Post papes with that nostalgic and cozy 2007 feel.I want back.
>>7694543man... if only.
the good times are over
they're just about to begin
>>7694637We can create new ones
>>7694540Man I used to just fuckin' stare at pictures like this all the time and imagine what having a girlfriend must be like. Amazing how looking back on it I'm just like "Bro you are 16 chill out" when back then it felt like the most important thing in the world
>>7694946will we, though? i've been optimistic these years but every "time" since the good times, has been a bad time
>>7695010did those feelings go away after you started dating someone, or do you hit a point in maturity/your life where you realize it doesn't really matter?i'm struggling hard dawg
>>7695010>>7695035It really is important.I didn't get a gf until after high school and I ruined it because of insecurity. She had been with other people, and had a high school romance with some wavy haired Chad. I felt like I couldn't compare.Being an autistic loser in high school really does make you miss out on some shit, one of those being a healthy relationship with women your age, because in high school if you aren't worthy of having a gf you may as well not exist.Money doesn't matter yet at that age, everything is about your genes. Its the most pure and brutal measure of a person straight out the gate of life. People can fix themselves later on, and I have, but those tough times remain a painful memory. Unfortunately many working class parents just don't have the skills or time to correct a child going down a wrong path. Its just sink or swim and if you succeed they are there to congratulate you. If not, tough luck kiddo.
Don't know why but this image makes me feel all soft and fuzzy of the 2000s

>>7695272Underrated post. 10/10 pape.
>>7695272thanks now i am using it
>>7695272based
>>7695035I found a good group of friends before I ever dated anyone and that is far more important IMO. Partially because they would take one look at a wall like that and be like "Bro that's mad corny"
>>7695060>Being an autistic loser in high school really does make you miss out on some shitBeing an autistic loser just makes you an autistic loser and that's pretty much it you're not missing out on anything. I don't know what sold you the story that growing up in those years you should have a girlfriend or whatever... neither I did not many others and none of us were autists. We all turned out pretty good so it's really only a problem is you make it one.Just my two cents, life is always greener on the other side. The guy with a boring life and job that gets to go home at the end of his shift to his wife wishes he was free to go out to party and do whatever the fuck he wants and the guy that fucks whores, does drugs and goes out partying, lives "the life" makes good money in a volatile industry wishes he'd come home after a boring 9-5 to his wife... it's all the same.Truth is there's no sure way for happiness. People spend their whole lives searching for it. They chase dreams, addictions, other people, religions, anything that will fill the emptiness and they never do. So just find whatever the fuck works for you and go with it don't measure yourself up to others.
>>7695860>Being an autistic loser just makes you an autistic loser and that's pretty much it you're not missing out on anything. I don't know what sold you the story that growing up in those years you should have a girlfriend or whatever... neither I did not many others and none of us were autists. We all turned out pretty good so it's really only a problem is you make it one.Look man, I get that it feels better to try and convince yourself that no, you did not miss out on anything by not having a gf at that age. It's hard to accept the painful reality of realizing you missed out on a great deal. It's a whole cadre of feelings, some good some bad, of course a lot are "juvenile" and immature, in retrospect. It makes sense one would be immature at that age, considering ...well, they ARE that age. Anyway. No one is saying it's not the be-end-all of existence to have missed out on teenage romance. There are so many other things in life. But that doesn't change the fact that if you didn't do this, then yes, you did miss out. It is special and intimate and amazing and heartbreaking. Sure you can get by in life fine without doing it, but it's like beating an RPG only to realize you missed out on a huge content-rich early game storyline that would have changed your perspective and understanding of the rest of the game dramatically.
>>7694540
>>7695860I can agree with you on that. Some people are not ready to settle down when they are younger. Females should be, but men are not due to biological differences. Men take time to mature and find out what they want to do. Some figure it out early and some figure it out at 35 quickly which is normal for men. The one thing i can tell you is that as someone who is 30 and has had a small fling during their teenage years you are not missing out on much. >>7696096>Love is specialNot really it's nothing more than biological chemical reactions, sex is glorified masturbation. It means a lot during hormonal teenage years, but it's not anything significant as you make it out to be with the 2deep4u thing. >it's like beating an RPG only to realize you missed out on a huge content-rich early game storyline that would have changed your perspective and understanding of the rest of the game dramatically.It's exactly the opposite. It's a DLC and has no bearing on the main game of life. Procreation matters sure, but love, jobs they come and go, but experiences are varied and eternal especially with exploration of music, food, and culture.
>>7695243We are all faggots and lolli's here.
>>7695033sometime soon we will look back at this as the good times
>>7696190We are in the bad times, soon will come the good times. It's cyclical.
>>7694540Remember when we could laugh at anything and everything without resorting to politics? The Internet remembers.
>>7694637Oh look a lolli.
>>7696222Classic. That brings me back.
>>7694540The world doesn't care about how young or weak you are. Man up or die.
>>7694540if anything that reminds me of tumblr 09-12which I miss a lot
>>7694540It's been 13 years bro, log off.
>>7696218We could easily return. Social Media fucked everything over.
>>7697015Absolutely. Everyone warned on all the boards those who posted Twitter, E-Celebs, normalfag shit, it would cause this kind of cancer to spread everywhere and it did. Because a few groups of people wanted to feel important and that they could change the world than make them laugh at random shit.
>>7696988(You) seem to have a problem with this concept of "forever." It's a much longer time than (You) seem to think it is.
>>7696058Cringe
>>7696096My first teenage relationship was a very special and magical time for me, but if it wasn't then it would have happened later because ,probably like you, I like to attach dramatic sentimental significance to shit like that. But why limit that significance to an arbitrary age? Any relationship or event can deeply affect you at any point in your life. You cynical fuck.
>>7697322Why, tho?
>>7696096You seem to be an honest enough chap, so I'll spare you the derogatory name-calling and profanities. I'm in my early 20s, and absolutely regret engaging in the "youthful bliss" of immature romance. It was abysmal, in fact if I could wind back the clock and do something differently, I would have never gotten into a relationship. Contrary to all the Hollywood depictions of "love at first sight" leading on to "marriages", that's far from the truth. Besides all the mounting insecurities shared between my partner and I, I wasn't "in love", just blatantly horny. And horny teenagers make self-destructive decisions. Beneath the cadre of feelings, as you put it, was an underlying sense of superficiality. I knew that, we both did. And yet I was so intoxicated with these aforementioned feelings that I failed to snap out of it despite my partner's gradually worsening character (she would threaten me with self-harm when I was not complicit with her plans to have a "romantic get together" on a certain day for instance). Eventually, it devolved into sheer contempt and ultimately I lost my friends (because I had not spent time with them as a friend SHOULD), and she started ensnaring my reputation with rumors of mistreatment. So as consequence, I fucked up my high school days because of this relationship.Your analogy of an RPG fits here too. It drastically shifted my perspective of relationships and romance in general. There's the character-building, not exactly a positive experience imo. So if I had remained an "autist", I would not have been disheartened but understood to de-prioritise relationships because they AREN'T important at all but an obstacle to success. So no anons, you're not missing out on anything, but unnecessary insecurities and relentless fights.

