>I'm only 23. My friends are just getting out of college, we're still all basically kids!
>I'm 24; that's not even half way to 30! I still have time!
>I'm only 25; that's right smack in the middle of my twenties, and I'm basically in the prime years of my life! I can still get my shit together... tomorrow, for sure!
>I'm still only 26... we're fine.
>I'm 27 now, but that's still pretty young. I can still do something with my life
>haha, my 28th birthday. Only two more years to go before I turn 30... It'd be a little awkward to start taking college classes now, so I'll just try to get a job... somewhere...
>haha, 29 years old... No one really wants to take a chance on a guy my age with little to no job experience, but it's okay... I can still... do something...

There was a screencap I saw floating around very similar to this long ago. Despite having a college degree and an ok job, my social life is nonexistant.

My only friends are online. I always hear them talking about doing stuff like traveling, taking trips to other countries, meeting up IRL to go to events.
I can't do any of that because I'm a NEET with no job living off gibs like a parasite.

Are they really your friends or just acquaintances?

>>81642228
I don't know the difference, really. We hang out on voice call. We play video games together. We've known each other for 10 years at least. We talk to each other about our lives. We know each other's real names.
But I've never met any of them in person.

>little to no job experience at 29
what were you doing with your free time? playing steam games and jacking off?

>>81642328
playing video games
reading comics, manga, and books
listening to music
watching youtube videos

basically any kind of escapism because I was depressed and anxious about everything. I did technically have job experience, but they were at two dead-end service jobs. One where I was working as a line cook at McDonalds and the other was a cashier at a gas station. Neither lasted more than a year. That last one was in 2021.

I have some online friends I met off 4chan like that, except we've had a couple meetups

you should try to do that with them dude

>>81642380
I wish I could. Like I said, they have met up several times but I haven't attended any of the meetups because I'm a broke NEET living off government gibs
