Hi all, am new to the forum.
Joined up because I've been feeling an increasing sense of hopelessness about the future, and it's getting harder and harder to go through the motions each day. Currently in my last year of uni, and I've really been struggling with the experience of 'doing everything right' but my situation still being shitty. Specifically, I feel disgusted with myself for having never been in a relationship, and it feels like I'll be alone forever because of how that's perceived socially. I almost always stay in my apartment on weekends, and I never really go out/have fun like people my age should, even when I try and reach out to set up something. I don't have anything set up after I graduate either, and I am terrified of becoming a worthless NEET - I would probably CTB to avoid that. What really gets to me is that I have been trying, for years, to make things better: I work out, try in my classes, keep good hygiene etc. but I am still lonely in miserable. At this point, I only still do those things because of momentum, and I am not sure how much longer I can keep it up. People always tell me that "it will get better" but it never does. Every time I've been stupid enough to hope for anything, it's always blown up in my face and left me even more dejected than before. Was wondering if other people have had similar thoughts/experiences.
