You are a different person to your 2016 self, right? You HAVE changed your life since then... surely? You haven't just been NEETing and going nowhere for the last 9 years right anon? right?!

>>81717807 (OP)
I was 10 in 2016 so yes, I've changed a lot. I've become a depressed NEET. I was much happier then.

>>81717807 (OP)
Still an adult, still miserable, look identical, still in the same place.

>>81717807 (OP)
i was 12 in 2016 im such a zoomer

>>81717816
aoomer
real zooms were teenagers in 2016 lil sis

>>81717807 (OP)
>You HAVE changed your life since then... surely?
i mean maybe a little bit
>You haven't just been NEETing and going nowhere for the last 9 years right anon?
yeah i have been doing that

>>81717828
how do you cope with the despair of realising 2016 was 9 years ago?

>>81717832
poorly, i break down crying and asking for death multiple times a week, did just this morning actually

>>81717807 (OP)
Much better sure.. Still neet though.
>if it ain't broke why fix it?

>>81717807 (OP)
Well since then, I've lost my damn mind, but have also lost 60 lbs, so overall an improvement.

>>81717807 (OP)
>2016
I graduated high school, went to uni, and dropped out of uni. Now I'm NEET.

>>81717832
Despair? lol

>>81717807 (OP)
I just recently found a manifesto about enslaving women I wrote in 2016

I hate women more now

>>81717846
We're twins, cute.

>>81717807 (OP)
Started therapy in '16. Quit going but I'm still putting in the work on my own. Holy shit. 10 years to undo all my narcissistic child abuse.

>>81717857
share it based anon

>>81717865
Holy fuck, good on you, man. Genuinely, most of the people on this board are too scared to even try therapy but you stuck with it and are making real change. Truly, I am happy for you and wish you well. :)

I have more money, not much else. Every attempt I make to build a life falls apart. I get so close to having someone who will be with me forever, and it all falls apart... That year specifically was one of the worst years of my life. I think about them a lot. Now this and last month are the second worst parts of my life. I do the right things to improve, all of them. But my reward is to be trapped in hell.

>>81717906
I take it back, now is even worse than then.

>>81717965
what happened bud e

>>81717984
Lost the only things that mattered in my life to me, twice. Both when I was about to start a real life. This time is much worse because I'm old and cannot recover from it anymore.

>>81717807 (OP)
Let's see

>finished college and got a meme degree
>lost weight, gained it, now trying to lose again
>got first job
>got first apartment

I made some progress at least since that time frame considering i was basically just a teen then. Im still behind in accomplishments or goals compared to many people my age but i still think i can get them done before i'm 35

>>81717906
After peaking 2-3 years ago, the last year and a half plus have been the worst of my adult life. I see a lot of people online with that sentiment.
(My childhood was on a whole different level of bad and I don't compare the two eras).
Maybe the people who were having bad times 2-3 years ago have killed themselves

Same shit. I've flailed my last trying to tread water in life. I've drowned. Everything I try fails.

>>81717807 (OP)
i have stopped neeting but i feel trapped in my life. i feel stupid and lonely. i found someone and lost them and i wonder if i can ever have some sort of happy ending like those cheesy unrealistic stories.

>>81718004
i just meant in the last 12 minutes between your posts, but iktf very well, sorry to hear it

>>81717807 (OP)
I've done a lot of shit over the last 10 years like travelling the world to various conflict zones as part of my job, nearly dying a few times, having all kinds of adventures, and somehow it all came full circle and I'm back to living by myself in an apartment in bumfuck nowhere doing sadlord shit, no social life, etc. I did the ultimate in "going outside" but it resulted in fuckall lmao

>>81717807 (OP)
I'm more hateful and miserable which didn't even seem possible

i want to go back to sept 2016

I was a fatfuck in 2016 and now I'm /fit/ but gained a bit of weight (not too much like I'm 197-200 lbs right now at 6'0 and since I workout/lift it isn't THAT bad) so yeah my life has improved.
Still a virgin though at 27 so it's over.

>>81717814
Why do we allow underaged fags in here.

