How does this happen Sup Forums? How do we delude ourselves into thinking we are living the life just because others have less? Are we all retarded?

Stop watching Fight Club and get out of your own ass.

It's reality, not a dream.
And stop being so goddamn sore just cos you found out your neighbour also has a good life.

You want to be properly distressed, pick up any newspaper and shut your whining mouth.

it´s the exact opposite, user. There´s no fooling yourself. ther´s different perspectives, different people to compare yourself to, different ways of life. If you were making 25$ an hour, you would be comparing yourself to someone who makes more than that and doesn´t have a boss.
And maybe if you were filthy rich you would be comparing yourself to someone who isn´t miserable (i don´t think so, but it could happen).
Anyway, it´s always relative. I think it depends much of your upbringing and what you expect to achieve.
Maybe it´s a good thing. Maybe you had poor expectations for your life, and nowyou got too see much more around you - enough to realize you want to achieve more.

Why always more? Do you have to be the best?

OP I have this problem too. EX started career making 41/hr in engineering before she finished school. I'm here making 21/hr yet I scored higher on multiple exams. Can't stop being jelly. Need advice.

Hey fuck stick do you have enough to pay the bills? Ok your doing decent. What about money to toss into savings and have fun with everymonth? If not save what you can go back to school and try again.

I'm 18 and I make 13$ an hour but 20$ an hour on sundays

Poor expectations is an understatement. I grew up in section 8 on drugs and got locked up as a teen. I thought this was success, but knowing what people from a better upbringing already have achieved at my age.. turns out I'm actually a complete loser. This isn't success, this where other people fucking begin at 18

You're gonna live your life real sad if you keep comparing yourself to others. No one ever seems to have enough anymore. Take pride in what you've earned for yourself, nothing else is important.

If you really wanna be depressed, go read some salary threads of new CS grads. (Greentext related)

It's a good start. 18 here again and through a similar tough upbringing (also got locked up) I'm trying to make it better. While life is good right now you have to stay scheming brother. Never be satisfied with anything and fuck anyone who is because they will hold you back. Find schemes with possible pocket filling opportunities and try to get into those fields. And take any chance because if there is one thing I've learned it's that I can live with failure, but I can't live with what if

Um be an engineer and not just good at exams.

I'm a newbie truck driver at a starter company, work 11-16 hour days and made about 2500 last month. Got 4 days off for working 30 days in a row.

Your life sounds nice.

I make $30 an hour and I can barely afford to live where I live. Kek

good, then begin. at 24. It makes no difference. you are not 45 (which would make it possibly harder to study more and/or get a job or a promotion). But 20something is 20something.
I had friends who were aehad of me in life and friends whe were behind. I won´t lie to you... it really bothered me that some friends were making so much more money than me. I think it´s natural. But the thing is to keep moving forward. constant motion. things change. for better and for worse. And actually, some of the friends who were making more money than me became pretty great business contacts. Sonow you want more. that´s great. go get it. get all the help you can find.

Wtf? Do you just not know how money works? I live in the most expensive state in the country

Easier said than done.

bur everybody does it. or tries. what do you do?

See that? I really do feel like i live a happy life compared to the hours people have to work just to make more than i do. When i weigh out quality of life to money.. my life is the top. But from others it's not, what are they experiencing that I'm not now? I want to know why i should feel like I'm just worthless scum

i'm 31
i make six figures
i'm i kissless virgin with no friends and i hate my life
i'm actually a bit jealous of you op
there's much more to life than money

guy who did work for me works 90 hours a week at 35 years old and says his goal is to retire at 40.

