What's the purpose of life or areson to live for a loser?
28, not suicidal just yet but not sure what I am even living for. I understand there's hope to not be a loser eventually that forces many to live but that also fades away with time.
So I don't have any friends, tried a lot but ended up remaining the stereotypical friend of everyone is friend of no one. Don't have love and at this age, with my social skills and face don't have any chance at that. Arranged marriages being what they are, it's a gamble not worth It for me.
I am in a deadend govt job and too old to switch career or get a new job in different sector, which pays better or has higher quality work. Too old to get further education, and basically a deadend in terms of what my life can be. I didn't peak I just hit my ceiling, due to my bad decisions yes, but you can't change the past.
There might be one in a million cases who get out of this rut and succeed but as someone who could not do stuff basically everyone succeeds at getting a gf, making friends, having a social life, hoping I could amount to something feels delusional.
So that brings to the question: when my life is basically decided for me at 28, what exactly am I supposed to live for? If it's hope, how long do you keep hoping, like I keep hope till 30 or 32 what then?
