I live a mundane, comfortable, routine, safe, depressing life and people say "you need to do the things you want pursue your dreams etc" but when I think hard about what I KNOW really makes me happy its very immature stuff like

>casual sex with the hottest women I can get
>no responsibility or accountability to anyone but myself
>work whatever jobs I feel like working, pursue whatever goals I feel like pursuing, manage my finances and personal business however I want with no butting in from anyone

Literally everyone in my life blasts for me this shit from my parents to uncles to brothers to friends to therapists, they all say some form of "wow you should have grown out of all that you should want a career and marriage and family idk what your problem is but doing what you want will make you miserable eventually" and I dont fucking get it, im miserable NOW having done the whole college thing, in a career, working a 9 to 5, I feel like I live my life for other people and their expectations and I feel like im dying inside and just wanna run off and be selfish damn like its my fucking life

But I know my loved ones are trying to give me real advice and care about me, maybe they really see some pitfalls I can't see, but what else do I do? I know that stuff will make me happy, i have no plan B

so what are you doing to work towards your goals other than just whining on the Internet

I've some sympathy with your family: these are the sort of answers you'd expect a child to give. The biggest problem with them is simply that most of them are very unlikely to be achievable. Causal sex you may or may not be able to organise; if you can, fine. But what exactly is your PLAN for achieving any of the other stuff? How is it going to happen? Unless you have a good answer to that, there's no point in having ambitions that you haven't the remotest idea how to achieve. And while you're slacking around daydreaming about jobs that DON'T EXIST, how are you going to earn a living, pay for a mortgage, and save for your retirement? I suspect people aren't being critical so much as worried. They don't think you're going to make it in the long term if you're thinking that way.

Everyone wants these things, they are reasonable, and plausible to attain. Nobody, including you it seems, wants to put in the work though. You already know, or at the very least have a vague idea what steps you need to takes to achieve these things. What advice are you asking for exactly?