>>81717807 (OP)
everything I tried failed now I'm waiting to die

>>81717881
>too scared
retarded goy slave faggot

Me in Summer, 2016:
>in my penultimate university semester, living on-campus
>still working out excessively
>completed the internship at the end of last year, no paying job though
>studying for N3 of the JLPT since I passed N4
>noticeably more alone, but it's fine
>at the top of my game in university, knocking out these last classes with reports, essays, even a diorama of the Korean DMZ
>"I doubt that Trump guy is going to win, but I'm seeing a lot of red hats these days..."
>vacillating between liberal and centrist
Me, today, Summer of 2025:
>work six days a week part-time at a warehouse
>NOT doing anything even remotely related to my degrees
>exercising excessively, but it's starting to take its toll on my body
>somewhat financially stable; have a car and my own place now (live alone)
>still studying for N3 of the JLPT (failed multiple times since 2015)
>"The beatings will continue until class relations change or are abolished"
>missing four teeth
Things could be magnitudes worse, I guess

>>81717807 (OP)
If you're targeting me I hope you know I didn't give up and start being semi-NEET until the first half of 2017.
My glowie 4chan mod stalkers are getting just as brain damaged as I am now, lmfao!

>>81717807 (OP)
2016 self:
>NEET living with parents
>high school drop out
>320 pounds
>virgin
>filthy room
2025 self...

Main problem is I fulfilled a certain goal and things have looked aimless since.
I don't think that would have changed

>>81717807 (OP)
not much different, practically the same

>>81717807 (OP)
Somewhat, I've got a motorcycle now and I'm skinny. I got married @ my 3rd relationship but it was a facade.
I'm going to get ripped, a Bonevvile T120 , and grind to pay the house so I can finally live the neet life I deserve.

normalfag broke the combo, wrap it up everybody

>>81718035
what job did you have anon? is it private

>>81718937
being able to mimic normalfag shit doesn't mean true normalfaggotry.
also, relationships with femcels does not mean success

>>81717868
The rest is just too cringe, written in the writing style of the Rodge

>>81717807 (OP)
I was 18 on 2016, joined the army, shit went by fast and now I play video games competitively.

>>81717814
>>81717816
come here little anon, I want to drain your youth. I was 18 in 2016 little boy. back in my day...
>>81717851
same

still have the same job that i hate 10 years later

some things are different though, i'm definitely fatter, balder, weirder, and angrier than before

>You are a different person to your 2016 self, right?
Not really. Still incel. Just nine years closer to a merciful death.
>You HAVE changed your life since then... surely?
Nope. Tried to wage-cuck once more in 2017 and got canned after a week, so fuck it.
>You haven't just been NEETing and going nowhere for the last 9 years right anon? right?!
Oh, yeah! The 'bux cunts finally had to acknowledge I truly am too mentally ill to work, so I've been left alone since '22. It's great. Just wish I could get cunny.

>>81717807 (OP)
different person? oh yeah, you betcha
>multiple suicide attempts in college
>covid happens, sent to a quarantine camp
>dad dies during covid, didnt get to burry him
>mom almost dies too, had to be put on oxygen
>take some time off to focus on family, quit my job
>get a new job but it sucks, company witheld our pay and the whole staff quit 6 months in
i have no social life, no hobbies, don't even go out except for work anymore - too jaded i guess

>>81717807 (OP)
I change for the worst. I wasn't like this when I was a kid sure people still ignore me since I'm a ugly sea monkey but now I feel hate for begin this thing

>>81717807 (OP)
I am indeed much different but I'm still a neet, problem?

>>81717807 (OP)
>the last 9 years
Try 25+
You can keep your normalfaggots, clown world, wage-slavery, and vaginal jewry.

I regret nothing.

>>81718028
I thought about them again and got really sad, and realized I missed them way more.

>>81719054
>lowest power lens

>>81717807 (OP)
I graduated high school in 2016 and went to college until I dropped out after I got my Associate's. Been NEETing ever since. I at least have more friends now than I've ever had at any point in my life.

>>81717807 (OP)
In 2016 I was 14 and back then I hated my life because I got bullied all the time in school and my parents were really dynamic drug addicts. One minute they were normal and the next they weer really violent. I remember having trouble sleeping because of theirs bubbler being loud. I don't have any of this problems bow but I'm alone and living like a neet, keeping a productive hobby by drawing. I don't mind the world making me blackpilled on how nasty people are and how love us completley conditional. So long as the world leaves me alone to contribute then I'm happy

i miss being a teenager staying home all day and getting my NEET on, like 16-20 ages
but when you reach your mid 20s that life is just awful, i had to move on from those years

I've actually gotten worse. I'm currently obese and in 2016, I was thin. I had my whole life ahead of me in 2016 but then I didn't go to University so my life went to shit. I had to go to community college instead. I'm currently doing my internship now and I'm still broke and I feel like giving up and just being a NEET again. I'm also an undiagnosed sperg and I stay undiagnosed because I live in a country where a diagnosis costs a lot of money and you need to be a shit smearing tard wrangled autist to qualify for benefits. If you're at least Chris Chan tier, you have to get a job.

>>81717807 (OP)
Every day I understand myself and my surroundings more and I am doing my best

>Same person
>Just richer and happier
