Why do I still feel unhappy after changing my life?
So about a year ago I was kinda depressed: After high school I immediately went to college, moving away from my family etc. In my first semester I was just focused on grades, hustling and self improvement and ignored socialising etc. I mean I still had friends (around 3 real friends) but they were also pretty far from home so I didn´t see them as often. And I am also studying a degree in uni which will bring me good money if I continue this, but I didn´t really know if that job (m&a lawyer) would make me happy, but I have very good grades so I continued.
Fast foward; I realized ignoring my social needs is not it and decided to get friends - I ended up making so many friends (not club friends); which also work out, have the same mindest, want to be business owners. I also joined uni clubs etc. We learn together, go hiking, play tennis, hit the gym and really have like deep conversations etc - out of 7 days a week I am at least 5 days with friends doing sth (not the whole day but at least like 2-3/4 hours). Side note: I dont have a signficant other, Im just focusing on myself (And I dont want to pursue a relationship before reaching my goals)
So basically: I have very good grades in a degree which would make me more that 6 figures for sure (but pretty boring); I hit the gym; I have lots of friends (and keep making more); I sleep well; eat healthy but I still feel unhappy? Im trying to stay off social media and I only use it to stay in touch with friends. Is this life? Pls can someone help me?
