how do you guys cope with getting old?

Play video games and try not to think about my soulmate that broke up with me when I was 22.

It happens to literally everyone that stays alive. I'm not ashamed of staying alive.

>>512356602 (OP)
I faced my mortality at 14, so I have had years to think about this. Life loses something if it doesn't have an end. The time you waste or invest in your future has a value like anything else. What happens to the cost of anything if you flood it with an infinite supply? It becomes worthless. You will die, and the only thing that gives this day any value to you is that.

How ironic that you post something where the entire point is to just enjoy your life and not care.

>>512356602 (OP)
This ought to be good. For my part, i just pretend it isn't happening and avoid mirrors like a vampire.

I'm 26. I feel like 20 was yesterday. Covid made time go fast. I mean I'm still not that old. But I hate being old and can't imagine it. I'm not rich or own a house or girlfriend. Everything sucks. I wish started a youtube channel at 16. I wanted complete bucket list by 30. Why does it have to be like that. I will probably have to live 40-50 years in decline of body. I just want to be in athletic prime like 20 and look young. Why is nature so cruel. I don't wanna be old

>>512356924
Enjoy your health anon, you're just a lad at 26, don't waste time worrying.

I'm in my thirties and I've raised kids just to see them get murdered. I've watched multiple members of my family killed in cold blood and watched their murderer rot on death row for decades.

I don't know what to do with myself anymore.

Only the good die young...

I just turned 41. It's not that big of a deal. Maybe when I reach 60 or so I'll fret but this is something we all do. And when it's time to expire, we'll go through thay door. Maybe I'll be there waving. Maybe it'll just be oblivion. Until then, live.

Whatever. As long as you don't get too old like Dick Van Dyke looking like a fermented prune then you'll be fine. Probably says his goodbyes to his family every night just in case

By progressing in life. Having kids bettering yourself building your kingdom.

I go out and run a long way.

I simply live with the pain

I haven't been able to cope yet. I'm in my mid 30s and haven't had a girlfriend since I was in my 20s. My parents are aging, but still somewhat healthy, but I know that I'll probably never give them grandkids. Despite graduating college and working full time for over a decade now, I'm still not making more than $21/hr

Lately my drug usage has increased, which is dangerous as my new job can randomly drug test. So, I'm actually trying to be mostly sober now besides the occasional beer. But, I find sobriety extremely difficult. I just get insanely bored when I can't stuff my face with stimulant drugs and binge on pornography. Mainly I get depressed about my previous relationship and how I failed to keep us together. But the worst part is that years later I still feel emotionally numb. I still think women can be hot, but the idea of falling in love with another woman, I just don't know if it'll ever happen, which sucks, because I always wanted to do the normal thing and get married and have a family.

The fucked up part is that I think my desire for a stable relationship is what fucked up my life more than anything else. By the time I got out of college I'd had a couple flings with women that lasted a few months but nothing serious, and I felt lonely at that point. Whole time I was in university I just felt if I had a steady gf I could stop thinking about getting a gf and then I could actually focus on my future and what I wanted to study and what career I wanted. That never happened. And it never really happened after college that much. So I've just bounced around from shit job to shit job. Done some office work. Been a manager sometimes. Now I'm operating a large vehicle for transportation purposes. I've basically given up, and I'm just praying that one of my investments moons or that I win the lottery or something

being older can be very sweet

be spiritual
reincarnation religions a bit easier

have love inside of you
loving an older woman whom you knew when she was young, is one of the most beautiful things you can ever experience

enjoy a few things in life a huge amount, but not to excess
have some kind of healthy regime - good food, enough sleep, some exercise, meditation

have compassion and morality

in Asia they sometimes say you are approaching wisdom at 60 and finally wise at 70
maybe because in elderly years you finally have the 'balanced' sexual drive you thought you would have at 30

>>512357074
damn bro that sucks, I honestly can't imagine. I hate myself for never having accomplished anything of note in life, but what you had to deal with is just tragic. Keep holding on, you've done it once before, you can do it again

>>512356602 (OP)
Depends on your achievements.

If you're single with no career by your mid thirties then you're fucked

I don't really care, it happens and I can do nothing about it. I was always too different to my peers so I've come to peace with the thought that I will never have a partner or a kid. I spend my time making video games, that's what I love.

>>512356602 (OP)

bro i loved the pocket circuit races.. im surprised they weren't in most the games.. which one was that anyways? 3? 4?

A nurse in the psych ward told me that the average person doesn't sort things out until they're 38. 8 years is a long time.

>>512357857
>have love inside of you
that sounds extremely gay, feelings are retarded and disgusting

>>512357074
He asked what your supposed to do, not what you do when it all goes wrong... Mate you know exactly what your supposed to be doing now that it has all gone wrong.

37 and have a career that makes decent money.
Bought a house for my parents and live with them, own nice cars and money keeps stacking in the bank.
Parents keep pushing me to find a gf and get married but women are fucking retarded and thinks it's gross that I live with my parents.
You really can't win these days.

idk bro I'm fucking 24 years old turning 25 this year. I just got accepted in air traffic control school and I've done no fap/porn for the past 2 months in preparation resetting the wiring of my brain. I've even memorized phonetic alphabet today just for fun in preparation. I've done service jobs like a loser the last 5 years did some college but never found a career I liked or wanted to be a doctor enough to go into great debt this is basically my last hail marry at a somewhat respectable career

it's over for me if it doesn't work out so I'm going to literally give it my entire being and if I fail I'm going to just tell God when I died I gave it my all and even did nofap and took daily vitamins for brain health but it wasn't meant to be to be successful.

