Lifting as an escape

>anyone else the same?

yeah almost every one here is like that.

I don't believe most people here are in their mid twenties with no friends and have never had a gf

Yeah maybe if he was 18 and he was saying that

this is fit, most guys here are tall, ripped, studying or working in engineering/computer science/law school/medical school super smart and rich as well with tons of girlfriends/sex and friends

Nobody cares how old you are. Just do it and you will succeed.
>No one wants to employ someone old (25+) with no experience at a professional job.
No one wants to employ anyone with no experience. Find internships just like the younger people do.
The only thing stopping you from not being a lazy piece of shit is you.

I've done unpaid internships and research projects when I was a student. They didnt lead to anything. I would love to do an unpaid internship but I have living expenses to pay now that I am not a student anymore. Not saying it's impossible but it's not that easy.

>no experience
>I've done unpaid internships and research projects
It sounds like you're just making excuses. Who are you trying to convince that you're stuck? Me or you? You're just afraid to change your life.

I'm making it clear to you that not everybody is as fortunate as you. I'm okay with my life except for the lack of money. I made the immature mistake if getting a degree I don't even use and I understand it's my responsibility to find a way to pay off the debt. Thanks for putting things in perspective though.

OP I'm in your position as well but likely much worse off than you

>25 almost 26
>kissless virgin no gf ever
>no friends since 12-13 years old
>work shit paying wageslave job because i got a college degree but cant get into competitive grad school programs but i have decent amount of money saved up anyway
>live at home with parents, merely a shut in besides work
>feel like even if by some miracle i did wander into being even somewhat normal and gained friends, a girlfriend, etc, my entire wasted life would still haunt me and would fuck up everything anyway

>this new to Veeky Forums
Welcome, get comfortable, you won't be leaving.

Btw OP, let me 1up you on sucking at life, maybe it will make you feel better.

No GF
No friends
Rarely had any social interaction at all
Failed uni, twice
Can't hold anything but wageslave simpleton jobs
Consume large amounts of vidya and anime, echi SoL dramas included
I have an alcohol problem
I have a coke problem
I have an MDMA problem.

My existence is lifting, going to job, coming home, eating, watching all the new anime episodes that have aired, playing some vidya, fall asleep while browsing the chins. Rinse repeat. I am now 28, I have been living like this for the last 4,5 years now.

I just feel like I've missed out on too much now to ever be normal

Compared to most of earth's population this is simply not true.

You have 30+ year old afghanis coming to Europe starting successful life's after having done nothing with their lives but herd a handful of goats then being forced to flee after the local imam told the local talibanman that he was the guy who warned a Dutch patrol of the IED on the road.

I honestly the problem is tat expectations are simply to high. Most people aren't going to be super rich rockstars banging hot chicks ever other day, most people just sort of stumble through life.

Im 27 khv too, college degre, no friends , work in a gas station at nigth

Learn to love your life bro, love your hobies. you dont have to prove anything to anyone

>28
>no friends
>no gf
>warehouse job

This is why I hit the gym 6 days a week. So I don't have time to get depressed.

Chances are that 30 year old afghani would be able to entertain an entire bar all night with his stories of growing up in Afghanistan in a war zone and all the life experiences and lessons he's had

This. Don't you know that this forum is filled with only the best of the best of the worlds young people?

Seriously though, that shit is obnoxious as fuck. I wish people didn't feel the need to so blatantly e-stat about fucking everything, half of our degree or job threads are people claiming to be in medicine (I don't count pre-med as anything, they're just kids who want to do medicine eventually) or some other form of highly competitive post grad study.

who's the whore?

>not paying for escorts
what the fuck are you even doing?

Damn sorry to hear user. Try kicking the drugs tho

>live at home with parents

fucking kill yourself.

>free board
>meals
>HAVING FUCKING FAMILY

so yea go fucking die and stfu about having literally first world problems you sack of shit

Looks like Adriana Lima.

Why don't you just get some friends and get laid?

You okay? You need to go lift or fuck someone to deal with that internet anger?

