Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything?
@eylah , that sounds really, really intense and overwhelming. We're here for you, and you're welcome here exactly how you're feeling. I wonder if you've noticed anything in particular that's brought on this strong wave?
I hear that you can't be bothered right now, and it sounds like you might be very tired.
I hope you can go gently with yourself today and find some little pockets of comfort. I will share a little meditation here below if helpful at all:

Re: I failed in life
@bignosegirly0 comparison is the thief of joy, everyone is at different points of their life, just because one person may be succeeding doesn't make you a failure and doesn't mean that they're not struggling in any other aspect, that girl who had a side job as a dance teacher has struggled in some point of her life, everyone struggles and I'm not saying this to undermine your struggle but that we are all on our own journey and that some people's struggles are more visible than others, try not to undermine and put yourself below others, just because they're succeeding with a job or on social media, it doesn't make them superior to you.
Also as someone else who struggles horribly with a social life, where I struggle to even interact with relatives and immediate family, I totally get you, but as you've mentioned social media, try remember that people post and showcase their best side on social media and so with struggles, they rarely showcase it, it's often seen as taboo in a way, so try remember that when looking at other coworkers on social media.
What I would recommend is writing down your thoughts if that helps, that might get some weight off your shoulder.
And it's never too late to achieve your dream job, many successful people started late, 30, 40 and even 50+
And in terms of finding a partner, and even with social life, try be softer on yourself, you're being too hard on yourself which in turn causes doubt, try be more gentle with yourself.
Like you I also struggled so heavily with little to mo interest in previous hobbies, what I would recommend is trying like 2-5 minutes as a starter, you'll probably stop soon after but at least you can say you tried.
Also the fact that you even have a job is amazing, just because it's not your dream job doesn't mean it's a failure, you have something going on.
Also everyone's idea of success is different, nowadays success is determined by wealth and numbers, but try find satisfaction in the little things and focus on yourself and remember to slow down, life isn't meant to be rushed.
Hope this helps and apologies if this doesn't,sorry for it being so long.
