There doesn't seem to be anything new and exciting going on these days.
No fads taking everyone by storm. No new technology everyone is discussing (AI is pretty meh at the moment, especially with the censorship). No new entertainment everyone has to see.
Maybe I'm out of the loop but I don't feel I am. Anyone else kinda feel this way?
Success comes from moving in the right direction. Shutting down while you still have breath in your lungs is never the right direction.
After decades of constant failure in everything I try it really seems pointless to keep trying. My youth is passing me by, most of it's already gone and I have nothing to show for it because I was never given the opportunities I need and everyone else blames me for not somehow "creating" opportunities.
I've been trying and repeatedly getting knocked down for nearly 40 years now, but I've never given up, and through it all I've grown significantly.
If you want an idea for what can help, for myself I've been caring for an elderly friend of my mother's for the past year. This has been helping me build social skills which I missed as a child, especially in regards to how to interact with women properly.
That's just the difference. "getting knocked down" implies you were able to achieve a level of success to begin with, whereas I've never even had the sort of opportunities that everyone else takes for granted.
That won't do anything to get me a woman, social skills aren't my problem, lack of opportunity and inability to get my foot in the door are the main thing holding me back and it seems like nobody outside of dedicated incel forums can even understand what that's like.
Yea... not really...
I've been an outsider since I was a toddler.
My point is that there are definitely concrete steps which can be taken, if you're willing to explore some unorthodox avenues.
