Current Events > God damn I wish I could just reboot my life.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I fucked it up way too hard the last decade or so, and I see no light in the tunnel that is my attempt at recovering. Still years away at best. I'd even be willing to start over from the very beginning just to try to change it.

You didnt think during the entire decade to maybe switch it up

Yeah I know I'm a fucking moron thanks

Sorry, but you'v already rebooted your life the maximum of 3 times; unfortunately, the "one thing to remember this time" seems to have failed you each time.

We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
---

Try again.
---

I too would start over from the very beginning. Just to have my ex fiancee in my arms again one day.
---

You already did. You just dont remember.

---

One day at a time buddy. I also wish I could turn back time knowing what I know now, but all you can do is make the best of the rest of your life starting now.

Yo...I don't know you or your situation but you just need to take it one day at a time. I didn't take school seriously during high school and the early pert of my twenties but I got my **** together, graduated, and earned my CPA license. You can do it just focus on the little goals that will eventually get you to your main goal.

Same here almost ready to pull a Heath Ledger

Congratulations today is the first day of your new life!

Stop worrying about your past and even your age start fresh today and make the rest of your life the best of your life.

You cant change the past but you can change the future work towards that instead of worrying about the past. You must learn from your past mistakes move on from it and use what you learned to make your life from now on better.

Are you thinking that is impossible, or not worth it? Then that is the first change you need to make. Stop being negative, or even listening to the negative ideas. Push those thoughts aside and try your best as even if you fail at least you tried, and every failure is just another thing to learn from on your road to success.

Best to keep whining about video games and FF7 Remake

I flunked out of college and killed what little social life I had and spiraled deeper into depression

I'm back in college now but I'm going to be 27 or 28 by the time I get my damn bachelor's, and still have no social life, and feel like such a fucking failure

You ever see these other cemen and think "damn if I was born rich/smart/into a loving home like him, life would be great"? I do that a lot. There are a lot of people here who were handed life on a platter and they have no idea
---

The past is set in stone, the future hasn't even been written yet.

Decide what you want in life and go get it - only you can hold yourself back from it.

Those people at least have something else going for them. I've got nothing. I'm still living with my parents at 25, no friends, never kissed a girl, I can barely get out of bed each day.

Everyday is a new day buddy.

You'll never be happy in life comparing yourself to others. Focus on you.

You have parents and aren't homeless, friends and such must follow you working on yourself first, become someone YOU think is worthy of such things.
---

I don't know how to do that.

The first thing is take advantage of having living parents that allow you to live under their support and go to college, beyond that it's all on you to figure out

I'm 31 and just got my associate's degree. Don't trip.

I nearly flunked out of college my first year and a half. Got it together by the Junior year and worked my butt off and turned things around.

I didn't go to med school until I was 27 (most people there were like 22). That said, we had several students in their 40's.

It's never too late until you decide it is.

Also, your 30's are much younger than you think they are.

When you hit your 30's you start thinking you're starting to get old, but let's get real here - you're not.

---

What would you do differently if you literally COULD reboot your life?

Just do that now (or whatever it looks like now, at this stage in your life).

Social skills are hard; fake it until you make it. People will like you better when you like yourself, or at least pretend to like yourself. Not in an arrogant way; just be pleasant.

What are you studying in college? Do you like it? Is it fulfilling? Does it allow you to pursue your passion?
---

Other people doing it later doesn't really stop me from feeling like a complete failure. I used to be smart af. 33 ACT score, 2100 on the SAT, shit like that. And I've done nothing with my life.

I do pretend to not be miserable in social settings already, doesn't really seem to get anyone to like me at all.

Studying accounting. I guess I enjoy it. I don't really have any passions.

What areas did you score best?
---

I don't know, it was too long ago. I think I scored roughly the same on everything with math being slightly the best.

I can't bring myself to spend what little money I have to go to a professional just for him to tell me "it's not that bad, other people may be in worse situations, just go do stuff until you can do that stuff"

I've been awake for an hour and 45 minutes and still haven't gotten out of bed

Same but thats not part of our function here apparently.

I'll tell you what a professional will say: "Focus on the things you CAN change."

Now I'll tell you something similar, but more helpful: Confidence doesn't work like a light switch you turn on and off. It's like leveling up in an RPG. It takes work. It takes time. Stop beating yourself up and start working on your confidence. I'm still building mine. Women want a man with confidence in himself.

If you think that's what therapist do, then no wonder you're already self defeatist.

All the energy you waste complaining and making these topics could be put elsewhere

That is definitely what the last therapist I went to did. What a load of bullshit

Sounds like you had a shitty therapist then.

There's mounds of evidence that disagrees with the latter.

Do proper research and get yourself on proper medication. Unless you're just going to keep making these topics while disregarding everything else people tell you.

Why? Health issue?

Hey man, a lot of people are looking into crypto to reboot their lives and give themselves a second chance. I personally am investing in Chainlink, which is trying to tackle the oracle problem, the main problem that prevents smart contracts (brought to life by Ethereum) from finding real use case scenarios. Oracles are essentially the HTTPS protocol for blockchains, so if you have $30 to burn, why not invest in Chainlink and see what happens? Who knows what would happen, or how the world will transform a year from now.

its very obvious all he wants to do is cry about how bad he has it

Not a health issue, just a "why bother" issue

Don't prey on someone who is obviously not in a good place with snake oil cryptocurrencies. It's the same pitch we've seen with timeshares or with ponzi schemes

I assumed that was a joke

Google is in on it. Oracle made a presentation that they're going to help build up the community. Facebook is guaranteed to use it for their Libra coin which is going to enslave the world currency wise. Microsoft just had a conference, Trufflecon, where Chainlink's tech was showcased. And so many no name crypto projects are using it alike in efforts to become a recognizably named project. I can assure you it's no snake oil deal. It's world changing technology, in fact, all of blockchain technology is going to revamp business and the world as we know it down to the DNA.

Even if you refuse to spend a dime, I fully recommend you read up on the potential that blockchain technology offers and what smart contracts offer because that is the true job killer in the future. There's a TED talk on the blockchain readily available on Youtube. And googling "Chainlink God Protocol" or "Chainlink parallels world wide web" would be a good start to see what I'm talking about with Chainlink.

But you do have a point that I am out of bounds coming this way. You have to be in the right frame of mind to talk about money. So this is the last time I'll mention it here.

That's a health issue. It could be clinical depression. Or something else. But it's definitely related to your health.

I mean I know that but I take antidepressants so I should at least be able to mostly function

But god it's so hard to get up each day

You think getting a college degree a few years late is "fucking up your life completely"?

Get a fucking grip. There are people that go to college in their 40s. Unless you have a criminal record, stop whining.

This tbh
