Where should I go when all hope is lost?
I'm in my mid twenties, from western europe and my life is complete shit. I spent years trying to improve myself and it's all coming tumbling down now as I realize I'm the same fricking loser I've ever been. Friends have pretty much given up on me, and I'm about to give up on everything too. I'm just willing to take one last shot.
I have about 7k saved up not counting the plane ticket budget. I prefer warm climates but anywhere is fine at this point.
Where should I go? I don't want to do stupid shit like larp as a mercenary in the congo because "bro you have nothing to lose lmao", I want something that'll make me feel something, help me turn my life around and stop seeing the world as a cesspit of hopelessness.
least you have friends you fricking homosexual i have no body at all and you dont see me making gay posts like this
>least you have friends
Not for long lmao I'm pretty sure I'm draining the life out of them
Fight as a Palestinian freedom fighter.
No thanks
You have to go back.
Go to asia and lose yourself somewhere you don't speak the language and don't know anything about.
Yeah maybe this is a good option.
What do you do in between trips to Thailand though?
I rot and read great works of literature while wage slaving
Ok giga dickrider I know you think this is your triumphant moment but when I say “triumphant return” I’m talking about quitting my job and going to Thailand for at least 6 months.
2 weeks out of the wagecage to relax is a fricking joke. I’ll take 6+ months off thanks
Going on 30, I've already accepted that my life is a dead end. Looking back, it's clear that since puberty I have always been a joyless friendless celibate, and none of my efforts to turn my life around and manifest a different self have changed that.
Nonetheless, finally traveling to Southeast Asia and living in cities has been comfortable. Hotels are great, the food is good, and the warm climate is conducive to a life of idleness. But it's delusional to think that a whole different person will suddenly blossom from within me after relocating to a different spot on the globe.
Important caveat...if your sex drive hasn't been stunted by years of celibacy like mine has, you may very well feel rejuvenated after making the rounds of the local sloots.
All depends on whether or not you are able to make your life of leisure feel great. The more frugal you are, the more likely you will find idleness to be boring or nihilistic, a "what the frick am I even doing here" kind of thing. This homosexual
has to hype his little Thailand trip up like it was some epic adventure, while others like myself routinely take five or six months off every year to wander about overseas. We know that idleness has its miseries just like wageslaving does.
Don't be stupid. That's all you need to know.
Just go to pattaya thailand and creampie hookers.
I went for 2 weeks in 2017, and since then, it’s been my only motivation in life. I can literally remain hyped about my “triumphant return to Thailand” for TWO YEARS. This countdown started at 500 days.
I tell people “yea I’m going back to Thailand” and they’re bewildered that I’m somehow looking forward to something that’s half a year away. It’s the sole driving force in my life. I’m sure you’ll get something from it
>slaving away for a year just for two weeks of respite from your shit life

If you have no particular fascination with any one culture or place but you’re Western European and want to leave Western Europe, go to Eastern Europe, New York, the American West, or Latin America.
>Latin America
Seems nice, but hasn't safety always been an issue?
Yeah, but it’s worth considering because it will obviously be the most adventurous experience. When I chose these places, I kept in mind the opinion of Cicero, who thought the purpose of life, or one of the purposes of life, was to partake in the history of your people. New York and the American West offer an obviously uniquely Western European opportunity for expanded horizons, New York mostly upward and the West outward. Eastern Europe is in some sense a lot like the historical Western Europe, and some people have historical ties there, such as the Germans and Austrians. As a Western European, you may or may not have some historical relationship with Latin America. If you do, consider it. If you don’t, don’t. But what I think you should do basically, if you want to leave and if you have no interest in contributing the political, social, cultural or economic life of your own country and its history, those are the most obvious places to do that. If you had said that you had a particular interest in Japan or in India, I would’ve suggested you go there but you didn’t.
>last hope destination
>worried about safety
Just off yourself already, pussy.
>if you're so depressed why don't you just go and get skinned alive in some favela shithole? checkmate
Shut the frick up moron
If he's depressed now, he's really never gonna have the sunny disposition anyone would require to live the rest of their lives as the cartel's work&rape slave.
