>>434049>how you feel about not meeting the expectations people have for adults like job and marriage wise, it feels fucking insane to me that people would have kids and career figured out before 25I'm 21 and have been a part-time student at community college the last 3 years (you only get loans if you have at least six credits). At this rate I probably won't get my bachelors until I'm 24. I don't work, since like I said, I get loans and community college is cheap and I still live with my parents who pay for gas. I also don't want a family since it would take money and time away from myself and my hobbies and I don't think modern women are worth it at all.
There was a period two years ago where I felt like I was falling behind other people my age and needed to drop the video games and cartoons and get practical normalfag hobbies that were supposed to be respected by other people. I fell for the "self-improvement" meme without realizing what a narrow definition of self-improvement it was. I tried working out, learning piano, learning another language, and reading but I hated all of them and eventually went into a depression that lasted until this last March, almost a year and a half, from trying so hard to catch up with people.
I came out of my depression because I realized that you have to live life on your own terms and do things you want to do, the way you want to do it, regardless of what normalfags try to tell you. My parents keep trying to tell me It'll look bad to employers if I graduate several years late, but I don't give a shit because it's more comfortable and enjoyable going slow and I'm not gonna ditch my nerdy virgin hobbies, even if it makes me a friendless weirdo, because they're what bring me joy. It's not worth it to sacrifice your happiness to make other people happy, especially normalfags, happy.
