How the fuck do I even compete with these people? I only have 2 internships, one extracurricular activity, and an absolute shit-tier GPA (2.5). Am I cursed to be a NEET forever?
Let me guess you wasted your life away playing video games? user life has consequences.
John Russell
None of that shit matters retard. Do some soul searching.
Blake Nguyen
why you care so much ?
Thomas Edwards
I just want to get a job and make enough of a living to be able to afford a house. I'm tired of even the most menial of life tasks having to be some intense spiritual battle.
Because I want a job to be able to support myself, my family, and my future children with, without having to sell my soul for it.
Jackson Williams
just lie faggot
Oliver Lopez
At least you don’t have a worthless fucking mechanical engineering degree
Carter Hernandez
I mean, there are plenty of tradesmen and even professionals out there who don't do all of that on LinkedIn and still get comfortable lives. You might not get those $200-250k salaries and all that prestige but you can still make a comfortable living.

>sell my soul for it
But they did and that’s why they’re on LinkedIn. It’s literally called linked in. Duh!
getting a decent paying job is not hard, not even shitting you
Ryder Rogers
>at age 23
doubt it. You are pretty much useless at 23 and have to have your hand held or just be given bitch work until you actually know what the fuck you're doing by around ~27. Just because your company hands out cool sounding job titles, you pay dues to some bullshit organizations, and wrote some bullshit papers in undergrad doesn't make you successful. You really think employers are trusting some dude a year out of college with anything actually important? Its all a facade to make themselves feel better and you're falling for it.
Stop using social media btw that shit is poison.

And what do you think home ownership will be full of? Rainbows and unicorns? Owning a home can be a headache. If you can't even rentcuck without stressing, good luck owning property.
Secondly, you're 23. Shut the fuck up. You are young enough that you can change your career multiple times in the next decade if you don't like what you're doing. Yes, it's going to be hard work and poor-paying at first but that's just how it is. Deal with it one step at a time.
Luis Parker
Oh and thirdly, the average person your age does not have all that shit on Linkedin, what the fuck are you talking about? Get your head out of the gutter for a second and see that most peoples' heads are still in the gutter. Then, put your head back in the gutter and suffer. Suffer and become stronger.
Josiah Mitchell
Yeah but they are all miserable and/or vaxxed. Working like communist dogs.
Bentley Nelson
you're doing great bro. stop comparing yourself to other people (except in the adlerian since, to inspire yourself to be better). your true competition is with who you were yesterday! so kick his ass!
Charles Martinez
I hate Linkedin too, not because the people are more successful than me, but because it reminds me of how awful working in an office is, everything is fake and gay posturing.
Elijah Reed
I had a professor who brought in a printed out sheet of everyone’s LinkedIn and basically shit on them one by one calling out the people as they went along.
“100+ connections, guess you have a lot of friends” “Would it kill you to have a professional picture” “Don’t just add skills that sound nice.”
But the professor really loved the one that had a mantra. Probably the biggest bullshitter of them all and that’s the one they liked the best
Joshua Ortiz
How can everyone be vice president of the whatever club? It just doesn't add up. Do Normalfags take turns being vice president so they all get a chance to say ot in their page?
Josiah Rodriguez
I've been spending 10-15 minutes every morning adding connections, following companies etc. After a few months my LinkedIn will be top notch.
Sebastian Mitchell
Let me smack some sense into you from the ripe age of 25.
EVERYBODY IS CURATING SOMETHING.
Attractive people curate wardrobes and physical health. Adventurous people curate a life of experiences. You've probably been curating a mix of things bro. A jack of all trades is a master of none. You probably have a few skills that you've dumped a lot of time into that aren't the normy ones that get a lot of attention. Just recognize your own worth and accept that life is not about your career.
Gavin Cooper
I needed to read these. I put off making a LinkedIn for such a long time because I fucking despise the social media nonsense but in the end I had to do it to get a job. I should've just stuck to the job listings page but I got sucked into the social media aspect of it and started stalking everyone who I felt was better than me which made me feel like shit. I deleted all my social media in 2013 as a teenager because I understood this shit was poisonous. I should know better now.
