>Why do you think a 3dpd hole would make you happy?
your cope is showing, anon
this guy is right. you know a woman will just leave a miserable sack of shit (as opportunity arises), right? r-right?
>how do I fix my life?
stop whining and work harder
on what? everything is shit and I can't fix it all at once.
school and your career should be your priority. gf will just hold you back. then once that's in order you move out. then you get the gf. then you dump her and live like a recluse after you realize women are a meme
this is true. Do not go for a girl until you are set. Then probably don't commit to a girl but if you are a cuck you likely can't help yourself just make sure you don't spend all your money on her. Or any money at all actually.
Do you work out?
So much of your neurochemistry is tied up with physical fitness it's insane. The best time to start is right now.
just pick one and do it. ideally the best risk:reward
I would put gf and moving out at the bottom, degree or better job at the top. if the degree won't help then just drop it, there is no honor in the academy
women are a net loss, every single time. They expect to have your full attention, time, effort, and money. Focus on bettering yourself first, b***hes will come naturally if you're not an autist. Get the degree which in turn will hopefully net you a better paying job. Save your money. Better paying job will let you eventually move out. Being an independent man with a well paying job in a relevant field with his own place, vehicle, etc makes you attractive to women.
Seriously, a guy with his finances in order and their home/car locked down puts you ahead of many others.

this. it's still not enough, though, because OP is in love with the idea of love, not in love with someone.
>because OP is in love with the idea of love, not in love with someone.
Wow anon hitting where it hurts.
>asking gpt3 bots how to fix your life
frick dude, is this what rock bottom is like?
do you still have the link for that thread about bots on IQfy? I remember seeing it but was sleepy so I don't chime in
Nice dude, I'm gonna hit 27 later this year and left my job 9 months ago. It was best decision of my life. Dev job is modern day slavery.
And what do you do now?
No reply hehe 😉
Run and Indie Dev studio. It's hard but it's not boring. Plus if I make it then I'll rich beyond belief, tons more than I'd make wageslaving even at gayman.
Really? What does your studio develop?
AI tools to digitally undress pics of people
Consumer Software. It's a one man shop right now. Am flirting with multiple ideas and thinking about ways of monetization.
Kek, don't impersonate me gaygit.
That's a tough one. Maybe I'm just not creative enough but I can't think of something that people would pay for and wouldn't take years or decades of man hours to develop.
Chilling. Have some stock money and crypto. Maybe will comeback as freelancer or go work as department head or some tech advocate but never as dev itself. But for now I don't see the point in this. I recommend to find some trad wife while being on long neet vacation, it's impossible to find a spouse while waging in this field
Work for God.
you fricking terry larpers are the bottom of the barrel when it comes to IQfy. just get your own fricking style bro, we all know you dont give a frick about god and are just trying to cover up your own degeneracy. i respect the trannies that lurk this board more than you homosexuals.
>t. triggered luciferian troony
finish college
this
Thanks, I will focus on this. Good thing is I'm almost done, bad thing is I have an exam left that I'm not allowed to fail another time.
I will quit my job and make 100% sure I pass, then get a better job after that, maybe with a few months off in between to recover my energy.
no, frick that
frick going to college for the sake of going to college, academic burnout is real and it will frick you up
>frick going to college for the sake of going to college
yeah, OP should stay a worthless nobody on the job market forever! Frick bettering yourself and striving for more!
I could wipe my ass with some of my clueless colleague's master degrees. Your degree means nothing if you're not competent and I would rather be on a team of self learned people.
correct and yet someone with a worthless degree will ALWAYS make more money out of the gate than someone who doesn't have one. Every single time. For someone without a degree, they have to pray their job actually recognizes their skills and pays accordingly which is quite often not the case. Where as a 4 year degree minimum basically demands a set price of starting pay and only goes up from there. I too believe degrees to be worthless pieces of paper for the vast majority of people, but they still open doors that would otherwise be closed to you.
t. Someone who graduated with honors in a technology bachelor's program and slept through 99% of it.
you stupid frick should have jumped jobs every single year. find another job and leave the current one as soon as someone else hires you. did you not ever read the job rant generals?
(also, wtf happened to those?)
I figured it would be pretty difficult without a degree so I didn't really bother to look.
no one cares about degrees. companies only care about getting the job done... or at least about the pretension of doing so. t. degree-less "ethical hacker"
get past the interviews and then stop giving a shit about anything. go read the archives for /jrg/, those generals were great.
also
>>no gf
it's not that good m8.
You are not supposed to work eight hours straight.
You are a professional, not an iphone assambler.
I can relate to this, feeling burned out by the tech industry at 23, and the only thing I can look forward to is another 50 years of wageslaving
By giving it to Jesus Christ.
Getting the degree should be your primary focus, domino effect will take care of the rest, one thing at a time.
Degree> good job> move out > gf

