Tfw 23

I was miserable at 23. Now at 27, I'm happier than I've ever been in my life. Flip that shit around, OP.

this dude is 35, you can still make it till you're like 40.
Just start adding a little test and hgh at one point to stay young and lean.

Oh wells

what the fuck are you talking about?
Buakaw aged like SHIT in the past 5 years
and also he already made it by like age 19 when he became world champion of multiple muay thai and kickboxing orgs

who gives a shit when he made it and how many dudes he beat up, this is about physique only and I think he looks pretty good for a 35 year old

>this is about physique only
No.. it's not
Making it has nothing to do with physique, if you think it's only about how your body looks then you will never make it. You'll be another gym rat.

This

>Veeky Forums
why here for stupid life advice, gym has nothing to do with making it in that case.

>completely misses the point
>even posts someone who made it before 23
anyone after age 23 can take roids to look good retard

I'm 20 and feel like this

>22
yeah i know this feeling, i only started lifting a few months ago.
Wasted my teen years being a fat fuck while others play sports and grow healthy

feel*
stupid phone

I'm 23 too, and I know this feeling. But we need to remember a very real fact: we are extremely young in terms of age, and we only feel this way because we are finally making the transition from highschool/college youthfulness to the 'real world'

Life is just starting, dont blink and be 28 and think "fuck, why did I even think that way at 23? i was young as fuck" etc etc 28 to 38, 38 to 48 etc

Lol women run out of time, men are immortal

Hopefully we’ll make it one day, brah, hopefully....

Ultimately men are immortal but they have a limited amount of time to reach personal perfection which leads to immortality. A women can only become immortal by the side of a personally perfected man in her life.

This desu. I've basically done nothing with my life and have had no social life so I'm trying to "catch up" at least a little. My brother is 24 and is even more fucked up because he has legitimate aspergers so I worry for both of us.

God I wish I was just a fucking normie.

I don't think you need to be even close to anything perfect to become "immortal"
There's lots of ways you can force yourself into the pages of history

I wonder if you're talking about me

I was a loser all my life and at 30 y-o, decided I had enough. I made it a 1 year later. In that year I went to the gym 6x a week, and each session included 30mins of cardio

Why did you go against your efforts to make it tho

I wouldn’t be if my hair wasn’t disappearing I know what it feels like to be 25+ woman

I'm 24, it only gets worse. I feel like I already haven't made it. Don't know if I could be better than now.

As you approach 30 and increase your wealth and influence, your value on the sexual market increases, while that of women around you diminishes.
I am now 24, financially very stable (IT) and I find myself surrounded by thirsty 20 year olds and I'm basically pic related. Emotionallly I'm their age (basically did nothing but work and play video games since 20) so we connect in a certain way
We're all gonna make it

Why do you people think there's an age limit to happiness?

Mid 40s here. And no, I've never felt that. Making it right now, so what's your excuse, you entitled millennial? Get off muh damn lawn.

I worked with guys in their early/mid-20s who were having a mini midlife crisis and were complaining they missed out on life.
It's weird.

>40 years old
>posting on Veeky Forums
>making it

you kids have no idea
you have 70+ years left to live.
you can look good and muscular well into your 80s with good diet and genetics.
you can be ripped and bigger than any normie well into your 70s
you can suddenly decide to roid and attempt to go pro, and win a Mr Olympia in your 30s/40s.
you can change your career at age 40 and retire at 65 with 25 years in your new career.
you have so much fucking time ahead of you stop being so miserable and acting like people die at 30

I feel you bro. Wasted my teens being that shy kid and playing videogames. Im just 20 so it's still not too late for me, but damn, I feel so behind compared to the rest of people, and have this perpetual "I need to catch up" anxiety.

We can still make it brah, let's work hard for our goals

25 here, and yeah I feel like that as well. I thought I was gonna make this year my best year for recovery.
Then my step-brother died, and my world crumbled beneath my feet. I'm picking myself up over the methaphorical rubble, but it just got tough for me. I'm living up to what he told me though and returned to working out recently. I'm nearing breaking 250 VERY soon and looking to lose at least 10 pounds before working my summer job, where I'm more disciplined on my diet and I'm always active.
I'll make it, bros. I know the rest of you will too.

this desu senpai

Brah, you can make it 'til you die. You got nothing to worry about.

>you have 70+ years left to live.
No guarantee
>you can look good and muscular well into your 80s with good diet and genetics.
True, unless some sickness or handicap is going to come over you, which is quite possible at that ge
>you can be ripped and bigger than any normie well into your 70s
Same as above
>you can suddenly decide to roid and attempt to go pro, and win a Mr Olympia in your 30s/40s.
Most likely fucking not
>you have so much fucking time ahead of you stop being so miserable and acting like people die at 30
Some people do, user. Any number of screws can come undone, at any time, really

Because they don't know how to live in the now.

