You don't know how it feels when your life is truly over.

I'm 37 and living in my car, make about 250 per month. Have never had sex or a gf. Too old to get a new career or a gf.
The funny thing is that I was always a gifted child and I did very well in school. Great things were expected of me. But something happened and I immediately got rekt after graduating. Adult life simply doesn't work for me.
Now I just experience stress and anxiety day and night. It's making me age in dog years. I'm just so fucking scared of the life I lead. Imagine being a 37yo manchild living in his car with no future plans whatsoever.

at least don't drink or do drugs...

These things never happen to women.
It's weird.
You can only slip through the cracks if you're a male.
Even without drugs or alcohol, only men fail to get jobs and relationships.

This is massive but nobody talks about this. We need more women's rights, huh

>>83424465
I'm worried this will be my future as an autist with no life skills

Sorry anon

>>83424633
I'm OP and I think I'm autistic
Sometimes I'm good at some obscure little tasks but networking and relationships, not so much
>>
At least you have a car.

I don't even have a driver's licence and don't know how to drive.
>>
>>83424719
But you're 18, have a degree, a roof over your head, and everything ahead of u

>>83424613
nah I see homeless women all over Toronto, plus most of the whores are druggies who live with an abusive pimp who takes their money and beats them.

You can't base your opinion of women on the lives of a successful social media roastie who has a million followers and lives in a mansion.
>>
>>83424726
No I'm 33, dropped out of high school and live with my parents in a rental apartment I can't afford so once they die I'll be homeless but hoping I'll kill myself long before they die.
>>
>>83424465
I'm ten years younger than you but my life is already over too. Onlyy difference is I still live with my parents. It's kind of crazy how we're just expected to keep on going even after we already fucked up and bypassed all our prospects.

I have nothing. My family is poorfags. I'm a khhv, I have no money, no job, no car, flunked uni. If I struggle and give my all, MAYBE I can attain some shitty job that will pay pocket money. I will never have a house, never have wealth, never have anything resembling a meaningful or enjoyable life. And yes, I'm bitter about missing out on teenage love, youth, all that good stuff. Just expected to live day by day and get older and then die.

Know what's crazy? I feel guilty about being such a worthless loser, guilty that this is what my mother has as a son. But what the fuck did I have to work with? I went to a school where everyone was middle class, living in big houses with their parents and siblings. Meanwhile I went from rented place to rented place, didn't even have siblings to confide in. What was I meant to be? A plant given not enough sunlight and no fertilizer won't flourish.

>>83424841
nigga you are 27yo you are supposed to live with your parents. Your life is far from over unless you quit, you always have the time to turn it around and get exactly what you want out of life
>>
>>83424465
I would reccomend a career training program but I don't want it filled with r9kers and someone discovering me because of my writing style.
>>
>>83425135
Living with parents isn't the issue, the issue is that in every respect I am just as fucked and there is no reason to think that I won't be in OPs position ten years down the line, maybe still living with parents, maybe not. If the latter, probably on the streets because I don't see myself ever having a car. It's easy to go "yeah you're still young you have all these chances". No, I'm just younger than OP, but what do I have over him?

Imo, if you aren't on some sort of path or belatedly meeting milestones at least by 23-25, it's over. If I was going to have a good life, there would have at least been indications of that by now.

And if I can have a good life, so can OP. Seriously, what does 27 have that 37 doesn't? I'm too old to go back to undergrad without being an unc, I won't get another loan anyway. All women in my dating age range won't want a KHHV and will be far more experienced, sexually and mentally mature than me with expectations I can't meet. I have literally no idea what to do and my family are poorfags with no connections so it's not like anyone's gonna help me out.

