tinyE: I just turned 38 a few days ago and I'm hurting big time in that regard. It's not so much that I've lived half my life it's that I've waisted have of it. I literally haven't accomplished anything which is both depressing and kind of funny; you'd think in 38 years one would accidentally do something.

Fenixp: You accidentaly made a bunch of us cover our monitors in saliva and bits of food, so that's a thing you did.
XD Thanks but I'm still probably going to lay awake in bed tonight weeping about this. :D

OT but regarding accomplishments. Anyone ever win a game, or even just a level or mission, and feel like they just climbed Everest? Before I turned in last night I won mission 5 of Settlers 10th Ann (which isn't that hard) but there I was walking around my room mumbling to myself, "I'm the man!"

jjsimp: At 21 you are feeling that way? You still have a lot more fun years coming your way. Try 40...on surveys I am now in the 40-59 category. I guess I need to start going to play Bingo and get one of those rascal scooters.

A lot of successful people didn't really start to do anything with their lives until around your age or much later. You still have time.

One of the reasons I play video games so much is because I'm good at playing videos games. I often dominate others in multi player games and it makes me feel like the man. But in real life, I'm the noob who gets dominated. :( I hope to change that someday but until then I will only be "the man", the "big dog", the "big monkey" in video games...

Soccorro: Does anyone else feel like half his life is over? I mean I'm 21 and still trying to get into university. And when im finished (I hope it'll go fine) then i might be around 30. I have waited for nearly 2 years straight now and it feels like i'm wasting my time.
I'm still in my early twenties, I still haven't achieved anything and I still feel young. Despite our aspirations, the vast majority of people never actually achieve anything of importance; I have come to terms with the fact that I'm almost certainly among them. It's better that way.

I don'T want to achieve anything important, i'd just like to study then find a job, that's it. But i have proven to be a disaster during interviews.

I'm fucked off with pretending that my life is going well, simply because other people don't want to hear how shit I feel and how I'm supposed to be grateful for everything in my life and how, if I don't like my life, I'm supposed to magically conjure up a new job and friends. I'm fucked off with people assuming that I have some kind of choice, that I have some kind of magic wand and that I can just go on and do a different degree or apprenticeship

I'm fucked off with not having the strength or willpower to assert myself, and I'm fucked off with being used by people from all sides as a result and ruining my life. I'm fucked off for having studied the wrong thing at university because everyone pushed me into studying it because "computers are a dead end".

I'm fucked off with being stuck in a dead-end freelance job where I'm paying over half of my income on tax, health insurance and rent/utilities for my office. I'm fucked off with spending 99% of my time in contact with people who see me either as some kind of whipping boy or as some kind of money tree.

I'm fucked off for having moved for my girlfriend's sake to Lübeck, a dead-end city with fuck-all in the way of job opportunities, and where everyone is so insulate that even after FOUR FUCKING YEARS, I still haven't been able to make any friends. Not that Lübeck is entirely to blame, as my work takes up 50-60 hours of my week anyway.

I'm fucked off that my job involves doing nothing creative or useful except make undeservedly rich people even richer, and doing that for a relative fucking pittance. I'm fucked off that the one field I loved working in has all but collapsed because Germany is so fucking anti-gaming.

I'm fucked off that my lifelong retreat/hobby - gaming - has turned into a commercialised cess-pool, and that my source of relaxation has turned into a ceaseless game of watch-your-back-or-else-you'll-get-ripped off. I'm fucked off that my main means of social contact nowadays - the net - seems to be full of nerdragers and fanboys, and that it's fucking impossible to have a sensible conversation with anyone.

But most of all, I'm fucked off that I feel so dead inside nowadays that I have no drive to do anything about the above, nor any belief that anything can be done about it.
