I have to say, joining the board to troll certainly crossed my mind. Hell, no need to even troll. Can you imagine the reactions my usual middle-aged guy posts would get there?

Sample topic titles from their main board:

"Divorcing Parents"
"All my friends are losers"
"Is anyone here happy?"
"Square peg in a round world"

"I'm too intimidated to go look for a job"
"I don't think I even know me anymore"
"Everyone is doing better than me"

Please do this, and then provide links for us either in this thread or in a new, dedicated threak in DT.

Yeah but for different reasons. My job is good, there are several growth opportunities where I work, a raise is coming and there are a couple offers for various things I could pursue in the immediate future. I make enough money, would like more but who wouldn't. However, an honest assessment of my personal life shows very little is going well. There are certain parts of my life that I know if I don't fix ASAP I'll never get a chance to do later in life, or at least not easily. Not to sound like the QLC boards but I don't know what I could do to change what I need to.

Anyway flambeur please go troll.

a mixture of the two. Can't really explain it (**** i feel like those QLC people). Just not many real friends, had something great going on then lost it. Kind of at this point I just don't care anymore I guess.

Perhaps they moved to other cities and he didn't want to move with them, which would require a screenname change. It's understandable.

oh man... this forum is a downer. First threak I opened I read this winner: "I don't have any advice unfortunately, but I am exactly like you, except I don't have some friends, I have none, and don't know anybody besides my parents. I've thought about dying alone too. I've never dated, kissed, etc. either. I'm at the point where I'm completely ostracized from the outside world. People say do hobbies, etc. but I'm afraid of meeting people because they'll ask what I'm doing and find out I don't have a job, or existing hobbies, or even a personality/identity." http://www.quarterlifecrisis.com/for...50&postcount=6 if anything, this kinda makes me feel better for not being a complete dope. only a partial one
