This actually used to happen when I was younger. I miss having friends and being able to just hang out in our free time. I miss having some usable amount of free time. Adult life sucks and sometimes I just feel like I want to jump of the Balcony and end it all since I'll never get the good times back and I'll never have anymore in the future.

Sorry you’re feeling like this mate, hope you catch a break soon. Wish I could go back to my late twenties too sometimes.

Sucks to think about, especially since relative to the past we are in the most prosperous times, but people used to be happier in generations prior because they had cheap third places to go to, had a purpose and community.

And now our lives are surrounded by substitute and vicarious experiences that will never afford us true fulfillment. And like a drug, it saps us of the motivation to actually change any of it.

Convenience at an all time high, wealth inequality at astronomical levels.

Times are different, complaints are valid

Fight for the future you want everyone to have
