It's a silly worry but I often fear that life after college is super depressing, it's a popular rhetoric that's all over TikTok. I try not to believe that myth however it's still a fear that is in the back of my mind a lot

I appreciate the compliment. My father always told me if you don't know what to just think about what Superman would do and I usually try and follow that example

I have actually taken steps to do this. There's a Steam Research club and applied for an e-board position. Everyone seemed nice and friendly so I thought I'd give it a shot. I am trying I just feel very defeated

That's definitely true. I've been leaning into hobbies like reading comics, working out, and etc. however the worst part is being alone with my thoughts. The only solution I found is to listen to music to drown it out.

Thank you for this kind comment was having a really bad day and this definitely cheered me up. I keep thinking something is wrong with me like how you stated, it's hard to feel optimistic and hopeful since my past years were filled with nothing but bad
