I'm 34 and I regret not doing a PhD every single day. I feel too old to do it now and everyone around me keeps discouraging me.

Is there a solution?

If you can afford it, think about it. Regret isn't going to go away.

publish papers yourself on a website. if your research is for real maybe some professors will respond to your emails (like ramanujan lol)

Do it, there're college students older than 34, lol.

Unless it's your absolute passion and you do it as an end in its own, stop it.
Looking at the way you are describing it, you should better stop it.

A Ph.D. is fucking worthless these days. Fucking anyone can get it, even the biggest retard.
It proves fucking nothing. Academics are over and done. Pic-related in a way.
Earn your stripes on a regular job. This will probably do you better.
