I’m 18 and I genuinely can’t imagine myself as a 30 year old

Does it not scare the shit out of anyone else? I never want to lose my youth. I never want to leave this state. Youth is life, getting old just seems like death to me. Maybe it’s because youth is the only thing I have.

I would say 45 maybe. I get the feeling that things would start to sting and regrets would start eating at you at 25, but maybe it wouldn’t get too overwhelming until your 40s.

Literally can’t imagine being any other way. It must feel horrible to get permanently locked out of that so quickly. Once your old it’s done for you, no going back.

Genuinely been thinking about this lately, I am nineteen and the thought of leaving my twenties and entering my thirties, to be honest, instills a great sense of doom in me. I know many who say "haha bro i'm not living to 40 haha" . You know for a fact these people will genuinely cling to their lives as a fly clings to shit when they reach said age, but me? I don't know if I will truly live to see 35 even.

The ruthlessness of time is the greatest tragedy. No matter what happens to you or what you do, it never slows down, it waits for no one. No matter what setbacks you face, you will only get older than you are today, you are guaranteed to continue inching toward the grave. I think in my 30s I will genuinely miss all the stress I feel these days to become something. I just wish I could stop doing things I regret. I regret how I squandered my youth so far. I regret all the potential I wasted because of my horrible mindset. I regret that there comes a point in every man’s life where his regrets become irreconcilable, and he is left alone with them.

You’re gonna need to be a millionaire so at least be born into wealth

And then your hypergamous mentally ill wife will take your kids and leave you after a couple years and just milk you for money and call you a narcissist

I genuinely don’t see the birth rate in modern society picking back up again any time soon

Bronze age warriors really had it the best, they were born into homogeneous societies/tribes, they fought, killed, raped and plundered without a care in the world, had children young and then died in battle full of life and youthful vigor. They lived, we don't.

Although there was zero mercy, comfort, security, or predictability, I bet they somehow lived in less stress than we do. Truly amazing to think about that.

Yeah it doesn’t even make any sense, completely counter intuitive. I think we don’t understand what life is about at all. We just have a McDonald’s version now that deep down we know isn’t real, but our instincts have been hijacked to where we have no choice but to comply.

We won’t ever know how human life was supposed to be like in nature, the modern human is closer to a lab rat than to an ancient one:lul:.Eating processed shitty food that didn’t even exist 100 years ago makes us feel like shit, our blood is full of microplastics and we are stressed about pointless things like career:lul:

for me its just another expression of the fear of death. I can probably imagine myself in 10-20 years but no matter how life turns out Im still racing towards annihilation. Even if I did have a wife and kids it would eat away at me, I remember when I was a kid and understood death for the first time I broke down crying, and fundamentally nothing has changed except my ability to cope with that fact.

I started to feel this overwhelming dread ever since I turned 16. Because I know how behind I am on real experiences compared to other teens. Every birthday I become more aware of the life I’m not living. And I’m reminded of everything I could’ve done differently to feel something good about my life. I almost had a panic attack when I turned 18. Just going off mortality yeah 30 is nothing but according to the order of nature I feel the sense that 25 is the end of the golden days. Everyone around me does too, and that’s what counts at the end of the day anyways.

Why the fuck have so many other people commented on this. Fuck, I wanted to get here earlier so share my thoughts before anyone else.

The timepill is one of those things that our conscience is simply unable to avoid. I agree, it is difficult for me to imagine myself as a 30 year old, but what option do we as feeble mortals have other than to take everything one step at a time. Cliché perhaps but there doesn’t seem to be a better option.

It feels like an unanswerable question to me. Because whenever you ask old people about this, they just hand you the same cliches and platitudes you could imagine making up on your own. I feel like what they say is more to soothe themselves than to reveal anything new. To me the closest answer is to embrace suffering and hold a complete disregard for fear / inhibition. To say yes to everything, not a single thought of consequences. But it’s basically impossible with our level of consciousness and civilization.

To say yes to everything, I kinda mess with that. Yes it is an unanswerable question, as you put it. What do we humans know?? Jackshit.

It’s a fact everyone has to accept. Many refuse to, that’s why society in general is so looks-focused. Everyone’s so superficial.
 
I'm 34 and I don't feel bad, I feel better in my 30s than in my 20s.

I have a lot of pleasures in my life, I have niche hobbies.

I don't even give a shit about chad and women.

I moved on in life, when I was young like you I was totally mentally ill about looks in general,, I was giga blackpilled and insecure4

now at 34 I don't give a fuck, I'm post prime anyway, I focus on other things

I should say that I look extremely young , I look 20 facially
 
used to think like that my whole life I'm now 21 and don't feel any different than I did at 16. I'm just doing a bit better overall and understand things a bit more clearly
I'm only worried about how it will affect my looks but I'm looksmaxxing rn so hopefully I'll be in my prime at 22
