Current Events > Imagine owning a home, your dream car, and still being sad.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I don't have to imagine.

You should be talking to auditoriums full of school kids about this.

Assuming you're not a gimmick account, you might want to consider therapy or psychiatry. What do you feel is missing from your life?

If you have your dream car and house, you don't have the right ones haha

A loving family.

Its not what you like, its what youre like as a person.

All that stuff is pipe dreams, since life isn't Immortal

Yay you got everything...

Father Time never fails, Life can end at any moment of the week

Yeah its a shame. Ive had my share of girlfriends but its not something you can really work toward the way you can a job or whatever, it just happens when the circumstances align and theres not really a blueprint for love. Like even if I live another 40 years I could never have a partner again. Or I could chance upon my soulmate next week, who knows.

COVID also complicates things re: meeting people.

Well, at least I have a date lined up. My friend's girlfriend set me up with her friend.

Rich people kill themselves as well as poor people. They are not immine to feelings.

I'm just lonely.

I learned the hard way that looking externally (to other people) as a means of experiencing fulfillment, acceptance and love never ends up how you want it to. I've never had any semblance of a proper family, and any friends. As you can imagine, this resulted in many long-term emotional and psychological issues that at one point, I foolishly believed could maybe be alleviated if I "found someone".

I ended up wasting a good chunk of my twenties trapped in an abusive relationship with someone who had the same mentality. My own mental health is now at rock bottom, and I've come to terms with the fact that I'm probably too anxious and scared to function in any kind of social dynamic.

If there's one thing I wish I could do, it'd be to turn back time and focus on myself, rather than trying to find happiness from others. You need to find that happiness and positivity from within. It's very much possible. For the love of God, don't be like me and foolishly make things worse.

I was in an abusive relationship myself for a year. But now you're finding happiness within, right?

I mean having the basic necessities to survive (shelter, food etc and an income that pays the bills) is important. But you don't need a dream home.

Suffering from mental and physically illnesses, loneliness will/can make you delressed

You can have every material object in the world and be depressed. Relationships with others after basic survive needs are met, matter the most. Then personal goals.

I'm kinda in a similar situation, decent paying job, lots of savings, tall and in shape with no problems getting dates and I'm still unhappy cause I always feel like I'm not good enough and self sabotage whatever good thing I got going.

I think everyone is struggling with something even if they appear ok.
