Work, Relatable and Awkward: Alexa, play "Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel

Alexa, play "Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel

Today, I've come to terms that I'm only living to work. I'm going to be 25, no friends, never had any experience with women. Been trying all year to meet someone, hasn't worked out at all. Dead end job, school did nothing for me. I literally just exist to work, and have no happy memories at all. I give up. FML

Same thing different taste

No friends, no problems

Today, I realized the only things I do are work and sleep. My only friends are coworkers who I make small talk with. I live alone so I’ve got nothing there either. I can’t remember the last time I felt happy, or spoke to someone. Everyday is just a blur. I have no hobbies, no goals. Getting older is so fun, right? FML

Relatable

Today, I turned 25. I'm single, still living at home and doing an unpaid internship in an industry I have no interest in, because it was the only accepted application after 6 months of unemployment. The daily 45-minute drive means I'm losing money every week for being "employed" with a PhD. FML

So young, so jaded

Today, like every day, I scrolled through my social media feeds, seeing happy couples, people buying houses and landing their dream jobs. I, on the other hand, am a single 23 year-old man in a dead end job, who still lives with his parents. FML

Monster Mash

Today, I realized I'm a failure as a man. It's been 17 years since a woman even touched me. I grew up fatherless, have completely lost hope for any chance of a wife or kids. I'm 35 and never been in a relationship. I'm a complete failure because of all this, and have become a monster. FML

Today, I've been stuck in a minimum wage job since I was 15. I'm now 22 and I have no idea where I'm going in life. FML

No thanks left to give

Today, I've been job searching desperately for years. I'm always either rejected or the places just do not contact me, or they are too far away. No license and no cell service. Not even a Thanksgiving meal this year. I wanna give up. FML

Today, I saw yet another dear friend from uni get married, living the good life in their new home. Here am I in my 30s, with no love life, and feeling like that's never going to be for me. FML

My so-called life

By dan - 25/04/2024 15:00 - United States

Today, in order to barely survive, I have to work two jobs that kill all my time. As a kid and teenager, my parents were strict to the bone, and I was bullied by my peers. I’m 25, single all my life. I left home at 18, but I’ve had no choice but to live by other people’s rules my whole life. FML

Life choices

By Anonymous - 08/04/2023 21:00 - Ireland - Waterford

Today, I’m 27 with no friends and I’ve never had a boyfriend. I’m socially awkward, and the idea of meeting people even in passing gives me panic attacks. I’ve been in treatment for years and no luck. All I can manage to do is work and sleep. I think it’s time to give up completely and just adopt a bunch of dogs. FML

Hi, I have went through the same phase! Education was finished, Job found and then what. Out of boredom I joined the voluntary fire brigade and a local sports group. A small kid once said, love is like a fart: If you push it too hard, only shit will come out. So, you are 25, you have your life a head of you! We are in a pandemic, but there are people who had outlived the second world war. So the pandemic will pass, one do not know when. Hang in there! Good luck and BR

25 is young. Pick a hobby, do what you like. Let people find you.

Join the military and change your life

that is what I did at 19. I am now 57 and fully retired. the military set me on a path that allowed me to focus on goals, and even helped me realize how much I "needed to grow up" from the kid I was.

Keep working hard, things will fall in place. Women like stability and dedication.

Look into DBT therapy, and if you're able to go, then go. Was in a similar situation and it's changed my life. Wishing you the best 💜

Woah, back up. You’re 25 for Christ’s sake. Get screened for depression. Please your life is ahead of you and it will get better. I promise.

So what's something you always wanted to do as a kid you could never afford to do? I imagine you've got money now--go do it! Horse riding, learning to kayak... If you don't have anything to do, you have a lot of spare time and money. Go find something fun! Romance is not the only thing out there, you know.