Besides the fact that I'm 24 years old virgin, antisocial and boring guy?
>have a family
>kept a few friends I care about
>own a flat that I inherited from an aunt and some savings
>failed studies twice
>but now finishing an civil engineer degree
>got the first job in my field
I'm definitely not living my life to the fullest but I'm comfy with it.
The most important thing is why the fuck would I care if the way I live comes to terms with someone's else definition of happy/successful life? All the above falls into categories normalfags rate. Not having a girlfriend, 7 digit salary or an eventful life doesn't make you a failure.

This. We all look at success stories from people who had their academic way already behind them with 23 and felt like losers if you just start with 23 and fail one or two semester, but we must remember that these are exceptions and not the rule, most people in their 20s have no fucking Idea what they should do and have a existential crisis. There are people who never worked in their life until they were 33-35 and they still got their shit together and got a Job.

Please Anons, remember this before you do anything stupid, we are all in the same boat and we all gonna make it at some point.

they live in saudi prince's bathrooms

mouths wide open

Adriana Lima pic just remotivated me BC I'm about to go on an hour long Google image creepfest

save money, quit your job.
go on a 6month trip around the world.
this way you expose yourself and you have to talk to strangers. you'll get more and more comfortable doing this.
after 6 months=> social skills ++
confidence ++
make new friends and find a better job.

Adriana Lima is a top tier Victoria's secret model and internationally famous, with plenty of revenue from mascot deals and such. I mean she probably whores herself out still, but she wouldn't let a saudi shit on her for a measly 50k.

there is a mf out there who is sick of her shit...dang

that isnt adriana lima you faceblind autist

Wrong. Most of Afghanistan wasn't and still isn't a warzone.
Besides, are you really trying to tell me you are envious of the horrors of war? I have spoken to several Afghani people who were directly in the path of war, none of them want to talk about it, none them consider it "cool life experience", every single one of them would have traded that experience for a life of "not achieving a whole lot" in the west.

This is like wanting butch' or sundance's life because the movie made it look cool and exciting, but then when you actually get to live it you find out 95% was being miserably on the run and it all ending in a miserable death.

Sad to hear that. Dont look to the past and despair, look to the future and have hope. Find something meaningful to commit to. Make a plan of longterm goals. Break those into short-term goals. Then break those into weekly goals. Continue breaking down your goals until they consist of simple to-do action. Good luck!

Same here. But I'm too lazy to count macros.

My mistake. She honestly looks super similar in that pic. Not in any other one of her i saw on google, but in OPs I swear she looks incredibly similar.

Same boat as you, including drugs which fucked my nose up permanently and visibly. Now I keep to myself, study and lift every day to tire myself out so I can sleep instead of drinking to sleep which I used to do.

I'm 36 and never really had a girlfriend. I generally move on after a couple dates because it isn't worth the investment once you know you don't mesh.

I do have friends

youtu.be/RBXZlYdiizk

Just move to a difderent state and work or something. Do something risky, if you mess up just go back to being a wage slave

So she is Indian.

so wait, you want a distraction from your empty life?

lift so it will complement your life, not so you can escape it.

Was like you at 23(virgin, friendless, lived at home but didn't even talk to parents) except no job, studying.

Now at 27 I got my degree (mech engineer), have ~5 friends but we mostly hang out at homes smoking weed and playing hearthstone arena. Had 2 long term girlfriends (a 6,5 and a 7,5) and fucked 3 other fluzzies. Now starting work with good money and dating a tall blonde blue eyed girl who makes me melt. I only started lifting 1 y ago and I don't even squat my body weight but doing good and looking much much better.

I also had same fear, even if I "pretend" to be normal people will realize or wonder what I have been doing in my life. But I have opened up to my friends,parents, even some of the girls and they have no problem with it.

People call me an autist all the time (since being a recluse either made me behave like one or I have always been and it was holding me back dunno). Yet since now I am happy and good looking (lost 45lbs of fat and cleaned up well) it is just a quirk, I have become eccentric, and not the weird kid with his anime, rubik's cubes, video games and juggling that people used to point out and avoid.

