I guess, I’m in that phase now, I’m in my mid twenties, spent my early twenties exploring different career paths, got interested in tech, spent time learning about tech for the past 5 years, in the last 6 months I’ve quit my job, started a startup, but I still feel empty. The folks who I run this company with aren’t my type of people and I know it’s not going to go far , and that pisses me off, if I wanna go back to my old job, 1. I can’t physically do it because I feel so disconnected from it and secondly there’s less demand for it as opposed to before (because of AI). Tech in general feels boring, also added on top of that, I never went to college, so most of my “Buddies” were made through work and they have scattered all over the world and now are doing different things, and I feel left behind. I only hangout with two friends whose lives are as miserable as mine. I’ve always been a nerd, so talking to women wasn’t the easiest thing to do for me, and the lack of me going to college resulted in a guy who’s been single all his life now I feel like I’ve gotten past the puppy love stage and would never feel the innocence of love ever again (I’ve also seen people and how bad they could be especially women when it comes to relationships) so I don’t think I could be vulnerable to anyone. Bottom line is the things that interested me the most isn’t pushing me forward, I’m now running a startup that’s bound to fail and I don’t have a fail safe, I’ve got zero money, lives with a single disabled mother who’s family I have no connection with and my dad, let’s just say he was never in the picture. So to round it all up, I’m fucked, but I wanna live, and I feel like I have a purpose to fullfil, but I already feel like a 50 y/o man, burnt out, has nothing to live for. Anyone who’s gone through similar shit? I just wanna know if I’m the only one ! submitted by /u/thikkurussi7
