Work is going well, I get paid relatively well but deep down I am absolutely tormented. I put on a good face and sound energetic but nothing makes me happy anymore. I've always wanted to do a startup but everytime I do market research into areas I'm interested in or anything of the sort I lose interest and watch pointless YouTube videos.

I have no game with women. It crushes me more than it should when i get rejected.

My happiest was when i was in college hustling for every opportunity. I suppose I need some rigorous target so that I can succeed but this isn't a way to live life.

Any advice? Life just feels like going through the motions with no end in sight. I should be thankful and living fully, I'm 23 and make 200k. None of this makes any sense to me and I just feel so goddamn weak.

    Just join any startup you think is reasonably interesting. Honestly the people matter more than the idea/product; the right people will pivot and make the right decisions.

    So yeah, join a startup where the people check out. It’ll make life a lot more interesting. Try to get out of the house more often too, sounds like lockdown/WFH is also getting you down. I feel the same way too sometimes.

      OP
      Yeah with the startup, I totally agree. I actually think I'm chasing a sense of comraderie more than the specific product although an interesting product would be great also. Thanks!

    Hey, pal, could you tell me your nationality? It would help me to understand you a bit more (I’m Brazilian, had been depressed in the past, tried suicide and stuff but got better)

    Nonetheless, don’t feel bad for feeling bad for being rejected (lol sorry for the long sentence, didn’t sleep last night). Rejection from friends, women, workplaces hurt a lot, you’re not a loser due to that.

    You can DM me if you feel like chatting. I’m 26, not too different but 3 years do help you cope better with stuff when you’re in your 20s. Stay safe!

    It’s not about startups

    It’s about not feeling fulfilled.

    Read “the courage to be disliked” and focus on finding your community feeling.

    What makes you think that you have no game with women? You're still young, so there's still plenty of time to learn. It's OK for people to only become successful in dating in their late 20s/early 30s (I'm an example of that)

    That's why people take risks. It brings color to life.
