You’ll never do anything with that mindset. People learn new shit all the time, can’t do it all while you’re young.
I know a woman who started practicing martial arts in her 60’s… She is 90 years old and 6th Dan in iaido. It’s never too late to start a new hobby.
6th Dan? What, all her husbands had the same name?
Oh sorry, dementia my bad
I got married to the widow next door, she’s been married

Anon has a self-pity fetish
Anon is a judgmental asshole and assumes everyone else is too.

Just do what you enjoy. Who gives a Fck what others think. Ffs, this post is infuriating.
Yeah it really is infuriating. I started MT at 26 and fought until I was 36. Nobody laughs at anybody in a Thai gym. Those who would are rooted out early because there’s always someone better than you.
Go in, work your balls off, don’t be a dick, keep coming back and you get respect. It’s that simple.
Exactly i tried telling op this buti couldn’t reply because 4chan captcha sucks.
Theres a video on youtube of romesh ranganathan, a successful Sri Lankan British comic who is fucking hilarious, successful and famous. Talented, clever, funny guy.
He says “I have an utter prick living inside my head and he talks to me a all the time…hes a fucking asshole”
Same voice as op
Even when you’re doing something of growth it finds a reason. Like op, training himself to be better in muay Thai and only comparing himself to those younger, faster and fitter than him. How could you possibly win that comparison.
If the only way someone can beat you is by being younger, faster, stronger, taller, etc… that’s good.
Number one, it takes time and practice to get good at anything, so being a wimp because you aren’t on top in the first year is just… wimpy.
Second, there’s this saying that went around the school I mostly trained at. “Hard fist is for kids, soft fist is for old timers”. And it’s true. Striking arts favor youth and resilience more than grappling arts. You start getting older, and you worry less about a knockout than you do about not being in pain after the sparring session is over lol.
Dude just wimped out instead of putting in the work or switching to something he could physically function at
Countless amounts of people only pick up new skills before they’re adults because, once they’re adults, they feel humiliated for, gasps, not being immediately good at something they’ve just started practicing for the first time.
This is a brainrot that will make you grow hollow and valueless, a shell of a human being who cannot stand the minimum amount of struggle to improve themself, ultimately amounting to an empty shade that might as well be a hum in the background, unable to grow, unable to improve, unable to leave any further mark on the world. Embrace the humility inherent to climbing a new ladder, or else you will never feel proud for anything new you ever do.
15 year olds learning martial arts for the first time look stupid too. Join an adult focused class if you’re self conscious

Anon’s hopelessness suggests he is clinically depressed. Also, I’m wondering about past experiences where anon felt mocked and ashamed. Perhaps anon is depressed because of an attachment trauma history?
33 years old. Thinks he’s a boomer. Lol.
Got gud noob
That’s just a stupid ass way of looking at life.