I am still learning and dealing with baggage but it's never too late!!!

are you guys serious or is this a meme ? because fresh out of university I have a fulltime job lined up that is paying well. maybe I am just smart or lucky but it doesnt seem hard to get a job if you studied in a STEM field.

I study something I don't really enjoy, I have zero friends and there's only one person in uni I sometimes chat a little bit with. Got a part time job twice a week which I enjoy since it's usually just me without other people and a ton of books.

Lifting is a great way to vent stress and feel somewhat good about yourself, and the best part is that you get tired enough to just sleep. Being able to lie down and just sleep is the biggest blessing for me.

Couldnt agree more but I still feel like shit regardless.

I'm in pretty happy place now and studying profession I'm passionate about. Still sometimes visit Veeky Forums because I like this place.

It's all between your ears, learn to appreciate yourself and start doing things for you. I've been there and I know you will make it.

I also doubt that it's "most", but I wouldn't be particularly shocked if it were like 20% or so.

27 in a month with 50k in the hole for a useless lib arts degree, nearly friendless, haven't gotten laid for like 5 years, but at least I'm not a virgin and I like to workout

This.
Also as recently entered into sex, Im glad I used my incelcyears to work on my mind spirit body. Now I overshadow most of ppl in any way u name it. Pussy aint that special. Lack of it is, its what gave me my absolutely insane drive to own all. Also nofap>all

>paying for sex
Kys

Not him but, I'd buy the time of a relatively low mileage and attractive escort.

I'm going to be honest. I'm terrible with people, I'm a bad talker unless I'm completely drunk or just lying my ass off.
That's on top of the body image issues, which is why I'm on Veeky Forums most of the time.
I have an unreasonably large dick andif I want to just fuck the shit out of something and bust a nut or two... I don't want to spend any time on foreplay/dirty talk to get a girl who's smaller(and they are almost always smaller) ready for it.
if I just want to fuck, just completely ruin a bitch without even thinking about consequences, here getting off and being a bit more agressive then usual.
I don't want to go slow. I don't want to go shallow. I want to go balls deep and I want to fuck her half to death.
And since there's no hope of either of us catching feels or anything romantic. Bonus.

Get it?

likely part of some arab's harem in dubai

you wouldn't believe the shit they do to be a part of them

is he dare i say the king of Veeky Forums?

keep it up my man proud of u

Dude I don't even know, I'm not the type that prefers companionship but renting escorts is like renting a fucking ferrari for an hour, its just waste of money, just wank off at home its cheaper and better

>depressed
> falling for the depression meme

Yes, except I'm an autistic NEET and have quit/been fired from all my jobs.

for every hot girl, there is a dude that's tired of fucking her

fits pretty well aside from
>rich/tons of girlfriends/sex and friends

do they stay there? or just come when getting paid

Doesn't matter how old you are. What matters in professional and social success is that people like you. It is literally the biggest thing in terms of being successful.

Don't be a doormat or too eager to please though. Think about the people around you who everybody likes and emulate their attitude. (Not the trivial shit, like whatever they like but how they treat people, how they respond to things and their disposition.)

Girl joined our office recently, mid thirties, surrounded by bitchy women, happy attitude everybody was scrambling to help her get another job and be her friend when her contract ended.

Dude, I've perfected the art of jacking off to the point where I can edge for days
I can cum when I want how hard I want and pump out as much semen as I want.
I can even have hundred of nonstop chain non ejaculatory orgasms if I wanted.

I want a woman like the girl in the OP naked wet and ready. I want to smell taste hear and feel her.
I want fuck her like I'm trying to find her soul by jackhammering through her cervix.
I want to play her like a grand piano, deftly expertly and make her belt out any tune, then come back later with a sledge hammer and pound on the keys and make her scream out an ungodly horrifying racket before the lights go out.

In short, I want a fucking woman.
Fuck it, I think I need to go back to hermit mode and re-learn self control.
