I'm about to be 30. My youth is gone. No crazy nights out, drugs, roadtrips, world travelling, dating girls
18-22, it's all over. I never got to do any of these things and now I'm too old.

welcome to the club faggot get in line

>didn’t get to experience mindless degeneracy and destroy your body and minde for perceived short term gratification
Oh very sad, yes.
>>
i'm getting up there too. i did happen to do a lot of drugs but my drug use eclipsed everything else in my life. the one girl i did get to date out of this predicament has since passed from her addiction some years ago. so i cannot really say with any verity that you missed out on much in that specific case.

jesus, we thought we would live forever. a rotten tooth with no dental, issues with my heart, and $9.98 an hour is all i got out of it in the end. what the hell would you do?
>>
>>33579966
Trust me it's not as perfect as movies and media make it seem
>>
>>33579966
Nice, double dubs.
>>33580009
Makes me want to end it before I actually hit 30. Never to have lived a day past my 20s.
>>33580013
Strong friendships and love and new experiences and grand achievements have nothing to do with the negative things you mentioned.
>>33580025
I'll never forgive myself, my parents, or others around me who betrayed me, led me astray, weren't looking out for me, were responsible for me ending up going down this wretched path.
>>
Going to hit 30 soon and am pretty contempt. Only one friend left who I talk to from time-to-time.
Lost my "best friend" due to his girlfriend. Kinda crazy how you can know someone but not really know them. Thinking if I feel bored enough for going to commission in the military.
Only thing I miss about being young is how easy it felt to make friends, do drugs, and have a good time.
>>
>>33579966
If you have money you can still do those things.
>>
>>33580043
I plan on doing it once I hit 35.
If you think it's bad now, don't worry. It only gets worse.
>>
>now I'm too old
Says who?

I feel you so muchs bros, literally me
I'm too pussy to kms too
>>
>>33582854
*bro
I'm exactly 30 and I have pretty much the same regrets, but not really drugs. never tried those but maybe ill try some if i could go back but that's like the least annoying regret i have.
>>
>>33579966
You can still have crazy nights out, world traveling and probably even roadtrips.
Dating is fucked, but not impossible. Drugs aren't worth it.
>>
>>33583334
This.

If you aren't married with kids and a job (which I presume you aren't since you're here), what's stopping you from going out?
>>
>>33582460
>doing it
what? suicide?
>>
>>33579966
I'm in my mid 30s and I still go out and party, go on trips, date girls and all that good stuff while still fulfilling my responsibilities. Why do you think you suddenly have to stop because you're almost 30? Do whatever the fuck you want it's your only life
>>
>>33582460
>>33580043
if its only gonna get worse you might as well embrace the comedic aspect of it all. life sucks sucks then you die, squidward was right from the beginning. even if you had a successful job and a family and money, it can all go to shit in an instant. fuck it, just suffer maxx and live through it all despite the shittiness, spite the shitty god that put us through all of this and live just to rub it in his face when you do inevitably die
>>
That's odd. As I've gotten older it's easier to obtain and do all of those things. This is likely a work ethic problem. You are lazy and haven't been taught that 94% of being a man is doing stuff you don't want to do. Improve yourself and the life you inhabit will become better

37 here. I've been waiting for this day. The zoomerpocalpyse has finally come. Yeeeeees muaahahahaha

That's odd. As i've gotten older it's harder to obtain and do all of those things.
Improving myself hasn't got me fucking anything: school, courses, exercise, care about look, trying to go with people did change fucking nothing.
I'm in the same exact situation i was as a kid but now it's way worse for obvious reasons. I gave up on everything, i forgot almost everything i've learned to a point a 3rd grader will give me a serious challenge, i'm not exagerating.
Family is in shambles, i've got nothing, no skills, no knowledge thus no future and no will to live already tried to an hero (something serious and made it look perfectly casual so that no one would suspect anything, no one did).
How can i even think to approach someone from my age, in my state, when basically everyone already has a goddamn life (for what a standard life is perceived: with a middle to high grade of education, job, family, friends, own goods, had already shitton of experiences regarding multiple aspects of life)?

I'm not bitter at people who "made it" or in a better situation than mine, if they made it they've been able to and i give them credit. I only blame myself and no one else, sure blame family, friends, school, society, jews would be easier but i'd just lie to myself, pointless.
If anything i blame the fact i can't just go and euthanize myself for good

a simple step is realizing the government isnt real (just a group of people making laws which are rules and we arent kids, we dont need rules)

im 37 and i feel like im just kind of coming into my own life finally. i did a lot of the shit youre regretting not doing, just for the sake of doing it, like the same reason you think you're missing out, and i can definitely say i wish i had kept my virginity instead of getting it out of the way with a prostitute at 21. sex without natural attraction is just going through the motions and it isn't real. i wish i was smart and didn't do drugs. i knew better but i insisted on learning things for myself and i lived for a long time like there were no consequences and life caught up to me after a while

i've been on 4chan forever but i only rarely get drawn to /soc/. so here's an observation. i keep seeing in threads "girls" saying they're not looking for men over 30 or whatever. this isn't a representation of the real world. first of all girls hardly know what the fuck they want unless a strong man tells them first, and also men get more attractive as they age. don't fall for the psyop. OP is probably a bot too so this is aimed at the lonely boys reading this. virginity is a treasure and the internet will only feed into your despair. all you have to do is not give in to despair and you can have a happy life. do the things that you know you need to do to improve, and don't take psyops on 4chan to heart

