Lol you are cribbing about living with your parents, for some it is still a dream.

I hope you learn to understand other's perspectives in life.

Same here buddy! Corporate is just another door to hell if the management is sick.

I had a typically similar situation initially and hence I started living alone and preparing for CAT.

I'm 25 and it's fuking lonely on the weekends. I stopped initiating meetups, afraid they might be busy, now I spend the weekends alone in my room. I live with my family, but now l'm fuking fed up of living in the same house as them. They don't understand anything, just act and talk as if they know everything about me. I don't have enough money to live with other people on rent, nor I am able to find a job in another city. I hate myself and my fuking life. I wish I could do something other than shouting whenever my parents all to me.

Sometimes what I think about the EY employee who died, she is lucky she's in a better place now.

Loneliness

Loneliness- Grapevine

I am a 29 YO single male. I earn decently well for my age. Lately I haven’t been feeling well. As in, life is just passing by and nothing brings me joy anymore - No PS5, No long drives, no movies or shows. 
Weekends are especially lonely. During weekdays, I make sure I go to my office everyday even though it’s hybrid, to avoid feeling lonely. 
I don’t have any female friends to talk about things deeply as most of those friends are now getting married. (you know how is it with us boys. It feels weird to share emotions or talk about life with the same sex somehow). Same for male friends. They are all getting married. 
Somehow, it just feels like I focused too much on my work and didn’t invest time in finding a mate at the right time. 
Now, on weekends, I just lay on my bed like a loser. I was never like this. I had so much drive to work, to explore, etc. But now it all seems pointless. 

Do you guys have any suggestions on what to do?

Product Owner

Has someone else also felt this that the weekends feel too lonely and saddening. I go to office 5 days a week have good set of work friends across team (the people in my fellowship), go to gym and hangout with people in PG.
But boom as weekend is here there is no work no Gym no friends in office or pG to hangout with.
Friday night I pass with playstation games but Saturday becomes like a helll for me.
I forcibly motivate myself to give a mock test on Sunday and end the weekend but weekend is like the worst part of my week.
Anyone else facing it or tips to make it better

Weekend Lonilness

Hi guys, I just graduated and started working. My office doesn't really have an in-office work culture, so I usually go to the office once in a while. The rest of the days I work from home.
I live at home, and I agree that staying with your family brings in a lot of comfort. But the place where I live is a small town. I don't have friends here, and my social life has become almost zero.
I feel like I have no one to talk to, my college friends on the other hand have moved to metro cities for their jobs, living with their friends. I see them enjoying every weekend which makes me feel bad as I don't have any friends here.
Even my college friends have stopped talking to me. At times, I feel very lonely and sad. I have also been seeing a therapist for a while now.
Could someone please help me with any advice/suggestions. I'm in dire need of advice/ perspective and have no one to talk to.

Feeling sad and lonely

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have been in this industry for 4 years now and there is not a single day that i hated this place any less. Today 9th August 2023 i am all alone in my room thinking to myself about what’s the point of this? 

I have no life i am all alone and tbh i have no real friends. A few of them that i do have are so far away from me busy in their life. No love life no social life. At 27 i feel wasted, done, finished let me clarify not in a suicidal way. I just feel exhausted my body is breaking down by the day i feel. I am just broken at this point and feel like quitting this profession altogether. I just don’t feel happy. The more i work the more irritated and frustrated i get.
To top all that i have no one to share my emotions with here. Call it whatever you may wanna call a cry for help, a rant or nonsense. I am at that point where every morning feels like punishment. Every night that i go to bed i try to stay positive but i am not able to. I just hate everything. 
I am not a lazy man i work for 10-12 hours everyday and i think now that has finally got to me as i feel finished.
I don’t know if anyone will read it or not i just wanted to reach out to people or anyone who feels like me. Broken tired and just done with everything.

Can anyone explain me what’s the point

Backend engineer

I am 23M working in a well renowned Fintech startup. Have got what I have dreamed of in college like high ownership, good pay and other similar things. But lately realized that I can't do these things for my majority of life. Although I enjoy my work but still feeling lonely and aimless.

Previous to September it was remote but now they have made it hybrid and I have to reallocate to Gurgaon and now I am feeling more lonely and aimless in life.

Have tried travelling and other stuffs inorder to find interest in life but nothing excites me.

What to do in life? Feeling aimless

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Graduated in 2021, got an okayish job, still doing well career wise. I tried my own startups too. But I've never got the feeling of "yehi karna hai yaar life mein". All the friends are now disconnected. Doing WFH since forever and don't even have good connections at my current org or in my previous org. 
Tried therapy as well, didn't help much, they recommended medications, but that I'm not willing to do as of now. I don't know whether it's just me or this gruelling feeling of existential dread will ever go away. 
Maybe software engineering as a domain is like that, encourages introverts and introvertedness. But idk something is not right. No friends, no space to vent out frustrations. And it's been about 3 years since I last had a conversation with the opposite gender.
I'm in complete mental mess, only thing keeping me alive is probably gym.
I just want something to cling on to, to know this is not the end and this is not how it will end.

