Could have saved us all the reading with a simple "I haz a sad."

Moving into an apt in less than 2 weeks.. Brand new jeep.. Good friends (no gf or possible interest) at this time.. All I seem to meet are shitty girls.. I generally have a very positive outlook on life and do my best to have a positive outlook at life
Kinda how my life is, except my new Jeep was wrecked yesterday by my sister when it was under my parents care and was under specific instructions to not let her drive it. It's now the third car of mine that she has wrecked, and needless to say I'm getting pissed when my parents allow her to drive my car without my permission. Fortunately, my parents are completely reimbursing it for me since they did disobey my direct order for leaving the car there, but I'm still pretty pissed about it.

I just feel like I'm not where I should be.. I want more but never seem to get it.. Haven't had a gf in 5 years but it's only because I'm extremely picky on who I date.. I feel like I'm missing out on life
I just imagined life after college would be different.. I'm thinking about picking up a second job to kill time/meet new people.. I've said make small changes in ur life and it will help your situation.. I don't know I've talked to friends and they say they are in the same boat.. I feel like I was ment to do more
A lot of people, myself included, have this mindset. But I can't say this is depression. Maybe it's just me being an optimist, but things tend to get better. You're starting off at the bottom, so who gives a frick? Plus younger chicks are into relatively older men, so you'll get something. Just learn to let go and stop giving a shite. What you're going through isn't depression but a quarter life crisis. Many of us have gone through it. Just pick up new hobbies and join groups outside of work, and this should work itself out.

Let's be real man, that was a lie. You can tell yourself that you are to picky, but you're not. I have hooked up with all kinds of girls, so I am not a good comparison, but I have buddies that only date cool girls that are IRL 9+. They manage to find the girls pretty dam easily, and wouldn't touch anything less.
Hell, my buddy that lives with me hasn't hooked up with a chick in 3 or 4 years and is the EXACT same way as you. I'm dating someone, but I've basically handed him pussy and he won't take it. He/you are just scared of girls. I've brought girls back home specifically for them to hang out, but he just shuts down when that happens. No shame in that, but just be more outgoing and fix it. It is the truth and you know it, so do something about it. Start hanging out with really outgoing people and some of that is bound to rub off on you

Yep. In fact, I'm unfulfilled right now. I'm in a glorified training program bouncing around the country. But when I do get a perminant location, my salary will literally triple, and I'll be able to do just about anything I want. I've been offered territories I know I would be miserable in, so I refused them despite the salary increase. I know that satisfaction is around the corner and I'll be fine. I'm now back in the South and a 2 and a half hour drive from Oxford, and half my family lives close by, so I can't complain now. Gotta look in the long term.

Reading this thread makes me feel like I'm reading my own biography.
Internally I'm down on myself a lot, but like you I have a bright future in my industry, good friends, family, etc. Pretty much everything is in a good place except for the finding the girl. I'm also picky about dating, and the town I live in sucks for singles in their 20s.
You want to complain, but when you see what you have and what others don't, it seems ridiculous. But, then on the other hand, you want that total package life, and you dwell, to the point of obsession sometimes, on what you think is missing... Or at least that's what I do.
It really sounds ridiculous to a ton of people, so I keep it to myself for the most part, but it really will eat you.

When I get depressed I lose a lot of weight and don't feel like doing anything but sleeping just so time passes faster.
I don't think you're quite depressed, but you should try to mix things up some. You're probably just bored with your life.

You do realize there is a difference between who you'd date and who you'd frick? And it's amplified when you start thinking 50 years long term.

You're just in that "in between" time. Are you wanting to get married and start a family? Right after college, we all do the party thing, but once you get married and spit out some kids, your life will have new meaning. Mine did anyway.
Probably looking at what friends are doing instead of enjoying the ride. Go with the flow, we can't control everything. Life is pretty awesome if you just roll with it and stop measuring yourself against everyone else.

You sound a little bit like me. A lot bit like me actually. I just try to keep on keeping on. Whenever I start thinking about shite that gets me in the dumps I consciously stop myself soon into it and focus on something else.
I didn't read the whole thread, just the OP, but I'd guess your blues probably stem from the lady issues. I'll tell you this, picky is a good thing brotha. Take it from the millions of divorced men out there, it's better to be single than with someone that makes you miserable. Basically, don't settle. Hold out for the right girl. Sometimes the right girl comes along and for whatever reason it doesn't work out. Keep on keepin on. There's millions of girls out there, eventually you're bound to bump into another one that you enjoy being around. The odds of that happening decrease astronomically if you settle. Don't miss out on Mrs right because you settled for Mrs wrong. Best of luck homie.
Just read through the thread. Glad other people share these feels
To clarify, I'm a generally happy dude. Life just isn't as fun as it was when I was 18. I think my occasional blues stem a little from nostalgia and a little from not having locked down a cool little fox.

Well if he's into dudes I guess the same advice still applies.

Lettuce be cereal. He can't talk to girls. He needs some guidance from Boat

Depression- when you loose ambition when you have everything. Its the feeling that nothing could make you feel any better.
Life after college, has to be completely different. Everything up until that point was staged for you; education, parties, football games, everyone born around the same time. After that period in your life, you're expected to get along and enjoy life with everone (adults 18+).
In the past it was harder for people to integrate in to society after college, but with social media apps like tinder, eharmony, its hard for people to not hook up. You just have to step out of your comfort zone and take a chance. Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around

What you're describing is existential angst, not depression.

Clinical depression is an imbalance of chemicals in the brain ... simply put. I'm not reading 3 pages to see if anyone already said this. OP does not have clinical depression.
