it's been 9 years and counting; if they took better care of themselves and didnt waste their money on trivial shit, i'd be better off right now

my mind's so fucked up all i can think about is money now
>think of going out
>think about how much money i have to spend on gas, food, etc.
>never go out
now i spend my days going to work, and i give almost my entire salary to her so she can buy groceries or some shit

Given this is true. I am sorry to hear anon. God bless you. Finding the strenght to go through it is hard.

>>81916955
Sounds pretty bad too, soviet bro.. Is 300 even enough to live?

>>81917196
i own the place so no rent,college is free,i smuggle myself for the train fare most times,bills are never over ~40eur and i keep food at 200eur so barely thank god i am a young man.
So its survival but nothing more

it's not actually so bad when you have a girlfriend. you're all completely correct to consider this the lynchpin. it really will make everything better if you love her and she loves you.

nothing ever changes. im realising that the issue is me. ive tried to get out more, or work more hours, or be social, but it always ends in a burnout and me regressing to this stage again. its like my brain cannot age past being a teenager. i dont think it will ever get better anymore. wonder where ill end up when i cant stay here either

>>81916443 (OP)
get a job one step at a time. you don't need the perfect resume immediately. work on it tomorrow again, maybe just fill out some small stuff. take a break gaming or watching something. then continue with some more small stuff. bit by bit you will have a resume. then similiarly bit by bit you look for jobs.
working can suck, but I think if you had a job at least your situation at home with your mom would be a much more pleasant one.

>Given this is true
I wish it wasn't, anon
the fucked up part is I CAN get the girls, I HAVE friends, but at the end of the day I just can't afford having them
>talk to girl?
>i have to consider gas, date, cheap hotel, etc.

>>81917493
Yes I get what you're saying. If it can help you, I have this friend who is a broke nigga that cosplays (idk how) lives with mom at 35 and still does get girls. I don't know the trick though, but he's constantly having at least 1 girl to go out with. You CAN do it. I just don't know how.

>>81917510
thanks, anon
we'll see in a few years

>>81917541
Also for the cheap hotels Idk. You can fuck them at their place XD or in the car. That's the way

my friend is your age and he runs his own business and travels the world
i know a girl who's 25 and she lives in a foreign country alone and hangs out with all kinds of rich and famous people

don't you feel a bit pathetic compared to them?

>Parent says get a job
>Does nothing to help you
My mom wanted me to get a job, so she asked a friend to employ me, now I have a job. Your mom should be more sympathetic and help you succeed.

All I have to add to this thread is that having an overprotective mother and a non-existent father is one of the worst parenting combos one could have and it's one of the reasons why I'm so passive and scared of everybody

>>81918089
relatable. having no parents at all would be better than this, at least i'd be more self-sufficient and able to do basic things by myself