I just want a regular job to support myself with at this point desu without breaking my back. wish me luck boys , if I make it I promise if I see one of you autist outside in the cold I'll slip you some neet food so you don't go hungry after the government invetibly makes it so no white people are allowed to work the basic entry level jobs of everyday. I will do my part to help whites if I get this plz pray for me it's go time

it comforts me knowing that people I hate are aging too, and hating it more than me, and there are way more of them than there are of me, leading to an ever increasing happiness to pain ratio that makes me think I'll never need those erection pills

>>512356602 (OP)
Do only problem I am facing is that I don't have as much motivation or energy to pursue my failed goals as I used to, but so far I pretty much still in the same vibe as I was when I was a teen.
I am forever alone and I know no one gives a fuck about me so I give zero fucks about them or what they think.

If I somehow manage to make something before I go senile I will accept zero critics, no one can tell me jack shit Jack

>>512356747
when you reach 40 you start looking at people on the street differently
You acknowledge that the people you see are the survivors
There are countless ones that don't show up because they didnt make it

>24 years

Jesus you fucking zoomers are seriously fucking dramatic about age don't you?
You fuckers see aging as a death sentence or some shit.
You're quite literally at the flower of life, not even a real fucking man yet.
This questions are for old farts like me who are already getting crease on the face.
Men peak 30, you will have 5 years before your balls finally drop faggot, 38 is when testosterone decrease and is when shit starts to go down hill

>>512356602 (OP)
Behave like I'm still young but with wisdom to calculate what I do. Never stop doing physical activity. Address my flaws and mistakes and plan for the future with that in the front of my mind. Get closer to family. Believe in God, forgiveness, and the afterlife.

>>512358702
When I was a kid I used to find my friends literally at the drop of hat, in the early 2k's when the Internet wasn't a thing and cell phones where prohibitively expensive to use, we used to use pre paid that would allot us something like 30 minutes of call and 200 text messages or some shit.
The only time we would call each other was to set a time and place to meet and kick.
Most of the time I would just find them randomly at malls, stores, events and shit, we circle or own wagons allot back then.
I stayed in the same city but I haven't found a single one of them in decades, some of them might of move out but I know some of them might be dead by now, I can only wonder how many, I am afraid I'll probably never see any of them again

Man I'm an amateur athlete it's just that at some point I'm gonna be old and won't be in my physical prime. It scares me.

I wanted a wholesome kind of love and realized it's very rare and that I will likely not find the right kind of girl for that. I don't really mind and I accept whatever God has in store for me. I am happier to be alone as opposed to being with an awful person, so in that regard I have managed to win so far.

35 here. I started noticing my hair is a little balding in the back and my knees feeling a bit brittle. I think it's true that the older you get then the less fucks you give so life kinda balances out.

>>512358730
I just find out all of this mentioned is a huge mistake 2 weeks ago.
It sets you in wrong mind setting, people are calling me sir now and it was making me feel uncomfortable but now I know I am an old fuck and I am embracing it.
I want to act as a guy my own age, I don't want to hang out with kids, I don't even want to talk to them, I can only give them bad advice that would make me responsible for their mistakes and I seriously don't want that.

I don't want to act "young" shit I don't want to even feel young, I want whatever a man my age is supposed to do which give zero fucks about others and that the opportunities coming my way, I have no time to dwell on bull shit, specially other people's bull shit

It would get dark really fast if humans didn't die of old age. If we were full on immortal, it would become horrifying. This is a constant theme in literature, and we all accept this as self evident if we think about it long enough. Dopamine zombies fused to their computer chairs, eldritch horrors with human faces committing ever increasing levels of cruelty on anything that moves, mountains of flesh shoveling food into themselves, tyrants on power trips turning anything they can into an HOA, and the completely broken alternating between sobbing and babbling incoherently as they are preyed upon by anyone who finds them.

>>512356602 (OP)
I never thought I’d even remotely reach the age I’m at, I thought I’d kill myself before I even turned 18. Every year beyond that feels like a genuine blessing at this point. Every day feels great, even stressful horrible days still have that subtle “yes but I am alive” feeling in the background. It really feels like a reward by God for my shitty childhood, that I endured and now I get to enjoy life. And so I don’t mind getting old, every new day brings new things, and I’ll enjoy it until I die.

>>512359208
You got a cute daughter i could marry? Ill help ya with the sheep herding business.

Just remember myself when I was 10 years younger and remember how much of a retard I was back then and then I feel a bit better

>>512359166
Best part is that you start to look women of all ages attractive, teens, tweens, 30's, cat ladies and even some geriatric with a nice ass.
I guess it comes with the age that you start to appreciate the finer things in life

>>512359208
lol you remind me of 60-70 year old accomplished persons who post a heckin 1 hour youtube video a day

By lowering my ego and realising that I'm not that important. And that most people don't give a fuck about me whether I'm old or young. And even if they did, the only way I'd enjoy it is if I was a cringe narcissistic fuck.