>>7695272thank you for this
2008 close enough?
>>7696058gringe
>>7695010I used to have this from about 16 to about mid thirties. Then it goes away.
>>7698192That is kind of sad. I think it's just due to the times we are living in.
>>7697015Social Media was a mistake. I wish we just sent people back by posting gore porn, cp, and various other things again.
>>7695060The main goal you should have now is to make sure you raise your future kids, specially the boys properly and become the father that your own man wasn't able to.
>>7696096You'll feel like you missed out on teenage love if that's the one thing you've always wanted growing up. For me personally I never experienced teenage love and all it's drama and grandeur but I don't feel like I missed out on anything because at that age all i wanted was to play stupid shit with my bros. At the end of the day the feeling of missing out on something boils down to the person and how much they've wanted it.
>>7698440I was an autistic loser at the beginning of high school... Then half way through I got a decent looking girlfriend. Then I became an autistic loser with a girlfriend.It wasn't worth it... wish I would of spent more time working on my skills or hanging out with friends.
>>7695272How did you get your 4chan to look like that?
>>7695035Both for me. I'm mid-20s so not that old but I struggled a lot with various feelings in high school and most of them seem extremely unimportant now. I got a girlfriend a couple of years into college and we are still together. Firstly, you'll still be the same person when you have a gf as you are now so its good to realize things wont get *that* much better on their own and you have to work on yourself. And secondly there really is no rush - you'll find someone eventually, almost everyone does at least once, and even if it takes a long time your emotional maturity at age 18 is extremely different than just a few years after 18 so you'll move past those enormous feeling late-teenage struggles no matter what happens.So yeah, tl;dr, the struggles of young adulthood will not always seem so important and that's a very good thing.

been around since 2008. its been a hell of a ride
>>7697570>So no anons, you're not missing out on anything, but unnecessary insecurities and relentless fights.I agree with this anon. I ended up finding someone who I really do love and can trust, but by the time she came into my life I had been single for two years after being totally burnt out trying to find love. 90% of what I got out of those other relationships was misery and autism. Some of them were big social upsets in my own life while others were just those small, painful things. I got some funny stories to tell out of it, but more than anything I began to appreciate being by myself. I would argue that the sense of isolation and ennui in the fallout of that was more enjoyable than the relationship themselves at a certain point. Than I can go on 4chan and post le ebin bladerunner 2049 memes.

