why keep trying - /adv/

Anonymous10/24/26, 23:17No.35032010Why keep trying?

Genuinely might end it soon. I'm turning 20 soon, i can't get a fucking job (look up Finland unemployment stats) after 1.5 years of trying, that's a 1.5 year gap in my CV of sitting on my ass after graduation. I have no skills, practically no experience, useless IT-degree, i'm socially awkward and don't have any friends, never been in a relationship, i live in my parents house still. I feel so useless and embarrassed to be where i am, 10 year old me would be too if he saw where i'd be in a decade. Anyone have any employment tips or tricks or loopholes or literally fucking anything for europe or is it time to just actually end my shit

Why die? It might get better so you might as well stay alive and see

You're Finnish, all of you are socially awkward, alcoholic and don't have friends. Gaps in CV can be easily explained by working on a personal project/getting some sort of bullshit training or soft skills. You're about to turn 20, just calm the fuck down you're barely an adult, not even an adult really. You can throw the misconception that everyone has their shit figured out and they're skilled, nobody has anything figured out, everyone is pretending and faking everything. The moment you get any desk job you'll feel like you have no idea what you're doing, then after 3 months you'll realize nobody else does. Why would you want to end your shit when you are in the most normal, average western life circumstances possible? If you're this stressed about not working, go put the fries in the bag at McDonald's but let me guess, that job is beneath you, isn't it?

What if you end it and they make you come back? Lol

Your life’s gonna end when it’s supposed to bro. You don’t have to worry about that. You know how many times I’ve overdosed off drugs? There’s no possible, logical way I should still be standing, alive walking around perfectly healthy the way I am after everything I been thru. I’ve died like 15 times. You’re here for a reason. When you’re not supposed to be here anymore, you won’t be.

Life will end no matter what so don't try and speedrun it. You're 20 years behind that anyways. 10 year old you would want you to have fun and play a lot of games desu.

in a few years none of us will have jobs anyway. May as well stick around for the ride and see what happens

I’m in a similar situation. I’m turning 20 in a few months and my life is going absolutely nowhere because I know too much about how this prison planet works to care about any of it. I live with my parents and I’m technically enrolled in a junior college but I do the fucking bare minimum just so they don’t give me shit. I have like 1500 US dollars saved up and I plan on spending 2/3 of that on lottery tickets. >inb4 people call me a retard who doesn’t understand the statistics I know damn well what the probability is. The chances of us being here right now is so unbelievably fucking small that it makes winning the lottery look as probable as you breathing. This world already teeters on supernatural so maybe I can manifest some of these funny money zogbucks everyone is wasting their lives chasing. I buy one $2 ticket per drawing, 3 drawings per week, so I have like 3 straight years of lottery tickets before I run out of money. I plan on shooting myself in the head if I don’t win. I genuinely just don’t care about any of this. Agenda 2030 and the techno-fascist AI dystopia will be finalized around the time I run out of money so if I lose, good riddance. My life consists of sleeping 10 hours every day, going to school for 2 hours, meditating, exercising, and going on 4chan/reddit anonymously. I have no friends and no social media. I’m a ghost. If I win the lottery, I’m giving my parents 10 million, my brother 5 million, and then I’m gonna fuck off to Alaska and build my decked out apocalypse shelter.

Do volunteer work. Along with giving you a reason to get up in the morning, it will fill your CV and maybe even give you contacts for a job.

Anon, 19-20 is way too fucking young to give up. You know there's neets in their 30's right? At least make it to 25

Try supermarkets, janitor jobs, helping autistic kids, dog/cat sitter only babysit the midg-small animals. Babysit seniors, be a companion to lonely people as a job. Don't give up Finland anon.

Hey anon, I'm 26. Here's my advice.This is not about me, I just want you to know I'm not just spewing nonsense at you :I went through hell in my own life from 16 to 23. Got homeless at 19, started using drugs at 16. Almost died a few times. I really though I'd end up dead in a canal somewhere.Now I'm getting better by the day. I stopped using all addictive substances, even tobacco, coffee, alcohol and sugar. I started studying music and got into a very famous local marching band in my city. Had highest grade amongst all students two years in a row, been promoted band leader of our junior marching band, won three champion titles in a year, went to the worlds championships etc... Even my shrink said "I don't know how you did all this so quickly after all you went through because I've never seen anything like it".At first I though I was special or something. But not at all. I've just been forced by hardship to integrate some pretty core human concepts very early on.Here's what I've learned :Ruminating is addictive. Creating doom scenarios in your head kicks off dopamine levels. This is why news outlets make so much clams. Don't think about what you can't control for too long. Thoughs are just random noise and WE choose what is worth paying attention to. Any though that doesn't reach a conclusion in less than 5mn is trash.Go oustide, see other people, exercise, be careful about what you eat, play hard video games, read, pick hobbies until something sticks, stay off drugs and other addictive substances, BE NICE TO YOURSELF. If you feel stuck, do something. Don't ruminate about it.Learning to be a functional human is hard and takes time. Stop beating yourself over it. Idek you but you probably deserve better than constant mind hell prison.Would you tell a freind to kill themselves if their situation seems bleak ? No. Well stop doing that to yourself dude.Being depressed is okay. But when you start thinking about dying, it's time to move on.

Bro you're 20. You basically died to the Tree Sentinel in Elden Ring and think it's all over.

Anon10/25/26, 15:47No.35033919

blow it smooth off

Anon10/25/26, 17:47No.35034109

20 years old is nothing. Why not stud somehing in the meanwhile even if it's for some shitty ass trade or get a forklift license or something?

Anon10/25/26, 21:48No.35034646

Your early 20s are when basically anything is possible. It might seem frightening because you don't know what might come but this is really when you should be finding what you love and really pursuing it with all your heart.

mate youre meant to be unemployed at 20 wtf. Most people your age are studying. Ok sure, youre not. So fucking what? You're the right age to be unemployed. Stop fucking crying like a little bitch over something you've not even given yourself the opportunity to do yet.

Being a pedo at 20 is wild OP

I was gonna kill myself when I was 17. January 15th 2008 I think was the year. Was gonna go drown myself in the river by jumping in with a couple of backpacks full of bricks master locked to me. Anyways it was maybe a week or two away, I was starting to feel pretty great about it, and then a friend told me about people who still hitch hike around and I thought that sounded neat and decided I might as well try it before offing myself. Ended up homeless, no money but hitch hiked around for a few years and hoping farms for work. Learned a bunch, ran into a ton of different really cool opportunities.Might be time to throw a hail Mary and just go do something stupid. If your for real about it yer dealing 100% chance of death anyways so why not ride that 100% and see if you can get anything out of it.These days I still struggle and life is pretty awful but I ain't dead yet so that's something.
