Oldercels I truly need some advice. Not the typical meme "just rope bro" advice but REAL advice explaining how to cope with this life of constant unfulfilled desires, disappointments, and despair. I understand that it never gets better and only worse(my life has proved that time and time again). I just need to know if there's anything I can do besides LDARing and working that will take the pain away at least a little bit. Anything that doesn't involve dealing with others who will only mog the shit out of me and remind me of my supposed "inferiority". My life is just the same shit over and over again. What the fuck was the point of being born only to endlessly lose in life and nothing but? All of this shit is such a cruel unfunny joke. I feel nothing but an empty void of negative emotions damn near 24/7 because of this. So how do you cope despite this shit? How the fuck do you do it?

I wish Was 22; or even 52 for that matter.
 
It's my natural survival instinct that keeps me from roping. That's it.

I a monkmaxing. Soon I will be monk lord
 
i dont live, i just exist
 
30 here, your worst days haven't come yet. If you didn't ascend of course
 
Fear of death was a big contributor to me not roping, I indulged in SO many copes from eating, to exercise,to anime to video games, to daydreaming, listening to music, drawing, modding video games, and of course fapping, lots and LOTS of fapping.

Since you're 22, the pain of loneliness and your sex drive will skyrocket and will continue until you reach your late 20's, around 27,28,29, basically and in your early 30's it begins to slow down, it has slown down ALOT for me, because your body pretty much readjusts itself into accepting your fate. Myself and many other oldcels have pretty much mellowed out, the rage,anger,high libidos, and depression are from users who're in their mid 20's and younger at least from what I've seen.
 
I drink a lot to forget how cripplingly depressing my life is. Try that maybe.

Ah yes my favorite and most common past time. Alchohol just makes me emotional(mainly angry) though.

I like watching the world burn, and I'm waiting for sexbots to come out.

Alcohol makes me angry only when i'm around people, but if i'm by myself it makes kind of happy. It makes the time pass quicker as well.
 
There isn't any useful advice that will help you cope better than now , Remember everything will only get worse. I'm 4 years younger and idk if i'm gonna be able to make it to 22

For me even when alone it brings out all of the repressed negative emotions and memories.

I appreciate you bro. I'm rooting for all of you youngercels to ascend before my age but of course I already know it won't happen for most.

The biggest thing is to accept your fate.

It is what it is.

Like rain. Or winter. It just is.

All the tantrums in the world will not change anything. So you accept it and move on to the next shitty and horrible thing.

Concentrate on things that you can actually effect. Plan for your future. It will arrive sooner than you expect.

Read (or listen to as an audiobook) the 48 laws of power to learn how to deal with people. I wish i read it in high school!

It is what it is.

You have a point. I can admit that is the most "mature" way of dealing with this. I'm just naturally a vengeful person who always wishes for there to be a solution to everything unfortunately.

I'm 27. Despite struggling with it myself, and while this may sound like dumb bluepilled advice, happiness, IS a state of mind. As you grow older, sex and love, and acceptance becomes less important because less hormones/testosterone fucks with your emotions.

I suggest you read 'The art of not giving a fuck', while i knew alot of things there already, I still learned a couple fundamental things like that the human mind will create problems if you have none and happiness comes from actively working on your problems, not having them already completed. For example: Second and third world countries are way more focused on making money to survive, while first world countries are way more obsessed about looks, social life, sex etc, because we already take food for granted.


Personally, I find comfort in that all will die eventually, in death, all will be equal. No need to rope myself, life slowly kills us all. Besides, I want to see what technology the world can come up with in 50+ years. Memento mori.
 
I’m 22 as well but I’ll probably never rope because I’m afraid of dying.
 
oldcel here

Im going out and enjoying life. Im going to live sports, concerts etc by myself. Im too ugly and socially awkward for people to date me or be my friend, so this is the only choice I had. I really wish I had a GF to do these things with, but some nice things arent for everyone.
 
You become more numb each year and care less
 
its going to be a life of hell if you arent attractive or high iq to get rich.
 
I appreciate you bro. I'm rooting for all of you youngercels to ascend before my age but of course I already know it won't happen for most.
Thanks man. Wish you good luck
 
OP the point of life is to watch at least 1000 anime series, get to it.
 
It's amazing how fast 20-28 goes by. My whole twenties went by like nothing and I don't have much to show for it. I felt like I was trying to improve myself most of that time but nothing I did brought me over the threshold to where I could attract a 5+ woman.

