I'm 27 years old and I have no friends and no girlfriend.

man I can really relate to all of this, I am practially the same.

>I wasn't able to have this kind of life due to a lifelong battle with mental illness
What attempts have you made to deal with this?

Is mental illness an acceptable reason to kill myself? I think normies will understand.

Put yourself in situations to meet people, join a hobby club of something your interested in, reconnect with old friends you havent seen in a while, go on vacation or something if you can afford it, kontiki tours are guaranteed to make you some friends as long as you're not a complete weirdo. Most people love making new friends and socializing. Your issue is that you have a set routine that leaves no room to meet anyone you might find interesting, life isn't going to just happen to you, you need to make some efforts. You're still young, friends, love and life are amazing and worth working towards and finding, don't give up.

I'm trying to. I meet people all the time as a matter of fact. But, it's very superficial and hollow. I don't feel like I relate to anyone.

I know it's stupid but I'm sort of anti-social and yet very lonely at the same time. Actually if I just had a girlfriend and hung out with her so that I wouldn't have to be alone that would be enough human interaction for me. But I really have no control over that, my longest relationship with a girl lasted like 3 months. Girls don't really like me generally.

If you want your life to improve, stop going on /r9k/. That place is poison for your mind.

>superficial and hollow

Had this feeling when I started trying to make friends in my 20s. It's partially your mindset but you also have to think about this. How are you supposed to feel like there's any depth to your interactions, a connection, or get any sort of joy out of the time spent around somebody without really knowing them? Just meeting people and discussing things isn't enough. Go get a beer, hang out at their place, see who they really are.

I just found dudes in my city that played fighting games. I was shy at first and with a lot of them I initially thought 'wow this guy is a dick or 'yeah, I don't like him' but after we all started hanging out that changed. It stopped feeling 'hollow' once I got to know everybody and we had our own inside jokes, etc.

You have options here. I'd put suicide very far down on that list since it's very stupid.