That's more of an insult to Veeky Forums than to me. And you're here. So you insulted yourself.
AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAHA IDIOT KID!

I dont remember posting in this thread

>stop being so miserable and acting like people die at 30

Fuckers think this is "Logan's Run" or something.

>turn 24 recently
>last year before I hit the wall

it was nice knowing you all

>you have 70+ years left to live.
>No guarantee

Then what fucking difference does it make about making it then? When you're dead you're dead. Regardless of what belief you hold or don't hold, it's over. If there is life after that, then you still make it anyway. Your concern for materialistic and ego feeding bullshit is over.

This. At 23 I went back to school, now I'm about to start working at a high paying engineering firm

>you have 70+ years left to live.
No guarantee - with this attitude, why attempt anything ever?
>you can look good and muscular well into your 80s with good diet and genetics.
True, unless some sickness or handicap is going to come over you, which is quite possible at that ge - same with the first answer, plan on being healthy, eat and live a lifestyle that promotes this kind of health and your chances of being an active 80-90 year old increase substantially.
>you can be ripped and bigger than any normie well into your 70s
Same as above - same as above
>you can suddenly decide to roid and attempt to go pro, and win a Mr Olympia in your 30s/40s.
Most likely fucking not - I was aiming high, most likely not is the answer to anyone anywhere ever being Mr olympia. The oldest Mr olympia was Christ dickerson at age 43, and that was his one and only olympia. would he have won if he thought "Oh im too old, i cant win" ?? dont think so
>you have so much fucking time ahead of you stop being so miserable and acting like people die at 30
Some people do, user. Any number of screws can come undone, at any time, really - same as first response.

23 too, feel like i hit the wall hard. Don't know what i want anymore

Hi OP

I'm 25. I stupidly and I repeat STUPIDLY thought that using the methods of the pick up artists is what it took to get girls.

Deep down, I wanted a quick and easy method because hot girls didn't really like me (6.5 appearance). It was not until I lived in a house where my roommates were lifters and had access to easy pussy that I started lifting myself. I spent about a year spinning circles in the gym not knowing what the fuck I was doing. Now I am finally on a strength program making gains each week and once this ends I will do a strength + hypertrophy program.

I am also saving up money to get some minor aesthetic work done - such as voluma injections for my weak chin. I think I can go from 6.5 to 7.5 in appearance. I am also getting over a minor std I got from fucking an ugly slut a few months ago (HPV it goes away on its own but takes months). So I am out of the dating pool for a few months.

I've also had psoriasis my whole life and because of my experimentation with supplements it is finally going away.

Between saving for a house, voluma, getting over this std, getting over psoriasis, getting a bump up in my job after a 4 month training stint that starts in the fall, and getting big, I don't plan on "making it" until next year probably by spring at the very soonest.

Honestly it sucks where I am right now BUT I think if I keep my head down, things will work out. I've missed out on a lot of young pussy. However, I know my weak spots and have an actionable plan to improve them. It took 25 years but I at least know what to do now and have the ability to act on it. I have a good career and a solid foundation just wish I had realized it was about appearance and not pick up lines.

This 26 and even though shits falling apart around me I feel on top of the fucking world. I think the older you get the more of an idgaf attitude you get. I know I was a bitch at 23

I'm not talking about history or the physical realm

stop wanting things you dont have and enjoy what you have.
do you have a fucking magical device in front of you that can give you any amount of information you desire?
yes
thats fucking cool as tits.
you have an engineering degree if read correctly
you didnt graduate with a 4.0 from harvard.
who fucking cares? ive never had my gpa on a resume and you know how many times ive been asked about my gpa?
not
fucking
once
get some CNC experience, let it be known in that company that you have an engineering degree and you want to work your way up if possible.
if not possible, leave and try it somewhere else with your new experience
you arent going to graduate and make 100k in your dream job right out of college.
that is very rare, despite what anecdotal evidence here will tell you

loled hard at the part where you called your parents neurotic, like dude look at what you wrote.

But like what do you want to do? what are your goals? what do you want out of life? what was your degree in?

