We're basically on a countdown to the breakup, because I don't think we're gonna succeed as a long distance couple. GF also clearly doesn't believe in my ability to be successful with my projects, and sorta nagged me into shelving them to work more. She doesn't pay for shit. Even the things she promised me she's fallen through on. But we do love each other and she's been faithful (confirmed).

My parents are old lunatics who had a lot of money, very little of which I've seen, who live in my state. They're now considering moving. My sister is a successful doctor, and has been fighting with them over seeing them as abusive now that she has her own kids. I've gotten dragged into this.

I got some roommates to save money. One is a suicidal autist and the other is an ok dude who haphazardly forces catshit down the shower drain sometimes.

I'm worried about the future being a hole I can't overcome.

>>
>>32340746
There are a lot of assholes out there, anon. And when you encounter them it's important to stand your ground, otherwise you'll always end up with the shit end of the stick.

If your cousins are being assholes and talking shit to you then tell them to stop. Tell them they're taking the fun out of the sport. People aren't used to being called out on their bullshit, and it often shocks people when they are; at least the not-so pathological ones. If your Uncle bulldozes you with his religion then tell him you've had enough of it for the time being and change the subject. If your coworker tries to undermine your confidence then stand your ground and tell him you're not stupid for having an issue and seeking help with it and that you would appreciate it if he would keep his put downs to himself.

Many people will try to place you beneath them, oftentimes without them even being aware that they're doing it. But you're learning the game, all you need to do now is to fight back. If you don't fight and assert yourself then these people will just have their way with you.

One last thing: be careful with armwrestling. When you armwrestle assholes you can easily break your arm. Remember to look at your hand at all times and try to keep your shoulder and arm within your body and not outside of it. Competitive armwrestling is also more about back pressure than it is about side pressure. To play it safe, just pull back on their arm as hard as you can and let them wear themselves out on you. If they don't train this tactic alone should be enough to make yourself competitive against them.

Why are most main characters in stories such good, brave and honorable people when the average human being is a piece of trash?

And on a side-note: ever since high school I noticed that most humans are awful scumbags. Am I just a naturally kind person? I thought that being kind was normal but I guess not. I don't feel the need to put others down for no good reason. How do I cope with being a relatively good person amongst a sea of relatively bad human beings? Thank you

Yeah, bad syntax on my part. I meant to say that when people tell you to go to college its because a college education is the most statistically guaranteed way to earn an above average income. As the technology that powers our society becomes more and more advance we substantially depart from the hunter/gatherer/farmer/craftsman society that we used to rely on. It used to be enough that you grew up and learned to craft horseshoes or grown corn like your father did. That isn't the case anymore. These more primitive trades didn't require any higher education but computer technology, engineering, science and medical trades do. Its just a higher barrier for entry into economic productivity. It doesn't really have anything to do with education replacing socializing as the watermark for success.

I don't believe in idea of women attraction throught "emotional connection", i simply think only real attraction is physical and i see in my own life examples how women threat and act around people they really attracted (aka Pretty Boys/Chads). I really can't withhold that these "feelings" are just copes for beta settlers who isn't in 20% of Chads who were jumped on their sight. I really want to put my mind in that place where i would believe that emotional connection worth something but honestly can't get it because it sound like a cope.
