Anyone else pseudo-successful here? Have a good job but still forever alone?

I'm a doctor and I've been on /r9k/ since 2010 kekw

I would call that successful, not pseudo-successful. You have a highly respected job and make a lot of money

I'm a "software engineer"
I make around 85k before tax I think. It's enough to be comfortable as a single guy.

>>81926822 (OP)
What field? I'm a surgeon and I make 400k a year, and I'm a khhv.

>>81926833
It's pseudo-successful because no gf
>>81926838
Pre-vocational but I'm probably gonna go into a trucel field like pathology

>>81926838
can you give a neet some money?

>>81926822 (OP)
How tf did you get past the interview? They seem to try really fucking hard to screen out cyborg types nowadays.

>>81926846
>Pre-vocational
Ah, a youngen. Pathology is based, I highly recommend it. The only career path left for me is going private with plastic surgery. My buddy from college did that so he could play with boobs. Funny guy.
>>81926864
No.

>>81926889
I'm not autistic I'm just ugly.
>>81926895
Damn you're a plastic surgeon? Honest to god impressive.

I'm a software engineer at a major tech company. Been on here since like 2010.

Each time I've changed jobs, I feel less able to fit in. I never feel qualified. Makes me anxious every 3-4 years. Never feel fulfilled. Never feel I understand everything.

Why is plastic surgery so impressive? You are mostly catering to rich peoples' vanity.

>>81927073
Very competitive and limited spaces. Difficult to get in without very good grades + published research + extracurriculars.

Get a jeet wife OP. Indians always want their daughter to marry a doctor.

>Anyone else pseudo-successful here
Yep, autist who works in technology and makes over six figures. Still isolated and have not a single soul who gives a shit about me.

>>81927593
>KHHV?
No, I'm a regular sexhaver I just do not like "modern" women as people
>Married?
I'm waiting to leave the West and become a Passport Bro before I do this. Just asking to be divorce raped otherwise

got a phd and work in academia, still a virgin

>>81926822 (OP)
depends on what pseudo successful means. my family knows me as the only one whos ever made it out of our hometown. the reality is that i ended up homeless after my dad kicked me out and i became nomadic for a while until i found a place that hired me. i dont have a good job or a glamorous amount of money though, i work like 12 hours per week and live on snack crackers and 99 cent macaroni or ramen. but still my extended family brag about how i made it to california on my own and live the dream (i live in the middle of the desert without a car but they assume everywhere is hollywood / LA.) admittedly i dont mind this lifestyle so much though, don't need a whole lot to live.

I wouldn't say I "have a good job", but it's decent. I work as an AI Specialist in a lower-middle-tier position and have some fame especially on the Internet. However, I'm a KHHV, have never been on a date or in a relationship, and I don't really have any friends, but I'm okay with all of this.

>>81926822 (OP)
Is it consider pseudo-successful if you have a good wife that's attractive but you are a full blown NEET?

bumping because i wanna see when op wakes up

>>81926822 (OP)
>I'm a doctor
What's stopping you from building up a nurse harem? There's a not very attractive guy I know who not only got a doctor gf but also cheated on her and knocked up a nurse.

>pseudo-successful
not even close
I'm more pseudo-intellectual
Im one of the smartest pseudo intellectuals alive thoughever, one of the smartest and one of the most well educated

I'm a nurse. 90% of nurses are female, but every one is fat, nonvirgin, or both. I've been scammed. I guess the money is OK since I do like five hours of work and the rest I can spend reading. But isn strange women are surprisingly hostile towards anyone who reads. They seem to think books are bad and therefore anyone who uses books are bad. I guess they are not aware but the nurses opinion of someone has a strong bearing on their continued employment. It's a revolving door here so I make sure the bad ones are sent their own way quickly I understand women are very stupid and 99% are illiterate, I don't hold this against them. But if they are aggressive towards people who can read, I will flat out make shit up or lie to get them fired.

But I'm autistic and have an average face so I guess I'm a "loser"

>>81926822 (OP)
you sound like me from the future op

>>81926822 (OP)
I make 60k as a tax auditor, but I live in Arkansas so that kind of money goes pretty far here. I would be making 80k as an insurance adjuster but I fucking hated my job because it felt exactly like office space; I worked more then 40 hours most weeks with a micromanaging dick of a boss who's only obsession was metrics and claim denials. Meanwhile I'm posting this at work right now, and two of my coworkers are playing chess because we've already gotten everything done yesterday and more work won't come in for at least a couple hours.

I've had sex but I've never dated before and I still haven't moved out at 26. I have two friends that I rarely talk to, and I don't know if that would be a wise thing because being under my parents roof keeps my alcoholism in check.
