How do I cope with being alone like this? I'm 24, live alone, car, job, in a big city across the country from my family. I have no friends here, and I find I'm too depressed and anti-social to make new ones.
The only regular interactions I have with people are my coworkers, my parents via phone, my long-distances friends via facebook, and sex with girls from dating apps.
I exercise and play rec sports very regularly, and i cut out video games and TV for self improvement and to not get sucked into WoW and netflix. It's the norm for me to spend friday and saturday nights at the gym, reading by myself, or staring at the ceiling in my quiet apartment not knowing what to do with my life. I'll go out to concerts and clubs sometimes (alone) just to get outside and the experiences have all been meh.
I'm too scarred from losing friends and relationships over and over again (i've relocated a bunch in my life) to form any new ones only for people to move somewhere else, get married, or whatever and leave me behind. I'm antisocial because after dealing with shit from "acquaintances" I've cut a bunch of people out of my life all together and only make an effort to contact people who have proven to me that they value my prescence and what i have to say- they can be counted on literally one hand.
I've come to accept that I'm probably going to live the rest of my like this, alone, maintaining my life from a fucking iphone always wishing for something greater, to not push papers in khakis 50+ hours a week.
Is this what "adulthood" is supposed to be?
29 year old anon here. Your friends are about to get boring as fuck once you hit 25 anyways. I live a life like Mel Gibson from Lethal Weapon, own a small mobile house close to the beach, no debt but don't own much more than that and my car. About half of the year I'm a protective security specialist in Jamaica and Dominican Republic, and in the states I blow my cash on frivolous things and live like a degenerate. It's an age and stage thing, I wish I could say it gets better but honestly it's all down hill, all people care about despite what they say is their family's. Start your own, or join the fuckin Marines. Pic related.
