I wasted my 20s.  

The main reason i'm feeling lost is because other grownups suddenly just stopped ordering me around, and to think that i actually wanted this to happen when i was a teen but now that i'm being held responsible for my own life i feel like such a useless person who can't even figure out how to handle his own self

@@youneskasdi That is why you cultivate discipline, which will take work. I'm only figuring that out, really, at age 29. Started occurring to me maybe two years ago. Being an adult (that others would respect) means that you need to learn how to crack the whip on yourself. That is being an adult and that is being disciplined. Do difficult things because you know they will make you better. Children are incapable of this. But this is ideally, what makes adults different.

@@ams914 Great advice!

the problem is you morons are spoon fed your entire life and never listened to yourself or cultivated an understanding of yourself.so now you are completely empty and shallow. That has fucking nothing to do with discipline or the structure you were born into.. more structure does not lead to understanding of ones self.. its just more insanity and polarized thinking.

It takes a while to realize that you are a grownup. That's why you still have people out here clubbing at 65.

Seriously though: Is that what that decade is called? I thought it would be called your "teens", but that doesn't include ages 10-12. Does anyone know?

All those lego houses buildt in vain

🥰

I just turned 30 this year, and I am finally starting to think about my future. Thank you for this advice, because it's something I need to keep telling myself to keep motivated.

im turning 20 this year

I am 32 years old and about to turn 33 I wasted... Absolutely WASTED every single day of my 20's. I'll never get it back. Until right this second I've never talked about it with anyone because I've felt so ashamed of myself and my life. I genuinely hated myself.. For about 8 straight years. Not just because I'm boring, it was "oh if I don't wake up tomorrow the world will be all the better for it." I didn't care if I lived or died because for almost 10 years I did nothing with myself because I lost everyone I thought was a friend and my Ex had cheated on me and was just going on dumb tinder dates that were meaningless until I stopped even going out because why even? After high school my friends either moved away or moved on and I stayed in place. My 20's... That whole decade where you hear people having the best times of their lives was so excruciating for me and to make it worse I had no one to talk to. I didn't tell my parents about my depression or suicide attempt because I couldn't take them thinking they did something wrong to produce a worthless son who tried to kill himself and even failed at that twice. THINGS CHANGED though. I know its going to sound cringe but it's what happened. My life got better when my dog came into my life. I never had a dog take to me like Ty did(My dog's name is Ty short for Tyrion) He has shown me so much love so unconditionally and I have experienced so much joy just because he is so attached to me. Why he became attached to me? We don't know but we are inseparable, He is a medium big dog which means he needs walks which means I had to get out of the house, which meant I probably had to interact with other humans... And I did.... And within a year our development or part of the town we live in... They all know me and they know Ty and I'm not alone. I found a part of myself I assumed was dead and I'm alive because of my dog. My relationship with my parents is the best it's ever been, people actual care about me... Our neighbors know me and even give me Christmas gifts it's insane. I thought I was too far gone, I had wasted too much of my life, I had done nothing with myself and while I'll never have my 20's back I always have right now, I will always have knowing that unconditional love is real and even though eventually Ty will pass on he will always be the reason I learned to love not just myself but love life. I've skipped a lot but this is too long as it it. I just want people to know that it is NEVER too late to change your life or find a reason to love yourself. Will it take time? Fuck yes. Will it be easy? No, but you will slowly find reasons you might have not known were there to love yourself to stick around. The world has some beautiful stories, you are one of them... I hope to hear yours. If anyone reading this wants to vent, or talk or tell me their story I'll always be here to listen feel fress to contact me. Thank you for your post and allowing me to tell my story and giving me hope for the future. It means more than you may ever know.

