View submission: I don’t want to live anymore
I can relate to much of this- 40F I have a good relationship with my parents and 1 close friend at this stage. I’ve always been extremely avoidant, passive, like numbing myself (I’m 6.5 years sober now). Honestly I’ve never had a strong desire for social connection so there’s that but I feel the pressure from comparing myself to others. However, ultimately it’s your life. If you want certain things yes you have to make them happen. If you don’t want certain things, like children for example- that’s OK! But the big thing in life is taking joy in the small every day things. I enjoy playing video games, for example. I work a lot. Some stuff I don’t like doing like exercising but I feel better after I do it and it makes the whole day better so I try and focus on that fact to get through the unpleasant period of actually doing it.

This is very relatable for me, and it's nice not to be alone out here in that. Thanks for your post!
