Love help: I don’t think I’ll ever be happy. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

I don’t think I’ll ever be happy.

I’ll always be outside looking in.
I act the wrong way every time and screw things up.
I hate that I’m going bald and it makes me feel old and ugly.
I’ll never be with the girl of my dreams.
I will always struggle financially.
I’m envious of others, and they don’t know how lucky they are.

There’s so many years of sadness and emptiness behind me and in front of me.
I really wish I could die, but I can’t. Is there any way for me to cope?

Yes.
Work out, eat healthy, get some good sleep each night, and join some crazy clubs.
Put yourself out there. Change is scary and good. It’ll help you.

You AREN’T supposed to be like that forever. You shouldn’t be and you don’t have to be. It starts with you. You have the ability to make your life happier, just take action.

Easier said than done VERGE. I do agree we shouldnt be. The thing that gets me there are so many of us miserable, that it cant be just the way we look at things. The world around us has played a hand in it. The girls in school that would flirt with us only to make someone else jealous. The way we were treated in general either through contempt or ignorance by other. Through out the order of our civilization there are those that have, those that want, and those that need, but then you have those that take.

And you have those that wallow in self pity and you have those who get worked up enough to do something with the ****** hand they’ve been dealt.

And I dont disagree, unfortunately some of those that wish to deal with that hand dont always do so in a productive manner. Kids taking guns to school. Ex’s shooting each other. The only point I was trying to make is there is no magic ray of sunshine. Everyday is a struggle. I actually created a persona by the age of 11 that the rest of the world saw. Kept it up though 22yrs of marriage and 2 now young adults, only to bring me close to a breakdown. I own my business and deal with customers all the time, but I still have some moments that are very dark. I am now 50 even having wonderful kids and a wife that would stand beside me. I still dont connect with people.I still feel empty and alone. If it all disappeared tomorrow it would effect me very little. I would have moments but in general it would be just another day.

I know it’s not what you want to hear, but there is no magic fix for this. You have to work to change yourself.

Find something you love and do it, whether it’s art or music or meditation or exercising or anything else.

Start volunteering. You’ll be amazed at how much helping others will help you, and there’s always a need for volunteers.

Make it a point to get out of the house at least once a week and meet new people. There are classes you can take, book clubs, etc. Even just going to a cafe and talking to some people works.

You say you’re envious of others, but I don’t think you realize how privileged you are compared to the rest of the world. The fact that you have a computer to type this on puts you ahead of many, many other people.

As for hair loss, you can go to the doctor and see what s/he recommends. The girl - talk to her. Just start a normal conversation with her, do that for a couple weeks, and see where it goes. Get some help for the financial issues, there’s tons of articles on the internet to help you.

Good luck, I hope it all works out for you.
