Browsing the internet might have made me pessimistic about adulthood

[Indian Race Troll (IRT)]

I have had this terrible habit that I am not so sure is terrible, it is that a curiosity one. One where I have to go looking and really find out more about something whether it is a product, a service, or just questions about life. Somehow that very habit brought me to Girlschase as I was looking for solutions to getting better with women. Well, now I am thinking that terrible habit has brought me to some sort of a fucked up view of the world maybe because I have spent so much time on the web.

I've read articles on various big name blogs like Elite Daily, Thought Catalog, and posts on some very high traffic forums and sites (reddit for example). It seems like a lot of the most negative shit gets so much press and a lot of upvotes/approval from the majority.

I used to have this almost borderline fantasy vision about life after college and just as an adult, an almost Dan Bilzerian like vision. I would be the best version of myself, be that much better with women, make some real good friends worth being friends with, and enjoy life with quality people. Then it is like out of nowhere, maybe I got whacked with a reality bat.

Now I started hearing about how it is much tougher to make friends as an adult.

How everyone gets married or is married after the age of 30.

How everyone more or less settles into their old group of friends and rarely ventures out.

How lonely and isolated it all is once you're out of the school setting.

How it doesn't even matter all that much anymore, life is just supposed to more or less be a countdown to death after that.

It is like my view of the world that was sunny immediately got a violent aggressive dark cloud over it which rained on any parade I had planned.

I want to see promise and feel like there might be something special out there in adulthood that I am not hearing of, almost like some sort of a hidden social gem, but being on the internet for so long has corrupted my head and made me think the answer is there might not be, like the younger days were the peak of it all....

Get off the internet...

You need to experience on personal level first, then connect it with knowledge from internet... not the other way...

Adulthood, life itself is neither pessimistic nor optimistic. The only thing that matters is how you look at it, whether through pessimistic, optimistic or other lenses. The magic of life is that you can chose; at the same time, nobody can chose for you...

It's the same with women, they can be a great source of fun if you are mature enough and know what you are doing, or they can be misery if you are acting needy and immature...

Turn everything off, shut GC down, grab your balls and go out meet girls... Only you, rely only your own mind, nothing else... Learn from interactions, view each interaction as great learning, regardless of outcome... Get a notebook, write down only positive things from each interaction, only what you have learned... If you get rejected, great. Write down: "It was a great rejection experience today, I did A, B and C right, but I learned that next time I should not do XYZ"... Then come back in 3 months...

Just do it, from now on start acting like a fucking warrior... There is no mercy in this world, you can feel sorry and pity for yourself, you can feel like a loser for 100 years... Or you can conquer, you can achieve, you can win... Even little achievements and wins accumulate into huge pile over time... The choice is only yours...

I have not been posting as often other than my journal in recent weeks, I need that in order to get expert advice from others on GC about my approaches.
