I used to feel like that and then one day I remembered the lady I wanted to be when I was a kid and just be her. It works pretty well.
I struggle with the fact that there are so many out there who don’t think about that at all, like my dad.
He sits in the same chair 12 hours a day, doing accounting. Going on 35 years he’s been doing that. Very little joy.. very absent sense of humor.
Also, I got a Rottweiler. She has saved me from eternal misery and hazardous conditions of loneliness. She follows me everywhere I go, and she would die for me.. that’s a trip.
You should think about getting a dog , or cat, or even if you like gardening and plants.
You need reminders of life, and being responsible for the animals or plants will give you purpose.
My dog actually had puppies and we have one left. He’s 4 months old, and he is the sweetest damn dog I’ve ever met. He would make a great companion.
Try convincing your dog that your life is insignificant.. or being wasted.
You won’t be able to.

Get a dog and remember you’re not alone.
