I want to just delete my Discord, FB, Reddit, Second Life and other social sites so I can just be focused on myself. But I can’t because the guilt of seemingly deserting those I have left, will be hard to deal with.

Own a home, be in a long term relationship, have a career worth a shit.
I’m turning 40, “uneducated” because I never “found myself” and had to support myself right out of highschool. Single for almost a decade. Working a dead end factory job. It’s not happening. :/
I also went right to work after high school. Some of my jobs were dead-end as recently as 2020, but I found better work in which I can flourish. I’m also in a wonderful relationship and got married, in my 40s, to someone I met after a long time alone and a long-term abusive partner before that.
Things can get better.
(I’m a city-dweller who will probably never own a home, though. Fuck real estate prices, but at least my apartment isn’t bad at all.)
good news is plenty of people are educated and single and own homes… and feel the exact same way as you.
I meet them all the time.
I pretty much gave up on dating, “no one” seems to be able to find what they’re looking for and dating
parasitesapps have made the issue 1000000x worse… When your world of potential dates expands dramatically and they’re all a swipe away the dating pool becomes a buffet table and the perfect dish is just one more swipe away… And another swipe… And another swipe… Pass on all these people, the next will be the perfect one… And another swipe…the problem is people have impossible standards, not just for dating, but life in general.
and if you don’t live in that perpetually unhappy head space, they think you’re a loser.
