/dep/ - Depression

It's a bad roll. I had to roll at least a 2 to at least be normal and I rolled a 1. Critical failure.

Not a first worlder, but a guy who I went to Uni with is now in another country and already bought his own apartment years ago, last time I checked on him he was progressing in his career meanwhile I am still not even at square one, He was just luckier than I because his father lived in a better country and managed to find him a job through connections, he barely studied or attended classes regularly or anything.

I know some people like that who 'made' it too. One is an old friend from elementary school. I almost never see him anymore but we live in a small town so sometimes we still talk. He is 26, married his high school gf a few years ago, they have an apartment they own and three cats. He's not even in a super fancy career, he just started working after finishing 10th grade and that's why he's basically set now.
The other guy I met in high school and he was kind of a Chad unironically. Not necessarily god like looks but probably a 7 or 8. Most of all it was the way he carried himself and acted, it was always like he was in complete control. He was also top of the class and really industrious and in the time it has taken me to get halfway through my Bachelors he is almost finishing up his Masters and even doing a semester abroad in Japan.
It is what it is. I have my own issues that held me back and I'm working on it. I just have to accept that I will always lag behind most people in terms of socially expected milestones. But then again, I already knew a decade ago that I would become a wizard and with every passing year I come closer to it. Some of us are just a little too abnormal to function well in society. We just have to try to get by regardless.

we whiped out our chances, it may be CLOSELY too late

Whilst many people I've grown up with have become even bigger losers than me, ie: Dead, OD'd, life sentences, homeless and cracked out. I also know some that are having hollywood tier success. World class kick boxer or muay thai some type of fighting but he's literally top 3 in his sport, winning lots of money for it. Sometimes see him at work and he sometimes says hello. I can see the pity in his eyes. Others are just generic office/dev jobs and they have million dollar mansions and luxury ferrari type cars.

I know this sounds like cope but most of the mc mansions and fancy cars are financed. It's all debt to keep up appearances.

>I'm in my 30s. People I went to school with and family friends are married, have high paying careers and are healthy. I got the advantages of parents, an education and the first world and high performing peers and I still fumbled it all.


How do I put my similar problem… My parents broke apart so violently they scared me away from leading "normal" life. At least I work as a warehouse solo handler.

It seems the people at high school remained who they were and nobody changed. The nerds all got tech office jobs, the smart kids became lawyers and doctors. The kids smoking weed behind the bikesheds became eventual full on crack addicts and hard druggies. The gregarious guy became a radio host. The autistic kid became a transgender who looks exactly like the ACK meme. The delinquents that dropped out around 14 got jobs working nightshift at a factory or doing labouring jobs.

r/inherentism helps with this feel.

A new Ferrari SF90 is 800k these days. Aint nobody leasing or financing one. We'd be talking 10-15k monthly payments.

Driving one means the person is filthy rich and bought it with cash.

Not him, but I've known people with oil rig money that have absolutely crashed down financially after the oil rig gets mothballed.

Normies are unfathomably stupid with money.
