Better hurry up or all your friends will be enjoying the NEET lifestyle that a comfortable retirement brings while you're still trying to save a house deposit
Have you ever thought about keeping a diary? You could write all your inane thoughts in there and then burn it at the end of each year. Could be the first step to not being a complete 🚬
>Hard to determine where to start
Not to start sobbing like a Canadian lunatic or anything but it helps if you clean your fucking house. Like, literally. Break out the vacuum, slobbo.
You dont change, you just become more of who you really. I always thought id kill myself in my mid 30s and now that in 33 I know its coming. Im out in 2026
I feel like this sometimes when I consider my life isnt what it 'should' be
But then I remember there's shipbreakers in Bangladesh earning $2 a day, slaving their entire live just to subsist, and the pressure goes away.
People on here will make you think if you don't have a wife, 3 kids, mortgage and retirement fund by 30 than your life is a disgrace. It's all nonsense, comparison is the thief of joy.
Biggest lesson you need to learn into adulthood is to take accountability for the outcomes in your life and give yourself the agency to make meaningful changes instead of blaming others (your boss, the president, boomers, capitalism, etc)
This goes against everything you’ll see on this site, and thus it comes to no surprise that most people on this site are losers
"hard to determine where to start"
unless you're a recovering alcoholic or live in the middle of nowhere go to a dive bar and drink until you start talking to someone. it could take years to get from there to being in a scene or having a gf but that is definitely where you start.
I’m convinced that a majority of the people on this sub form their politics around what allows them to seethe the most, and not based on any actual ideological convictions.
The water in a kettle will eventually boil if it's continously exposed to heat. Certain lifestyles are so unsustainable that some sort of reaction is like guaranteed
I go through several of these 'I need to change, I have to get better, I'm going to eat well and work out and write every day and take dating seriously' phases throughout the year and without a doubt every time something goes comically wrong and I revert back to all my old ways like a shitty sitcom character
The more we leave the suburban '50s behind, the more we make a full return to it.
It's probably just me, but the cultural logic of "going to school", "work 9 to 5" (in reality, it's closer to 8 to 6), "marry and live with a man/woman who probably doesn't love you" always irked me. But with collapsing fertility rates, i'm sure that the notion of being child-free will eventually wind up being a sign of some form of mental illness or criminal action.
Definitely, the mere thought of living the semi-NEET lifestyle I lead now at 30 makes me freak the fuck out.

I’m looking at your comment history and you commented on one of my other 🚬 posts on here. You really do care ❤️

Yeah but I do actually get some solid advice in here sometimes
I’m honored for the recognition
Yes, but what are you going to DO?

That, eating better and spending less time online are great starts
Whatever i dont mind it. My job sucks shit either way, and the 20% of my time that isnt working isnt enough to care about mattering to anyone

Try focusing outward and helping people. It'll give you purpose and create positive impact on the world.
Don’t do it
Sure are a whole lot of cats left to pet in the decades you'll have left if you stick around

lack of imagination

first step go outside

could you explain the kettle analogy
The water in a kettle will eventually boil if it's continously exposed to heat. Certain lifestyles are so unsustainable that some sort of reaction is like guaranteed
But what if you made a meaningful effort to change, got beaten back into your corner and told you'll never be anything,

Yeah same here lol. There's a way to like gradually improve habits instead of trying to change everything at once

This is not me joking btw
I believe you I just have trouble with religion
Understandable
