26 M here Not sure if this is true depression, or just stress from a life of crappy circumstances So where to start....I've always had social issues(aspergers?) since I was a kid. Went through bullying growing up, hardly any friends, lunch table by myself, exe.....basically, the definition of hell. I was always told things would get better.......what a joke! As a 26 year old now, I've watched all my "friends" have relationship after relationship, social groups, get married, and here I am, alone, with no relationship, and as they have moved on(I question how many of them were my friends in the first place), hardly any friends either. Pleople tell me I'm lucky because I have my own house, have a nice car(I don't even care about that stuff anymore). I just quit my job a week ago, because I hated it, and my motivation has been getting lower and lower because honestly, not having meaningful social connections, or a gf, I don't have anything to even keep me motivated the way others I see do. I've managed to keep going in the past thinking maybe one day things old get better, but I am about out of hope. Before anyone says(hit the gym, online dating, exc....I have tried that stuff, and it doesn't lead to anything, which makes me feel even worse. If I got paid minimum wagefor all the time I've spent trying online dating/going out of my way to make social connections(unsuccessfully), I'd probably have a small fortune. So at this point, my question is, I need some ideas to really true things around, because I'm at a point where I'm over it. I've even found myself drinking ALOT more lately by myself because I just can't stand how bad this feels. When I talk to my parents about this( really the only people who I have to talk to), they dont take me seriously, and think this is just a faze.....yea....one that has lasted as long as I can remember, and only getting worse Should I move to the other side of the world? Sell my house and get roommates? Move to a different state? Need Advice Bad.
