I'm 21 and looking back at all the time I've wasted depresses me. I could've been learning more subjects, making software, learning languages, reading political philosophy, creating a social media following, and I have almost nothing. I look at people my age who have millions of dollars, millions of followers, deeper and wider knowledge in more subjects than I do, and I sigh. How do I make it so I don't feel this way when I'm 30?
>>33738843Stop pursuing unattainable goals and stop comparing yourself to others. You are chained to your desires. The sooner you free yourself from their grasp, the better you will feel.
>>33738843Nonsense. All you have to do is watch this video, and learn to have a better outlook on life.https://youtu.be/hgs9K36_E2A?si=eVRUqqvW6D1oofJQ
>>33738843delete all social media and get a do it now mentality. in this reality, it's either all or nothing.
>>33738843>I look at people my age who have millions of dollars, millions of followers, deeper and wider knowledge in more subjects than I do.Yet you forget about the millions of people who live in poverty, who have no family nor friends and have no access to information via the internet or education.>How do I make it so I don't feel this way when I'm 30?Learn that comparison is the thief of joy, stop giving meaning to meaningless things. Many people have much more but many people have much less. Such is life.
I won't read "missed milestones" threads. Just start now.
>>33738843>How do I make it so I don't feel this way when I'm 30?Do anything. Small things add up. Rarely will one moment or experience alone significantly alter your life. I spent my 20s doing fuck all. I worked and had friends but I didn't play any sports, or travel, learn an instrument etc. I played video games, smoked a lot of weed and hung out with buddies doing more of that.I never tried getting out of my comfort zone, especially with women, and avoided anything with the possibility of failure. Allowing fear of failure to paralyze you will ensure you fail.
I'm 22 bro, it's never too late to start. Stop looking at other people, comparison kills joy. Don't you know? Just focus on being the best version of yourself. Please also get tf off social media for a short while if it doesn't benefit your ass directly. Follower count doesn't matter. It's all about your mindset brother, how you mold and fortify your own golden perspective. Start now once you have time, if you don't have time then create an opportunity. I'm learning Spanish right now, i'm saving money to get an electric guitar so I can take lessons, i'm practicing swimming at my university's pool and i'm exercising at my home gym consistently. START NOW!!! RAAAHHHHH
>>33738843>I could've been learning more subjects, making software, learning languages, reading political philosophy, creating a social media followingyeah, you could be doing that right now- but you aren't. You daydreaming wannabe.>I look at people my age who have millions of dollars, millions of followers, deeper and wider knowledge in more subjects than I do>and I sigha loser at that.>How do I make it so I don't feel this way when I'm 30?how to stop being a loser? By actually living the life you want to live instead of pretending like you are and dreaming of it. Living life means going after what you want from it. Instead- you loathe yourself for not even trying. 21? You're no longer a child- you have no excuses anymore.
>>33738843better 21 than realizing this at 28
