NEW YORK—Saying it was hard not to unfavorably compare himself to his peers, part-time catering assistant Ian Presser, 26, told reporters Thursday that he feels self-conscious after always seeing his friends fail slightly less than him. “When everyone in my social circle is making $1.

50 an hour more than me and lasting six months at their jobs before getting fired, I can’t help feeling like I don’t stack up,” said Presser, adding that his friends’ total ineptitude at maintaining healthy relationships makes him acutely aware of his inability to land a single date. “Am I happy for them? Sure. But it still really stings when I hear that my buddy is pulling in 28 G’s and living in a one-bedroom with only two other roommates.

You can't not win.

ChrisRGun looks a bit like you

I don't know how 26 year-olds manage it today, in all seriousness. Nostalgia colors that period in my life which was more years ago than I want to admit to right now.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

No way that guy is 26.

I thought you were supposed to be satire T__T

Jerma985 that you bud?

Nothing starting doing meth won't fix.

op-ed: create scratch & sniff images; he would be like leather/musky ?

Now that I'm four years older and wiser, I realize they haven't failed less, just differently.

you mean a 26 year old smoker? Walgreens

That’s a rough 26

Funny headline, but this man is clearly close to 40 lol

When minimum effort is no longer enough.

If he’s 26 I’m 14

True friends don’t succeed slightly better and if they did, they never were true friends.

when your closest friend is granted one single small W, which you've never been afforded amongst your endless procession of Ls

I have a dream. I’m saving money for a new Tesla, can you help? Even 0.01$ will help my dream of being a Tesla owner. My BTC wallet: 1NCXpEekdG94BEkRtzJYGRog99czbTEZnM or my PayPal anastasiid Maybe later someone helps you when you need it! Thank you very much!💙

Hang in there, you'll have more opportunities to fail. Again, and again and again and again...

this one hit different 😂😭

Some of y’all judging a 15 years old child is fucking ridiculous! Y’all have no clue what trauma he has experienced throughout his life. Shame you passing judgment instead of offering assistance. My God have some compassion. Horrific. Those poor kids. 意识形态治国是共产党所长,不同于它就贴标签扣帽子打死你,搞臭你孤立你。