Finally, an actual good post from the wise.
>>
>>33587323
you didn't take the heavy and difficult decisions. The he hard to swallow kind of pills. For instance, let's say you want to learn to play the guitar at your age, you will have to ask a teacher younger than you for help, most likely from a course and surrounded by younger people. The problem? They will patronize or outright make fun of you for being you. For some old no life loser trying to learn a guitar in his 30s, and that will demotivate you to giving up. If you want to stop being a nobody you will have to put up with their behaviour and carry on, despite other people outright making it more difficult, despite it being potentially for nothing, despite you never being truly good at it. Despite all of that, and fucking doing it anyway for no reason, but a simple desire to get what you want and what you want is to learn how to play fucking guitar. If you can't get past that kind of hardship then you will forever be in your situation; in this uncomfortable comfort zone filled with shame and regret.
If you wish to avoid shame and guilt then you too bad, there is no way around it but through, you either take the punishment for your neglect straight to the face and get up or you will lay down for rest of your life
>>
>>33587219
Stop whining, if life that sucked that much you would have offed yourself a long time ago.
>>
>>33579966
Could be worse, I still look like I'm in my 20s, I was told I have the hairline of a child and not a completely deformed face or obesity. I successfully quit working and the alcohol drinking that came with it, lost a lot of weight in the progress, which I am still on as I set myself high goals for superior physical condition.

I may be ugly and lonely forever but still have a somewhat comfortable and warm home, lots of hardware, a highend phone, a working kitchen and bathroom, when I was actually 21 I was either homeless or always in conditions where I dreamt of returning to prison because the life standard there was higher than what I had to endure back then.
>>33580020
I love to do a lot of drugs but there is one simple rule, you only take those you can grow or harvest yourself. You need to earn them and it also gives a nice hobby.

It feels more like the life is just starting, I am much more experienced, calmer and more patient than my younger self. And I wouldn't want to deal with zoomers their "culture" is just horrible.
>>33587344
For me that is you will never have money but you don't need much either. If you dedicate yourself you can always find ways to afford whatever consumerist shit you desire. I don't envy the wagies, it would be nice to buy a RTX 5090 on launch but what is it worth when you don't have time to use it?
>>
>>33587918
>RTX 5090
and what for? modern games are kinda sucky and boring, plus you can play most titles on a used rtx 3080
>>
>>33589021
I want one and only play games that I could run without a gpu anyway. I just like cutting edge tech and playing around with it to see what I can push it to do. That said I'm probably not buying at launch in case there's some melting issue or something. Maybe I'll get a 4090 instead if the 5k cards make those drop on price. They will probably price it to avoid that though so I'll end up buying nothing lol. My point though is I can understand wanting one even though there is no practical reason to buy it.
>>
>>33580013
Kill yourself christfag

>>33579966
That shit is overrated. I've had a small taste of those things and that's all I needed.

Now that you're older you should really try to focus on health and fitness - you're only as old as you feel Anon.

I used to be in the same mindset but then I just started treated dating like sales. I just upfront ask them if they wanna go party or get to know each other, usually bring them flowers or something.

Obviously I try to do it to women that are initially kind or attractive to me.

If no, then I move on easy peasy. For every 100 or so, you get 1 that'll give you a chance.

Unironically if you have confidence issues or issues with rejection pick up a part time job as a sales person or lead generator and you'll get over "missing out" quick.

Now I spend my time talking to beautiful women and making them happy, laugh or go out on a date or two, some even developed into a relationship.

hope you find your way brother.
remember you can often find happiness in the service of others, and foster fulfilment by fostering it in others.

30 here

>My youth is gone.

Tragic, but now you get to experience your prime. Unless you've actually just sat around twiddling your thumbs doing nothing, your 30s are going to be a whole different ball game. I'm only a few months into my 30s and I'm loving it. Work is easier, earning money is easier, socializing and dating is easier. Really the only catch is my metabolism has slowed down a bit and I have to actually work out to stay fit. No big deal.

>No crazy nights out, drugs, roadtrips, world travelling, dating girls
18-22, it's all over.

As other anons have said, you're not really missing much by not doing drugs. Sure they're fun in the moment but they fuck up your brain and are an expensive habit to maintain. Plus, depending on the drug and its effects, usage can ruin your physical health, limit your career opportunities, destroy your relationships, and get you in some pretty serious legal trouble.

As far as partying and traveling, who says you can't do that now? The TSA won't flag you for trying to fly overseas in your 30s. Hell, my parents are in their 60s and have traveled all over in recent years. They're planning to go to Italy and France next year, and I'm planning a trip to Japan.

Finally, dating younger girls gets WAY easier in your late 20s to early 30s. Regardless of what people say, women love guys who are a bit older, more experienced, more mature, and more financially stable, while still being young enough to have muscles and a functioning pecker. You'll be just fine. If anything, you'll be better off now than you were five, ten years ago.

>I never got to do any of these things and now I'm too old.

"Too old" is a mindset, not a number. Sure your body will change and you will likely take on more responsibilities, but there's not some magical age barrier to having fun.
