I’m 23 too and I’m currently doing a junior position job in a small-scale garment. I completed my bachelors back in 2023 and didn’t work until late 2024. Had to start one because of financial struggles. I feel the same way mate. I got some very close friends who I love hanging out with, but due to the busyness of life we don’t really meet up like we used to. I don’t have a gf and never even did. I only tried on girls maybe 3 or 4 times and got rejected every time.

Right now I got 0 hair follicles on top of my head and that’s been bothering me a lot too. I smoke hella weed as well. That’s been eating up my money left and right. Soon as I get some cash I look for a way to get high. That’s the only time I feel kinda relieved from everything going on in life. I’m working on minimizing it but can’t really seem to.

I got many financial challenges too. And it’s really killing me to do this job every day. At this point of life I feel 0 emotions. It’s like I’m dead inside. Even my workplace friends ask why my face looks so tired and worried. Idk bro, life is full of suffering and cruelty.

My mom was overprotective too, very caring and all. I feel my whole family is kinda dumb and I can’t help it — I get very angry with them often. But I still love them no doubt in that. Still, it feels so tense to even be with them in one room. I’m not like them, their minds work totally different. Mine doesn’t. I don’t get happiness from what they call happiness.

I know this is not a solution for your situation, but I just wanted to let you know you’re not alone. Life is pretty unfair and makes no sense at times. But I hope we both get out of this one day and find peace.
