I(25M) have had this dreaded feeling for months on end at this point and it never goes away. I feel empty inside, almost dead. I have a great paying job with amazing benefits that I worked 5 years to finally land. I have a girlfriend(25F) whom I share an apartment with. I don’t have any close friends that live near me anymore, that sense of “community” is long gone. I find that during week when I’m working, going to the gym, playing video games, it all goes away and I don’t feel it. But on the weekends when I have the free time to sit around and think, it just hits me and it crushes my spirit. I complain about it to my girlfriend but she isn’t really sure how to help because she enjoys peace, and being alone. I don’t know how to help/fix it. I feel broken inside. I’m in the process of trying to buy us a home which will temporarily make the unhappiness go away, but deep down when I close my eyes at night I know I’m just not happy with my life. It’s like an aching loneliness that never goes away. I feel bad because I feel as if I place the blame on her for us not having friends/etc but I’ve never put any work in to find any. I spend most of my free time just playing WoW alone on my pc. I don’t really enjoy that it just helps ignore these feelings. How the hell do I fix this? submitted by /u/doobylive