I would not do that for all the money in the world. kill yourself and have no life

I wonder wtf he is going to do when he retires. He wont know what to do with himself after busting his ass his whole life.

life is what you make of it, who gives a fuck what others are doing

Well i run a stock account as of recently, i only have $500 in it right now so it's going slow but i AM trying. But i like hunting and fishing, getting drunk with all my boys on the weekends at my house, spending time with my girl, and a whole bunch of other stuff. These are the things that matter to me, but as i talk to more successful people I realize I'm fucking autistic for thinking this is ok

Oh man. That hit the feels hard. I'm sorry man, we got you

Jesus christ ok that's not a quality of life! He missed out on the greatest years of his life. I may be a fucking loser, but I wouldn't trade a single god damn memory for any money or job

...

Spend some of that dough at the strip club. You'll get happy.

Saved

what's so great about watching naked women who don't give a fuck about you?
i already do that when i watch porn

Strip clubs are pointless, plus most of the gfs I've had are hotter than those fat wrinkle bags. I'm never going back

Why, autistic? because you enjoy life and are not focused solely on earning money and your place on the social ladder?

That may be living to some, but seems like a wasted life to me.

25yo making £230 a day in banking... feels good man

Porn won't reach out and grab your cock through your pants. Porn doesn't smell amazing. Porn doesn't rub boobs in your face. There's really no substitute for the real thing, even if you're only observing. Most clubs have VIP section for lime 150 to 350 for half an hour you can touch the stripper. It's fun. Who cares if it's all a show? Some attention is better than no attention.

What does the ex do in engineering making 41/hr. Doesn't sound right with little experience.

Only a legitimate perv would be satisfied with touching a girl. I need to be inside a girl thats touching me. Fuck paying for nothing

Does it though?

A woman. Duh

Isn't what autistic people actually do? They play Minecraft until they are 40 and that's all they do with their life and are 100% happier than the rest of us?

Or for the same amount you could get an escort. Strippers are bottom feeding scum. To lazy to work a real job and to lazy to fuck

Some bitches will give you a handjob, blowjob, titfuck right there in the club. Or you get their number and fuck them at their house, your house, hotel, whatever.

The point I guess I'm trying to make is the kissless virgin who posted that he makes tons of dough has inequality in his life. Lots of money. Zero ass. So spend some of that excess money and get a little ass. At least try it and see. FFS, if I was 31 and a virgin, I'd probably off myself. 32 and fucked a couple dozen girls here. You're missing out on one of the best things in life.

I would also rather have an escort, but I'd also prefer to stay out of jail.

>Couple dozen
Either you're lying or you left out how many STDs you got. I banged 7 and already got herpes. Wish i never listened to the "hurdur i bunged 30 hoes"

I think he loves what he does but it is taking a toll on him because he is thinking about the retirement. Total fucking baller contractor who does what he says and gets shit done quickly and right.

He did work for a friend who owns a gym. Solid 9/10 fitness instructor who wanted to date him. He never had the time to go out with her.

I personally work 12 hour days and make around 100k but I enjoy what I do and I am my own boss. I drive a shitty 2006 ford ranger and spend most of my money on travel and life experiences rather than showing off to fuckers I dont know.

See fuckers in Land Rovers knowing they are paying more in a car payment than I am paying in a mortgage. fucking idiots

i've considered it many times over the years
i haven't because i think i'd probably feel worse about myself after the experience
plus if by some miracle i ever do get a gf, i'd have to explain about my first time with a stripper/hooker, or else lie about it

I paid money for six of those 24,and I'm not ashamed to say that. HPV counts as an STD, though a vast majority of people have it anyway.

People who are too busy to bone should just hop in the casket already. Do you live to work, or work to live? I don't understand the hyper-workers who put in 80 hour weeks when they're already better off than most folks. Just greed, I guess?

yea, I have to agree. Who gives a shit if you pay? You pay 100x more for a girlfriend than a hooker and dont deal with any shit. You fuck around long enough your gonna get an std.
everyone you fuck fucked someone who fucked someone and so on and so on

Nobody wants a virgin, they are useless.

