Life after 25 is so bland, I wonder if everyone is just pretending to be happy after 30.
>>84516661Who's pretending? They're all openly miserable.
>>84516661I wonder the same thing; does everyone become so boring at 35-40 years old?
>>84516661>>84517416I am at my happiest when I am at my blandest. There is no greater pleasure than going through a completely mundane, uneventful day.
>>84517416the goal is really to not settle into a mundane routine, you have to keep in contact with friends, plan things. so many people just get stuck in a loop and they become jaded. my parents have no friends and just watch tv, its not a life
>>84517416Nah, you just become wiser, things are making sense, you spend a lot of time thinking.
im 35, my life is pretty pointless, i have no gf, no car, cant drive, never had a job, am a diagnosed schizo, will in all likelihood die aloneI like to imagine my funeral, almost no one there. or no one there at all, maybe buried in a paupers grave. I am wasting away in my room as a neet, the liminal space between being born and death is my room.i guess people have kids to give their life meaning, i can imagine being married, having a kid, knowing im raising the next generation
I'm 38 and enjoying myself just fine. Not that hard not to be a Doomer faggot.
>>84516661I've gotten really into fitness at 30. I wasted my 20's doing nothing for myself. I'm eating better, exercising regularly, I've stopped masturbating, and started taking supplements. I feel way better, but horny all the time always. Down to 307 lbs from 320 on my birthday a month ago and I have noticibly gained muscle
>>84516661After 30 is pretty nice, actually. 20s suck.
>>84516661Your 30s is for reaching enlightenment which is incredibly rewarding
>>84516661Life before 25 fucking sucked, it stopped being good at like, 15 or so and then there was a whole decade that was horrible.
>>84516661The longer the live the harder it becomes to ignore the cracks. The smarter you are, the earlier this happens. You'll come to realize you can't have faith in anything and you'll simple have to sit on your own hands while the whole world burns. Relationships begin to feel superficial, your job begins to feel fake, your hobbies lose their luster and appeal. It's the first death that precedes the second and final death. After your hopes and dreams die, your body will be next.
>>84517951True. Why self-care is important
>>84517951>tfwfamiliar stuff senpai, i'm tried ti word it elaborately, but yeah i feel like an npc or animal at times, in the sense that nothing moves me forward just impulses and instinct. i dont want to save the west anymore
>>84517699Kdramas and weed are my friends
>>84517951Ooh look at mr deep thinking poser faggot here
i'm 35 and have felt better the older i am. as an adult at least. 18-23 was probably the worst ages for me
My life got a shit ton more better when I hit 30. I was when I started taking shit seriously. It was when I hit 40 when everything went downhill.
>>84516661Seeing my portfolio increase after people on 4chan helped me learn to invest wisely (rather than get wrecked being greedy) is a joy. Money is just the start and I make plans for what I'll do when target prices are met and it's okay to cash out gains. Much of it is on the more practical side, like learning about historical disasters and preparing for them, even ones so rare they may not happen again soon. This also means I'll be able to keep my stuff safe like the new PC I've been holding off on building. I meet new people and make unexpectedly trusting, kind friends by spending a balanced amount of time in servers focused on my specific interests. I don't rush to make friends I just take time to engage with people and let them get to know me over many months. Even with video-games I remind myself to truly take time to appreciate them like I first did when I got a PS2: don't just rush and take in the sights and sounds, think about the details, improve at the mechanics instead of just trying to barely get by in a hurry. But this approach applies to many other aspects of life.I could be in some wartorn place without internet. This thought doesn't make my troubles go away but reminds me to appreciate what I have in a more conscious way. Recently I've finally started looking into the world of drinks and seeing impressions and the history before I try it myself is enjoyable. Drink for taste and not for the buzz, especially at today's prices. So I'm learning to appreciate what I have more, and make the effort to have the means to explore more of the wholesome side of life. But it's a journey that takes time despite the thinking of "instant gratification" we see advertised often.