for OP and those in a similar position, i don't think it's ever too late to reinvent yourself, unless you're already at retiring age. Trade school is 10k in most states, takes about 5 years to complete, and is pay as you go so you don't have to pay it all at once. It's less worth it for OP, but probably still worth it, assuming he lives in the united states or a similar countr.y after trade school if you were apprenticing while studying you can generally find a job paying 60k+, at this point you can afford at least a meager living, even though it's difficult work. few more years down the line you're making 100k+. That won't fix all of our problems, at the end of the day we're still subhuman, but at least we can drown our sorrows with cheap pussy in 3rd world countries with the money we get. Might be worth the trouble.
>>
>>83425320
You are luckly being an american. Try being a britbong where you can learn a trade and be hard capped at a 40k salary barely enough to have a roof over your head and eat food. The idea of ever being able to accumulate money or wealth is alien to us.
>>
>>83425252
OP is also retarded and could turn his life around at any moment. Same applies to you, any day you could turn it around. One month, three months, one year from now you will be amazed at the progress you have made and could be in a completely different plane of existence
>>
>>83425411
You need a revolution if this is true. Regardless though, maybe you could take those skills to a different country if you're good with them.
>>
>>83425443
>>83425252
no. Some people have genetic diseases, chronic health problems, suffer from borderline mental retardation, etc.
I hate the "world is your oysters" optimism dipshits like you have. If we could be successful, we'd be successful.

>yeah bro just WORK A TRADE for the rest of your life
piss off

what are you, a woman? obviously some people are fucked. The majority of people are healthy and able bodied, and in this world you need to work or you die. Nothin wrong with working in the trades. Honest work and good money. What's the alternative? Customer service or restaurant work? Both of these are more cancerous and pay less. I'm not even being optimistic. I'm acknowledging that it's going to be a rough life, but it might be a life worth living. You're just afraid of being told to work.

>>83426321
>in this world you need to work or you die
Maybe in your 3rd world favela.
I get paid to be unemployed in Canada and it's enough for me.
>>
>>83426618
ah, you're right. SOMEONE needs to work, or else you will die, that's what I meant.
>>
>>83425443

That's not true if there simply aren't any jobs.
I live in Finland and there are literally no jobs. Zero. Fucking zero. Come here and check it out for yourself, you will die on the streets regardless of your skills and degrees.
>move to another country
And get the visa on what basis? I dont qualify as a refugee.

>>83425252
>>83424841

Unfortunately this sounds 100% relatable to me.
But there is still hope. I'm going to learn survival skills and go dig for gold in the woods. Finding gold in the ground is the best job ever. Maybe I wont find any. But that just means I got to spend time away from society which is always a plus.
Also, we could team up and start a community like the Amish.

>after trade school if you were apprenticing while studying you can generally find a job paying 60k+,

I have a trade school diploma in the assembly of electronics.
Graduated 5 years ago. Still haven't landed a single job or internship.
Where is my 60k a year, anon? I send application after application and they all get trashed and ghosted.
>>
>>83425252
I'm OP and this is true.
People always ask me how the hell I can be 37 and still be in this position. I always tell them it's because I was in this position in my 20s. At around 28 I could feel that it was over. A while later covid-19 hit and it cemented my standing.
It doesn't get better with time. It might, but usually doesn't, because getting women and getting jobs gets harder every day.
Of course there's always an inkling of hope, but you also gotta be realistic and prepare for the reality that you might have to live in a van or move to Jamaica and live in some hippie commune.
You could always make crappy youtube videos though.
>>
>>83424465
There is still hope for you, OP. I know this world sucks and all, but surely there is still hope for your life. Don't lose hope, man.
>>
>>83428379
Sure but I'd have to learn to love picrel lifestyle.
I'd have to give up mansions and Lamborghinis
>>
>>83428463
Lamborghinis and mansions are overrated. Don't store up yourself treasures here on earth where thieves break in and steal. This world sucks, and it's passing away. There is evil everywhere. You'd be surprised to learn that many people who are "living it up" with lots of money, are the same people who struggle with suicidal thoughts on the daily. Lots of money doesn't equate joy or happiness. Sure, it gives you security and comfort, but none of that will buy you joy or peace.
>>
>>83425320
Where I live you need special licenses to practice most trades (such as welding, dock crane operator etc) but a license only frees up when a license holder dies of old age. most unions have waiting lists with dozens of thousands of people. oh and when it comes to welding licenses, the first son of a license holder can claim his father's license when he dies and therefore skip the line.
