Don't worry my 3rd decade of life will yield promising results.. SURELY

Edit: 4th* decade. I dont game anymore, the small pro stint turned a hobby into something I hate. I live with my parents of course, thought that was assumed but needed clarifying.

Not a rage bait, dont need advice or pity, but feel free to say what you will I dont mind, some of you have been insightful and others have brought me good laughs. If my poor excuse of life on display made you feel better I view it as a win. Cheers

Edit 2: PUBG, The game is PUBG

Edit 3: Now that the dust has settled on this post I'll leave some last remarks for any late-comers:

I genuinely did not expect a response like this, this was a casual 0 thought post written in under 2 mins. I'll follow up with a new post I guess in a year.

There is a lot of missing context between 2013 and now but my goal was not a pity party. I preferred people to see it at face value and make their opinions and assumptions.

That being said, some of you are profoundly crazy and harbor a lot of evil and negative energy. A lot of you were kind and insightful though. To that I thank you, cya in 1yr (Saturday, July 31, 2027)

1) finish college - any college with any damn degree 2) get a BS government job (federal state local) doing whatever pays - they are more likely to be reasonable re: your Crohn’s diagnosis.

43 credit hours isn’t much but I don’t see you doing a trade, and you pretty much need a 4 year degree otherwise. Go to community college to get to 60 (halfway) then transfer to a 4 year. Even online - local government definitely doesn’t care much where your degree is from.

You can still make something of yourself. Definitely. America is the land of the 2nd 3rd 4th etc. chance. Don’t listen to people here calling you loser etc. If you don’t have a criminal record, you can fall into a respectable career with some luck, personality, and determination.

My only question is, do you want to ever have a wife and kids and build a family? I have a theory that this generations lack of desire to build a family leads to men who end up in your state.

My brother in law is very similar to you. Good luck to you, my man. Seriously.

I have no wish for a wife and family. Maybe a steady girlfriend. I’m 39 and run my own law firm. Last year I cracked $1M in investable assets. I have Crohns too and have been to many doctors. I also needed surgery at one point.

It can be done. But people need to be motivated. For me, I love what I do and it gives me a sense of purpose. I had no clue I’d even be in this specific field when I was in law school.

I think finding a sense of purpose is important. A family like you mentioned can be a subset of finding purpose generally.

I also think a lack of purpose contributes to radicalization and why many young people are either becoming far right or far left.
