>>15166775I dropped out of high school in my senior year in 2010 and got my GED. I spent virtually my entire 20s making poor decisions, being a good for nothing NEET, wasting money when I did have a job, ruining relationships, culminating in a life-threatening health condition halfway through my 20s and a mental breakdown shortly afterwards.
Around 27-28, things began to change. My adult brain finally turned on and I was able to buckle down and handle shit with maturity for the first time in my life, repair the relationships I'd damaged and now have more money than I know what to do with. Now at the ripe old age of 29, I look back on my 20s and I'm content. Know why? Because I went out and LIVED it. I didn't just funnel from school to college to office and end up with this inescapable feeling of existential dread. I travelled all over the country, met all kinds of people, worked all kinds of jobs, even fucked some decent women (would've been x4 more if I wasn't such a sperg early on.) I had experiences and faced hardship, I make mistakes and learned from them.
The reason everyone here seems so miserable is because they're undeveloped souls. They might be financially successful, but they've done nothing in life. Literally not a thing. Sat in front of a desk and followed directions. They're unironically stunted mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
