I turned 20 today. I know you guys will say that's young, but I am truly the biggest ghost loser nobody you can imagine. It's going to years to unfuck myself, and who knows how long this coronavirus shit is going to complicate things. How can I get over lost youth? It kills me that I will never experience young love, or have memories with friends. It just sucks wasting your best years.

I'm 25 and haven't gotten over it yet, not sure if there's a way.
you're a kid until you're 30, at which point you become middle aged
you're lucky this Corona didn't happened during the best years of your times
How did it not? I am 20. This is supposed to be my "prime" or whatever.
I don't think so, man. It's basically over after 22 it seems.
yea i was pretty down on myself for wasting my entire 4 years of high school doing nothing but being a no friend degenerate in my room, but then when i went to college i decided that i was going to live it up and have a social life. and i kinda did, i got a very close knit group of friends, got a girlfriend, had sex everyday, did drugs and drank constantly, and then once i was at the height of that lifestyle, i realized that i still wasnt satisfied. you're an idiot to beat yourself up over "wasting your 'best' years", and you'll realize this once u realize what its like to not be a "loser". friends and partying are just there to pacify/distract you from the rest of your life, same way that vidya/porn or whatever the hell you do are. make a goal and dedicate your time to working towards accomplishing something. it's the only thing that's going to give u true satisfaction in life. the lifestyle that u think u missed out on is just a waste of time that's glorified by the media to promote spending on movies/eating out/whatever else you could spend money on. despite having hung out with this friend group i had in college every day, there weren't even particularly meaningful connections in it, and looking back on it i don't value my relationship with most of the people in it. sure, we had fun, but that was it. there was nothing deep or lasting, make "friends" with people you actually have shared interests/goals with if u need friends. but srsly, you're retarded to be beating urself up over not having the life you think you could have. show me one person alive who u think has some ideal life and i can assure you that they feel the same emptiness u do.
I appreciate the wisdom, user. But I don't know. I feel like it's one of those things you have gotta find out for yourself.
Lmao i peripherally browsed Yas Forums since 2007 but only became a true shut in neet in 2018 when i was like 24, before that i was the epitome of meme chad
I have alot of storys to shit post on Yas Forums to keep me going
Stop thinking dude you think too much
>20
>lost youth
ppppfffffhahahahahaha
Until you're 30s/mid 30s you're fucking young and invincible. You can be a huge fucking loser and no one will care. You're mind will still be fresh and your body will still work.
Please user, join the army, go to college, develop a skill. Getting laid or being redpilled playing video games and MGTOW is not important in the least.
OH LOOK ANOTHER I'M SO LE DEPRESSED NOT LIKE THE OTHER KIDS DOOMY GLOOMY
Fucking Christ, even emos in my time weren't such fucking losers
What the fuck happened? How did you fall from grace?
You don't but the more you do with yourself now the less you find yourself thinking about it.
Adulthood for a lot of people just comes down to distracting oneself from their miserable past.
Friends got old, theyve literally all ghosted me
Ive long since reconciled that they are just plain shitty, unintelligent people
Honestly i think they went insane in jealousy because i bought a house at 22 that i memed my way to through making blueprints that i had worked up from by digging holes
Theyre all alcoholics, fucking losers
What happened is i got really into making music. If youve ever tried something creative, and to embrace yeah im trying to take this seriously, inspires this weird insipid hatred in people where they need to feel like they are bigger than you
I told them to go fuck themselves because they wouldnt believe in me and would literally refuse to listen to music, i could 100% confirm they would listen to like 30 seconds of a track because of the stats on the websites, and then go on this winded speeches about how it wasnt very good and what i needed to improve
I literally had an easier time getting kanye west and grimes to listen to my music than people i knew for 8 years
The music thing became an obsession and i moved to montreal for 6 months and played melee and washed dishes and went to shows, when i came back everyone just fucking hates me now and have all literally blocked me on everything
Post music bb
How about you originally shut up
m.youtube.com
I post it alot
that's a joke right
I started making music with no background 2 years ago
Lost youth and lost decade reporting in.
user, everyone literally feels old when they turn 20. You are still a baby. The true age happens when you hit 26 and realize you are mentally a teenager but now you see your first wrinkle, you're gaining weight on the same diet you've always had, people you know are dying, and your back hurts for no reason. Because now you see the aging and it's a race against time to do everything before your body fails entirely.
