I wasted my youth locked up, and with the screen as the only company. it's not something I wanted or chose, but that's how things were. I knew I could never make up for lost time, and I thought that by sorting out my financial life and earning a lifetime income at an early age, I could achieve freedom and live once and for all.
I started this when I was 16, it was supposed to be a 5 year plan, investing, and saving everything. Now that time has passed and I have 3 months to go before turning 22, I was unable to achieve my goals. I only got a third of the way to achieve them due to my indiscipline. I have the ability and the means to be a great businessman, but the determination and discipline of a child.
The sad part is that you realize that the most important capital is not in the land, money or a vehicle, a man's most important capital is his knowledge, something I don't have, living in agonizing ignorance. There really is no better feeling than coming home with a wad of cash, and seeing your entire house slowly fill up with boxes and more boxes. When you see what you have built, And even though in reality everything remains the same, there is a really nice feeling of growth.

I am interested in the recommendation. There is a lot of criticism of self-help books, but I once read Seneca and it is basically a guide and moral support in difficult situations.
>access to crucial information is almost impossible to come by. Success its exponential
I have tried to look for information on how to make money or how to get out of isolation many times, and most of it was pure crap. Especially about money. What I mean is that answers adapted to a context far removed from yours are of no use. That is why everyone has to find their own way and do things in the way that is most convenient for them.

>>294194You need to socialize. The isolated genius is a fantasy. Any rich person who says they did it by themselves is a self-centered liar. To succeed you need to go out and make connections. healthy socialization causes your brain will work better, you will magically find more motivation, and you will learn far easier than on your own.

>>294205can you explain "healthy socialization"? what does that even look like?
honestly when i think of the average normalfag interaction, it's disgusting to me and if that's what "healthy" means, then i'd rather be sick.
No.294207
>>294206It is just interacting with people for the sake of interacting with them. It doesnt have to be whatever you think "normalfag interaction" is. You said you have goals. Well, look for groups and clubs and classes that align with those goals. Talk to people with sharted interests, get familiar with them and then things should naturally flow from there.
Just dont use people as a means to an end. Connecting with people is the end that you are seeking with socialization.

>>294214Socialization appearing difficult after a long dry spell is pretty common. You are lucky to be your age in a time where health professionals are considering this a big problem and it has become quite well documented for all ages. Just google social isolation treatment plans for young adults to get an idea of what you can do. The US surgeon general also put out an advisory titled "our epidemic of loneliness and isolation." I would recommend reading it if you want to know exactly how the lack of socialization affects your health.

>>294220>>294220Isolation is slowly killing me. Everything is the same, but every year that passes is harder than the previous one. I am not the same since I was 16 until today. Before I had money, I had projects, and I spent time on the computer, but you are happy, now everything feels more and more dull.
I came to the conclusion that a course, a sport, or school are the way to meet someone. Even so, I reached a point where I think it is easier to make a living without working than to socialize with someone my age, and that's not even talking about friends or similar things.
No.294222
>>294221it is all in your head. It is just what social isolation does. Just push through those feelings and do what you need to do to make those connections that you need. If you have the resources then absolutely do find a therapist to help you with this transition.
I would also advise to drop the concept of socializing with people in your age group. There are many reasons why you want to socialize with people your age, but when it comes to health, age doesn't matter that much. Volunteer at the local old folks' home if you want. Old people are the most vulnerable group for loneliness and isolation so you will likely be helping them more than yourself. Volunteering may even help with a sense of purpose if you are struggling with that. That is why socialization is so important, it has the tendency to compound into other things.

I used to be able to create many threads, it was fun and entertaining. I never used these sites as a personal blog like now.

>>294224If you are a person without a high school education, without money, who spends his day in front of a screen and locked up at home with parents who support him, then you can do it. As long as you can increase capital. It's not about keeping money in a box, it's about using every bit of money you have to generate income.
If you live with your parents it is more than feasible, if not it is more complicated but living like a rat is better than being a slave for the rest of your life.
>>294222In terms of "difficulty" talking to the elderly and people my age is the same. But even if it sounds a bit selfish, seeing someone my age, regardless of their condition or background, who He has a good physique, academically better, or having a good income, makes me want to be a better person in some way, and when I see people in a worse situation, they help me understand that even with all the bad times in my situation, not everything is so bad.

For me at least, before 30 I always felt sad. But I also felt a vague glimmer of hope. Like, "I can still turn it around," and "things can still get better." But after 30, it hit different.
