MGTOW on steroids, I guess.

I think I might need the help or guidance, or testimony, of some of you guys who’ve been through this before though.

All of my friends are cucks. I can’t do it anymore. I thought I could balance it and just laugh at it , but everything that comes out of their mouths is related to tinder or some girl giving them drama, that they’ve known for two weeks. They tell me I’m bitter and going to be alone, and on the other side of the coin butch about any girlfriend problems they have 24/7z

There is no substance. No skills. No books. No creativity. No ambition.

My parents are in the rat race like no ones business and every night (I no longer live with them to be around this) consists of Netflix or scrolling through Facebook and bitching about the news. Their marriage is also on the rocks, go figure. At least they keep its end at bay by taking unnecessary trips out of town every month wasting money that they could put toward a retirement/investment account! (aka no savings, instant gratification lifestyle)

I see my brother subconsciously absorbing their permissive parenting style, and taking in their shit values. I care about him more than anymore but even I am not naive enough to think I can forge his path forward. He has shitty parents and so as a result he does NOTHING but play video games and he is abnormally entitled and self absorbed (even for a teenager.)

I blame myself for surrounding myself with this sort of social circle, so I will take responsibility for exiting it.

I am encompassed by a hive of underachievers and complacent fucks and I cannot stand it anymore because it is holding me down from moving forward and excelling my fitness, my music, my cash flow, and my optimism on life.

The only issue is that I am having a really difficult time just ripping the fucking bandaid off and putting two middle fingers up to it.

Has anyone else been in a similar predicament and what did you do to resolve it? Please and thank you for your help.