@@nervrenders I had a whole paragraph written down about my life and the things I regret, but it was all randomly deleted so I'll try writing it again: Reading your story made me cry; it's very inspiring, and I'm glad you're in a better position now. In my case, I spent most of my teenage years being a burden and doing nothing but playing games, I only became an excellent student on my last two years of highschool but for all the wrong reasons (seeking validation from people and expecting them to praise me), I didn't go into college right away cause I graduated in 2020 and COVID didn't allow me to study in US like I wanted to, spent every single fucking day after graduation just playing online games instead of studying, I don't even know how to fucking drive, the online friends who helped me get through depression and helped me accept myself as who I am turned on me and made up false accusations, spent half of 2021 doing nothing and the other half trying to do something but just failing to commit, trying to change in 2022 but it's the same fucking thing again. I'm turning 20 this march 2nd and I don't know what the fuck I'm supposed to do with my life. I'm afraid the years will pass and I'll be as useless as ever. I'm afraid I'll end up like my brother who, although graduated in civil engineering, is working at a bakery earning minimal wage. Hell, I'm afraid time is just gonna pass, I'll become older, and everyone will leave me behind while I still try to figure out my life... I don't know what the fuck to do and procrastinating is hard to get over...

You truly are an inspiration, thanks for sharing!

Turning 20 in a little over a month and I feel the same. But I do not have any feeling whatsoever to stay in this feeling of repetitiveness. I just can't. Wish the best for you J.

im 16 right now and i feel the same. but just remember that we are still young. be grateful in the fact that we have these stories to guide us on what not to do, and what to value. time flies, so dont take it for granted, and waste it on useless things.

its just hard now with covid shit..

I turned 20 in May, and my days have been repetetive since I dropped out of college in 2019. No matter what I do, I always fall back into the coping mechanism that is gaming my life away. I’m introverted with no friends and no skills or career prospects and it scares me that so many people just…live like this. But at the same time, it’s getting harder and harder to stand out from the crowd (Employment wise and life-wise)

I felt the same for a while when I turned 19. It's alright. We know early and we will all make it, and live a life fulfilling to us.

This guy just shitted on every guy his age while crying crodile tears.

I don't think any of you understand his message, he wasted a lot of time doing stuff that in retrospect was useless for the future. (which is btw a common occurrence) So his current position could have been much better. -> "wasted my 20s" is just a way to catch peoples attention, a catchy title. Something most understand and can relate to. -> "crocodile tears" He didn't shit on every guy, he just expressed something many of us feel. -> "c*nt*" Useless comment, what exactly was bad about this video or him as a person? You're right Mike he is top 1%. Sounds like a motivating comment you posted, like tough love. Don't understand the negativity in the replies though.

@@thoughtfulluis6202I can understand you can relate, but am I supposed to feel sympathy? The thing about RU-vid and TV is that they somehow manage to create the idea that what they went through was tough and painful unlike anyone else and that they somehow deserve the attention. The crude reality is that there are millions of young men (women I have no clue) that went through worse and are not dressing it up as dramaticaly as he is doing. Look I don't really care, I just found it annoying. I have respect for the guy and his achievements I am sure he had it rough. But he has his successes to show for. Many people watching are just in a rut. It is a bit annoying to watch this guy soft boast. You don't have to care about my opinion. It's just one in a sea. That's just my thoughts. I'm sure he can be useful for many out there. But that whole victimhood stance and then showing his troophies was grandstanding and a bit deceiving. What am I supposed to have pity of his riches? LOL da fuck

@@brain0nfire I mean, at some point I just liked the video cause I understood what he was saying and many people don't learn about it until way later in their lives. Its my first time watching his content and well all I got out of it was "I feel like this" so the purpose of the video was more like him venting. Which basically means I'm not really gonna get anything out of it as I already know what he's talking about and I don't recall him giving a solution. Uh as for the boasting/annoyed thing I didn't really interpret it like that. (I believe I zoned out halfway thru the video tho and started reading comments which might I add I read the married at 21 and was utterly surprised) So yeah not really defending him just your comment by itself seemed petty if you add the comment the next guy made... Like I didn't get where you both were coming from. Now that you explained your view I guess if I rewatched the video I probably could see it, but the content in itself is mundane and that could be why I looked towards the comments for like stories of how ppl overcame their issues and whatnot. So i'll just take your word that he came off obnoxious if you look in between his words. 2/10 enjoyment 7/10 explanation "manage to create the idea that what they went through was tough and painful unlike anyone else and that they somehow deserve the attention"- welcome to every social media platform :D where everyone has an opinion and you best believe it'll be shared. anyway thx 4 the reply i appreciate it

ThoughtfulLuis so you’re saying this video was basically clickbait

Thats how I feel mostly.