Oh ok guess you're not lying haha. Yeah when i got herpes i found out most people have it and 7 partners is like 80% chance of getting it.
I always see people on 4chinz saying 20 bitches and no STDs so i always call em on it cuz that's shit info.
Yeah i heard HPV isn't bad, wanna trade?

I made $30 an hour at 22. Now I don't even know the hourly rate, it's salary, 6 figures with health, vacation, 401k and all that shit. It's nice. I don't have to work every day. Even when I "work" I'm a condescending ass to my co-workers. I'm in IT. Hate me all you want, idgaf.

You habe valid concerns. There is certainly an emptiness to paying outright for sexual attention. Organic sexual attention is definitely superior, but not as easily attainable.

It's easy to make up some story about your first time. Just take what actually happened and adjust the details slightly.

Disgusting, kys, today!

wagey wagerson in tha haus

cucklordmasterflex faggit

Total hotties on backpage will be like a girlfriend experience.
Just remember to google the phone number so you know they are for real and not piggies hiding.

probably a faggot with aids

How's your quality of living though? Friends? Girl? Drugs? House?
>shaved head girls don't count

No one cares what your counselor did with your flute at band camp. Nor that your uncle Bob really didn't have a pocket full of candy. Kys, faggit!

Only betas don't have STDs

So just come to terms with it, focus on family and friends, build a family with your girlfriend after you turn her into a wife, hell buy a double wide trailer to have two kids in, keep healthy and take care of your family.

Seven partners is the average for an American. HPV generally has no symptoms, and is harmless to dudes. Women can get ovarian cancer or some other shit from it. It's so damn common, and you can catch it even with a condom. I don't worry about it.

I usually use a rubber when fucking for the first time. Not always thpugh. All the bitches I fucked looked clean. I don't think I'd fuck them if I had any reservations about their disease status.

cus they ain't gettin laid

Very few friends, mostly old army buddies. I'm an ass in general, somehow they tolerate me. Drugs, nothing illegal. I take adderall 120mg a day + 40MG of prozac. I visit the occasional strip joint every now and then. I'm a regular to 2 chicks I found on CL.

Very good user

Average is 3 for men dude.
That's why you two have herpes and warts

IDK what fuckin books you reading. 3 partners? I am well over 9000

You went to the army and came out with a good job?! Good for you kid. Wish my buddies could say they same

We got the same life OP. Im cool though. I know I'm still young and can improve my life still. I have some goals and stuff you know?

You sound like a young me. Good for you, user. Just try not to burn out working in tech. I did it for 10 years and now I'm so jaded with it. Made lots of money, but lost some of my sanity along the way. Keep it up while you can.

This. People think their little bubbles are bad. Look around for bigger picture. We're so near the end (biblical, war, space rocks, alien, fucking whatever) it's not even funny anymore. Shit is happening at an immeasurable rate.

Haha, no way, man. Three is not the average for an American dude. Go look it up.

Go into IT. You dont need a degree or none of that shit. Most of the poeple I know just have a couple of certs, some have none. It's a field where you can tell right away if someone is full of shit or not.

Well you obviously got the one that does cause warts in men if you've been diagnosed. Yeah its not easy to spread if you check for visible signs. I've been banging this girl for 4 years and i still haven't given her herpes even with constant unprotected sex. If people just started fucking hecking themselves shit won't spread

40mg Prozac fist-bump. I've been thinking of cranking it up to 60 though. Anxiety is a motherfucker.

I may already be burning out. I hate everyone at work, with a passion.

Outside of Western culture the world is total shit.
Starving motherfuckers everywhere, war, poverty, disease, even working at McDonalds is better than 80% of the world.

Just looked it up, you're right but I don't think it applies to people who don't pay for sex

As a single 33 year old who has been MGTOW since 20 years old, I play video games with my friends online, I only make $60k a year but since its just me it goes far, I get to do what I want when I want and I own my house and I'm happy.

I am never getting involved in a relationship ever again, last time I had sex was in 2014, for now I'm doing fine with porn and videogames, fuck society.