Dealing with lonliness

Is it okay to be alone rather than being with guys I don't like. 

College friends are the worst I have ever had.

College life

24 years and i feel like skipping one or two years of my life 
Why is the life so hard? I know everyone have struggles more than i do but i cant help but feel sad and frustrated all time
Staying away from family in a different city with a stupid job( job is there but no project or work from more than one year) 
Not able to switch job because i do not have experience 
Being alone with no friends in pg or office 
No work to keep myself busy 
Could not find any clubs or volunteer programs to try 
Tonnes of relatives in this city but no one that cares about me or not even texts me once in a month to check how i am 
I am so frustrated and sad 
Not able to overcome homesickness
Not able to start studying at all 
Not anymore interested in anything
Nd cannot forget the stupid pg food at all 

Life is like test after test now 
One bad news after another 
Cannot find positives

I wish i could skip an year or two of my life

Software Developer

I feel as I’ve grown up from college to corporate life I’ve lost out on friends and I feel kinda lonely.
This might be weird coming from a guy who’s in a relationship(happily). But you need friends too. And I had decent ones in the past, some still there but you know someone you talk to more often? I no longer feel I have those type of people in my life. And that is mostly because I stopped texting people on my own and I hardly ever got a text from them without it. 
Now to make new friends it takes a shit ton of efforts and I don’t even know where to meet new people. I wfh so definitely my social life has gone for a toss. I’m a typical software engineer. Anyway that’s it with my rant.

Friends

I was in a remote job from 2020, until last year where I was laid off in November. Then when I started searching for new companies my priority was to work on site, but again I got a remote job.
My problem is living in the house 24*7 make it dull after sometimes and you forgot the line between personal life and work life. All I did was waking up in the bed and then opening laptop and vice versa in the night. Plus you don't have social interaction. Now I have become an introvert living in my own room and it takes enormous energy to go out and meet people. Is remote job really worth it wasting my 20's sitting in the home ? 
How are you folks coping up with this thing?

Diagnosed as borderline depressed

I am 21 years old. I have good offers (20lac+) from good companies, but I am not happy.

I always feel that something is missing in life, I don't know what and why I feel so.

I tried to get in a relationship, but whenever I express this feeling, things get bad between both of us. I really want to love and get loved.

I have been living my life alone for about 3 years now. I want to make friends, and I want to be in a relationship, but the last 3 years have not been nice to me because of which I don't like going out and having fun.

I was in a depression and a workaholic nerd for the past years and feel that now I have got wired in such a way which is not letting me have fun and enjoy life.

I find myself lonely.

Whenever I don't have anything to work on, I get anxious, and I get this question, what am I doing with life.

Maybe I am feeling lonely while writing this post and may sound little gone case.

Open to your suggestions, do share your stories if you have been through this phase.

Is it normal to feel like this?

How to be happy?

Holi hai? Diwali hai? So what, nothing to enjoy. Lets spend the day laying on the bed, watching stuff over phone. Feeling less and less disconnected with friends, to the point where I feel I don't even have friends. College friends are based in another city. Didn't even try to make friends at workplace. Stuck alone in my homecity as past 6 years I was based somewhere else completing my grad and preparing for jee. Prior to that focused a lot on studies. So had little to no interaction with people during academics. And now when I have time and money to spend, there is noone with whom I can have fun with.

The older I get, the lesser my excitement becomes for festivals

Looking back at our college days, I remember how close we were. We used to think our friendship would last forever not only friends but cousins too, but things have changed. No one keeps in touch anymore. The friends I used to fart with are now distant, and when we do talk, it's only after months.

It's frustrating. We're doing well financially, but our relationships are suffering. Whether it's because of work pressure or being tied to the office, we can't visit our hometowns as often as we'd like.

On weekends, I find myself drinking alone, scrolling through old photos and videos of friends and family with some songs playing, and crying.

Life goes on...! Monday comes restart....!

I just wanted to share the feelings so i did :)

You are alone at the end of the day..!

I am doing work from home from last 2 year and it's pretty good

but my entire friend circle has moved to their office location delhi, blr aur Bombay and my college friends also got split into different cities

Sure, we catch up during occasional visits or hometown hangouts and trips, but most days, it's just me, myself, and my laptop. I've tried moving to Bangalore and stayed couple of months, but traffic take lot of time to just meet  friends and people are mostly into over work and then just drinking and smoking and don't want to talk about flats, transport and other problem

so whoever doing work from home from their hometown, how do you deal with this

my hometown is tier 3 city and routine is kind of wake up, coding, gym, movies or anime or leetcode and sleep

How to deal with wfh

Do you feel that evenings and nights are really depressing when you are lonely? 

By lonely, I mean that you don't have a partner or roommate to talk to (you can still have an active social life).

I have an active social life and I talk to people in office, but most of my past friends and roommates got married and moved on. I don't really have any interest in marriage. The mornings and afternoon feel amazing even in weekends. But evenings feel depressing and sad. 

Anyone else feel this way?