>was a straight A student in high school
>was in multiple honor societies, yadda yadda
>still hated my life back then too, and was a socially unaccomplished loser, but I was at least driven by my parents and teachers and coaches constantly promising me since elementary school that hard work and dedication would paid off in the long run, and that it would make me happy in life
>instead, after I got into college and accepted, parents demand that I do a STEM degree since "that's what I'm good at love doing"
>no matter how explicitly I tried to explain to them that I absolutely hate everything related to STEM in academic settings and only took advanced courses in high school so that I could get into a good college and then pursue a degree related to my actual passion
>parents know fuck all about STEM, but being boomers who got well paying jobs back in the early 80s with their fucking communications degrees, they fervently believe that I have a "natural talent" for it, when I absolutely do not
>so I went to school for a STEM degree that they ended up only barely paying partly for, and I failed so many classes so badly that it took me five years to graduate with a degree that is effectively worthless because of how horrific my transcript looks
>now making $9/hr and barely making car and student payments each month and putting away next to no money, despite spending on literally nothing other than car and school loans

Kept telling myself that if I could just finish out the degree my parents wanted me to do I could nab a decent paying but fairly low effort tech job that could then serve to fund my pursuit of my real aspirations.

Unfortunately, turns out that all my hard work before college and my dream of going to school to do what I loved was the only thing holding my crippling depression and anxiety in check. Going to school for STEM shattered that dream, and unleased the floodgates of self hate and sulking, and thus the complete evaporation of my work ethic.

What you do at age 30 is what you're going to be doing for the rest of your life. The only way to find any meaning to life at that age is to have a kid with the first fat bitch you see.

worst advice ive ever seen lol

Fellow psorisis bro here. What supplements do you take?

Shouldn't have listened to your parents m8.

You need to show them you're high status with your attitude, style and body. They're not gonna magically know you're a millionaire and even if they do if you're not alpha af they're just gonna take advantage of you for your money. Guys like that end up in sexless marriages and get half their shit taken. Also have hair and don't be a manlet.

but like seriously this

Immortal women exist but are rare. Marie Curie for example is immortal.

i think you are thinking of henrietta lacks

You run out of time to make it when you're dead or dying. There are plenty of old cunts who don't start lifting until they're up in their 70s and they're able to make it. Stop negative thinking. You can be a sick cunt if you put in the effort but you have to put in the effort regardless of what (you think) limits you.

I'm in a similar boat except I'm 28 (JUST). Slowly I'm trying to improve my life but it's HARD at this age. First thing you need to do is get some direction with regards to your career or job - either go back to school, look into a trade, get a truck driving license, or find a better job. I work a shit retail job as well but I'm still in school so it's not THAT bad.

Regarding the failed classes - there's nothing you can do now unless you retake them. Just move on and try to up your GPA as best you can if you decide to go back to school. Pick a major that's practical and won't kill your soul for you to do for most of your life - unfortunately the both of us are past the age of having the luxury of picking something we love to do.

Lastly is regarding other people - you WILL need contacts of some sort to successfully navigate through life. Obviously you don't need to be a social butterfly, but a few good friends will be vital for your mental health and motivation. I remember not having a single person to talk to, wouldn't leave the house for days at a time, etc - I had no motivation whatsoever to do well in school and fucking bombed a few classes. Same shit regarding work.

One more important thing - STOP comparing yourself to others your age. Most of my old hs classmates have high end careers, spouses, and kids meanwhile I have none of those. You won't even come close to satisfied with your life if you keep comparing yourself to others - just acknowledge yourself as a late bloomer and carry on. Good luck.

I've planned out my finances before, and I would barely need to make 35k/year, if even that, to live happily in exactly the same degree of comfort that I currently live. I don't care about money, since I pretty much only ever spend money on food and loan payments. I just want to do what I actually love doing. I don't even care if I would be doing my exact dream job, I just want to be in the right field of work and heading in the generally right direction.

I've been trying for the past year to get better at programming and the subject I majored in, and to try to do some kind of project that I can throw on my resume, but I am just so fucking awful at all of it. I could do the advanced physics and calc classes in high school just fine, but real, junior and senior year undergrad physics and math is a fucking monstrosity. It's like I'm trying to dig through a concrete wall by repeatedly smashing my head against it. I'm pretty sure I passed enough classes to graduate out of sheer luck, and now I can't for the life of me teach myself enough new material to make myself look semi-employable.

I fucking know. Wish I had dropped out freshman year and just gone to some shitty cheap art school and sailed through it just to get the degree I wanted and a bit of professional insight into the field of work I'm chasing after.

Writing. Which I've actually had a fair amount of success in, but wanted to go to school for so that I would have the opportunity to beef up my skills and interact with professionals in the field.

Taking the GREs later this year and applying to go back to school. That and everything else always just feels like too little too late though, even when it ends up working out. It's soul crushing.

I'm 23 and I feel like I'm actually starting to make it, finished a very good Degree which I really didn't like and took every ounce to get it over the line. Been studying for a standardised exam to get into a good masters, its going well, so should be starting one in September. Also Irish govt approved Orkambi last year so been on that for 6 months and I'm feeling indestructible, put on 2.5kg in that time which I'm quite happy with, also been able to train every week for past 2 and a half months now.

