This is an emotional dump rn. It may be lack of social interaction but I'm really frustrated lately. I feel like I lost last 2.5 years of my life with ongoing lockdowns and job instability in the first half of the pandemic. I was 28 turing 31. I get good dates but -ve self talk
Inflation is high & coming from a low income family where you're supposed to help your parents is driving me nuts. Although I make a good salary, after rent, car insurance, there isn't much left (unfav currency exchange)

You’re not alone, OP! One thing I’ve learned in recent years is that when I open up to trusted friends, I realize I’m not as alone as I feel. Also, it’s okay to ask for help, whether that’s with sourcing new jobs or getting invited to social activities — don’t be too harsh on yourself, and don’t forget to take care of yourself first