Make these next six years count. Don't listen to any of your tryhard peers who say it's too late for anything. I lost my virginity, got blackout drunk and smoked weed for the first time all at 22, and it was the most based thing I've ever done. Do it all now before you hit late 20's. It's a shithole on this side (unless you get rich, or find some friends who care about you.)
Fuck man I really wish this corona shit wasn't happening. I just want to take action for the first time in my life and I am stuck inside.
it's all about changing your perspective. I've spent a lot of time thinking about lost youth as well. I was diagnosed with ADHD, GAD, PA and autism about 6 months ago. I'm taking 60mg of ritalin (the legal dose limit) and I have finally realized I was experiencing everything behind three layers of frosted glass. I wasn't experiencing emotions outsize of anxiety, frustration, and hopelessness, i was constantly dissociating, it was bad. the meds take away most of the fog and i can see mostly clearly now for the first time ever. I totally missed my early years, i don't even remember much before my 18th. That also means i missed out on a ton of stress about finding my first love, making friends, whatever. Not only that but I have my 20s to look forward to as a brand new person. If you can just make that shift you'll see things going way better. don't look at the past, be excited for the future!
What is PA?
>is 20
>talking about "lost youth"
I'm 42. I would unironically, literally, kill you to be your age again. Your 20's and (to a lesser extent) 30's are your best years. Yes, you'll never experience teenage love but if you make something of yourself NOW you can experience to hot hookers slobbering over your dick at the same time while you're coked off your face.
if you made the tracks longer so they went somewhere think they'd be better imo, there's definitely something to them
>you can experience to hot hookers slobbering over your dick at the same time while you're coked off your face
I see no reason why this is not possible at 42 either
no. you're a kid at 29. at 30, you're middle aged
Hey bro same situation, got diagnosed 5 months ago with ADD and OCD Rumination (which causes the inattentiveness). Currently on 60mg Adderall but it's not doing too much to alleviate the brain fog, memory issues, dissassociaton, frustration etc...
Any tips to have a better outlook?
Dude this bitter feeling will curse you all live, you can not change it since the phase is over. It does not matter what good things will coom now for you, they can not pacify this deep greef. If you get rich and socialy well you can at least make it less miserable to exist.
But you will never get over the damage on missing out, just look at the other retards here telling you youre a kid, do you think they got over it?
The worst thing is, the older you get, you can not even make up a fictional youth in your head how it could habe been, you will just rember the hurtfull grief. Only tip i can give you is to swallo Vitamin D and go outside on sunny days.
you're in your best years you colossal fucking faggot
I know that, but the problem is 1) we are in quarantine 2) I have so much work to do just to become an average human being that it will take me years to catch up. I don't even have a drivers license.
drivers license just takes a few months to get bro
You have until you're 25 to make the most of your youth, after that its basically over. Early 20s can be the golden age of socializing etc. if you play your cards right and you can make up for lost time.
if you start lifting and looksmaxing and just general self-improvement shit right now you can have a really really good time in a year or two if you put in the time, otherwise you're volcel and keep whining about it bitch not getting your drivers licence.
>tfw 26
>never experienced teenage love
>too old/too much competition from chads to fuck hot 18 year olds
I only had one goal when I was 17 and finished high school and almost 10 years later I still havent achieved it.
I think its time I gave up on it
I felt the same way when I turned 20. A few weeks, no. Days will go on and youll realize your the same person.
How old do you look? I'm 25 but get mistaken for a teenager all the time because I look young for my age so if you get lucky with your genetics you can still extend that period into your late 20s to still party with young people.
Well, how hard did you try? Did you gymmaxx?
I look 20
but I'm a manlet who gymmaxed (but not to absurd levels), personality maxxed asian
I can attract 6/10 girls but 7s are rare and a lot of 7s want true chads these days.
