Hey all, don't really know where else to post so IL just make this here. I'm 21, names Cameron, no job, no gf, really shy, love gaming and anime, not really doing anything and tbh always feeling like I just suck. I have literally 0 friends irl and only a few close family members to talk to. My life mostly revolves around Naruto/Boruto, gaming and not much else... I just need someone to chat to, thanks.

Oh absolutely. Sometimes I go to sleep hoping I don't wake up, others I dive into bad behavior to push the realization and pain away.

Same, I'm not very good at controlling my emotions, especially when it comes to porn and what types of porn, I feel terrible afterwards and I hate myself even more

You're only 21. Give yourself more time.

I wouldn't say I felt like a complete failure but I do feel like I'm behind compared to my peers. Which isn't something I should be worrying over, since you're not supposed to compared yourself to others. But at least I am definitely working towards self-improvement every day.

Honestly, more than anything, I'm just incredibly lonely.
I'm the same, I just want someone to chat to and share my interests... It's hard to not feel lonely when you have noone to share experiences with

21 & a half.

But really, TC, youre still a kid in the grand scheme of things. Not even old enough to rent a car. Dont hold yourself to an unrealistic standard. Live and learn. Try some new things as your brain continues to develop. Soul-search. You could be a totally different person a year from now.

Thank you. Once this is over I'm heading to a gym, I just need to think of how to meet new people with my interest, there's no anime fanclubs where I live

I'm 34, with a home, a wife, 2 kids, a car and a good career. I still get this feeling all the time, for me it's because of clinical depression for you it could be the same thing, but you should realize that I spent from about 14 - 28 doing hard drugs, dropping out of school, not taking life seriously in anyway you are probably fine.

What horror movies do you like? I'm a bit of a horror movie fan myself.
Alot, from Halloween to cube, final destination, wrong turn etc. Dead meat got me into alot of franchises. A YouTuber who counts kills in horror films.

Never heard of Dead meat but I like the two Halloween movies that I've seen. The first one and the newest one from a couple of years ago.

My favorites are probably:

You're Next
Trick 'R' Treat
The Conjuring
Candyman
Evil Dead series
The Cabin in the Woods
I love TCITW, really subverted expectations

My then gf now wife getting pregnant with our son. As far as how I did it, I just did. My father abandoned my mom when he found out she was pregnant and I knew I was never going to be a piece of shit father so I didn't let myself. I looked at my options and made a mad dash towards a field I could make the best advancements and the most money with the least amount of time investment. Then utilized any and every available social and financial institution and program I could to get for what schooling I needed paid for and began my career.

I've always thought some kind of shared horror cinematic universe, with each series in it being a different subgenre of horror, would be really interesting.
Ohh I like that idea.

Good. My internal philosophy changed where I stopped thinking that everyone had things more figured out than me and therefore better than me. That kind of thing just happened naturally without trying though.

Why are you a failure? None of the things you listed make you a failure. They make you a person living their life.

I notice from your posts in this topic that you are very negative about yourself. The more you do this the less likely things will improve, as harsh as that might sound.

If you genuinely think you have negative traits, think about what you could do to improve them. In my early 20s I was also shy and very low on confidence. I'd just graduated in Computing and got an entry-level job in IT Support - this helped so much as I was forced out of my comfort zone and having to talk to people for most of my 40-hour work weeks. This kinda blended into my personality and while I'm still a bit of an introvert even now, I'm much more open around friends/workmates now, and this also led to me being more confident with dating etc, and I felt better about myself overall as a result.

Everyone's situation is different but maybe there's something similar you could research and look into in terms of jobs or even just social groups. (Obviously right now it's difficult to find either of those things though)

Feel free to drop a PM if you ever want a chat mate.
