Pretty much this is the life for most people: - Stuck in the rat race known as a job to live.
- Didn't achieve your childhood dreams.
- Working 40+ hours in a monotonous job you hate.
- Marrying/committed to a person you do not really "love"... just a somewhat compatible with, who does expected tasks and doesn't annoy you too much.
- No loyalty. Cheating on your partner and vice versa. Everyone cheats, lettuce beef real tea.
- Shit boring co-workers talking about the same chit everyday... every fucking day.
- coworkers that eat shit and are fat cunts, you're surrounded by mediocrity, cope and depression.
- Neighbours. Your wife also has stale friends that talk about boring chit like the new washing machine they're planning on buying next week.. that's the highlight of their week.
- Going bald by 30. Test dropping. Losing beauty each year if you are a woman.
- having and raising kids that are little brats after age 12 and will abandon you in their 20's.
- No to little sex life after marriage.
- Work til your grave for 40-50 years.
- get put in a retirement home where you're treated like shit, beaten and pissed on.
I'm with you on all the job-related stuff, because most of us have to work and just because some people here have the jobs they want--studies will show you that about 70% of people DON'T like their jobs. If it's that many people, it's about more than just choices. Most jobs are not out there for you to like them--they're about getting paid.
But you don't have to get married or have kids, and I'm neither married nor have kids. I looked at everyone in my family growing up and while I was in college, and that's one thing I consciously said "no, thanks" to, particularly the kid part. I look at my sisters, who are married with kids, and the type of relationship they have with their husbands... I can't see how they're happy, and I could never be happy living like that. I'd like to get married in theory very much, but I also have realized over the last year or two that it won't be like my fantasy... and if not, then why do it? This I can control way more than my career, which depends heavily on who will hire me, being able to afford to go back to school to change careers, how much employers pay for my skillset, etc.
well, i *was* in shit relationships and working 60-hour weeks at a job i hated... didn't like where my life was headed, so i changed it.
i found a healthy relationship (we love like we're 80, fuck like we're 18) and went back to school so that i can have my childhood dream job. if you don't like where you are in life, you are the only one who can fix it.
And then there's the luck of choosing the right person to share your life with. No stats about it, of course , except the number of sinles and failed /unhappy marriages
Sounds about right. But one does have a choice. And also, there is an opportunity cost. If you pursue materialism and the rat race, then surely and realistically, there is less energy left over for real intimacy and connections with people. It's a question of priorities, and what one deems important, too. But generally, yes, I think society needs a revolution. It is the population as a whole that is holding us back. They still want to pursue this dead mediocrity, they still believe in it. That it's the pinnacle of what we're capable of.
Could be. I am personally still struggling to achieve my childhood dreams, even though I have a regular job on the side. And I try to surround myself with people I actually like. But there are a lot of bad things, first I never had any girl (not even a kiss) and never will since girls aren't attracted to me at all. I live in a shithole where you can't achieve anything, and its really hard to move to another country (best case scenario, i will be able to go in 6-7 years). im surrounded by criminals, junkies, drug dealers, whores etc and every day of my life could be my last. But I am still fighting, trying to get a better life in the future. Its hard as fuck
I live my life by my rules.. not society's. I'm still single despite my folks and everyone else pressuring me to find a wife and settle down (give them MALE grand children). Yeah.. I have a mostly shitty job and work another part-time to pay my bills. I've got a 1000 sq
Pretty much, depends though. If you have a decent job, friends, good family, maybe a girlfriend or love interest hen you are probably pretty well off. Not speaking about money
There are people that are rich and screwed up, divorced, on drugs and miserable. What you described is real life, not shit. Look at that guy's house in back of him? You have to work for that. Some people would love to be in his position.
When you put it that way then yes life is shit. Luckily I don't live like that and enjoy my time off work to have fun with friends and enjoy as much good times as I can.
Seems that you just described everything that makes your life miserable or will do. Not everyone faces such fucking problems (at least not most or all of them) and not everyone looses happiness because of them
A lot of people bring shit on themselves... with the decisions they make.

Yes it is Working 70 hours to feed my family, pay bills and pay another man's mortgage and of course the wife doesn’t appreciate my efforts she just looks over the fence at out neighbours and how that husband is able to provide better and more.
I don't know about everyone else but I have my childhood dream job, I love my job, I'm not going bald and neither is my fiancé who is 30, we still have sex as much as we did when we first started dating and I can work any hours I want. Can't remember what else you mentioned lol
