>What's the next 60 years of my life going to look like

Ambiguity. You're just gonna have to live your life to know what will happen.

I'm a 25 year old and I try not to worry about it. Gen alpha is just going to come up with shit that I won't understand like vydia, movies, music and technology. Then I'll feel exactly how my dad feels.

'til then, try to stay on top of your game.

Fuck off bitch

>>34402373
nobody knows what the next 60 years of your life are going to look like
we can't create accurate economic models even 5 years into the future
nobody knows what's gonna happen in their life in 1 month, let alone 6 months or 1 year or 60 years

so what are you actually asking?

>nobody knows what's gonna happen in their life in 1 month, let alone 6 months or 1 year or 60 years

That's what I'm trying to tell OP, I'm this anon >>34402369

Just because we don't know what tomorrow will look like, doesn't mean we shouldn't think about it at all. Just try to have a friendly conversation for once.

It's going to be weird as fuck, that's what I'm sure of.
>>
do you know what you want?
why didn't you ever ask this question ("what do i do") in the past? has something specific changed or made you pay attention to it, if so what?
>>
>>34402369
>>34402383
yeah u right

i just get sick of these OPs which are too fucking vague, often the OP will come and complain that the replies aren't what he was looking for even thouhg it's his fault
>>
there's nothing wrong with this thread i just hope OP knows he's gonna get a wide range of responses which are largely gonna be people monologuing about their own general approach to life
>>
>>34402388
Dubs checked

I just wish OP replied and interacted with us. I wanted to know what are his hopes and dreams for the future.

I want freedom from my parents bullshit
I want to be loved by someone but I hate myself and all the fake and gay bullshit around me, excessive saccharine shit in society that will determine 99% of my life for some reason. I want to be In a place where I know others are also happy. I feel like I am so unhappy making any connections to humans who also aren't happy does nothing since there nothing to talk about. Nothing interesting happens in my life either, it's just one food in front of the other and I think the finish line is when I'm dead

it doesn't have to be that way & you can change it, keep that in mind
>I want to be loved by someone but I hate myself and all the fake and gay bullshit around me, excessive saccharine shit in society that will determine 99% of my life for some reason.

the best way to find all of those things is to take more risks & try to navigate to interesting places
i know that's vague but still
>I want freedom from my parents bullshit
this will take care of itself when you do the previous thing somehow
and yeah, you should try to be independent from your parents bullshit
don't try to confront them about it or any shit like that, especially while you're still dependent on them
once you're more reliant on yourself & they feel like a smaller part of your life, it becomes much easier to make decisions
>>
to be loved, to build bonds of any kind, friendships etc, you gotta have crazy shared experiences with other people
this is especially true as you get older

it's also true that the world is unnaturally cold right now
but it's still very possible to get the things you want, anon

Op again

I work at a store and it crossed my mind that people are basically products constantly molested throughout their lives. When you think about it they are used like a product and then cast aside like nothing. Holidays exist just to make money right now. I don't believe in a god but I feel horrible for Christians and I don't know how they're okay with their religion being desecrated to sell more products by companies. National women's day, mental health day, etc. also if you aren't wageslaving your free time is optimi to make money. When you are watching tv or YouTube or browsing Internet you're watching ads. Your data is sold and everyone I watching you continuasly there is nothing private about you. I was stocking shelves at my job when this thought crossed my mind when looking at the products astrewn at the easter section. It made me realize that some people don't give a shit about what others care about and that some people worship a religion that doesnt exist as a cope to ignore the reality that they are raped every day until they get buried. And it made me sad also I was thinking if the history of this world and it takes several centuries for things to get better and those good times last less than a century so things become shit again not a good trade deal
Literally everything is also a product beyond the purpose it even serves. The only thing that doesn't fag beyond it's purpose is food. I kid you not if we didn't need food to survive itd bee like gold. The only reason that we haven't desecrated the idea of food yet is because food tits away and loses it's value. Humans need food however you can only gouge for a certain amount of time until it becomes a game of waiting. If you don't sell the food it rots and becomes worthless. I see food as the ultimate middle finger to this gay world

My parents are forcing me down a predetermined path. The problem is I feel burnt out already. Like imagine being scammed once then you are being told to buy in again. There's littlerally no point then. At what point does endurance become not worth it. The answer is never unless it kills you after day one. People will just tell you to keep climbing the increasingly steep hill until you can't climb anymore for some reason you are always able to climb despite its steepness which is why I hate it. It's manmad and Designed for evil.

They know I'm dependant on them and rub it in. They say they don't want me to suffer but they say things that contradict that. Like one thing they like to say is if I don't do well in school or make "smart" money choices they will not house me. Um okay out of the frying pan and into the fire much?

There doesn't have to be another 60 years anon

Oh should I take meds? Meds do nothing except make me more angry that I know I'm neutering reasonable emotions
>>
>>34402456
>should I take meds?

You can either visit a therapist and tell them all of this stuff you're telling us here, and have them try to "figure you out" or... You can go to a psychiatrist and take medication (solving your brain chemicals), but either way, you need to figure out what's happening with you.

I take medication to keep me grounded in reality, otherwise I'll get delulu and do stupid shit irl. But that's my experience.

You're on the path of discovering your own. Try not to worry about your own life *separate* from the world. Try to understand how it can work with technology and society advancements.

You might make a plan for your life, then get drafted for WW3 and all that worrying was for nothing
>>
>>34402468
I did and I have up because the roastie was unironically like a robot who could answer any of my tough questions.

>Yeah you need to do things that you enjoy
Oh I do but my parents think it's wrong
>How about try to negotiate with your parent what I'm allowed to do
Oh yeah that sounds like fun. I'll negotiate and want more time. Surely negotiating works irl right? Fuck off
>You need to improve yourself
Oh yeah, thanks. I'll try and be my best. And even if life is shit I'll eat all of it with a smile on my face. If I told the glowiepist half the shit I say in here I'd be in jail
>>
>>34402379
I mean what do my family expect it to look like. The seriously think that I can walk the same path as them.
>>
>>34402563
Then just ignore therapy and go for the medication to get grounded.

I can tell you from experience: it (medication) helps

Just be very honest about your feelings (not to the psychiatrist, but to yourself first) then get the subscription for your pills
>>
>>34402577
I want to snap at some point and crack skulls. I feel like medication would hinder that. If I never snap I will never know if my wrath is justified or not
>>
Like 50% of the thread is just me. Is this board empty wtf?
