I would like the power to heal others and I would not charge for it. Maybe my life would have meaning then.

We've tried those when I was younger. I feel like they worked back then but now they don't. We tried one recently and it didn't work at all.

What works for me (my ears get completely clogged at least once every 1-2 years) is to just shoot warm water in my ear over the sink with an aspirator. I watched a few youtube videos on how to do it and works great. The last time I did it, I got some massive chunks out of my ear.

Vice City. I didn't like the music. I didn't like the map layout. I didn't like the overall theme/setting. I thought it was worse than GTA3. I have copies of SA, 4, and 5, but never played them.

Out of the ones I've played: Minecraft

Vanilla minecraft I can see being not for everyone. Modded minecraft however is awesome.

Yes. As a whole, the negatives outweigh the positives.

This. It's why I've been a shut-in for my entire adult life.

Tibia. I probably put in over 1000 hours on it. Good times. Then after that, MapleStory with another few thousand hours. I never tried any other mmos.

The only mmorpg's I ever got into were Tibia and MapleStory.

I've been a NEET since November of 1999. I've been living with my parents the entire time.

I've never played a single elder scrolls game. I don't think I ever will.

The only way I can play LTTP now is LTTP Randomizer with a better Link sprite. The vanilla Link sprite suuuuuuucks. (and the Randomizer makes LTTP so much more fun)

My advice would be to spray in the early morning when it's the coolest. That's when most/all of the wasps are at the nest so you can kill them all. That should help a little bit with them just moving to another location right away. They are also less aggressive when it is cool outside. Yeah where I live, it's like 80F-85F at dawn in the summer but it works.

We get paper wasp nest around our house every spring/summer. We just use wasp spray to kill the wasps and then knock down the nest with a broom stick or something.

I'm 42 and still live with parents (as in never left).

Someone didn't enable 2FA.

Stealing someones session token allows you to bypass password and any 2FA. This sort of attack has been hitting several big youtube channels over the last year or so.

Age: 42
Look: I was told I looked like a teenager from strangers a few years ago. I tend to agree.
Feel: I started exercising daily in 2019 and have kept it up to today. I feel pretty good. Maybe early/mid 20s. Before I started exercising, I felt my age.

I've also been between 104 lbs and 117 lbs the last 20 years. That contributes to me looking so young.

I actually avoid hugs because of my OCD. It's easily in the single digits in the last 25 years.

Perhaps try yoga if you haven't. All kinds of benefits.

Nah yoga doesn't work for me. Meditation doesn't work. ASMRs don't work. My brain goes 100 miles per hour every second of every day while I am conscious. I even have a hard time trying to sleep at night. I can sleep just fine during the day but I don't like sleeping during the day.

I also have had tinnitus for 25+ years so that could be another factor. I'm just a ball of anxiety 24/7.

I've wasted the last 24 years of my life doing nothing.

FF3 probably has my favorite track of all time

I'm playing FF3 right now, what is your favorite track?

I haven't played since v1.3. so I'm looking forward to playing again when v1.6 drops. I haven't even seen any update notes for v1.4 and up.

It hasn't helped at all with my social anxiety disorder. But I am glad I keep at it.

It's the anniversary of the game being released.

I've been exercising daily since Jan 1st 2019. I do 10-15 min every day. I walk/jog on a treadmill and do pushups and crunches. I used to have 0 stamina before but now I am a lot stronger with lots of stamina now. I'm the only person I know that can do north of 100 pushups in a single set.

But I am still a total loser in every other aspect.

Those fried burritos are good but it always ends in devastation in my stomach and in the bathroom.

I haven't had one in probably 25 years.

I've been super skinny all my life and I exercise daily in the comfort of home so I'd take the free food.

nope

I haven't had a job in 24 years. I love not working.

I walk/jog on a treadmill every day. I have been since July 1st 2019. I've also been doing pushups and crunches every day since Jan 1st 2022 (actually started in early 2019 but didn't do it daily until 2022 onward).

I can do a single set of 120 to 140 pushups now. I used to be really weak with no stamina. Now I'm stronger and have tons of stamina. It really makes a difference in how you feel about yourself.

"in line" vs "on line"

I assume therapy has not gone well? There are some shit therapists out there.

I tried therapy back in 2000 and they were not good. I tried prescribed medications back then too and they only made me feel worse. I gave up trying after that. Like I said, I don't want to change anymore. I like being the way I am.

The only thing I've done that I would consider positive is that I've started exercising daily. I started Jan 1st 2019 and have kept it up to today. It's helped me feel better about myself but not enough to want to actually do anything significant.

You don't have to 'deserve' a relationship. They aren't rewards for good behaviour.

I still think terrible people shouldn't deserve rewards and I absolutely am a rotten person.

You just have to meet someone who likes you. There's a lot of people out there, and despite what you're told, they aren't all looking for the same thing.

Well I'm not looking so I can't possibly meet this woman that somehow exists out there.

I know I'm not flat out ugly. I did have 5 different girls show attraction toward me in my school years. I'm just too scared to try anything. Too scared to get a job. Too scared to drive. Too scared to be around people. Too scared to socialize. I'm literally scared of living a normal life. I just want to stay alone in my room forever without a care in the world. It's how I've been living all this time so far.

When you haven't had a job in 24 years, live with your parents, have no car, hardly ever go out in public, have severe social anxiety, and have no desire to change what-so-ever, you don't deserve to have a relationship let alone you probably couldn't attract anyone anyway. Even if for some reason someone did like me regardless of all of my faults, I would absolutely be questioning their judgement. It's better for me to just stay alone forever.

I also didn't know about this.

This describes me perfectly except the "intense desire for intimacy" part. I would say I am more at a "would like to try it but at the same time not". I'm all about avoidance and avoiding anything that could stress me out so while I would like a gf, I also see that It would require work and effort and I avoid all that at all cost.

I've been doing nothing with my life for 24 years now and only recently have I finally started putting effort into SOMETHING that isn't gaming or watching tv. It's exercise. I've been able to maintain exercising daily since Jan 1st 2019. It's made me feel a lot better about myself but not to the point I am ready to get a life. I don't think I will ever be ready to get a life. But at least I'm not a couch potato with zero stamina anymore.

Too late. Waisted 24 years and planning on waisting 24 more. It's just easier to avoid living.

If you don't try, you don't gain. The social anxiety I've always had made it hard. I made it better by running a retail business. One thing I learned from that is you have to put yourself out there. Don't be afraid. You will get discouraged but dust yourself off try again

Yeah I get all that and I get this advice all the time, but being told what to do and to actually do it are two totally different things. The problem is, I like not working. I like not going out in public. I like not having responsibilities. I like not being an adult. So while I would like a gf, I don't think I can get one or deserve to have one.

30 days, 10 hours, 30 minutes per month per four years.

so many anime titles it would take too long to list them

As a fellow sufferer of severe social anxiety, all I can say is good luck KogaSteelfang. I gave up two decades ago. I'm 42 and have never even tried.

I'm 42 and still feel like a teenager physically (and mentally). A few years ago, someone asked if I was a teenager and I said "no I'm 40."

I've also been exercising since 2019 every day so if anything, I feel even better now than I did at 37.

looks fixed now.

I thought something was going on, but wasn't sure.

I accept and welcome the shame of being a 42 year old leech. I don't care.

Rising Hope by LiSA is a banger. grilletto by GARNiDELiA is really good too.
