I'm 36 and I've lost all my mental and physical strength.I don't want to do anything, anon. I don't want to work or study another day in my life.When I tried to go back to school thinking it would be exciting, after seeing the first homework assignment I was like "not this shit again".It's like, my brain knows that something's wrong. My brain knows I shouldn't be going back in time to do shit for 19-year-olds.I should be raising kids, building houses, getting forward in life. Not just grinding the same level indefinitely.People are telling me I need to just "man up" and face the reality that I need to study and do pajeet-tier work. But you can't fool my brain. My brain knows my reality doesn't make sense. I'm 36, I live in a noisy studio apartment, no passion, no interests, no hobbies, I EXIST so I can be a part time loser at some warehouse so I can keep paying my rent so I can just doomscroll on social so Big Tech can sell my data. Does this sound like normal life?
>>83288675I'm 31, worked harder and longer than most people around me since I was 14. I feel you OP. You're not crazy for feeling this way. >"not this shit again" Yeah.>my brain knows that something's wrongOh yeah. >my reality doesn't make senseYou're not alone. My first reflexive response is community and social bonds can help, but I have a gf, friends, and close family on my end and I still know exactly what you mean. It's fucked up to feel like you're starting at square one at this point in your life, and there's no ignoring how fucked the economy is and how it didn't used to be this hard by default and things being this fucked is a direct result of it all being profitable for a handful of people at the top. I won't pretend to have and answer for you, but you should know you're not alone.
>>83288748I'm OP. I'm a virgin, have never had a gf, no community, no peers, nobody gives a shit about me... it's just me and cooming.My life is like dragging a boulder for 3 miles to get an M&M.There's no reward. No catharsis.
Why don't you work full time and invest the extra money?
>>83288805There are no jobs, anon. In 2025 you take what you can get. You can no longer choose what you want to do.This is no longer the dream world we were told it would be.
>>83288675Understandable. I'm 35 and anon it's not going to get any better or any easier. It's either suck it up and the do the bureaucratic shit to get further ahead or make your peace with living at the bottom of the barrel. Nobody gives a shit how "unfair" we all think and know it is. Your feelings are valid but that doesn't change the situation or the circumstances nor the conditions to change them.
>>83288798>nobody gives a shit about meHey man we're all lonely coomers here, you're in good company. Is there any kind of local scene / hobby store in your area you can check out? Won't pretend I know you, but I'd at least give a shit if you posted "k bye gonna kms" and stopped posting.>I should be raising kids, building housesSounds like you at least crave some sort of community. How far out of the realm of possibility is that? >There's no reward. No catharsis.Man I've spent most of my life being clinically depressed and that sounds a lot like all your dopamine/serotonin receptors are blown out. If you're just trying to feel something again, maybe start with abstaining from the usual quick fix feel good shit. Namely cooming. I'm not a "no nut november" guy or anything, but even just reigning in the frequency can help.
Modern countries are goycattle plantations. Only the most compliant typically get ahead. Saying "no" to employment in this environment is like refusing enslavement. You just have to accept that this gives you a stigma, but it's one worth having. No policies are made to make this world more livable, just to consolidate power and control. If TPTB can't sufficiently motivate millennial men who have tried and tried only to have the rug pulled out from under them over and over, that's on them, leave the hamster wheels for the kiddos.
