I expect I’ll die young because too much sustained cortisol from intense stress over time will literally kill you. I shit you not, I have tons of grey hair now in my 30s and I had grey hair already in my late 20s. I also starting going bald in my early 20s so a real disaster combo lol.
I work all the time and I find the job very stressful. I worry about money and my future everyday and I’m estranged from my family.
They say stress and loneliness are bad for one’s health so I doubt ill be living to 99 like Charlie Munger.
I’m not really sure what I’m doing here — as in, in life. I work hard (by necessity), I’ve done my best, I’ve really tried. Same as anyone, probably moreso than a lot of people. But things just never panned out. I never landed a reasonably good job that didn’t make me want to blow my head off. I have no hope I’ll ever be married or have my own family (even if I could our laws are fucked so badly that if your wife leaves you may as well blow your head off you’ll be divorce raped so hard), I have no hope of ever affording a home or even retiring someday. The only “sex” I can get is with whores (illegal here and I won’t take the STD risk, also expensive and I’m not even sure it’s worth it when they’re just doing it for money and don’t actually have any feeling for you) and the ole hand.
I mean, seriously, what am I doing? Why was I born to begin with if this is what life is about? All I do is work, fail in any attempts to socialize, and cope with games/alcohol/escapism. And the coping just doesn’t work. Hasn’t for years. It’s an awful existence and I seriously think stress is ruining my health. I’ve had a cough for months that won’t go away. I really miss cigarettes, but I’m trying to quit.
This is the fate of an ever growing cohort of disenfranchised young men. We are lonely rejects who did what we were told every step of the way and received nothing in return for our efforts. Meanwhile women leapfrog us at every turn because the system now supports them at our expense. Things didn’t used to be like this. My only hope is that I’m ahead of the curve where once enough young men feel this pain the potential for some change will come about. But will that actually happen? In my lifetime? I rather doubt it I’m tired bros
