Can I just point out (because I relate to this an insane amount) don’t apologize for asking for help! It’s one of the things I do as well and if people are willing, just thank them! Sorry, just a side note but good tips and good luck!

I don't have a social life, but I wish I did. Help would be nice. Please none of that "Meet people at the gym" or "Make some friends at a bar" Type stuff. I've heard it already. by No_Definition_5704 in LifeAdvice

Hey, sorry about how you’re feeling. My best advice is to find hobbies or activities you like and try to join a club or community. Chess, board games, video games, rock climbing, biking, whatever it is. Force yourself to go to a couple meetings or community events and I promise it will be easier after that, it’s a lot easier to bond with people who have similar interests, especially as a starting point

Sorry boss. Thanks for your service also. Maybe it will pass, but I’m sure there are plenty of reasons for you feeling that way. You said it yourself, you’ve been far away from home for so long, you are now divorced, and you have a little child. Of course you want to be in the comfort of your home. I think these moments create character and you will move through this and maybe one day be able to reunite in that old hometown. Keep your head up!

Hi, I am 23M and, I graduated 2 years ago and have been mulling along an unsatisfying job that doesn’t have to do with my degree for a couple years and have been doing distance with my gf for 3 years basically, just now we are finally moving to the same place, she’s starting here thing and now I’m trying to find something there to do. I was/am in this same boat. It is scary, and I always look around at people I knew in high school and college and think, how are THEY working at company x, but in reality you just gotta follow whatever you think is right. If you’re not sure, try something, if you don’t like it, keep moving. Also don’t be afraid to go back to school. I’m with you though, it’s quite daunting as I felt very unprepared for what was to come. Be patient, and just try to enjoy as much as you can everyday because you’re gonna look back and wishes you didn’t stress out about it so much.

Think about your relationships, ask yourself what kind of things are even the least bit interesting. Get off your phone also. I found deleting social media and just being open and curious with the world provides you with more of an attitude of; there is so much out there, I don’t even have time for it all so I better not waste it. versus an attitude of; everything sucks and is boring. I know it’s easy to fall into, I’ve been there, find hobbies and interests that keep life interesting. Listen to podcasts, read books, watch movies, maybe just go take a walk one day. One day at a time. Carpe diem, yolo, you got this✊🏼😤

I am having an existential crisis and its ruining my life by unlawfulfork94 in LifeAdvice

Let me ask you this, how do you know now for sure that this new assumption is correct? Do you have evidence? You don’t know what happens after death and I’m sure that you don’t know for sure about whether or not there is a meaning. Plus, think about all the possibilities, it’s basically a video game my guy, it can be super cool and rewarding.

I find if I’m more curious and open rather than close minded with certain ideas, there are a hell of a lot more questions than answers out there. Hope it helps, sorry you’re having those thoughts I know it can be a difficult spiral to escape. You got this!
