My life is fucked. What is the point anymore?

[Inthecraphole]

I was laid off from my job today.
I am 27 and never had a real girlfriend. I am pretty much invisible to women.
I am short in height at 5 feet 6 inches.
I am average at best in terms of looks.
I am socially inept and introverted for the most part.
I barely have any friends.
Meanwhile, I watch all my friends get married and have kids.
I only want a woman where we can be each other's first loves and first relationship, which may not ever happen. I may end up alone.
I cannot stand the thought of another guy being intimate with a woman, especially when they were young and her being in love with him.
I am screwed. I only live for my parents. I have nothing else to live for.

When I say "most of my friends" I mean people I have known over the years and peers I have looked up from before.

In life some people have a lot on their plate & some people have a buffet & as for you my friend you are having a snack & all I can say is that better days will come.
As for recently losing your job it saddens me to hear that & unfortunately nowadays people losing their jobs is common & all I can say is that you are not alone dude.

For starters work on turning your frown upside down & after that & within the next few days being that you were laid off from your job file for unemployment assistance if you are able to do so. In addition to filling clean yourself up, get off your ass & go for a drive. On your drive your agenda is to visit at least three or four companies or industries in your area or out of your area & talk to Human Resources in those companies. Hello myself is yada yada yada I was recently laid off from my company & I want to talk to you today to see if your company was hiring or if you know of any other companies that are hiring outstanding individuals such as myself.

As for your height I always say if you want to look skinny hangout with fat people & if you want to look tall hangout with short people.

As for your friends getting married & having kids good for them & there is nothing in the rule book that says you have to get married & have kids in the first place.

As for not having a girlfriend their are a lot of people without girlfriends out there & for the time being concentrate on finding a job & hump your fist for the time being & who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Here is a song to make you smile.

Ok first of all, you think having a Girlfriend or a Wife in 2022 will make you happy is a 100% LIE. I have been steamrolled by women so many times in a such a cruel way, it is not even funny. These days, I am a proud member of a M. G. T. O. W. I get it, you are a guy and you want to have not only an emotional attachment, but Sex, Lots of Sex, but let me tell you, having sex with a girl who is counting seconds for you to finish your bed session, is an insane both mental/emotional and physical turn off where you simply don't even want to bed her anymore. Plus, while you are with a girl who would temporary open her legs for you, she will be hard at work vacuuming your wallet, credit card and bank account dry, leaving you in a situation that you cannot even physically comprehend. You want to get married? which will lead to kids? Buddy, you have no idea what you are signing yourself up for. Raising kids are BEYOND difficult and the way this world is (cruel, selfish, greedy, corrupt and evil. Driven by nothing but profits, pain, death, torture and misery) it is not worth even a little to bring an innocent soul from heaven into this hell world. have a strong feeling you know exactly what I am talking about. Whatever woman or a girl you are imagining in your mind, that supposedly will make your life a living Paradise, Does Not Exist. It took me almost 10 years to realize that, try to beat my record and do it in couple months. If I were you, I would fully concentrate on myself ONLY. First, you need a good paying job, so you can feed your hobbies and your interests whatever they might be, now THAT will make you truly happy.

Don't forget to add to your list that you lack confidence and are a very negative person.

Try to be more positive, there is also millions of open jobs out there right now, might have to change careers to something different but you should be able to find another job in less than a week. My company alone has a 100+ open jobs.

With your dating choices you do have a very small pool of potential choices, good luck with that, you may have to be willing to expand your pool of potentials, or else choose to be single your whole life.

Please don't make your height a big issue. I am 5'2" and have dated a guy that was 5'5" and we were fine together. There was a question on here yesterday about dating short women 5'2". Most of the answers said that's the height they prefer.

Life could always be more challenging for you, just remember that.
You could get into a car accident tomorrow and be crippled. Then you would be thinking back to when not having a girlfriend seemed like a big deal.
My point is that you need to understand that you have options, and at least some blessings that you could use to make a life fun.
You think your life is fucked, but in reality you haven't really been hopeless to know what that is. Look at the cup as half full, count your blessings and do the best you can with what you have to work with.
I know it sounds cliche, but in this case it's really the honest truth.
You can get a better life or sit, self-destruct and make it worse, your choice.

You should go to therapy. This hang up you have with "I only want a woman where we can be each other's first loves and first relationship" is a block to a healthy relationship. If you expect to have a bad day, every day will be bad, no matter what happens.

[nawtee_me]

there are so many jobs out there right now. Don't look at it as being laid off from work, look at it as being allowed a better job then the one you had. Many people work at jobs they do not like and wish they had a different one. Go for it...

You mean to say, that life has (or at least should have) a purpose?
It never had.
If you don't own up to it, you'll keep getting what you're getting. Most of us are busy making a living out from paycheck to paycheck for 40 years long and then we die. You and I are no exceptions to this.

Well, I'm a father of two kids, and if I heard one of them saying I live for my parents it'd make not my day but my entire life. Having said that, I'd try to help him/her get on their feet and find something that makes them feel successful, to find a passion. You're young, failure is just part of life, believe me I've failed a few times and got up again, you will too, just focus and find your passion.

It's not like your a shoe saleman
And scored 4 touchdowns in a single game in high school
Just read the bible and pray

No one said life is easy. Find a niche. Some of us are jealous that you’re able bodied. At least you have your health. I’d trade you my height for that. Cheer up, Bud.

[Somegirl678]

well if you look at your life negatively its always gonna be negative.

Damn… just sell your motor home and invest in yourself

Meaning is a jumper you have to knit yourself, hope you choose something nice

[CarolineW]

I'd say it's not looking good

[jahaims]

Are you a troll or retarded?

[sage2021]

@jahaims next time don't answer someone's question with the stupid answer you wrote! And no one should use the word retarded anymore because it is not nice. Some people have legit mental health problems that they are born with.
What's your life like? Humm?

[jahaims]

I will use any words I want. You assume I care about your feelings

[petitnuage]

Hang on. Ask for help. You are beautiful