I'll give you that, us folks who explicitly pay for sex are in a different camp than the normies. Still, we all pay for sex in some way. I'm not saying that to justify my paying for hookers. I give them $200 straight up. We fuck. Then we part ways. I don't have to invest hours texting and talking, spending money on dinner and entertainment for her. Upkeep on relationships is a recurring expense. I'm not saying it's not worth it. But yeah, everyone pays for their sex one way or another.

You could always have less, user

Do you work in a support role? That's what I mostly did. It was always a one-sided transaction. They nag you for shit, but you can't nag them back because they don't have a job that affects you at all. There's never an opportunity to repay you for your efforts.

Good for you on the whole MGTOW. You can still have a good relationship with a gal, just don't get sucked into the two biggest pitfalls: marriage and parenthood.

Some one makes more money, boo hoo, gat your shit together and stop whining for shit

why do you delude yourself into thinking you're living a shit live just because others have more? are you retarded?

There will always be people with more than you who deserve less. There will always be people who make less than you who deserve more. Try not to tie life value with your wage, though that's easier said than done. If you're doing better than your peers, you should take satisfaction in that.

Titty bump

Not sure if this makes you feel better, but to put your situation into perspective.....

I know guys well into their 30's who grew up in GOOD neighborhoods, with COLLEGE DEGREES who are living at home, single, and either make LESS than you or can't find a job AT ALL.

The bottom line is this: There will always be someone better than you, and there will always be someone worse. Focus on yourself and YOUR priorities. If you make $13/hr now... start looking to make $15/hr at a new job. Then 17, then 20, etc. Keep pursuing your own goals and happiness.

I'll tell you another secret too - money ain't everything. You need enough to live a comfortable life and that's it. For most people in america this falls around 75k a year. Don't take on irregular debt (meaning, consumer debt, credit card, etc.) and even a 35-40k job will feel pretty comfy. If you and your girl both eventually get into the 35-40k range with no irregular debt you'll live a pretty nice life.

damn.

damn.

fuckin white people plroblems

Ok fair enough

You are a fool OP.

You are but a man. A man who errs like a man should. A man who falters everyday. A man who is just like every man. Yet you find yourself fit to be a judge on life? What single idea gives you the reasoning to look at your life and pass judgement on it? Only something higher than man, such as a God, can do so. I don't believe in God or any gods therefore no one has the ability to pass judgement on my life, not even me. Let's say you're stubborn and insist on passing judgment upon yourself: how does comparing the quality of one's life to your own any good? No two people live the same life therefore how can you compare quality of life? Wealth =/= success. Success =/= happiness. You are a fool. Go study some Bertrand Russell. Go learn what the fuck happiness is to you. Learn some Cynicism philosophy and learn that desire is what holds you back. Open your fucking brain.

Could be worse, mate. Quit complaining. You're better off than most of the population of the world. Also you're kinda fucking stupid for thinking 13 an hour is a good job at 24, so it's sorta your own fault.

Wow thanks man. You know what? I like what i got. I'm not in prison and have the best friends and girl and nature based lifestyle i could ask for. Fuck these rich fags! They are probably all miserable in their own way

I forgot to mention I am a high functioning aspergic.

Relationships with women don't work for me because I can't read them or tolerate their shit, nor do women have patience for men that say what they are honestly thinking and believe.

>I was living happy and content
>but then I decided to shit on my happiness with my own thoughts
>halp

Stop being retarded?

Yeah, most probably won't tolerate that. There are some out there though. It's a numbers game. If you don't want to sink the time to play, I understand.

I got a girl cool with me acting like that. I don't take no shit niether. Theres girls out there for you

When I reached the stars I was aiming for I realized the cosmos beyond them.

That statement is the epitome of human desire. It will never be quenched so long as you live. You will desire evermore constantly and you will never reach and end to your hunger.
