i feel lost, im 27 with missed up life, i've been suffering from anxiety and depression since high school then when i went to collage i spent 6 years there studying mathematics and then drop out for 2 years where i served in military after that i went back to collage to major in philosophy hoping to find answers to my questions concerning meaning and value of life, the main issue is i don\'t have a life i'm lonely as fuck and work in a shit job with less than minimum wage in my country, i've been reading philosophy and psychology books for the past couple years but i feel like i've wasted my life what should i do. i'm thinking about learning programing or some tech thing hoping i can catch life again in this ai age.
>>34554472i've knowledge with computer architecture and how to program in c and python but haven't done anything with it for years
you will not get rich with tech. learn a trade instead. do your research via chatgpt what is in demand in your country. for example, here in germany, there is a big demand for heat-pump/air-conditioner electricians. search for ways to become independent instead of working for an employer. again, for example, here in germany, some trades need a certification but when hiring someone from overseas, like netherlands or denmark, you don't. as long as you don't have family/kids and are flexible, you are still in a good start position
>>34554472I'm sorta in the same position but I'm just gonna kill myself at some point. It's what I've said was gonna happen since ~3rd grade
>>34554489i live in a third world country where everything is so expensive, to start a business you need a lot of money like a lot to buy even your daily needs so this would be impossible here
there are jeets coming from 2$/h countries and making a living and founding families in yours, with no education. for them, just getting into USA or EU is like a lottery win. so why can't you? with your white skin and native language? Trades, Uber, there are so many opportunities. you just have to get around and keep your eyes open. if your area has no jobs, move.
>>34554491i wan't to kill myself ever my moment, the problem is i know people who already commitd suicide and i know how his effects peoples lives like family and friends i don't want to do this to the people i care about
>>34554504You most likely have no choice but to reach out then. For me, reaching out would mean that I have no chance at an escape so I can never tell another soul, but if you actually want out there's a way for anything I suppose
>>34554472allow me to comiserateim 27 as well, I've been with the same girl wince middle school, but after we realized that niether of us were going to change our mind on the prospect of having children (I want them, she doesn't), we are splitting up. I went to college for 2 years for physics, dropped out mostly due to laziness. I have the experience to work some ok jobs in the city.fucks sake, typing this out makes me feel like I might not be in as bad shape as some of you guys. I'm not terribly socially anxious unless I'm in a bad mood, and me and her are splitting amicably, it's just very sad and I'm lost. My main concern is going to school for an engineering degree and finding a woman to actually build a life with.
