Losing Interest In New Things

I’m a very private person and I was a bit confused whether I should write here or not, but anyway. So, day before yesterday I was sitting on my chair after dinner and was thinking about my life and what the hell am I doing. I realised that, Saala bachpan se aaj tak race me hi bhaag raha hun. Pehle school me 1st, 2nd, 3rd aane ki race me. Then acche college milne ki race me. Then uske baad acchi job milne ki race me. Then uske baad agar ladki chahiye toh uske liye bhi ek race hai (Don’t have a gf, plz don’t take me wrong, it was a realisation) My current daily routine is like this: Wakeup everyday, write code, go gym, dinner, and then sleep and repeat this cycle everyday. School ke dost peeche chhoot gaye, college ke dost apni life me busy ho gaye, colleagues se main zyada baat nhi karta and main akela padh gaya. Feels like life is not intriguing anymore, it has no spark left. Its so painful to live everyday. I feel like I don’t want to live any more, I want to die but I can’t cuz of 2 reasons. 1. I’m the only son of my parents. 2. If I die like this, then I won’t be able to come out from the birth cycle. That’s it 🙏🏼

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.

Not sure how to say this, but I feel lonely or empty and have been feeling this for a long time now. may be more than a year. Life used to be fun when I was in school or college, can't pinpoint what it was that made it good. but now since I entered corporate world life seems monotonous. I have a stable job, good salary, and a comfortable life, but I still feel empty. There is nothing to be excited about or look forward to anymore. Everyday is the same as yesterday was. same work, same people. It is not like I don't try to have fun, I go out for movies, travel once a month. But all those seem short term solutions for this issue. I thought maybe companionship is what I need. So I tried dating apps. I got good number of matches, but for one reason or another, things never led to meetings these girls in real life. Have you ever experienced this at some point in life? would love to hear what you did to overcome such feelings.

I am in a tricky situation with no hopes for promotion soon. Already spent a good 7-9 years of my career here. I want to take a break and rethink, maybe do an MBA or CFA Not sure whether I need a break or am being frustrated and lazy. Not sure if I will pick back that momentum I had in my initial career time. Also an opportunity has come knocking at the door, for a completely new field when I was mentally preparing myself to disengage from work. What to do, ?? I know it's my decision, but a 3rd person speaking honestly would help me a lot! - Need some good advice!

Finance and personal : DINK, but planning. No major savings or investments. Will be only a few lacs (10-15 lacs) before the baby is here. Wife will be off the job for a couple of years. Will be living pay-check to pay-check on my income, with a family to support. Struggling with health. Gained 20 kgs in 3 years. Putting efforts to undo this, but struggling. Professional: 8 yoe+ in Product management. Current employer not aligned with long term personal goals ( post 5 years type goals - tier 2 settle in, remote etc ) No increment since quite a while…company is growing but slowly. Mentally: Nothing is making sense. In the larger scheme of things, nothing really matters. Inertia is there to change job. No motivation to work at all. What will I even do after a job change ? There is no excitement of the same. No excitement of starting up myself either. Something doesnt feel right. I used to be the powerhouse of energy and motivation, a while back. Now I’m just the opposite. Is it fatigue speaking ?

I was a high flyer. Extremely proud of the work i did. Personal shit happened. Financial pressure took it’s toll. Touchwood, due to god’s grace and mentors in early stages of career, I am placed well professionally. But the zeal, the energy is just gone. I feel hollow. The emotions are a sine wave, I get excited but lose all the charm in a matter of hours. Was nominated for 30u30 twice being a non founder, and had dreams of C-suite. Now am just going through the motions and have started to slack at work as well. Has anyone experienced this too? Would be helpful to know and chat!

Hi all, just looking for guidance or maybe similar people. Working in a service based company from past two years. Got this job from college placements. Work feels monotonous at best and there is nothing challenging. I don't even care about the pennies I am earning, nothing feels good. No sense of purpose. Want to switch not even getting a single selection mail lol. Maybe my resume is weak IDK. Maybe want to pursue higher studies again IDK. Maybe I want to change entire field and go into something animation related, again IDK. Ahh IDK what I am even writing, I just get bored of everything very fast and can't imagine myself working in same field for very long. Also, I want to learn everything at same time. Does any of this even makes sense!? Sorry, if this post wasted your time 🥲

So, I'm a 27 year old guy working as a software engineer for the last 4 years and come from a typical middle class family. I have made decent money of about 50 lakhs in savings but I feel like it has come at a huge cost to me which was not worth it. Here's the cost it took for me to reach this goal: - Joined college in 2016 and never enjoyed the college life or went to gym to make good physique - All I did throughout my 4 years of college was crammed DSA in the hope that one that I will be able to crack a SWE job. - Now after 4 years into my SWE career have not enjoyed life again due to work and have not worked on my physique again. - Never had a relationship. Never went on a trip. - Basically just never did anything which gave me satisfaction and kept myself holed up in my room from last 8 years. - Now when I'm 27 and approaching 30 I feel like wasted my prime years of 20s and it was all pointless. - And btw I hate my job also for which I sacrificed so much. - Now I want to change my life but whenever I try to do so I just am not able to. I'm addicted to watching reels and twitter for short term dopamine to escape my reality which is keeping me from changing my life drastically. - I know there is a problem with me and I know what I need to do fix that but I'm just not able to for some reason which makes me feel worse as it makes me depressed further and takes towards a downward spiral. - Also there is no one in my real life with whom I can share these thoughts without getting judged and feeling worse

Some days going to office just feels like I am just existing to show up. Anybody feeling the same way?
