I'm stuck in a rut

Deleted user
20 days ago

I'm a 35 year old guy who is still stuck living off his birth family, currently no job so I'm stuck at home in an isolated neighbourhood and no friends or lovers so I only go out for errands.  If I didn't have to travel several miles home and back I would spend my days at a gym or library (I don't drive so I walk across hills and take buses.)

I'm the only one of my siblings who doesn't have a social life or an occupation to get me out of the house and it fucking sucks.  I'm considering turning to Hinge or Badoo or some other social app to fill the gaping void.  FML  :(