Yes it’s more unsafe than Europe obviously
Just stay outside of the bad neighborhoods and don’t walk around looking like you just came out of Amsterdam, strolling around with your bags and luggage is also a no-go
>t. Euro living in South America for over a decade
>Just stay outside of the bad neighborhoods and don’t walk around looking like you just came out of Amsterdam, strolling around with your bags and luggage is also a no-go
How does this work if you just come out of the airport though? Won't the local criminals immediately spot you as a target?
join some groups and make some efriends with expats in various locations to decide because it all depends on what you are looking for and who you can be around. tryina figure it all out on your own will waste half your time. honestly you should just find a successful passportbro to guide you uuntil you can fly on your own because if you don't do it right, your depression will just get worse.
That's a really cool looking area. Where is it? Somewhere in Southern California?
This reminds me of a story
A sea captain, after many battles fought, and lives taken, was sat on cliff inhaling the sea mist, staring at the reflection of twilight on the sea.
He was supposed to have said
"I'm putting an oar on my shoulder and I'm starting inland.
the first time a guy says to me 'whats that on your shoulder?'.. that's where I'm settling for the rest of my life"
maybe anon, you could go somewhere truly unknown.
So he wants to be so far away from his previous life that no one around him even knows what an oar is?
Interesting. I like this one.
Op sounds like your need an ego boost vacation that is also exotic enough to be weird and memorable.
I recommend Kenya if you like black girls. They will treat you like a king there and it's confusing and bizarre enough to keep you engaged and alert the whole time you are there.
Thailand is also okay for an ego vacation, just remember 'let the girl come to you'. Putting effort into chasing the prettiest hooker who is only there for drinks while she waits for her 10000 thb a night sugar daddy to show up, is a pathway to annoyance and fail.
What's the Kenya equivalent for other ethnicities
The great part about Thailand is that if you're kind of a gay but closeted you can get railed by legitimately good looking ladyboys who enjoy being on top.
I'm telling you there is no greater ego boost then being rabidly hit on by ladyboys who want to rape you.
Question about the Thailand meme.
Is it really easy to not get with a dude over there? Because I'm not a gay and I would be disgusted and ashamed if one managed to trick me.
You're not going to accidentally frick a man. Take a shower together first and check for a vegana. If you get a freelancer from dating apps most hotels will take the hooker's ID and let you know 'lady' or 'mister' when they call your room to send them up. I suppose its possible to accidentally get sucked off by a man at a massage place but you could always discreetly ask one of the others if you don't have the heart to ask the girl if she's actually a man. I filter any that are tall or have fake breasts and seek out wide hips. They were all women in my case.
If you truly have lost hope, I would recommend going to a place of worship. For the sake of SighSee, it could be a holy site, or you could go on a pilgrimage (like Santiago or 88 Temple). Whatever resonates with you, go find others who reaffirm your belief and humble yourself to the God, yourself or the world.
If none of this works, I'd go home and hug my mom.
>I'm the same fricking loser I've ever been
this will follow you wherever you go
there is no deep meaning in traveling, nothing will happen.
Isn't everyone moving to Seattle now?
All of the jeets and changs apparently
I'm seeing more indians in my neighborhood. They're literally everywhere.

Great tips, thank you anon.
>last hope locations
>7K saved
>wants to feel something
I suggest you get an online job. Something remote that pays decent. You don't want to move to some 2nd world, cheap country with no income.
IMO:
Costa Rica
Thailand
Cambodia
Philippines
Europe is dead. South America is a shithole full of socialists. Africa lol. East Asia is too expensive. SEA and Central America are the only places to truly escape. Mexico is hit and miss.
I am in the same boat as you. If my current initiatives fail, I will go teach English in east Asia. I am sick of trying to create a life in a system rigged against you. Nepotism has destroyed this country.
>an online job
Like what? It's pretty hard to get a stable job that is fully remote
I'm in the same boat, approaching thirties faster than I'd like to. I work but I have no idea why I do it, I don't feel I have a future. I have 10 days free from work in March and I'm considering a trip somewhere to sate my wanderlust for now. I just need to leave for a while and think, I think I'll go to SEA or the balkans.
> and stop seeing the world as a cesspit of hopelessness
Travel won't fix this. You're only hopeless when you feel that things can't possibly get better, but for most people they can. It's not necessarily easy, and it requires work (going back to school, learning a trade, making yourself vulnerable, etc) but especially if you're in western Europe there are by any metric ample opportunities to improve your life, more than virtually any other point in history.
Step back, breathe, then come up with a plan that doesn't involve blowing your life up.
