I'm older than Joy Division singer Ian Curtis was when he famously killed himself at age 23.Yes people generally "lived" much older back then. But also puts into perspective for me how fkn tragic his suicide was and how young he still was. Literally just a baby. I didnt feel like "a man" until I was 24.
>>85721799> people lived longer "back then"the guy died in 1980 lmao. wtf are you talking about? human life expectancy has never been higher than it is currently. that was like 40 years ago, 40 years is nothing. jesus christ you some like some retard who smoked weed for the first time and thinks "what if the color i see as red is actually a different color than other people's idea of 'red'?" is actually a deep mind blowing realization.
>>85721824i meant the lifestyle of a 23 year old back then is more equivalent to the lifestyle of a 35 year old in 2026. the guy was fully married, had a young child, had a full time corporate job + a side gig, going out to pubs etc was a rare luxury for the guy in his final 2-3 years. Basically average lifestyle for a 35 year old in 2026.
I still don't feel like "a man" at 35. To me I'm "a guy". "Man" feels so big, serious and competent.
>>85721949what made me feel like "a man" was taking charge and making impactful decisions in serious situations where peoples lives were on the line. i had a rough last few years with a bunch of traauma. which btw i still just carry fkn quietly with me cuz i have no social support network lmfao . which on the one hand is utterly fked up and inhuman but also contributed to my feeling as being a "competent man" the fact i can live this long with no support and all thiese horrible memories and baggage and not just fucking kill myself
>>85721949>>85721959and also fucking pussy made me feel like a man i wont lie. thats an important part too. just to be totally honest and transparent
>>85721959I make important decisions in Vidya, Vidya makes me a man
>>85721799I am 25 and i still don't feel like a man
>>85721981as a truecel, i can't do thatso i will forever remain a boy
>>85721799Who? Who gives a flying fuck
>>85722271its just crazy to me that i am now older and probably wiser than somebody i used to idolize when i was a teenager. thats all. passage of time and shit