What kills me is that even after all of this work and being a self improover. The best girls I could get was before all of this. They were
7/10 looking,
not thots (yet) and
good personalities
now days its pick 2, most girls are thots even at 18. 7/10s are rare cause lots of fat chicks in my country
Are you mentally retarded? Why are you looking at your past and asking these bland questions if those are the exact fucking things that you regret? Go do something productive and dont come back here until you are married and have a fun career. There is no single answer dipshit, you just have to be exposed to reality and get better in it. Literally zero introspection is better than you sitting around doubting yourself, thinker.
You join the military and you let them turn you into a man, not bullshitting at all. Ignore this at your own peril, you could be coming out at 25 with money for school at least 25k in the bank and healthcare... where else you gonna get those tools for life. Men are meant to be doing outdoor shit with other men, men are meant to be part of a brotherhood, you won't get that at a desk job, sales job, or coding gig till your job gets automated. Or go be a cop which is next best thing. You won't get this support system in the private sector, private sector is a life full of stress, debt, and no friends as everyone is competing with each other to possibly move up to better job title only to watch some stranger come in and take it... r9k is not a support system, of the current regular posters, some will overdose, some will suicide, others will give up and stop coming, a few will linger and whine about the old days and you will find yourself surrounded by strangers... if you decide to keep coming. As an old person, it's hard to see y'all young people stress so much like your life is over, it just feels that way because you haven't dealt with your current emotions and your current day to day way of trying but not transcending your situation, success is defined by dealing with hardship and adversity... but failure is far too often the result of that. Life only starts when your out at your own, life begins at the end of your own comfort level. Embrace the suck and you will make it.
>20
>Thinks hes lost his youth
LMAO. Wait until you hit 30 son. Thats when the real horror sets in. Youre in your 20s, you havent wasted anything. Your 20s is when you really experience your youth. Its not even question of bouncing back, its about just beginning a new as a new person in a decade in your life.
Go to college outside of home, get a job, travel(current situation regarded), join the military.
You build your career and your life in your early to late 20s, then you look for a gf in your late 20s. Not the other way around, stop looking at porn and stop looking at girls you see irl, delete social media.... only worry about your career, do nofap, exercise for health and not for looks, make your life like your a ghoSt. After a short while, you will embrace this new path and you will be well on your way. Plenty of people quit heroin and that consists of shitting your brains out, twitchy legs all night, sweats, etc.... doing the changes I suggested have no real withdrawal effects, it will be a breeze. thats why I suggested military even if it's air force, a month of boot camp will kill all bad habits and get you on your way. Life doesn't have to be like this dude, don't get caught up in the noise... you will realize how much of life is just noise when your older,
lol fucking hell I wish I was still 20 years old
what if you can't join the military
30s is a fucking nightmare, I have to use 3 times a regular dose of sleep medicine to fall asleep and it takes 3 hours to kick in... otherwise my brain just goes " your a failure, kill your self" until the sun comes up. It still does that until the sleep meds kick in.
Why can't you?, then you look into becoming law enforcement, paramedic or firefighter... in that order. The trades are a meme, you will break your body and it far too often ends up with men being broken in their 40s. Electricians actually is best trade career and you won't end up with back, knee problems. You will have to dig wire ditches for first year, but it's free gym if you eat healthy, stretch, wear protective back brace.
>tfw too old to be drafted
feels good m8
i feel like this anyway in my early 20s lol.
because I have diabetes, and I don't think I could get into any of those other options either, except electrician
Use drugs user
listen closely, you're still young as fuck. don't fall into self pity, don't be a moron, because all that does is piss time away, stop pissing time away. there's so much you can do, but at this age you do want to strive for total self independence or towards a goal. things such as love and joy can be experienced to a greater extent as you finally establish yourself as a young man. don't be a fool. leave this place, if there was one thing i could have done when i was 20 was quit this place for good.
