I feel I am getting burnt out in life in general. Work has little to do with it since I have had a decent wlb so far. Pay is shitty but enough to pay my bills and save a little. I have saved up emergency funds. I work out 2-3 times a week, have friends around who I meet on weekends. But still I feel burnt out and I have no idea why.

My typical routine is - reach office at 10, work 7 hours, gym or Netflix in the evening, some slow progress with leetcode, prep a meal, talk to close friends and family, sleep. Life feels empty, I am demotivated, sluggish, and I can't fathom doing this for the next quarter century.

Looking for advice to fix my life.

    Sounds like you need to set some goals or find what really motivates you and work towards them.

      This is the correct advice. Decide what's important to you, work towards these objectives. Even if you don't fully succeed, you will feel fulfilled.

    You are feeling lonely. Get a temporary or a permanent roommate

    Even if he finds one , he will not be able to hold onto her in long run as he does not add any value to her life.

      You assumed quickly. This feeling has nothing to do with adding value in someone's life

      That is what it is. You are not motivated and happy cuz you are unable to find value in things. I dont expect you to understand it right now seeing your condition. Its ok.
