When You Feel Like You're Lost In Life

I absolutely do feel like if life was a day I'm on the sunset portion right now. Not just the start of the sunset but deep into the sunset, almost dark. And once it goes dark I will be gone from this world.

My entire life is miserable. I am single and alone. My job is tearing me apart and inflation/COL is killing me as well. I just don't feel like anything good is happening in my life. I'm tried doing dating and women just constantly ghost me even if they do show initial interest.

I am extremely lonely and I really don't feel like anyone would truly be impacted if I were gone. Sure family and some close friends would be devastated but can I really live for them anymore?

I don't want to die but I genuinely don't want to live anymore either. I feel like I'm near the end and I just want the pain to end. Is it so wrong to feel this? Is it so wrong to just want to go to sleep and not wake up?

I'm not sure if any of this makes sense but I figured I would discuss it with some other people. I just feel so lost right now.

Seriously find someone to talk to and get some help. Life is always worth living. Find a hobby that you enjoy and join a local group.

Start volunteering. Service to others is a great way to find fulfillment in ones self.

Um, I hate to be so blunt in a post like this, but those people you mentioned are the only people you should be interested in living for. None of the other people matter.

They're the exact ones you should talk to in times like you're going through. My dad taught me a long time ago in a low point in life where he'd learned some things about my life that I deemed too embarrassing and too prideful to discuss or ask for help, that if you can't lean on family in tough times, who can you lean on?

if you're being honest, and i will trust you are. you need to stop focusing on yourself.

probably the best thing you could do is do something for people less fortunate. i know it sounds cliche, but go volunteer at a homeless shelter or soup kitchen. yeah, some people are entitled, but the ones who are truly grateful will make it more than worth it. take time to really connect with those people. ask them with genuine interest about their lives.

or you could volunteer at a children's hospital. when you see young people fighting for their lives and staying positive, you soon learn that you have no business feeling sorry for yourself.

adopt a dog who needs a home and give it the love that it never had.

in short, do something for somebody else.

If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?

Man, it's tough right now. And I have no idea what you're going through, but you have to hang in there.

If you wanna talk I can message you my email??

Look on the positive things in your life. I know it can be hard when you feel down & out, but they are there. You never know what's around the corner so keep your pecker up, and the thing you're looking for in life will find you. Also it wouldn't hurt to look for God's guidance and put your trust in him. Best of luck to you.

True but I feel like they would be better off without me. And I only have a few friends, never really been good with making friends as an introvert. I feel like if I made a video for each of them that would help them understand.

Quit your job and do something else. Move somewhere different. This is your chance.
