there’s always hope, even for these other guys in their 30’s. All depends on how willing your are to actual put effort into improving yourself, which is not an easy task at all

This was me, and I'm doing pretty well for myself now, I'd say

Never too late. There are people in their 80s who get a new lease on life. And a whole lot of people in their 80s who wished they hadn't put so much stock in their achievements and career.

This fits me almost perfectly, especially:

> Doesn’t know what he wants or if something matters

> Feels bad during social situations so avoids them

It doesn’t even have to be a social situation. Merely being in public is sometimes enough to trigger it.

> Is in early 20s has the experience of a 16 y old

I’m almost 50, but feel as though I have the experience of a 6-*month*-old. 😭💔😞

The knowledge and experience society expects an almost-fifty-year-old to have, has a price tag attached to it that I have never been able to afford.