See a therapist, it might take you a minute to find a good one, if your a dude Id recommend a male therapist. Also see a psychiatrist, your appointments with them won't be long, basically there job to make sure they aren't turning you into a zombie/crackhead with meds. Undiagnosed/Untreated ADHD is super common, and at the very least it will help with your depression. Plus it's a reason to leave work early, and they can't fire you for it!
watch American Beauty.
Already have years ago. I'm not going to insult or blackmail my employer. I have no hard feelings (except for the shitty salary).
become self-employed. i did about 10 years ago and it was the best thing i ever did.
freelancing or running IQfy related tech business?
freelancing - i'm not a tech guy, i transcribe audio dictations for doctors.
buy a gun, put it in your mouth, profit
who gives a frick about degree, just find a better paying job, receive offer and quit current one
better yet, once you get a new job offer don't quit the current one and just keep slacking until you get fired, there are homies juggling multiple wfh jobs all the time
My team is really anal about daily standups and I can't really slack off because we have to deliver each sprint.
>who gives a frick about degree
Trying to cope without your degree I see
kys degree goy
degrees are free in my country, keep coping though
waste of time
okay peabrain
lol same here except i do manual labor with much worse conditions
im gonna get back to tech field and never do this dirty underdog job what i do now
>27
>graduated
>decent job

why even live?
OP you are literally me
my hope is to turn the pressure on me into pressure on them later when it turns out I'm the only one who knows how to maintain some stuff, so I can work less.
Kek, me too. This is me.

I don't know man, I'm gonna get into lifting, but I just don't want to talk to people anymore. Is this normal or am I fricked up? Not even girls. Whenever I need to call somewhere I put it off for as long as possible and sometimes ignore it, living like a hermit.
I know what you mean. I have a hard time connecting to people, too.
Maybe one day anon. Otherwise I'll just go on alone without anyone else. Tthe thing that scares me most is never finding a girl that I love and can spend my time with. Just want a wife asking me how my day was, some kids running around the house calling me dad and a place of my own. Like those old couples who turn 90 and are still together. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>apply for sound technician job at a big theater in town, figure can't hurt to see
>get called up in the interview for lack of experience, blag that i've been doing it for years, just only recently got back into it
>sound guy gives me a good reference
>get hired with a better salary and better hours
>quit old job that day and only had to work there another week as I had so many holiday days saved up
can be done anons, you don't have to code all day for nothing
Good for you anon.
>below average salary at small company
>constantly overworked because director wouldn't expand and manager didn't care
Anybody got any stories about matching work output to mediocre salary and what happened next?
Hhaha
At my old job where I used to spend evenings catching up, when starting a new project I worked calmly, only during my allotted hours, and got called up for a disciplinary for not working hard enough
As soon as you start working overtime unpaid, start looking for a new job. It's not worth it
u gotta be one of the pieces of shit who appears to work
''stays late'"
>As soon as you start working overtime unpaid, start looking for a new job. It's not worth it
What if I'm working late because I slack off during the day? Especially when I have to do a lot of research
that's not working overtime, that's just shifting your hours to suit your laziness
My brain still tries to advance my work bit by bit starting at 9am, so in the evening I didn't do a satisfactory amount of work but I'm still somewhat tired, and yet often I get the most valuable work done in the evening (conceptualize stuff which helps me the next day)
I'd justify it by saying that I simply do not have 8 hours of focus in me (let alone 8 consecutive hours) for tasks that aren't already clean cut just-do-it type things
>late twenties
you got plenty more life to live, that's good.
>below average salary
probably because you haven't finished your degree
>cant get enough sleep
what time do you go to bed? is this really a "i can't sleep issue" or is this a "i want to stay up until 3 am and cant handle the consequences" issue?
>living with parents
finish your degree and move out if you believe its that detrimental to your well being. i'm telling you now, you'll wish later you were still living with your parents. until you can figure stuff out, dealing with landlords and housing shit sucks. enjoy it while you can, just don't let it get it too out of hand (32+)
>no gf
do something new, something interesting. i know thats not easy, but if you have even a slight interest in something outside of IQfy and vidya i'd follow that. if its an outdoor hobby even better. also, put yourself out there anon. you cant find a gf if you're under 7 proxies at all times and have no social media presence
hope this helps. if i were you i'd seek
ice, there's some good people over there. godspeed anon
plus, youre a computer nerd, so you should be able to find work easy.
>be me in summer of 2020
>almost done with degree

>can't focus for more than an hour
>feel weak overall, feels like I'm going to faint after running 500m at moderate pace even though I used to run half marathons pretty easily
>stop working at dev job because can't focus
>fail exams because can't focus
>have to drop out because I have no proof that I was sick because doctors told me to frick off because covid
>on top of that my meth-head dad and his dumb friends won't leave me the frick alone
>decide to delete all social media and change phone number
>physical condition became better
>started taking boxing classes
>have read a ton of books on cs
>a few books on math
>coded a few things but nothing impressive
>have been a neet for about a year now, barely talked to anyone
Now I think I will finish my meme degree when school starts again after the summer. After that I will leave this gay country and dedicate the rest of my life to learning mathematics and martial arts, these two with coding have been the only reason I haven't killed myself honestly. I'm almost 27 by now so I probably won't go far in either of those but frick it that's what I feel like doing so that's what I'm gonna do.
Last two years have been strange to say the least.
>>no idea what I actually had since doctors just told me to stay the frick away because covid
Sorry to hear that, anon. That's fricking aweful.
This pandemic has really brought out the worst in people.
also been strange to me, but you got it though, anon, i'm sure you'll pull it through, wish you the best!
you are literally me, kinda spooky with all details and all.
>below average salary
>no degree
Hmmm, it's almost like the two are linked or something.
