I feel I've failed at almost everything

Roswell

I'm 33, I have no friends and this has been so for about 10 years, have never had a long term girlriend (only 3 short term ones, in other words barely proper girlfriends at all) and each career goal I had I didn't reach due to not being able to do so.

In social groups, pubs, on dating websites, Twitter, Facebook I get ignored more than other people, I'm apparently less funny or interesting. Except for my mum most my family patronise me and don't value any of my opinions even when I spend hours researching them.

Seems I have not succeeded at much of anything. I feel a bit depressed about it tonight. That's all.

  • Hi Roswell, sorry to read this.  I think some of your posts on this site are really good! you have a kind way with people and you tackled some difficult conversations. I felt less lonely because of it. I wish i had given you feedback sooner. <slaps back of own hand>

    Later today i have been invited for an isolation-break with a colleague.  We will meet outdoors and get takeaway coffee wearing gloves. We will go for a walk by the river and stay 2 metres from each other and other people.  Fine, but i have been worrying all night : what will i say when we meet? how will it finish? when will i know i have out-stayed my welcome?. I studied the route on google maps. And as a result the amount of work i got done was very poor so I will have to catch up a bit at the weekend. Then i ask myself if it is worth it?   But like yoda says: either do or don't. there is no try.  So i will try...<slaps hand again> ...I will do it.   

    Don't give up!

    sounds just like me, but you may find a place you fit - either with a job, a hobby or relationship.  Meantime ? try antidepressants and keep active, lifestyle good thinking stuff
