Yes but also read the Upanishads

Seriously, what the fuck OP. You’re not even a fully grown adult yet. You still have residual teenager sadbrains bullshit. You are still way before the point of no return, so get your shit together.

>I'm a 21 year old shut in that has wasted several years of his youth.
literally me but 2 years older.

You guys didn't even reach your quarter-life crisis yet.

you're just a kid

This is my first time seeing it but I've read both of the Newport books. I really think that more people should read Digital Minimalism.
It's not that you should give up technology, rather you should be conscious of how you use it and seek to maximize the benefit it provides while minimizing the deleterious effects.

Man, you need to read the Steppenwolf (yes, by Hermann Hesse) before it's too late for you.

rig veda. wanderer's havamal. the bible. the quran.

>wasted several years of his youth
Going to parties and having casual sex isn't a better way to spend your youth than whatever you did. Why do people think that indulging in animalistic pleasure is "the good life"?

your best years are mid 20s to late 30s, you haven't missed much. look forward.

dude, I am literally the same (21 yo, time wasted youth) but I just didn't decided if I shoud go back to uni or not, I still feel like no

>Why do people think that indulging in animalistic pleasure is "the good life"?
stop with the sour grapes cope. it objectively is at least when you're young and in college you can get away with that kind of stuff. it's socializing and networking. it's later on in life where you should be married with children and a house where that kind of hedonism is pathetic.

>it's socializing and networking
I may be reading this wrong, so forgive me in advance in the event I did read it wrong. Now, I am going to call you a fucking retarded faggot troon and to go dilate, you monkey nigger. cope cope cope cope.

make sure you quit that shit while you're ahead, you dont want to suddenly find yourself at 28 realizing your 20s are gone and you have nothing to show for it but mental/physical health problems that weigh you down and make it more difficult to recover

pretty much everyone's last two years sucked ass

You are just excusing your lack of pussy

>21
>wasted youth
???

>21
At least turn 30 before lamenting wasted youth

What is the point of no return?

32 khv

>21

For follies past be ceased the fruitless tears:
Let follies past to future care incite.

When you get terminal cancer

yeah that would really suck ha ha

come back and say this past 27

Why 27 in particular?

I started medschool at 23
Talk about wasted time

30

wtf I spent my youth going to parties and having casual sex and I feel like I am the one who wasted it.

same except I'm 35 and wasted every year

I see too many of these threads each week to not doubt your sincerity OP but listen here. I was working a little over minimum wage, no friends and living with my parents at 27. Now Im 33 and a scientific project manager and own a home and doing all the Yea Forums things I always wanted. Dont ever beat yourself up for wasting your time, even time can be redeemed.
If I can tell you anything, just be deliberate about what you want and drill down more specofic, actionable tasks you can do to start the process toward what you want. Start small and relax, youll be fine.

>21
Shut the fuck up. Enjoy your life, you self-pitying faggot.

Quit being a desperate coomer. Start lifting weights, read Aristotles and/or Confucius.

Great book

24 year old that actually went out, there’s nothing outside for us

In the time we live in, it is the good life, to an extent. You don't have to go full hedonism or something, but it's good for young men to spend time with women. If you spend your youth keeping to yourself, just reading books or playing video games or whatever, you'll probably regret it when you're older.

I talked to my family about businesses they were in, interviewed companies on positions i wanted, found out that the track was a BS degree and undergrad research or internship. Got grants with my loan, did college in 3 years and moved states to a decent midsize company. Always seek advice and questions from people above you to understand what they did but be aware of survivorship bias
In general, faculty, coworkers etc will be far more valuable to your development than your peers who may have chips on their shoulders.
Concerning writing, you should read alot and write every day. Spend time learning the state of the trade, litetary techniques etc and again learn from people who get it. If you are serious you can make great progress after 3-5 years, just be diligent.

Jesus christ dude you're only 21

based knower

Ditch the trip

I've finished 4

You're 21...your youth just started dummy

oh dear you are 21 and think your life is wasted? Grow the fuck up.
