Have you guys ever had a 'defeated' feeling in your lives?

Defeated is exactly right.

I had so much fun and I red lined it at every opportunity. Had great women that I lost. Talent wasted.

Before I knew it I was out of time. I'm still living, but the old grey version is not opening the same doors as the younger version. The women I really want are a at least a decade younger than me and not checking for the Breh.

On the upside, my family is back together after decades apart. Moms, Unc, and Bro. I am getting to spend time with them before it's too late.. I was out of state for a long time and I saw that happen to people I knew - they would only see their folks once or twice a year then get that phone call.

In the end I'm gonna have to get up and go find whatever I feel I'm missing. But I'm kind of exhausted (dealing with what you may find online dating or clubbing).

yeah. I’ve been ok for the past month, but it’s rough. I just try to be around family and work towards improving my life.

i did today there’s time i wasted that ill never get back. opportunity wanes as you get older. there’s certain moments in life where you only had one shot to do it right and you failed or never tried. now you think you’re not good enough and compare yourself to those who were successful at certain things or capitalized at the right time

all you can do now is look back at what you didn’t do because you were too scared or had a shytty circumstance which affected your self esteem to pursue your future desires with confidence

i didn’t start taking myself serious until i turned 20 now i gotta make up for lost time times 2

i wasted most of my life being unaware, lame, afraid and letting people get me into a timid shell.

sometimes when progress moves slow i look back and think, “damn i should’ve started “xyz” when i was younger”

or i cringe at how i used to present myself

I been through so much and life continues to kick my butt. Sometimes i get to feeling when will it be my turn ya kno cant i have nice things? a family of my own? or even peace? Anybody else ever experienced this? I hope we all get our breakthroughs soon man.



I went through deep debilitating depression last year for the first time in my life. It was a combination of losing people in the pandemic and then just dealing with the stresses of regular life.

I'm here to tell you things get better, breh. Never ever give up and keep moving forward.

I don't know how old you are, brother but age is a good thing if you're in shape and established. At the age I am now, I feel more confident in my ability to pull anything than I ever have been. I'm older, wiser, established, more mature. A lot of women are looking for that. A lot.

Helping take care of my mom and unc. At the family home.

Another huge barrier to the bachelor lifestyle. But it's my priority. I mean to allow them to live the rest of their days at home.

Edit: I'm 48

Sounds like a lot of responsibility. But still take care of yourself, work out, eat healthy, and talk to these women, brother. Your situation is not an ideal situation but you will never know if you don't try and offer the best version of yourself that you can possibly offer in your current predicament.

Whenever I feel defeated, I give myself 10 minutes to have a pity party, then I take a breath step back reevalute the sitation and figure out a new path ahead. Can't spend too much time wallowing in despair when you could be making moves. I always have multiple plans trying to cover what could happen. Wifey thinks I am crazy, but she goes through life hoping for the best. I can't do that bruh.
