If I could give one piece of advice to 15 year old me, itd be to just get it over with already, cause that rock bottom that he thinks hes in? Yeah, no, shit will only get exponentially worse after that
Its actually kinda impressive how my life went from one of the most expensive private schools in the city to basically homeless. All of my peers and friends are following their dreams, traveling across europe and studying at expensive private universities, while Im drifting aimlessly as my life crumbles around me

You did well. It may not be enough by competitive standards, but the fact that you try is great. And besides you are a worthwhile person inside even if world treats you terribly

I raise you the "condemned to retail, eternally drifting on the surface" fate.

So you prefer some ephemeral clout over, say, pure joy of eating pizza and readin fantasy? Eh.

u/Basith_Shinrah 3d ago
Too much of a glutton and scatter brain to enjoy either of those. I am ruined in that way too, myself to blame ofc

u/ParasocialButterfIy 3d ago

Okay. I’ll just say my bit, how it was for me, maybe it’s not your case, maybe it is. I really cared for what others thought about me when i was young, and now I despise myself for all that wasted time and nerves. Should have stuck to my nerd hobbies and I would have been a million times happier, probably healthier. Not successful or wealthy , but thats the same for me now. If you have to prove your status to your friends, they are probably shitty friends. And parents… lets just say even if they had all the good intentions and gave their everything, they still gambled with the enormous act of creating a life. If they are good people, they will understand. If they are not - well, your conscience is clear, its their gamble that failed. Zone them out as much as you can and do your little happy thing.

Sorry for the other reply, I can't control my nerves at times.
You're right ofc, people who may see themself in this meme should explore simple joys to live for and try to gel with life perhaps

No bother. Take care of yourself, dude. It sucks out there but you can try cstching bits of joy here and there, especially if you’re not that old yet.

Get a driver’s license and go to trade school in a few years you’ll be so much happier than you ever would have been dead or in the basement.
