All of my high school friends and successful and have families

>was really into games all through my childhood
>stopped for some reason and pursued career and girls
>feel depressed for years

>slowly get into gaming again
>corona happens
>having the time of my life grinding games because of isolation

Life can suck either way OP

>most successful person I know hates his job but does it for the promotions and one day lots of money
Its pretty sad to be honest and I dont envy him at all. I think hes going to turn 50 and regret the rat race.

fuck it i aint gonna try and be no astronaut. i'm fine with nothing

Honestly that sounds like hell. People say that money can’t buy happiness and that’s sorta true. Money can give you a lot of short-term euphoria but when that’s over you just have a bunch of shit that you spent thousands of dollars on and nothing to do.

they don't tell you everything

i have like 1 friend that i feel some envy towards
big role at Cisco, nice gf etc etc
but he seems miserable when we catch up

>best friend from childhood had same sort of childhood I did, but more money
>went to college after HS, I went into work to save up money for college
>he has had jobs with major tech companies, got married, is having a kid
>I drifted from shitty job to shitty job, finally got through college, having trouble finding work because H1-B visa's eat up all entry-level work, and no one wants to hire you if no experience even if you have degree and intern experience
>people keep asking why I don't try to re-establish contact since I have many ways to do so
>don't wanna make contact, since all I could do is depress him with how much I've failed at life
He's better off without me. Better a good memory than a disappointing reality.

I'm alright.

>all my high school friends are as equally as unsuccessful as me
>one of them is a tranny
feels pretty good not being the worst.

>>Wanted to see how my old friends ended up
>>One died I a fire, another is in prison, and the last one has been missing since may 2015
Pls tell stories this sounds funny especially the missing one. Also I'm guessing this takes place in the South.

I'm like that too.
They don't give me guff but I know I'm shit inside.

Are you from Derry by any chance?

>lose contact with all friends
>only 5 friends on steam
>one a coworker, one my brother
>married, one kid, working on #2
>ok job, got big promotion after cleaning my shit up unironically thanks to trump-2016-meme energy "make myself great again"
>cant do well in coop end games due to no frens
Why even live

Coulda given me a (you)
But anyways
>Died in a fire
Him and his girlfriend died in a house fire in 2009. Something about a heater or some shit. They said they died from lack of oxygen before burning and that relieved me a lot.

>Arrested
Drunk driving, and resisting arrest.

>Missing
He was visiting family but apparently he never came to the family meetup. At first they thought there might have been an accident but then they found his car at a dead-end road with the door still open and the keys inside (not running) there were no signs of a struggle and they couldn’t find footprints.

>never keep in touch with IRL friends
>now mostly relying on Discord to fill the social void

Most of people from my high school have no career, life or anything worth to mention and the rest have menial jobs, kids without any type of planning and are having the "time of their lifes" while posting extremely forced souless pictures on social media like the one attached on this post.

It's not like everthing is bad, of course there are exceptions to this rule, but sadly it's something like 20% of the entire high school attendances.

One guy even became a local Chris-Chan believe or not.

The protip I have learned and seen by example is that you really need a personal drive to have a job, career or even hobbies that truly ressonate with yourself or else you will end up being what we call here NPC.

>one of them is a tranny
This happened to me too. Really unexpected. And it was kind of funny to talk to some old schoolmates, where they pretended that "coming out" as a tranny was brave and a good thing.
I'm just waiting for that percentage to increase.

>same
>one dead from gas leak, one committed suicide, one other became trans

:\

>be 25
>depressed
>being a neet for 7 years
>spend my free time by going to the gym, play vidya and watch anime
>tried to apply for a job with no success
>still a virgin but not kissless
>never had a gf
>no friends because isolated myself and lost contact with them
>check up on facebook to see what my old classmates are doing
>they are all successful and have jobs, bfs/gfs
>they party a lot

Fuck my life, maybe I should move to another town and find my luck there. Fuck Zurich.

honestly it isn't that bad
some of the best years of my life have been spent on Zig Forums

Everyone walks in a different pace, you don't have to race your pace against the other. We all face the same obstacle, the only different is how steep the obstacle is.
Enjoy your current pace while you gradually improve your knowledges or skills. Glory awaits you, user.

I'm successful and have a family.
I'm still here. You don't just magically escape.

Don't worry, bro. Its even worse. You are here tryting to troll/argue/talk with some 80%+ zoomboomers who were born after 2000 and actually use fucking discord&watch spongebob&rick&morty.

Are you happy?

someone to wipe your ass without stealing your money when you become an old vegetable waiting for the release of death. it's not the biggest incentive ever, but it's a real one.

got a job in commercial editing and a lot of people tell me I’m lucky to have it, but it’s really not great. I don’t know how to find something better and been trying for 4 years since college. Meanwhile I see all my friends advancing with their careers and relationships while I’m still at square one. Feels really shitty.

that missing case is weird af. how does this shit happen to ppl

Married, have a job, house, and I'm still here. You're just a fuckup

>successful family
Oxymoron, families are a failure to hold on to your own childhood and youth. Keep playing games, fuck adulthood

The family bloodline must continue for more power against your enemies.

Even the more succesful people I know my age has fucky stuff like mental instabilities and cucked divorces. Everybody got issues and as long you're moving forward you shouldn't worry about others.

Nurses or wait for robots to help you out.

money can 100% buy happiness, anybody who says anything else is misinformed or poor-coping. if you work 90 hours a week, you're not rich no matter how much you're getting paid because you're in no position to actual invest in yourself. tl;dr - get a time machine and get born rich, or make so much in one shot you dont have to work anymore

>I have a bretty gud IT job, my own place, and a FWB
>One of my bros became a truck driver and has a gf, but he's redpilled and puts her in her place often
>My other bro is a manager at Walmart and does pretty well for himself (he got to go to a pretty badass Walmart leadership conference), but he can't keep a gf because he's too blunt
>None of us fell for the wife and kids meme and still hangout when we can

Life's okay right now.

Browsing Zig Forums after 20 is like that massive creeper who dates girls that are younger than (age/2)+7. Its a big cringe.

underaged, ban please mods

Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax", said the night man
"We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave"

Yes very. I'm really lucky I have a job I like (I'd rather not work of course but who wouldn't?) that pays well and married my high school sweetheart.
I also just don't and never have hated Zig Forums. I come here because I like to. You guys are a lot easier than maintaining real friends.

the moment you start pissing on your own sack it's time to go

>one of my friends is an alcoholic in an empty relashionship
>the other got in a national size sex scandal
meanwhile i have a multimillionaire gf (at least her boomer parents are) that loves me greatly
this would've been the year for me to propose and put a baby in her if things didn't go to shit

Im 34 and my new gf is 19 lmao

>Never had true friends so I dont have to compare me to them
Feels... not that good, just mildly boring

is your other friend the stanford kid?
