Lonely, depressed and unhappy
What's the point of life? All I do everyday is go to work and come back, and repeat. I also work for a company whose platform makes me even more depressed seeing everyone else have great lives. I've contemplated suicide a lot of times but haven't due to the hopes that things will get better. I'm gay and closeted as well with a homophobic family. I also live in the south Bay which is absolutely dead. Any recommendations to meet new people and make friends? TC : 240k
Can you mix it up? New job? New location? Take some time off and explore your interests?
I'm not white. I agree that gay dating sites only really work when you are white.
Are you closeted except when around family? Coming out in the bay should be a non issue...
Facebook is a really easy place to be gay. Boot up tindr / Grindr and start chatting. If you’re early on in your gay journey South Bay isn’t the best spot. Move to sf. Just start changing something.
Are you SWE? If yes, PM me, I have an idea
Yes.
So some people PMed asking what my idea is. I think I should share it publicly. I would recommend OP a team in FB that needs to grow 5x this year, has great wlb, and in a city that’s much better than s bay, with a healthy LGBT community
Find meaningful responsibility. This can be at work, family, or your community. Find something where people depend on you in a capacity where you're adding something positive to the world

You don't have to find your meaning of life at work. Try somwwhere else.
I’m sorry for what you’re going through, all I can say is it will get better. I don’t know how or when, but it’s worth holding on to.
