So, this is my situation. Would like some pointers on moving forward.

If your parents die you would be pretty screwed right? How old are you

Guess what i'm trying to say is... do I belong here or is the blackpill more my type?

MGTOW isn't the last hub of wastrel losers.

And I'm not implying you are one by that. What I'm saying, MGTOW isn't where people go to die. It's not a hill to climb then shotgun a shotgun instead of a beer.

It's not a place for depressed people or directionless people as a "last gasp" measure.

It's a place for men that just don't want to get married or cohabitate or find that much value in relationships with women, that's all.

Now don't let that drive you away, I mean, I get paid for every sucker I bring into the subreddit, but if that's not really your driving motivation, are you perhaps depressed? Have no direction? Don't care?

And if so, why is that "bad"? Are you under the belief you have to be doing something?

Here's the deal. You were created. You get to romp around, feel the sun on your face, listen to a bird chirp, interact with other life forms if you want, and one day you'll rot in the ground, or go up in a crematorium's chimney, or be turned in Soylent Green. And it'll be over. Ashes to ashes and such.

I mean, what you make of that is your business. Me? I just have fun. The worst thing you can do is take life seriously.

What DO you like? What what is of interest to you besides say, tv and videogames?

Kid you sound like a crab in a barrel. You can’t climb out and you don’t want to stay in. First things first. Never had a job, never had a girlfriend, don’t know what you want to do in life and you don’t like the feeling of doing shit for other people. Guess what? Every single one of us has been there at some point and it sucks. But that IS life.

At any given point in your life you will be owing someone something all the time. That’s a fact. Whether it’s rent, taxes, student loans, etc. you’ve got to make some kind of goal whether it big or small, short term or long term.

Whatever you end up doing in life, eventually through the years, little by little, you get smarter, you start to own things and at least some things in this world starts to make sense.

If Someone asked me 25 years ago where I’d be, it definitely wouldn’t be what I’m doing now. And I never regret it. I ended up forging my own life talents I never knew I had if I had never made the sacrifice in life to go ahead and do it I’d be living in a van down by the river.

In short, I have no direct answer for you because it seems you’re so unsure of yourself. Are you interested in college, trade skills? Do you have any personal skills that you can improve upon?

But be careful if the choices you make as I’ve seen females become incredibly toxic, manipulative, greedy and self centered over the years and they’ll drag your ass right down with them.

you need a degree or an apprenticeship. If you can get an apprenticeship first then save money for a degree (in Europe college is pretty cheap so maybe come here), then climb the career latter. Also check out the book "Feeling Good" by David Burns since you sound like you have a mild case of depression

This is going to sound kind of harsh, but at age 24 you should be a man and be able to take this. Hopefully you will see that I am trying to help you.

If you are 24 and have never had a job, that's a problem. That should be your singular focus right now. Do you really expect your parents to pay your bills for the rest of your life? At this point, it's not about finding what interests you. It's about being a man, taking responsibility for yourself, and making a living. Get a job. It doesn't matter if you enjoy it or not.

Guess what? Work is work, and it's not supposed to be fun, entertaining, or even enjoyable. The satisfaction comes from being respected by others and earning respect for yourself in your ability to provide and take care of yourself.

If you were raised by my parents, they would have kicked you out of the nest at age 18 and forced you to get a job because they would have flat out stopped paying your bills.

I don't have motivations beyond wanting money yet even that isn't enough to force me to do something about it.

There is no motivation like the realization that you will literally starve to death if you don't get up and do something.

Martial arts, very different people from gymbros.

Find an enoyable hobby you can make money with. I write and stream vidya for example.

HiredMind · 2018-01-29T19:44:23+00:00

Do it for yourself. For your own self-esteem. If you set goals and accomplish them, you'll feel better about yourself. Start out small, and build on that.

I hated the gym too. But you don't need a gym to exercise. Keep trying different activities until you find the one you like. For me it was road biking (I like the near-silent precision of slicing through the air, and it gives me time to think), but for you it will be different. Maybe your thing will be soccer or kayaking or something.

Just my subjective opinion: You're missing a philosophy, a foundation. The Bible or church is a great way to jog your indecisive routine. If that's not for you, I recommend Stefan Molyneux on YouTube, as well as Jordan Petersen. You're relying on conditions around you to lend you purpose, but nobody wins that game. And don't worry about plans, take the plans and file them in the trash. Once you have your core faith, your awakening, and a set of ethics, life will plan around you. You gotta find that drive, stop looking to authority figures and become your own master.

What have you done or accomplished that you are proud of?

MrBallsackEyes · 2018-01-30T00:11:48+00:00

Are you autistic?

Title	So, this is my situation. Would like some pointers on moving forward.
