I don't think LTR's are garbage. I've always wanted to get married.

Honestly I never expected to feel like this...I've never felt this depressed and sad before.
Time to decide that if what you want is actually what you wanted. Life has a way of throwing us curveballs. If she is what you want and you can make it work, dont quit. If its just too much of an adjustment and you arent "all in" to stay then you did the right thing.

That's just it. I felt I wasn't "All in". I'm just going to really miss hanging out and texting her...I've been doing it for 2.5 years. Gunna be hard to adjust. I keep looking at my phone, just killing me. I broke up with her on Friday. I just hope I can find a new normal in my life soon. I don't know how im gunna be able to work tomorrow, let alone lift.

You'll make it bro. I takes a man to admit he's not all in, and walk away clean. That's respectful to her and it will come back to you. Stay safe.

This is not directed at OP. Just something that I'm reminded of when i saw a poster say you're too old to be misc'ing.

The most depressing thing in life is meeting people that are middle aged that believe they are too old to experience adventure, new things, or live youthfully. Nothing irks me more than hearing middle aged people say, "I'm too old for that." It's usually the same people that in their 20's and 30's that switched out "old" for some other excuse. Worse, they generally talk about all the things theywishthey could of done.

Wish in one hand and sht in the other. See which one fills up quicker.

Don't prance around. Take action. Ride the momentum.

My advice to the young pups reading this thread. Don't EVER give up on your dreams. And surround yourself by people who likewise are unwilling to give up theirs. Stay away from those that don't fit this creed and you will be much happier and accomplish much more.

Here are the real facts of life:

You will always have adversity whether weight, body type, height, skin color, cultural differfences, etc. And you will make mistakes.

Do not let those perceived drawbacks define you. Only you can decide if your height, weight, skin color, culture, will define you. If you sit down in the mud puddle and pout, you will have two things: muddy clothes and wet clothes.

Dont let the things that have happened define you. I don't care who told you were you a victim, or inadequate, or untalented, or stupid or fat or a wuss, or anything else. Get up, shake it off and push ahead. No one has had an easy ride. And if they have, they are going to hit a wall someday from not learning what they needed to learn to handle it.

How are you even that sure? Around me I know couple of 50+ people with messed up lives (3-4 children from many different women, or no children at all, never married etc.). I personally had a oneitis too like 5 years ago and broke my heart when she said no but I dont really care about her anymore. And I dont feel like I'll ever meet 'the one' , since for me it is a childish term. I just want to travel and experience the world until a point where I'd like to settle with a nonboring woman with above average looks.

Then thats what works for you and no one should say different. However, many people are looking for LTR but believe it no longer exists.

It does, but its is not easy to find nor maintain.

When you were younger did you feel like you were missing out if you didn't go out every weekend?

It's Friday. A lot of my friends are staying in with GFs, some are working, some do not want to go out, etc. I feel lame for not going out on a Friday, i.e. get drunk.

I know there is nothing wrong with staying in, but it feels "loserish" to do so. The irony when we go out sometimes is the letdown of getting yucky.

Old man wisdom please.
Union Strong. Workers are stronger together.
The GOP is a criminal organization who despises the middle class and working poor. Name one policy they have pushed for that increased worker pay, union strength, or worker influence in a corporation.

Yeah thats the prob- when I was younger it seemed like that. But once I got figured out what was important, it didnt matter. I'm just trying to tell brahs "don't take too long to figure that out, give yourself a leg up."

man i cant wait til 100 year old u will drop wisdom on 50 year old u

EDIT: srs question to OP. If my passion is making music, like 100% music, so much that I have dropped out of school for now (I am also fortunate enough to be extremely financially stable due to my lifestyle and decisions I have made.), and I feel like I will regret it and be depressed doing anything else. Would you feel it is in my right interest to make music? I am 22 now, and am willing to do this til I am 35 before I quit(edit: scratch that, I wouldn't quit). It is the one thing that keeps me from falling into severe depression. Thanks, and great thread.

If your passion is making music, make it. Do whatever you have to (legaly and morally) to move that forward creatively and financially. Be voracious about it, let no one or thing stand in the way. And start now.

This post is being bookmarked, love your posts all-around mate. Do you have any single (one you find most important) tip towards overcoming social anxiety? Is there shame in having social anxiety still at 22?

Thanks again.

Also I would say- Ignore detractors, while at the same time have 2 or 3 people that you trust that could speak into your life and help you file off rough edges.

Good post, gjdm Deenur. Have read throughout the thread over the past few years. I'm only 21 and I want to disagree with some posts, but you're 53, you've actually experienced life and what not