same. i was just as retarded when i turned 20, i wasted so much time thinking "i lost it all" and let myself fall into despair at most times not realising i had the best years ahead of me, with each year going by, i looked back thinking how i wasted time and what a dumb kid i was being by not "living in the moment"
--
these doomer memes zoomers create and self identify with will only make their situation worse as they fetishize/normalise it as a whole - fuck, it's supposed to be hard, but don't self identify with all that is negative with society, yes we're in a dysgenic state, but there's still good if you look for it and strive. never play as the victim, because no one will save you and pull you out of your despair but only yourself. don't be that person who pisses it all a way and to be of age where everyone is accomplished and you have nothing, that's when you truly feel cornered, with true lost youth to feel pain over, but by that time you feel done bitching and will seriously consider to end it. but don't feel as you need to rush to be in a certain place, because that also means you're wasting time. take it thoroughly and do the right thing even if it will be a slower route towards your goals, appreciate what you have and live in the moment, then you will feel like you're experiencing things instead of falling into idealism of how it should be, life is arbitrary and unpredictable; dont hold back
oops, the reply was to agree with this.
Pretty sure you can be a diabetic cop.
Ups is a great fucking job too... you start off doing night shift loading trucks from 10m to 3-4am and after 2 years you get to drive trucks, great pay, teamsters union membership so it's hard to get fired, and great benefits... diabetes will prevent you from military but not the other 3 jobs.
Most people post high school are miserable even if they were socially successful.
Fuck you, no one listen to him, drugs only cause way more problems, weed is normalized but it will only slow you down and it's not good for mental health. Tobacco is a trap, if you want to smoke, take eight dollars and light it on fire... now imagine doing that every week.
>How can I get over lost youth? It kills me that I will never experience young love, or have memories with friends. It just sucks wasting your best years.
I am 28 and I can say you just stop caring. And instead you start obsessing over why you wasted your 20s. And I guarantee when I am in my 30s Ill do the same thing. The shame and regret goes away, because it gets replaced with a different variation. Life is suffering and you cannot escape the hamster loop.
>I turned 20 today. I know you guys will say that's young, but I am truly the biggest ghost loser nobody you can imagine
user, I'm 32. Nobody wants a guy my age unless it's a roastie looking for kids. Your age is perfectly fine. Nothing's lost yet.
>It's going to years to unfuck myself
Yup, and every day counts. An object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest. Start changing now. The tragedy of growing old is you appreciate time less and less, as you've seen so much of it, but your time is getting closer and closer to running out. The other day I told someone I talked to a friend "recently" - it was 5 years ago. While I sat around just decaying, time ran out. You think you can just "do stuff" later, but you can't. You have to do it as soon as possible. You don't want to be me and too old for a girlfriend.
>coronavirus
Probably 2 more months. Just do shit at home.
>How can I get over lost youth? It kills me that I will never experience young love
The reality is most people don't actually experience that shit. People write a lot of songs and movies about it, but the real thing is uncommon and usually ugly. IQ is negatively correlated with the age you lose your virginity. Don't be jealous of brainlets. You're the right age for it now.
>have memories with friends
Take it from an old man: you will be nostalgic for WHATEVER you did. But that shit actually doesn't matter. High school, your hometown, even college to an extent, they really have nothing to do with you as an individual. They're a tiny piece of the world and mostly unrelated to you.
>It just sucks wasting your best years
You're doing it right now whining on Yas Forums. Leave the whining for actually dead people like me.
panic attacks, i don't remember what the technical term was, i wasn't really paying attention
it's all about training yourself to think in a different way. noticing when you're going down bad thought paths, catching yourself and stuff. I'll be honest man i'm not really sure. I just keep forcing myself to be positive and it makes the day to day better but the times when things feel bad they're really bad.
also play around with different meds. I was on max adderall and vyvanse for months and felt no change but ritalin has had some effect and that honestly makes a world of difference. I obviously still drift in and out of mindfulness but being able to circumvent motivation and be able to get work done even a little bit has done wonders to my self esteem and outlook on life.
keep trying, the second you stop trying is when things fall apart. especially for people like us. godspeed my brother, i hope you can find your path and i hope it is good
