Current Events > i'm 36 and my life is already over

(+) Yeah! (+)

Career wise, I've already achieved everything there is to as an engineer. I have 2 degrees and a PE. I'm already paid the max for my position at my agency (it's government so it's predetermined and non-negotiable). I can't change jobs literally anywhere in the world without taking a drastic paycut. I can't move up without tripling my work load/stress.

Ive already saved up and bought the luxury condo I'll probably die in (of old age). I'll never be able to afford the penthouse in my life (it's 1.5-2M). I will be paying this off until I'm 54

Romance wise, I've mastered game enough to sleep with beautiful women consistently but they tend to ghost me after a few weeks (if I'm lucky) once they realize how hollow and dead inside I actually am (I'm pretty upfront about this, but people tend to not be prepared for the dreary reality)

I really have nothing to look forward to until retirement at 55...only 19 more years left

I don't think I've ever seen why anyone loved anything in my entire life

What have you gotten out of making these stupid fucking topics for over a decade

No_U_L7 posted...

once they realize how hollow and dead inside

if you can see the issue then you can examine the cause

you sought after vanity and meaningless things

money is a tool, not a life goal
sex is the same

you grasped for the wind

I mean I dont disagree with you but at the same time, theres a writers strike thats starting now so maybe this will be our only source of entertainment now

Gotta give it to you TC. You are certainly dedicated in more ways than one.

idk how people view this guy now, maybe a fringe nutjob but many years ago Russel Brand came out about similar things.

he was rich, famous and fucking all the women he wanted

but he just felt empty
like it was all meaningless

most people find this to be the case and report it and yet when they say it people who haven't experienced it yet for some reason refuse to believe it

gotta lol at you thinking you cant make any more money elsewhere

how many places have you worked? Why do you think youre so limited?

Anhedonia is a real thing. Especially if you are deriving a lot of your pleasure from railing lines and doing all the drugs.

Meanwhile, some of us are only a few months away from their first million and actually live within their means and don't lie about it.

i've worked at 2 places-1 private 1 public

I'm a civil engineer, it's a field notoriously known for low pay. I got lucky and in my region the gov overpays...gov actually makes more than private. along with the best vacation package and benefits. i also want to keep my workload low, im at 16 hours/week. I also want as much WFH as possible.

must be nice, I'll hit 1M around 55. or when my parents pass and i get my inheritance, whichever comes first

I'd like to say I feel sorry for you TC.

But I really actually don't.

Make a big room in your house, and make the floor a trampoline. Also have waterslides from different rooms into an indoor pool. This is a must.

For sure. Definitely don't need to do drugs to put yourself in a depressive state. I know you are kidding with these topics but its all a real thing.

Have you considered therapy to help with that "hollow and dead inside" thing?

Use all that spare time to better yourself

in what way?

as a pick up artist i've been in the self-improvement thing for almost 15 years now...there's not much more meaningful change i plan to implement

Maybe stop drowning yourself in frivolities and start making meaningful connection.

Damn, people gave 30 posts for a pathological liar? Or did you, like me, enter this topic assuming this was a breakdown topic and tc was gonna finally come clean and admit he's a liar who finally confesses to his problems in a disturbingly honest yet highly entertaining post?

Just me? Okeedonkey

Career wise, I've already achieved everything there is to as an engineer. I have 2 degrees and a PE. I'm already paid the max for my position at my agency (it's government so it's predetermined and non-negotiable). I can't change jobs literally anywhere in the world without taking a drastic paycut. I can't move up without tripling my work load/stress.

Ive already saved up and bought the luxury condo I'll probably die in (of old age). I'll never be able to afford the penthouse in my life (it's 1.5-2M). I will be paying this off until I'm 54

Romance wise, I've mastered game enough to sleep with beautiful women consistently but they tend to ghost me after a few weeks (if I'm lucky) once they realize how hollow and dead inside I actually am (I'm pretty upfront about this, but people tend to not be prepared for the dreary reality)

no it wouldn't

it would make it better and make you less hollow and dead inside

also just in case you didn't saw the edit get another job it sounds like you are miserable in the job you have

At the bare minimum have you considered finding a hobby that isnt trolling a dying video game website

Go join a church, help people in need. Donate, etc. Hopefully that will help find your soul.

i'd be miserable at any job, i hate the concept of work. i went to school for 8 years to have the job i have. and most importantly, i will not take a pay cut to move jobs. this job funds my extravagant lifestyle on minimal work

I suppose trickery is useful to seduce people when you are a miserable person as being a miserable person is the most unattractive quality a person can have

Weren't you just complaining that it's a hassle to go to the gym regularly? That doesn't sound like something a PUA would say.
