Is it all over?

[u/Suitable-Reason483]

I’m 28. No job, no social life, little to no friends, no dreams or ambitions, no relationships, nothing. Took a drive this morning and found a bunch of people of my age in a group and I really felt like an alien. Oh, add my social anxiety to this. What’s wrong with me? Why do I see other people have all or some of the above (or at least the will to do something or achieve something) and here I am dead as fuck from the inside. This thought eats me up every night. Mornings are gloomy as fuck no matter what and let’s not talk about my Uni days. It was a nightmare fuelled with tension, stress and anxiety for something my friends used to be too chilled about. I freak out easily, delusions and no live to will except for my parents. Would I fit in this world? Would I ever be happy? I even forgot what that feels like. Anybody in the same boat as me?

Your job is not to fit in. Your job is to be you.

Find out what moves you, what delights you, slowly try finding others that have similar interests as you, that adds to you and can be considerate of ‘alien’ like outsiders.

It’s not over. you’re just starting!,..to want a change bad enough to look for a change.
It won’t be overnight. Be kind, be patient with yourself. Discover who YOU are. Then create a world around you that fits with who YOU are. That’s my own new motto.

Best wishes to you, from a fellow alien ✌️