Things starting to look up for me, need to start making some social gains though, I live away from all my college friends and I'm stuck in a routine now so I rarely interact with that many people where I live.

How do I get out of my "trapped in hell" mindset? I'm 26 and I've been working at the same shitty restaurant for the past 10 years. I started off as a dishwasher and then I became a server and now I'm a bartender. I did go to college for finance but I never finished or even liked my major. I don't know what I want to do with my life. I just feel like the only thing I'm good at is making drinks and taking orders. I feel like I'm gonna be suck here forever.

I want to gtfo and try and get a real job, but I don't know what else I can do. I don't want to join the military and trade doesn't seem like my thing. I now I want to work in a nice office space with good people but since finance isn't my thing, I don't know which section in the office I would work at.

All I want before I turn 30 is to get a good job, a nice home/apartment and a nice girl.

I‘m so incredibly close to making it.

Finishing chemical engineer degree this summer. I put all my energy in this, and I feel like I don‘t have any power left to finish it. I‘m putting in so many sleepless nights over thoughts how to improve, how to work better.
How to get where I want to be.
How to be the absolute best form of myself.
Sometimes it feels so reachable and sometimes, like the past few weeks, far away. Today I failed math.
I‘m loosing focus.

I‘m 22 in April.
88kg 6‘4 natty, jacked... still no qt gf (it hurts)
Biggest upset for me is that I have no money to save up or invest.
I‘m studying all day, since years.
And altough I‘m so close to finishing it. FUCK what‘s next? Will I get a chemical engineer job with my failed math? Or was it all wasted youth?
I‘m loosing focus.

>don't want current job
>don't want high-paying finance job
>don't want military job
>don't want trade job
>don't know what else to do

Die? Fucking pick one. Shit. Finish your fucking finance degree, you idiot. You've worked in a fucking restaurant for a decade; work in finance for a decade and make a bunch of fucking money. By then, maybe you'll know what you want. In any case, you'll have money (if you don't fuck that up).

Same age, same feeling, breh

I started panicking around 25, then freaking the fuck out during the last half of 26.

Now I'm going on 29 and I don't care anymore. I can't force normalfags to like me no matter what I do so it's best to ignore it all.

ease up on the excessive sugars and carbs. learn to identify what triggers the bad outbreaks whether stress, food, enviromental- chlorinated city water etc, alcohol. Used to get it bad when growing up in my teens which puberty didn't help it any. was really shitty with the incessant teasing. got into scuba diving and took a trip to one of the islands. between the sun, salt water and change in diet for those couple weeks, it all but disappeared.

immortal / radioactive

You can live fast until your mid 40s, at that point things will start to catch up with you.

>20
>feel like entire life has been a bad joke and that there is no saving it.
Yeah I get it.

What can I do to keep myself from going down this road? I'm just so scared, I've made some friends at Uni but we don't live together so it's hard to maintain it. I also recently had to drop an easy math class because I couldn't handle it. I'm afraid my life is going on a downward slope. I've also never had a gf and it's wearing on me. Is there anything I can do to escape this?

Im turning 23 soon and have just joined the Marine Corps, currently tryhing to get Veeky Forums for boot camp, just start goin at it m8

You’re still young bro, you can make it if you put the effort in

>marines

Im 18 and i already feel this, i dont care about anything be it education women or happiness. Im not depressed and im enjoying life but i wouldnt be suprised if i ended up killing myself at 30ish

No, I'm a PhD student in Clinical Psychology and I have no student loan debt. I work around hot college women all day and work like 6 hours a day, excluding weekends.

How do I stop being scared of change? I've been working shit jobs all my life and I'm finally ready to get a real job. I have a BS in accounting and I also have a few IT certs. I've applied to a small tech firm and also to a small accounting firm. Idk care where I work, I just want to gtfo of retail because I'm getting too old for this and the money isn't that great.

The thing is that there's a part of me that's scared to leave. Even though my current job is shit, it's easy as shit and all my coworkers love me. I'm kinda scared that I'll fuck up at my new job and all my new coworkers will also hate me.

How do I stop being afraid of change?
I finally found a way to escape and I don't want to fuck it up.

I have zero sympathy for you. You are educated well off middle to upper class white guys in their teens to early 20s with the whole fucking world at your feet. You're not some random dirt poor moron in India or disenfranchised Chinese peasant.

You bitch and fucking moan life is not going well, expecting people to save you or some angel to drop out of the sky and be your oneitis? Fuck off. Make your life happy, fix your problems, be someone others want to be with.

lol, I put on massive amounts of muscle when I was 30.

I just turned 34.

Don't listen to these retards saying it's over.

The truth is that they were lazy when they were young and that's why they're lazy now. They've always been lazy. They're not lazy because they're older.