Video games may be a waste of time for u if they hog your time, but they're are not a waste of time themselves as they provide a source of creative input, which is vital if you want to produce great output. Personally for me, life isnt just about what I accomplish, but what I enjoy doing.

@@NPark-ne4ii I'm not sure of your current situation or you past experience, but from what I've been through when I hit my mid 20's I realized that I was not mentally equipped to take on the real world. Growing up we have the comforts of being a teenage to mask our true insecurities that will later trouble us down the road. Maybe these insecurities came from past childhood trauma or not hitting the milestones growing up to gain experience and confidence. What I can say to help you, is identify that you have issues like anxiety or depression and tell yourself that it's only a emotion or thought and that those emotions are temporary. I take long walks and and talk to people about how I feel. Keeping those feeling inside won't do you any good. If you ever have a chance in your life to travel somewhere in the world, it's definitely a life changer. That's just me. Sorry for the long response, hope you take something from it.

Confidence, that doesnt even make sense. Confidence that when people look at you think why the fuck is he/she so confident.

Don't forget to set your life up though because if you go through your 20s without setting yourself up a career choice of some sort and doing the ground work to solidify what your going to do then it almost feels far too late by 30. Fulfilment will inevitably stand in line with financial success at some point no matter what people say. I promise. Be smart, enjoy your time but also put in work and effort to make it easier later to continue enjoying your life

That’s a good sentiment. I’m 19 and I’d say I worry far too much about if I’m wasting my time or not but it’s about doing what truly makes yourself happy currently, and lining yourself up to be happier tomorrow and beyond. That means appreciating now and accepting the future will come much sooner than expected :)

Start watching bigger pockets videos

What is fulfilling now may not be fulfilling in the future. I am not saying do not do what is fulfilling to you now, but it would be smarter to supplement that by finding something else that is also fulfilling that is more concrete and time-independent, e.g. future-proof. I wish I knew this ):[.

Looks and sounds. I decided to grow goatee after 21 to look more mature. In 28 without it I looked like 20. But now I have a freaking beard because things happened and now I'm kind of look goofy. So yeah. Good job anyway. You sound good enough to me. Or I wouldn't even stop to look at your videos. I don't like some creators because they have nasty voices.

Well he won’t after male patterned baldness sets in 🙄

You don't age much between 24-29, dont worry my young friend ;)

@@zORg_alex Lol, same here. I've been rocking a goatee and a mustache as soon as I entered University. Otherwise people in the liqueur store would ask me for an ID.

it hits me so deep when i heard that.

HAHAHAHA

That's hilarious and something great to strive for 😂😉 brilliant

Steven Shaw... your dog will put his paw on your shoulder and say “ but you are the man I think you are Steve” and then you’ll freak out because your dog just talked.

I'm 27 now but just started to take action on eating healthy, gym and social life.

life is meant to be enjoyed, once consciousness ends nothing matters. Enjoy and don't stress out we are all living for the first and last time.

I am 34 and I felt the way you felt. For most of 30-34 I worked on most of my regrets of my 20s and I am now better off. Recently I have been feeling shitty for not being productive enough over the past 3 months. You may not get over all of your issues completely but you can act now and make yourself better off. I did that from 30 until present and I can say I am a lot happier now. Keep trying man, you're not alone with your issues. We're rootin for ya

@AtR I know right idk what to do how to stop

Don't worry, you still have life ahead of you.

Interesting your at this point with 22. I actually took 25 years to get to this point. And interesting you mention how relatable the video is. Same with me. I just realize we are all the same somehow. Very strange. But interesting as well.

SAme

same. did yo start college already?

Sooo, I'm about to turn 20 and I already regret playing counter strike for at least 2500h (not wanting to mention all those other games -.-). But as you mentioned already, this video is super relatable. Even tho I've just finished school I already feel like having wasted so much potential and not having committed enough. Anyhow, listening to other people feeling the same is somewhat reassuring because it makes me feel less naive / stupid. Uni is starting soon and this video is a real incentive to go "all out" ngl. Thank you honestly

Hey man. Dont worry. I felt the same being a 18 year old even though i did stuff

Says that he lost too much time playing videogames and didn't have enough experiences > moves to Finland and gets marrietd at 21. What?

