Is it weird to start college at 22? My life has been completely fucked the past few years and I haven't been in an environment where I can get anything done. I was enrolled in college courses but I fucked that up due to avoidant tendencies and other personal issuesAnother reason I want to go back is because I want to meet new people and make friends (and have sex with women) Would it be weird for me to do? I feel very self conscious about my life trajectory in relation to my peers and I just feel like everyone would look at me like I'm an odd retard

At 22? You're going to be fine. This is way, way too young.It would only be a problem if you were like 40+ balding and grey hair. Which would look odd when you're hanging out with your classmates, but you'd be more relatable to your teachers.Something gained, something lost.
the question is whether going to college is worth it, because you won't get very much value out of it if you don't network and meet people, and your avoidant tendencies might end up biting you in the assyour freshman year is a good indication of how you'll behave for the rest of your college life
>>34714876>the question is whether going to college is worth itI'd say it's still worth it, but it won't guarantee a posh job.It's like buying a lottery ticket. Sometimes you get lucky and make it far into the field, other times you toil with no avail. Either way, it's going to be hard work.
>>34714778When you turn 24 suddenly 22 will sound a lot like 18 to you, go for itBe warned though, this is the last year of your life that will feel long enough to deserve being called a year
>>34714778Not only is it NOT weird, it is actually less weird than starting at 18. These days college is more an adult thing than an extension of high school,and you'll be among the young ones there.
And what do you think about going into higher education in late 30s? When I know I won't be done with it until I'm past 40.I'm really torn about this since this is kind of my life's "unfinished business", I went to uni for a stem-related course in my 20s, I was actually fairly close to the finish (a bit over a year away) when I gave up due to personal and health issues. Was hoping to come back after 2-3 years but the ship has long sailed on that so I'd have to start from a scratch now.I have doubts whether I could handle both that and working now, but at the same time I don't know if I can cope with just giving up on that completely and letting life just go on. Perhaps this is more of a 'how to cope with giving up on your dreams' question, too.
>>34714778I won't read "is this incredibly normal thing actually weird" posts
>>34714778No, as long as you're not a fuck up. I went to college at 20 and it was cool to be slightly older, although I'd barely call 18 and 20 an age gap. It's literally the same.There was a red head girl, 19, fantastic body and tits who liked older Guys. When she found out I was older than her she wanted me. But me, being a social freak who was incompetent, had become one of those losers who chased Asian women cos they'll accept you. I told her I only date Asian women so nothing happened.Decades later I realised what a catastrophic fuck up I'd made and I want to go back in time and fucking beat the shit out of myself for that until I'm hospitalised. Asian women are shit.
>>34714873What if I'm 24 and balding?
>>34716967Shave your head, learn pick up, and go.
>>34714778Brother I know people who went back to college at 50. It's only too late to do something when you're dead.
