I know it's almost 2020 and we're meant to be looking to the year ahead in a positive mood hoping for positive things, but despite being fairly comfortable in life and having not ever gone without much I can't help but come to the conclusion at 27 that life is in fact overrated and actually pretty sh!t.
Now before I'm put on suicide watch or people tell me stop complaining cos my life could be so much worse let me just say that I know all that and I know i haven't got it bad. Yet I still think that everything everyone thinks is good in this life isn't actually all that amazing IMO (even the "best" things).
One aspect of this is the balance between the amount of time working and the amount of pleasure time we have and how the pleasure in my case is never worth the effort put in to achieve it.
Every "thing" each of us wish we could have, someone has and has come to acknowledge it's not actually that great and could live without it. Even jackpot winners don't seem all that happy once they've got used to having the money.
Life is hard going with everything we worry about and how hard we have to work to survive. I question whether it's all worth it.
I do wonder if I'm the only person who thinks life is overrated and whether it is because I am a single 27 year old guy in an IT job without any kids, marriage etc or whether people who have all this feel the same!?!?
Discuss.
Thanks. |  |

That attitude forms part of the sneering metropolitan elite. The types who take several exclusive holidays abroad and then look down on real working people who may work in IT. And what is wrong with not having kids at 27 ? People like you are directly responsible for this countries demise and why Cyprus is now a better place to live. |  |

You’re a very angry and confused man Ben. You should take a fantasy holiday in the Indian Ocean to relax a bit. | | | |

I agree. Johnson holidaying in Mustique is a disgrace. Not just him either. There are other selfish frequent flying pricks showng total disregard for our children's health and for the planet as a whole. And then they try to justify it by cycling a few miles or planting a tree. I mean it makes my blood boil when some middle class dinner partying high achieving twot moans about their kids asthma whilst planning their latest jaunt skiing holiday during half term. W@nkers. | |

He flew BA economy to St Lucia. As did I in 2018. It's an overrated island. We explored all of it in a hire car and it's one of those places that looks nice from a distance but get up close and the beaches are dirty and you see broken glass in the sand. Drug use out of control. Drug smuggling gangs killing each other. It's like the isle of the damned once you get out of the hotel resorts. I'm off to st kitts next. I'm expecting similar but not quite so dangerous. | |

I am 50 and established and I agree with your sentiment. The issue I see is the more we evolve the less Human we are becoming. For instance as Humans we Need people however we don't want to put in the effort with anyone. As a less caring society we have devalued life itself... and all in the pursuit of an Abitary invention of Wealth. | | | |

One question. Why the feck is the tax payer paying for Johnsons holiday with his bint at a luxury resort in Mustique ? It's not an official Govt trip. Just an opportunity for the bloated clown to shag someone half his age funded by us muppets who pay tax. Still I guess the people's PM can do what he likes. | |

Of course he can and us chumps can carry on with our servile fawning.
Anyway, life is not really all that anyway so take solace in the inevitability of your mortality.

They are holidaying as guests of a wealthy German family and paying their own economy flights....so no it's not taxpayer funded. | | | |

Ok. I'll bite. Though still waiting for a reply from OP on another thread how he managed to watch SFC in the 80's if he is 27..... :)
Anyway, The following may be of interest / help; I'm not speaking as any great authority on the subject but my wife is a therapist / counselor and biographer and tried to explain bits of this to me once.
Firstly, Age 27 is now being seen as a "quarter life crisis" in the modern sense. Top google link i got:
https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/quarter-life-crisis-age-most-likely-job
It has also already been recognised as the year where humans experience what is known as "crisis of talent" and this can also be evidenced by many artistic celebrities taking their own life aged 27.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/27_Club
But the point is, what do you do about it? - If you can't get out of your job you are unsatisfied at then it is imperative that you put a lot of energy into a hobby / talent that you have. There are hundreds of mitigating factors but It is that lack of realising the potential of an undeveloped talent / reason for being here that could be affecting ones well being overall.
Personally, I left all the dosh that was in IT when i was younger simply as i saw myself becoming increasingly isolated and put family and jobs with more human contact first. Ok i naturally missed the money but couldn't put a price on overall the happiness since.
Happy 2020 all, whatever you do and wherever you are. | |

From what I can figure out I think the OP is quoting a ‘famous’ mongboard post from the past in which that poster is a 27 year old IT drone who is a bit down in the dumps. It’s a very odd thing to do so I can see why you were confused, but you need to remember that mongboarding is a huge part of some people’s lives. | | | |