OP, are you in or did you go to university?
I'm starting to think my only cope will be to use my high IQ to program/implement complex algorithms and make decent money off of that. CRUD apps and a lot of front-end stuff is for lower IQ devs. I'd rather my mind works harder than my hands, due to my RSI (I got it at 27, jfl at having an old persons disease). I'm trying to move into more advanced work slowly.

With my money I could just take it easy, have a decent car, nice small apartment or home.
 
I am approaching mid 20s. Waiting for death already.
 
I don't know. I just live with pain and my survival instinct prevents me from roping.

I write and work on tabletop game to feel the purpose.

Sometimes I go to pub quizes to delude myself into thinking that I have fun time with normies.

About 7 years ago or so I started to watch cartoons to fight depression. Can give some recommendations.
 
Just find something you like or at least passes the time. If you really think about it everything is pointless to a degree. Pretty weird once you start to really ponder.

and 30's seem to go by even faster im almost 36. and get rich if you can
 
I'm almost 30 and I wish I had some words of hope for you but I don't. Things will only get worse for you. Eventually, you are gonna find some bad copes like drugs or alcohol and one day you're gonna spend the night drunk trying to forget your life. That's what happens to me. What happens next I don't know, I'm still on the alcoholic phase.
 
Actually contrary to others here, id say things do get better when you hit 30. You stop caring and become numb emotionally.

Yeah things have only gotten worse and more difficult. Women have gotten so much more picky since I was 20-23
The worst part about getting old is that you feel like you lost your shot. You can't go back and get a redo. You had your one life and now it's game over, romantically speaking. Of all of the pleasant hypotheticals none came to fruition.

But youd stop caring as much as you did in your twenties.
hmm almost 6 years in cant say that at all. lucky you

How come? I cant be the only one here. Acceptance sets in when you hit your thirties. You no longer strive for external validation as you do in your teens and twenties. And if you earn decent money, you can pursue honorable copes.

Nah, I still care as much.

Actually, I was less frustrated when I was younger because I thought I had a few years left and things would get better.
 
I wish I had good advice to give. I've made it to 41, but I think I was just lucky.

Money is key. With it you can escortmaxx and NEETmax. It is crucial that you save enough money to be able to withdrew from this society of sex-havers. Otherwise the constant mog and Sisyphean life will slowly crush your will to live.
 
As you grow older, sex and love, and acceptance becomes less important because less hormones/testosterone fucks with your emotions.

I don't want to lose my ability to feel. It's literally my biggest cope and pride.
These has scared me far more than you can imagine.
I don't want my life to be a blank existance.
 
My first suicide ideations were around 8 or so. I've known it's over but some delusions are fun and promising since I'm a gullible sap
 
life is shit tbh. better to cope through Islam, survival/prepper shit, and hating foids. works for me :feelsokman:

You're not alone, I just indulge in copes to keep me sane, fapping helps SO MUCH as well. Sadly there are still some people our age and older that are still in the same sense of mind in their teens and 20's. I feel sorry for them, aging without intimacy should tell your body, you'll never experience anything romantic or sexual so it should readjust accordingly especially since your T levels drop year after year. So I honestly don't know what to tell those people.

My T levels are still high @ 32 but i cope with escorts and porn. I agree with what you said, it seems like my brain has adapted to the lack of intimacy with a foid and hence somehow made me numb to the feeling of being left out.

It could also be a mechanism to ensure my survival since my brain prolly realized that making me emotional would prolly lead to me roping.
 
go to the Emergency Room bro

but in all seriousness, just moneymax. thats honestly the best cope probably
 
i am 29 soon. i do not do anything. i just wait till something big happens that change our societies 4 ever

JFL I'm already on the alcoholic phase.
 
You have to cope. Cope so hard you almost get mad from doing it. It's the only way.

It only gets worse. Imagine being close to 40 and you still can't get gf. Best cope for you now is that you are still young and if you figured all the shit now means you aren't dumb. I chose to moneymaxx to give me some options. We live in a dystopian era with really bad options when it comes to foids but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy everything else.
 
The most powerful cope is seeing normies in their thirties getting complete reckted by life and most foids from your era, even some hot ones, turning into landwhales and becoming single moms, losing a lot of their edge.

Time will equalize things just a little, normies began to suffer a lot in theirs 30s and they are always talking about when they were younger how things were so much better when they thought they could take the whole world, and that can be lifefuel.