Dude is full of shit lol

geez! I was like: "woah woah...hold on!!" lmao

Bitches make you do crazy shit, man.

Be a mess, move across the world. Logically a dumber decision I've made.

NOW THAT'S WISDOM. You've oppend my mind man thanks.

Yes but is hard , for me is so fucking hard.

You may still feel that way on your last day.

Sameee!! I’m 17 and I’m supposed to be applying to colleges soon. I feel like I have to make the right choice to set myself up good for the future. Also, just the college application process in general “list your awards” “what organizations did you participate in” “where were you a leader” makes me realize how little of those I actually have. What was I doing?

Same here as well. I am 17, have to apply for a college but I just don't know what I want to do.

You guys are way too young for those thoughts. At 17 you are still children. You shouldnt expect yourselves to have amounted to anything yet.

Chill dude. Don't overthink.

Still a good title to clickbait a lot of people, for a good reason that too. I'm 21 turning 22 this November, and this video has been an Eyeopener. I am currently having sleepless night due to not having a job at my age. The panic is real ngl.😨😰

@@papyrustheroyalguardsmen3446 I feel you man. We got this. It's very important to believe in yourself, to believe that you are NOT completely screwed. Of course, there are some people who have the skills to make $100k a year at about 16. And yes, if you compare yourself to them, you will absolutely feel devastated. But keep in mind that your twenties are only starting and you are already seriously concerned about your professional path and your well being in general (which is great, a lot of people wish they would've started being serious about their lives at your age) . Work toward your goals and keep track of your own progress, you can do it.

@@euku1 Thanks man. I just got an Unpaid Internship today. It's something atleast. I'll learn and start earning someday. I wish you good luck in life too.💯 Listen to this song. Take me to the Top - Initial D.

@@euku1 Wait 16yr old and $100k a Year😳? Who are you talking about exactly? I was having a good day and you had to ruin it by saying that. My insomnia just got worse by reading that.

@@papyrustheroyalguardsmen3446 don't worry man, I just said that to point out the fact that it's not a good idea to compare yourself to others in such way. Just as there are some geniuses, there are also people in their 30's who earn just enough to buy food and are still happy about themselves.

Omg I need to be reminded of this everyday.

So true

Your saying is gold! Now it’s on my wall of quotes . 😂😊

Holy shit

Yet the deepest, grounding level of contentment should be unconditional, so even without a journey

You're 19 bro... I'm 24 and I felt like a baby until the age of 22... You have more time thank you think

I'm 19 and I battled depression for 11 years & it got worse during the pandemic I've spent months suicidal & locked in my room. I started reading books, I dropped from uni & took a break now I am looking for another uni. I tried committing suicide but what did I do in my life to end it? I want to leave a mark in the world before I leave. I am now learning Italian & Spanish Just from youtube. IT'S NEVER THE END. I am living with depression & suicidal thoughts but I will never end my life that's what I know. KEEP FIGHTING.

I’m 20 and miss being 19 ffs it’s weird

@@shoazdon7000 Don't waste your 20 missing 19. That's life we won't be young forever you still have a long time in front of you, best of luck!

Joselina yeah that is true, and I know for you right now it’s tough but I can tell from your comment you are a fighter. Keep pushing through and you will make it and leave your mark. I’m battling constant anxiety issues and it does get easier their is light at the end of the tunnel. KEEP FIGHTING!!

Yup!

Your last name is funny.

Agree!

@@stackingflow and you last name is...... ra-WHAT?

@@anushkasingh2786 hahahah burn :')

You're smart to have skipped college. College does not guarantee you a job. Sounds like you have some excellent skills. I encourage you to learn a trade. Web development and car mechanics are in demand. Best of luck to you.

@@rthcats2 College teaches you how to think and maneuver in a way that a trade can't though. Everyone in my family went to a University and I considered going to a trade because although initially I liked school, I grew bored of it early on when I wasn't challenged enough. Now at 22 I'm trying to go to a Uni, but I think a big majority of that is due to the influence from my family.

Research the tech field

I can agree there are some fake people, but there are also many different personalities with different goals. I think josh is still very much in the search of his soul and what makes him happy, i can still hear in his voice that he has some questions in his head that he cannot answer.

