Make moving out of this shit country and society a priority. There is not point in playing life on hard mode when you can live in places were is easy mode.

The problem it's not about how you look AT ALL. I had to find that the hard way by wasting a shit ton of effort exercising and improving my looks just to make it worst because now the assholes stopped just ignoring me and actively perceived me like serious competition. Being ignored by the normies it's a blessing that you don't know you have until you lose it.

To take better care of my health so I can show up for myself, because no else will. I abused too much drugs, alcohol, weed, and smoked cigarettes day and night throughout my twenties, and none of it helped. That’s my only regret.

It's strange, I went to school with a guy that got the highest score in NCEA in the country, he was presented gold medals for his effort and everything. I think I've posted about him before on wizchan. He ended up stacking timber for a career at a timber yard, he's been there for ten years at this point.

He even said he only studied because he was depressed, no other reason really.

Why?
Studying hard was literally the worst decision of my life.
I also used to work out and had muscles, years ago, but it was just a waste of time. Exercise helps iun many ways but not gym; for your health just walk and do some push-ups

Applying the scientific studies and folk psychology won't help you
Your spiritual quest will lead nowhere
The internet only gets worse, there is no meaningful solution. Searching for language and words is a waste of time.
There is no meaningful solution in philosophy
The idealistic values you were raised on will only make you unhappy
You won't be able to commit suicide as soon as you think, your parents survive their illnesses
You won't find anyone to help you
There is no rock bottom - you can only starve out the addictions before they can get worse
Decades of works don't stop your mind getting worse.

There is no solution, there is no synthesis, there is no satisfying outcome. Your birth was a mistake and you have no place here, there is only waiting for death and to disappear. Use your youth to train to wait for death before your mind gets too rotten.

This thread proves vast majority here are just failed normals. They would just tell their younger themselves to be try harder to be a normal . Men like me who are genuine schizoid, inferior genetic mutant and no matter how hard they try still will be incapable to be a normal people are just tiny minority. I’m genetically inferior and even If I talked to my younger self nothing would’ve changed.

1. learn more about psychiatry before dismissing it.
2. not to be so paranoid about trusting psychiatrists because they only care about medical symptoms.
3. start psych meds asap. meds suck to begin with. stop starting and stopping meds before they have a chance to work. side effects like drowsiness go away.
4. you actually also have adhd. not just depression. so better find a doctor who believes you.
5. not to worry so much about wagie or moving out.
6. stay away from recreational drugs because it has too many risks.
7. dont bother learning c++ because its dog shit. learn mathematics instead. most stuff in the future ends up being possible with C or Python. focus on Python over other languages.

I really do wish I had proper psychiatrist treatment early on. I think it would have changed the course of my life. I probably could be further along or better educated… I did what I could.

Please enlighten me what a wizard can do with math. i have a postgraduate degree so i'd love to know. Fact is that you're a child and havent realised t's only for normalfags working in institutions and big companies. You can't do anything solo with math.

Python vs C++ is likewise: there are a lot of normalfag python jobs like in data science where you suck the dick of business bros, but the few wizardly remote jobs tend to be less popular languages like C++ and rust

This is besides the typical crypto/lottery memery

-You are already bald and ugly, even if you are not fat you have no chance of even forming basic friendships. Not only you are ugly but also you lack social skills. The experiences you have are unique and solely because of your bad appearance and mental retardation. You will not be able to fix this. Accept your apprenticeship gracefully.
-But you lucked out, you belong to 1% of your country. But you live in a 3rd world shithole. One civil war or coup away from losing everything. You have to get out. Yet being in 1% in your country is meaningless as you wealth is not even a half a million dollars. No country will give you investment citizenship for that amount.
-Therefore it is vital that you have an useful major in college, computer science or industrial engineering or whatever. Any major that would land you a job which you can wageslave for 3-7 years. Afterwards you can get a citizenship in 1st world. When you do that move all your wealth to 1st world and return to your 3rd world shithole. You can live in your 3rd world without any worry, withdrawing 500$ a month from some anglo 1st world bank, and bail off with your anglo/european passport if a civil war occurs.
-Take care of your health, it is much easy to be healthy in your 20s than in your 30s. You can afford to be obese in 20s you cannot in your 30s. The weight and other shit will come back biting you in the ass
-For gods' sake have fun. Why are you saving money which you cannot move out of your 3rd worldshithole anyways? Why the fuck you use an 8 year old computer? Why you never buy the analog camera you always wanted? Why you never take nature pictures because travel was expensive? Why ou never bought a car and had to suffer changing 3 transits just to get to somewhere? Why you never get into 40k because it is too expensive? Why on earth you live frugal you dumb fuck. In 10 years you will be too old for most of this shit. Stop being a tight ass. Mellow out in your 20s not in your 30s. Spend in your 20s not when you are too old.
-Move out of your parents house, you have a summer house that your parents never use since 2001. Why not go to university there? A lot of things that you deem normal are actually weird as fuck, that includes you but also your family. You will stop tolerating your parents bullshit in your 30s but by then it will be already too late. Love your parents but do not tolerate your parents bullshit.
-Stand up for yourself a bit more. No matter how hard you are shut in you will never get rid of the bullies. They will just change forms, in the guise of brick&mortar shopkeepers who overcharge, tradesmen who do not do their job properly, car dealers, beggars, civil servants and school officials. Your conflict avoidance and not asking for trouble/hassle will only make them bolder. Just because you are 20something doesn't mean they have the right to stomp you. Realize sometimes you have to fight, even verbally. If shop tries to overcharge you, fight. If a civil servant makes things difficult for you for no reason fight. Do not hold yourself back just to keep out of trouble. THE TROUBLE HAS ALREADY FOUND YOU.
-Please for gods sake overcome your fear of going outside. I understand you were beaten very hard when you were 12 had been chased by junkies at 14 and mugged very viciously when you were 17 which made you scare even to go to market. But by the time you are 20-21 you have already changed. Your ugly face, your messed up facial hair, your large shoulders will become enough deterrent. People who beat others for fun often target teenagers for a good reason and muggers often want your money and nothing else. World is scary alight but not as scary as you think it is. Plus in few years smartphones will be very prominent and cameras will be everywhere, people will think twice before attacking you in the middle of a busy street.
-Realize that 15-20somethings don't know anything barring the last decade. You will only realize this in late 2010s, when you encounter people who don't know basic shit or large events in 2000s. Teens and early tweens will often thing the conditions and history they live in existed for eternity. But realize everything, this too, shall past.
-By the time you are 23-24 you will realize video games, tv shows will stop targeting you. While you think you are out of the pop cultural sphere, you actually are in it. Accept that you moved out of the target demographic, and for love of gods don't ever play the game life is strange. You will realize you cannot resonate with 2013 highschool seniors anymore. And these guys are basically "the last millenials" nevermind the zoomers that will come after them.
-Play more video games, you will not regret one minute of playing morrowind or vtmb or warband. Read less self help books. They are useless and you will regret every second of your time wasted on them.
-2013 will be the last year of 2000s feels. That is the without people having a large social media presence (which you will never have), people still using nonsmart phones with buttons. This will all change after 2013. You will realize entire webpages will be designed for mobile, social media shit will be everywhere. There will be very few places where you will still enjoy 2000s feels. This place being one of them. Cherish them, even if many are phoneposting.
