Is my life pointless?

I have extreme OCD, nervous tics in my body and facial expressions and eye contact, I'm shy, I've had depression and anxiety for quite some time, I'm physically weaker than most men and have a lot of food intolerances.

I don't seem to have achieved anything in 32 years. I've tried making friends and studying and failed consistently at both due to all of the aforementioned.

My dad and most my siblings don't like me. I've shown interest in dozens of women over the years and never had a reciprocal interest.

My only close friend who lives near me is my mother. What are people's thoughts? Is a life like this pointless?

  • No life is pointless, everyone is here for a reason. As long as you try live a decent life i.e. help others out, acts of random kindness. It is only natural to experience depression and anxiety from time to time. I myself have, and still do, experience both. I am currently unemployed, and a lot of the time I also feel depressed and anxious. I have, pretty much, no friends or a social life, nor have I ever had a girlfriend (Or had my first kiss). I keep thinking to myself "Everything will work out...eventually". My Mum is a huge believer in fate, and I am, sometimes, inclined to think like that. "If it's meant to happen, it will". I do hope that this helps!