Yeah, it’s cringe just seeing them eating food and drinking starbucks all day,

Check BradTraversy. He is very talented developer and talks a lot about struggling with depression, lack of motivation and how to "push" yourself to achieve your goals etc.

👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

From 24-26 went by in a blur for me 😢 it's speeding up

get out thats 24/7 job trust

Yeah I’m 23 and already having thoughts that humans shouldn’t naturally live to like 80 or something. You feel like you’ve already done most of the special stuff in life, like you know what being an adult is, and you just have to keep yourself entertained for another 65 years or so with random exciting events in between (wedding, kids, etc) until you die?!? It gets grim guys, if you’re reading this and younger than me, go enjoy life instead of playing video games in your room. You have more than enough time to do that later, until you’re bored of it... 😬

@@ThatGuy09890 I'm reading this and younger than you (21) except I don't know what enjoying life is besides playing video games lmao

@@ThatGuy09890 I'm 17 and this hit hard. Any cool ideas to enjoy life?

can relate heavily

Ive felt the same way for 6 years. Good luck to you man

Well if it helps no matter what you do whether you spend 24 hours a day playing video games or 24 hours a day writing code, it won't matter in a billion years. Literally nothing that any one is doing in the world right now matters for anything in the long-term and if you take into account the ridiculous size of the universe it doesn't matter in the short-term either. You, me, jeff bezos, bill gates, some random homeless guy, in the big picture all of our contributions will be approximately the same: zero. I find that thought soothing in a weird way. It's all about not taking stuff too seriously while you are here I think.

@@teamspeak9374 tbh I don't find that soothing, but rather depressing, but perhaps I should look at it in your way

@@TheDrghu Sometimes I find it depressing too depending on my mood but when I'm really stressed out about something or I start feeling bad because I played videogames all weekend or something like that I always try to frame the situation in that way looking at things and it helped me a lot in some situations

I'm curious though - how? When? You work 6 out of 7 days a week. I feel like for me, there's no time to do anything cool!

ROFLgator LOl I can relate so much, but I'm only 18. I haven't gone out or done anything really since I finished high school. All I've been doing is working and studying. This shit is really depressing.

@@sirkamyk9886 I own my own business. Im a contractor. I work from 7am - 7pm most days. The more I work, the more money I make & the more I grow my business. Its 12:40pm Sunday right now & I just woke up lol. Same drill next week. Planning a trip to Hawaii on September though, need take advantage of my last year in my 20s...

@@ROFLgator1 I think you should be proud that you own a business. But, if anything does bother you or you feel nothing at the moment I hope all goes well bro.

@@sirkamyk9886 cool is subjective

@@yoyonis6840 you mean drugs?

I'm not 20 yet and I'm worried

@@yoyonis6840 yes drugs great best

It's better to be worried than to live a hedonistic life full of mediocrity. I'd be worried any day.

Get out this Boomer tier advice

@Jackson Robert graduated with my master’s last july and still can’t find good shit lmao. we’re all doomed.

Same dude. 23 years old and I'm broke asf and still with my parents.

@Jackson Robert Dang, what did you major in?

Oof yeah the thing they don’t teach you when you take the school route is everyone looks at college students as if they’re sheltered. The real world experience is where it counts and if you’re in a field where most skills can be taught on the fly from base understanding. Better off answering phones at Wendy’s for 2 years than getting a degree in answering phones. I’m in the automotive field and even high end dealers will put a tech with history through training over a college or program grad ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.

It can be frightening because our choices and the path that we follow now establish what lies in the future. From the bright side, it is the same thing for everyone, noone just born into his career / way of living, except really rich kids, which they don't count.

I'm 22 and I was forced to move out of my parents house. I'm working for corporation that is not bad but treating me like i'm not needed at all. The thing is how do I move out of this situation?

@@LevtNow make your own company. Find what you're good at and do that and pay people to do the rest. If it's a good idea, you'll get payed back.

FLAGELLANT the real question is should you risk it or nah? That depends on you

Yea sucks to know that one day we'll turn to dust. I cant imagine losing my parents. I know the event will happen or maybe I'll go first but it just sucks

@@sneezygibz6403 better to just not think about it... now I'm depressed :)
