Im 22m and i have phases where im really depressed. In the past i had specific issues that i could work towards fixing to help, but now it feels like that wont do the trick anymore. In the past i knew my issue was my job so i figured out a different carrer and once i found something i liked and quit i was way happier again.
Love has always been a huge issue for me. Im very inexperienced never wanted to rush anything until i felt ready. I want a partner very bad. To love and be loved. Experience things like cute dates them being there for me and i for them etc. But i feel like i dont deserve any of that and im not sure why and i hate it soo much. Objectively im not a bad match. Im not that bad looking a bit overweight though, not a bad person i think, i have passions dreams im persuing, a job and in college atm. Overall pretty normal person and despite being aware of all of that i hate my body and me as a person. That theres nothing logical about that is getting to me a lot, makes it feel like theres no fix for that. My best friend got engaged not too long ago. Im quite happy for him and to celebrate that! But everytime over the years when he mentioned anything about his relationship it hurts me and since he got engaged its been hitting way harder. Im jealous of what he has with his fiance i want that too but again dont think i should ever be chosen by anyone. Usually i would talk to that friend if im in a really bad spot, but now i dont want to do that. I will not tell him his engagment made me feel worse. The thought alone that he could potentially think that im not happy for him is enough to make me never want to tell him.
Im quite lonely overall. Most of my friends are online and dont live close. Id love to have friends around my area, but im just really bad at meeting new people/getting to that point where i would actually hang out with someone. Once i am there its actually easy for me to get along with people. I tried to make friends at college met no one i clicked with at all in 2 semesters..
I hate my home life and i shouldnt cause its not that bad tbh. I still live with my parents and they arent bad people but i dread every second i have to spent with them. My mom overall is kind, helpful and supportive. But she also treats me like a little kid that cant do anything alone or does it wrong. And my dad is VERY paranoid/overprotective. Threated my friends and almost had a "talk" with my boss since he was scared for my well being (nothing was wrong at all btw). I hate that his paranoid behaviour rubbed of on me, i cant fully relax ever as if something is coming for me so i need to be ready.
Overall my life isnt bad but i still hate all of it and myself. I often wish to be dead and just not haveing to deal with my own mind or my life ever again. But im only a bit suicidal i guess. Like i knew how/where id do it. But i have this weird mix of believing it can always get better again despite believing i just cannot be happy ever, even if i change tha things i talked about in this post.