>>7695860it's not always an "always greener" situation. Sure there are happy autists and miserable chads, but more often than not perpetual loneliness and exclusion aren't conducive to mental health. The more well adjusted you are early on, the better skills you have to not end up lonely and friendless when you're older.The biggest difference is in having options. A friendless loser doesn't have the option to so easily find a wife and live an idyllic day job. He'll have trouble even attracting one girl, much more so than some guy who got all the partying out of his system and is free to settle down with no regrets on wasted youth. A crazy party life may leave you hungover more often than not, but it also leaves you socially adjusted, with a strong social support system and no nagging complexes or insecurities.Before you spout some coping platitude about happiness being a perpetually elusive mirage that evades well adjusted and poor adjusted people alike, try to understand that just because a popular jock can have a bad day doesn't his life is just as bad as the kids he bullies.But I know that people will be drawn to agree with you because, more than anything, autistic losers want to be reassured that their lives aren't any more miserable than anyone else's. The comfort of that lie is far more valuable than the truth of knowing that the world beyond your lonely room feels the greatest pleasure in not sharing your rare misery.

>>7697570i did not make very many regretable choices in high school and never had a relationship. it was not because i couldn't. i don't regret it and yet at the same time i do feel that i missed out.I had a good high school experience. and yet i know its possible it could have been better if i managed to have a healthy relationship with a crush (4chan autists will say this is impossible). On the other side, inside that fantasy if what could have been is the real fact that i could have been hurt, or at the very least my life would be very different and I'm quite happy with the way things are now. it's a real yin-yang type deal.
>>7695010>>7695060>>7695860>>7696096>>7696143>>7697570>>7721328Damn I came for a pape, not all these feels. You all have great points and insight that I perceive has come from a lot of pain and introspection. I'm soon turning 30 and what I've realized recently is that finding something you're passionate about is far more important than finding a gf. High school romance or not, having a purpose for existing is far more important. I'm going through my 4th existential crisis now. I've tried so many avenues to find happiness. I've gone to college 3 times. I've worked a bunch of dead end jobs. I've tried several hobbies, tried to lose myself in relationships with girls. I've studied various religions and philosophies. Lived on my own, lived with partners, lived with friends, lived with parents. Tried joining the military. Everything I tried I found no fulfillment. I just feel like I have no purpose for existing. I don't know how to be happy. So to all the guys that are self flagellating because they're single or missed out on high school romance: finding a purpose is more important. You should strive to do something that makes you happy and gives you a way to survive. The girl will come as a result of that. Girls are attracted to passion and they can tell when you're doing something you love. But if you're moping around feeling sorry for yourself working at Walmart or some other soul crushing job like that, no girl is going to be drawn to you. I had a girlfriend for 6 months in my freshman year of high school, then spent the rest of my high school days single. Having a girlfriend or not isn't the issue. The real thing you should be worried about is finding something that makes you happy and ideally makes you money too. Idek what I'm saying at this point. But it's 4chan so I'll post anyway.
>>7695033>will we, though? i've been optimistic these years but every "time" since the good times, has been a bad timeI think the atrocious experiences of "MAGA" and Covid may change people's values. When both are behind us we'll find the values developed societies have changed: more love of the outdoors, travel, eating out, live performances. Less emphasis on watching shit on a screen at home. Less emphasis on "owning" the other side of the political divide, more on seeing what progress we can still make across that divide. A human race that finds beauty in our common and extremely diverse humanity.

Sorry about not posting with a picture today, but life just isn't fair. I always came to these threads, it's been over 8 years now almost that I've been here. I almost killed myself, got sick enough to die and when I had enough I met the love of my life. A couple of weeks ago she said we didn't have a future, we could be friends. 3 years of memories that will forever be mine, and a future that I so desperately sought - gone forever.I said yes, let's be friends, that's the thing, letting go of hope is hard, I know eventually she'll find love again, I don't really think I will. Even if I do, it won't be the same first time, it won't be laying in the field at 3 AM looking at the stars. It won't be just us and a future of endless possibilities, and yet, in this city, I wonder how many more carry on with their hears shattered, bound by responsibilities. I don't know what to say, I feel lonely. I want to hug someone close and not let her go, but I can't anymore.

>>7729110eh, right idea but bad execution
>>7723090Yeah I can agree with the fact 8 was great after the GG Exodus. The problem was though they gatekeeped too hard on disagreements or those who had a different opinion in regards to viewpoints which ended up in a ton of bans and lead into a Lord Of The Flies situation. I am glad to mention though 8ch Moe exists as a spin off from 8 and it has a Lolli board. Some relaxed rules as well.
>>7696112>yeh... i'm just a lucky guy
>>7729808How lucky?
>>7695860not gonna read it all im sry, but i read the first paragraph and i agree.life is about living it, nothing more than thatif you are ok with the way you are living, then it is finei do believe we should be the best versins of ourselves, but that is my philosophy, if you are content with your life than be happyafter all, the neighbors grass will always be greener
>>7724890go away and plis not come back
>>7697570i figured that out too, i mean, if you think about it makes no sense at all, it makes no sense to start a relationship you cant sustain, or to fall in love with someone you don't know.i also "missed out" on the youth bliss, but mi very happy i did so, i have a gf and will marry her as soon as i get a job again, we are together for 5 years and boy, it was amazing, way better than anything that could have ever happen with those "crushs" at high school
>>7727178pretty much summed up all good post anonmost things about growing and self improvement i follow say the same as you, it is way more important to focus on you, when you have yourself sorted finding women becomes another detail in your life, nothing to worry about.
