I've never felt so miserable, lonely and singe as a 28M virgin
Honestly when I was 18-19 the year was 2016, I knew I wanted to get my bachelors and masters degree and I use to go on late night walks for miles thinking about how amazing my life would be in 10 years, I was about to enter my first year of university and I was so excited for this new chapter and I would think about how successful I would be, how people would look at me for inspiration.
However now almost 10 years later my life has never more miserable and I've never been more lonelier. I did end up getting my bachelors and masters in computer science which I didn't think was possible even for someone like me, and also got a 6 figure job however I realized how much has changed in this world since those days 10 years ago. First and most certain is that university wasn't easy, it was diffcult and just stressful but I pushed because I knew one day I would be happy and successful, it ruined my mental health but therapy helped me a lot. However now its 2025, and people don't value education anymore, they look at me and just laugh at the fact I wasted all my time focusing on dating when it was completely useless. Keep in mind my education was my life, I am not smart in any means, I legit have like 10 brain cells in my brain. No dating, no partying, barely any friends and now I'm walking red flag.
This isn't the life I want nor dreamt of, I feel like this is a nightmare, people call me ugly and say horrible things about me, and the issue is that these people are better than me and I can't compete with them. I'm more lonelier than ever, I live alone in my condo, cook and clean alone and travel all by myself. I really hope one day someone just loves me for me and just have my own family and have the dream ever since I was a kid and that was to be a father.
@diplomaticBirch7532 I'm really sorry you're feeling this way. It sounds like you've worked incredibly hard to build a life for yourself, but the loneliness is weighing heavy. Your worth isn't defined by your relationship status or by what others think. You’ve achieved so much. I know it feels discouraging right now, but you’re not a "walking red flag", you’re just someone who wants love and connection, like everyone else. Don’t lose hope. Keep going. 💙
