Did you fail at life?

What hopes did you have wen you were younger?
I wanted to be an academic, but instead I just do unskilled labor occasionally.
>>
i wanted to be an architecture or a banker but i pussied out and became a shitty doctor who had to take 2 extra years to finished med school
>>
You're a muslim in a muslim country. Go to mosque and become an islamic scholar. Rich gulfies will pay you to translate texts.
>>
>>224462874
You're a doctor bro
It can't be that bad

>>224462885
I don't think it's that easy bro. You have to have some education for that.
>>
>>224462735
I have failed, I never had hopes. Just waiting for both of my parents to die so i can kill myself.
>>
>>224462915
i always felt like i betrayed God. like i had been living in the skin of another animal
>>
>>224463005
Same

I'm not sure what to tell you. Are you at least rich?
>>
>>224462735
You're literally me lol

Sometimes I cry to sleep knowing my life was wasted
>>
>>224462735
I can't fail because there was nothing to win to begin with. There was no clearly defined objective for me other than insuring short term health and comfort. I had no hopes I just lived. I'm currently doing fine and whenever I won't be doing fine I'll address it if it's not too much of a hassle. Anything other than this is feminine neurosis and should be ignored, thus why I will proceed to filter your annoying flag.

I wanted to be a video game developer but it never happened, I just hustle in general

>>224463018
No

Grim state of affairs desu

>>224462735
growing up I always assumed people who get PhDs are losers who couldn't find anything better to do. Now I know I was 100% right.

>>224463051
What sort of field did you wanted to study?

It'd be a pretty easy task to emigrate to Canada. You could become a shitty doctor here, like most of the other immigrant doctors.
>>
>>224463066
There's probably some truth to that.

I'm just also a loser incapable of performing basic human functions so I ended up this way.

>>224463071
History or philosophy. I chose history but dropped out shortly after the first semester.

He's in Vietnam why would he go to your third world country?

>I don't think it's that easy bro. You have to have some education for that.
I left Islam over 20 years ago and I still get job offers.
>>
>>224463106
I liked history and economy too. Instead I decided to study computer science, which I also dropped after one semester

I guess I'll need to find another way to find happiness in life
>>
>>224463106
you don't have to be able to perform basic human functions to graduate and get a job thoughbeit. I make more money than most of the cattle in this country but I am a dysfunctional autistic retard incel and spend most of my days doing nothing productive, playing vidya watching anime or shitposting on 4chan (including during work hours)
>>
>>224463175
I don't get it. How are you getting job offers?

>>224463176
Good luck anon

>>224463214
How do you make money?
>>
>>224463242
>How do you make money?
I have a job. But it's the kind of job where nobody actually manages me day to day. I can do whatever the fuck I want most of the time so long as I show up to the occasional meeting or event, and deliver results on time. I also can't be fired or reprimanded by anybody most of the time because I am the one managing the funding my salary comes from.

really the trick is to find a role where either nobody has authority over you or technically multiple people have incomplete authority over you so you can just play them off each other and end up doing whatever you want

>>224462735
i realized that i wasn't going to ever have the necessary social skill level a very long time ago, can't recall exactly when, most likely 3rd grade.
>>
You didn't answer my question.
I'm glad serbians did numbers on you, and i wish i could take part of it. My grandpa kinda did.

>>224462885
This, just get with the daughter of some wealthy jeque habibi
>>
>>224462952
wtf are you a mind reader?
>>
>>224462735
>I wanted to be an academic
You mean actually getting a PhD and working as a researcher or university professor, or do you mean just going to uni to get a bachelors degree? Because if it's the latter then you're not missing out on anything because universities are basically adult daycare now and more like a continuation of high school. They don't teach you anything that you can't learn yourself unless it's shit like med school. You have to put in the extra work to actually make some use out of your degree. Lots of people end up doing something where no one ever asked them about their education. There are also not enough jobs for everyone
>>
>>224463755
I don't think you can't be a academic without a PhD lol
>>
>>224462735
kinda same here, i wanted to study history but didn't want to end up teaching in a high school, like 99% of history majors.
now i’m a tradie, i don’t hate my job, but sometimes i wonder what it would be like to have somewhat cultured friends in real life to spend nights drinking slow and discussing history or interesting stuff.
>>
>>224462735
Not sure. I went into economics thinking I'd make the world a better place. I'm an economist now, but shit is just tiresome. It's cliched, but the grass is always greener on the other side.
>>
yes i am an utter failure and its over

there really is only so much you can realistically do if you fail to reach milestones by a certain age
>>
>>224465886

Not sure what you mean by that. I'm doing relatively ok (paid off flat and will buy a second one within a few years, kid, married for 10years, doing a job that I like and which pays ok) yet the morning anxiety where I feel like a complete failure is still there. At this point I simply feel like whatever you do life is a bit of a sick joke.

That's just your feelings. There are people who turned things around in their 30s/40s/50s starting from either nothing or a past with nothing but failures and addictions. It wasn't my path, but I've seen it. Never let your feelings dictate what you can and cannot do. Realistically speaking, reaching certain milestones doesn't require that much.
