>That guy you knew in high school who never did anything with himself after graduating and spent all of his 20s playing WoW and LoL
He never even tried. I don't get it.

There's literally nothing wrong with wasting your life doing nothing. Hustle culture has rotted your mind. Very few people will be more than a footnote in history.
>>
>>84164827
He really likes those games okay? Just because he doesn't post his achievements on instagram doesn't mean that he never tried
>>
>>84164827
He's happier than 99.99999% of people.
>>
I'm that guy, I normified when I hit 30
>>
What is there to get? Just ask him instead of bringing this faggotry here.
>>
Why does he have to? I know a dude who is a total "failure" in society's eyes. Doesn't do shit but suck up welfare while living with his parents at 50. All the nigger does is play CoD. He'll never has as much money as me, but he's happy doing whatever he wants all day. I don't have that.
>>
I've never looked at the people who do "what you're supposed to do" - getting married, having kids, pushing for constant work advancement, better house, better car, better better - and felt like I really wanted that life for myself.

You can't even get that life even if you tried nowadays. The boomers destroyed it all.

I'm that guy

Life has never shown me anything I felt was worth expending the energy and effort to pursue.
It's not that I don't want it, it's just that I don't want it badly enough to put in the necessary work for it.
Felt this way my whole life. I feel no joy or fulfillment from acquiring something or completing a task, for the longest time I didn;t know you were suppose to. I'd feel exactly the same as before I had it or finished it, only now I'm tired.

so I fill my life with the bare minimum to pass the time.
No, I'm not happy. but I don't think I would be in any circumstance.
>>
The most successful people is the most miserable one.
>>
>>84164827
Okay, but what does any of this have to do with you, or anyone else.
>>
>>84164828
Not only that but even the A and B tier artists will be forgotten.

We only remember the S tier artists like Mozart and Beethoven.

My guess is that only artists like Michael Jackson will be remembered.
>>
>>84164828
OY VEY, this is literally economic terrorism
>>
>>84164827
Shoulda been me, I regret finishing my degree and getting a gf, im just as miserable except i do things i dont like and have less time for the things I like, there is really no point.
Youre probably still young and try to cope by looking down on people like him, but i advise you to prepare yourself for the shock of the dawning realization that he did the right thing and you did not, its not pretty.

every job will be replaced in 5 years, imagine the jobcels mass suiciding since their lives will have no meaning kek

nigga u depressed

>>84164828
There's a difference between wanting to be remembered forever and living out your little life. The guy I knew didn't even try to live a little life, he gave up before it started.
>>
>>84164827
I got my life ruined at 22. Now i am 30, have anhedonia and do nothing but scroll reddit and vee all day. Been doing this since april 2020
>>
>>84164828
This is antisemitism now back to work goy
>>

I don't have to be a nihilistic loser to see that we're heading towards the same end nevermind how we spent our life.
But it certainly is nice to travel, get good at something useful and hard and meet people while alive.

this guy? he's doing pretty gud
>>
>>84164837
I feel very similarly to this.
>Have a baseline of "pretty alright"
>Very rarely am I upset enough or happy enough to feel differently
I'm 30, own a house, married, have two kids, and just got a promotion at work. A lot of stuff feels like going through the motions, but I do genuinely love my wife and kids. I don't know why my emotions are broken, but I think the times when I'm most happy are daydreaming a story I've had in my head for a decade, rock climbing, or hiking.
>>
>>84164846
So fucking what
Its his choice, he didnt ask to be born so let him live or not live however he fucking chooses.
If he wanted to kill himself hes entitled to do that too, no matter how many normalfags say its selfish.

Wu wei, bitch nigga
>>
That's how I ended up but with other video games. People told me to try harder, to improve, but at what? I just don't care about any of that stuff. Am I supposed to just keep trying, not feeling any joy from what I do, for a reward I don't even want? That makes absolutely no sense from any perspective.

>mfw experienced the life of a middle-aged man in my 20s
dead dad, dying mom, distant family, ruined relationships lmao
how do you keep on living when you've had all that life has to offer?

I'm in the same boat man. I used to be at the top of the world

Forgot to add. I was richer than elon musk when it comes to life fullfilment
>>
>>84165101
>>84165161
I genuinely don't know what else to do
Like, am I supposed to do more; more distractions, more copes, more vices
Or am I supposed to do less; settle down, live a simple life, die at the age of 70+

Life is too weird, man

The work world is 100x more boring and 100x less fulfilling than the immediate do-something-get-results of the video game world.

>Kill boss get loot. Free dopamine.

>Work seven years. Save up for vacation to island [x]. Get there and it rains and the only thing to eat is coconut and rice. $20000 dollars and seven years gone for less dopamine than looting an epic sword.

If you goal in life is to feel good then video games, drugs, and porn should be your priorities.

If your goal in life is to achieve something that an oil company think-tank decided for you in the 1940s, then get the best job you can and work extra hard because work is its own reward.

>Finished highschool with a 3.4 that was a 3.9 as a junior before I spent all senior year not doing my work
>Had a 30 on the ACT that I took once as a freshman
>Got a 5 on the AP US History test, 4 on the AP World History, 4 on AP Literature, and 5 on AP Language and got a sympathy D in the class, 2 on AP Calc because I spent all year playing Angry Birds and Peggle in class and that was my limit for math
>Late to school every day and never once did homework or studied for anything
>Access to a full ride scholarship at any university in the state
>Parents didn't want to send me away because they knew I'd flunk out because I wouldn't go to class without someone forcing me
>Did Surveying Technology at a local community college. GPA wasn't impressive because of a few ancillary classes but my surveying teacher told me I was the best one and had most potential out of any of them
>Didn't look for jobs at all and NEETed for a year before my dad got me a job with manual labor contractor for surface mines and reclaim work
>Did that for 8 months before the guy I worked for got hurt and quit and I got laid off because I couldn't run equipment and still didn't have my license
>NEETed for 6 more years doing dogsitting under the table odd jobs like framing and pouring concrete for spending money that other people arranged for me, got my license finally at 24
>Dad got me a job at a mine repair shop, worked at there for the last 3 years and have maximized my pay and abilities there
>Still live at home because I don't make enough to comfortably live by myself
>Don't see how I could get another job because the opportunities around here are poor and I've never put effort into actually looking for one and have a bad resume and no interviewing skills
>Despite the fact I can do alot of things, don't think I'm skilled enough at any one thing to make a career out of it
>As I get older things will only get worse but don't see any other realistic path
Haha yeah
