I’ve done everything I’d like to do and the rest of life feels like it’d be a slog. What can I do to stop feeling like this? Should I be trying to reject this feeling or is it fine to embrace it?
>>34400984When you said you've done everything you would like to do, what were those things?Like a top 3 if you had 3 things you wanted to do
>>34400984Every passing year will feel less distinctive than the one before itI would say age 5-10, 10-15, 15-20 all feel roughly equal, in terms of experience variety and memorability. For some people this extends to 20-25, if they graduate from college and start a good career. For very few people it extends to 25-30. After that, pretty much no matter what you do, your past experiences will always be more important and memorable than future ones.before you know it you'll wake up one day, be 45, wishing for retirement so you can just relax a while before death
>>34401012Grim.
>>34400984>I’ve done everything I’d like to do at 23If your life's ambitions were graduating high school, getting your driver's licensce and maybe banging a chickThen yes, your life is truly over now
>>344009871. My university program 2. Made enough money for a significant inheritance ($100k+ in assets)3. Traveled to the places I was most interested in seeing as a kid.>>34401012Yes, this seems to be the usual track. However, and I think this is definitely worth mentioning, many men don’t have their most defining moments until later in their lives. Think of incredibly exceptional people like Theodore Herzl, Donald Trump (president at 70) or Napoleon Bonaparte (emperor at 35). Sometimes you actually do end up having significant, meaningful moments late in your life. You could have a child, go back to school, get a new job. You just never know.
You say that but you know nothing(I do too lol), let alone what the rest of your life will be like. Stop thinking so fatalistically and live a little. Challenge yourself.>>34401012>After that, pretty much no matter what you do, your past experiences will always be more important and memorable than future ones.Ha, only if you are a normalfag that views college as being the peak of human life. I feel like growing old is a privilege. Its better to be 50 and regretful than 26 and smoldering in the ground. If you really think that all good memories and events happen when you are young than you need to invest yourself into more introspective hobbies that grow with time.
>>34401103Exactly. Not only the ship has sailed, but it has completed the voyage, decommissioned and scrapped. Only thing left is to pay as little taxes to females and minorities as possible.
>>34401130>>34401103Why live at all?
>>34401103>>34401130Absolutely pathetic view of life. >muh social circles>muh gfAre you a man or a boy? Find a way to be content in solitude and you will have a happiness that cannot be taken away. You fixate so much on what you dont have that you dont even realize that you are losing what you do have.
Bump
>>34400984I am 30 and I would say my life didnt really begin to have anything good in it until I was 26.
>>34400984find some impossible unsolved problem and start working on it
>>34400984>>3440101224 here. I started working pretty much non-stop since late 2022 and time just kinda flew by (tunnel-visioned my career and put myself into a situation where I had no opportunity for vacation time). Oftentimes I find myself remembering that I'm halfway through my 20's already and 2021 was five years ago, not just a few months ago.
>>34403443I feel like my life has been too good and now I’m just anxious about losing it all.>>34403445Excellent idea. I guess the only thing similar to this that I’ve been thinking about is trying to teach myself physics and electronics. Not exactly an “impossible task” though.>>34403455This is exactly what I’ve done except it has only been 10 months so far.
>>34403599>I guess the only thing similar to this that I’ve been thinking about is trying to teach myself physics and electronicsdo it yo. join us over at the /ohm/ threads in /diy/ - its great fun
>>34403614Going to use my duino today. Thanks for the hopefuel.
