Ugh

I've posted before about feeling like a loser because I'm 35, no girlfriend, no career movement in over a decade. I've been told that it's fine that my life hasn't followed the traditional path, that there is no rule book on how to live your life. Well guess what? I went to a house party tonight and I could feel the huge mistakes I made in my life being over a decade older than everybody else. So now I'm back home writing this and I'm about to hear my roommate fuck his girlfriend while I try to ignore it and pretend like life is going great for me.

Hahaha, I feel your pain.

Get it off your chest

And take the fuel of your anger and do something with it.

In life, if you don't try, you don't get. Career stagnation for 10 years? Ask for more responsibility and push yourself to complete those additional tasks. No girlfriend? You gotta chase what you want. NOTHING will land in your lap with a bow on it; anything worth achieving takes hard efforts. Use that rage of disappointment to propel you forward.

Your life will change when you change the narrative about how you talk about yourself. 35, single, and no career movement aren't bad things. What are you doing about it? Compassion over complaining bro.

"I'm about to hear my roommate fuck his girlfriend"

I wonder what that sounds like.

And at least you were invited to a house party. You're already one step ahead of me.

You don't have to pretend to be satisfied with your life when you aren't. You should accept that things aren't to your liking and that your path has been different (whoever have you that advice was on point). Changing your life to be what you want is the deviation your path is about to take. But please, don't lie to yourself about being satisfied when you aren't - that's probably the worst thing you can do for your future happiness.

what you put out is what you get back

If you never take emotional risks and put yourself out there, this is what will result. Be honest about what you want. Make yourself someone you like. Everything else will follow.

Yeah...

You're not the only one. And you're younger than me. But you may still live to be a hundred.

You're sooo lucky!

You're so lucky you aren't a 35 year old female! Especially one who wants a family. We literally have a window between 35 and 40 to get pregnant. It's like this horrible anxiety inducing weight on our shoulders. Also- its harder to been seen as attractive when you age as a female.

two steps ahead of me, I don't have a roommate, don't get invited out.

Makes me wonder what OP's mother is like. Socially functional?
