So tired of the loss, the struggle, the loneliness, the always giving, never getting. I'm so very, very tired.

Family members always asking for me to do something for them but never lift a finger to help. Work putting me through hell but no compensation. Giving my all to work and family with no help in return.

I always thought making my hobbies more interesting would make people be interested in me but all I get is "Oh cool...anyways-" when I show them the video game I made. When I tell them the book I wrote. When I show them a painting I made. I get ghosted when I try to talk to people I meet. They say the only way to cure loneliness is by yourself but that's a load of bullshit. I can only say I have one friend who I sometimes play games with and talk over discord. I've met people but I'm always to initiate conversation, to invite them to do something. Recently, I've met people who seemed interested in the work I do and requested my contact info. But yet, my messages remain empty.

I hear of people I know in my life traveling, winning big amounts of money, getting married, having kids, getting promoted. Me? A virgin with a bachelor's, in their 30s, living with their parents, stuck in a job for 2 years that still considers me a trainee, and posting a vent online because no one in my life gives a shit about how I'm feeling.

I'm so very tired, boss.

Hey don’t know how old you are but you sound like me a couple of decades ago.

If you don’t want advice, ignore the rest of this, good luck and hope things get better.

You’re not me and may not be what you need. I didn’t really start getting better/healthy until I started setting boundaries. if you’re interested in listening to some advice do this: Go talk to a therapist and the first thing you should say is you need help setting boundaries.

After boundaries, I focused on being nice to myself. I am doing my best. Stop thinking everyone else has it figured out, they don’t. Hell, I don’t. Still learning.

Comparison is the thief of joy. Live in the now. There’s nothing else. Again, be nice to yourself.

Oh and multivitamins, vitamin D and stay hydrated. That’s all i got. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ good luck.

Happy to DM if you just want someone to listen. I don’t know anything except what worked somewhat for me. I still have my shit days.
